The last one comes from Cassie making up a name less likely to draw parental disapproval when she wanted to get an [[NineInchNails NIN]] CD.

* When the future Visser One first finds Earth, she begins investigating by picking up some of the numerous transmissions zipping around the planet... and absolutely ''panics'' when she picks up an episode of ''StarTrek'', not realizing that it's a TV show and thinking that humans were a lot more advanced than we actually are.
* The group takes Ax (in human morph) to see a ''StarTrek'' movie. Ax is very confused by the experience, claiming that the ''Enterprise'' is a stupid-looking spaceship ("I know what a ''real'' spaceship looks like!") and stating that Klingons are actually females of some species he has seen before. And then he gets distracted by the numerous "globules" (candies) littering the theater floor.

--->Marco: Well. There's a happy thought.
* In "The Sickness", Marco passes the time while helping to carry an extremely sick Jake back home by listing all the ways to say 'throwing up'. It is funnier than it sounds.
** Later on, after all the characters have gotten over the titular alien sickness, they talk about what they did while sick. After the rest of them complain about being too sick to get out of bed, throwing up all the time, having an alien inside their head, and such, Tobias reminds them that, since he's always in the form of a hawk, and that Cassie's father, a vet, tried to stick a pill [[GoshdangItToHeck up-]]
*** Tobias is funny in general in that one. When he first gets sick, after being the only one besides Cassie not to, Cassie's forced to put him in a cage until her dad can treat him, next to an Eagle, which his hawk instincts aren't so happy with. [[SnarkyNonHumanSidekick We can tell he's not amused]], the whole thing is hilarious.
* In The Andalite Chronicles: The mental image of Elfangor driving across the Taxxon homeworld full-speed in a YELLOW MUSTANG while DRINKING DR. PEPPER THROUGH HIS HOOF and LISTENING TO THE ROLLING STONES may well be one of the funniest things in science fiction.
** When Loren kicks Chapman where - as Elfangor dexcribesit - his legs merge together to meet the rest of his body. Elfangor comments "I believe this kick was painful to him."
* Not to mention Ax eating popcorn (including it's container) and concluding it tastes quite a bit like motor oil.
