Funny / She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Glimmer. Glimmer! I think I killed the bed!

"I-I-I can't cry on cue. Whenever a role calls for tears, the only thing that works is thinking about children falling. They're tears of laughter, but no one can tell the difference!"

— Double Trouble, "Fractures"

Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.

---

General

• Any random moment Catra acts like, well, a cat.

Season 1

The Sword, Part 1

• Adora and Catra teasing each other.
  Catra: You should have seen your face! You were like, "Aah, no! Betrayal!"
  Adora: Come on, Catra. We're senior cadets now. I can't believe you're still pulling such childish, immature— is that a mouse?!
  Catra: (alert) WHAT?! WHERE?!
  Adora: (laughing) Are you ever going to not fall for that?
  • Catra tells Adora to stop using that joke because it only happened once.
• Catra is so excited and happy that Adora has been made a force captain that she all but squees. And then there's the face◊ she makes, while saying this and purring.
  Catra: Adora, I need to blow something up!
• The reveal of the true relationship between Glimmer and Queen Angella.
  Glimmer: Your majesty.
  Queen Angella: I'm told you disobeyed orders and led the rebellion into a dangerous combat situation after you were ordered to retreat.
  Glimmer: I was trying to protect a village from falling into the Horde's grasp.
  Queen Angella: You were reckless and put yourself and the other rebels in danger.
  Glimmer: Fighting is supposed to be dangerous. How are we going to hold our own against the Horde if we keep retreating? Pretty soon we won't have anything left to defend!
  Queen Angella: I'm growing tired of your backtalking, Commander Glimmer.
  Glimmer: Why did you even make me a commander if you won't let me fight?
  Queen Angella: That's enough! You're... grounded!
  Glimmer: Ugh, MOM!
  Queen Angella: You heard me!
  Glimmer: You never let me do anything!
  Queen Angella: We are not having this discussion tonight! (You are embarrassing me in front of my royal court!)
  Glimmer: Oh-ho-ho, I'M embarrassing YOU?!
  Queen Angella: Go to Your Room!!
  Glimmer: I'm going!
• As Adora "borrows" a ship for her and Catra to drive, they fight over the controls and when Adora tells Catra they need enough fuel to get back, Catra shrugs and says that it was for future Adora and Catra to worry about.
• Adora informs Catra that any Horde soldier that went into the Whispering Woods never came back...
  Catra: Let's go in!
  Adora: What? [screams as Catra angles their ship towards the forest]
• Bow shooting a message arrow into Glimmer's room that has a cute picture of his face winking and saying "Look outside".
  • The back and forth between the two with Glimmer trying to whisper that she's grounded only for Bow to ask what she meant in a loud voice.
• Glimmer teleporting Bow out of her room and then dropping him into some bushes. He squeaks as he falls.
• As the queen argues with Glimmer again, Bow nonchalantly sits outside waiting for Glimmer to appear and tell him she wants to join him in the search.
• Catra's small running gag of asking if Adora had brain damage and hoping she doesn't.
• Adora's dedication to Hordak in the beginning is rather brutally lampshaded by Bow.
  Bow: Your army is called the Evil Horde.
  Adora: Who calls us that?!
  Bow: [Beat] EVERYBODY!
• Adora distracting the beast from Glimmer and Bow, but as it charges at her, she clumsily handles the sword.
  Adora: Come on, Magic Sword. Oh, where's a blinding flash of light when you need one?!

The Sword, Part 2

• When they see Adora as She-Ra for the first time, Bow has to check that Glimmer is seeing it as well.
• Adora donning her princess outfit for the first time, and she's incredibly freaked out.
  Adora: [to Glimmer] What did you do to me?!
  Glimmer: What do you mean what did I do to you?!
  Adora: I didn't know being a princess was contagious!
  Bow: [clearly not calm, voice cracking all over the place] OKAY, OKAY, EVERYONE CALM DOWN! You wanna tell us how you did that?!
  Adora: I didn't do anything! All I did was pick up the sword and then, WHOOSH! I'm in a tiara!
• The look on Adora's face when she's disguised.
• Adora trying to pretend that she knows what a party is before admitting that she doesn't. This brings a gasp of pure horror from Bow and him insisting to Glimmer that they had to show Adora the festival.
  • Throughout the party, she stuffs her mouth with food to Glimmer's slight discomfort.
  • Then Adora helps a group of children smash their version of a pinata, complete with her warrior stance and when she reappears on screen with blue splatters over her face looking proud.
• Adora revealing to Bow that she doesn't even know what a birthday is.
  Bow: No birthdays? How is your life this sad?
• Adora's reaction at seeing a horse for the first time, and she's literally enamored with the creature.
  Adora: What. Is. THAT?!
  Bow: That would be a horse.
  Adora: (revered whisper) It's majestic.
  • Bow puts Adora's hand out for the horse and it nuzzles her. Adora is beaming with happiness.
    Adora: This is the best day of my life~!
• The mere fact that before becoming an alicorn, Swift Wind was a horse named Horsey.
• Just as the episode ends, Bow wonders who Horsey actually belongs to (and, implicitly, acknowledging that they're stealing the horse).

Razz

• Glimmer convinces Angella to come to her room for a surprise. That surprise is Adora, former Horde soldier.
  Glimmer: Okay, my mom's on her way, but no one panic.
  Adora: What?!
  Glimmer: [visibly panicking] I SAID NO ONE PANIC!
  • Later, this gem:
  Glimmer: I don't think my mom is going to buy "Hey, Mom, we found a Horde soldier. Can we keep her?"
• Adora has a bit of a learning curve with triggering her transformation.
• Adora repeating the keyword for her sword in different voices because nothing was working.
  Adora: Honor of Grayskull, blah, blah, blah.
• "Horsey" has an... appropriate reaction to suddenly gaining wings and a horn.
• Razz telling Adora that the alicorn would like to be called Swift Wind, and that Horsey was a stupid name.
• Razz gives some vague, sage-like wisdom about how Adora will always find her... and then immediately asks herself "Who was that girl"?
• Razz telling Adora that she'll have to speak up because she's not wearing her glasses (she is).

Flowers for She-Ra

• Adora is rather flabbergasted by the luxury of her new room at Bright Moon, and then her new bed is so soft that she gets trapped in it. Later, her attempts to flatten said bed end up creating an explosion of feathers. What's even more hilarious was how she meekly called for help with a look of absolute terror.
  • She walks down the hall when the feathers shoot her out of her room, and she whispers for Glimmer.
    Adora: Glimmer. Glimmer. I think I killed the bed.
• Wandering the halls, Adora bumps into Queen Angela and attempts a salute/curtsey which leaves her awkwardly balancing on one leg, whilst still covered in feathers from her destroyed bed.
• Glimmer wakes up, only to look directly at Adora, sleeping in her bed. Understandably, she freaks out, especially since the back of Adora's shirt, still with its Horde symbol, is what's facing her.
  • This of course, means that Adora somehow climbed up to Glimmer's hanging bed without so much as waking her.
• Bow pointing out that Spinnerella and Netossa are the only princesses who are still active members in the Rebellion, but admits to Adora, "We're not really sure what they do."
• The huge bug eyes of terror Bow gives when Adora accidentally sits in the king's seat.
• When Catra reveals that she's now Force Captain to her teammates, she brags that Shadow Weaver now isn't the only one in charge; guess who appears right behind her?
• She-Ra giving a very short and gruff speech, and yet it still brings Perfuma to tears.
  • She also gets confused when a child and a local hug her.
  • She-Ra's utter confusion at Perfuma's chirpiness and energy.
• Bow starting to lay on the legends about She-Ra, claiming she fought off one army by herself, with a toothbrush. She-Ra quietly tells him that it wasn't true.
  Bow: You're right... it was two armies!
• She-Ra trying to get her powers down and failing miserably.
  She-Ra: I know what I'm doing! (Cut to her pacing) I don't know what I'm doing!
  • One of her powers gives a lizard a horn and rainbow wings.
    Bow: Is that what happened to our horse?
• Two villagers can be seen beating a Horde member with leaf fans and two other are dragging a soldier off screen rolled up in a carpet.
• Asking Perfuma to join the Rebellion:
  Glimmer: Join the Rebellion, and help me reform the Princess Alliance.
  Perfuma: Um, are you sure? Didn't that go horribly the first time?
  Glimmer: It went horribly for our parents. But we have a chance to do it right. We're clearly stronger together. Think what all the Princesses united could do.
  Perfuma: ...Would I get to hit more people with flowers?
  Glimmer: Absolutely.
  Perfuma: You have a deal. Hey, everyone! Look at us. We're mighty rebels now.
  • Perfuma has just been so pacifistic throughout most of the episode that it's a hilarious contrast seeing her be so happy about fighting.

The Sea Gate

• At the very beginning, Adora's Deer in the Headlights expression when Glimmer tries outlining her plan to the Queen.
• Adora beats Sea Hawk at arm wrestling, and he tries to blow it off.
• Sea Hawk can't get Glimmer's name right, he calls her "Shimmer", "Glitter", and "Sparkle".
  • Mermista calls Glimmer "Twinkle".
• Scorpia looks like a big domineering villain, but she bubbles up immediately when she sees Catra.
  Scorpia: Kitty!
  Catra: What?
  Scorpia: (hugging Catra) Just so you know, I'm a hugger!
• Catra's terrified expression on the boat, and Scorpia not helping her feel any better.
  Scorpia: Boats! I just love boats, don't you? Wind in your hair, ocean on every side, miles and miles from the nearest dry land. Watery death awaiting at the slightest mishap? Man, that's what I call livin'.
  Catra: (shrieks as water splashes up towards her) Yeah. I'm really gonna need you to shut up.
• Catra yelling at the recruits to get back to doing "boat stuff".
• Sea Hawk keeps trying to start a shanty to explain to the trio how to do the tasks needed on the ship, but the first time Bow ties a knot without needing help, Glimmer teleports to the crow's nest without needing to climb the ropes, and Adora unfurls the ship's jib by herself, something that Sea Hawk has to admit he couldn't do. Adora's smugness at that just takes the cake.
  • When Sea Hawk manages to finally sing his shanty, Bow is the only one really enthusiastically going along with it.
• Bow internally squeeing when Sea Hawk compliments him on his knot work.
  Bow: (internal thoughts) Sea Hawk is impressed with my knots! This is the best day of my life!
• Sea Hawk explains that his boat is The Dragon's Daughter III because the last two burned down. Why? Because he set them on fire. He thought it was charming.
• Adora turning into She-Ra to take down the sea creature. Bow admits that they're used to it at this point.
  Sea Hawk: Is that a normal thing she does?
  Bow: Yeah, it takes some getting used to.
  • She-Ra is soon dragged down into the ocean. When she pops up from the water again, only to be dragged back down, Sea Hawk's face has a look of astonishment.
  • Then Glimmer, having no more of this, orders Adora to get back in the boat once she's slain the monster for good.
  Glimmer: Adora, GET IN THE BOAT!
• Scorpia asking if Catra didn't learn about the sea gate during Force Captain orientation, which was a surprise to Catra.
  Catra: There's a Force Captain orientation?
• Catra taking charge:
  Catra: We're taking that gate!
  Scorpia: Ooooh, impressive captain yell.
• The guard at Mermista's palace tells the group to halt, and then the poor guy has to run down the stairs and is out of breath when he approaches them.
• Sea Hawk tells the guard to tell Mermista he's arrived and she'd be excited to see him. Cut to Mermista's annoyed face.
  Mermista: Ew, who let him back in here?
  • She is not any more enamoured with him after several more minutes of conversation:
  Mermista: Why did you bring him here? He is- (through clenched teeth) So. Annoying.
• She asks for her guard to go fetch some hors d'oeuvres for their guests. When Sea Hawk gets excited by this she adds, "Everyone but Sea Hawk."
• The reason why she doesn't like Sea Hawk? He got them kicked out of a restaurant, and tried to duel-venture with the doorman. He also set fire to their gondola in the tunnel of love. Sea Hawk doesn't recall the former, but proudly admits to the latter.
• Adora transforming into She-Ra, which comes as a surprise to Mermista.
  Mermista: Wow, okay, that's... different.
• Sea Hawk's squeak of terror when Glimmer teleports behind him on the boat.
• Glimmer gets an idea that only Sea Hawk does best.
  Glimmer: I need your help. I need you to do, what you do best.
  Sea Hawk: What?
  Glimmer: Set your ship on fire.
  Sea Hawk: (sparkling) Yes!
• Why does Mermista join the Rebellion?
  Mermista: The Horde almost destroyed my home. I wanna help fight them. ...Pluuus, your friend over there can turn into a, like, eight-foot-tall lady with a sword and I want her on my side.
• Mermista gifts Sea Hawk a new boat, but adds that he should try to not burn this one.
  Sea Hawk: No promises!
  • After Mermista says he can have a new boat, there's a cut to her butler/herald smashing a bottle on it.

System Failure

• Entrapta only eats tiny food.
• Entrapta looking up at her robots going rogue.
  Entrapta: Edit on log. I am going to run.
• The way Glimmer looks at She-Ra ready to break the door down with her sword.
• Entrapta making note that the virus affected the "tall one", making her "less tall".
• Glimmer argues that they should destroy the crystal since this whole experiment was a clear failure. Entrapta tries to argue before looking back at her robot and admitting that yeah, this was a failure.
• When she wakes up, Adora spends most of the rest of the episode acting in a manner highly reminiscent of someone who is drunk or high. Every single thing she does in this state is hilarious, including — blanking staring into space at several points, trying to touch Entrapta as she's being electrocuted and Glimmer swats her hand down, seeing double of Glimmer and cracking "that's nice", and almost passing out in Glimmer's arms after mumbling "I'm gonna take a nap now".
• Entrapta activates the code to her door and gets electrocuted in the process. Adora is smiling widely and tries to reach out to touch the princess, but Glimmer quietly puts her hand down.
  Entrapta: Wow! The door is infected too, it won't let us in! That is so smart! (beat) And awful, we're all gonna die.
• Glimmer saying that if she were to try and teleport in her current condition, she would leave someone's legs behind. Entrapta quickly offers to give up one of her legs if Glimmer gives up one of hers.

In the Shadows of Mystacor

• Adora not realizing that Glimmer's aunt was Micah (Glimmer's dad)'s sister, and Bow asks if she didn't know what an aunt was. Adora admits that she was hoping someone would eventually tell her.
• Adora doesn't know how to relax and when Glimmer asks how she relaxed with the Horde, Adora states that they just hit things.

Princess Prom

• When Adora tells Glimmer and Bow about the invitation she got and they start celebrating, she thinks they've gone crazy.
• How did Perfuma ask Bow slickly to the Princess Prom? During their battle with the Horde back in Episode 4.
  Perfuma: Wanna go to the ball with me?
  Bow: (notching an arrow) Okay!
• Adora treating the entire ball like a battleground. She even made an obstacle course!
• Scorpia being totally unable to focus on Catra actually calling her to a secret meeting to come up with an Evil Plan.
  Catra: Shadow Weaver failed to get Adora, and if Hordak finds out she's disobeying him, she'll take us down with her. She's obsessed, when we need to think big picture. It's time for someone new to take over: me. So, you in?
  Scorpia: I'm hanging out in your room!
  Catra: Unfortunately, you're the only one I can trust around here.
  Scorpia: Because we're best friends.
• Scorpia tells Catra the reason she got an invitation was because she was a Princess, much to Catra's shock. She then tells her a bit of her backstory and why she's with the Horde, adding that this was covered in the Force Captain orientation.
  Catra: I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have skipped that.
• "You're telling my whole life, with your words."
• Adora being clingy of her sword, the same way an overprotective mother would feel on the first day of their child attending kindergarten.
  Adora: (As Glimmer tries to drag her away) You've gotta be careful with it, don't just lean it somewhere, and don't keep it with the other swords oritmightgetconfused!
• Entrapta viewing the whole ball as a social experiment. She's also extremely giddy to find that the ball has free tiny food that she's stashed in her pocket.
• Mermista taking Sea Hawk as her plus one, but denying it and saying that he was just her ride.
• Adora having to point out that Catra was with the Horde. Which was against the Rebellion. Which Entrapta was a part of. She finally understands after the third part.
• Catra trolling Adora the whole time, such as sneakily hiding something in the trash... which turns out to be a cutesy note saying "Hi, Adora!"
• Three words: Catra meets Entrapta.
  Catra: She stole my food, and then asked me to spy on people with her. Is this what love feels like?

No Princess Left Behind

• The disagreement over what object represents whom.
  Adora: No! This one represents Glimmer, and Bow, and this one is mine! (beat as everyone looks at her in confusion) Bow made these for us. Anyway- that's not the point!
• Mermista totally not on board with the fact that she will have to be the one to swim through the sewers.
  • The long "ugh!" Mermista gives as she pulls off the manhole cover. More specifically, the groan starts during the flashback and continues in the present.
• The calm and happy Perfuma slowly getting annoyed with Entrapta, even resorting to wrapping vines around her waist so "they don't get lost". When Entrapta goes missing from the group, she angrily yells that Entrapta was ruining her calm energy.
• Sea Hawk reading a sign that says "duck", but Scorpia thinks he means it literally and excitedly looking around for a duck. When she gets hit by a swinging crane and is sent flying, her shout of surprise sounds less like pain or fear and more like "Ohhhhhhhh!"
  • Sea Hawk thanks Entrapta for the save and she admits, "To be honest, I didn't know which one of you I was gonna hit."
• Entrapta reprograms a robot that she names "Emily".
• Sea Hawk, while pretending to be an inspector, lightly pats a section of pipe. The section of pipe promptly pops entirely out of place, sending Sea Hawk scrambling to put it back before giving up and just setting it on its side in the gap while giving Scorpia an embarrassed smile.
  • Sea Hawk's inspector disguise? He styled his hair and mustache a little differently than normal. Scorpia doesn't realize for a long while.
  • Sea Hawk and Adora's disbelieving faces when Scorpia not only totally buys the excuse, but drags Sea Hawk off so he can "inspect" the facility.

The Beacon

• Bow, Glimmer and Adora acting "casual" when Queen Angella comes in to inspect her daughter.
• Without her powers, Glimmer can't get up to her bed, whose height she only seems to be noticing now.
  Glimmer: And why did I put my bed up so high?!
  • She then looks to Bow for help.
  Glimmer: Give me a boost?
• Catra approaches the imprisoned Entrapta, threateningly tapping a stun baton in the palm of her hand.
  Catra: Prisoner.
  Scorpia: [leaning in to whisper] That's Entrapta.
  Catra: I know her name, I was just— Ugh, never mind.
• As Entrapta talks to Catra, Scorpia can be seen trying to put the bricks back into the wall, but when she puts one in, another brick falls out.
• Entrapta slipping out of her cuffs to Scorpia and Catra's surprise and when she tries to go back, she gets confused.
  Entrapta: Um... which hair part went through which cuff?
• Bow is the only one concerned about Adora trying to use the sword to heal Glimmer, asking her loudly, "Do you want to get hit with the sword?!"
  Bow: Who's ready to stop messing around with sharp objects? Hey look, I am!
  • She-Ra throws her sword into the wall out of frustration.
  Bow: SWORD SAFETY!
• When She-Ra jumps out of the window to go on her secret mission, there's a rustle of her landing offscreen in the bushes with a whispered "Ouch!".
  Bow: She's fine.

Promise

• The Running Gag of Entrapta easily slipping out of her restraints and then right back into them when someone points out she's supposed to be a prisoner.
• Adora trying to get the AI system of the Citadel to work with her, and gets frustrated when it keeps repeating unhelpful information. You can practically hear her getting this close to yelling, "I, want, to, speak, to, the, manager!"
• Catra noticing Adora's smug grin after protecting her, and tells her that she didn't save her back at the Horde base because she liked her.
• Adora angrily pointing out the reason she was at the Citadel to Catra.
  Adora: Oh, my friends? You mean the ones you kidnapped and held for ransom? The ones you let Shadow Weaver imprison and curse?
  Catra: Yeah, obviously. What other friends would I be talking about?
• Scorpia talking with Entrapta, gushing over spending time with Catra.
  Scorpia: Catra and I were on a boat together, have I talked about that?
  Entrapta: Uh huh. (plays Scorpia recording)
  Scorpia: "Last time Catra and I were on a boat together! That was the best day ever!"
  Entrapta: You did.
• Catra reminding Scorpia that they had a talk about personal space.
  Scorpia: Oh, right. Ten foot radius.
  • Then Entrapta shoves her face in Catra's space.

Light Hope

• Light Hope tries to change her appearance to be less unnerving to Adora, but it goes so badly that she prefers the first version.
  • Right before the cut to credits, it's implied that Light Hope starts turning into an Eldritch Abomination. In an attempt to make Adora feel more comfortable.
• Everyones reactions to The Reveal that Swift Wind can now talk:
  • Bow and Glimmer openly scream and clutch each other as Swift Wind just takes this all in...well, stride.
  • Swift Wind trying to tell Bow and Glimmer some important information, but they keep freaking out over the fact that Swift Wind can talk. He tiredly asks if he should wait for them to get all of it out of their system before continuing. It is also amusing in general to see Bow and Glimmer freaking out about a talking horse with wings when they very clearly live in a world where people have powers such as semi-sentient hair.
  • Queen Angella doesn't even blink at a talking horse.
  • Before leaving, Swift Wind salutes Queen Angella, before turning around and saying that they should free all the horses from the stables because it was unjust. Cue Bow coming in to pull the horse with them as he tries to make his arguments to the queen heard.
  • And earlier, when he realizes he screwed up by talking in front of her, he pretends to think the idea of a talking horse is silly.
  • Adora meets Swift Wind who can now speak and her eyes are bugging out of her head.
    Adora: You can talk??
    Swift Wind: Yep, I can talk.
    Adora: You can talk?!
    Swift Wind: ...I can see now why you're friends with Bow and Glimmer.
• Entrapta kinda goes a bit far with dumbing down her explanation of how she studied the First Ones tech.
  Entrapta: Wait, do I have to explain math to you?
  • During all this, Scorpia is furiously scribbling on a notepad, which Entrapta thinks means she understands. Catra knows better.
  Catra: Scorpia is drawing stick-figures holding hands.
  Scorpia: (shows Catra and Entrapta her work, which is indeed crude stick-figure versions of them holding hands) I call it "Super Pal Trio"! This is me, this is Catra, and I think it's clear. Come on, I mean, I'm a bit of an artist.
• When Adora says staying is the greater good, she and Swift Wind get into an argument.
  Swift Wind: Adora, I've had the ability to think complex thoughts for like a week, and even I know you can't help by hiding. Where'd all the horses I'd freed from their farms be if I sat in a pasture and moped?
  Adora: (Exaggerated Scoffing) I'm not moping. (Sees an unimpressed Swift Wind giving her a flat look) I'm not!

The Battle of Bright Moon

• Glimmer takes her friends to the armory, which was just a lot of armor and weapons she managed to smuggle when the others weren't looking.
  • Her mother walks in on the group and asks her daughter if she really didn't expect her to notice that she was stealing weapons.
  • While there, Bow starts geeking out over the fancy arrows, while Swift Wind instantly sets his longing gaze at an Epic Flail, together with Puppy-Dog Eyes. Adora shots him down.
• Netossa and Spinnerella get ready to join the fight, and Netossa asks Bow if he still didn't know what they really did. He sheepishly tries to avoid the question and Netossa angrily mutters that she casts magical nets. Spinnerella consoles her wife and says that she makes lovely nets.
  Netossa: It's in the name! I toss nets!
• Catra mocking She-Ra on how she can't land a punch on her.
• When Sea Hawk and Mermista show up, Sea Hawk is ready to torch his boat again. A quick splash from Mermista ends that plan.
  • Then later in the battle, he burns it anyway.

Season 2

The Frozen Forest

• Adora can't get the Sword of Protection to shapeshift into what she wants, resulting in her holding a cup, a pitcher, and a parasol.
  Catra: Did you mean to do that? Because if you did, that's a terrible weapon.
  Adora: Is not!
• Light Hope continues to not have the greatest of people skills.
  Light Hope: Is the one you call "Catra" not mean?
  Adora: (sad) ...No, she is.
  Light Hope: (mechanically pats Adora on the head) There. There.
  • The fact that Light Hope is a hologram, and thus, here hand goes through Adora's head, makes it so much funnier.
  Adora: I've been training with you for a month and I haven't gotten any better.
  Light Hope: This latest performance was, in fact, worse. (Beat) Please disregard. My human inspiration protocol is still in the Beta stage. Should I smile more? (creepy smile)

  Adora: When you grow up with someone, they just know how to push your buttons.
  Light Hope: I can relate. I also have buttons.

  Light Hope: You must learn to master your emotions, or you are destined to repeat the mistakes of the last She-Ra.
  Adora: No pressure, huh?
  Light Hope: There is quite a bit of pressure. Was that not clear?
• The first meeting of the Princess Alliance gets off to a great start...
  Perfuma: [to Mermista] Sorry, heh, I think that's my chair.
  Mermista: [not budging] Yeah, don't you find it helpful to shift perspectives sometimes?
  [Perfuma's eye twitches violently before she wordlessly takes the chair next to her]
• Swift Wind wants a chair at the council, since everyone else has a chair. Angella promises she'll look into it.
• When Catra is giving a report to Hordak, she has a minor freak out when she realizes that Entrapta is rummaging around his stuff behind the throne.
• While watching the princesses battle the robots, Entrapta and Scorpia act like they're watching an action movie or wrestling match.

Ties That Bind

• Light Hope, as per usual, has quite a few laughs to give once she starts glitching out and freezing whilst talking to Adora and Swift Wind which naturally creeps the two out. The best one is right before the two head off to fix the Watchtower and Light Hope's face gets stuck looking like a Picasso painting. Adora and Swift Wind decide to peace out by that point.
• One of Entrapa's robots experiences an "existential crisis", goes berserk, and rampages through her lab as she screams.
• Catra is the worst prisoner.
  Catra: [as Glimmer drags her up a hill] Getting held hostage is sooo much work. Though not as exhausting as torturing Entrapta every day.
  Glimmer: Bow, can't you keep her mouth shut!?
  Bow: I tried, but she bites!
  Catra: *winks*
• Catra causally scratching herself with her foot while Bow and Glimmer discuss what to do with her.
• Swift Wind insists that the best way to get Adora out of her slump is to fly loopedy-loops.
  • He sings a song as he and Adora head to the watchtower, which, considering Adora's more than stressed and confused state, doesn't help.
  Adora and Swift Wind on an adventure~
  To fix the thing that Mara broke~
  When she went NUTS!
• It's revealed that Swift Wind thinks of everybody else as a horse, coupled with a thought bubble of each character he mentions as a horse, including Shadow Weaver who's still wearing her human mask.
• There's something hilarious about how Catra bluffs Glimmer: She orders Kyle to kill Entrapta, knowing full well he's too incompetent to actually pull it off if by chance he takes the order seriously.
• While it admittedly moves into sadder territory once they figure out she betrayed them Entrapta needing a reminder about why Bow and Glimmer are rescuing her is funny to start with:
  Entrapta: Hi Bow! What are you doing there?
  Glimmer: Just hang on Entrapta, we're going to rescue you.
  Entrapta: That's good. (Beat) Rescue me from what?
  Glimmer: From the Horde!
  Entrapta: Oh well, that's nice of you. But all of my stuff is here now so probably I'll just stay.

Signals

• Hordak has some one-on-one time with Entrapta, who has broken into his lab. Watching his reaction as he goes from murderous rage over this blatant violation of his sanctum to awed shock as Entrapta effortlessly fixes the problem he's been having is a stitch.
• In the background as Hordak lectures Entrapta on portal theory and the existence of other worlds, Imp can be seen messing with all the tools Entrapta had been using, clearly trying to claim some of his master's attention back for himself.
• The final scene has Scorpia and Catra rush into the lab, apologizing profusely for Entrapta's actions and promising to keep her on a leash. Their reward is a death glare from Hordak who angrily informs them that Entrapta is now his assistant and they are the ones intruding.
  • Entrapta's reaction to this is whispering excitedly to Emily that she's "Never had a lab partner before!"
• Catra all but accuses Shadow Weaver of actively sabotaging her attempts to be an effective SIC for Hordak. Shadow Weaver's smug expression as she easily solves Catra's current problem and points out how her new job isn't quite what she thought it would be is priceless, even if you hate the old witch.
• Adora keeps telling ghost stories she heard as a kid in the Horde, all of which seem to involve some evil ghost princess. She never noticed this theme until Bow points it out.
• Startled by a window shutter blowing in the wind, Adora and Bow brace for an attack... while Glimmer immediately teleports away without them. She at least has the good grace to look embarrassed when she returns.
  Glimmer: I’m so sorry. I have no idea why I did that.
• Entrapta explaining how failure is a vital part of scientific discovery.
  Entrapta: (to Emily) What if I had given up on you after the first explosion? Or the fiftieth?!

Roll With It

• Just as Adora is panicking about the possibility of having to fight Catra again, claiming that the Horde will have its strongest and brightest warriors defending the post. It then cuts to who's actually in charge of the fortress: Scorpia.
  Scorpia: Can you believe Catra left me in charge?
  Lonnie: Uh, no. I really can't.
• Scorpia gets a lot of hilarious moments throughout the Horde's B-plot. From openly expressing her not-so obvious crush on Catra and how she hopes to impress her by protecting the fortress to her bossing Kyle around with the most trivial of tasks.
  Scorpia: Kyle! What are you doing?!
  Kyle: Uh, I was-
  Scorpia: Go find out Catra's favorite color!
  • What's even better is how Lonnie is comforting Scorpia later on saying that the Princesses don't have Frostbite, plant golems or "Sea-Ra". Guess what the princesses end up bringing to the battle?
• As the beaten Horde soldiers float away from their fallen fortress, they unanimously vote to pin the blame on Kyle. The most objection he can muster is a dejected "Awwww."
• The fact that the military planning sessions are set up like a game of Dungeons & Dragons, complete with DM screen. Perfuma even starts referring to her actions as her turns.
• The running gag of Bow getting killed in each of the planned scenarios, even when he personally takes command of the scenario.
  Bow: Tiny Bow, you will be AVENGED!
  • Bow gets really defensive about Tiny Bow.
    Bow: You're breaking Tiny Bow's heart.
    Glimmer: He's smiling, Bow!
    Bow: Through his pain, Glimmer! Through his pain!
• Glimmer's Imagine Spot is a mix of neo-noir, anime and spy fiction. It manages to be both awesome and hilarious, with bonus points for both Adora and Bow pointing out that her plan is awful because she is counting with about 12 more teleports than what she should be able to do. Not to mention she inexplicably imagines Catra as a sexy stereotypically evil Femme Fatale.
  • And in the middle of the Imagine Spot, Perfuma comes out of nowhere and randomly shouts, "I cast Giant Flytrap on Catra!".
• Mermista is on guard duty. You sense her heart's not in it.
  Mermista: Oh, look, the fortress is still there, like it was an hour ago.
• Mermista's fictional version of herself as She-Ra: Sea-Ra. Bonus with a dolphin version of Swift Wind and the transformation theme with a Caribbean twist.
  Mermista: For the honor of gray whales!!
  • As it cuts back to Mermista describing "Sea-Ra" Bow can be seeing nodding in agreement with everything she says.
  • Mermista describing her transformation sequence, lampshading She-Ra’s in the process.
    Mermista: Then it's like, sparkle, sparkle, dolphin, sparkle.
    Adora: Mermista.
    Mermista: I get shoes that are slightly better than my normal shoes. There's probably another dolphin.
    Adora: Mermista!
    Mermista: Then I twirl, and my hair does this thing where it looks all messy, but it's actually, like, really super-beautiful.
• All the takes on Catra by each member of the Rebellion, including a scribbly cranky version (Perfuma) and a punk-like sunglasses-wearing version who "Likes to ruin parties" (Frosta).
  • Glimmer's take is so off-the-base that Adora and Bow can barely contain their laughter.
• Frosta's Imagine Spot for the attack involves her as an animesque badass warrior with incredibly detailed powers and a backstory that would make any OC creator jealous.
• Bow's fictional versions of everyone are done in the style of the original She-Ra cartoon (minus the stiff animation). Adora finds it incredibly painful having to listen to Bow (who has a moustache for some reason) and his version of Catra spewing bad puns at each other until she begs him to stop.
  Bow: It looks like I've got you meow, evildoer!
  Catra: I'd paws to reflect on your upcoming death if I were mew.
  • In general, Bow's version of Catra is hilarious both because Adora cannot believe Bow thinks Catra's like this, and because the real Catra would go beyond enraged if she heard about it.
    Bow's Catra: Fools, I won't you let you destroy my purrrrfect plan!
    Adora: WHAT?!
    Glimmer: (chuckles) This is kind of amazing.
  • Perfuma's reaction to Bow's version (especially since her reaction suggests Bow actually took the time to describe what everyone looks like).
    Perfuma: Oooh, we all get hats!
    Mermista: Urgh.
  • Mermista's reaction to the awful, awful puns:
    Mermista: Mmm. Now we're all hoping this mission kills us.
  • Of course, Bow's Catra transforms into a giant cat, like in the original show. But the in-universe reason is that... Bow didn't make a miniature for Catra so he is using a cat figure instead. He then adds the Horde now has dragons because he didn't pack enough robot figures.
  • As an added bonus, a new rendition of "I Have the Power" plays over the end credits like the original series.
• The planning session devolving into chaos as every princess argues their Mary Sue fantasy's the best, and Scorpia taking them all seriously.

  Frosta: Frostbite uses snow strike to freeze the tower and break it in half! Kapow!

  Mermista: Uh, you mean Sea-Ra will use the Trident of Power to blow it up!

  Frosta: You don't have a Trident of Power!

  Mermista: Bow, make me a Trident of Power!

• Seeing the spybot's eye get little right before it gets hit with the soda that seals its doom. Beautiful nonverbal Oh, Crap!.
• Lonnie knows better than to say anything, and Rogelio can't, but their expressions throughout the episode betray a lot of snark running through their minds, especially while they're listening to Scorpia.
• Scorpia resolves one of Season 1's biggest mysteries in a humorous fashion:
  Scorpia: Who's Rogelio?
  Lonnie: Rogelio. The lizard guy.
  Scorpia: Ooooooh... Right...
  Lonnie: (Face Palm)
  Scorpia: Yeah, I was wondering what his deal was.
• Scorpia threatening to drop Glimmer off a bridge, only for Glimmer to start punching and kicking her, undercutting the dramatic moment.
  Scorpia: Ow! Hey, you don't hit the person dangling you over the edge. Stop!

White Out

• Spending most of the episode having a heart-to-heart about trying to gain the respect of their respective friends, Scorpia and Sea Hawk end up charging into battle together to save their friends from rogue robots, leading to this exchange:
  Scorpia: For the Horde!!
  Sea Hawk: I don't share that sentiment but I’M ALSO HERE!
  • Bonus points because Scorpia starts this heart-to-heart by breaking off in the middle of fighting Sea Hawk to angst about Catra not reciprocating her feelings.
• Drunk Adora comes back, with Scorpia, of all people, having to keep an eye on her.
  • (To Scorpia and Seahawk) "You guys are my BEST FRIENDS!"
  • "Yay! Girls' night in!"
  • (To Glimmer) "Heyyy! I know you."
  • "You're gooood friends and goooood people."
  • "Catra. Haha. She's mean."
• Adora clumsily swinging a mop around as if it's a sword.
• Sea Hawk asking Scorpia if he's cool, while they literally fight. Scorpia responds with a "Potentially".
• When complaining about how much Catra is taking her for granted, Scorpia mentions that Catra once used her shell to sharpen her claws on. Somehow the completely calm way she describes it as her “rock-hard exoskeleton” makes it all the funnier. She doesn’t even sound like she’s bragging.
• Later on, Sea Hawk sings his "I Am" Song with a very depressed tone and lyrics.
• Adora (while still drunk) manages to get them out of the bunker by punching Catra's favorite number into the keypad. Given how many buttons she presses, Catra's favorite number is apparently very long.
  • Then she runs outside and sticks her tongue out to taste the snow, oblivious to the giant bug robots approaching her.
  • Scorpia is very taken aback by the fact that Adora knows Catra's favorite number and she doesn't.
• After escaping from the ice base Catra is in despair because they lost the disk that could control She-Ra and weren't able to bring back any First One's tech for Hordak. Then Entrapta reveals that she already has the tech they were looking for and pulls at a giant disk (that she somehow managed to take without Catra and Scorpia noticing). It turns out that Entrapta found the tech sometime ago but didn't tell the others because she thought they were all having so much fun together before running off with it. Catra actually cracks a small smile at this.

Light Spinner

• Micah's first on-screen act is to try to upstage his teacher by shattering her illusion. She responds by blowing it up with a much bigger one.
• Micah makes a rather unflattering illusionary caricature of Norywn.

Reunion

• When Adora and Glimmer find Bow in the library to try to free him, they are disconcerted because... Bow has his midriff covered.
  Adora: We're here to break you out! Or fight your kidnappers, or, uh — we're not exactly sure what we're — (her and Glimmer's eyes drift towards Bow's covered stomach) Uhm...
  Glimmer: (gasps) What have they done to you?!
  • Glimmer proceeds to literally cry upon seeing Bow's midriff covered.
  • In the same vein, George's over-the-top reaction when Bow rips that part of his shirt off.
• While pretending to be a scholar to keep Bow's dads in the dark, Adora continually mispronounces things, trying to sound more sophisticated. And Glimmer cringing every time she does it.
• At one point during the library tour the group comes across a vase with a past She-Ra on it whose steed was a Dragon, Adora reacts with a lot of jealousy.
• When Bow's dads learn Adora can read the First Ones language, George immediately pulls up his sleeve and asks what his tattoo says. When Adora says it's "lunch," he freaks out, because it's supposed to say "love." Lance finds the whole thing hilarious.
• Scorpia finds Catra on her bed, sulking. Scorpia picks up a blanket and holds it over Catra ominously, only to wrap Catra in the blanket, cradle her like a baby, and tell her she's safe. Catra is mortified.
• The scream Adora lets out when she gets thrown across the room is completely hilarious because you can tell she wasn't expecting that to happen at all.
• Adora can't keep the major Bow said she had straight, ending up with something like five of them. Including art, history, art history, and linguistics.
  After everything goes to hell
  Bow: Adora has a sixth major in She-Ra?

Season 3

The Price of Power

• Adora and Bow having a staring contest, complete with old western music in the background.
  • Also, Adora repeatedly and constantly trying to sneak in to see Shadow Weaver, only for Glimmer to constantly catch her.
• Since Bright Moon doesn't have a proper dungeon or prison, Queen Angella decides to improvise one with a guest room where she removed the cushions. Well, most of the cushions. Cue everyone (including Shadow Weaver) constantly expressing surprise about it being referred to as a prison, much to Queen Angella's irritation.
  Shadow Weaver: Where—where am I?
  Angella: You're in the Bright Moon Prison.
  Shadow Weaver: (sounding genuinely confused) ...this is a prison?
  Angella: WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP-- Of course this is a prison!
• Why did Light Hope not tell Adora that she was from outer space? Because she didn't know that people couldn't keep memory from when they were babies, and assumed Adora, having been there, remembered it. She is honestly confused when Adora asks her about it.
• When Catra insults Hordak in front of a unit of Horde soldiers, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Lonnie holding her hands over her mouth, as if she's trying not to laugh.

Huntara

• While learning the dangers of the Crimson Wastes, Glimmer accidentally blunders into quicksand and gets sucked under. Adora dives in after her, only for Glimmer to use her powers to teleport back up. When asked where Adora went, Bow simply gestures to the quicksand, causing Glimmer to give an exasperated groan before popping back to rescue Adora.
• Adora is so immediately taken with Huntara that she acts like a smitten puppy. When she hurries after her to ask for guidance, she doesn't notice that Huntara is in deep charming the barmaid; the way Adora pops into frame like a little meerkat makes the barmaid scurry away and Huntara look very annoyed.
• After Entrapta helps Hordak by building him a new exoskeleton for his defective cloned body and gives him a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech, he begrudgingly tries to thank her and return the favor by assuring her she isn't a failure. The fact Imp has to urge him into doing it properly (by kicking his foot and screeching) is funny enough, but then you have to add the fact he manages to make even this sound like a hammy villainous line.
  Hordak: Any who discredit you are utter fools!
• The fact that Entrapta makes him soup is funny enough given that she gives it to him in a tray of shot glasses, but it gets funnier the more you think about the implications. Horde soldiers eat ration bars and nothing else. How did she get the ingredients for soup? How did she prepare it? Does Emily have a built-in stove?
  • Played with further when Imp inspects the soups. Given his reaction, they smell about as good as they look.
• How does Entrapta attempt to give Hordak the soup? By using her Prehensile Hair to assail him from all sides with tiny spoons. This creates the interesting sight of our Evil Overlord Big Bad twisting and contorting his head about like an infant not wanting to eat.

Once Upon a Time in the Waste

• At the end of the Cold Open, Catra delivers an incredibly frustrated groan, which is abruptly cut off by the upbeat, peppy title sequence. When we cut back to the story, she's still groaning.
  Catra: Uuugggggg—
  Theme song: ♪ We're on the edge of greatness ♪
  […]
  Theme song: ♪ We must be strong! ♪
  Catra: —gggghhhh.
• Catra is completely unimpressed with the scare tactics the natives try to use on her, and bursts out laughing every time someone tries to intimidate her.
• Catra insists on referring to the goat-girl she's tormenting as "Kyle."
• Catra mocking the name "Tung Lashor", to the point even Lashor's own minions began to laugh.
  • Special mention to Scorpia asking "What, did you lose a bet?"
• Scorpia casually chatting with Catra about how to use a whip is hilarious, especially since Tung Lashor is just standing there getting more and more annoyed. Special mention goes to Scorpia claiming "It's all in the wrist" and then trying to demonstrate, despite not having wrists.
  Scorpia: Do you even know how to use a whip?
  Catra: If he's using it, how hard can it be?
• Catra being the second person from the Fright Zone to learn what a party is.

Moment of Truth

• Hordak's deadpan insistence to Entrapta that he has never been "In a tizzy".
• Entrapta being less amazed that Catra escaped the Crimson Waste and captured Adora and more impressed that she has a whip.
• When Glimmer and Bow sneak in to reluctantly ask for Shadow Weaver's help, they find her still sitting in her magic cell, reading a book to distract herself and casually saying she expected them to come. There is something hilarious about seeing this usually serious villain relaxing by reading a book. Her cell also has a couch now, and she appears to be quite comfortable. Angella really did only remove most of the cushions.
• There’s also the fact that when they get there and she smugly says she knew Glimmer was coming, Bow asks for clarification and she says he had no idea he’d be there— but Glimmer is smart. It sounds like she really has never spared a single thought for the poor boy.

Remember

• As a congratulations for leading a successful Horde invasion of Thaymor, Adora's squad makes her a cake... by taking a week of Kyle's supply of ration bars. Kyle then drops the cake, starting a brief food-fight in which Kyle gets smacked in the face with a whole bunch of the stuff.
• Just the fact that in a twisted universe where everything seems to be perfect for as many people as possible, Kyle is still getting dumped on.
• Scorpia still has a vague recollection of the real world, causing her to bluntly tell Adora (in this reality one of the Horde's greatest heroes) she doesn't like her for some reason. Possibly the hair puff.
• As Adora's talking to Scorpia, she tries to jab her with her stinger, only to immediately retract it and try to look casual when Adora turns around.
• Adora and Scorpia making peace... kind of.
  Scorpia: I promise I won't hate you. I'll just dislike you a reasonable amount.

The Portal

• Adora quickly blathering out an entirely true, if seemingly insane, summary of the plot so far.
• King Micah orders Adora taken to the "prison". The guards' confused look prompt him to say "the guest room".
• Apparently, in this alternate reality, Entrapta was so isolated she didn't even know how to cook human food, instead preparing random pieces of scrap as food. Which raises the question of what Entrapta eats.
• One of Entrapta's robot "friends" has pink LEDs in its cheeks, which it uses to blush like a lovesick schoolgirl when Bow looks at it.
• As the princesses are celebrating after escaping from the Fright Zone with their mission completed, Perfuma can be seen hugging Shadow Weaver.

Season 4

Coronation

• Everyone getting increasingly frazzled over the party plans, starting with Glimmer being called into the war room to make an important decision: What cake to have.
• One of the cakes for Glimmer's coronation is decorated with toppers of Glimmer and Hordak doing battle. Glimmer appears to have decked Hordak with a right-hook punch.
• Castaspella asks what Glimmer thinks of the flowers. Glimmer says they're fine. Casta says she's right, they're terrible, orders them burned, and fires the flower arranger.
  • Later, Castaspella demands to know where the flower arranger is. Glimmer reminds her she fired him. They hire Mermista, of all people, while Perfuma is right there.
    • A distraught Perfuma proceeds to have an emotional breakdown and spend the rest of the preparations shadowing Mermista, criticizing her every move.
    • Mermista, obviously, floods the gardens, prompting Castaspella to remind her to use vases.
  Mermista: Don't stifle my creativity!
• Frosta decides she's the bouncer and keeps freezing everyone, apparently forgetting that some people are allowed to enter. She also builds ice sculptures of really muscular princesses.
  Frosta: Where do you keep the blankets? Sea Hawk is whining about being frozen!
  Glimmer: Why did you freeze...?
• The squad is surprised to find a giant monster in the Chamber of the Queens. Then Bow remembers that the scroll did in fact mention something about a "guardian" they'd have to subdue...
  Adora: Bow!
  Bow: It was confusingly worded, okay?

The Valley of the Lost

• While trekking through the desert, Perfuma goes on a spiel to Bow about how difficult she finds it to connect with cacti. Bow assumes she's talking about Huntara. Perfuma clarifies that no, she's actually talking about cacti.
  Perfuma: Everybody says you don't have to water them, but you do, and I under-water them, then I over-water them...
• Huntara and Adora try to prove they're the better trackers by tracking the ship, which involves tasting the sand and identifying the machines used to drag it away. Bow points out that they can just follow the blatantly obvious trail from where the ship was dragged across the desert.
• While the squad explores the Valley, we see a back alley deal going down between a frog-person and what appears to be one of Entrapta's robots. The robot gives the frog a bag of gold coins and receives a new arm in return; he then tases the frog and takes his money back.
• When Scorpia sees Double Trouble (in Scorpia's form), she briefly squees at the possibility of a long-lost twin, then gets depressed and says Hordak probably cloned her for some reason.
  Scorpia: I signed a lot of paperwork.

Flutterina

• Hordak inspects a piece of equipment and asks, "Was this your doing, Entrapta?" Imp, clearly aware that Hordak can't stop thinking about her, repeats Entrapta's name over and over again, making Hordak blush.
• Adora's reaction to the refreshments at the moth-people's party.
  Adora: ME CAKE! THERE'S A ME CAKE!
• Adora and Swift Wind manage to take down the Horde's new bots with remarkable ease, only for them to piece themselves back together right away.
  Swift Wind: Oh yeah, they regenerate-
  Adora: WE FORGOT THE BOTS REGENERATE!

Pulse

• Swift Wind keeps trying to dramatically enter the tent asking "Did someone say Swift Wind?", but the flap keeps ruining his entrance. He eventually resorts to cutting it with his horn.
  Swift Wing: (after cutting the flap) Did someone say—
  Glimmer: (exasperated) No one said Swift Wind!
  Swift Wind: But you just did.
• Double-Trouble calling Catra while pretending to be a dying Bow, a grief-stricken Glimmer, and a distraught She-Ra. Catra actually laughs.
• Glimmer is shocked to discover that Shadow Weaver has taken up gardening. Then it turns out that she's been growing plants for use in magic—but Glimmer spots some daisies and asks what they're for.
  Shadow Weaver: Those are daisies. I find them cheerful.
• Spinnerella and Netossa‘s ongoing argument over Netossa’s competitive streak.
  Spinnerella: This is why nobody comes to game night anymore!
  • The topper is at the end when Spinnerella nearly pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to take out the final bot, but is only very briefly knocked out. After coming to, Spinnerella states that she's destroyed 14 bots and is the winner.
• Catra bites Glimmer and complains "Ugh, you even taste like glitter."

Protocol

• When Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio are choosing who should go out and probably die to save the transport, the Horde equivalent of rock-paper-scissors ends in a perpetual string of stalemates.
• Blink and you'll miss it, Kyle clearly loses the first round, but quickly changes his hand before anyone notices.
• The next game is something Kyle came up with. He's clearly making it up as he goes, meaning that he's basically playing Calvinball for his life.
  • And Kyle being Kyle, he somehow manages to lose the game he created as Lonnie incredulously lampshades when Kyle manages to knock himself out while playing.
• Light Hope in general this episode as she is being rebooted is such a contrast to how she normally acts it's a delight to behold.
  • Light Hope, mid-reboot, figures out how to make the giant First One spider robots in a sequence faintly reminiscent of Janet's cactus issue in The Good Place. Especially once she admits that she hasn't uploaded the information on how to remove spiders yet.
  • When Adora transforms into She-Ra Light Hope and one of the spiders give each other a Aside Glance with Light Hope having an excited look on her face.
  • Light Hope presents Adora with a data crystal and instructions on where to insert it to stabilize the collapsing structure. At the end of her instructions, she realizes "I made a data crystal!" with enthusiasm not befitting the dire situation.
  • Light Hope's attempt to help Adora involves simulating the ocean under the logic that "spiders can't swim".
  • Light Hope showing Adora that she has created a bird. Said bird is just a spider with wings.
• After reaching the room where Adora has to insert the crystal she makes a snarky remark to Light Hope. After the AI is left confused over what sarcasm is Adora tells her that is one piece of information she is never going to load.
• When Rogelio tries to give a speech at the end of the episode, most likely about the strength of the trio's friendship, Lonnie and Kyle just stare at him in confusion, unable to understand his animalistic grunting.

Princess Scorpia

• Bow starts mediating between Adora and Glimmer to get them to open up about why they're really upset at each other... while they're still in the middle of a fight against some Horde Mooks.
• Double Trouble deciding to amp things up after Bow manages to get Glimmer and Adora back together.
  • They go over to a pair of soldiers as Flutterina and pretend to be in danger, shrieking at the top of their lungs, much to the confusion of the soldiers. Even funnier, they leap into one of the soldiers' arms and then demand to be put down. The guard immediately drops them, clearly not wanting to piss off She-Ra, forcing Double Trouble to break character and bluntly tell them to play along.
  • When Double Trouble finally gets them to follow their lead, the soldiers' attempts at threatening consists of the most cheesy, overused, villain lines of all time, with incredibly poor delivery. Double Trouble is very clearly annoyed to no end with their bad acting.
  • More darkly humorous, but despite the soldiers' pitiful attempts at acting, the Best Friend Squad still falls for it.
• Scorpia decides that in order to find Entrapta's notes she has to think like Entrapta. This leads to her wandering around Entrapta's lab, hanging (unsuccessfully) from the ceiling, and saying (in a nasally, Entrapta-like voice), "Bots. Hordak. Tiny food. First Ones tech. Runestones." Even better? It works.

Mer-Mysteries

• Mermista taking some levels in Large Ham, including syncing her proclamations up to the Dramatic Thunder.
  Frosta: How are you doing that?
  Mermista: I practice AT HOME! (Dramatic Thunder)
  Glimmer: (Face Palm)
• Mermista's entire strategy is predicated on having read a lot of mystery novels. Even funnier, Perfuma is apparently just getting into them, keeping notes, not on what they've learned, but on which one she should read next.
  Perfuma: SPOILERS!
• Bow's near-delusional insistence that he must be some kind of Manchurian Agent and he needs to be arrested at once for the good of the Rebellion.
• Sea Hawk's flashback sequence is pretty ridiculous, especially with Mermista pointing out the numerous outright falsehoods he put in to make it more dramatic. Afterwards, they end up pushing him out of the door mid-squat.
  • Sea Hawk steadily inflating the number of Horde soldiers he supposedly fought off every time it comes up... even at the end, when he admits that it was a lie.
• The interview montage includes the surfer dude Plumerian who Castaspella fired as a flower arranger, twice, Spinnerella and Netossa (who Word of God confirmed were hauled away from their date night in the process^note additionally, Rae Geiger hid the lesbian pride flag in their bouquet), and the three domestic staff from Dryl (still making tiny scones). Bow actually seems bemused to learn they've been there the entire time!
• When Shadow Weaver is interrogated, she says she was in the garden performing a ritual, combining several herbs in precise quantities... to make tea.
• Adora is convinced Shadow Weaver is the spy, despite the sorceress's insistence that she's innocent.
  Shadow Weaver: In order to catch a rat, you must spring a trap.
  Adora: Well, in order to catch a spy... We need you to admit that YOU'RE the spy!
• When Adora and Glimmer reveal that their fight was staged, with Adora managing to avert her usual Bad "Bad Acting":
  Glimmer: Adora managed to be a really good actress, for once.
  Adora: [deadpan] It was really hard, do not ask me to do that again.

Boys' Night Out

• Mermista deals with her depression by lying in a bathtub for days while she eats all the ice cream in Bright Moon.
• Sea Hawk starts the night out by launching into song. One of the bar patrons has to nudge a sleeping drunk to remind her to play the concertina.
  • Whether intentional or not, said drunk bears a strong resemblance to Undyne, which is funny just for its randomness.
• Sea Hawk's song falls flat as he runs out of rhymes.
  Swift Wind: Ooh, three rhymes, that's tough.
• Admiral Scurvy is pissed off at Sea Hawk because Sea Hawk set three of his boats on fire.
• Adora turning her sword into a mop to clean the bathroom.
  • Later, while she's arguing with Glimmer, a distressed Swift Wind tries to contact her through their sacred bond, confusing her mid-sentence.
    Adora: - and if you'd just listened to us you'd know that, and why can I hear the ocean right now?!
• Sea Hawk's ultimate escape plan is to use his ability to speak seagull. It works.
• Immediately after the Tear Jerker of Glimmer going for a very low blow in her argument with Adora and realising as Adora tears up that she crossed a line, Mermista bursts through the door with a cry of "The boys are in trouble, a seagull told me!"
• In the final battle, Sea Hawk starts singing, only for Mermista to shout "no shanties!" Then she starts her own music.
  Sea Hawk: But I thought you said no shanties?
  Mermista: This is like a rock remix, so it's fine.
• Upon realizing his plan has backfired and that they're actually kidnapped, Sea Hawk asking Swift Wind and Bow why they didn't stop him.
  Swift Wind: Because you didn't tell us. Why didn't you TELL US?!
  Sea Hawk: If I told you, you would have stopped me!
  • Bow then tries to cheer everyone up by reprising the "It's Fun To Be Friends With Friends" song but is immediately shot down.
  Sea Hawk: This is no time for singing!
  Swift Wind: Yeah. Read the room, Bow!
• Octavia tries to gloat and intimidate them, but Bow is so depressed already that it backfires on her.

Hero

• Swift Wind mentions that he visits Razz all the time, because he thinks leaving an old woman alone in a magical forest is a bad idea. The best part is the casual shade he throws at Adora, as if he's saying "I thought you were doing this too, because you care..."

Fractures

• During the Princess Alliance's debate on whether they should consult with Light Hope to use magic from the Heart of Etheria, Frosta almost drops herself to sleep. She suggested to continue the debate in the morning, not that it's past her bedtime because she can go to bed whenever she wants.
• Swift Wind is frustrated that he doesn't get a chair to sit on but the new person does. The new person is actually Scorpia, and she's sitting on Emily. Cue Mass "Oh, Crap!" from everyone in the room, even Frosta who rubs her eyes as if she thinks of her as a hallucination.
  • Just the fact that the guards completely failed to notice a scorpion princess and a large spherical robot sneaking through Bright Moon and making it into the war room undetected.
  • Scorpia implies that she's already been there a few minutes by that point, but she didn't want to interrupt the tense conversation, so she decided to wait.
  • For bonus points, when they attack her immediately afterwards, Frosta specifically calls her out for ruining Princess Prom.
• Frosta takes Scorpia to her cell—which is incredibly luxurious. After conceding that it's just the only available room, Frosta reminds Scorpia that she is still a prisoner, and this isn't a sleep over. Then Perfuma comes in with snacks and more pillows.
  • Note that there are actually plenty of pillows already within Scorpia's room. They clearly didn't have time to remove the cushions.
• Perfuma gives Scorpia a salad. Scorpia has no idea why this "food" is green and not bar-shaped.
  Perfuma: ...You've never seen vegetables before? Okay, you should definitely be eating those.
  • When Scorpia took one bite of the salad, she immediately became disgusted by it.
• When Frosta woke up to see Adora and Bow attempting to sneak out of Bright Moon, the latter attempts to say that she's just dreaming, and Swift Wind plays along with Adora giving out the impression that she knew Frosta will not be fooled by any of this.
• Swift Wind lamenting that loop-the-loops have betrayed him during the flight in Mara's ship.

Beast Island

• The critical evidence that confirms Micah has encountered Entrapta: she stole some of his food... but only the small items.
• It takes Micah a few minutes to notice that Swift Wind is a talking horse, and he has wings. He assumes that horses talk now, and no one bothers to correct him.
  Swift Wind: Well, this is definitely Glimmer's dad.
• Swift Wind tells Micah that horses are allowed into the council chamber, they definitely get their own chairs, and they get all the sugar cubes they want.

Destiny, Part 1

• Bow's dramatic speech about friendship almost works to snap Entrapta out of her Signal-induced depression, but is completely overshadowed by Adora offering to let her take a look at Mara's ship.
• Hordak, before he learns the truth from Double Trouble, posing with his arm cannon. He's just that into the prospect of showing off his new toy, basically. Even funnier, he accidentally points at Double Trouble disguised as She-Ra, who, of course, makes a melodramatic gesture at that.
• Shadow Weaver is found just chilling on the throne of Bright Moon. Glimmer has been gone all of five minutes at that point, and Shadow Weaver has already taken it as read that she's in charge while Glimmer's gone.

Destiny, Part 2

• Immediately after the badass display of Scorpia striding in, eyes glowing with power, and hurling lightning at one of Catra's minions from the Crimson Wastes, she powers down a bit and apologises, proving once and for all that even with the power of the Black Garnet at her clawtips, Scorpia is still Scorpia.

Season 5

Horde Prime

• Shadow Weaver says they should use the Heart of Etheria. Everyone else just groans, making it clear she's been suggesting it a lot.
  Mermista: Ok, so we're not doing that because A: Without Glimmer and more importantly without She-Ra, the Heart of Etheria won't work. And B: when it did work it nearly destroyed everyone. So, no thanks.
  Frosta: Oh and also C: We don't like you and we don't want your help!
  Perfuma: Also D: Are you still our prisoner? Can-Can we get a run down of who is and who is not our prisoner?
• Scorpia is loving being with the Rebellion, and quickly bonds with Swift Wind.
  Swift Wind: Word of warning, I do occasionally sing.
  Scorpia: [gasps] I love singing! Catra always said it was annoying.
• With the Sword of Protection broken, Adora has gone back to using a telescoping quarter-staff. When Horde reinforcements arrive, Adora briefly forgets it's just a staff.
  Adora: FOR THE HONER OF - Ohhhhhhh...
• Adora attacks some clones, only to wake up being carried by Scorpia. Scorpia cringes and says she stung Adora, and she's very sorry, but she'd definitely do it again.
• The team captures one of the clones in an effort learn where Glimmer is being held. While they learn Glimmer is on the Horde flagship, the clone won't stop babbling about how awesome Horde Prime is, to the point that Scorpia just pinches his lips shut.
  Swift Wind: Did Hordak talk this much?
  Scorpia: No, he mostly just growled and yelled "Get out!" a lot.
• Entrapta keeps getting distracted by Horde Prime's tech, to the point that Micah just picks her up and runs.
  • While doing this a bot nearly gets the drop on Micah, but Shadow Weaver destroys it first. Micah momentarilly looks at her with shock and maybe even gratitude, then his face turns angry and he just runs off with Entrapta. Shadow Weaver just says a sarcastic, "You're welcome."

Launch

• Bow is trying to get the exhausted Adora to sleep, only for people to keep noisily bursting into her tent. Frosta even wonders if she's dead.
  Adora: [flat on the ground] My body is betraying me.
  Bow: No, you're exhausted. That's what happens to regular people who keep throwing themselves into battle without any sleep.
  Adora: I hate it...
  Bow: You just need to rest. Now, close your eyes...
  Frosta: [bursting in] IS SHE DEAD?
• With Adora out of commission, Mermista is at a loss to come up with a plan to locate and rescue Glimmer. Perfuma assures her that they'll figure out a plan using the Adora and Bow figures. Of all the things to take when evacuating Bright Moon, Perfuma considered those to be important.
• Frosta's plan to fight off the Horde. Three words: punch Horde Prime. Mermista and Perfuma are visibly amused.
• Scorpia impersonating Entrapta again:
  Scorpia: Look, I know that she can be kind of ["Entrapta voice"] "WHOA! SCIENCE! [explosion noise] AH-HA-HA-HA!" But I promise, Entrapta has a good heart.
• It takes the other princesses several minutes to remind Entrapta of who Glimmer is.
  Mermista: THE SPARKLY ONE!
  Frosta: You've met her multiple times!
• While the princesses are infiltrating the tower, Perfuma has a leash on Entrapta. Predictably, it doesn't work.
• Just... Entrapta flirting with the robot.
  Entrapta: Hello! You're very... technologically advanced.
  Horde Robot: (finishes scanning Entrapta and raises Arm Cannon)
  Entrapta: AAAH! Bad robot!
• Mermista is having a lot of trouble in the fight until she realizes that there is a water source she can use: the Fright Zone's sewers.
  Scorpia: Oh. Wow. That smells... [tries not to puke]
  Frosta: [excited] THAT WAS SO GROSS!
• "Hooray! I reinstate my 'Hooray!'"

Corridors

• Entrapta keeps trying to "upgrade" the ship while they're inside it. Bow screams.
• Adora promises not to touch anything while Bow looks for Entrapta. He returns to find her taped against the wall.
  Adora: I have everything under control.
• Bow wonders where Entrapta disappeared to, and Adora comments she came in a while ago looking for a rope and a blowtorch. Adora shortly after sees her out the window, with a homemade spacesuit and tether.
  Adora: Oh, so that's what the rope was for.^note And then Entraptra uses the blowtorch as a jet booster.
  • The face Adora makes when she recalls that Entrapta was asking for a blowtorch.
  • The best part is that Entrapta floats past behind Bow while he is ranting, and it takes him a few seconds to notice. While Adora is staring at her completely stunned.
• Entrapta having an absolute blast in space.
  Entrapta: I made us all space-suits and then fixed the ship from space! Where I am!
• Adora's reaction as her and Entrapta's antics drive Bow Laughing Mad:
  Adora: [disturbed chuckle] Is this a good laugh or the bad laugh? [beat as Bow continues laughing] Well, the longer it goes on, the more I think it's a bad laugh.
• The mere fact Entrapta not only added heart symbol's on Bow's spacesuit, she somehow kept his midriff exposed.

Stranded

• Scorpia tells Swift Wind she's great at keeping secrets, and almost tells him about Kyle's secret crush on Rogelio to prove it.
• Swift Wind misses Adora and tries to connect to her by telling her how things are going on Etheria and how the princesses are taking care of the people trying to collect the bounty on her head and destroying Prime's bots. This includes detailed descriptions of the fights, complete with sound effects for their powers. When he gets to Perfuma, he describes them as "plant noises".
  • His impression of Shadow Weaver is also top notch.
    Swift Wind!Shadow Weaver: But magic, magic, magic, power, power, power, blah, blah, blah.
    Swift Wind!Micah: No, bad Shadow Weaver, bad!
  • Another one is his Mermista impression, both when Shadow Weaver brings up using the Heart again, and when Sea Hawk tries to do 'morale boosting' activities.
    Swift Wind!Mermista: *at Swift Wind!Shadow Weaver* Ugh, why are you still here???
    Swift Wind!Mermista: *about Swift Wind!Sea Hawk* Ugh, make it stop...
• Entrapta tells the others that "Darla" (the ship) is out of fuel.
  Entrapta: It must have been so painful for her...
  Darla: I do not feel pain.
  Entrapta: [suddenly cheerful] Okay, good luck finding the crystals! Darla and I are going to spend some quality time together... [produces a variety of tools and wiggles her eyebrows]
• When Adora falls down a pit, all three of them are pretty blasé about it.
  Adora: I think I see a light. [cheerful] I'm gonna go towards it!
  Bow: [panicked] DON'T GO TOWARDS THE LIGHT!
  Adora: [annoyed] It's not that kind of light.
• During the fight with the Star Siblings, Adora quickly realizes they're not enemies, but the Siblings take more convincing which just leads to Adora spending most of the fight asking in an annoyed voice if they would please stop hitting her.
• Tallstar tells Adora that Prime is undefeatable, and that if she's smart she'll be running far, far away.
  Adora: Well, I'm not! [Beat] Running away, that is. I am smart. [The Star Siblings glance at each other] Never mind.

Save the Cat

• While the episode itself is possibly one of the darkest in the series, the title is pretty humorous.
  • According to Word of God, it was a placeholder title that just never got changed.
• Glimmer's alarmed reaction when she learns that they could have been killed by hitching a ride outside Mara's ship.
  Entrapta: Spacesuit testing officially a success. All suits stood up to ships velocity with zero loss of life.
  Glimmer: Wait, what!? That was a possibility?
• Entrapta wondering where the vents are on the Velvet Glove, asking how anyone gets around on it as if using air vents is a perfectly normal way to travel that most people use.
• Bow took a page out of Sea Hawk's book on how to sneak into hostile territory, because he claims he and Entrapta are merely inspectors making rounds. Prime's clones don't buy it.
• Entrapta insists they have to take Wrong Hordak with them, because they broke him and he's now their responsibility. Plus, he can open doors.
  • Before that, once it becomes clear Wrong Hordak is not the man Entrapta knew, she happily says they can cross him off the list. Bow wasn't aware there was a list.
• Glimmer saves Bow from a clone, claiming she always hated that one specifically. Just like she hated all the ones on the way there.
  • When one of the clones tries to grab her leg, she takes a spear from Bow and uses it to repeatedly whack him.

Taking Control

• Spinnerella blatantly cheats to let Frosta win their game of ice ball, to Netossa's annoyance.
  Netossa: Aren't you supposed to be on my team?
• Micah's awkward attempts to relate to Frosta, which she constantly rebuffs because he's treating her like a kid despite having her own kingdom.
  Micah: [aghast] Do kids not like cake now?
• When Glimmer offers to make a celebratory meal after rescuing Catra, Bow looks at her with a sceptical look, since he's never seen her cook before. She then ropes Wrong Hordak into it, who is happy to provide nourishment for his "brothers".
• Glimmer asking Adora if space food goes bad, since she thinks that the rations on the ship are Mara's, which would be 1000 or so years old by now. Adora then reads the label as "dehydrated protein slaw" and tries, and fails, to sound enthusiastic.
• Wrong Hordak mentions that Horde clones subsist on a diet of nutrient-rich amniotic fluid. Later, duing the conversation over Glimmer's dumpling dinner, he can be heard saying, "I put amniotic fluid in there. ...That was a joke."
• The First Ones script on the apron that Glimmer throws on Wrong Hordak translates to "kiss the cook".
• Entrapta wants to go into the asteroid field because she thinks it would be really cool. And it would help them evade Horde Prime's ships and stuff.
• Swift Wind is excited that Elberon is under attack, because they throw the best victory parties.
• Glimmer has a Hell Yes moment while watching She-Ra pummel the Horde drones, while Bow can't see what's going on and is just confused.
• It takes Entrapta a few moments to remember why Catra might expect her to be mad.
  Entrapta: Me? Why would I wanna hurt you? ...Oooh, you mean because you sent me to Beast Island, stole my work, and used it to rip a hole in the fabric of space and time? I get it ...Hold still! [produces a bunch of surgical tools]

Perils of Peekablue

• Adora attempting to summon the Sword of Protection, only for Glimmer and Bow to pop up and distract her.
• Followed immediately by Catra jumping at the prospect of messing with Adora. Literally. She plops down on Adora's lap and makes herself at home, purring and teasing her with her tail.
  Adora: Catra, do you have to sit right there?
  Catra: (smirking) What? I'm not doing anything.
  • It goes to show that even after making a Heel–Face Turn, Catra still enjoys getting under Adora's skin as much as ever.
• Perfuma once invited Peekablue to her drum circle, but he didn't RSVP so she could know how many drums she'd need, and she's still rather salty about it.
• Sea Hawk and Mermista have to tie up several people who don't like Sea Hawk.
  Mermista: I thought you said these were "your people."
  Sea Hawk: They are my people. Which means most of them have sworn revenge against me at some point.
• While Perfuma is giving Scorpia a pep talk, Mermista and Sea Hawk are busy knocking out Scurvy and dragging him away.
• Mermista, despite her disdain for Sea Hawk's antics, once set someone else's ship on fire to see what it was like. Sea Hawk has obviously never been in love with her more than he is in that moment.
• After the team reiterates that their main goal is to find Prince Peekablue, the emcee introduces the party's host: Prince Peekablue. Scorpia notes that she has to double check the definition of "hermit."
• Scorpia's song number, during which she sings about being a spy. During an undercover mission.
  Scorpia: [singing] I've always been strong, but now my nerves are gone 'cause I know I can do it: sing, dance, be a spy!
  Mermista: [facepalm]
  Sea Hawk: [boogieing]
• Apparently Double Trouble shapeshifted into a Horde clone for a while until they got bored with it. Why? Because nobody around could appreciate their acting. What clinches the joke is the shot running down a line of clones before stopping to the Double!clone making a really bored face.
  • They call Catra their "cash-kitten".
• Double Trouble wants to make a dramatic speech as they help the gang flee the scene, but can't move due to Scorpia's sting. They ask Sea Hawk to raise their arm to the heavens instead, and continue with the same dramatic flare.
  • Before that, Scorpia and Perfuma have to fight against a chipped Mermista at the risk of destroying the place. Double Trouble is NOT amused, and it's especially noteworthy since they usually are more composed.
    Double Trouble: We are in a delicate underwater bubble, SO CAN YOU PLEASE STOP HITTING ONE ANOTHER?!
• Double Trouble calling Sea Hawk "Hot Stuff".
  • In the Brazilian dub, they call him "Babe".
  • In the Italian dub, "Sex Bomb".

Shot in the Dark

• After finally joining the good guys, Catra isn't very impressed.
  Catra: So your plan is to what, ram through an armada of ships?
  Adora: No! [pause, then in the exact same defensive tone] Maybe!
  • Catra proceeds to spend the episode wondering just how the Rebellion managed to last as long as it did.
• Glimmer bemoans that she can't use her magic to teleport the ship past the blockade.
  Glimmer: Why does space hate me so much?!
• Wrong Hordak's attempts to lie about Horde Prime's weakness. "Attempts" being the key word here.
• When Entrapta finds a loose wire for some sort of console, she pulls Wrong Hordak over, forces him to kneel in front of it, and casually jams the cord into his neck socket to see if he can access any information.
• Catra getting her helmet stuck and struggling to get it off.
• Bow and Glimmer's confused reaction to Catra and Adora flirting.
• Catra cuts through a door with her claws. Adora blushes.
• Catra lampshading that Bow has a magnifying glass Trick Arrow.
  Catra: I can't believe we were losing to you guys.
• While on Krytis, Bow and Glimmer keep finding Catra cute, and enjoy embarrassing her about it any chance they get.
  Bow: I can't believe the whole time you were trying to kill us you had the cutest sneeze of all time.
  Catra: I AM NOT CUTE! (tail puffs up)
  Bow: The angrier you get the cuter you are.
• As Entrapta and Wrong Hordak access more data from the planet, Wrong Hordak has a Heroic BSoD as he realizes that Horde Prime has lied to them about this planet, he suffered defeat on this planet, and he is not as eternal and all-powerful as he claims. He is soon reduced to openly weeping as he struggles to cope with these revelations. His breakdown quickly goes from sad to funny.
  Entrapta: [as Wrong Hordak cries over their radios] Sorry! Seems Wrong Hordak has begun to question the meaning of life.
  Wrong Hordak: [getting increasingly incomprehensible as he continues to cry] Who am I if not an exalted brother of Prime? [continues to cry in the background as Entrapta and Adora talk]
  • Everyone's expressions during the conversation are equally funny. Catra has an expression that screams "kill me now'', Glimmer just smiles as one of her eyes twitch and Bow... well it looks like he feels bad for the guy but at the same time, is exasperated by the crying in the background.
  • By the end of the episode, it results in this.
    Entrapta: I am happy to report that Wrong Hordak's existential crisis has resolved.
    Wrong Hordak: [speechifying while making grand arm gestures] Brothers, Horde Prime lied to us! He is a false ruler! We must rise up against him and free the universe from his unjust reign!
    Adora: That's the plan.
• Catra manages to connect to Melog, a magic space cat who tunes in to her emotions, and does her best to keep calm to prevent it from attacking Adora, Bow and Glimmer. Whose teasing doesn't make it any easier.
  Catra: I'm sorry. I got angry. It's something I'm working on.
  Adora: [starry eyed] Awww. You are?
  Catra: [angrily] YES! NOW CAN YOU PLEASE-! [deep breath] Yes, I am.
• Once Mara's ship manages to successfully sneak past Horde Prime's blockade, Catra opens her eyes only to find out that she was so nervous she instinctively grabbed Adora's hand. The groan/yell she lets out is hilarious.
  • Immediately followed by Glimmer planting a kiss on Catra's cheek, then followed by Bow pulling both girls into a group hug that Glimmer eagerly joins as Catra is struggling to escape. One gets the feeling that Catra would gladly take Scorpia's antics over Bow and Glimmer any day of the week.

An Ill Wind

• When Catra points out they can't be sure if the Princesses are chipped or not, Glimmer sarcastically expresses shock at Catra distrusting the princesses. Entrapta thinks she's serious, remarking that it's actually quite in character for Catra.
• When Adora, Glimmer, Bow, and Catra go undercover in the Horde-controlled village:
  Catra: A town that hates princesses? Should I buy property here? [remembers which side she's on now] ... is what I would have said before I joined you. [Beat] Go team.
  • The face she makes as she says it is hilarious, because she's obviously waiting for the others to laugh.
• Wrong Hordak's enthusiasm when he learns how to wink, thereafter copying Bow's charming gestures.
  • Adora is repeatedly freaked out by all the winks.
• Upon realizing their friends have been chipped, Adora asks hopelessly how they can fight their own friends.
  Catra: [annoyed] It's never stopped you before.
• Netossa trapping Catra with a net before she learns that they're on the same side now. Then when she dismisses the net, Catra falls to the ground.
• Both Bow and Glimmer get weirdly passionate about defending the Rebellion's intentions for kids that are just, as they say, "browsing".
  Bow: Well, I'm just a completely objective third-party observer... [slams hand on the counter] But Erelandia should join the Rebellion and fight back!
  Adora: Oh, yeah. That's nice.
  Glimmer: Well... [tosses cloak away] There are still some princesses fighting for Etheria!
  Adora: [rubbing her forehead] Okay, well, there she is.
• When Glimmer teleports the falling shopkeeper to safety in the woods outside of town, she keeps screaming for a couple seconds before she realizes that she's not falling anymore.
• It turns out that the Rebellion's been hiding in the cave that Catra and Glimmer fought in way back in "Pulse". When Glimmer reacts to this, Netossa asks if they've been there before, causing the two of them to look at each other and then awkwardly look away again.
• How does Perfuma greet her friends upon their reunion? By trapping them in vines and screaming at them to "SHOW US YOUR NECKS!"
  • Once they've established that nobody has been chipped, Perfuma throws herself at Bow crying her eyes out. Netossa is trying (and failing) to pry Perfuma off Bow.
    Bow: All right, let- let it all out-
    Perfuma: I DON'T WANNA BE IN CHARGE ANYMOOORE!
• Once the remaining members of the Rebellion meet again, Adora gently coaxes Catra to come closer so she can introduce her to everyone. Cue Frosta coming out of nowhere to deck her with an ice fist.
  • After Adora says that Catra is with the Rebellion now, Frosta stands down, but declares that she doesn't like Catra's face.

Return to the Fright Zone

• Just the fact that Netossa is such a Competition Freak that she's kept detailed records of the weaknesses of all the princesses, Bow, and Catra.
  • Netossa (Spinnerella's wife) describes Spinnerella's weakness as "obvious".
    Adora: Uh huh, uh huh, real obvious hm. And, um, [clears throat] what is it exactly?
    Netossa: [Sighs in frustration.] Everyone knows she twisted her ankle when she was a kid!
    • From the looks that the others at the table are giving, it seems that Netossa was the only one there who knew about that.
    • Netossa vows to save Spinnerella, but then says that she'll be bringing it up every time Spinnerella says it's Netossa's turn to clean. She even has drawings of Spinnerella with a duster and a maid outfit, with notes on how cute she finds the look!
  • Relatedly, Catra's weakness turns out to be a spritz-bottle of water. Just like a real cat. Meanwhile, Melog just nopes and hides behind a pillar.
    • And which Princess does Catra encounter in the Fright Zone? Mermista. Catra even lampshades it.
      Catra: Why'd I get the water princess!?
  • Entrapta's weakness? Distracting her with new tech, which she demonstrates by throwing a piece of tech that Entrapta promptly chases.
  • Adora's weakness turns out to be her Bad "Bad Acting" and "extreme hair-envy with She-Ra" (Adora self-consciously touches her hair-poof).
  • Mermista, Frosta, and Perfuma's weaknesses all turn out to be fire. Netossa also points out Perfuma's unwillingness to unleash her full power for fear of hurting her friends. This is accompanied by a crude drawing of Perfuma having impaled someone with a vine.
  • When talking about Glimmer's weakness, she states that it's her "crippling self-doubt mixed with overwhelming hubris".
    Glimmer: Woah, woah, woah, that's like, really personal compared to fire.
  • Bow's weakness is... well, he's defenseless if he can't shoot arrows; Netossa very bluntly shows by cutting his bow string, much to his horror. She does make sure to re-materialize the bow string, however.
    Bow: You've spent a lot of time thinking about this, huh?!
• Catra describing her and Hordak's fight prior to them being taken by Horde Prime as a "small disagreement".
• Perfuma is convinced that if they just meet up with her Scorpia's kindness will return her to normal when she sees her friends, when Scorpia attacks them she deflects saying it's because she doesn't recognize them, then when she sends Catra flying a mile away.
  Netossa: Pretty sure she knows it's us.
  Perfuma: Yeah, well... it's Catra. Can you really blame her?
• Catra, once it becomes apparent that going to the Fright Zone was a trap, restates her disbelief in the Rebellion's strategic abilities.
  Catra: Urgh, your plans are just the worst.
• When Catra lands Melog says something to her, judging by Catra's reaction Melog was being less than sympathetic.
• Perfuma talking to She-Ra like a dog owner to a misbehaving puppy.
  Perfuma: She-Ra, drop it. Drop. It. We DON'T throw tanks at our friends!
  • Followed by Adora whining that Scorpia gets to throw tanks at them.
• Bow's dads leave a clue pointing him to their hiding place at their house... in the form of a dad joke. He and Glimmer are not impressed. The joke? "What did the First One say when they burned dinner? ... It was ruined."
  Bow: (resigned, suffering tone) I know where they are.
  • Then Bow's dads make a pun about the clue being a pun.
• George and Lance playfully arguing over who gets to tell Glimmer and Bow about the information that they discovered.

Failsafe

• As Castaspella and Shadow Weaver say that Arxia may be modern Mystacor, Castaspella giddily asks to be the one to tell the Rebellion. In a dramatic fashion, Castaspella explains that Mystacor is riddled with underground tunnels built by the First Ones, before Shadow Weaver gets impatient and tells the others that what they're looking for is the Crystal of Arxia.
  Castaspella: (offended) You said I could do it!
  Shadow Weaver: (exasperated) You were taking too long!
• Entrapta's plan to crack Horde Prime's signal pattern means that she needs to head somewhere with a high concentration of clones. Swift Wind quickly realizes that there's no way he can stop her and essentially volunteers himself to babysit her so she won't get captured.
  • She also calls him a "bird horse", and Swift Wind starts to correct her before just giving up and taking off.
• To save Adora, Catra jumps into a field of fire that turns out to just be an illusion. Adora wastes no time teasing her about it.
• Mind controlled Micah gets a creepy smile and says he is happy to see his daughter Glimmer, his sister Castaspella... and then admits he could do without Shadow Weaver.

Heart, Part 1

• Bow's guitar playing annoys Swift Wind, but Glimmer defends Bow, who admits that he's still learning.
• Sea Hawk gets through to Mermista by being so annoying that she has to break her programming just to say so.
• The scene of Catra tearfully telling Melog her feelings for Adora are unrequited, followed almost immediately by a scene of Adora in the Crystal Castle pining for Catra to the point of chasing holograms of her. While overall sad, its pretty funny just how completely wrong Catra is.

Heart, Part 2

• The symbol Entrapta's device makes when it disrupts the chips Horde Prime is using to control everyone.
• Scorpia immediately starts apologizing when she breaks free, wondering if she hurt Bow.
• While Bow is giving his speech to Etheria, we see a shot of Rogelio carrying Imp in a baby sling, with Imp having a very annoyed expression on its face. Even more amusing is the animation error in this shot where one of Rogelio's eyes is backwards, making him look very silly.
• As the people of Etheria fight back against Horde Prime's forces, we are treated to a shot of the villagers of Elberon chasing a crowd of clones around like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon.
• There's something just so hilariously sweet about Catra and Adora not realizing their feelings. Catra was out there thinking Adora didn't want her, while in Adora's perfect future they're already married, but she never recognized Catra's feelings. Talk about being Oblivious to Love.
• While a bit more on the tragic side, Shadow Weaver's last words to her adoptive daughters sums up her character pretty well.
  Shadow Weaver: You're welcome.
• Mermista sums up what everyone thought about Hordak being accepted and being dragged around by Entrapta in her usual fashion.
  Mermista: So are we just, like, okay with this?
• Scorpia’s forgiveness of Catra being one of her bone crushing hugs.
  Catra: Oh, there it is...

Shorts:

Swift Wind Adventures

Unicorn Warrior Training!

• Not even Perfuma can put up with Swift Wind for long.
  Swift Wind: Did somebody say... SWIFT WIND? [lands and poses dramatically]
  Perfuma: Oh no.
• "TRAINING MONTAGE!"
  • The soldiers try to horse-kick like Swift Wind, with little success.
  • After he creates a wind with his wings, they try to flap their arms to imitate him, but nothing happens.
  • They eventually attach horns to their foreheads and start sword-fighting with them. Swift Wind tells them that if things get really bad, they can just use their horns to call She-Ra. Except their horns aren't real, so that doesn't work.
• When a Horde soldier shows up, the people are somehow able to use Swift Wind's training to defeat him.

Arm Wrestling Revenge!

• Swift Wind trying to arm wrestle, forgetting that his limbs are not suitable for that. After trying and failing to get one of his front legs into position, he tries turning around and slamming his rump onto the table to use his back legs, sending the table off-kilter.
  Swift Wind: Okay, I think we can all agree that this is not going to work.

A Princess Birthday Party!

Grounded Glimmer Jailbreak!

• Swift Wind's utter failures at being stealthy.
• When the guards come around, Adora tries to hide Swift Wind by putting a potted plant in front of him. Later when they come around again, Adora and Swift Wind try to hide by covering their eyes and hiding their faces. Both times, the guards just look at each other, shrug, and go on their way.
• When Adora manages to get Swift Wind unstuck from the window, they plummet down the side of the tower screaming before Swift Wind remembers: "Oh wait I can fly!"

Horse Hero Transformation!

Princess Rebel Recruitment

Bow Begins the Fight

• While showing off his goo arrow, Bow shoots goo all over himself, leaving his eyes and mouth as the only visible parts of his face. Adora cackles from off-camera.
  Bow: And I'm going to edit this last part out.
  Adora: No no no, I am definitely making sure Glimmer sees this.
  Bow: What? No way. [reaches for the camera] Gimme that!

Glimmer Wants YOU to Join

• Adora's awkwardness on camera.
  Glimmer: [making an introductory gesture] She-Ra! [no one shows up]
  [cut to She-Ra standing next to Glimmer; Glimmer elbows her]
  She-Ra: Oh, right. [clears throat] Join the rebellion! [beat] Wait, no, I'm supposed to say that last.
• Angella walks in while they're filming; Glimmer protests, and Adora greets her with "Join the rebellion!"
• Glimmer protests that she does not "growl and groan", followed by a montage of her doing that.

From Adora to She-Ra

• The ending with Adora showing off her sword's transformation abilities. She turns it into a staff, gives it a spin, and knocks down the recording device.
  Bow: My tracker pad!
  Glimmer: [muttering] Ugh, gotta get a better stand for that thing.
  Adora: Ooh! I think I can turn my sword into that.
  Bow: No no no no!

Meditation with Perfuma

• The video is interrupted by Adora running by, pursued by Frosta, whose snowball hits Perfuma in the head.
• Perfuma declares that because of her meditation, she is calm and at peace all day long. This is followed by clips of Perfuma being stressed and Perfuma attacking Horde soldiers while laughing in delight.

Mermista is the Coolest

• Adora stiffly reading lines in the beginning, and Mermista pushing Adora's hand away as Adora gestures at her.
• As Mermista narrates that she makes every mission look good, the montage changes to a clip of Mermista in the sewers, getting water dumped on her.
  Mermista: Every. Mission. No matter. What.
• Mermista's descriptions of the other princesses:
  Mermista: The flower one, that small cold girl, the glittery one that yells, Spinnerella and Netossa, who do... something.

Entrapta Stole Bow's Tracker Pad

• Entrapta asks Scorpia to pull a switch to help her with an experiment.
  Entrapta: Quick question. On a scale of one to zaaaap, how high is your electrical conductivity?
  Scorpia: [taking her claw off the switch] Uh?
  Entrapta: Eh, you'll be fine.
• Scorpia pulls the switch... and the room plunges into a blackout.
  Catra: [off-screen] Entrapta?! What did you do?!

The Evil Horde is EVIL

• Scorpia brought Bow's tracker pad to the fight. Catra tells her to drop it and attack.
  Bow: Do not drop that—! [the camera drops and Bow screams]

Books:

Island of Magical Creatures

• The only reason the story happens at all is that Swift Wind can speak hedgehog. This is never explained.

Other:

Advertising

• After season one the netflix account did an #AskCatraevent, pretty much every conversation is a chance of hilarity.
  @MegaNerd98: What, if anything, would convince you to leave the Horde and join the Rebellion?
  Catra: ADORA I KNOW THIS IS YOU
  
  @MegaNerd98: Do you have a pre-battle ritual and if so, what is it?
  Catra: I look at pictures of Adora to fill me with hate.
