[[caption-width-right:350:"I feel...dirty."]]

[[caption-width-right:350:Meta Knight: powerful Star Warrior, can't fight against basic slapstick.]]

** All of the animation looks like [[StylisticSuck it was drawn by a five-year-old]], with the last few scenes of the episode not even having color or backgrounds (and, in the very final shots, being ripped straight from the storyboard)--except for one scene, [[AnimationBump which is inexplicably rendered in a highly-detailed,]] [[Anime/JojosBizarreAdventure Jojo-esque]] style. Some fans believe Meta Knight drew this part.

(''The Tank reverses off a nearby cliff and [[EveryCarIsAPinto explodes off-screen]]'')

** The two parents discuss Fofa's origin in private, only to learn that Kirby was listening to the whole thing, and starts saying ''"Lololo...Lalala...Fofa!"'' The two's reactions are what sells it. Sir Ebrum [[OhCrap stares wide-eyed]] while Lady Like just glares at Kirby as if she's thinking HeKnowsTooMuch. The next time we see them, they've taped Kirby's mouth shut, and he doesn't seem the least bit bothered.

'''Sword:''' (''Backpedaling'') He...[[BlatantLies he was saying your cookings beyond compare!]]\\

** It's even funnier in the original Japanese version because that's '''''NOT''''' the reason Kirby gets mad at him. The real reason is because [[spoiler: Dedede ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice drew Kirby shitting himself!]]'' Apparently, Kirby is appalled at the idea of him pooping.]]

* When Kabu predicts the arrival of the Star Warrior who will save Dreamland, Fumu/Tiff imagines a handsome knight in shining armor and gets heart-eyes. ("Kirby... Hmm, bet he's cute!") Then, when she sees what Kirby actually looks like, her preferred image ''shatters''.

* Dedede's [[BlackComedy twisted version]] of "Old [=MacDonald=]" from ''Kirby's Egg-cellent Adventure'', which he sings [[MotorMouth at a ridiculous speed]] as he's using his tank to draw a giant picture of Kirby eating [[GiantFlyer Dyna Blade]]'s egg (Complete with big goofy grin and oversized knife and fork) to get the giant bird to attack him:

** The two parents discuss Fofa's origin in private, only to learn that Kirby was listening to the whole thing, and starts saying ''"Fololo...Falala...Fofa!"'' The two's reactions are what sells it. Sir Ebrum [[OhCrap stares wide-eyed]] while Lady Like just glares at Kirby as if she's thinking HeKnowsTooMuch. The next time we see them, they've taped Kirby's mouth shut, and he doesn't seem the least bit bothered.

** NME, Nightmare, the BigBad who causes so much suffering in the series, [[EvilLaugh laughing maniacally]] [[NotSoAboveItAll after telling the Salesman to cheat Dedede out of his money with a bad deal]] is certainly something.

* When Kirby has a nightmare in "The Pillow Case" (the very end), he jumps out of his bed Creator/HannaBarbera style screaming and runs out his house, then stops when he realizes he's awake. Meta Knight also cuts a pillow in half; revealing Noddy, the episode's NME monster.

** In the original Japanese version, Meta Knight states that the situation is terrible, since the MonsterOfTheWeek is taking every word as an insult. Tiff points out how he used the word "Terrible" resulting in Meta Knight [[NotSoStoic freaking out briefly]]. The subtitles for this episode actually misinterpret him as saying "[[CurseCutShort Oh, shi-!]]", making the scene even funnier if you act like he actually is.

** It's even funnier in the original version because that's '''''NOT''''' the reason Kirby gets mad at him. The real reason is because [[spoiler: Dedede ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice drew Kirby shitting himself!]]'' Apparently, Kirby is appalled at the idea of him pooping.]]

** Also, when Tiff goes off-script to criticize Kirby being made the villain, her cartoon self's lip flaps ([[StylisticSuck for lack of a better word]]) match up with her speech perfectly. It's possible Dedede knew she would complain about it and [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat wrote it into]] [[ThrowItIn the script]]. Actually, for the whole argument they have, all the character's lines are perfectly in-sync with the cartoon. Even when Tiff tells Kirby that Dedede cheated them, the cartoon depicts Tiff talking to the giant, monstrous Kirby, who simply looks at the screen with malice before attacking Dedede when Kirby reacts.

* Tiff's reaction to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynRbrArgink seeing herself get turned into an anime]] (''The Tiff Show'') in ''Tooned Out''.

* In the episode "Power Ploy", Kirby is about to be eaten by the MonsterOfTheWeek... then Kawasaki tosses a bottle of Power Up D into his mouth and [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/935/400/75b.gif Kirby gets SWOLE]]. It looks as ridiculous as you'd expect.

'''Sword:''' Smells delicious, don't it? Of course, anything would smell good compared to [[HiddenDepths Meta Knight's]] [[LethalChef cooking!]]\\
'''Blade:''' Sir Ebrum's alright.\\

'''Sword:''' (''Backpedaling'') He...[[BlatantLies he was saying that your cooking was beyond compare!]]\\
'''Blade:''' He's alright sir, ain't he?\\

-->'''Lady Like:''' (''screams'') THE SUN'S RAYS ARE MOLLIFYING ME! (''[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall suddenly turns to and points at the audience as the background music stops]]'') '''STOP STARING AT ME!''' (''immediately goes back to panicking as the background music resumes'')
* Tiff's reaction to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynRbrArgink seeing herself get turned into an anime]] (''The Tiff Show'') in ''Tooned Out''.

** When the cartoon is first shown, King Dedede and Escargoon's jaws hit the floor, and they spend the rest of the episode staring at the projector screen in complete shock.

** Even better, when Dedede comments, "That's weird!" the Waddle Dee actually nods!

* "WHERE ALL THE DINOSAURS AT?!" (''Loud smashing noise'')
** Even funnier when you realize birds are the direct descendants of dinosaurs that had evolved flight (something Tokkori lampshades earlier in the episode), which means Dedede himself is a dinosaur (assuming if he really is a penguin).

-->'''King Dedede:''' (''Points to a giant, cross-eyed version of himself'') Right here, that's me -- since [[SmallNameBigEgo I'm what you'd call the star of this here paintin', I'm smack-dab in the middle!]] You'll note the [[VerbalTic perspecticles]], and I put a big old impressionistic Sun (''A red circle with lines coming off it'') up there, see?\\
(''Points to his tiny castle, and a giant misshapen-looking Escargoon next to it'') Right there is my castle, and right next to it is Escargoon. [[StealthInsult Note the lack of depth!]]\\

* ''Fitness Fiend'', where NME saved the day by working Kirby out.
* In "Something to Sneeze At", Dedede finally gets a cold. His reaction is to run around Cappy Town announcing he has a cold. "I love having a cold!"

** In Japanese, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jff7BwZEzRg Macho-San]] (or Max Flexer in English).

** The people of Cappy Town bopping Dedede with toy mallets to see if he reaches his RageBreakingPoint. But what really sells it is that Iroo hits him with a ''golf club'' instead and Mabel pounds him with her crystal ball.

* The end results of episode 49 (''Cartoon Buffoon'') -- ''Dedede Comin' At Ya!'' (''Hoshi no Dedede'' in Japanese). It's a seriously half-assed, poorly written and illustrated, hilariously hammy version of the first episode of the anime; except Dedede is Kirby and Kirby is the monster. [[HilarityEnsues Much hilarity ensues!]]
-->'' DEDEDE, that's the name you should know!\\
DEDEDE, he's the king of the show!\\
You'll holler and hoot / he'll give Kirby the boot!\\
DEDEDE is the one!''
** Hell, the whole thing. It's filled with a ton of subtle and not-so-subtle jokes about animation.

** Meta Knight has lost friends to the war against Nightmare Enterprises, so one has to wonder what he (and for that matter, Tiff and Tuff) must be thinking when Dedede ropes him into voice-acting for a doofy cartoon sponsored by NME.
** HEHEHE, I AM A SUPAHSTAR WARRIAH. Best line in the episode.
*** Someone even made ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLKlzGncTI64Ztt6WO-4Prg an entire YouTube channel]]'' based on that single line.
** Also, when Tiff goes off-script to criticize Kirby being made the villain, her cartoon self's lip flaps ([[StylisticSuck for lack of a better word]]) match up with her speech perfectly. It's possible Dedede knew she would complain about it and [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat wrote it into]] [[ThrowItIn the script]]. Actually, for the whole argument they have, all the character's lines are perfectly in-sync with the cartoon. Even when Tiff tells Kirby that Dedede cheated them, the cartoon depicts Tiff talking to the giant, monstrous Kirby, who simply looks at the screen with malice before attacking Dedede when Kirby reacts.

* In episode 41, ''Prediction Predicament - Part II'', Dedede develops a massive fear of Kirby due to a dream. After he gets chased around the castle by Kirby, he decides to drive off to Mabel's shop to get his dream interpreted, and the protagonists watch him go.

* In "Hour of [=WolfWrath=]", King Dedede orders Waddle Dees to bring him food after they already brought him a lot of food earlier. As they do this, Waddle Doo sings this as he and Waddle Dees march:

''[[BigEater We bring him food and he wants more!]]''\\

-->'''Rick:''' It's rainin' cats and dogs, but I never thought an egg can drop on me head.

** Escargoon calling Dedede a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal "deep-sea doofus"]] for wearing his snorkel ''inside'' the submarine.

''[[SmallNameBigEgo But a handsome King had a plan he made]]''\\

''Dyna Blade- (speaking)'' Oh, look!

--->'''Tiff:''' Help us Meta Knight, we've got to do something!\\
'''Meta Knight:''' [[VaguenessIsComing Our deeds bind us to fate as surely as the Sun sets]].\\

* In episode 41, Prediction Predicament, Dedede develops a massive fear of Kirby due to a dream. After he gets chased around the castle by Kirby, he decides to drive off to Mabel's shop to get his dream interpreted, and the protagonists watch him go.

* Kirby's mouth is inspected by Hardy, the dentist monster, and Hardy's surprised to find that Kirby has no teeth at all.
** What's more, this revelation shocks Hardy into a VillainousBSOD enough for Kirby to finish it off!
** This revelation becomes HilariousInHindsight considering Kirby was brushing his "teeth" with Tiff's family earlier in the episode. And diligently too, to the point Tiff comments that Tuff should get tooth-brushing lessons from Kirby.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzm3sNl8VwQ Dedede and Escargoon attempt to see how a Waddle Dee eats]].
** Even better, when Dedede comments, "That's weird!" the Waddle Dee actually nods!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tohsid_4pY Nekodamashi]].
* In the English dub, the Island Sisters' (Twin Nuts in Japanese) song consists mostly of soprano singing along the lines of Léo Delibes' ''Flower Duet''. In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-0rpqtoQ7Y Japanese version]] however, their song is not only entirely different, but has lyrics; which are [[HurricaneOfPuns crammed with subtle Japanese wordplay]] referencing [[CreatorCameo Nintendo and HAL Laboratories.]]
** This becomes even more amusing in hindsight, when [[https://youtu.be/lxCH8jn8JMM an instrumental of said song]] made it into ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheRainbowCurse'' several years later!

* Episode 46/53, ''Scare Tactics'' makes shout-outs to various horror films, including ''[[Film/{{Psycho}} Psycho]]'', ''[[Film/TheBlairWitchProject The Blair Witch Project]]'' and ''[[Film/TheExorcist The Exorcist]]''.
* Kirby ends up eating a whole pack of Gijira extract, which is a highly potent spice or a hallucinogen, depending on which version you're watching. Once Kirby swallows the entire pack, [[MeatOVision he thinks EVERYONE is food]], and ends up preparing cooking utensils with the intention of eating everyone.
* Dedede's attempts to avoid Kirby after having several nightmares about the pink puffball in Part 1 of ''Prediction Predicament''.
* Dedede revealing and talking through his [[SoBadItsGood wonky painting]] in ''Dedede's Monsterpiece'';
-->'''King Dedede:''' (''Points to a giant, cross-eyed version of himself'') Right here, that's me -- since [[SmallNameBigEgo I'm what you'd call the star of this here paintin', I'm smack-dab in the middle!]] You'll note the [[VerbalTic perspecticles]], and I put a big old impressionistic Sun (''A red circle with lines coming off it'') up there, see?\\
(''Points to his tiny castle, and a giant misshapen-looking Escargoon next to it'') Right there is my castle, and right next to it is Escargoon. [[StealthInsult Note the lack of depth!]]\\
(''Points to an awkwardly-angled version of the Mayor with noodle arms and two giant angry VideoGame/PacMan-like sheep behind him'') This here's the Mayor being chased by his sheep, (''Points to a misshapen Kirby in the corner of the painting'') and this here's [[VerbalTic Kuhbeh]]. He's being chased by me! See, [[StylisticSuck I drawed him all lumpy to express his inner lumpiness!]]\\
'''Kirby:''' ''([[BerserkButton Hopping up and down angrily]])'' POYO! '''POYOOOO!'''
** Even better -- when everyone does break down in laughter at it, [[DudeNotFunny Kirby is the only one not laughing ]]-- he's still [[DeathGlare glaring at Dedede]] in a hilariously-angry way over being called lumpy!
** It's even funnier in the original version because that's '''''NOT''''' the reason Kirby gets mad at him. The real reason is because [[spoiler: Dedede ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice drew Kirby shitting himself!]]'' Apparently, Kirby is appalled at the idea of him pooping.]]
*** Escargoon got the same treatment!
* Dedede's [[BlackComedy twisted version]] of "Old Macdonald" from ''Kirby's Egg-cellent Adventure'', which he sings [[MotorMouth at a ridiculous speed]] as he's using his tank to draw a giant picture of Kirby eating [[GiantFlyer Dyna Blade]]'s egg (Complete with big goofy grin and oversized knife and fork) to get the giant bird to attack him:
-->''Dyna Blade had an egg it laid''\\
''Ee Aye Ee Aye Oh''\\
''[[SmallNameBigEgo But a handsome King had a plan he made]]''\\
''Ee Aye Ee Aye Oh''\\
''[[MistakenForMurderer When Kuhbeh eats that big old egg]]''\\
''Dyna Blade's gonna grab Kuhbeh by the leg''\\
''[[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath Drag him away to a secret lair]]''\\
''Finally get Kuhbeh out of my hair''\\
''Dyna Blade- (speaking)'' Oh, look!
** And later on in the same episode, when Tiff asks Meta Knight for advice on the matter. What really sells it is Tiff's "WTF" tone and expression upon hearing [[CrypticConversation his reply]], in the middle of a mostly-serious scene-
--->'''Tiff:''' Help us Meta Knight, we've got to do something!\\
'''Meta Knight:''' [[VaguenessIsComing Our deeds bind us to fate as surely as the Sun sets]].\\
'''Tiff:''' (''{{Beat}}'') ...could you say that in English?
* Chief Bookem singing Beethoven's 5th Symphony in ''eNeMeE Elementary''. '''Or at least trying to.'''
* Sword and Blade discussing Sir Ebrum's [[FoodPorn Pot Roast]] in Episode 82 (''Cooking Up Trouble'')-
-->'''Sword:''' (''Watching the group from a nearby balcony'') Blade?\\
'''Blade:''' Eh?\\
'''Sword:''' Smells delicious, don't it? Of course, anything would smell good compared to [[HiddenDepths Meta Knight's]] [[LethalChef cooking!]]\\
'''Blade:''' Sir Ebrum's alright.\\
'''Sword:''' [[TemptingFate You can say that again!]]\\
(''[[RightBehindMe Right on cue, Meta Knight appears behind them]]'')\\
'''Meta Knight:''' Say ''what'', again?\\
(''[[OhCrap Sword and Blade both panic when they realize he's heard them]]'')\\
'''Sword:''' (''Backpedaling'') He...[[BlatantLies he was saying that your cooking was beyond compare!]]\\
'''Blade:''' He's alright sir, ain't he?\\
'''Meta Knight:''' (''[[DeathGlare Stares a hole through them]]'') ''Hmmm''.
* Lady Like's breakdown [[MinorInjuryOverReaction over a single wrinkle]] toward the beginning of ''A Sunsational Surprise'', especially when she ends up BreakingTheFourthWall-
-->'''Lady Like:''' (''screams'') THE SUN'S RAYS ARE MOLLIFYING ME! (''[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall suddenly turns to and points at the audience as the background music stops]]'') '''STOP STARING AT ME!''' (''immediately goes back to panicking as the background music resumes'')
* When Kirby has a nightmare in "The Pillow Case" (the very end,) he jumps out of his bed Creator/HannaBarbera style screaming and runs out his house, then stops when he realizes he's awake. Meta Knight also cuts a pillow in half; revealing Noddy, the episode's NME monster.
* "How can I help you, King Dedede?"
** "I need a monster to ''CLOBBER THAT THERE KUHBEH!''"
** "That's what we do ''best'' at [=NME=]!"
** "You better get it with a money-back guarantee!"
* In "Something to Sneeze At", Dedede finally gets a cold. His reaction is to run around Cappy Town announcing he has a cold. "I love having a cold!"
* In the "Kirby of the Stars" prototype/pilot, Ice Kirby uses his ability to freeze Dark Matter solid...who just stays where he is with an expression that just says [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/099/507/086.png "I am so done with this puffball and his shit"]]. He keeps this expression as he's being frozen, ''and casually just falls out of the air when he's frozen entirely.''
** Made even better by the fact that Dark Matter is the series' KnightOfCerebus! He's already [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand2 lost]] [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3 three]] [[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards times]], and he's probably thinking "This is what I've been reduced to: Kirby fodder."
* In "Hatch Me If You Can", when Kirby chases after the egg, the egg ends up where Rick is holding a leaf umbrella to shield Rick from the rain. Then the egg lands on Rick's head. Rick's expression before the egg hits Rick on the head is priceless. After that, the egg lands behind an unconscious Rick, with Rick having a CranialEruption. When Kirby reaches the egg, Rick comes to and after recognizing Kirby, Rick says this:
-->'''Rick:''' It's rainin' cats and dogs, but I never thought an egg can drop on me head.
* "WHERE ALL THE DINOSAURS AT?!" (''Loud smashing noise'')
** Even funnier when you realize birds are the direct descendants of dinosaurs that had evolved flight (something Tokkori lampshades earlier in the episode), which means Dedede himself is a dinosaur (assuming if he really is a penguin).
* In "Sweet and Sour Puss", Dedede's uncharacteristically acting like an extreme MellowFellow and AllLovingHero, as a result being under the influence of the episode's NME monster, to the point everybody takes advantage of him from bopping him on the head with a hammer to making him eat [[LethalChef Kawasaki's cooking]]. Well, up until it goes downhill anyways.
-->'''King Dedede:''' That's okay.
** On Channel DDD, when Escargoon asks Dedede about this sudden change of personality, Dedede answers that he's got love inside of him. Cue everyone [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness reacting in shock from this]], including a Waddle Dee fainting.
** The fact that Kirby participates in the hammering on Dedede's head for the sake of imitating everyone else. And he clobbers him repeatedly too.
--->'''King Dedede:''' (''[[StepfordSmiler happily]]'') I'm sure he got a good reason for clobberin' me!
** The people of Cappy Town bopping Dedede with toy mallets to see if he reaches his RageBreakingPoint. But what really sells it is that Iroo hits him with a ''golf club'' instead and Mabel pounds him with her crystal ball.
** [[WatchWhereYoureGoing "This hallway needs a traffic light."]]
* In the climax of ''Dedede's Raw Deal'', how is Kirby cured from his hiccups? Tiff simply says that if Kirby doesn't get rid of the hiccups, he will never eat again. Kirby's reaction is to simply freak out and jump in the air and spin, curing his hiccups. He then spins in the reverse way as he is coming down.
* Seeing King Dedede and Escargoon get a JawDrop upon finding out that Knuckle Joe got hired as a monster manager at the beginning of ''Monster Management'' is truly hysterical in its own right. And that was just one of the times we got to see them doing that (see ''Tooned Out'' above)!

** The two parents discuss Fofa's origin in private, only to learn that Kirby was watching the whole thing, and starts saying ''"Fololo...Falala...Fofa!"'' The two's reactions are what sells it. Sir Ebrum [[OhCrap stares wide-eyed]] while Lady Like just glares at Kirby as if she's thinking HeKnowsTooMuch. The next time we see them, they've taped Kirby's mouth shut, and he doesn't seem the least bit bothered.

** While the MonsterOfTheWeek is on its rampage prior to the split, it causes Tokkori (a tiny bird) and Rick (a giant hamster) to switch heads, leading to the sight of a bird head on a hamster body and vice versa.

'''Lady Like:''' "We already have a new mouth to feed."\\
'''King Dedede:''' "Then you're lucky these two ain't got no mouths!"
*** Moments later, this split ends up happening to Dedede. The two sides promptly freak out.
** NME, Nightmare, the BigBad who causes so much suffering in the series, [[EvilLaugh laughing maniacally]] [[NotSoAboveItAll after telling the Salesman to cheat Dedede out of his money with a bad deal]] is certainly something.

* The entirety of "A Half-Baked Battle", with almost everyone in the main cast getting hit by a pie in the face at least once. Even [[TheComicallySerious Meta Knight]].
** Even in the English dub, right after that happens, he glances to the side and announces, "I feel... ''[[InnocentInnuendo dirty]]''".
** In the original Japanese version, Meta Knight states that the situation is terrible, since the MonsterOfTheWeek is taking every word as an insult. Tiff points out how he used the word "Terrible" resulting in Meta Knight [[NotSoStoic freaking out briefly]]. The subtitles for this episode actually misinterprets him as saying "[[CurseCutShort Oh, shi-!]]", making the scene even funnier if you act like he actually is.
** Tiff getting pied, as well. Throughout the episode, every time she's close to taking one to the face, Kirby ends up eating them before they can land. When Belly Buster starts lobbing pies, they arrive faster than Kirby can react and [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender hit poor Tiff in the face]]. She's understandably miffed that Kirby didn't stop that one; it's like she wanted to go the whole episode without getting hit.
*** And then there's her screaming and hilariously [[VolumetricMouth horrified and disgusted faces]] when Tiff tries eating a bit of the cream from the pie she got hit by with a finger, and realises it tastes ''absolutely foul''.

* In episode 51, Prediction Predicament, Dedede develops a massive fear of Kirby due to a dream. After he gets chased around the castle by Kirby, he decides to drive off to Mabel's shop to get his dream interpreted, and the protagonists watch him go.
-->'''Tuff:''' Wonder what Dedede's up to?\\
'''Tiff:''' Based on past experience, I think it's safe to say it's something stupid.
* In The Chill Factor, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21eWgYcMsAw Meta Knight in a penguin suit, posing as a guard.]]
** At the climax of the same episode, Tiff throws Kirby a potion and tells him to pour it into a volcano to make it erupt so the eternal winter made by the Pengies will end. As Kirby flies off to the volcano, intense music plays as Kirby arrives to the volcano and pours the potion... in the same way one would add a hot sauce to their food, complete with casual singing. [[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand Even the music cuts off for additional silliness.]] You can see it [[https://twitter.com/nocontextkirby/status/1097900892777402369 here]].

* In ''Escar-Gone'', Escargoon is forgotten by everyone in town due to a monster and, under the impression that everyone is faking ignorance as a prank, reports them to Chief Bookem. After the latter asks for Escargoon's name, confirming that he had forgotten him as well, this happens.
-->'''Escargoon:''' Why, you two-faced, doughnut-hoarding, hairy-lipped, double-crossing, no-good...\\
'''Chief Bookem:''' Uh, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint how do you spell that?]]
* After a battle with a corrupt robotic delivery man sent by NME, Kirby completely obliterates it to continue his journey. Escargoon hears of this and his way of telling King Dedede is a borderline BondOneLiner.
-->'''Escargoon:''' [[BlackComedy Your delivery man]] [[{{Understatement}} just made his last delivery!]]

'''King Dedede:''' Yeah? Well, who's the King around here, you or me?\\

'''Meta Knight:''' [[BlatantLies It pains me to do this, sire]]. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner But I'm afraid... I must]].\\
(''Meta Knight kicks the Tank down the hill as Dedede and Escargoon panic'')\\

** An underrated bit is what happens when the show is taken off the air and it goes to ''"Technical Difficulties"'' screen. The Cappies all look at it confused, and then it turns out they were staring at it ''up until the morning'', [[SkewedPriorities speaking volumes about the Cappy's collective intelligence.]]
---> "This show about rainbows has been going on all morning."
* In "The Fofa Factor," after Kirby gets split into small male and female versions of himself, Escargoon comments that everyone probably has a male and female side to them. This leads to both Escargoon and Dedede imagining [[Rule63 what a female version of the other character would look like.]] [[BrainBleach This makes them both shudder.]]
** Moments later, this split ends up happening to Dedede. The two sides promptly freak out.
** Dedede also takes this superpowerful, splitting monster into Cappy Town to swap all the townsfolk's heads with sheep. [[DisproportionateRetribution For no other reason than to be a dick over a vague fortune he got that morning.]]
** In said episode, there is this gutbusting exchange in the English dub:
--->'''NME Salesman:''' Today, we're offering preferred customers like you a free how-to video!\\
'''King Dedede:''' I'm a preferred customer?\\
'''NME Salesman:''' You bet!\\
'''King Dedede:''' Great!\\
'''Escargoon:''' (''quietly, to himself'') [[StealthInsult What must the others be like?]]
** And also this gem when Escargoon is reading through Dedede's fortune.
--->'''King Dedede:''' Is it next week's lottery numbers?\\
'''Escargoon:''' If it was, I wouldn't tell you... It says 'Your account is passed due. Pay up you cheap tightwad!' (''Gets socked into the wall'') Ow!
** While the MonsterOfTheWeek is on its rampage prior to the split, it caused Tokkori (a tiny bird) and Rick (a giant hamster) to switch heads, leading to the sight of a bird head on a hamster body and vice versa.

--->'''Tuff:''' Who needs to know subtraction?\\

'''Tuff:''' Do you think we're gonna be weird like that when we get old?\\

** The two parents discuss Fofa's origin in private, only to learn that Kirby was watching the whole thing, and starts saying ''"Fololo...Falala...Fofa!"'' The two's reactions are what sells it. Sir Ebrum [[OhCrap stares wide-eyed]] while Lady Like just glares at Kirby as she's if thinking HeKnowsTooMuch. The next time we see them, they taped Kirby's mouth shut, and he doesn't seem the least bit bothered.
** And then there's the flashback to when they first found Fololo and Falala. Dedede is unimpressed with NME's two-for-one deal, so he just dumps them on the new parents. From Fofa's perspective, [[TearJerker/KirbyRightBackAtYa devastating]], but with this quip in the mix? One of the best BlackComedy moments from the English dub.
--->'''Sir Ebrum:''' "Uh, but your majesty-!"\\
'''Lady Like:''' "We already have a new mouth to feed."\\
'''King Dedede:''' "Then you're lucky these two ain't got no mouths!"
** NME, Nightmare, the BigBad who causes so much suffering in the series, [[EvilLaugh laughing maniacally]] [[NotSoAboveItAll after telling the Salesman to cheat Dedede out of his money with a bad deal]] is certainly something.

* When Kabu predicts the arrival of the Star Warrior who will save Dreamland, Fumu/Tiff imagines a handsome knight in shining armor and gets heart-eyes. ("Kirby...I bet he's cute!") Then, when she sees what Kirby actually looks like, her preferred image ''shatters''.

* Episode 2 has Kirby kicked out of the castle by Dedede. His friends try to build him his own house. After many trials and much tribulation they succeed, only for Kirby to take up residences in the tree next door! Though the bird he'd ''stolen'' the tree from seemed happy with it...

** An underrated bit is what happens when the show is taken off the air goes to ''"Technical Difficulties"'' screen. The Cappy's all look at it confused, and then turns out they were staring at it ''up until the morning'', [[SkewedPriorities speaking volumes about the Cappy's collective intelligence.]]

* "A Fish Called Kine" piles on the fish and ocean-related puns like no tomorrow. The crowning one has to be Tuff, laughing at the idea of Tiff being a fish's girlfriend, suggesting that Kine could be Tiff's [[{{Pun}} gill-friend]].
** Most of Tiff's reactions to finding out Kine is her admirer are gold. When he confesses to sending the seashell love letter, Tiff dons a particularly hilarious expression of [[OhCrap wide-eyed shock]]. And when Kine proposes that she move to live under the sea with him, she does a near FaceFault at the idea.
** The highlight of the episode has to be Dedede and Escargoon lampshading the absurdity of [[InterspeciesRomance Tiff and Kine (apparently) dating]]:
--->'''King Dedede:''' I know folks say that opposites attract, but I never saw a couple that was ''this'' opposite!\\
'''Escargoon:''' It's the world's first surf 'n' turf relationship!
** Escargoon calling Dedede a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal "deep-sea doofus"]] for wearing his snorkel ''inside'' the submarine.
** At the end of the episode, Kirby finds Dedede's goggles and snorkel. Kine proceeds to have an ImagineSpot about him and Tiff swimming together hand-in-fin, and proceeds to tell Tiff and Tuff about Kirby's find.
--->'''Tuff:''' That's great! Now you and Kine can go on a scuba date!\\
'''Tiff:''' ''KIRBY! YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!''

* Meta Knight kicking Dedede's car down a hill -- right after saying he was his most loyal servant.
** Although mostly known for its appearance in the Japanese version, Dedede and Escargoon's bickering as the car rolls down the hill in the English-dubbed version is good as well;
--->'''Meta Knight:''' Sire, it is my duty to warn you. Kirby has great power, now.\\

* The first time Kirby becomes Mike Kirby in episode 31. Even after warping him to their headquarters, seven monsters (ones often seen in Meta Knight's flashbacks) that were eagerly waiting to come at him with their jaws open found his singing too much for them to handle and [[DefeatEqualsExplosion explode from the pain suffered by hearing it]], and the NME Salesman had to send him back. Let's put that into perspective: Kirby ''almost'' brought down Nightmare Enterprises via bad singing.
** Prior to Kirby, though, the Cappies were trying to sing oldies songs. Even earlier, Escargoon sang [[Music/ElvisPresley "Hound Dog"]].
* In "The Hour of [=WolfWrath=]", King Dedede orders Waddle Dees to bring him food after they already brought him a lot of food earlier. As they do this, Waddle Doo sings this as he and Waddle Dees march:

Even after warping him to their headquarters, seven monsters (ones often seen in Meta Knight's flashbacks) that were eagerly waiting to come at him with their jaws open found his singing too much for them to handle and [[DefeatEqualsExplosion explode from the pain suffered by hearing it]], and the NME Salesguy had to send him back. Let's put that into perspective: Kirby ''almost'' brought down Nightmare Enterprises via bad singing.

--> ''Five, six, seven, eight''
--> ''[[SarcasticDevotee The king had better watch his weight!]]''

--> '''Dedede:''' [[LargeHam I'm the most important person in this whole joint, half-pint!]] I'm the producer!

--> '''Escargoon:''' [[TakeThat Hmmmm, they gotcha there, majesty.]]

--> '''Meta Knight:''' ''(Enthusiastically)'' Yes! That is [[CaptainErsatz Fire Dedede]]- (''Beat as his enthusiasm quickly wears off, [[BreakingTheFourthWall before turning to the audience]] and shaking his head'') [[WhoWritesThisCrap Even]] ''[[WhoWritesThisCrap I]]'' [[WhoWritesThisCrap can't make that sound cool]].

--> '''Meta Knight:''' Look, it is Fire Dedede! Our hero...! (''mutters to the audience'') [[DeadpanSnarker I would never say]] ''[[DeadpanSnarker that]]''.

--> '''Tuff:''' Wonder what Dedede's up to?
--> '''Tiff:''' Based on past experience, I think it's safe to say it's something stupid.

-->'''King Dedede:''' Why, just last night I was working at my desk burning up the midnight oil!
-->'''NME Salesguy:''' [[LazyBum Did... I just hear you say you were working?]]
-->'''King Dedede:''' Yep! I spent hours at my PC!
-->'''Escargoon:''' [[DeadpanSnarker And he almost got it turned on, too!]] (''giggles to himself before Dedede [[TranquilFury calmly takes his hammer out and bashes him over the head with it]]'')

-->'''Escargoon''': Why, you two-faced, doughnut-hoarding, hairy-lipped, double-crossing, no-good...
-->'''Chief Bookem''': Uh, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint how do you spell that?]]

-->'''Escargoon''': [[BlackComedy Your delivery man]] [[{{Understatement}} just made his last delivery!]]

-->'''Tiff:''' Is that ''airhead'' really supposed to be me?!
-->'''Biggy:''' [[WhatAnIdiot Yeah!]] [[DiggingYourselfDeeper Except she's not short like you]].
-->'''Tiff:''' [[HeightAngst Yeah, I'm short alright]]. ''([[DropTheHammer Grabs Dedede's Hammer]])'' '''[[HairTriggerTemper AND SO'S MY TEMPEEEEER!]]'''

-->(''Points to his tiny castle, and a giant misshapen-looking Escargoon next to it'') Right there is my castle, and right next to it is Escargoon. [[StealthInsult Note the lack of depth!]]
-->(''Points to an awkwardly-angled version of the Mayor with noodle arms and two giant angry VideoGame/PacMan-like sheep behind him'') This here's the Mayor being chased by his sheep, (''Points to a misshapen Kirby in the corner of the painting'') and this here's [[VerbalTic Kuhbeh]]. He's being chased by me! See, [[StylisticSuck I drawed him all lumpy to express his inner lumpiness!]]

-->'''Sword:''' (''Watching the group from a nearby balcony'') Blade?
-->'''Blade:''' Eh?
-->'''Sword:''' Smells delicious, don't it? Of course, anything would smell good compared to [[HiddenDepths Meta Knight's]] [[LethalChef cooking!]]
-->'''Blade:''' Sir Ebrum's alright.
-->'''Sword:''' [[TemptingFate You can say that again!]]
-->(''[[RightBehindMe Right on cue, Meta Knight appears behind them]]'')
-->'''Meta Knight:''' Say ''what'', again?
-->(''[[OhCrap Sword and Blade both panic when they realize he's heard them]]'')

-->'''Blade:''' He's alright sir, ain't he?
-->'''Meta Knight:''' (''[[DeathGlare Stares a hole through them]]'') ''Hmmm''.

--> '''Rick:''' It's rainin' cats and dogs, but I never thought an egg can drop on me head.

-->'''Dedede''': That's okay.

--->'''Dedede''': (''[[StepfordSmiler happily]]'') I'm sure he got a good reason for clobberin' me!

* In the first episode, the mayor and the rest of the Cappies hold a feast for Kirby's arrival. Kirby then proceeds to eat ''the entire table'' of food using his inhale ability ([[ExtremeOmniVore Including the tablecloth and utensils!]]), leaving the rest of the guests in utter silence.
** And Kirby’s poker face right after takes the (figurative) cake.

** And then there's the flashback to when they first found Fololo and Falala. Dedede is unimpressed with NME's two-for-one deal, so he just dumps them on the new parents.
