[[caption-width-right:350:You think you're funny? Don’t ya? Listen Mister-! You nasty and selfish spoiled brat! Apologize!]]

* A lot of things Barry says and does.
-->'''Barry''': "Yeah?! Well, that means it's your fault! I want a fine in ten seconds! Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four-"
* Cynthia is shown to be rather...indecisive when it comes to snacks. The first time this happens, it prompts Meowth to comment: "Imagine her at the grocery store!"
* Any and all of Croagunk's antics ([[{{Beat}} or lack thereof]]).
* Anytime Brock flirts with a girl and receives a Poison Jab from Croagunk.
** In Episode 50, the girl '''rejects''' Brock and Croagunk is left wondering what to do with his readied Poison Jab.
* Paul's jerkassery can be so deliberate and mean that sometimes it's [[ComedicSociopathy just plain hilarious.]]
* Anything Byron says in ''Ancient Family Matters!'' and ''Dealing With Defensive Types''. Played as an [[LargeHam ENORMOUS Ham]] by Creator/DanGreen, and constantly yelling about how much he loves things, such as his Steelix, Defense, and Fossils. Complete with [[StuffBlowingUp random explosions]] every time he proclaims his love.
* Ash's Gible is pretty much a walking Funny generator. In one episode, Team Rocket are about to get into their newest Giant Mecha, only to find out that Gible ''has already eaten it''.
* A minor one, but seeing Team Rocket ''root for Ash'' during the ''Sinnoh League Victors'' season was worth a few chuckles.
* Anytime Rhonda gets smacked on the head with a boom mic and then angrily ranting at the operator that he will be demoted to the mail room. Bonus points if she does it in the middle of a [[IsThisThingStillOn live broadcasting]].

* The starter Chimchar and soon-to-be-Dawn's Piplup get into a fight, eventually escaping the laboratory and running off. What's the starter Turtwig doing the entire time? [[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting Munching away at its bowl of Pokémon food!]]
* Dawn getting lost on her way to Professor Rowan's lab.
-->'''Dawn''': Not there!...Wrong way!...I want my mom!

[[AC:[=DP002=]]]
* After [[RunningGag accidentally destroying Dawn's bike]] an unamused Pikachu scratches his head and mutters his name in a tone that says [[OhNoNotAgain "Story of my life"]].

* Dawn's [[UnstoppableRage reactions]] to Paul not remembering who she is. The first time is accompanied by a volcano erupting in the background. The second time? Not only has Dawn turned bright red and has [[RedEyesTakeWarning huge glowing red eyes]], but the background is of ''the sun splitting into quarters.'' Brock has to run in and restrain a kicking and screaming Dawn.
-->'''Dawn''': Wha-what's wrong?
-->'''Paul''': What's wrong? Who are you?
-->'''Dawn''': Excuse ''ME'', your rudeness, but we've met once before, the name's Dawn!

-->'''Brock''': Alright, come on, Dawn! Calm down!

** Even better? During this scene, fans noticed that Pikachu was looking up Dawn's skirt, sparking the image macro [[http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Pikachu_9c7667_1105999.jpg "Pikachu: He knows where the goods are."]]

At one point, they all try to jump on it at once, but Pachirisu runs out from ''underneath'' them a second before they hit the ground, so all six Pokémon smash head-first into each other at the same time.

[[AC:[=DP026=]]]
* When Kenny first meets Dawn's friends, he shares embarrassing stories about Dawn from when they were 5 - like how she tried to "fix" a haircut she hated and ended up looking like a Chimchar, or when she sneezed during a school production. Ash, Brock, Pikachu and Piplup looked to be nearly ''bursting'' from the suppressed laughter each time - and laugh ''precisely when she shouts at them indignantly''!
** Then Kenny mentions Dawn coming to school in [[RummageSaleReject pajamas and mismatched shoes.]] You could hear people laugh at that from space.

What does he do? Proceeds to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXME8VC2BaI imitate several Pokemon]], including Buneary, Lotad, Seviper and Wobbuffet. Even funnier is that when Pikachu imitates Wobbuffet, they added in the Pokéball opening sound!
* James trying to use Mime Jr.'s Teeter Dance to stop our heroes from chasing them in their hot air balloon. It ends up confusing Dustox and Meowth instead - and Meowth is the one steering the balloon! It's also tied with the following:
-->'''Meowth:''' First the movie short, then TV, and now this!
* Dawn's Piplup also takes part and while he's doing OK as a Weedle, he gets a little bit too excited and proceeds to use Bubblebeam...

* Team Rocket hierarchy suffers through the episode with James and Meowth refusing to take part in their scheme, during their mantra the upbeat music suddenly stops whenever James and Meowth speak their lines while they speak in a depressed manner

-->'''James:''' Join our pity party there's plenty of room.

* Team Rocket bothers the twerps multiple times in this episode, to the point where their last interruption causes Dawn, Pikachu, and Brock to riff on the old motto (though it’s unclear how Dawn knows said motto). This irritates James, and he calls out Cacnea, who is its usual clingy self:

An attempt to catch Gliscor goes awry when an attack from Gliscor knocks Electabuzz into Weavile. And then both of them going crashing into Paul. He probably felt that one the next morning.

* A rare one for Giovanni (the real non-Meowth fantasy one). The trio finally snag a Yanma the heroes were after and deliver it to the boss, convinced he will be overjoyed by what his top men delivered him. Cut to his lair, when his assistants notify him about the gift, he tries to remember who the three are before he goes back to petting Persian.
* After the three are handed back the Yanma (since the organisation already had plentiful supplies) they convince themselves that the boss put them in charge of it as a token of gratitude and decide to go on a spree collecting more. The rest of the episode has them in a manic high from their "reward". Doubles as Awesome moment since they also berserk attack the heroes in the process, leaving them all rather dazed and creeped out.
-->'''Meowth:''' ''*eyes bulging*'' WHAT DO YOU TWERPS THINK YOU'RE DOING FLAMING OUR GORGEOUSLY GIFTED YANMA STRAIGHT FROM THE BOOOSSSSS?!?
-->'''James:''' It's that sort of insensitivity that needs to be repaid in spades!!!

* Team Rocket goes back to the basics after discovering they've gone soft. Towards the end of the episode, they've basically won, having successfully obtained all the Pokéballs from a Pokemon Center and about to stomp off in their HumongousMecha. Then Pikachu zaps them, and the mecha explodes. Why? Because Meowth thought they were getting back to basics, and so made the mecha non-resistant to electric attacks.

[[AC:[=DP093=]]]

[[AC:[=DP094=]]]
* Gliscor's antics; from volunteering to be the one to fetch Brock (Staravia got selected instead), and Brock attempting to carry it on the back (too heavy, so Brock had to leave it behind, promising to go back to Gliscor later). But then, the gang forgot all about Gliscor until the ''[[BrickJoke very end of the episode!]]''
** It's even funnier when Ash [[BreakingTheFourthWall interrupts the narrator's closing monologue]] to remind the audience that "we forgot Gliscor!"

[[AC:[=DP095=]]]
* Ash and his Pokémon trying to think of a way to counter Fantina's Hypnosis, only for themselves to fall asleep as they do. Ash's reaction after he realizes his Pokémon are snoozing is what sells the scene.

* A large chunk of the episode is taken up by the father-son feud (or, as Pokémopolis put it, "dick-waving contest") between Roark and Byron, which consists mainly of screaming about how they love fossils more than the other does
** Bonus points for his opinion of Team Rocket, which emphasizes their talent at digging exquisite holes and ignores their attempt to run off with his fossils.
---> '''Byron''': Listen up! I got something I want to say to you three! ''[Team Rocket stares at him]'' Clearly, you're all skilled diggers, but why not lose the machines and dig your happy holes by hand?\\
''[Team Rocket facefaults]''\\
'''Jessie''': [[LampshadeHanging What's up with him and holes?]]\\
'''Meowth''': Weird.
* After going to investigate a noise in the room where Byron keeps his fossils:
---> '''Byron:''' Look.
---> '''Roark:''' Somebody dug this hole!
---> '''Byron:''' I don't believe it! *long pause* and still, I love this hole! *everyone else facefaults*
---> '''Ash:''' You do? What do you mean?
---> '''Byron:''' Give it a good look! Look how perfectly shaped it is! How it slopes gently downwards! Whoever dug this hole has the skill and craftsmanship of a fearsome hole-digger! *everyone else facefaults* I just got to track down the artisan who did this! Imagine what this cand do for excavations!
---> '''Roark:''' Hey, Dad! you better have a look over there!
---> '''Byron:''' It can't be! *points to another hole* Closer examination reveals this hole was [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything dug by]] [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann a machine]]. *everyone else facefaults*
---> '''Brock:''' Not that!
---> '''Roark:''' Can't you see that all of your fossils have been ''STOLEN''?!
---> '''Byron:''' Stolen? Nooo! My precious fossil collection is gone!
** Even funnier? In the Japanese version of that scene, Byron's deep, gruff voice becomes hilariously high pitched for one sentence when he talks about how well they dug the hole.
** There's a reason he's an EnsembleDarkhorse among the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, despite having (alongside Crasher Wake) the smallest episode count of all eight of them.

[[AC:[=DP108=]]]
* Gliscor defeats Byron's Bastiodon, earning Ash the Mine Badge in the process. Ash starts complimenting Gliscor, but its clearly overjoyed and crashes into him, then proceeds to smother him affectionately.

* The main villain is a female Togepi that's causing trouble. She's used Attract to take over Pikachu, Piplup, Croagunk, and Meowth. Brock's solution? Call out Happiny to smack all four of them back to normal.
** It's also hilarious because when they're all on the Rocket (just after Happiny has restored the guys to their senses), Happiny and Togepi have the baby Pokémon equivalent to a ''cat-fight'' (while everyone else is trying to get control of the rocket).
** When Togepi uses Attract, it also hits Jessie's Yanmega. The attack doesn't work, and once Brock explains that Attract only works on targets of the opposite gender, Jessie freaks out about the fact that her Pokémon is a female. Yanmega ''blushes in confirmation''.

When Gible then decides to try to nom on Piplup's head...well, let's just say that the penguin Pokémon [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPaWZVCC6Eo finally snaps]]. This is followed up by Piplup envisioning Ash and Dawn scolding Gible, and how Piplup sees Dawn.
** Not to mention that, when Piplup snaps out of its delusion, we see that it's actually been nuzzling up against ''[[HoYay Pikachu]]'', who is just sitting there with a -_- look on its face. It then pats Piplup on the head in a "there, there" sort of way, then runs off to be with Ash, Dawn, and Brock.
* How does Gible locate Piplup? Well, [[InsaneTrollLogic since his failed Draco Meteors always home on him, then if he shoots one straight up, it will land exactly on the penguin Pojemon.]] ''[[TheCuckoolanderWasRight And it works.]]''

* The group get separated from Piplup and Buck after getting attacked by Graveler. After fighting off a Golem with Gible, the group say they have to find Piplup. The method they use? Gible using Draco Meteor, to Dawn's dismay. It works of course, with Piplup taking a hit for its troubles. And to top it all off, Piplup rather begrudgingly ''thanks'' Gible for its help.
** Even funnier when it was the fact that: 1) Dawn could tell what Gible was about to do a mile away and 2) the meteor defies physics by traversing a cave system to find the penguin.

[[AC:[=DP182=]]]
* Faced with Team Rocket's HumongousMecha, Ash decided to call on his Snorlax to literally take it down (since Ash used a similar tactic a hundred episodes back, during the beginning of the Battle Frontier saga). Then they found out that Snorlax had ''gone to sleep''. That's not the hilarious part; what's really hilarious was that Snorlax really did take the mecha down (albeit temporarily), by ''rolling over it''.
* Once Team Rocket's been taken care of, Ash asks for the rest of his Pokémon, cue Glalie freezing him and Torkoal thawing him out, with a Flamethrower [[RumpRoast in a questionable spot]].
* Poor Bulbasaur. The only one of the originals to appear, made worse since it involves him getting assaulted by Heracross, ''again''.
** Credit to him, he ''does'' get revenge by whipping Heracross away. Heracross then ''moves onto Oak's head'' and tries to suck nectar out of ''his'' head.
* Snorlax's return has him picking up Pikachu and ''licking him affectionately'' in greeting. Pikachu, for his part, doesn't seem to mind. Ash returns Snorlax to his Pokeball and Pikachu ''gently floats to the ground.''
* Some of the weapons on Team Rocket's giant Mecha... are a fly swatter, a plunger, a giant pair of cooking tongs, a net, a large paper fan, one of those things you use in Mathematics to draw triangles, a ''giant pink hammer'' and '''an enormous pair of scissors'''.

[[caption-width-right:350:You think you're funny? Don’t ya? Listen Mister-! You nasty and selfish spoiled brat! Apologize!]]

* A lot of things Barry says and does.
-->'''Barry''': "Yeah?! Well, that means it's your fault! I want a fine in ten seconds! Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four-"
* Cynthia is shown to be rather...indecisive when it comes to snacks. The first time this happens, it prompts Meowth to comment: "Imagine her at the grocery store!"
* Any and all of Croagunk's antics ([[{{Beat}} or lack thereof]]).
* Anytime Brock flirts with a girl and receives a Poison Jab from Croagunk.
** In Episode 50, the girl '''rejects''' Brock and Croagunk is left wondering what to do with his readied Poison Jab.
* Paul's jerkassery can be so deliberate and mean that sometimes it's [[ComedicSociopathy just plain hilarious.]]
* Anything Byron says in ''Ancient Family Matters!'' and ''Dealing With Defensive Types''. Played as an [[LargeHam ENORMOUS Ham]] by Creator/DanGreen, and constantly yelling about how much he loves things, such as his Steelix, Defense, and Fossils. Complete with [[StuffBlowingUp random explosions]] every time he proclaims his love.
* Ash's Gible is pretty much a walking Funny generator. In one episode, Team Rocket are about to get into their newest Giant Mecha, only to find out that Gible ''has already eaten it''.
* A minor one, but seeing Team Rocket ''root for Ash'' during the ''Sinnoh League Victors'' season was worth a few chuckles.
* Anytime Rhonda gets smacked on the head with a boom mic and then angrily ranting at the operator that he will be demoted to the mail room. Bonus points if she does it in the middle of a [[IsThisThingStillOn live broadcasting]].

* Dawn getting lost on her way to Professor Rowan's lab.
-->'''Dawn''': Not there!...Wrong way!...I want my mom!

[[AC:[=DP002=]]]

* Dawn's [[UnstoppableRage reactions]] to Paul not remembering who she is. The first time is accompanied by a volcano erupting in the background. The second time? Not only has Dawn turned bright red and has [[RedEyesTakeWarning huge glowing red eyes]], but the background is of ''the sun splitting into quarters.'' Brock has to run in and restrain a kicking and screaming Dawn.
-->'''Dawn''': Wha-what's wrong?

At one point, they all try to jump on it at once, but Pachirisu runs out from ''underneath'' them a second before they hit the ground, so all six Pokémon smash head-first into each other at the same time.

[[AC:[=DP026=]]]
* When Kenny first meets Dawn's friends, he shares embarrassing stories about Dawn from when they were 5 - like how she tried to "fix" a haircut she hated and ended up looking like a Chimchar, or when she sneezed during a school production. Ash, Brock, Pikachu and Piplup looked to be nearly ''bursting'' from the suppressed laughter each time - and laugh ''precisely when she shouts at them indignantly''!
** Then Kenny mentions Dawn coming to school in [[RummageSaleReject pajamas and mismatched shoes.]] You could hear people laugh at that from space.

What does he do? Proceeds to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXME8VC2BaI imitate several Pokemon]], including Buneary, Lotad, Seviper and Wobbuffet. Even funnier is that when Pikachu imitates Wobbuffet, they added in the Pokéball opening sound!
* James trying to use Mime Jr.'s Teeter Dance to stop our heroes from chasing them in their hot air balloon. It ends up confusing Dustox and Meowth instead - and Meowth is the one steering the balloon! It's also tied with the following:
-->'''Meowth:''' First the movie short, then TV, and now this!

* Team Rocket hierarchy suffers through the episode with James and Meowth refusing to take part in their scheme, during their mantra the upbeat music suddenly stops whenever James and Meowth speak their lines while they speak in a depressed manner

-->'''James:''' Join our pity party there's plenty of room.

* Team Rocket bothers the twerps multiple times in this episode, to the point where their last interruption causes Dawn, Pikachu, and Brock to riff on the old motto (though it’s unclear how Dawn knows said motto). This irritates James, and he calls out Cacnea, who is its usual clingy self:

* A rare one for Giovanni (the real non-Meowth fantasy one). The trio finally snag a Yanma the heroes were after and deliver it to the boss, convinced he will be overjoyed by what his top men delivered him. Cut to his lair, when his assistants notify him about the gift, he tries to remember who the three are before he goes back to petting Persian.
* After the three are handed back the Yanma (since the organisation already had plentiful supplies) they convince themselves that the boss put them in charge of it as a token of gratitude and decide to go on a spree collecting more. The rest of the episode has them in a manic high from their "reward". Doubles as Awesome moment since they also berserk attack the heroes in the process, leaving them all rather dazed and creeped out.
-->'''Meowth:''' ''*eyes bulging*'' WHAT DO YOU TWERPS THINK YOU'RE DOING FLAMING OUR GORGEOUSLY GIFTED YANMA STRAIGHT FROM THE BOOOSSSSS?!?

* Team Rocket goes back to the basics after discovering they've gone soft. Towards the end of the episode, they've basically won, having successfully obtained all the Pokéballs from a Pokemon Center and about to stomp off in their HumongousMecha. Then Pikachu zaps them, and the mecha explodes. Why? Because Meowth thought they were getting back to basics, and so made the mecha non-resistant to electric attacks.

[[AC:[=DP093=]]]

[[AC:[=DP094=]]]
* Gliscor's antics; from volunteering to be the one to fetch Brock (Staravia got selected instead), and Brock attempting to carry it on the back (too heavy, so Brock had to leave it behind, promising to go back to Gliscor later). But then, the gang forgot all about Gliscor until the ''[[BrickJoke very end of the episode!]]''
** It's even funnier when Ash [[BreakingTheFourthWall interrupts the narrator's closing monologue]] to remind the audience that "we forgot Gliscor!"

[[AC:[=DP095=]]]
* Ash and his Pokémon trying to think of a way to counter Fantina's Hypnosis, only for themselves to fall asleep as they do. Ash's reaction after he realizes his Pokémon are snoozing is what sells the scene.

* A large chunk of the episode is taken up by the father-son feud (or, as Pokémopolis put it, "dick-waving contest") between Roark and Byron, which consists mainly of screaming about how they love fossils more than the other does
** Bonus points for his opinion of Team Rocket, which emphasizes their talent at digging exquisite holes and ignores their attempt to run off with his fossils.
---> '''Byron''': Listen up! I got something I want to say to you three! ''[Team Rocket stares at him]'' Clearly, you're all skilled diggers, but why not lose the machines and dig your happy holes by hand?\\
''[Team Rocket facefaults]''\\
'''Jessie''': [[LampshadeHanging What's up with him and holes?]]\\
'''Meowth''': Weird.
* After going to investigate a noise in the room where Byron keeps his fossils:
---> '''Byron:''' Look.
---> '''Roark:''' Somebody dug this hole!
---> '''Byron:''' I don't believe it! *long pause* and still, I love this hole! *everyone else facefaults*
---> '''Ash:''' You do? What do you mean?
---> '''Byron:''' Give it a good look! Look how perfectly shaped it is! How it slopes gently downwards! Whoever dug this hole has the skill and craftsmanship of a fearsome hole-digger! *everyone else facefaults* I just got to track down the artisan who did this! Imagine what this cand do for excavations!
---> '''Roark:''' Hey, Dad! you better have a look over there!
---> '''Byron:''' It can't be! *points to another hole* Closer examination reveals this hole was [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything dug by]] [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann a machine]]. *everyone else facefaults*
---> '''Brock:''' Not that!
---> '''Roark:''' Can't you see that all of your fossils have been ''STOLEN''?!
---> '''Byron:''' Stolen? Nooo! My precious fossil collection is gone!
** Even funnier? In the Japanese version of that scene, Byron's deep, gruff voice becomes hilariously high pitched for one sentence when he talks about how well they dug the hole.
** There's a reason he's an EnsembleDarkhorse among the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, despite having (alongside Crasher Wake) the smallest episode count of all eight of them.

[[AC:[=DP108=]]]

* The main villain is a female Togepi that's causing trouble. She's used Attract to take over Pikachu, Piplup, Croagunk, and Meowth. Brock's solution? Call out Happiny to smack all four of them back to normal.
** It's also hilarious because when they're all on the Rocket (just after Happiny has restored the guys to their senses), Happiny and Togepi have the baby Pokémon equivalent to a ''cat-fight'' (while everyone else is trying to get control of the rocket).
** When Togepi uses Attract, it also hits Jessie's Yanmega. The attack doesn't work, and once Brock explains that Attract only works on targets of the opposite gender, Jessie freaks out about the fact that her Pokémon is a female. Yanmega ''blushes in confirmation''.

When Gible then decides to try to nom on Piplup's head...well, let's just say that the penguin Pokémon [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPaWZVCC6Eo finally snaps]]. This is followed up by Piplup envisioning Ash and Dawn scolding Gible, and how Piplup sees Dawn.
** Not to mention that, when Piplup snaps out of its delusion, we see that it's actually been nuzzling up against ''[[HoYay Pikachu]]'', who is just sitting there with a -_- look on its face. It then pats Piplup on the head in a "there, there" sort of way, then runs off to be with Ash, Dawn, and Brock.

* The group get separated from Piplup and Buck after getting attacked by Graveler. After fighting off a Golem with Gible, the group say they have to find Piplup. The method they use? Gible using Draco Meteor, to Dawn's dismay. It works of course, with Piplup taking a hit for its troubles. And to top it all off, Piplup rather begrudgingly ''thanks'' Gible for its help.
** Even funnier when it was the fact that: 1) Dawn could tell what Gible was about to do a mile away and 2) the meteor defies physics by traversing a cave system to find the penguin.

[[AC:[=DP182=]]]
* Faced with Team Rocket's HumongousMecha, Ash decided to call on his Snorlax to literally take it down (since Ash used a similar tactic a hundred episodes back, during the beginning of the Battle Frontier saga). Then they found out that Snorlax had ''gone to sleep''. That's not the hilarious part; what's really hilarious was that Snorlax really did take the mecha down (albeit temporarily), by ''rolling over it''.
* Once Team Rocket's been taken care of, Ash asks for the rest of his Pokémon, cue Glalie freezing him and Torkoal thawing him out, with a Flamethrower [[RumpRoast in a questionable spot]].
* Poor Bulbasaur. The only one of the originals to appear, made worse since it involves him getting assaulted by Heracross, ''again''.
** Credit to him, he ''does'' get revenge by whipping Heracross away. Heracross then ''moves onto Oak's head'' and tries to suck nectar out of ''his'' head.
* Snorlax's return has him picking up Pikachu and ''licking him affectionately'' in greeting. Pikachu, for his part, doesn't seem to mind. Ash returns Snorlax to his Pokeball and Pikachu ''gently floats to the ground.''
* Some of the weapons on Team Rocket's giant Mecha... are a fly swatter, a plunger, a giant pair of cooking tongs, a net, a large paper fan, one of those things you use in Mathematics to draw triangles, a ''giant pink hammer'' and '''an enormous pair of scissors'''. Just ''where'' did they manage to obtain a pair of scissors so large?

* Paul manages to demonstrate that being the resident jerkass doesn't render one immune to being caught up in the occasional slapstick. An attempt to catch Gliscor goes awry when an attack from Gliscor knocks Electabuzz into Weavile. And then both of them going crashing into Paul. He probably felt that one the next morning.
** For that matter Paul [[ElementalRockPaperScissors using an Electric-type to catch the part Ground-type Gliscor]]. If not for the writers forgetting that detail, he probably would've made himself look really stupid.

* Team Rocket bothers the twerps multiple times in this episode, to the point where their last interruption causes Dawn, Pikachu, and Brock to riff on the old motto (though it’s unclear how Dawn knows said motto). This irritates James, and he calls out Cacnea, who is its usual clingy self:
-->'''James:''' No hugs until you teach them not to steal our old lines!
