'''Gang Members:''' Oh, dee doo dah day!\\

* In "My Big Brother", after 3J pays $50 to a trio of bullies [[note]]It was actually money that he ''pickpocketed'' from them earlier[[/note]], Steve asks him, "Why did you give those three hyenas from ''Disney/TheLionKing'' all that money?!"

** Later on Waldo challenges Estelle and initially wins playing as the ninja, until Estelle changes her character to Steve Urkel and makes a comeback.

* Carl has a dream of being a sheriff in the Old West with Urkel as a notorious gunman. Whenever someone mentions "Two Gun Urkel," a dramatic organ music cue plays with everyone looking around in confusion. After it plays for the fifth time, Urkel declares "Let's get together a posse and track down that dang orchestra!" Even better: After Carl wakes up, he and Steve have a nice talk, the soundtrack doing the usual "heartwarming theme"....and they both look around baffled "Where is that coming from?" The episode ends with them looking around for the source.
* Steve tells Eddie he created a new single-celled life form with high intelligence. And what does Eddie see in the microscope? Amoebas with Steve's face!

--> '''Harriette''': "What's that big blob?"
* In the episode "Baker's Dozen", after trying Carl's secret family recipe, Lemon Tarts, Rachel thought of the idea of selling them. Carl thought it's a great idea, until he learns he has to make 12,000 tarts by the coming Monday. So everyone (except Harriet) start making the tarts. But after a few hours, they only made several hundreds. Due to the stress of it all, a misunderstanding caused a food fight between Carl and Rachel. Rachel accidentally threw flour at Laura, who then tries to get back at her with more flour. Eddie yells "{{food fight}}!" and starts throwing some tarts at Carl ("You wouldn't dare!"), then he [[PieInTheFace throws some back]]. It escalates, until they were interrupted by Urkel, who asked if there's anything to eat. Everyone throws some tarts at him before resuming their fight. When Harriette shows up to stop them...

''(Carl and Rachel quickly stuck their tongues out at each other.)''\\

'''Urkel:''' No Waldo, state your name, ''not'' name your state.\\

-->'''Steve:''' Laura, I think I can take this guy!
-->'''Laura:''' Steve, he has a gun. He'll shoot you and you'll die. ''[{{Beat}}]'' [[AbhorrentAdmirer Go for it]]!

--> '''Laura:''' Why didn't you ask me instead of being somebody that you're not?
--> '''Stefan:''' Because I'm... [[SelfDeprecation Stupid.]]

-->'''Laura:''' First he put on that stupid kilt. Then he made a stupid bet that he could bowl a stupid strike with his stupid foot. Then he got his stupid TOE caught in the stupid ball!
-->'''Steve:''' Well, it could have happened to anyone.
-->'''Laura:''' Oh, don't be stupid!

-->'''Laura Urkel:''' Did I do that?
-->'''Harriette:''' Yeah. And I'm 'bout to do this COME HERE! ''(lunges at her, Carl and Eddie hold her back)''

-->'''Steve:''' Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm. Gun, Carl. Gun, Carl. Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm. Pull your gun right now!
-->'''Carl:''' I didn't bring my gun. I don't know what to say.
-->'''Steve:''' What the heck is wrong with you?
-->'''Gang Members:''' Oh, dee doo dah day!

--> '''''FOOD FIGHT!'''''
--> (Cue all the other students in the cafeteria picking up food and throwing it at others)

--> '''Carl''': Steve, why did you come here?
--> '''Steve''': To try and convince the agent that I'm not a hazard.
--> '''Carl''': [[SarcasmMode Well, it looks like you're doing a good job]].

* Steve's imagination sequence where he, dressed as Superman for Halloween, beats up a bank robber.
** Right beforehand, there's this exchange:
--->'''Steve:''' Laura, I think I can take this guy!
--->'''Laura:''' Steve, he has a gun. He'll shoot you and you'll die. ''[{{Beat}}]'' [[AbhorrentAdmirer Go for it]]!

** [[HilariousInHindsight The whole segment becomes even funnier after you remember that Warner Bros. bought Midway and all of its [=IP=] in 2010, including]] ''Franchise/MortalKombat''.

* Laura, Harriette, Rachel and Estelle all try a new shampoo from a shady company...that makes them bald the next day. And what does it say on the label? "You'll love how your hair comes out."
-->'''Lil Richie''': Well, you can't get 'em for false advertising!

* Laura agrees to sell some hair products and the women in the house all use shampoo. The next morning, Laura, Harriett, Estelle and Rachel all find they've gone bald. The way Carl, Eddie and the rest barely hold it together is even funnier.
** Rachel reads a label off the bottle.

--'''Steve:''' Hey, I appreciate and admire ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunny'', but there are ''some'' places Bugs Bunny shouldn't be!

* On the first episode with Myrtle, Steve attempts to serenade Laura with his accordion. HilarityEnsues.
--> '''Rachel:''' Well, it's more like Steve's playing caused the neighbors to throw bricks at his house.

'''Steve:''' Startling, isn't it?
'''Eddie:''' Steve, don't let them escape.

** And then it becomes a MoodWhiplash TearJerker moment when it's revealed that the reason Steve sleepwalks and hits Carl with the newspaper was because Carl got angry at Steve one time for breaking his model shop and said that he hated him. But he didn't know Steve heard him say that.

-->'''Carl''': Three-two-ONE! One-two-THREE! What the HECK is bothering ME?!?.........'''YOU!!!''' ''(Steve screams and runs for his car.)'' '''YOU'RE WHAT'S BOTHERING ME!!!!''' ''(Starts shouting angry gibberish and chases after Steve and starts banging on the car, attempts to reach into the sun roof only for Steve to close it on his fingers. '''Then he starts shaking the car, making the airbag pop out!''')''

* The episode where Urkel ''builds an atom bomb'' and [[NukeEm detonates it]].

* One episode has Carl and Estelle playing a ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' spin-off with an elderly grandma fighting a ninja. Just hearing the "Grandma Wins!" in the deep MK voice makes the whole thing worth it.

* In the episode "Baker's Dozen", after trying Carl's secret family recipe, Lemon Tarts, Rachel thought of the idea of selling them. Carl thought it's a great idea, until he learns he has to make 12,000 tarts by the coming Monday. So everyone (except Harriet) start making the tarts.

* In "The Party", where Carl, Harriette, Rachel, and Carl's mother are on their way to Sheboygan.

'''Carl:''' [[SarcasmMode They had to beat that out of you didn't they]]?

'''Carl:''' ''(laughing nervously)'' See Harriet? [[ItMakesSenseInContext I'm the only one who knows this shortcut.]]

-->'''Carl''': Three-two-ONE! One-two-THREE! What the HECK is bothering ME?!?.........'''YOU!!!''' ''(Steve screams and runs for his car.)'' '''YOU'RE WHAT'S BOTHERING ME!!!!''' ''(Starts shouting angry gibberish and chases after Steve and starts banging on the car, attempts to reach into the sun roof only for Steve to close it on his fingers. '''Then he starts shaking the car, making airbag pop out.''')''

-->'''Carl''': Three-two-ONE! One-two-THREE! What the HECK is bothering ME?!?.........YOU!!!

* "The Looney Bin" finds Steve and Carl trapped in the school's old bomb shelter with janitor Alfred [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY Looney. It's French.]] What's worse, they're trapped over a three-day weekend, meaning ostensibly, no one will find them until Tuesday. Ever-optimistic, Steve and Loonay decide to pass the time singing show tunes. They urge the increasingly angry Carl to join in, who does, with this:

** When Urkel first sees Laura with the mask on, he thinks that's she looks like "Creator/JimCarrey in ''Film/TheMask''". He then proceeds to imitate Carrey's "Somebody stop me!" in what can only be described as the wildest, deepest voice he's ever had in the show!

'''Carl:''' ''(laughing nervously)'' See Harriet? [[CallBack I'm the only one who knows this shortcut]].

--> '''Rachel:''' "Well, it's more like Steve's playing caused the neighbors to throw bricks at his house."

* The three-part {{Disaster Dominoes}} building up to Steve and Myra's first kiss, with him making a mess of setting up folding chairs until he throws one into the grill, fumbling around her backyard furniture until he breaks a window, and finally struggling with her hammock.
* Carl has a dream of being a sheriff in the Old West with Urkel as a notorious gunman. Whenever someone mentions "Two Gun Urkel," a dramatic organ music cue plays with everyone looking around in confusion. After it plays for the fifth time, Urkel declares "Let's get together a posse and track down that dang orchestra!"

* In "The Party", where Carl, Harriet, Rachel, and Carl's mother are on their way to Sheboygan.

* The sequence in "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Urkel", where Laura's guardian angel switches Steve and her's lives so they become Steve Winslow and Laura Urkel. This leads to Carl and Harriette's roles being reversed as Harriette is the one who tries to hurt Laura after she destroys Harriette's gingerbread house:

--> ''Harriette:''' Yeah. And I'm 'bout to do this COME HERE! ''(lunges at her, Carl and Eddie hold her back)''

-->'''Carl:''' "I have a gun. I just might shoot you...if you don't stop...with the singing! [[SuddenlyShouting No jury will convict me!]]

--> '''Carl''': Steve, why did you come here.

--> '''Carl''': [[SarcasmMode Well, it looks like your doing a good job]].
