** Jem's naming party for his and Madge's new baby daughter. The girls make various suggestions, such as 'Esmeralda', 'Ottilie', 'Anstice' and 'Prudence', all of which are pooh-poohed by Joey (whose own suggestion is 'Malvina'). Even the little kids get in on it: Peggy suggests 'Florentina' after her doll, Rix suggests 'Tibby' and David Russell's idea is 'Wufie'. After [[BigFriendlyDog Rufus]]. It turns out to be AllForNothing anyway as Madge decides to name the baby Sybil.

** Joey falling off a ladder and landing on Miss Wilson while the girls are building their stalls for the Fairy Tale Sale (in Joey's case, she's running the bric-a-brac stall, which is based on Snow White's cottage). Miss Wilson wonders aloud if Joey is out to get her. Joey says later that this is the first time in the school's history that anyone's managed to 'suppress Bill'.

* The awkward moment ''The Chalet Girls in Camp'' when Joey falls into a pit and unknowingly calls Miss Wilson an idiot when Miss Wilson goes to check on her.
** Joey, Grizel and Juliet going fishing early in the morning and hooking what they think is a dead body, and Joey feeling so sick she has to be given brandy. Some local men go out to drag the lake and find the body...except it's actually an artist's model dumped in the lake by its owner. Everyone naturally thinks this is hilarious, except Joey and friends.
** The Quartette being confronted with a slippery grass slope...and deciding to slide down it on their arses. Naturally, the other girls follow their lead and the mistresses are ''not'' impressed.
** Elsie Carr and friends' [[EpicFail attempt]] at laundry when Cyrilla Maurus, Princess Elisaveta and Paula von Rothenfels fall into a pond, get covered in weed and run out of clean clothes, prompting Miss Wilson to decide that the girls will need to start taking Domestic Science classes so they can learn basic housework skills. Elsie, Cornelia Flower and Evadne Lannis also insist on giving them a really nasty dose which includes gregory powder, syrup of figs and senna - all of which are ''laxatives'' - in case they swallowed anything poisonous.

* In ''Bride Leads'', the prefects are brainstorming ideas for the Sale. Dora Robson suggests a flower-related Sale and when Tom Gay protests that she'd make a terrible flower, Dora suggests she dress up as a sunflower. Lesley Malcolm suggests a sale with a fruit theme and that Tom dress up as a ''banana'', and when another girl proposes a nursery rhyme sale, Lesley insists on being the Cow That Jumped Over the Moon and refuses to be anything else. Bride gets annoyed with them for mucking around when they're supposed to be thinking of ideas, and then suddenly exclaims "Eureka!" and funs off. The other prefects immediately joke that she's gone mad and could be dangerous, and grab pokers, tongs and other household instruments to defend themselves. Bride's reaction is basically '[=WTF=]'.

The other teachers all dress up as famous figures from history, such as Napoleon, Florence Nightingale and General Garibaldi, and troll the girls by singing a song about various stupid things the girls have done, such as Simone giving herself a haircut in ''The School at the Chalet'' and Maria Marani sticking her head through a chair in ''The Chalet School and Jo''. And three of the teachers fall off the stage and carry on as if nothing has happened.

* At the end of ''New House'', Cornelia and Evadne get hold of some instruments from their rich parents - including a saxophone, a bugle, some ukeleles, various percussion instruments and a jew's harp - and form the St Clare's Orchestral Society with their classmates, none of whom can actually ''play'' the instruments. Joey and Frieda find out when they follow Joyce Linton and discover the girls holding a practice, where Cornelia's sax playing is [[DreadfulMusician so bad Frieda initially thinks it's an angry bull]]. The band hold an end-of-term concert and decide to finish off with a bizarre version of 'Land of Hope & Glory', which has the teachers either holding their ears or in hysterics.
