Funny / Step by Step

• At the end of "YoYo's Wedding", Carol throws the bouquet and his sister tries to grab it but another woman grabs it. She cries into her mother's arms.
• In "One Truck, al Dente", Frank and Carol are in a baby care class, trying to learn how to take care of a baby since they're expecting. Frank had his baby doll underwater for too long, and he gets the water out of it by squeezing it. The water squirts at Carol and the instructor.
  Frank: That was wrong, wasn't it?
  Carol: Frank, you're supposed to save the baby, not juice it!
  Instructor: Don't be too hard on him. A lot of men are nervous about their first baby.
  Frank: Actually, it's not my first baby, it's my fourth.
  Instructor: Oh, any survivors?
  • Later he tries to learn to do the baby heimlich. He "firmly" tab between the doll's shoulders, which causes the head to pop off and flung to another couple's baby tub.
  • Frank accidentally left the doll on top of the car as they're driving home.
    Frank: I want you to know that when you leave the baby with me, it's 100% safe.
  • "You know, they want you to buy American, and they sell you a pile of junk." *throws the rag on the floor* "Unbelievable!"

    • The look on JT's face when Frank said that.
• A lot of things Cody says and does.
• A miscommunication results in Frank being inside a derelict building as it's being demolished. He ends up riding the wrecking ball as it gets waved around.
• In "Your Cheatin' Heart", the b-plot is Frank and Carol getting frustrated (especially Frank, obviously) at not having any alone time together thanks to numerous interruptions by the kids. By the time they do get a chance, they both get sick and are hilariously unable to follow through and end up passing out.
• In the episode "Snow Bunnies", Carol starts reading a horror novel called Die Mommy Die. In the final scene of the episode, Carol is reading and gets up to close the windows in the room. She goes downstairs and finds Mark sitting on the couch.
  Carol: Mark, what are you still doing up? It's almost midnight.
  Mark: [with red eyes] Hi, Mom. I couldn't sleep. So I came down here to get a bite.
  • Carol runs into the kitchen in horror and tells Dana that something is wrong with Mark. Dana also has red eyes. Carol tells Brendan that they have to leave before it's too late.
    Brendan: [with red eyes] Oh, good, Carol's here. Now we can...eat.
• Karen blocks Carol as she tries to run upstairs.
  Karen: [with red eyes and dressed like the bride of Frankenstein] Is it dinnertime? I love dinnertime. Mom makes a great dinner.
  Carol: Not my baby!
  Cody: Can't wait to eat. I hear we're having my favorite food - ladyfingers!
• Carol finds Frank and is relieved.
  Carol: Oh, Frank, thank goodness you're not one of them.
  Frank: There, there. It's all right. [Frank's eyes are revealed to have turned red] You're in good hands now.
  Carol: Ahhhhhhh!
  Frank: Who's ready for barbecue?!
• As everyone closes in on Carol:
  Everyone: Diinner! Diinner!
  Carol: No, please! I don't want to be eaten. If you're all hungry, I'LL MAKE SPAGHETTI! NOOO!
  [she wakes up pulling Frank's hair]
