* Most of what Schemer says and does in general could qualify. Schemer's pratfalls and one-liners were a big reason why the show stayed popular as long as it did.

* From "Mr. Conductor Gets Left Out", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH15coK1Mrs the commercial for the Missy Fussy doll]], could easily be passed off as a G-rated Saturday Night Live commercial. Initially the doll is portrayed as sweet and sassy and fun to play with, but it becomes apparent that the doll is actually [[BrattyHalfPint extremely demanding and manipulative]], and is more of a chore than a plaything, as its owner quickly becomes fed up with it. The whole time, the announcer is putting a positive spin on it all, describing how she's full of surprises, and never runs out of things to say, and you never run out of things to do.(And the actual Missy Fussy doll turns out to be a lot smaller than advertised, and requires special batteries to operate. But maybe that's actually a good thing)

* In "Achoo", Mr. Conductor catches a cold, and when he sneezes, some of his magic dust gets into the water of some glasses the kids use as a xylophone. When Stacy and Billy drink water from one of the glasses, Mr. Conductor's magic switches their voices. When they drink water from other glasses, Mr. Conductor's magic makes Billy meow like a cat and Stacy bark like a dog. JB King drinks water from another glass, which gives him the voice of a little girl, causing Schemer to tease him.

* The show's VHS releases had an ''additional'' FramingDevice- the episodes were being played at the Shining Time Drive-In, and before the main feature began, we'd see, amongst other things, a KitschyLocalCommercial for Schemer's Arcade. But the best part are the shorts after the show, made and presented by Schemer- as the voiceover notes, "We had ''nothing'' to do with this." You can just see the VO person's exasperation with Schemer forcing his stuff after the show.

* The [[MatryoshkaObject Lollapalooza Pop]] scene in "Stacy Cleans Up", in particular Schemer's reactions. He starts off making lame explanations for each layer, and by the end he can barely contain his disbelief at how ridiculous the whole situation is. You can practically hear him thinking "Whoever came up with these stupid things is a better Schemer than I am!"
