''Literature/{{Ratburger}}'', when it's not being [[{{Squick}} gross]] or [[TearJerker emotional]], is basically one big funny moment.
-----

* From the character list, Gingernut and Armitage are described as "a dead hamster" and "a live rat". Also, [[UnnamedParent Dad]] is listed as "A dad".
* Dad's biggest fail for ice cream flavours is Snail & Broccoli.
* Zoe eavesdropping on Dad and Sheila arguing, ending with Sheila saying something that made Zoe wish she hadn't been eavesdropping.
-->'''Sheila''': "And while I am on the subject, your aim in de bog could be better! Wot do ya do? Put a sprinkler on the end of it?"
* When Zoe tells Raj that Gingernut died, he replies that he can sympathise as he owned a tadpole named Poppadom, who was "eaten" by a frog. When Zoe tries to explain that tadpoles turn into frogs, Raj [[CassandraTruth assumes she's lying to make him happy]].
* The list of words commonly associated with "rat": "vermin", "sewer", "disease", "bite", "plague", "catcher", and "--a-tat-tat".
* The narrator says that it must have been Armitage who pooped in Zoe's room, then notes that it certainly wasn't ''him''.
* The whole section about smuggling animals into school. It says that:
** Blue whales are the hardest due to their size and wetness.
** Hippos and giraffes are too fat and tall respectively.
** Lions, seals, and walruses are too loud, while skunks [[SmellySkunk smell "even worse than sweaty teachers"]].
** Boobies [[HehHehYouSaidX sound too rude]] (He then adds a footnote saying that [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer he didn't just make them up for a "cheap laugh. As if I would do that!]]".)
** Ostriches can take you to school quickly but are too big to hide in your school bag.
** Polar bears blend into the arctic wastes well but can be spotted instantly in a school dinner queue.
** Smuggling a shark into a school pool will lead to expulsion, especially if they [[ThreateningShark ate the kids]].
** Orangutans and gorillas are too disruptive, the latter in mathematics especially, but they apparently can speak French.
** Nits, however, are notoriously easy to smuggle into school.
* Zoe complains about being left out "even when being told off".
* From the scene of Zoe and Armitage in the toilet:
** Zoe feeding Armitage a "bread sandwich", which is just what it sounds like but comes with a recipe.
** Zoe finds out Armitage's sex because [[UrineTrouble he pees on the wall]], which is described as "[[UnusualEuphemism decorating]]" it.
** One girl wrote, "Destiny is a complete *SymbolSwearing*", which the narrator describes as "very rude, even if she is." Zoe rejects 'Destiny' as a name, because it would be a "stupid name for a rat, [[GenderBlenderName especially a boy rat]]."
** Armitage gets his name from writing on the toilet bowl... unfortunately, everyone wants to know why he's named that.
** Zoe tries to convince a suspicious Tina that she is only urinating, and makes a sound that ends up sounding "more like a snake hissing".
* Tina trying to sell a single trainer.
* Once, a boy [[{{Mooning}} mooned]] out of the school bus and then gotten the nickname "Hairy Bum", which even the teachers called him.
* Tina's lackeys, being [[TheDitz stupid]], don't know how to respond to her having a rat on her finger, so they just stand still.
* Miss Midge on a height chart with a leprechaun, elf, fairy, sprite, and pixie. The leprechaun comes up to her shoulder.
* When Armitage is found out because he left a dropping in the toilet floor, the class starts to snicker, and then...
-->'''Random Boy''': "Someone did a poo on the toilet floor, sir?!"
-->'''Headmaster''': "Not a human dropping! An animal one!"
* The list of bad things to happen at school, which includes [[NakedPeopleAreFunny forgetting to put on anything except your tie]], getting such a bad case of butterflies [[PainToTheAss your bottom explodes]], kissing your teammates without realising you've scored an own goal, [[NoseNuggets sneezing on your principal]] and [[CoveredInGunge covering them head to toe in snot]], [[CelebrationMiscalculation mistakenly thinking it's Fancy Dress Day]] and spending the day dressed as Music/LadyGaga, having your aunt wipe your face with her saliva while you're playing Theatre/{{Hamlet}}, having such bad foot odour your school needs to be de-fumigated for a week, and farting all afternoon.
* Burt's menu is "Burger in a bap", "Burger only", and "Bap only".
* Zoe's options once suspended are live a lifestyle like Bonnie and Clyde, have plastic surgery and move to South America, tell Dad and Sheila that it's "Adopt-a-Rodent Week", claim that Armitage is an animatronic, claim he's for spy work, disguise him as a toy [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs Smurf]], fly off in a hot air balloon made from Sheila's bra, hijack a mobility scooter, build a dematerialisation machine (which she admits might be a bit too complicated), or [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers just go to Raj's shop for a snack.]]
* Raj screaming because he's afraid of rats, then he pretends that it's because some candy exploded and eats some snot off the ceiling.
* Burt has a drawn-on moustache, and he claims he is not Burt, but rather Burt's twin brother, but then he says that his name ''is'' indeed Burt because his parents were poor and "couldn't afford a name each".
* Sheila thinks "Armitage" is a stupid name for a rat, so when Zoe asks her what ''she'' would name one...
-->'''Sheila''': ''(after a long period of thought)'' "Ratty!"
-->'''Zoe''': "A bit unoriginal."
* Sheila's [[MisspellingOutLoud failed attempt]] at SpellingForEmphasis.
-->'''Sheila''': "Yer grounded. Ya here me? G-R-O-N-D-E-D! Grounded!"
-->'''Zoe''': "There's a 'U' in 'grounded'."
* Zoe considers making a glider out of coat-hangers and knickers, but rejects the idea because there's a high chance of death and "more importantly" she doesn't have enough clean knickers.
* Tina is described as "snoring like a camel", then later as being "angrier than a great white shark that had been called a rude name".
* Zoe being pulled one way by Sheila and the other way by Tina and repeating, "Oooh! Aaah!", which the narrator says sounds like a pop song.
* Zoe covered in dust from her bedroom wall breaking claims to Raj that she is in fancy dress, as a superhero named Dustgirl, whose superpower is [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway doing the dusting]]. He then gives her a drink and puts it back in the fridge, noting there is "free spit" in there.
* Zoe and Burt do the whole DuckSeasonRabbitSeason routine:
-->'''Zoe''': "Or I will tell everyone about what you are doing here. Turning rats into burgers!"
-->'''Burt''': "No, you won't."
-->'''Zoe''': "Yes, I will."
-->'''Burt''': "No, you won't."
-->'''Zoe''': "Yes, I will."
-->'''Burt''': "Yes, you will."
-->'''Zoe''': "No, I won't!"
* The barkeep has a tattoo that says, "MAH TSEW". It was meant to say, "WEST HAM", but he done it himself in front of a mirror.
* Dad getting mixed up and thinking Burt [[CreatingLife makes]] ''[[CreatingLife rats]]'' from ''burgers'' instead of the other way round.
* One of Dad's ice cream flavours at the end is "Fudge, Fudge, Fudge, Fudge, Fudge, Fudge, Fudge, actually now too much Fudge".
