History Funny / GoodEats

* The first "Egg Files" episode sees Alton sneaking into a diner kitchen to teach the audience how to properly fry eggs over-easy. He is soon accosted by the diner's head chef who demands Alton to get out (the first in a series-long set of [[RunningGag running gags]]). The chef's redneck accent and missing teeth are funny enough, but what sends the sketch over the edge is where Alton tries to demonstrate the difference between a raw and hard-boiled egg, the chef grabs the raw egg and crushes it in his hand, sending yolk and albumen all over the both of them. AB's flinch [[{{Corpsing}} sends everyone behind the camera audibly laughing]] and the chef's actor (Steve Rooney) corpsing as Alton calmly walks off set.

* Season One, Episode Three has a moment during a sketch of Alton sneaking into a diner kitchen to teach the audience how to properly fry eggs over-easy when he is accosted by the actual chef of the diner telling him to get out (the first in a series-long set of [[RunningGag running gags]]). The chef's redneck accent and missing teeth are funny enough, but what sends the sketch over the edge is where Alton tries to demonstrate the difference between a raw and hard-boiled egg, the chef grabs the raw egg and crushes it in his hand, sending yolk and albumen all over the both of them. AB's flinch sends everyone behind the camera audibly laughing and the chef's actor corpsing as Alton calmly walks off set.
* The pocket pie episode has Alton explaining the history of Cornish pasties, quoting a bit of folklore claiming the devil wouldn't go to Cornwall for fear he'd get baked into a pastie. The devil appears and denies this, only to get chased off-screen and beaten up by a pair of Cornish housewives.

* In the punch episode, Alton is at a dry wedding at some church hall, where the "punch" consists of ginger ale and sherbet. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent While he's talking]], a little old lady comes in and spikes the punch, and begins handing out cups of it to everyone.

* From the ''Oat Cuisine'' (the first one) episode: Alton Brown (in a goofy fantasy sequence with a bumbling assistant) shows us how to make haggis (which contains oats as an ingredient). Both guys are outdoors depicting themselves as bargain-basement ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'' clones in silly wigs and kilts. Alton speaks with [[JustAStupidAccent an over-the-top fake Scottish accent]]. It's all pretty silly. In addition, Alton admitted on the 10th anniversary special that they accidentally filmed that scene on top of a yellowjacket nest.
** The second oat episode, where he focuses on the health benefits of oats, opens with Alton dressed as his "brother" Dr. Xavier Brown trying to sell a health book titled ''Eat Oats Or Die Screaming''.
* He often says things like "don't buy what you can make", so it's funny when in the meatloaf episode he confesses (in an ashamed tone) that he bought garlic croutons to put into his meatloaf.
* In the weight loss episode, Alton's lawyers have him on the couch making him read statements that he isn't a doctor or otherwise qualified to be giving people real dieting advice while a doctor (whom Alton is quick to point out isn't a doctor either, but the cameraman) is behind the couch running tests on Alton. The second they hear his GloveSnap behind them, Alton and the lawyers all look at each other in horror and run for it.

* In "Fruit 10 From Outer Space," the Dungeon Master recommends a blender to AB for juicing pomegranates. When Alton comments on how he doesn't recognize the blender, the Dungeon Master replies, "It's mine. [[{{Squick}} For goldfish]]." After a few seconds of silence, [[INeedToGoIronMyDog Alton claims to hear his mom calling]].
* In the Reloaded version of “Fry Hard”, Alton starts to explain that Marsha is not his sister, when Marsha and several tv family members walk in, only to proceed to troll him by claiming he’s just being mean to them, despite the fact that he’s an only child.

* Episode 1 of ''Good Eats: The Return'' kicks off the return of the show with ''American Classic: Chicken Parm'', served up by Alton with a bit of SelfDeprecation and a little subtle TakeThat involving a certain other Food Network show related MemeticMutation while giving the list of breading ingredients he'll be using for the Chicken Parmesan.

* In the Reloaded episode of "Use Your Noodle", Alton recalls an accident he had with a Vespa scooter during filming. Cue re-enactment with flailing puppets.

** When they first show up, Alton justifies the change by explaining that all yeast do normally is eat, produce gas and reproduce, not act silly and goofy. [[BrickJoke The new yeasts then spend the rest of the episode reproducing rapidly until they're literally pouring out of every nook and cranny in the kitchen.]]

* At one point while advising how to buy a propane tank, he suggests strapping it into a child's car seat to keep it from rolling around the car. At the end he asks "Where do the kids go? What do you think the trunk's for?" and drives off laughing.

* In "Roll Call" Alton replaces his usual more lively yeast puppets with "more realistic" ones. They consists of stuffed socks that sit there, leading to Alton's frustration.
