Funny / The Ghost and Molly McGee

Season 1

The Curse

• Scratch's first scene in the series. He is summoned by the Ghost Council as he's eating pizza out of a garbage can, and it takes him a moment to realize he's in front of his bosses.
• Driving through Brighton for the very first time, Molly sees a guy sitting on a bus stop bench, and they exchange friendly waves. The bench then collapses, the signpost hits him over the head, and his unconscious body is carried off by a horde of raccoons. All in less than four seconds.
• Molly's first "ghost hug" is so tight, it breaks Scratch up into pieces, and she has to Mr. Potato Head him back together.
• It's surprisingly easy for Molly to convince the rest of the McGees not to freak out and run away from Scratch. Her father Pete is more concerned about the politically-correct terminology for a ghost, her mom Sharon is preoccupied with getting a discount from the realtor because they didn't disclose that the house was haunted, and her younger brother Darryl is naturally fascinated by Scratch's ectoplasmic body.

First Day Frights

• The increasingly contorted looks of seething rage Andrea gives Molly as she stumbles over how to pronounce her name. By the end of it, she's grinding her teeth so hard you're surprised they don't crack.
• At the very end of the musical montage, Molly gets hit in the face with a locker door and crumples to the ground, while Andrea just steps over her. Scratch, coming up through the floor, sees the poor girl's prone body... and goes through her pockets to steal her lunch money.
  "I'm gettin' a soda."
• Scratch is stunned Molly was able to work herself up into a full motivational speech in a dingy bathroom. Molly replies that she did at it a funeral once.
• After Scratch accidentally scares Andrea into fainting, Molly asks for help getting her into a janitor's cart.
  Scratch: Ah! Disposing of the body, great plan!
• There's a Running Gag of Molly's homeroom teacher just turning around and walking away when she sees Molly messing around with Andrea's unconscious body.
• Scratch possessing Andrea and maneuvering her around the stage like a drunk marionette.
• Scratch starts off the speech by making Andrea tell the audience that she's decided that she doesn't care how people pronounce her name and they can pronounce it however they like ("I say go nuts! Let's get creative!").
• Scratch!Andrea makes a big heartwarming speech about how there's a girl who's been having a rough time and that it's his fault, and that nobody deserves to be treated like they're the worst of the worst. As his speech reaches it's climax and tees up Molly to be embraced by the school... he instead gives the spotlight to Libby and pulls her out of her social exile and then makes an aside remark for the kids to cut Molly some slack as an afterthought.
• Leaving school, Molly thanks her "very bestest-best friend ever" for doing something so sweet for her. Scratch immediately denies the whole thing, and not very well.
  Scratch: ...ME?! Oh, no, no, no, I am NOT your friend!
  Molly: [Teasing his hair] Then why'dja save my first day?
  Scratch: UGH! Because, otherwise... you would be headed to JAIL, and you'd drag me along —
  Molly: Uh-huh.
  Scratch: And, you know — [He puffs out and drums his gut] — I, I can't get in that kinda SHAPE...

Howlin' Harriet

• All of the pictures on Molly's "(Human) Best Friend" board are candid shots taken by her, with each of the three candidates looking confused and startled at the girl who just came out of nowhere with a camera (in Libby's case, from behind the bushes).
  "Libby! Sheela! And Kat!" [Mewing noise]
• An unfortunate bird dies after getting hit by a letter falling off the sign near the campgrounds. Its ghost appears repeatedly throughout the episode in scenes with Scratch and Geoff.
• Molly finds Scratch scarfing down berries in the woods.
  Molly: SCRATCH! You can't eat those berries, they're poisonous!
  Scratch: (With a full mouth) You know I'm already dead, right?
• When Harriet shows up, Libby, Sheela, and Kat run away, leaving Molly with an entirely unamused face. It isn’t until Molly sees Scratch and Geoff that she realizes she’s in danger.
• Scratch and Geoff distract Harriet by running around either showing off or taking the form of ectoplasmic legs with a full set of toes.
• Libby's fake toes consist of a row of uncooked hot dogs, cut into the proper lengths and sewn together... with pretty much nothing done to disguise them as hot dogs, since she spent the rest of the montage giving them metallic turquoise nail polish. Both Molly and Harriet are still very impressed.
  Libby: [Waggling her own toes, which all have the same polish] I used my foot for reference.

The (Un)natural

• The Lemmings prove to be hilariously inept at softball, either running into each other or getting beaned by the ball when they try to catch it. Andrea doesn't even bother trying to play; she apparently just joined the team because she thought the uniforms were cute.
• After Molly refuses to let Scratch intervene any more, saying that she isn't a cheater, Scratch suddenly gets the idea to guilt her and pulls an absolutely hilarious Grinch-like smile, rubbing his hands in anticipation.
• The song for the episode is "If You Believe", an energetic pop song about the power of belief in yourself, that plays over a montage of Scratch secretly helping her win. Once the two agree to officially team up for the good of Brighton, the song plays again over another montage, with an added deep male voice:
  One, two, three, four, woo!
  If you beli~eve (and cheat a little)
  That's all you need to win
  If you beli~eve (aaaaand cheat a little)
  We can do anything
  Everybody, all together
  Wanna hear you si~ng
  Beli~eve (and cheat!)
  One, two, three, four, woo?
  If you believe!
• Scratch gets pulled away by the Ghost Council at a bad time to discuss his scare quota. Despite Scratch only being gone for less than a minute, by the time he gets back Molly has somehow blown their 18-point lead against the Skylarks, who are now only a point behind with the bases loaded.
  Scratch: WHAT THE HEY?! You gave up seventeen runs, and the bases are loaded?! How?!
  Molly: (completely shell-shocked) I dunno, man, I dunno... It's a blur... of bats, and balls, and humiliation...
• When Molly insists on finishing the game fair and square, Scratch tries to push her to keep cheating by gesturing to the spectators and saying she'll let the town down. Among stands is an inexplicable Littlest Cancer Patient and an old woman with an urn of what's clearly her partner's ashes, just to drive the point home even harder.
  • Then when the team wins, the sick girl suddenly springs to her feet and smacks the nurse next to her with her IV stand and the old woman cheers and completely spills the ashes into the woman next to her.
• The Lemmings' victory is done as an over-top-top parody of sports movies, complete with Molly and Scratch doing a "YEAH!" Shot in slow motion.
• The team goes to pick up Libby, and accidentally drop her onto the ground. In the next shot, Libby is in a wheelchair with a broken arm and leg.
• Afterwards Molly and Scratch relax and bask in the afterglow of their victory:
  Molly: We did it, Scratch... the good people of Brighton are happy because the Lemmings, even Libby, believe in themselves. And the best part is... It was an honest win.
  Scratch: It wasn't.
  Molly: The only part anyone will remember... is an honest win.
• The Jerk Jock on the other team tries to get in one last jab at Molly before leaving, and Scratch quickly flies offscreen and all we hear is a guttural roar and screaming. Scratch then casually floats up with a pen and paper to complete his scare-quota to a horrified looking Molly.
  Scratch: So is that 'Tammy' with a 'Y' or an 'I'? (clicks pen with a smug smile)
  • The fact that Molly, who is otherwise impervious to Scratch's attempts at being scary, is clearly unnerved by whatever he did.

Getting the Band(shell) Back Together

• Scratch tries to block the McGees from going into the retirement home... and Molly just leads her family through his ectoplasmic body.
  Scratch: What you people just did is considered very rude in the ghost world!
  • The McGees convinced Scratch to come with them to begin with by saying they're going to a taco convention. Scratch is not pleased when he realizes they lied to him.
• Pretty much anything said by Molly's new friend Patty is sure to get a few laughs.
  Molly: You've lived in Brighton your whole life? My family and I just moved to town.
  Patty: Hmm, well, we all make mistakes. (chuckles) Mine was called Bobby Daniels, and he rode a motorcycle...
• This moment during the fundraising montage when Scratch arrives with a large bag of money. Sirens are heard in the distance:
  Molly: Did you rob a bank?!
  Scratch: Molly McGee! Do you really think so little of me?
  (Scratch opens the bag. A dye pack explodes in his face.)
  Scratch: …It was a credit union.
  Molly: (pushing Scratch and the money) Take it back, TAKE IT BACK!
• After the Town Council rejects Molly's proposal, Scratch is so angry he overturns a chair. To the Council, it just looks like the chair falls by itself.
  • Later, when the senior citizens come to help Molly rebuild the bandshell, Molly rubs it in Scratch's face with her "Told Ya" dance. To the senior citizens, it looks likes Molly is dancing nonsensically.
• "I don't like that face. It reeks of hope!"
• One of the old people helping rebuild the band-shell briefly dies, and Scratch has to force his spirit back into his body. Even the singer seemed to be taken off guard by the sudden death.
  Take a break and catch some Zs
  Oh, wait, no— THAT MAN'S DECEASED!
  Scratch: Hey! (shoves the soul back in place) Get back in that body!

The Greatest Concert Ever

• The episode opens with a string of terrible acts auditioning to perform at the Bandshell, including a barbershop quartet, some old ladies on triangles, a chorus of "singing" dogs, and a random kid with a bassoon.
• Molly thinks Kenny Star is basically a Brightonian in spite of being 'technically' born in Tuscaloosa because his great-great-grandmother's second cousin once removed went to summer school in Brighton. She even brings that up when talking to his double before learning he's not the real Kenny.
• Kenny Star's music video, an over-the-top display of patriotism with begins with Kenny riding a giant bald eagle wearing a star-spangled costume, then performing in front of Mount Rushmore (with Washington and Lincoln replaced by Kenny and the eagle), with the eagle on drums.
  • The video goes on to show Kenny doing ordinary jobs... along with the eagle.
• After Molly gives Scratch her big presentation on intercepting Kenny Star, he asks if she was up all night working on that plan. Molly just stands still for a moment as her left eye drifts to the side.
  Molly: Huh? Sorry, I fell asleep with my eyes open for a second.
• Sharon goes on a brief but passionate rant about how musicians will just let you down. It's blatantly obvious she's talking from experience.
• Scratch points out that a big star like Kenny would never go to Brighton, only for Molly to reveal a massive String Theory board she made to determine his exact location.
  Scratch: This guy is a huge celebrity! He's never stepping foot in Brighton!
  Molly: Oh really? Wait 'til you see what I have planned. (reveals the board)
  Scratch: Ahh, we're going to murder him.
  Molly: What!? No!
• The McGees talk about getting Kenny Star to play Brighton as they get in their car. A neighbor overhears and the news quickly travels all over town, getting back to the McGees before they even pull out of the driveway.
  • The first neighbor to overhear the news was mowing the lawn, and leaves the lawnmower running when she runs off. It is then seen going down the street several times during the episode.
• Kenny Star clings to his image as an average all-American guy... while giving an interview to a reporter in his private jet.
  Kenny: I put my rhinestone britches on one leg at a time, just like everyone else...
  • What's more, the giant eagle from the video is also is in the jet.
• The McGees intercept Kenny's tour bus, and Molly gives a passionate speech to Kenny to convince him to play Brighton. It appears he's saying yes... but he turns out not to be the real Kenny Star, but his body double; the real Kenny is in the aforementioned private jet.
  • During Molly's speech, as she's describing Brighton's baseball team to (who she thinks is) Kenny Star, she shows him the team photo as seen at the end of "The (Un)Natural", complete with Libby in a wheelchair with her broken arm and leg.
• After Molly’s speech, the body double goes to use the restroom... by firing himself into the store from a cannon.
• Scratch doesn't end up getting Kenny Star, or even his stunt double... but he does get Atomic Pink, the K-pop group Darryl was listening to earlier in the episode. Their lead singer seems a bit confused that Cleveland is a lot smaller than they were expecting, but she rolls with it.
  • The entire sequence of Scratch possessing the bus driver and haphazardly driving the group to Brighton, what with the driver's body flopping about with his face stuck in a permanent smile as discordant horror music plays.

Mama's Gotta Hustle

• Scratch tries to convince Sharon to get a job at a restaurant. Sharon apparently had a bad experience working in her family's restaurant growing up, as she does NOT take the suggestion that she "go cook" well. Not at all.
  Molly: (whispering to Scratch) This morning, I caught her glaring at the stove.
  (Cut back to the McGee's house, where Sharon angrily glares at the stove)
  Scratch: Ooh, you were not kidding.
• As Peter and Darryl try to open the mysterious tiny door in the basement, Peter keeps getting freaked out by centipedes.
• During the song number, Molly and Sharon are happily into the groove of cleaning a room... until the singer mentions that they're "up to [their] elbows in toxic mold", which causes them to suddenly stop what they're doing in shock. The singer continues the song like nothing happened, while Sharon spends the rest of it anxiously worrying whether she and Molly will need medical attention.
  Sharon: Do we need to see a doctor or...?
  Singer: (dismissively) You'll be fine!

Hooray for Mollywood!

• Darryl complains that the old ghost movie he and Scratch picked out had "Too many talking heads, and not enough severed heads."
• Molly tries to pass Scratch wearing a bedsheet as her "Canadian cousin, Carl".
  Scratch: (deadpan) Yeah, I'm the ghost... eh?
• Some of the fake tombstones for Molly's ghost movie have inscriptions that say, "Ben Better", "BRB" and "it's dark down here".
• During the movie-making Failure Montage, Libby does a pretty impressive scared reaction to Scratch's ghost character. As Molly cheers on Libby, while Darryl is recording the scene, she turns and walks away in anger. It's revealed that Darryl had the camera on selfie mode. Even the people singing the song lampshades this.
  Darryl: My bad.
• Scratch's rampage on the movie set is accompanied by an upbeat showtune.

Not-So-Honest Abe

• Scratch tries to get into the ghost nightclub with a fake ID made with crayon. When the bouncer rips it up, he complains about how long it took him to make.
• Molly needs to find a gorilla for Libby's presentation on Dian Fossey. After seeing her brother Darryl eating spilled chips off the couch like an animal, she decides he's perfect for the role. This is after she was unsuccessful in renting a real gorilla from the zoo.
• Scratch miming getting into an elevator to go up to Molly's room.
• Scratch ends up getting Geoff to impersonate Lincoln. He doesn't do a very convincing job, but Molly is too sleep-deprived to notice.
  Scratch: Do you know the Gettysburg Address?
  Geoff: Uh, no, but I could probably pull it up on Ghoulie Maps.
• Scratch tries to fix his mistake by sneaking into the President's Lounge at Haughty Haunts.
  • First, he distracts the bouncer by pretending to deliver a pizza. When that doesn't work, Scratch just shoves it in the face of the bouncer, who complains about it being Chicago deep-dish.
  • Scratch gets ends up having to cut the techno remix of "Hail to the Chief" that all the presidents are jamming to in order to get their attention.
    Franklin Roosevelt: Hey, turn the music back on! FDR needs his EDM!
• At the end of the episode, Molly realizes she forgot about the science fair and asks Scratch if he knows Albert Einstein. Scratch cheerfully replies "Yes, because I've learned NOTHING!", while Lincoln's ghost face-palms.
• The download version of the Abraham Lincoln rap has Lincoln throwing in a little diss at the end:
  Lincoln: Take that, Hamilton!

The Best of Nin-tensions

• Every time Peter mentions "the Tensions" between Sharon and her mother Nin, Dramatic Thunder rolls in. The rest of the family is unnerved, but Scratch especially becomes increasingly weirded out by this.
  Scratch: (frantically looking around) As a supernatural entity, I am telling you that is odd.
• Peter finds his wife has resorted to hiding under the bed to avoid her mother.
• Nin gives Peter a durian, a Thai fruit infamous for its terrible smell.
  • When it's opened, Scratch reacts to its smell by shoving his fingers up his nostrils... and then cutting them off to make them into nose plugs.
  • Finding that Darryl likes the taste of the durian, Peter bribes him to eat the whole thing.
  • After telling Nin that he ate the whole thing, Nin gives him another durian, with Darryl getting a smug expression on his face as he holds his bribe money.
• When the wedding tarp falls on everyone and Scratch tries to save Nin, a cow is somehow under the tarp with them.

Mazel Tov, Libby!

• Molly and Scratch sing an impassioned song about how ostentatious they think Libby's Bat Mitzvah will be. The very next scene is Molly and Scratch in shock that it is a much smaller, less fancy event at Libby's synagogue.
  Scratch: I see no fountain of ranch.
• Scratch thinks a Bat Mitzvah involves actual bats, and keeps trying to release a whole box of them at the party. In the end, it was Molly who releases the bats to get rid of the guests. And they end up attacking Scratch as well.
  Scratch: They're turning on me! Oh no!
• Darryl gets more guests for the party by starting a conga line.
• Molly wasn't kidding when she said no middle-schooler could resist a slow dance; the prospect of a slow dance makes all the kids fall into a trance and act like zombies.

No Good Deed

• The reason Darryl is suspended is because he rode a trolley all over school, using a leaf blower for propulsion.
• Molly's various facial expressions as she becomes increasingly enraged and frustrated at Darryl after she learns he sent their teachers to prison.
• Yet another ghost bird gag; this time it's from one that hits the prison's electric fence.
• Phasing through the prison electrified fence causes Scratch to essentially act like a sloppy drunk.
  • At the end, he comes to and acts like he's got a hangover. He complains of a "splitting headache", and his entire body splits in half, leaving just his eyes and brain.
• The teachers (Ms. Roop, Miss Lightfoot, and Mr. Bates) seem to think their whole experience in the prison is some kind of escape room, and remain blissfully ignorant the whole time.
  • Darryl's takeaway from his teachers enjoying their prison experience.
    Darryl: I hope I get to go to prison some day!
    Scratch: I think you will, sport. I think you will.
• Ms. Roop is briefly distracted when she recognizes one of the prisoners working out in the yard as one of her old students.

The Turnip Twist

• Mr. McGee seems to prefer print magazines to online ones because of "the new magazine smell."
• Molly and her dad have several false starts when trying to do a high-five.
• Scratch startles the Mayor's goldfish (or rather, "Assistant Mayor Goldie") by appearing in its bowl. Then he discovers he literally scared Goldie to death, and briefly has to puppeteer the dead fish until he can get their soul back in their body.
  Scratch: Talk about dead in the water! (sees the goldfish floating upside-down) Ooh, poor word choice...
• The Ghost Council mentions a time when Perfektborg had a crumb cake cookie competition and apparently, Scary Sven never recovered.
  Scary Sven: (In a German accent) Hello? Is eternity over yet?
• Scratch tries to get around spoiling the festival (and breaking poor Molly's heart) by having Geoff do it for him. Unfortunately, Geoff does poorly... until he learns that Scratch will be banished if he doesn't, so he succeeds by dropping a giant prop turnip that rolls over everything in town.
  • The Pinball Gag of the turnip bouncing off lampposts, topped with a "Jackpot" truck driving by.

All Systems No

• It turns out Molly, of all people, has an irrational hatred of stage/street magicians.
  Molly: Obviously, I love real magic, wizards and unicorns and stuff, but magicians are just con artists who trick people! I don't like being bamboozled, Scratch, and I will not be hurt again! (notices everyone sees her apparently talking to herself)
• Molly gets out of watching Irving the Illusionist's crappy magic act by agreeing to taste-test Patty's gumbo. Turns out Patty isn't very experienced. And then Patty asks Molly (who's been magically cursed to say "yes" to every request) if she wants seconds.
• Scratch's curse ends up backfiring when the chaos he causes by cursing Molly to only say "yes" increases Brighton's misery index enough to get him an invitation into elite ghost society, and he's literally incapable of saying anything but "no".
• Poor Molly gets stuck having to help pawn-shop owner and local eccentric "Weird Larry" find his missing pet skunk, Vera... and it turns out the skunk Molly has been chasing (and getting sprayed by) all day is NOT Vera.
  • Earlier, Molly tries desperately to resist agreeing to the task to the point where the word 'YES' is literally bulging through her throat before she finally blurts it out
• The rest of the McGee family spends the day struggling with a bee in the kitchen, which eventually turns into a huge swarm, big enough to leave Pete covered in bees.
• Scratch manages to switch the curse around so that Molly can only say "no" and Scratch can only say "yes" for the rest of the day... just as they come home and the rest of the McGees ask for his help in dealing with the swarm of bees in the house. Scratch, to his credit, gets Molly to help by asking if she doesn't want to NOT help him.
• Molly and Scratch are watching the clock count down to midnight, when the curse will be lifted... and Molly waits until the literal last seconds to blurt out "WANNA FRENCH-BRAID MY HAIR?!", knowing that Scratch can't refuse. He's not thrilled, but he is impressed by her using sneaky tactics.
  • The final lines of the episode, which have been confirmed to just be Snyder and Burch ad-libbing while recording.
    Scratch: Huh. Lotta bee-wings in here...
    Molly: Ooh! Kinda weave 'em in, that might look cool.
    Scratch: For that iridescent quality.

Monumental Disaster

• The Mayor unveils the statue of Ezekiel Tugbottom and the tarp falls on top of him. When he unveils the statue of Sally Tugbottom at the end, it happens again.
• After the unveiling, the Mayor invites everyone to the post-unveiling pot luck. Except for Todd, because "cups aren't a contribution. They weren't at my eighth birthday party, and they aren't now."
• The ghost of Ezekiel sees a fire at the Brighton Historical Society and rushes in to help. He rescues... a portrait of himself instead of the woman calling for help, whom he accuses of not even helping him rescue the portrait.
• Libby opening a Bookcase Passage by pulling on the book titled Secret Levers 4 Secret Doors.
• As a tornado, Ezekiel throws a tree at Molly, but misses and hits his statue instead. It appears to be intact after the tree bounces off of it, but a beat later it crumbles to pieces.

Talent Show

• Libby's singing is so bad, when Molly tries to fix it with auto-tune it overloads the program and causes Molly's phone to call for help and go up in flames.
• Molly tricks Libby to end up in a package and sends her away per mail. It gets even better when Scratch delivers the package right back to her.
  • Molly's previous attempts to stop Libby from getting to the stage, including posing as a crossing guard letting a pill bug cross, acting as a mime (badly, as she says what she's doing), and even putting a whole herd of cattle on the hallway.
• At the end, Molly tells Scratch that she'll be more honest from now on. And then...
  Libby: Molly, who are you talking to?
  Molly: [pushing Scratch aside] NO ONE!

Scratch The Surface

• Scratch critiques the lie Molly made up to keep Libby in the dark as "Seven out of ten. Weird enough to be true, but boring enough that there are no follow-up questions."
• Libby acting like "the bloodhound of truth" when she starts to suspect Molly is keeping a secret - as in, literally walking on all fours and howling like a dog.
• The song of the epsiode It's a Lose-Lose is a legit beautiful and epic song, but the overly-dramatic visuals parodying the musical numbers of Disney's princess movies and Molly and Scratch entering Ham-to-Ham Combat also makes it absolutely hilarious. One of the highlights being Molly literally becoming a Disney princess for a second with an almost endless dress whilst suddenly inside a huge room filled with candles, all to say the line "Scratch! Get away from that phone!" with a tremendous of emotion.
• Scratch wakes up to a mess of String Theory and Molly's hilariously terrifying Sleep Deprivation face.
• Molly ends up posing as her Canadian cousin "Milly". Libby sees through her disguise and makes "Milly" do all sorts of ridiculous things that Molly hates: from making her eat a cheeseburger covered in maple syrup to subjecting her to Irving the Illusionist and his terrible magic act. Molly is struggling hilariously while trying not to reveal herself.
  Scratch: Didn't you once say that maple syrup "tastes like a trees tears"?
• Scratch suggesting a third persona for Molly, "Mally from Tallahassee". Complete with a talking pet cockatiel.
• Near the end of the episode, Libby thinks she's figured out why Molly has been acting so strangely throughout the episode... she's been possessed by a Canadian brain slug.

Friend-Off

• When Molly tries to introduce Libby to Scratch, the ghost points out he already knows all about her, quickly listing off her various traits in a dismissive manner, causing Libby to note into her tape recorder that ghosts exist—and that they're rude.
• Scratch finds Molly's invitation blocking the door to his house.
  Scratch: My space feels violated.
• Molly uses really obvious disguises while watching Libby and Scratch during the scavenger hunt. They recognize her instantly.
  • While Molly is spying on Scratch and Libby in a Lemmings mascot costume, the real mascot runs over to jump her and chase her off while the other two have their backs turned.
• One of the places the scavenger hunt leads Scratch and Libby to is the school auditorium, which leads to them discussing the Talent Show. And Scratch takes great pleasure in revealing to Libby just how much he actually knows about her, much to her embarrassment.
  Libby: Of course Molly included this. She knows how important the Talent Show was to me. That was the day I found my voice.
  Scratch: (smugly) Ooh, I've heard that voice. Any chance you could lose it again?
  Libby: What?! You know about my singing voice?!
  Scratch: Uh, yeah! Molly and I go everywhere together! The park, the school, your house, when you reveal your deepest, darkest secrets…
  Libby: (nervously) Y-You weren't there when I told her about what happened at Andrea's sleepover in third grade, were you?
  Scratch: Pro Tip: Don't drink so much water before bed. Alright, Tinkles?
• During the "One Best Friend" fantasy sequence, Libby and Scratch both get winded and have to call a time out.
• The ridiculous Disaster Dominoes chain of events that leads to Molly getting sucked into a giant turnip slicer.
• Molly finally succeeds in getting Scratch and Libby to bond… and much to her chagrin, one of the things they bond over is their shared amusement/annoyance with some of her quirks, from her pushy optimism to her propensity for getting into danger.
  Scratch: And what's with the "sweet baby corn" thing?
  Libby: I know right? She says it every chance she gets.
  Scratch: I mean, it ain't a catchphrase. It's not catchin' on.
  Molly: (being ignored) Give it some time, why don't you? These things take time!
  • At one point, Libby brings up the bats being released at her bat mitzvah back in "Mazel Tov, Libby!", thinking that Molly did it. Scratch goes along with it, quickly affirming that it was all Molly's idea and he was completely against it.

Festival of Lights

• It seems even turtles have a distaste for Scratch, as one of the turtles in Mrs. Stein-Torres' book store glares at him before retreating into its shell.
• Scratch gets a full-blown Disney Acid Sequence about his love of fried food.
• When everyone is talking about their miracles, Darryl's says "It's a miracle I didn't get caught."

Saving Christmas

• During the "Ghost of Christmas Past" part of Molly and Scratch's ploy, Molly's brother and dad play the part of Mr. Davenport and his father respectively... while wearing Victorian English clothing. When Mr. Davenport points out he grew up in the 1980s and not the 1890s, Pete and Darryl proceed to speak in a mix of Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe and Totally Radical slang.
• Being a Phoneaholic Teenager seems to run in Andrea's family, as the picture of Andrea's mother as the Snowflake Queen has the future Mrs. Davenport holding an enormous 80s-style cellular phone.
• Scratch decides to scare Mr. Davenport into getting some Christmas spirit to fund for the Snowflake Celebration (Doubles as a Moment of Awesome), or as he puts it:
  Scratch: (while sporting a Nightmare Face) I'M THE GHOST OF "I'M GONNA SCARE THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT INTO YOUR LOUSY CARCASS!!!"
  • Scratch's idea of scaring him? To fling Mr. Davenport around as if he were a ragdoll. All while Mr. Davenport is laughing his ass off.
  Scratch: YOU! ARE! SO! FRUST-TRA-TING!!!
• Darryl tries to use asbestos to make artificial snow, until his parents stop him.

Ice Princess

• When Sonia launches her icicle attack, they leave holes on Scratch's body, including taking out one of his eyes. Darryl later puts it back, encased in an ice cube.
• Molly volunteers to be Sonia's ice partner. Unfortunately, she can't ice skate for beans.
  Scratch: All the grace of a baby giraffe.
• Darryl's disgust that his dad had a nickname as cool as "Blades" and instead just goes by Pete. The kicker being that Molly fully agrees but reminds him that the nickname isn't the part they should focus on from their dad's story.

Ready, Set, Snow!

• "Hygge what now?"
• Molly consulting the "Friendship Handbook", a book very clearly written by her (including a signed author's photo on the back), while Scratch and Libby stare at her antics unimpressed.
• When Scratch gathers pillows for hygge, Molly is balled up on the couch, looking at him with sad Puppy-Dog Eyes. Scratch appears to lovingly put his arm around her...only to grab the pillow behind her and rip it away, much to her annoyance.
• Molly decides to just play outside with Darryl, but as soon as she opens the front door, Darryl is there inside a block of ice, waiting to go inside.
• Molly's Sanity Slippage as she forces herself to play out in the snow alone, despite the harsh weather making it impossible.
  • Molly even builds herself a therapist out of snow, complete with notepad and couch.
• Just as Molly accepts to stay inside, the others think they're getting too warm and decide to go outside to play.
  Molly: (while throwing the blanket into the fireplace) HYGGE!!!

Game Night

• Scratch is unimpressed by the McGees' "Wheel of Chore-Fun".
  Scratch: What the heck is this? Other than a waste of perfectly good macaroni.
  • Especially funny when Scratch gets just as into it as the rest of the family.
• Darryl is hoping to get trash duty, because it's a great source of "blackmail material", as seen with one of his dad's tacky high-school photos.
• Sharon turns out to have been a six-time junior national champion at Mega City back in the nineties. It would have been seven-time, but she was disqualified in 1995 for making her opponent cry with her Unsportsmanlike Gloating.
• Scratch finally gets the downstairs bathroom clean and asks the others not to use it. Cue Darryl rushing inside because "that chili ain't sittin' too right!", followed by a Skyward Scream from Scratch that gets cut off by the ending jingle.

The Don't-Gooder

• Molly appearing in the background of Andrea's news report, being attacked by an opossum. The headline is that she disturbed local wildlife.
• The scene where Scratch sends Andrea's drink and nougat bars to the Ghost Council.
• In the end Andrea and her parents return home to find all the nougat bar boxes empty. Thankfully, they're unable to see a very round-looking Scratch who falls out of one of the boxes groaning in pain.

Innocent Until Proven Ghostly

• Molly and Scratch go through a ridiculously complicated Secret Handshake when he gives her a "Molly McGee Guarantee" that he didn't steal the cake.
• Molly dresses as Lady Justice, complete with blindfold, when starting the trial. This means she can't see where she's going and falls off the coffee table.
  • Also, her "sword and scale" are really a broom and a hanger with a tie and loofa hanging at both ends.
• Molly badgers a confession out of her own mother on the "witness stand"... that she doesn't like Pete's crumb cake, especially the carob.
  • As evidence, Molly shows a photo of their first date, where Sharon has a crooked forced smile as she's eating the cake. Then Sharon is shown with the exact same smile in her face.
    • There's another photo of Sharon sporting the same crooked forced smile, with a caption saying, "the face of DECEPTION >:)".
• One photo on Molly's String Theory board depicts Darryl making a really funny face.
• When Darryl is accused of taking the cake, he says he wants to talk to his lawyer. Turns out he has an actual lawyer.
  • Darryl initially claims he was in his room doing homework at the time of the crime. Absolutely no one believes him, and his lawyer can be seen slowly shaking her head.
• Darryl only took the glass dome covering the cake to catch his pet tarantula. A skittish Molly asks if he caught it; he says yes, as the tarantula is seen crawling along the ceiling behind Molly.
• Molly goes especially hard in her interrogation of Pete when she discovers the burned cake in the trash and accuses him of setting up a fake crime scene as a Frame-Up to cover up his own mistake. Meanwhile, Scratch is genuinely impressed and delighted by how intimidating she's being.
  Scratch: (chuckling) Well! I really need to take Molly scaring with me. I mean, she is flat-out terrifying! (morphs a wind-up key on his back and turns it) You just wind her up and watch her go, man. Whoo!
• Pete had to get a new crumb cake recipe because the old one got lost in the move. Cut to flashback of Sharon running it through the shredder.
• Molly realizes Scratch is innocent because he's allergic to carob. She proves it by forcing a carob chip down his throat, causing him to swell up to the size of the whole house!
  Scratch: I shared that in confidence.
  • It also sets off the McGees' van's car alarm!
• The Reveal as to who took the cake — it was Geoff, who mistook it for a birthday cake for him, even though it wasn't his birthday and the name on the cake was Sharon.
  • When Molly and Scratch learns this their reaction is just priceless. Scratch is seething in silent rage and just leaves, Molly has a short Heroic BSoD.

Twin Trouble

• Scratch offers to scare away Uncle Billy and Aunt Tilly by twisting his head around, a trick he came up with on his own and definitely didn't see it in a movie once.
• Scratch's Wrong Song Gag with the boom box.
  Molly: We've gotta lure those sob-goblins away from Dad.
  Scratch: I'll set the mood.
  (he presses play on a boom box, but it plays a happy song)
  Scratch: Whoops, wrong mood.
• Molly tries to lure the sob-goblins away from her father by making herself sad... with a Fauxtivational Poster of an office-worker kitten hanging in a tree, captioned "Hang In There, It's Almost Friday".
  Molly: (bursts into Ocular Gushers) It's only Tuesday!
  • When the poster appears later, the kitten has fallen off, and there's an error box on his little laptop.
  Molly: (wailing) THE KITTEN DIDN'T MAKE IT!!!
• The moment at the end when Pete reconciles with his older siblings turns awkward when the mayor walks by and sees Pete shirtless in public.

Goat Your Own Way

• Scratch uses Behavioral Conditioning on Molly's dad to make him the perfect proxy for ordering something from Turkey Tina's. He even gets Pete acting like a Big Friendly Dog.
• When Libby first gets a goat to train, it literally walks all over her. By the time the week is up, she has it following orders like a sergeant.
• Sharon warns Molly that simply giving the goat a treat whenever she asks for one is no way to parent. To prove it, she pulls out a picture of Molly at her first birthday party, making Puppy-Dog Eyes as she asks for cake. Followed by pictures of her going berserk.
• Molly's goat Totes getting fatter as she indulges him with crackers.
• Scratch prepares the mother of all Dagwood Sandwiches to have Pete deep-fry it at Turkey Tina's, tops it with whipped cream... and then piles on more on top. The final sandwich is a story tall at least.
• After Totes attacks Scratch's deep-fried sandwich, Smash Cut to pictures of Totes and the McGees at the gate of the county fair listed as "Banned for Life". Even Sharon, who didn't even do anything.

A Very Hungry Ghost

• Molly says she's sure her parents are having a great time on their camping trip. Cut to Pete hanging from a tree screaming as Sharon tries to shoo an angry bear away by waving a stick.
• Scratch invites Geoff for the Sart Duan Sib dinner and warns him to "tell nobody nothing." Geoff interprets the Double Negative as "tell everyone" so all the ghosts from the show so far appear to the feast.
• Just when it looks like he's finally going to get to enjoy the feast, Scratch gets summoned by the Ghost Council... who apparently just wanted to make fun of him for putting "Scar Report" on his latest scare report.
• Molly's Bad "Bad Acting" while pretending to be scared of Scratch in front of the Ghost Council: "Oh nooo, a ghooost!"
• Scratch is understandably distraught when he discovers that the other ghost guests have eaten all the food at the feast and there's none left for him, but just how over the top he is makes it hilarious. It's also funny how he immediately cheers up when Nin offers to order him a pizza.

Scare Tactics

• Molly decides she's found a new place for her old "Baby Jessie" doll... "the donations bag," which she then tosses out the window.
• Molly calls Darryl for help dealing with Heidi Hairylegs. We still don't find out what he's up to, but the audience can clearly hear various barnyard animal sounds, as well as what sounds like a motorcycle engine, on the other end.
• The multiple CutawayGags between Molly and the scaring seminar.
  • One is a Jump Scare, where Molly slowly reaches for her plushies, which seem to be moving on their own, and then it cuts to Pango saying "Boo!" as part of a lesson on jump-scares.
  • Another happens when Molly learns that her ordeal with Heidi is about to go From Bad to Worse, with Heidi ready to give birth to thousands of baby tarantulas. Cut to Pango, who says...
  Pango: Now that's what we call, "escalation!"
• Pango and the Chairman peek in on Molly, curious about Scratch's method of interacting with humans. Scratch, as Molly's best friend, is scared that they'll discover the truth. Except, they peeked in at the perfect timing to witness Molly's terrified freak-out over Heidi Hairylegs being loose in the house.
  Molly: (terrified) Why did you leave me like this, Scratch?!? (sobbing) What was that? Oh, my nightmares are everywhere! MY LIFE IS AGONY!!!
  Pango: (to Scratch) Wow, you pass. Clearly, we've all got something to learn from you.
• At the end of the episode, Scratch makes it back to the McGee house and finds Molly outside, cheerfully watering a flower, apparently over her earlier freak-out. But then she suddenly stops Scratch from going inside, telling him "It belongs to the spiders now." Then we see Heidi Hairylegs and her thousands of offspring swarming at the kitchen window. Scratch and Molly scream in horror, then it abruptly cuts to the usually cheery jingle that ends each episode ("The Ghost and Molly McGee!").

The Bad Boy Bobby Daniels

• Scratch is profoundly disappointed to find Patty's old flame Bobby Daniels, "the Bad Boy of Brighton," is now a mild-mannered librarian wearing a cardigan and boat shoes.
  Scratch: Where's the leather jacket, the cool hog, the flagrant disregard for authority? (gasp) He is authority!
• The Reveal that the "epic" chase through downtown Brighton between Patty and the mysterious kidnapper is on electric scooters barely going above a walking pace.
• After seeing Linda and Patty's friendship strained, Molly warns Scratch not to meddle in her love life in the future, or he'll end up in "the after-afterlife." She says all this in a cheerful tone with a smile on her face.

Citizen McGee

• At the Mayor's office, Scratch decides to put his feet on the desk, which he grows just for the occasion. He then decides to rest his butt on it too, and removes it from his body and places it on top of the desk.
• The Sailor Moon-esque Transformation Sequence when Molly puts on her blazer.
• Darryl keeps stealing things from the mayor's office throughout the episode. When Molly calls him on it, it turns out he managed to fit a ridiculous amount of stuff in those jacket pockets.
• One year Mayor Brunson didn't want to run for his re-election. The people voted for him anyway.
• Scratch accidentally reveals that he fakes portal to the Ghost World to pretend that the Ghost Council has summoned him. When Molly gets mad, he assures her that he never did it to avoid her.
• When the horseflies come after the reporter, Joanie Pataky, she has some hilarious moments.
  Joanie Pataky: Up next: Can one woman outrun a swarm of horseflies? AH! NO! THE ANSWER IS NOOOOOOOO!
  Joanie Pataky: Good news to report! The horseflies have eaten all the maple syrup and pancakes! The bad news is, all the food is gone, and they are angry about it! Oh no, they've found me again! Help!
• After the ghosts of the previous mayors convince Stu to become mayor again, they all head back to the ghost world...except for one who sees a car and rants against the "great metal beast" before getting dragged back.

The Internship

• Scratch calls interns "unpaid slaves doing other people's work"...which gives him the idea of getting one.
• Sorting out the junk recently given to Weird Larry, Molly finds a toy robot and gushes about how it'll soon find a new home. Larry then smashes the robot to bits to get its voice box.
• Weird Larry's skunks keep spraying Molly at every chance.
  • At school, students and teachers avoid the smelly Molly. Libby, on the other hand, is just confused what stinks so badly and smells at her own armpit.
• Molly warns Scratch that mistreating his intern Reggie will backfire, as he might end up being his boss someday. At the end, that is exactly what happens. For extra irony, Reggie gets promoted by passing up his abuse as lessons in order to save Scratch from getting sent to the Flow of Failed Phantoms.

Lucky Penny

• Libby keeps getting hit with plastic grocery bags. When Molly's luck is transferred to Libby's penny, she starts getting hit by bags as well. And after the penny gets in Andrea's purse, the bags practically swarm towards her, even ominously looming over them from electrical wires in a scene straight out of The Birds.
  • Scratch's deeply concerned and confused look during one of these instances, as he tries to figure out where all these bags are even coming from.
    Scratch: They're like magnets!
• Molly and Libby take a moment to gush over how dramatic Scratch gets whenever he casts a curse.
  Libby: (giggles) He really leans into his performance.
  Molly: And no formal training!
• As soon as her luck gets transferred to the penny, Molly steps on some gum on the floor. At the same time, her other foot lands on dog poo. Seems one of the teachers brought his corgis to school again.
• When the lucky penny falls in Andrea's purse, it combines with Andrea's own natural good fortune to create a luck imbalance that sucks the good luck out of everyone else. This makes Andrea a Walking Disaster Area that she is completely oblivious to. With Molly's own bad luck, getting the penny back becomes impossible.
  • When Andrea gets home, her father gives her a pony that one of his clients was offloading. Molly and Scratch try to get the penny then, but the pony kicks them across the street.
    Scratch: Such a small pony, such big pain.
  • Molly tries to sneak up on Andrea while she's livestreaming, but just as Andrea moans that she doesn't have anything to do that night, two concert tickets happen to fall in front of her, and she asks her followers who wants to go with her. She is instantly mobbed by dozens of fans, while Molly and Scratch are Trampled Underfoot.
• Inside the grocery store, Libby's bad luck clashes against Andrea's super-good luck, creating a hurricane inside. Even then, Andrea is completely oblivious to the chaos around her. An umbrella even blows up from the stand to shield her from the rain.
• After Scratch transfers the luck from the penny back to Molly, Libby askes if their luck is back to normal. As she says this, Scratch eats another super spicy chip, causing a massive explosion that leaves them covered with soot. Then each of them get smacked in the face by plastic bags before Scratch says, "yes, yes it is."

Lock, Stock and Peril

• A flashback to show how Molly gets easily distracted has her showing Scratch a video of a kitten parade. Meanwhile, Sharon, who had asked Molly to bring the broom so she can sweep under the sofa, is lifting the very heavy sofa and is desperate to put it down.
• One of the distractions Molly falls for in her mission is a "real live unicorn", which is obviously a regular horse with a party hat.
• As Molly and the Scratch-possessed Weird Larry rush over to free the McGees, a song plays about how they won't get distracted. Smash Cut to them having lunch.

  Darryl: Those are actually from the Romanticism period... I mean, whaaa?
• Everyone's reaction to Pete after falling from the roof when he tries to clean the gutters.
  Darryl: I don't think arms are supposed to bend like that. (snaps a picture on his phone)
• If one takes a look at Pete's hospital bill, there are several Freeze Frame Bonuses:
  • Surgery costs $20,000, the cast cost $1500, and an x-ray costs $891.
  • The bill also happens to have a Z and a Q ray. Both of which don't exist in Real Life.
  • For some reason, the McGees have to pay for an ultrasound, despite Pete breaking his arm.
  • And Pete's insurance? It's 49 cents.
• Pete plays the role of Annoying Patient while his arm recovers. He whines to Scratch to... well, scratch under his cast; feed him because he can't use his nondominant hand; and when Sharon wakes him up while coming home late, Scratch complains that he just got him to sleep as he rocks him like a baby.
  • The Running Gag of him screaming "AGONY!" every time he accidentally hurts his bandaged arm.

  Scratch: Do you know what time it is, young lady?
  Sharon: Mom! I mean, Scratch!

Home is Where the Haunt Is

• Molly is desperately trying to prove everything's normal, even singing about it. It's definitely obvious that it is not.
  • While at the Geode Club, instead of just breaking the geodes in half, Molly smashes them to pieces until they are just glittery dust.
• Scratch tries to scare away Candace Green, the realtor trying to sell the house, by floating a candelabra down a dark hallway. She dismisses it as cliché.

  Scratch: "Cliché"? It's called an homage!

  • Later on, Scratch gets another idea to convince Candace from selling their house:
    Scratch: And I have one last trick up my sleeve! (laughs maniacally)
    (Cut to Scratch tearfully begging to Candace)
    Scratch: (Sobbing) Don't sell this house PLEASE!!!

Scaring is Caring

• Scratch tears up Molly's kitten calendar, upset that his monthly report is due. Molly gets upset at all the kittens torn up, grabs one that is split at the mouth, and makes it talk.
• Scratch becomes infected with joy and becomes progressively more and more adorable. He and the ghost doctor react in terror at this.
  Scratch: I feel pretty. And I hate it.
• Molly's attempts at being scary...aren't.
  • First, she has to scare a baby. She makes it cry with a flat "boo" then apologizes profusely.
  • Next, she tries a little kid, who turns out to have taken seven weeks of judo classes and curb stomps Molly.
  • Then, she disguises herself as a zombie, which starts working, until she adds that she needs brains so she can get a college degree. Her next attempt was going to be a spider single mother working to feed her thousands of babies.
  • Her final attempt is to put on a Godzilla costume, but no one finds her terrifying. Kids at a birthday party think she's the entertainment, and a couple shame her for trying to scare them in a cemetery while they're at a loved one's grave. One little girl even hugs her.
  Molly: (begging) Why won't you fear me?
• The ghost doctor looks inside Scratch and finds a sickeningly sweet Sugar Bowl world full of baby animals and a volcano that spews rainbows. When Scratch later finds his fear and returns to normal, the world inside him is engulfed in flames, and the animals start beating each other up.

All Night Plight

• Scratch is skeptical about the specialness of the comet, remarking it is just something that flies through space which he can just as easily do. Molly then sarcastically asks if Scratch is a "Majestic cosmic ice ball that leaves behind a trail of debris so majestic, grown men cry". Without missing a beat, Scratch answers her.
  Scratch: I made a man cry once. I hid his keys for a week, but I kept movin' em so he thought he was losing his mind.
  • Scratch's completely casual delivery adds to the Black Comedy. As do of the expressions of his friends, Libby looks uncomfortable whilst Molly looks disgusted and ready to lecture Scratch.

• Scratch cannot wait to tear into a comet piñata...and is upset that it's filled with glitter rather than anything edible.
• Molly can't find the snacks in the car; a flashback shows that the snacks were on top of the car and fell out when they drove off and got devoured by raccoons.

• When the rest of the McGees are informed about what happened in the previous episode, everyone but Sharon is panicking; Pete is pulling out his hair and Darryl is chewing his fingernails non-stop. Then Pete asks Darryl if he can pull out his hair, and Darryl says he'll let him if the former lets him bite his nails. Both accept the offer and we see Pete tugging on Darryl's hair while the latter bites the former's nails.
• One of the witnesses on Scratch's trial is Howling Harriet, who does nothing but moan and wail, yet the Council acts as if she's given expert testimony.
  Scratch: Are we all just pretending we understood that?
• To summon Geoff, Molly asks Libby what the most common spelling of Jeff is; naturally, that presses Geoff's Berserk Button.
• When Molly becomes a Wraith, her body is an Empty Shell that can only feel apathy. Both Molly herself and Libby are creeped out by it.
• Molly notices there's a video rental store in the Ghost World, named "Boo! Buster". Geoff explains that nothing new comes to the Ghost World until it's considered dead in the living world. Then he brags about his new flip phone.

  • During the musical number, one of the lines is "Sorry I made you into anime", after a ghost is made Moe by Molly's touch.
  • One of the ghosts affected actually likes the flowers that sprouted on him.
• The way Molly takes out the Chairman, winding up as if to punch him in the face, then instead booping him on the nose. That alone makes the Chairman explode in a shower of rainbows and flowers.

Season 2

The New (Para)Normal

• The opening theme song immediately transitions into Scratch and Molly playing an extended version of the song, and they're... not really up to the normal standard of the songs in the show.
• Molly is so excited to see someone move in across the street that she sticks her head right thorugh Scratch's body.
• Molly responds to June's "unbridled truth" by saying, "Honesty Is the Best Policy!" Which is rich coming from the same girl who told several whoppers throughout the first season.
• The Ghost Council is insulted that Scratch never learned their names.
• This gem from "Enjoy Your Afterlife":
  Sir Alister: Scratch? Long before I was a ghost...
  Scratch: Uh-huh?
  Sir Alister: What I really wanted most...
  Scratch: Yes?
  Sir Alister: Was to learn how to play the lute.
  Scratch: That's dumb.
  Sir Alister: You sound like my father. He said, "Foolish boy, this lute is a boorish toy." And then he cut the strings to mute my pursuit! ...of the lute.
  Grimbella: What a brute!
  • Scratch then suggests that Sir Alister go on tour in a lute-shaped van.
• Sharon and Esther bond over their shared love of spicy food with an impromptu hot-pepper eating contest. While they try to play it "cool", their pained expressions and watery eyes tell a different story.
• Scratch panics after mishearing that the Chens are ghost huggers rather than ghost hunters.
• The Ghost Council wastes no time in becoming The Thing That Would Not Leave, annoying the heck out of Scratch. You get the feeling they're doing it on purpose to get Scratch to accept his responsibilities as the new Chairman.
• In order to get the Chens out of the house, the McGees try to have the barbecue end sooner by eating as much food as they can as quick as they can, accompanied by a techno metal song.
• According to Scratch, the Chairman's robe is not only incredibly terrifying, it's also incredibly itchy.

Book Marks the Sprite

• As they head off on their respective missions, Molly, Scratch, and Libby do a brief, out-of-nowhere dance in tune to a remix of the theme song.

Double, Double, Darryl and Trouble

• Scratch tells ghost Darryl "eyes on me", then picks up his eyeballs and puts them in front of him.
• As Pete and Sharon discuss Darryl's change in personality, they shuffle through photos of his past mock caricatures. The last is Molly's head with goofy teeth and the word "En-stinkify" underneath her.

Faint of Art

• Scratch's various attempts to be Sharon's muse.
  • "Paint me like one of your French ghouls."
• One of the things Darryl offers to do for Sharon while she paints is to drive the car for errands. Pete dives into the car window to stop him.
• In the end, Scratch sits on Sharon's paints while trying out a "totally original pose" and accidentally leaves a butt print on the canvas. This actually helps Sharon overcome her anxiety, since with the canvas already marked it's not as intimidating now as it was when it was blank. Scratch raves that he finally got to be a muse.
  Molly: Your butt was the muse.
  Scratch: My butt is me. I am taking the win.

A Soda to Remember

• Pete tries to impress Ruben Chen by mowing his lawn. It falls flat when his lawnmower runs away from him.
• Principal O'Connor thinks turnip juice is a suitable replacement for soda. His cringing reaction says otherwise.
• After having lost his lunch due to Scratch eating it, O'Connor thinks he can just eat hot sauce packets. Big mistake.
• Molly's constant confusion over Darryl's Code Names for the heist. When Sharon overhears her talking about the heist, Darryl yells that this was why he used them in the first place.

A Period Piece

• There's a hilariously awkward moment near the beginning of the episode when Libby tries to gently explain to Molly that she's having her first period, and Molly fails to pick up on the euphemisms Libby uses.
  Libby: I got my first... uh... it's "my time of the month".
  Molly: What time of the month?
  Libby: Y'know, "Aunt Flo is visiting"?
  Molly: I don't think I know your Aunt Flo. Was she at your bat mitzvah?
• The B-plot has Pete and Scratch going on a Tampon Run for Libby.

They return with the station wagon overflowing.
  Pete: Help! I MAY have overbought...
• Darryl spends the whole episode on the phone trying to sell a giant wheel of cheese to someone who will pay in trampolines. Later, he's talking to someone who will trade him in pogo sticks.
  Darryl: Yeah, I can make it work.
• Molly's attempts to act grown-up include burying all her toys (but not without one last hug goodbye), dressing in a business outfit, trying (and failing) to style her own hair, and wearing tons of makeup. Libby and Andrea are shocked when she appears.

Davenport's On Demand

• The montage of people watching Andrea's introductory video of the Davenport's on Demand app includes the Mayor, who is distracted while feeding Goldie and burying her in fish food.
• When Molly first tries to let Andrea know about the damage her app is causing to local businesses, she's too distracted to pay much attention to her. Fast-forward to later in the episode, where Andrea learns this thanks to a protest outside her family's store, and she's distraught that Molly didn't try telling her sooner. Molly can barely get out a response as everyone else glares. This silent judgement carries over to Andrea saying she'll need help to get her laptop away from her dad.
  Molly: Leave your dad to us— (crowd glares at her) I mean me! No us! Just me! Molly McGee!
• The return of Molly's "Milly" persona to get Mr. Davenport out of the office. This time, she commits even harder to the bit, throwing in a fake accent.

• Scratch tears up a little on seeing Lord Doom go... mostly because he makes really good crudites.

• At the end of the episode, Scratch explains that everything worked out because Jeff's party was actually Geoff's party, leaving Molly utterly confused.

Frightmares on Main Street

• Libby's costume consists of getting inside a real giant pumpkin, which she starts regretting immediately, as the insides feel squishy. The pumpkin is too large for her, leading her to be trapped inside it for most of the episode.
  • As Scratch changes into his Chairman robes, he has trouble finding the sleeves, knocking Libby over in the process and sending her rolling away.
  • The Chens are about to shoot video of the Frightmares attacking, thus providing conclusive proof of the existence of ghosts, when Libby rolls along and knocks them over. Libby cries out "I'm free!", then throws up in a nearby booth from all the motion sickness.
• Ollie is hiding among some carved pumpkins set up for a Jack O' Lantern contest while spying on Molly and Scratch. He ends up getting a participation award after being mistaken for a jack o' lantern.

  Scratch: GHOST HUNTERS ARE HERE! EVERYONE PANIC!!
• Molly stalling the Chens by giving them change in pennies.
  • At some point she loses count and decides to start again, this time speaking in Japanese.
• When Geoff offers Ollie some candy, the latter rejects them thinking they are poisoned, Geoff ends up thinking they are poisoned too and dramatically tells Scratch to tell Jeff he loves him, as he already ate some and thinks he's dying, Scratch has to annoyedly remind him that he's already dead to calm him down.

  Scratch: (while getting yanked) Any chance this argument can be a little less painful for me?
• Andrea scolds a Frightmare, complaining that this is the third time ghosts have shown up to scare her and claiming that they must be obsessed with her.
• Ollie incredulously asking Molly if she seriously expects him to believe that Scratch of all ghosts is in charge of anything, much less the Frightmares terrorizing the Halloween fair. Scratch even agrees, saying he's still not used to this himself.
• After coming to truly see ghosts as not being evil and making up with Molly over his previous transgressions, Ollie joins her in booping Scratch's nose, to the latter's annoyance.
  Scratch: Molly, we've talked about this. No booping my snoop.
  Molly: Aww, but your snoop is so cute, it's gotta be booped. Boop!
  Ollie: Man, I cannot get over how squishy he is.
  Scratch: (stops them) Okay, enough! When she does it, it's cool. When you do it, it's just weird.

The Unhaunting of Brighton Video

• The episode starts with Pete declaring Brighton Video was getting remodeled into a community center. A few of the letters from the sign BRIGHTON VIDEO then fall off at a specific time and in a specific order to spell IDIOT.
• While looking for the ghost haunting the abandoned store, Ollie manages to pick up to signal of the ghost...only to run into Scratch. And by "run into", he accidentally gets his head stuck in the latter's ectoplasmic body.
• The song for the episode is a delightfully cheesy theme song for Molly's "Ghost Friends" crew. Ollie is seen repeatedly trying (and failing) to help, and Scratch makes it clear Ollie is only on the team because "I was outvoted!"
  • Also, at the end of the music number, Ollie accidentally crashes into Geoff, causing Jeff to shoot a Death Glare at him.
    Ollie: (to Geoff) My bad. (to Jeff) Sorry.
  • What makes it even funnier is when Scratch glares at the audience after Ollie accidentally lands on Geoff.
• Libby tries to get to Blair by asking what her "emotional toes" (internal problems) are, Blair mistakes it as the former asking about her toes, claiming that it sounds weird.
• Molly, Libby, and Ollie are utterly perplexed by VCRs and video tapes, with Molly trying to "scroll" a tape like it's a smartphone.
• While Ollie venting out his feelings about being a (former) ghost hunter is sad, it quickly turns funny when he starts to sob onto Scratch, much to the ghost's annoyance.
  Scratch: (Deadpan) Molly, you wanna fix him please?
  • Scratch's deadpan expression as Ollie cries into his body while Libby just stares at him in Stunned Silence adds to the scene.
  • While self-loathing, one of the things Ollie mentions is that Scratch was right about him was that not only he feels like he doesn't deserve to be a part of the "Ghost Friends" team, but he also doesn't get to do cool poses either.
• Molly and Libby eat popcorn as they watch Scratch finally accept Ollie as part of "Ghostfriends". Then spit it out because it's super stale.
  • Ollie's response to Scratch finally accepting him? "YOU HELPED ME FIND MY "EMOTIONAL TOES" SCRATCH!"

100% Molly McGee

• Scratch spends Molly's school report talking to one of the students, then realizes that the kid can't hear his "zings".
• When Scratch eats one of the seaweed chips, it's so spicy that he bursts into flame. Even Pete feels the effects of the chips, despite not eating one. ("It's in the air!")
• Molly's response to Scratch's first attempt to help her deal with her cultural woes:
  Molly: That's it!
  Scratch: See Scratch, you nailed it!
  Molly: Oh no, you definitely didn't. But, I figured out what I need to do anyway!
• When Molly is at her lowest, Scratch tries to console her by reading from a book of inspirational quotes, but the ones he chooses are all hilariously off-point.
• Darryl gets defensive when everyone stares at him for admitting he has insecurities about his Thai heritage too: "What, I'm not allowed to have complex emotions?"
• Near the end of the episode, Nin says she'd like to come up to Molly's room to help encourage her, but she doesn't want to take the ladder up to the attic. She also complains about being left out of the big family group hug at the end.

All Shark No Bite

• After their parents have left, Molly and Darryl get the DVD they were planning to watch from under the living room table, where they had hidden it by sticking it to the bottom with tape. When Scratch points out that the house doesn't have a DVD player, they reveal that they had one hidden under the couch, also with tape.
• Scratch's sea captain voice. Even he gets tired of it and abandons it.
• Molly addressing the viewing audience with a Public Service Announcement about how sharks get a bad rap, and Scratch wondering who she's talking to.
  Molly: Oh, y'know...the people.

Nin-dependence

• Pete gets Grandma Nin some flowers, but starts worrying if they're too much or too little. Eventually, the arrangement is so large Pete can hardly hold it up.
• Darryl and Nin each make Puns on Nin's name, and they're clever enough to receive compliments from other family members.
  • First, Darryl says "Nin-separable."
  Molly: Darryl, I love that pun so much, I am not-so-secretly jealous I did not come up with it first.
  • Later, Darryl says "Nin-credible."
  Molly: Two for two on the puns, Darryl!
  • And near the end, Nin says "Nin-dependence."
  Darryl: Ooh, kinda mad I didn't come up with that pun.
  Molly: You got two, Darryl, don't be greedy.
• The extreme lengths the McGees take to make Nin safe, including putting pillows around her bed, tying pillows to her feet, and Scratch acting as her "chauffeur" to the bathroom. Sharon even tries to feed her like a baby complete with "Here comes the plane".
• When she ends up falling over in the park, Nin regrets tying her cell phone to a dog during the musical number.

Like Father Like Libby

• Scratch's crossword clues acting as the Plot Device for him and Molly babysitting Libby's pet turtles.
• One of Libby's Turtles likes Atomic Pink enough that Libby made a turtle version of some of their stage makeup.
• When Libby returns home, Molly stalls in telling her that one of her turtles is still missing, just long enough for Scratch to retrieve it so she can return them all safely to her. She and Scratch believe they got away with it, but of course the ever-astute Libby saw right through it.

Dance Dad Revolution

• Everything about Pete's role as Dance Dad is hilarious to watch, until he starts to lose his way.

Jinx!

• Molly and Scratch both agree that Jinx saying "You've been me'd!" isn't quite as catchy as she seems to think it is, and is just confusing.
• It's amusing how Jinx ends up revealing how to undo the jinx she put on Scratch in the middle of her Villain Song.
• Molly's second attempt to make Jinx say Scratch's name involves getting itching powder from Darryl. He couldn't divulge where he got it, but it's "military grade."
• Right after defeating Jinx, Molly accidentally jinxes Scratch again.

Let's Play Turnipball

• When everyone is shown Ollie's turnipball "skills" in the opening, the Mayor declares "Get Your Hopes Up Too High Day".
• Ollie ends up roped into the turnipball game, and spends the whole episode confused by turnipball's weird and complicated rules.
  • He unknowingly breaks a rule where everyone must freeze and be silent when they hear the vuvuzelas play. Everyone else around him manages to follow the rule to a T, including the audience and a bird in mid-flight.
• Molly sings about how Brighton's turnipball team is determined to overturn its reputation as "clumsy" and "slow", while someone behind her gets outpaced by a snail and slips and falls in its slime.
• Scratch ends up spending the whole game in a mascot rivalry with Perfektborg's Swedish meatball mascot.
• What's the first sign that the Perfektborgers aren't as mean and ruthless as Molly was lead to believe? When they catch her sneaking into their locker room, they assume she's looking for bandages and offer her some.
• The Perfektborg team demonstrates their "game face" for Molly.
• Principal O'Connor suspects that the Perfektborg team went through their locker room when they find kringle crumbs all over the floor. When Molly confronts them about it, they tell her that they send a basket of kringles as a present. Flashback to Scratch eating the whole basket.
• Molly convinces Perfektborg to throw the game... only for Ollie to lose Brighton the game by hitting the ball into the hitherto unknown Sudden Death Zone.
• Even though Perfektborg ends up winning the game, the Brightonians are so happy the game didn't end in a shut-out they celebrate anyway, including some background characters flipping over a car.

The Ghost IS Molly McGee

• To convince Mr. Pham to stage Libby's play, Molly reveals that she greased his palm. Literally.
  Mr. Pham: What the- Did you put grease on me?
  Molly: Can Libby write the play?
  • Molly still has some grease on her hand in class, and it accidentally sticks to Libby's hand.
• Scratch is introduced dropping in on Bartholomew's desk while eating pizza. He then wipes his mouth with one of his scrolls, noting how well they absorb pizza grease.
• While the Ghost Council is on strike, Scratch tries to do Bartholomew's job and stamps a scroll. Suddenly, a ghost is propelled into the office, suffering from major Ash Face.
  Ghost: Death Valley just exploded! Did someone stamp the wrong scroll?
  • Even funnier, Scratch just wordlessly blames him by placing the stamp in his hand and leaving.
• Molly and Scratch doing mocking impersonations of each other after swapping bodies.

All in the Mind

• Scratch warns Molly about going into his subconscious. We're then shown Scratch's brain, and it somehow gives us a better understanding of Cheese.
  Scratch: I'd be careful in there. My mind has a lot of complexity.
  Scratch's Brain: I love tacos!
• There's a monkey in a business suit in Scratch's subconscious. Even he has no idea what it means.
  • Scratch's deadpan reaction to Molly doing an obvious "monkey business" joke.
• As Molly as Scratch climb a skyscraper to get to Scratch's memories, Scratch realizes he can just float up to the top, but plummets when he tries.
  Scratch: Why, subconscious? Why?

Carbon Zero Heroes

• Molly and Ollie's first act to stop global warming is to make a compost pile that's twice as tall as the house, with a neighbor complaining about the smell.
• Sharon interrupting Molly and Ollie's Imagine Spot as Carbon Zero Heroes.
• To stay carbon neutral, Molly and Ollie bike to Andrea's birthday party. Uphill. They hold up traffic and are passed by a kid in a scooter. By the time they get there, the party is over.
  • Molly gives Andrea her present, a gift-wrapped bracelet she was keeping under her helmet, which is now sopping wet with sweat.
    • While she talks to Andrea and gives the bracelet, Ollie is seen struggling to stay on his feet, since his legs have gotten numb from trying to bike uphill.
• Libby has built a shelter for a Zombie Apocalypse. Scratch thinks it's incredulous of her to believe in zombies... until Libby points out that he's a ghost.
  • Libby has zombie-proofed all her stuff — the mattress, her bike helmet, her blanket — by adding retractable spikes.
• Pete just casually stepping over the exhausted Molly and Ollie.
• The two can't eat pizza since they gave up meat and dairy, so they decide to eat turnips.
  Molly: Nature's bad, first attempt at the potato...
  Ollie: We'll have to eat them raw.
  Molly: What? Why can't we cook them?
  Ollie: The stove uses gas.
  Molly: Ooookay. Yeah, you're right.
  • When the two take a bite, both find the taste very unpleasant and Ollie tries to wash down the taste with water, from a hose.
• The Dark Reprise Distant Duet ^note  Libby interrupts a few bits of the song of "We can change Climate Change".
  Molly & Ollie: We can change Climate Change.
  Molly: I think. No! Of course, we can!
  Libby: Cans! Must hoard cans!
  Ollie: Bike riding is so pleasing!
  Molly: Cold showers aren't freezing!
  Ollie: Who needs pizza when there's...raw wheat bran? Ugh!
  Molly: It'll be easy for just two kids. You know, to change entire power grids!
  Molly & Ollie: Can we change climate change?
  Molly: You bet!
  Molly & Ollie: We can change climate change!
  Libby: Ooh, a racoon net!
  Molly: We're having some doubts, but we'll choke down more sprouts! And change us some ch-a-a-a-a-ange! Oh, wow these are delicious.
  • Some of the visuals accompanying the song are Ollie struggling to bike up a hill (causing him to roll back down), Darryl spraying Molly with a hose as an impromptu shower, the duo turning off a switch causing a blackout in Brighton and Molly shoving down turnips down her throat, to which Ollie looks on unnerved.
• What makes Scratch take climate change more seriously? The prospect of no more ice-cream.
• Molly's face when she screams at Darryl to calculate her and Ollie's carbon footprint usage.
• Darryl interrupting the duo's Happy Dance when they think they stopped climate change.
  Darryl: Uh, Molly? Not to interrupt your embarrassing theme song, but, yeah, I think you put too many zeroes in Carbon Zero Heroes.

Davenport's in Demise

• The episode opens with Mayor Brunson banning Biz Mart from building a store in Brighton. Cut to the opening of the Biz Mart store eight inches outside city limits.
• The Death Glare Andrea gives Molly when she suggests a break from social media.
• Scratch borrows one of Molly's jackets to look more "rock 'n roll". He admits the unicorn in the back kinda undercuts the look he's going for.
• When Jeff tells Scratch that he's more "soft rock" than "rock 'n roll", the rock stage in the background shatters, revealing a yacht against a sunset. In other words, Scratch is "yacht rock".

Web Of Lies

• After Darryl warns Molly and Scratch not to go in the basement, that's all they can think of, to the point that they substitute every noun for "basement".
• Molly and Scratch going nuts popping bubble wrap.
• The Running Gag of Scratch getting "paddle hands" every time he has to do hard work.
• When shoveling the grave for Darryl's spider, Scratch can barely lift a pebble with the shovel.
• Scratch throws away the shovel at the end, and it immediately hits (and kills) a bird.

Kenny's Falling Star

• Kenny's alias while in disguise is Norm L. Man.
• Scratch and Darryl selling items Kenny touched, including:
  • A used handkerchief.
  • His chest hair.
  • A fork that he breathed on.
• Sharon's attempt to get Kenny to put her in his act by nonchalantly offering her dance demo CD, which he uses as a coaster.
  • When Sharon does get to perform with Kenny, it's to play a triangle. Which she plays with all the energy of a hard rock guitar solo.
• Kenny sings about remembering how to drive a tractor...but he forgot how to brake!

Welcome to Necro Comic-Con

• Molly and Ollie agree to stop the unveiling of the Phantom Cannister for the sake of...
  Molly: All Ghost Jeffs and their many assorted spellings!
• One of the items on sale at Necro Comic-Con is a ghost plushie that says, "I will devour your soul!" in a cutesy voice.
• Among the swag Scratch picks up is a tote bag identical to the one he's already using.
• Molly gets a little confused by all the nicknamed maneuvers Ollie has in his plan, like the "Lonely Armadillo".
• Scratch gets frustrated with Ernie the hipster ghost blogger beating him at ghost trivia and reveals himself to be an actual ghost... but everyone thinks he's wearing a second costume under his first one, and his angry outburst just gets him escorted out by security.
• Ollie tries to explain to his parents that some ghosts might actually be kind and compassionate. Then the camera pans over to Scratch who is wrestling with a security guard right behind Ollie.
• When June is formally introduced to Scratch, she wants to do experiments on him. Scratch is more interested in doing an experiment on how many tacos he can eat.

Fit to Print

• The teacher supervising the school newspaper is heavily implied to be hungover, sleeping on his desk and asking the students to keep the noise down.
• Before asking Flavor Burger to sell an ad on the paper, the only other person Molly could get was Weird Larry and his skunk sitting business.
• Darryl apparently fed Molly some information as a source for the Bugle. It is implied that he acquired the information through some shady, if not illegal, methods. However, we never find out what either those methods or the information itself were.
  Molly: (on phone) We always protect our sources at the Bugle. Especially when it's my brother. (realizes mistake, pulls out her cell phone) Darryl, I don't know how, but I think they're onto you...
• When Molly reveals the truth about Flavor Burger's new "turnip-burger" (that they're actually made of parsnips from Perfektborg), there's a montage of outraged Brightonians destroying their burgers in over-the-top ways and organizing a protest. Then there's Sharon, who's not as caught up in the Small Town Rivalry as the others and just shrugs and continues eating her burger.

Smile Valley Farm

• Scratch complains that the McGees playing Smile Valley Farm interferes with making him dinner, "the most important meal of the day, tied with all the others."
• Pete brags that playing so much Smile Valley Farm has given him a Green Thumb... quite literally. The rest of his family is disgusted and thinks he should get that looked at.
• The return of Scratch's Plan B hand puppet.
• During the song, Scratch tries playing Smile Valley Farm in the Ghost World, but since they only have access to obsolete technology there, Scratch is forced to use agonizingly-slow dial-up.
• When the fad for Smile Valley Farm dies out in Brighton, poor Sharon is left with dozens upon dozens of virtually-worthless blind-bag figurines that she literally can't even give away.

The Grand Gesture

• Libby and Scratch put together a message of balloons spelling "OLLIE WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND?" Then an angry woodpecker interferes, popping the exact combination of balloons to change the message to "OLLIE YOU FIEND". When Molly sees what happened, she hastily distracts Ollie before he can see the sign.
• Darryl and June behaving like parents regarding the ectoplasm creature they've created. Realizing that he's become like his parents causes Darryl to freak out.

The Many Lives of Scratch

• During the song, one of the visuals is of Scratch delivering his death story as a DED talk.
  • Just the song in general. It's pure Black Comedy at its finest!
• Geoff's story is about Scratch and him being a famous jazz duo, which is just one long gush session about how great their friendship is, concluding with the President (Libby) declaring their friendship the greatest of all time. Scratch points out that he never got to the part where he died, which was supposed to be the whole point.
• Libby's story is a Fractured Fairy Tale where Scratch rescues his sister (played by Molly) from a wicked witch living up a beanstalk, only to get in a dance-off with some werewolves.
  • When Molly says she was trapped in a house made of candy, Scratch wants to go back up the beanstalk.
• Scratch asks Libby to give him rock-hard abs in her story, but she never gets around to it. Later, Sharon's story has Scratch boxing against Pete, who rips off his shirt to reveal a muscular torso; Scratch's response: "Seriously, he gets abs?"
• Sharon is clearly not dealing well with the centipede infestation in the basement, stomping a few stray ones during Darryl's story set in "Centipede World", and again at the end of the episode.

Alaka-Sham!

• Molly turns out to know close-up magic herself. Her only explanation is "Know your enemy, Darryl. Know! Your! Enemy!"
• The episode ends with Molly declaring Let Us Never Speak of This Again and flying up and out of view with no explanation. Scratch is left bewildered.

F.O.N.A.A.!

• Molly's fearful ramblings about Toothy.
  Molly: He is a tooth with teeth! It's unnatural! Is he gonna use that toothbrush on his teeth, or himself? Do his teeth have teeth? Where does it end?
• Scratch is confident that this curse won't backfire — after all, they hardly ever do.
• Sharon's brief, sudden piece to camera with the caption "SHARON'S MOM TIPZ".
  Sharon: Ah, whatever gets the job done. (to camera) That's Parenting 101!
• The first thing Molly does when she gets home from the dentist is to let Darryl's spider Heidi crawl all over her, including into her mouth.
  Darryl: This is the strangest thing I've ever seen, and you live with a ghost.
• As Molly tells off Mr. Bates, the woodshop teacher, she says that she won't make any more poorly constructed bird houses. Cut to Pete looking out the window to one of Molly's bird houses as it falls and crashes to the ground, leading to yet another bird ghost.
• Darryl has his own office in detention.
• One of the many fears that no longer holds Molly back is fear of displaying public affection... which leads to Molly passionately kissing Ollie in public, multiple times, much to everyone's discomfort. And judging by the look on his face, it looked like Ollie was flattered and embarrassed at the same time.
• Scratch's argument for why he doesn't want Molly dead:
  Scratch: Also, it would cramp this whole "live girl, dead ghost" dynamic we got going on. It'd be like, "The Ghost and The Ghost of Molly McGee." I mean, it's just samey-samey. That's putting a hat on a hat.
• After Molly has to go to the dentist again, Scratch resolves to stop cursing people. Then Sharon asks to be cursed into being a rock star.
  Scratch: What is with this family?

Game On

• Molly allows Scratch to play by possessing only the left side of her body because she is normally uncoordinated there. In practice, it only makes her coordination worse.
  • To show how uncoordinated her left half is, Molly attempts to high-five Scratch, but slaps him on the face instead.
    Molly: You'll get it someday, Lefty.
  • When it complicates her attempt to create an avatar, her sprite jerks randomly across the screen to reflect the issues with her coordination.
• Somehow, Scratch also has a sprite in the game attached to Molly's sprite.
• Libby spends most of the game making friends with the NPCs, learning their backstories and giving them gifts. It ends up coming in handy when Libby is able to convince them to help fight the final boss.

White Christmess

• The episode opens on Scratch eating from a gingerbread house.
  Molly: Scratch, that's for Santa!
  Scratch: Well, Santa's getting a fixer upper.
• The weather app on Molly's phone predicts 99% chance of snow, but as the episode goes on, the percentage goes lower and lower until it reaches -5%.
• Scratch tries to remember what Molly wants for Christmas, but a flashback shows that when she was telling him, Scratch was too preoccupied with a bad burrito to listen. Later, he does it again with Geoff and his plan to get Molly a present.
• Darryl couldn't get a reindeer for the Christmas village at the senior center, but gets a llama instead, trying to pass her off as Britta the Llama, who took over for Rudolph after he sprained an ankle.
• Pete catches a snowflake on his tongue, but spits it out when he sees Scratch's face on it.

Perfect Day

• Molly saying, "Is there a way to hit restart?" just like in the title song, complete with the video scrub graphic appearing.
  • Followed by Scratch grabbing her hand and saying, "Nope!" with the smuggest smile on his face. You can just tell he's been waiting to do that for a while.
• Darryl got a pancake machine for the family, but it can't stop shooting them because it has No Off Button — the three buttons read "on", "more on" and "∞".
• A montage of redos includes Molly going to jail and Darryl dying and becoming a ghost, none of which is explained.

Jinx vs. The Human World

• June interrupting the "GhostFriends" montage to ask for some spectranium-238, while everyone else struggles to hold their poses.
• Who's responsible for scaring Ruben as a child? It's Geoff.
• During "Give Me Joy", Sharon states that the thing that gives her joy is coupons, but upon hearing Pete saying "my wife" as his joy, she hastily changes hers.
  Sharon: Wait, wait I wanna change mine!! Pete! Pete! My husband. I said coupons but I meant Pete!
  • Also during the song, Esther lists one thing that gives her joy; wanting grandkids to Ollie's shock.

The End

• When Scratch thinks he unlocked his memories by eating funnel cakes, Geoff tries to shove a bunch of them down his throat trying to remember what the keys he just remembered where he put them are for. Libby and Ollie have to do the Heimlich Maneuver on him to prevent him from choking, even though he's already dead.
• Although the song "Maybe next Time" is supposed to be sobering, there's something comically out of place about Scratch mentioning "On the other hand, they were very tasty nachos", as though somehow they were a legitimate case for why he didn't go travelling the world with Adia.

Other

The Ghost and Molly McGee's Spring Shorts-tacular

• After the Chibi Tiny Tales short featuring Grandma Alice and Doofenshmirtz, Libby is in shock over the reveal at the end. Scratch is still too focused on the mystery egg to the point of rambling what it could possibly be. Molly says he will be talking for a while before cutting to the next short.
• Molly gets ready to start a set of shorts focusing on Launchpad McQuack. Scratch attempts to use this moment to try and get the mystery egg only for Molly to lift it, causing him to fly and crash offscreen. After the last short in that set that involves Launchpad asking Baymax for Pizza, the short rubs off on Scratch.
  Scratch: Great. Now I want pizza... Is there pizza in the mystery egg?
  • Molly then asks Scratch why he wouldn't be more interested in having a personal healthcare robot like Baymax. Scratch is pretty blunt on his answer. He then transitions to more shorts starring Baymax, referring to him as the marshmallow guy.
    Scratch: I don't think Baymax could do much for me. On account of me being de-
    Molly: I got it.
• Scratch gets some cue cards made up for Libby to read. Molly is not amused.
  Libby: (reading cue cards) Gee. I wish could call a person in the future. I would ask if the mystery egg was worth the wait, or if Molly squandered Scratch's precious naptime like a sneaky-
  Molly: Hey! I control the cue cards!
• Following the High School Musical Chibi short, Scratch gets a literal Ear Worm.
• The final short is a Chibi Tiny Tales of Molly and Scratch themselves. Molly adores the short. Scratch? Not so much.
  Molly: Aw Scratch. You look so cute as a little chibi.
  Scratch: That short was my nightmare!

Theme Song Takeovers

• Andrea Theme Song Takeover:
  • Andrea does the takeover because she heard Molly has a show and is convinced that she'll be doing Molly a favor by taking on the hard work of having a TV show for a while.
  • Partway during the song, Molly sardonically chimes with a joke lyric about Andrea having a private yacht, only for Andrea to emphatically repeat it and confirm that she does have one.
    Molly: Seriously!?
  • Despite their distaste for her taking over the show, both Scratch and Molly begrudgingly admit that they're "fandreas". Scratch snarks that he's already subscribed to her socials when Andrea sings for the audience to smash the "follow" button, and Molly can't help but to give Andrea's concurrent livestream of the intro a heart.
  • When asked by Molly to use her platform as a means to spread awareness about important issues like animal conservation, Andrea wholeheartedly agrees. And proceeds to raise awareness about children who don't have their own pet ponies, with her livestream viewers sharing her dismay that such a thing is even possible.
• Libby Theme Song Takeover:
  • Libby explains to Molly that she can't do a Takeover... by doing an entire musical number. When Molly points out at the end that what she just did counts as doing the Takeover, Libby is filled with immense pride, then promptly passes out.
  • Partway through the song, Molly compliments Libby's singing voice, before becoming confused once she recalls that Libby shouldn't be this musically gifted.
    Molly: I had no idea you could sing like that! I thought we... did a whole episode about how you... can't really sing?
    Libby: Oh, sweet Molly. This is a Theme Song Takeover. It's not canon, it's fantasy!
  • Early on, Scratch complains about having to drag the Theme Song Takeover logo to Libby for "reasons he's still unsure of". After Libby completes the song, he complains about him and Molly having to do it again...as one of Libby's turtles passes them.
• Darryl Theme Song Takeover:
  • Molly refuses to let Darryl use her theme song to promote his scams...until she realizes Scratch gave him the go-ahead upon being bribed with a large ice cream cone.
  • Darryl's scams include;
    • Selling Molly's room to a guy named Chuck, to her and Scratch's ire.
    • Bootlegging DVD's of cartoon ripoffs, including "DuckStories", "Reptilia", "The Hoot Home", and "The Ghoul and Holly Hugee".
    • Selling Kitten NFT's (he doesn't know what NFT's are^*Non-Fungible Tokens and just sells gifs of his head on a kitten body farting and puking rainbows) for 10 bucks. Molly buys three and her phone instantly gets a virus.
    Darryl: All sales are final!
    • An literal pyramid scheme, as in selling an actual pyramid that he totally owns.
  • During the song, he sells a van that's only been in one crash. At the end of the song, Molly gets a text from Pete about Principal O'Connor wanting to see Darryl since he sold him the van. Darryl immediately escapes. Molly is ticked that he bailed from taking responsibilty for his actions while Scratch is proud he did.
