[[caption-width-right:336:Charizard is most certainly ''NOT'' a dragon type.]]

* Almost anytime [[GenkiGirl Bianca]] is running and shouts "outta my way, outta my way, outta my way!!!!" and she crashes into [[ButtMonkey Ash]], causing him to fall in some nearby water.
* While not always funny, Iris can be funny sometimes when she calls Ash a kid. The catchphrase also works when she calls Trip and Georgia kids (and Georgia actually throws the catchphrase back at her).
* Iris and Georgia's interactions as rivals. It's basically a CatFight without any actual fighting, and it's ''hilarious''.
* Burgundy can be hilarious when she has her outbursts.
* People getting Stephen...err Stephan's name wrong.
* Oshawott randomly popping out of its Pokeball.
* Oshawott taking Brock's spot in the show by being a CasanovaWannabe to almost every female Pokemon it comes across....only for the poor thing to get rejected in the most humiliating of ways.

!!Specific Episode moments
* ''Best Wishes'' has already had a large number. The first: Ash testing out Pikachu's newly-recharged electric attacks by having Pikachu use Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle on him. The Volt Tackle ends with him woozily saying "You're definitely alright...", then falling over twitching. Then the entire meeting with Iris, and him climbing up a tree and then ''jumping into the air'' to try and rescue Pikachu and Axew, before missing while trying to grab the glass cage and falling back down to the ground.
* In the episode "Enter Iris & Axew," when Ash mistakes Iris as a Pokemon and throws a Pokeball at her. Iris is ''not'' amused, and she gets angry with Ash and yells at him. Thankfully, she does accept his apology.
* When Ash tried to catch Snivy, she takes advantage of his Pokémon by using Attract on all the males, disabling them from fighting. Left with only one choice, he sends Pidove. As luck would have it, [[SamusIsAGirl Pidove is also female]]. [[WhatAnIdiot Ash did not know that beforehand]], to the annoyance of Pikachu, Iris, and Cilan.
* In the ninth episode of ''Best Wishes'' (''The Bloom is on Axew!''), the beginning shows Axew's first onscreen battle. Cilan's Pansage...beats it in a CurbStompBattle while still going VERY easy on the little dragon.
** And right after that, when Axew attempts to get serious. Axew charges his Dragon Rage up in such a dramatic way...and then sneezes. Needless to say, the whole place within a ten foot radius is a bit decimated, leaving everyone burnt and twitching.
*** Cilan then dubs the attack "Dragon Sneeze." Iris is '''not''' amused. Ash even mentions it again in the climax of the episode, pissing off Iris. Cilan also mentions “Dragon Sneeze” again in the beginning of BW027... such a hilarious CallBack.
** At the end of the episode, Iris has had enough of Ash challenging her and Axew, and tells him that ''he'' should be the one to battle Pikachu himself. Ash proceeds to do ''[[LiteralMinded just that]]''.
* ''Scraggy: Hatched to be Wild!'': Ash's Scraggy finally hatches from its egg. Later, when Ash's other Pokémon try to greet him, he tries to fight them all. Pidove gets freaked out by Scraggy's Headbutt. Oshawott gets so mad ''he has to be pulled off Scraggy''. Then he tries taking on Tepig and eventually Snivy, who casually jumps off a rock so Scraggy crashes into it and then casually holding Scraggy off with her vines. And then he headbutts Ash.
** From that same episode, [[http://images.wikia.com/es.pokemon/images/e/e3/EP677_Zuruggu_usando_malicioso.png Scraggy using Leer]].
* A wild Minccino using Tickle on Bianca's Pignite in [=BW013=] (''Minccino- Neat and Tidy!''). That is all.
** And then using Attract on Ash's Snivy.
** We also see that same Pignite acting a lot like [[CloudCuckooLander his]] [[TheDitz trainer]]. It's too much for words.
** Cilan crying over Bianca dirtying his cutlery; it's not something you'd expect from him...
** The Minccino stuffing Ash's badge case in its mouth.
** Bianca excitedly tells Pikachu to do a move that he can't learn.
--->'''Bianca''':"NOW PIKACHU! ZAP CANNON!"\\
'''Ash''':"Pikachu can't use that move..."\\
'''Bianca''': "Hey! Just give it a shot!"\\
(''Pikachu'' is embarassed with Bianca.'')
** How the Minccino was caught can also qualify. Once Bianca is ready to catch him, she pulls out a very dirty Poke Ball, but takes so much time doing so that he gets away. Howver, out of instinct, he goes over to clean the Poke Ball, accidentally getting caught in the process.
* In the ''The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice'', Meowth is disguised as an Umbreon to provide a distraction. When he is finally cornered, his pursuers burst into [[ManlyTears tears of joy]] from "discovering the first Umbreon in Unova." This makes Meowth feel guilty, so he confesses that he is really just a talking Meowth. Only after he escapes do the pursuers realize that a talking Meowth is also rare, leading them to burst into tears once more.
** Prior to the aforementioned scene, Pikachu attempts to stop Oshawott from eating the food, only to be knocked into some cardboard boxes. Multiple boxes drop on Pikachu, and Pikachu is fine...[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers until a washtub]] [[DropTheWashtub drops down out of nowhere and bonks Pikachu on the head]], which is enough to take the poor Mouse Pokémon down and out.
* ''Scare at Litwick Mansion!'': Cilan screaming like a little girl. That. Is. All.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2gd0cxx8zM Cilan screams like a girl for almost ten minutes.]]
* Burgundy's ImagineSpot of Evil Cilan in ''A Connoisseur's Revenge'', complete with the evil laugh. Pansage's menacing expression in the background also helps.
** At one point, she attempts to evaluate Ash's Snivy by ''licking her.''
*** ''And'' gets vine-whipped in the tongue for her trouble.
*** All of the Pokemon's abusing her is pretty funny but Pikachu takes the cake. You can mock his trainer and insult his friends, but the moment you declare he isn't cute is the moment where he deals out [[DisproportionateRetribution 10000 volts of electricity.]]
*** There's also that small pause before dissing Tepig where the two just kinda stare at each other for a short period while Tepig has a big grin on his face.
* ''A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!'': Bianca trying to swing the fishing rod and accidentally latches on Ash's hooded shirt.
* ''Reunion Battles in Nimbasa!'': Ash trying to get Trip's attention and is waving him over to the group. Trip ''obviously'' sees Ash via his camera lens but [[SugarAndIcePersonality then decides to ignore him]] after he looks directly at Ash. The expression on Ash's face is priceless.
** Iris getting a bad vibe from her first opponent, someone wearing a ''Watchog costume''.
* Ash's Snivy was alternately made of this and badass in ''Emolga and the New Volt Switch''. Usually by using her Vine Whip to discipline the kinda-{{Jerkass}} Iris' Emolga. The part where Emolga tries to sneak away from the battle with Simisear (that ''she'' caused) and gets grabbed, as if Snivy's saying, "I'll deal with ''you'' after I take care of this." is hilarious.
** Later in the episode, Emolga pulls a WoundedGazelleGambit by explaining how a trio of Watchog tormented her...in a little scene illustrated with ''paper cutouts.'' It's so cute it's funny.
** This episode also has Chivalrous!Oshawott who, being the ButtMonkey of Ash's Unova team, [[EpicFail fails]] at looking cool.
* From the episode before (''Emolga the Irresistable''), Iris' (soon to be) Emolga spreads Attract onto a flock of Swoobat (it fails on the girls, of course). [[EpicFail It also affects Excadrill!]]
* ''Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!'': Oshawott thinks he finds his scalchop and puts it on his chest. It's a Joltik. The little critter is ''not'' happy about this.
* Sawk using Bulk Up in ''The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga vs. Sawk!'', where he strikes some of the most over-the-top and manly poses you can think of. [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6a/Stephan_Sawk_Bulk_Up.png Like this.]]
** More funny is that he does that EVERY TIME he uses Bulk Up. And Bianca goes nuts.
* ''Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!'': After chasing down Zorua for three episode straight, Bianca finally catches her. Zorua GIVES UP running away from Bianca and Bianca later on that night puts clothes on her in reference to the Pokémon Musical subplot. Zorua is not amused.
** Later on in the episode, Bianca taunts Luke into making him move closer to watch Ash and Iris battle. It works.
** Cilan and Burgundy's "Evaluation Time" duet. Enough said.
* The end of ''Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?'' The Purrloin that Meowth and Oshawott fell in love with [[UnsettlingGenderReveal turned out to be a male]]. But he wasn't exactly outright rejecting their advances, either. Their expression is priceless.
** It could have been that he was playing along to get them to help him, but it's funny either way.
** Now Meowth and Oshawott know AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame?
* ''Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym'' might be infuriating for some, but for others it can serve as a fun little CallBack to the gag-based episodes of old.
** To start, Ash beats Zebstrika with Palpitoad quite handily, only for it to get taken out by her Emolga. He then needs to be reminded that Palpitoad was only his first knocked out Pokémon and that he's allowed two more...and he leaves the Gym because he didn't ''bring'' any others! Cue Elesa's WTF look.
--->'''Elesa''': If I may, you didn't by chance bring ''just'' Palpitoad, did you?\\
(''Ash gives an embarrassed laugh'')\\
'''Elesa''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Oh... I'll ignore that.]]
** In the same episode, after Snivy and Emolga are unaffected by Attract, Ash proves just how off his game he ''really'' is:
--->'''Ash''': It didn't work!\\
'''Elesa''' You're right; by any chance, would your Snivy happen to be a girl?\\
'''Ash (looking completely embarrassed)''': Argh, of course! ''I totally forgot''!!\\
(Cut to Iris, Cilan, Pikachu and Axew with disbelieving expressions. Cue FaceFault.)\\
'''Iris (eyebrow twitching)''': How many times will it take for Ash to learn that Attract doesn't ''work'' between girls!?\\
'''Cilan''': Good question, although this ''is'' Ash after all!\\
'''Pikachu and Axew (sitting with their backs against each other, sweatdropping)''': "Pika-Pikachu..."/"Axew..."
*** Put that into perspective: He ''forgot his own Pokémon's sex''.
** And ''[[UpToEleven then]]'':
---> '''Ash''': So what? Snivy's a Grass-type Pokémon, so Electric-types moves won't have much effect anyway.
---> '''Elesa (smiling indulgently)''': I think you've forgotten something, Ash.
---> '''Ash''': Huh?
---> '''Elesa''': Emolga may be an Electric-type, but it's also a Flying-type.
---> '''Ash''': Huh...and [[CaptainObvious Flying-type moves are strong against Grass-types]]...''(cue FreakOut expression)'' [[OhCrap OH MAN, SNIVY'S A GRASS-TYPE POKÉMON]]!!
** After Snivy loses, Pikachu straight-up shocks Ash, then goes up to him and shouts in his ear as if to say "JUST USE ME, YOU FREAKING MORON!!"
* Ash manages to be so close to defeating ''the Champion of Unova''...until everyone realizes that Alder was actually ''sleeping''.
** In that same episode, when Ash and Trip first meet up with Alder, the normally calm and collected Trip [[SugarAndIcePersonality goes full-on fanboy and his voice increases to a hilariously childish pitch as he's speaking]].
** Alder's Bouffalant gets increasingly fed up with his inability to take action during the battle (which is funny on its own), so what does Alder do to try and patch things up? Just laugh it off and [[TooDumbToLive smack the large and incredibly powerful bison Pokémon]] ''[[http://willfosho.tumblr.com/post/19673780004 on the butt]]'' [[TooDumbToLive to try and motivate it]]! Suffice to say, he gets a lovely dose of payback when Bouffalant decides to Head Smash him into a tree, but he then manages to laugh ''that'' off, too!.. And then temporarily loses consciousness.
** Alder in general, really. Whether he's being a ChivalrousPervert in a way that would make Brock proud, disobeying law enforcement, [[AccidentalMisnaming forgetting people's names]] and any inspirational advise he might have given them, falling asleep during battles, or getting beat up by his own pissed off Pokémon, he is ''definitely'' getting a lot of mileage as a BunnyEarsLawyer in this episode.
* Ash LOVES food. We all know that. Recently, it seems to have become something of a BerserkButton for him ''and'' Pikachu to see it wasted, judging by their [[NightmareFace Nightmare Faces]] [[http://serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/717.shtml here]]. Completely out of left field, man.
* Meowth's PreAssKickingOneLiner to the Dream Thief in ''Best Wishes'', seen below. His [[UnstoppableRage ludicrously]] [[OutOfCharacterMoment angry]] delivery just makes it better.
--> '''Dream Thief:''' A Meowth that can talk? We'll be rolling in dough! Now just sign this contract...
--> '''Meowth:''' '''AFTER ALL YOU PUT ME THROUGH, I WOULDN'T SIGN YOUR ''REPORT CARD''!!!''' ([[ClothingDamage slashes Dream Thief's clothes off]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome With one attack]]).
** Basically everything Meowth does, falling asleep and messing with Ash (not on purpose) and getting woken up by being spiced. The Dream Thief is hilarious in the Japanese original with his absolutely ridiculous GratuitousFrench which completely steals the spotlight.
* ''Climbing the Tower of Success!'':
** Miles's 3rd question on the contest was whether or not he likes more: Officer Jenny or Nurse Joy.
** Cilan and Stephan cosplaying as Elesa and Nurse Joy, respectively. Cilan can pull it off. Mostly.
*** Made funnier by the fact he lost simply because he was ''too into the role'' and creeped the judge out.
*** Plus Miles is a fan of Elesa, making Cilan's crushed reaction to knowing he probably couldn't have succeeded all the more priceless.
* The mere sight of Tepig and Oshawott in afro wigs in the episode ''"Baffling the Bouffalant"'' is enough to make people laugh '''BEFORE''' the episode ''aired''.
** Snivy absolutely ''refusing'' one also warrants a mention.
** [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/727/DP173.jpg Excadrill's pompadoured afro is a riot!]]
** [[RapunzelHair Iris]] with afro puffs
** It should be noted that the dub of the episode seems to go out of their way ''not'' to say the word "afro". The fact that at least one background track in the episode is noticeably Funkier than you'd expect for the series lets you know that yes, the dubbers know full well that they're not fooling anyone.
* In the Clubsplosion arc, Ash's Scraggy learns to use Focus Blast. However, it's not really very focused, even in the subsequent matches and after intensive training. [[http://i46.servimg.com/u/f46/15/96/40/77/7455fe10.jpg Cue Iris, Cilan, Axew, and Pikachu's hilarious expressions.]]
** In that same arc, Cilan's Evaluation Time getting stopped by Stephan's Sawk's karate chop and its followed up by Pansage's dodge failing against Sawk's low sweep. Followed by Cilan's shocked look and then PANSAGE GETS SMACKED RIGHT INTO CILAN!! The funniest part is the slapstick sound effect that further emphasizes how much Cilan got curb-stomped. This is then followed by the announcer getting Stephan's entire name wrong.
** Bianca's obsession with muscles. That is all.
* This exchange in ''Battling the Leaf Thieves'' (they're walking through a Durants' nest):
--->'''Iris''': Make sure not to bump your heads.
--->'''Cilan''': Got it. ''(promptly knocks his head against a low stalactite)''
** And later continued--
--->'''Iris''': Watch your feet.
--->'''Cilan''': Yeah. ''(immediately slips and falls on the ground, complete with sound effect)''
* From another movie-making episode, they decide to spoof the famous MGM logo...and they had to use a ''Zorua'' instead of a lion analogue! What.
* From ''Crisis at Ferroseed Research'', after the whole moss issue is resolved, Ash thought it would be a good idea to have Pikachu unleash all the electricity stored in his body. So Pikachu lets it out, but the electricity comes back and almost hits Oshawott. Oshawott blocks the electricity with its scalchop but then it hits Ash, Iris, Cilan ''and'' Georgia. When Oshawott turns around to see what happens, he puts his scalchop down and gets electrocuted too.
* From ''Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times'', Dawn's reaction to Cilan's "EVALUATION TIME!" is ''priceless.''
** In the same episode, after the big finish between Piplup and Pansage's battle, Meloetta comes up to dance with Piplup. Oshawott comes out of his Pokéball in a jealous fit and Piplup just [[{{Troll}} reacts]] with an awesome "[[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ku4dztOpy4I/hqdefault.jpg u mad bro?]]" face.
** Additionally, while Dawn, Iris, and Ash are giving their reactions to Cilan's Evaluation Time speech, Cynthia just sits there and still watches ''without being phased or thrown off'' by Cilan. Either she is a master of being stoic or has a WeirdnessCensor. Or both.
* In "Clash Of The Connoisseurs", Cilan's Crustle accidentally sends Burgundy "blasting off" with one of its attacks. At that point, Ash (elsewhere in the general area) looks up and notes that that sounded oddly familiar...
* Scrafty's method of kidnapping Axew in ''Meowth's Scrafty Tactics'' -- it ''shoves Axew into its pants''.
* ''All for the Love of Meloetta!'': The gang and Cynthia are heading out when suddenly, the music turns tense, she mutters "wait just a minute..." and the scene darkens and goes to a close-up of Cynthia's eyes, putting everyone on edge. After about three seconds, [[BrickJoke she finally figures out what flavor of Bearticone she wants.]] Everyone else pretty much ''collapses.''
* ''Jostling for the Junior Cup!'': Alder flirting with Cynthia, and Cynthis rejects him harshly.
--->'''Alder:''' Come on. Let's say that we forget the tournament and grab some lunch.\\
'''Cynthia''': I think you'll be dining alone as usual.
* In ''Lost At The League'', Pikachu's reaction to Oshawott stealing the apples the Trubbish were going to eat. He pulls this blank face as he mutters "Pika Pika" stoically as if to say "Oshawott...you're an idiot." And Emolga doing the same made it even funnier.
* In ''The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!'', Iris wonders why her Dragonite's Dragon Rush didn't do more against Ash's Charizard, [[CriticalResearchFailure as it is a Dragon Type.]] This is quickly followed by three {{beat}} reactions from Ash, Cilan and Pikachu. Charizard, however, has [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe a completely shocked WTF face]] complete with sweatdrop, while Iris's Dragonite just has a "Really? -_-" look.
** N was also included in on the reactions. EpicFail indeed, Iris.
** And just to add further insult, Axew ''laughs at her''.
** This is funny for [[HilariousInHindsight a different reason]] as of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
*** Even funnier! Charizard roars ''incredibly loudly'' on its arrival and Ash, Cilan, Iris and N are barely able to stand up from the roar. Pikachu, ''who is a tiny mouse that is 1'04" tall and weighs 13.2 pounds and probably should be blown miles'', is completely unaffected.
* And then came ''Crowning the Scalchop King,'' where Ash's Oshawott falls in love with Osharina, a female Oshawott. The first attempt made by Oshawott was giving Osharina some flowers, [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps1.shtml but he quickly gets hit in the head by a Dewott nicknamed Caesar.]]
** Then comes the scene where Oshawott tries to use Aqua Jet. Oshawott gets too distracted by Osharina's beauty...[[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps6.shtml which results in Oshawott hitting Ash directly in the head.]]
** Then, after Oshawott wins the battle against Caesar and is crowned the winner, Oshawott goes all heart-eyed again as Ash says a tearful farewell to Oshawott. However, Osharina [[spoiler: rejects Oshawott in the favor of Caesar, who also had a love interest in Osharina]]. [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps11.shtml Oshawott's reaction]] is '''PRICELESS!''' Heck, even Oshawott's '''scalchop breaking in half''' (representing his broken heart) made it much funnier!
*** [[HumiliationConga Naturally, since his scalchop broke, he is immediately stripped of the title of Scalchop King.]]
** At the very end, [[HereWeGoAgain Oshawott falls in love with a female Cinccino]] and proceeds to chase after the Cinccino while holding the flowers he tried to give to Osharina earlier.
* In ''Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!'', Team Plasma grunts are at the white ruins, observing the excavation. They report that nothing has been uncovered by Cedric Juniper's excavation team. Cut to Cedric Juniper...
-->'''Cedric:''' Look! The discovery of the century!
-->'''Researcher 1:''' Huh?
-->'''Researcher 2:''' You've done it Professor Juniper!
-->'''Cedric:''' Hasn't happened yet. Back to work!
* The Best Wishes Decolora Adventure! ending theme ends with an impressive shot of all of Ash's friends and rivals holding hands with one another. Including Paul. ''Paul.'' Holding. Hands.
* ''Cilan And The Case Of The Purrloin Witness'' has CharacterOfTheDay Mr. Shaw make a vow to get the Liepard's Eye jewel and makes an evil laugh though he's not evil. Response? Watchhog slams the door in his face, and it's like it's telling him "Shut up!"
* In ''The Island of Illusions'', Ash runs [[spoiler:Zoroark!]]Nurse Joy and Audino ragged by asking where each one is. So they keep running back and forth and back and forth until they get exhausted.
* The first act of ''The Path That Leads To Goodbye!'' is presented by Cilan as a HowWeGotHere flashback. At the start of the second act, Team Rocket is preparing to ambush the twerps, and Meowth gets his own HowWeGotHere flashback...to a ten-second scene of them deciding to ambush them. Jessie even calls out his bizarre narration by the end.
* In ''Capacia Island UFO!'' Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket confront the Beheeyems about them hypnotizing the rest of the islanders (as well as Mewoth who they're using to communicate) and ask why ''they'' weren't hypnotized. As it turns out, "idiots are hard to hypnotize." [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_888.png The groups reaction makes it even better.]]
** Even funnier because in Pikachu's case, he ''was'' hypnotized earlier, so he's not technically part of the above statement.
* Pignite in ''The Journalist From Another Region'' beats down several Pokemon in the tournament including a [[LazyBum Slaking]]...but he didn't need to beat it up. Instead, he beat it because Slaking was, well, slacking off!
* In ''Curtain Up, Unova League'', everyone suddenly starts pronouncing Stephan's name correctly. He's about to correct them out of habit when he realizes they got it right and incredulously asks them what they just called him. Iris says it again and asks, "That's your name, isn't it?" and everyone just generally acted like that's how they'd been pronouncing it all along.
* In ''Pirates of the Decalore Islands'', Oshawott tries to stand up to the pirates only for Octillery to spray ink in its face. Oshawott willingly retreats into its Pokéball instead of the usual having Ash recall it.
* In the undubbed special episode focusing on Cilan, he captures a fleeing criminal by having Crustle come out from its Pokeball in midair so that it falls and traps the fugitive under its weight.
* In one episode, [[SpeaksFluentAnimal N Harmonia]] meets [[TalkingAnimal Meowth]]. N is, quite fittingly for [[NaiveAnimalLover his personality]], baffled that Meowth would go to the trouble of talking like a human when he already has a "beautiful language" of his own. Meowth responds by basically calling N weird.

* ''Reunion Battles in Nimbasa!'': Ash trying to get Trip's attention and is waving him over to the group. Trip ''obviously'' sees Ash via his camera lens but [[SugarAndIcePersonality then decides to ignore him]] after he looks directly at Ash. The expression on Ash's face is priceless.
** Iris getting a bad vibe from her first opponent, someone wearing a ''Watchog costume''.
* Ash's Snivy was alternately made of this and badass in ''Emolga and the New Volt Switch''. Usually by using her Vine Whip to discipline the kinda-{{Jerkass}} Iris' Emolga. The part where Emolga tries to sneak away from the battle with Simisear (that ''she'' caused) and gets grabbed, as if Snivy's saying, "I'll deal with ''you'' after I take care of this." is hilarious.
** Later in the episode, Emolga pulls a WoundedGazelleGambit by explaining how a trio of Watchog tormented her...in a little scene illustrated with ''paper cutouts.'' It's so cute it's funny.
** This episode also has Chivalrous!Oshawott who, being the ButtMonkey of Ash's Unova team, [[EpicFail fails]] at looking cool.
* From the episode before (''Emolga the Irresistable''), Iris' (soon to be) Emolga spreads Attract onto a flock of Swoobat (it fails on the girls, of course). [[EpicFail It also affects Excadrill!]]
* ''Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!'': Oshawott thinks he finds his scalchop and puts it on his chest. It's a Joltik. The little critter is ''not'' happy about this.
* Sawk using Bulk Up in ''The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga vs. Sawk!'', where he strikes some of the most over-the-top and manly poses you can think of. [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6a/Stephan_Sawk_Bulk_Up.png Like this.]]
** More funny is that he does that EVERY TIME he uses Bulk Up. And Bianca goes nuts.
* ''Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!'': After chasing down Zorua for three episode straight, Bianca finally catches her. Zorua GIVES UP running away from Bianca and Bianca later on that night puts clothes on her in reference to the Pokémon Musical subplot. Zorua is not amused.
** Later on in the episode, Bianca taunts Luke into making him move closer to watch Ash and Iris battle. It works.
** Cilan and Burgundy's "Evaluation Time" duet. Enough said.
* The end of ''Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?'' The Purrloin that Meowth and Oshawott fell in love with [[UnsettlingGenderReveal turned out to be a male]]. But he wasn't exactly outright rejecting their advances, either. Their expression is priceless.
** It could have been that he was playing along to get them to help him, but it's funny either way.
** Now Meowth and Oshawott know AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame?
* ''Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym'' might be infuriating for some, but for others it can serve as a fun little CallBack to the gag-based episodes of old.
** To start, Ash beats Zebstrika with Palpitoad quite handily, only for it to get taken out by her Emolga. He then needs to be reminded that Palpitoad was only his first knocked out Pokémon and that he's allowed two more...and he leaves the Gym because he didn't ''bring'' any others! Cue Elesa's WTF look.
--->'''Elesa''': If I may, you didn't by chance bring ''just'' Palpitoad, did you?\\
(''Ash gives an embarrassed laugh'')\\
'''Elesa''': [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Oh... I'll ignore that.]]
** In the same episode, after Snivy and Emolga are unaffected by Attract, Ash proves just how off his game he ''really'' is:
--->'''Ash''': It didn't work!\\
'''Elesa''' You're right; by any chance, would your Snivy happen to be a girl?\\
'''Ash (looking completely embarrassed)''': Argh, of course! ''I totally forgot''!!\\
(Cut to Iris, Cilan, Pikachu and Axew with disbelieving expressions. Cue FaceFault.)\\
'''Iris (eyebrow twitching)''': How many times will it take for Ash to learn that Attract doesn't ''work'' between girls!?\\
'''Cilan''': Good question, although this ''is'' Ash after all!\\
'''Pikachu and Axew (sitting with their backs against each other, sweatdropping)''': "Pika-Pikachu..."/"Axew..."
*** Put that into perspective: He ''forgot his own Pokémon's sex''.
** And ''[[UpToEleven then]]'':
---> '''Ash''': So what? Snivy's a Grass-type Pokémon, so Electric-types moves won't have much effect anyway.
---> '''Elesa (smiling indulgently)''': I think you've forgotten something, Ash.
---> '''Ash''': Huh?
---> '''Elesa''': Emolga may be an Electric-type, but it's also a Flying-type.
---> '''Ash''': Huh...and [[CaptainObvious Flying-type moves are strong against Grass-types]]...''(cue FreakOut expression)'' [[OhCrap OH MAN, SNIVY'S A GRASS-TYPE POKÉMON]]!!
** After Snivy loses, Pikachu straight-up shocks Ash, then goes up to him and shouts in his ear as if to say "JUST USE ME, YOU FREAKING MORON!!"
* Ash manages to be so close to defeating ''the Champion of Unova''...until everyone realizes that Alder was actually ''sleeping''.
** In that same episode, when Ash and Trip first meet up with Alder, the normally calm and collected Trip [[SugarAndIcePersonality goes full-on fanboy and his voice increases to a hilariously childish pitch as he's speaking]].
** Alder's Bouffalant gets increasingly fed up with his inability to take action during the battle (which is funny on its own), so what does Alder do to try and patch things up? Just laugh it off and [[TooDumbToLive smack the large and incredibly powerful bison Pokémon]] ''[[http://willfosho.tumblr.com/post/19673780004 on the butt]]'' [[TooDumbToLive to try and motivate it]]! Suffice to say, he gets a lovely dose of payback when Bouffalant decides to Head Smash him into a tree, but he then manages to laugh ''that'' off, too!.. And then temporarily loses consciousness.
** Alder in general, really. Whether he's being a ChivalrousPervert in a way that would make Brock proud, disobeying law enforcement, [[AccidentalMisnaming forgetting people's names]] and any inspirational advise he might have given them, falling asleep during battles, or getting beat up by his own pissed off Pokémon, he is ''definitely'' getting a lot of mileage as a BunnyEarsLawyer in this episode.
* Ash LOVES food. We all know that. Recently, it seems to have become something of a BerserkButton for him ''and'' Pikachu to see it wasted, judging by their [[NightmareFace Nightmare Faces]] [[http://serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/717.shtml here]]. Completely out of left field, man.
* Meowth's PreAssKickingOneLiner to the Dream Thief in ''Best Wishes'', seen below. His [[UnstoppableRage ludicrously]] [[OutOfCharacterMoment angry]] delivery just makes it better.
--> '''Dream Thief:''' A Meowth that can talk? We'll be rolling in dough! Now just sign this contract...
--> '''Meowth:''' '''AFTER ALL YOU PUT ME THROUGH, I WOULDN'T SIGN YOUR ''REPORT CARD''!!!''' ([[ClothingDamage slashes Dream Thief's clothes off]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome With one attack]]).
** Basically everything Meowth does, falling asleep and messing with Ash (not on purpose) and getting woken up by being spiced. The Dream Thief is hilarious in the Japanese original with his absolutely ridiculous GratuitousFrench which completely steals the spotlight.
* ''Climbing the Tower of Success!'':
** Miles's 3rd question on the contest was whether or not he likes more: Officer Jenny or Nurse Joy.
** Cilan and Stephan cosplaying as Elesa and Nurse Joy, respectively. Cilan can pull it off. Mostly.
*** Made funnier by the fact he lost simply because he was ''too into the role'' and creeped the judge out.
*** Plus Miles is a fan of Elesa, making Cilan's crushed reaction to knowing he probably couldn't have succeeded all the more priceless.
* The mere sight of Tepig and Oshawott in afro wigs in the episode ''"Baffling the Bouffalant"'' is enough to make people laugh '''BEFORE''' the episode ''aired''.
** Snivy absolutely ''refusing'' one also warrants a mention.
** [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/727/DP173.jpg Excadrill's pompadoured afro is a riot!]]
** [[RapunzelHair Iris]] with afro puffs
** It should be noted that the dub of the episode seems to go out of their way ''not'' to say the word "afro". The fact that at least one background track in the episode is noticeably Funkier than you'd expect for the series lets you know that yes, the dubbers know full well that they're not fooling anyone.
* In the Clubsplosion arc, Ash's Scraggy learns to use Focus Blast. However, it's not really very focused, even in the subsequent matches and after intensive training. [[http://i46.servimg.com/u/f46/15/96/40/77/7455fe10.jpg Cue Iris, Cilan, Axew, and Pikachu's hilarious expressions.]]
** In that same arc, Cilan's Evaluation Time getting stopped by Stephan's Sawk's karate chop and its followed up by Pansage's dodge failing against Sawk's low sweep. Followed by Cilan's shocked look and then PANSAGE GETS SMACKED RIGHT INTO CILAN!! The funniest part is the slapstick sound effect that further emphasizes how much Cilan got curb-stomped. This is then followed by the announcer getting Stephan's entire name wrong.
** Bianca's obsession with muscles. That is all.
* This exchange in ''Battling the Leaf Thieves'' (they're walking through a Durants' nest):
--->'''Iris''': Make sure not to bump your heads.
--->'''Cilan''': Got it. ''(promptly knocks his head against a low stalactite)''
** And later continued--
--->'''Iris''': Watch your feet.
--->'''Cilan''': Yeah. ''(immediately slips and falls on the ground, complete with sound effect)''
* From another movie-making episode, they decide to spoof the famous MGM logo...and they had to use a ''Zorua'' instead of a lion analogue! What.
* From ''Crisis at Ferroseed Research'', after the whole moss issue is resolved, Ash thought it would be a good idea to have Pikachu unleash all the electricity stored in his body. So Pikachu lets it out, but the electricity comes back and almost hits Oshawott. Oshawott blocks the electricity with its scalchop but then it hits Ash, Iris, Cilan ''and'' Georgia. When Oshawott turns around to see what happens, he puts his scalchop down and gets electrocuted too.
* From ''Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times'', Dawn's reaction to Cilan's "EVALUATION TIME!" is ''priceless.''
** In the same episode, after the big finish between Piplup and Pansage's battle, Meloetta comes up to dance with Piplup. Oshawott comes out of his Pokéball in a jealous fit and Piplup just [[{{Troll}} reacts]] with an awesome "[[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ku4dztOpy4I/hqdefault.jpg u mad bro?]]" face.
** Additionally, while Dawn, Iris, and Ash are giving their reactions to Cilan's Evaluation Time speech, Cynthia just sits there and still watches ''without being phased or thrown off'' by Cilan. Either she is a master of being stoic or has a WeirdnessCensor. Or both.
* In "Clash Of The Connoisseurs", Cilan's Crustle accidentally sends Burgundy "blasting off" with one of its attacks. At that point, Ash (elsewhere in the general area) looks up and notes that that sounded oddly familiar...
* Scrafty's method of kidnapping Axew in ''Meowth's Scrafty Tactics'' -- it ''shoves Axew into its pants''.
* ''All for the Love of Meloetta!'': The gang and Cynthia are heading out when suddenly, the music turns tense, she mutters "wait just a minute..." and the scene darkens and goes to a close-up of Cynthia's eyes, putting everyone on edge. After about three seconds, [[BrickJoke she finally figures out what flavor of Bearticone she wants.]] Everyone else pretty much ''collapses.''
* ''Jostling for the Junior Cup!'': Alder flirting with Cynthia, and Cynthis rejects him harshly.
--->'''Alder:''' Come on. Let's say that we forget the tournament and grab some lunch.\\
'''Cynthia''': I think you'll be dining alone as usual.
* In ''Lost At The League'', Pikachu's reaction to Oshawott stealing the apples the Trubbish were going to eat. He pulls this blank face as he mutters "Pika Pika" stoically as if to say "Oshawott...you're an idiot." And Emolga doing the same made it even funnier.
* In ''The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!'', Iris wonders why her Dragonite's Dragon Rush didn't do more against Ash's Charizard, [[CriticalResearchFailure as it is a Dragon Type.]] This is quickly followed by three {{beat}} reactions from Ash, Cilan and Pikachu. Charizard, however, has [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe a completely shocked WTF face]] complete with sweatdrop, while Iris's Dragonite just has a "Really? -_-" look.
** N was also included in on the reactions. EpicFail indeed, Iris.
** And just to add further insult, Axew ''laughs at her''.
** This is funny for [[HilariousInHindsight a different reason]] as of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
*** Even funnier! Charizard roars ''incredibly loudly'' on its arrival and Ash, Cilan, Iris and N are barely able to stand up from the roar. Pikachu, ''who is a tiny mouse that is 1'04" tall and weighs 13.2 pounds and probably should be blown miles'', is completely unaffected.
* And then came ''Crowning the Scalchop King,'' where Ash's Oshawott falls in love with Osharina, a female Oshawott. The first attempt made by Oshawott was giving Osharina some flowers, [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps1.shtml but he quickly gets hit in the head by a Dewott nicknamed Caesar.]]
** Then comes the scene where Oshawott tries to use Aqua Jet. Oshawott gets too distracted by Osharina's beauty...[[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps6.shtml which results in Oshawott hitting Ash directly in the head.]]
** Then, after Oshawott wins the battle against Caesar and is crowned the winner, Oshawott goes all heart-eyed again as Ash says a tearful farewell to Oshawott. However, Osharina [[spoiler: rejects Oshawott in the favor of Caesar, who also had a love interest in Osharina]]. [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps11.shtml Oshawott's reaction]] is '''PRICELESS!''' Heck, even Oshawott's '''scalchop breaking in half''' (representing his broken heart) made it much funnier!
*** [[HumiliationConga Naturally, since his scalchop broke, he is immediately stripped of the title of Scalchop King.]]
** At the very end, [[HereWeGoAgain Oshawott falls in love with a female Cinccino]] and proceeds to chase after the Cinccino while holding the flowers he tried to give to Osharina earlier.
* In ''Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!'', Team Plasma grunts are at the white ruins, observing the excavation. They report that nothing has been uncovered by Cedric Juniper's excavation team. Cut to Cedric Juniper...
-->'''Cedric:''' Look! The discovery of the century!
-->'''Researcher 1:''' Huh?
-->'''Researcher 2:''' You've done it Professor Juniper!
-->'''Cedric:''' Hasn't happened yet. Back to work!
* The Best Wishes Decolora Adventure! ending theme ends with an impressive shot of all of Ash's friends and rivals holding hands with one another. Including Paul. ''Paul.'' Holding. Hands.
* ''Cilan And The Case Of The Purrloin Witness'' has CharacterOfTheDay Mr. Shaw make a vow to get the Liepard's Eye jewel and makes an evil laugh though he's not evil. Response? Watchhog slams the door in his face, and it's like it's telling him "Shut up!"
* In ''The Island of Illusions'', Ash runs [[spoiler:Zoroark!]]Nurse Joy and Audino ragged by asking where each one is. So they keep running back and forth and back and forth until they get exhausted.
* The first act of ''The Path That Leads To Goodbye!'' is presented by Cilan as a HowWeGotHere flashback. At the start of the second act, Team Rocket is preparing to ambush the twerps, and Meowth gets his own HowWeGotHere flashback...to a ten-second scene of them deciding to ambush them. Jessie even calls out his bizarre narration by the end.
* In ''Capacia Island UFO!'' Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket confront the Beheeyems about them hypnotizing the rest of the islanders (as well as Mewoth who they're using to communicate) and ask why ''they'' weren't hypnotized. As it turns out, "idiots are hard to hypnotize." [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_888.png The groups reaction makes it even better.]]
** Even funnier because in Pikachu's case, he ''was'' hypnotized earlier, so he's not technically part of the above statement.
* Pignite in ''The Journalist From Another Region'' beats down several Pokemon in the tournament including a [[LazyBum Slaking]]...but he didn't need to beat it up. Instead, he beat it because Slaking was, well, slacking off!
* In ''Curtain Up, Unova League'', everyone suddenly starts pronouncing Stephan's name correctly. He's about to correct them out of habit when he realizes they got it right and incredulously asks them what they just called him. Iris says it again and asks, "That's your name, isn't it?" and everyone just generally acted like that's how they'd been pronouncing it all along.
* In ''Pirates of the Decalore Islands'', Oshawott tries to stand up to the pirates only for Octillery to spray ink in its face. Oshawott willingly retreats into its Pokéball instead of the usual having Ash recall it.
* In the undubbed special episode focusing on Cilan, he captures a fleeing criminal by having Crustle come out from its Pokeball in midair so that it falls and traps the fugitive under its weight.
* In one episode, [[SpeaksFluentAnimal N Harmonia]] meets [[TalkingAnimal Meowth]]. N is, quite fittingly for [[NaiveAnimalLover his personality]], baffled that Meowth would go to the trouble of talking like a human when he already has a "beautiful language" of his own. Meowth responds by basically calling N weird.

* ''Best Wishes'' has already had a large number. The first: Ash testing out Pikachu's newly-recharged electric attacks by having Pikachu use Thundershock and Volt Tackle on him. The Volt Tackle ends with him woozily saying "You're definitely alright...", then falling over twitching. Then the entire meeting with Iris, and him climbing up a tree and then ''jumping into the air'' to try and rescue Pikachu and Axew, before missing while trying to grab the glass cage and falling back down to the ground.

Pidove gets freaked out by Scraggy's Headbutt. Oshawott gets so mad ''he has to be pulled off Scraggy''. Then he tries taking on Tepig and eventually Snivy, who casually jumps off a rock so Scraggy crashes into it and then casually holding Scraggy off with her vines. And then he headbutts Ash.

Then the entire meeting with Iris, and him climbing up a tree and then ''jumping into the air'' to try and rescue Pikachu and Axew, before missing while trying to grab the glass cage and falling back down to the ground.
* When Ash tried to catch Snivy, she takes advantage of his Pokémon by using Attract on all the males, disabling them from fighting. Left with only one choice, he sends Pidove. As luck would have it, [[SamusIsAGirl Pidove is also female]]. [[WhatAnIdiot Ash did not know that beforehand]], to the annoyance of Pikachu, Iris, and Cilan.
* In the ninth episode of ''Best Wishes'' (''The Bloom is on Axew!''), the beginning shows Axew's first onscreen battle. Cilan's Pansage...beats it in a CurbStompBattle while still going VERY easy on the little dragon.
** And right after that, when Axew attempts to get serious. Axew charges his Dragon Rage up in such a dramatic way...and then sneezes. Needless to say, the whole place within a ten foot radius is a bit decimated, leaving everyone burnt and twitching.
*** Cilan then dubs the attack "Dragon Sneeze." Iris is '''not''' amused.
** At the end of the episode, Iris has had enough of Ash challenging her and Axew, and tells him that ''he'' should be the one to battle Pikachu himself. Ash proceeds to do ''[[LiteralMinded just that]]''.
* ''Scraggy: Hatched to be Wild!'' Ash's Scraggy finally hatches from its egg. Later, when Ash's other Pokémon try to greet him, he tries to fight him all. Pidove gets freaked out by Scraggy's Headbutt. Oshawott gets so mad ''he has to be pulled off Scraggy''. Then he tries taking on Tepig and eventually Snivy, who casually jumps off a rock so Scraggy crashes into it and then casually holding Scraggy off with her vines. And then he headbutts Ash.
** From that same episode, [[http://images.wikia.com/es.pokemon/images/e/e3/EP677_Zuruggu_usando_malicioso.png Scraggy using Leer]].
* A wild Minccino using Tickle on Bianca's Pignite in [=BW013=] (''Minccino- Neat and Tidy!''). That is all.
** And then using Attract on Ash's Snivy.
** We also see that same Pignite acting a lot like [[CloudCuckooLander his]] [[TheDitz trainer]]. It's too much for words.
** Cilan crying over Bianca dirtying his cutlery; it's not something you'd expect from him...
** The Minccino stuffing Ash's badge case in its mouth.
** How the Minccino was caught can also qualify. Once Bianca is ready to catch him, she pulls out a very dirty Poke Ball, but takes so much time doing so that he gets away. Howver, out of instinct, he goes over to clean the Poke Ball, accidentally getting caught in the process.
* In the ''The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice'', Meowth is disguised as an Umbreon to provide a distraction. When he is finally cornered, his pursuers burst into [[ManlyTears tears of joy]] from "discovering the first Umbreon in Unova." This makes Meowth feel guilty, so he confesses that he is really just a talking Meowth. Only after he escapes do the pursuers realize that a talking Meowth is also rare, leading them to burst into tears once more.
* ''Scare at Litwick Mansion!'': Cilan screaming like a little girl. That. Is. All.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2gd0cxx8zM Cilan screams like a girl for almost ten minutes.]]
* Burgundy's ImagineSpot of Evil Cilan in ''A Connoisseur's Revenge'', complete with the evil laugh. Pansage's menacing expression in the background also helps.
** At one point, she attempts to evaluate Ash's Snivy by ''licking her.''
*** ''And'' gets vine-whipped in the tongue for her trouble.
*** All of the Pokemon's abusing her is pretty funny but Pikachu takes the cake. You can mock his trainer and insult his friends, but the moment you declare he isn't cute is the moment where he deals out [[DisproportionateRetribution 10000 volts of electricity.]]
* Iris and Georgia's interactions as rivals. It's basically a CatFight without any actual fighting, and it's ''hilarious''.
* In ''Reunion Battles in Nimbasa'', Ash is trying to get Trip's attention and is waving him over to the group. Trip ''obviously'' sees Ash via his camera lens but [[SugarAndIcePersonality then decides to ignore him]] after he looks directly at Ash. The expression on Ash's face is priceless.
** Iris getting a bad vibe from her first opponent, someone wearing a ''Watchog costume''.
* Ash's Snivy was alternately made of this and badass in ''Emolga and the New Volt Switch''. Usually by using her Vine Whip to discipline the kinda-{{Jerkass}} Iris' Emolga. The part where Emolga tries to sneak away from the battle with Simisear (that ''she'' caused) and gets grabbed, as if Snivy's saying, "I'll deal with ''you'' after I take care of this." is hilarious.
** Later in the episode, Emolga pulls a WoundedGazelleGambit by explaining how a trio of Watchog tormented her...in a little scene illustrated with ''paper cutouts.'' It's so cute it's funny.
** This episode also has Chivalrous!Oshawott who, being the ButtMonkey of Ash's Unova team, [[EpicFail fails]] at looking cool.
* From the episode before (''Emolga the Irresistable''), Iris' (soon to be) Emolga spreads Attract onto a flock of Swoobat (it fails on the girls, of course). [[EpicFail It also affects Excadrill!]]
* ''Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!'': Oshawott thinks he finds his scalchop and puts it on his chest. It's a Joltik. The little critter is ''not'' happy about this.
* Sawk using Bulk Up in ''The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga vs. Sawk!'', where he strikes some of the most over-the-top and manly poses you can think of. [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/6a/Stephan_Sawk_Bulk_Up.png Like this.]]
** More funny is that he does that EVERY TIME he uses Bulk Up. And Bianca goes nuts.
* In ''Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome'', after chasing down Zorua for three episode straight, Bianca finally catches her. Zorua GIVES UP running away from Bianca and Bianca later on that night puts clothes on her in reference to the Pokémon Musical subplot. Zorua is not amused.
** Later on in the episode, Bianca taunts Luke into making him move closer to watch Ash and Iris battle. It works.
** Cilan and Burgundy's "Evaluation Time" duet. Enough said.
* The end of ''Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?'' The Purrloin that Meowth and Oshawott fell in love with [[UnsettlingGenderReveal turned out to be a male]]. But [[BiTheWay he wasn't exactly outright rejecting their advances, either]]. Their expression is priceless.
** It could have been that he was playing along to get them to help him, but it's funny either way.
** Now Meowth and Oshawott know AllThereIsToKnowAboutTheCryingGame?
* In ''Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym'', Ash needs to be reminded that Palpitoad was only his first knocked out Pokémon and that he's allowed two more...and he leaves the Gym because he didn't ''bring'' any others! Cue Elesa's WTF look.
** In the same episode, after Snivy and Emolga are unaffected by Attract, Ash proves just how off his game he ''really'' is:
--->'''Ash''': It didn't work!\\
'''Elesa''' You're right; by any chance, would your Snivy happen to be a girl?\\
'''Ash (looking completely embarrassed)''': Argh, of course! ''I totally forgot''!!\\
(Cut to Iris, Cilan, Pikachu and Axew with disbelieving expressions. Cue FaceFault.)\\
'''Iris (eyebrow twitching)''': How many times will it take for Ash to learn that Attract doesn't ''work'' between girls!?\\
'''Cilan''': Good question, although this ''is'' Ash after all!\\
'''Pikachu and Axew (sitting with their backs against each other, sweatdropping)''': "Pika..."/"Axew..."
*** Put that into perspective: He ''forgot his own Pokémon's sex''.
** And ''[[UpToEleven then]]'':
--> '''Ash''': So what? Snivy's a Grass-type Pokémon, so Electric-types moves won't have much effect anyway.
--> '''Elesa (smiling indulgently)''': You're forgetting something, Ash.
--> '''Ash''': Huh?
--> '''Elesa''': Emolga may be an Electric-type, but it's also a Flying-type.
--> '''Ash''': Huh...and [[CaptainObvious Flying-type moves are strong against Grass-types]]...''(cue FreakOut expression)'' [[OhCrap OH MAN, SNIVY'S A GRASS-TYPE POKÉMON]]!!
* Ash manages to be so close to defeating ''the Champion of Unova''...until everyone realizes that Alder was actually ''sleeping''.
** In that same episode, when Ash and Trip first meet up with Alder, the normally calm and collected Trip [[{{Kuudere}} goes full-on fanboy and his voice increases to a hilariously childish pitch as he's speaking]].
** Alder's Bouffalant gets increasingly fed up with his inability to take action during the battle (which is funny on its own), so what does Alder do to try and patch things up? Just laugh it off and [[TooDumbToLive smack the large and incredibly powerful bison Pokémon]] ''[[http://willfosho.tumblr.com/post/19673780004 on the butt]]'' [[TooDumbToLive to try and motivate it]]! Suffice to say, he gets a lovely dose of payback when Bouffalant decides to Head Smash him into a tree, but he then manages to laugh ''that'' off, too!.. And then temporarily loses consciousness.
** Alder in general, really. Whether he's being a ChivalrousPervert in a way that would make Brock proud, disobeying law enforcement, [[AccidentalMisnaming forgetting people's names]] and any inspirational advise he might have given them, falling asleep during battles, or getting beat up by his own pissed off Pokémon, he is ''definitely'' getting a lot of mileage as a BunnyEarsLawyer in this episode.
* Ash LOVES food. We all know that. Recently, it seems to have become something of a BerserkButton for him ''and'' Pikachu to see it wasted, judging by their [[NightmareFace Nightmare Faces]] [[http://serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/717.shtml here]]. Completely out of left field, man.
* Meowth's PreAssKickingOneLiner to the Dream Thief in ''Best Wishes'', seen below. His [[UnstoppableRage ludicrously]] [[OutOfCharacterMoment angry]] delivery just makes it better.
--> '''Dream Thief:''' A Meowth that can talk? We'll be rolling in dough! Now just sign this contract...
--> '''Meowth:''' '''AFTER ALL YOU PUT ME THROUGH, I WOULDN'T SIGN YOUR ''REPORT CARD''!!!''' ([[ClothingDamage slashes Dream Thief's clothes off]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome With one attack]]).
** Basically everything Meowth does, falling asleep and messing with Ash (not on purpose) and getting woken up by being spiced. The Dream Thief is hilarious in the Japanese original with his absolutely ridiculous GratuitousFrench which completely steals the spotlight
* Cilan and Stephan cosplaying as Elesa and Nurse Joy, respectively. Cilan can pull it off. Mostly.
** Made funnier by the fact he lost simply because he was ''too into the role'' and creeped the judge out.
** Plus the judge is a fan of Elesa, making Cilan's crushed reaction to knowing he probably couldn't have succeeded all the more priceless.
* The mere sight of Tepig and Oshawott in afro wigs in the episode ''"Baffling the Bouffalant"'' is enough to make people laugh '''BEFORE''' the episode ''aired''.
** Snivy absolutely ''refusing'' one also warrants a mention.
** [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/727/DP173.jpg Excadrill's pompadoured afro is a riot!]]
** [[RapunzelHair Iris]] with afro puffs
** It should be noted that the dub of the episode seems to go out of their way ''not'' to say the word "afro". The fact that at least one background track in the episode is noticeably Funkier than you'd expect for the series lets you know that yes, the dubbers know full well that they're not fooling anyone.
* In the Clubsplosion arc, Ash's Scraggy learns to use Focus Blast. However, it's not really very focused, even in the subsequent matches and after intensive training. [[http://i46.servimg.com/u/f46/15/96/40/77/7455fe10.jpg Cue Iris, Cilan, Axew, and Pikachu's hilarious expressions.]]
** In that same arc, Cilan's Evaluation Time getting stopped by Stephan's Sawk's karate chop and its followed up by Pansage's dodge failing against Sawk's low sweep. Followed by Cilan's shocked look and then PANSAGE GETS SMACKED RIGHT INTO CILAN!! The funniest part is the slapstick sound effect that further emphasizes how much Cilan got curb-stomped. This is then followed by the announcer getting Stephan's entire name wrong.
** Bianca's obsession with muscles. That is all.
* This exchange in ''Battling the Leaf Thieves'' (they're walking through a Durants' nest):
--->'''Iris''': Make sure not to bump your heads.
--->'''Cilan''': Got it. ''(promptly knocks his head against a low stalactite)''
** And later continued--
--->'''Iris''': Watch your feet.
--->'''Cilan''': Yeah. ''(immediately slips and falls on the ground, complete with sound effect)''
* From another movie-making episode, they decide to spoof the famous MGM logo...and they had to use a ''Zorua'' instead of a lion analogue! What.
* From ''Crisis at Ferroseed Research'', after the whole moss issue is resolved, Ash thought it would be a good idea to have Pikachu unleash all the electricity stored in his body. So Pikachu lets it out, but the electricity comes back and almost hits Oshawott. Oshawott blocks the electricity with its scalchop but then it hits Ash, Iris, Cilan ''and'' Georgia. When Oshawott turns around to see what happens, he puts his scalchop down and gets electrocuted too.
* From ''Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times'', Dawn's reaction to Cilan's "EVALUATION TIME!" is ''priceless.''
** In the same episode, after the big finish between Piplup and Pansage's battle, Meloetta comes up to dance with Piplup. Oshawott comes out of his Pokeball in a jealous fit and Piplup just reacts with an awesome "u mad bro?" face.
** Additionally, while Dawn, Iris, and Ash are giving their reactions to Cilan's Evaluation Time speech, Cynthia just sits there and still watches ''without being phased or thrown off'' by Cilan. Either she is a master of being stoic or has a WeirdnessCensor.
* In "Clash Of The Connoisseurs", Cilan's Crustle accidentally sends Burgundy "blasting off" with one of its attacks. At that point, Ash (elsewhere in the general area) looks up and notes that that sounded oddly familiar...
* Scrafty's method of kidnapping Axew in ''Meowth's Scrafty Tactics'' -- it ''shoves Axew into its pants''.
* ''All for the Love of Meloetta!'': The gang and Cynthia are heading out when suddenly, the music turns tense, she mutters "wait just a minute..." and the scene darkens and goes to a close-up of Cynthia's eyes, putting everyone on edge. After about three seconds, [[BrickJoke she finally figures out what flavor of Bearticone she wants.]] Everyone else pretty much ''collapses.''
* In ''Lost At The League'', Pikachu's reaction to Oshawott stealing the apples the Trubbish were going to eat. He pulls this blank face as he mutters "Pika Pika" stoically as if to say "Oshawott...you're an idiot." And Emolga doing the same made it even funnier.
* In ''The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!'', Iris wonders why her Dragonite's Dragon Rush didn't do more against Ash's Charizard, [[CriticalResearchFailure as it is a Dragon Type.]] This is quickly followed by three {{beat}} reactions from Ash, Cilan and Pikachu. Charizard, however, has [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe a completely shocked WTF face]] complete with sweatdrop, while Iris's Dragonite just has a "Really? -_-" look.
** N was also included in on the reactions. EpicFail indeed, Iris.
** And just to add further insult, Axew ''laughs at her''.
** This is funny for [[HilariousInHindsight a different reason]] as of ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
* And then came ''Crowning the Scalchop King,'' where Ash's Oshawott falls in love with Osharina, a female Oshawott. The first attempt made by Oshawott was giving Osharina some flowers, [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps1.shtml but he quickly gets hit in the head by a Dewott nicknamed Caesar.]]
** Then comes the scene where Oshawott tries to use Aqua Jet. Oshawott gets too distracted by Osharina's beauty...[[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps6.shtml which results in Oshawott hitting Ash directly in the head.]]
** Then, after Oshawott wins the battle against Caesar and is crowned the winner, Oshawott goes all heart-eyed again as Ash says a tearful farewell to Oshawott. However, Osharina [[spoiler: rejects Oshawott in the favor of Caesar, who also had a love interest in Osharina]]. [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/bestwishes/787ps11.shtml Oshawott's reaction]] is '''PRICELESS!''' Heck, even Oshawott's '''scalchop breaking in half''' (representing his broken heart) made it much funnier!
*** [[HumiliationConga Naturally, since his scalchop broke, he is immediately stripped of the title of Scalchop King.]]
** At the very end, [[HereWeGoAgain Oshawott falls in love with a female Cinccino]] and proceeds to chase after the Cinccino while holding the flowers he tried to give to Osharina earlier.
* In ''Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!'', Team Plasma grunts are at the white ruins, observing the excavation. They report that nothing has been uncovered by Cedric Juniper's excavation team. Cut to Cedric Juniper...
-->'''Cedric:''' Look! The discovery of the century!
-->'''Researcher 1:''' Huh?
-->'''Researcher 2:''' You've done it Professor Juniper!
-->'''Cedric:''' Hasn't happened yet. Back to work!
* The Best Wishes Decolora Adventure! ending theme ends with an impressive shot of all of Ash's friends and rivals holding hands with one another. Including Paul. ''Paul.'' Holding. Hands.
* ''Cilan And The Case Of The Purrloin Witness'' has CharacterOfTheDay Mr. Shaw make a vow to get the Liepard's Eye jewel and makes an evil laugh though he's not evil. Response? Watchhog slams the door in his face, and it's like it's telling him "Shut up!"
* In ''The Island of Illusions'', Ash runs [[spoiler:Zoroark!]]Nurse Joy and Audino ragged by asking where each one is. So they keep running back and forth and back and forth until they get exhausted.
* The first act of ''The Path That Leads To Goodbye!'' is presented by Cilan as a HowWeGotHere flashback. At the start of the second act, Team Rocket is preparing to ambush the twerps, and Meowth gets his own HowWeGotHere flashback... to a ten-second scene of them deciding to ambush them. Jessie even calls out his bizarre narration by the end.
* In ''Capacia Island UFO!'' Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket confront the Beheeyems about them hypnotizing the rest of island (as well as Mewoth who they're using to communicate) and ask why ''they'' weren't hypnotized. As it turns out, "idiots are hard to hypnotize." [[http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Pikachu315111/AshTeamRocketIdiot_zps1ac82b42.png The groups reaction makes it even better.]]
** Even funnier because in Pikachu's case, he ''was'' hypnotized earlier, so he's not technically part of the above statement.
* Pignite in ''The Journalist From Another Region'' beats down several Pokemon in the tournament including a [[LazyBum Slaking]]...but he didn't need to beat it up. Instead, he beat it because Slaking was, well, slacking off!
* In ''Curtain Up, Unova League'', everyone suddenly starts pronouncing Stephan's name correctly. He's about to correct them out of habit when he realizes they got it right and incredulously asks them what they just called him.
