[[AC:"The Kindergarten Kid"]]
* Despite usually being in control of the situation, Garnet gets bulldozed by the gem monster. This was apparently embarrassing enough that Garnet didn't want Pearl to give a play-by-play while explaining why it's not suppose to be funny.
* Peridot's attempts to catch the MonsterOfTheWeek. ''All of them.'' It's basically a love letter to the Road Runner cartoons, with Peridot playing the part of Wile. E. Coyote.
** First she gets crushed by a bunch of large rocks which she crawls out from under only to then get crushed by the gem drill she attempted to drop on the Gem monster, then she's sent flying into a wall by a homemade cannon and gets hit by an avalanche (which ended up flattening her '''hair!'''), THEN she falls of a cliff and gets crushed by the boulder she set up as a trap, '''TWICE!'''
* Steven pelting Peridot with marshmallows until she flips out to show her what it's like to be a monster.
* We see Peridot [[ToKnowHimIMustBecomeHim trying to get in the thought processes of the Gem Monster]]. How? By lightly bouncing up and down, sticking her tongue out immediately after the Gem Monster. This works, allowing her to get close enough to kick it. The monster doesn't take this at all well and attacks her again.
* Peridot's ImpactSilhouette including her ''hair''.
* The other Gems never left, and stayed hidden, watching, for the entire time Peridot tried to catch the monster, not because they were concerned but because Garnet told them it would be funny via future vision.
* Lapis barely reacting to the bubble Peridot made with the corrupted Gem popping into existence near the roof of the barn.
[[AC:"Know Your Fusion"]]
* As Steven and Amethyst are trying to set up the reveal of their new fusion, they ask Garnet and Pearl if they know who beat Jasper.
--> '''Garnet''': [[AccidentallyAccurate Peridot]].
* When Garnet and Pearl meet Smoky Quartz their reactions are priceless, with Pearl stunned beyond belief and Garnet going full on {{squee}}.
** "''Explain '''everything!'''''"
** Pearl screeches the above line while being shaken excitedly by a [[NotSoStoic loudly yelling Garnet]]. Her expression of pure bewilderment at the situation [[NeatFreak (and her harried attempt to prevent a nearby lamp from falling over)]] make the scene perfect.
** Garnet's reaction is less "{{Squee}}!" and more "[[FreakOut AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]] [[NotSoStoic AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]][[OverlyLongGag AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!]]" while shaking Pearl. Garnet's scream lasts for [[OverlyLongScream 16 seconds]] while Smoky Quartz wrecks the house showing off their moves.
** Smoky Quartz makes a "knock your socks off" joke, and Pearl is shown literally pulling her sock back up afterward.
** [[CueTheFlyingPigs Pearl is the (comparatively) level-headed one while Garnet goes out of her mind]]. Now look at the image at the top of this page.
** Pearl's excitement becomes progressively more horrified when she realizes that Smoky is destroying the house. The fact that this happens as Garnet is tightly hugging her and screaming makes her rare moment of OnlySaneMan of the whole group even better.
* Sardonyx and Smoky Quartz [[HurricaneOfPuns trading awful puns]].
-->'''Sardonyx:''' You've made quite the impression already! In fact, one in the wall over there, and there...\\
'''Smoky Quartz:''' Aheh... sorry. Looks like I got a bit carried away, I can, uh... reel it in?
* Sardonyx briefly going GrammarNazi on Smoky.
-->'''Smoky Quartz:''' I can't see nothin' in here.\\
'''Sardonyx:''' You ''cannot'' see ''anything'', my darling. Because the show hasn't started yet!
* [[MediumAware Sardonyx's]] ShowWithinAShow, especially since it has no fourth wall. A highlight of this would be when clips from "Giant Woman" and "Super Watermelon Island" are shown on a monitor, with "Footage courtesy of Cartoon Network" appearing at the bottom!
--> '''Sardonyx''': ''Don't those cartoon characters make you wanna [[MerchandiseDriven buy those products]]? I sure hope so, or else [[BitingTheHandHumor I'll be off air.]]''
** Special mention goes to Sugilite's "segment" using voice clips from "Coach Steven" in the form of a strength testing game and Sardonyx's off-hand mention about having to pay [[Music/NickiMinaj her voice actor]] despite not actually appearing in the episode.
** Sardonyx hurls her mic offstage, and apparently hits a cat...''[[ThatPoorCat somehow]]''.
** ''Everything'' she hurls offstage hits something. Including [[WilhelmScream four pencils that somehow all hit the same guy at once]].
** This extends to everything Smoky Quartz throws off screen as well.
** "Easy crowd, huh? Where'd you get 'em?" "I made them myself!" ''(Smoky Quartz stares ahead with a mildly terrified expression)''
** [[ButtMonkey Pearl]] representing rock bottom on the strength tester, the only single gem on it.
* What's the rule about weapons in the house?

[[AC:"Buddy's Book"]]
* Steven "parking" Lion and [[TemptingFate saying he won't go anywhere]]... so of course Lion immediately wanders off as soon as they leave. The way Lion holds his nose in the air suggests he's doing it on purpose. There's also his glare at Steven when Steven says he parked a little crooked.
* Steven being overly excited about the library.
-->'''Steven''': BOOOOOOOOOOOKS!\\
'''Librarian''': Shhhhhh!\\
'''Steven''': (''loudly whispering'') Booooooooks!
* Steven scooching around the aisles on a little wheelie stool.
* Connie gleefully knocking aside her study material when something more interesting comes up.
* Jamie is cast as Buddy in their minds, and he hams it up as usual.
* Steven amending his imagined story to put the Gems in more old-timey clothes.
** To that end, old timey!Pearl and Garnet getting on a two-seater [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny-farthing Penny-farthing]] and twiddling away over a hill for no ostensible reason.
** Serves as a BrickJoke, as Steven apparently remembered the old picture of the Gems from way back in "So Many Birthdays" and so imagined them in the outfits he saw in the picture.
* Pearl marks all the locations of dangerous Gem stuff that Buddy should avoid on the map. Garnet then ends up "subtly" encouraging him to go to all those places anyway.
* When Amethyst discovers Buddy inspecting her hole in the Kindergarten.
-->'''Amethyst:''' Hey, ''buddy!''\\
'''[[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep Buddy]]:''' ''(nervous)'' Yes, this is Buddy speaking.\\
'''Amethyst:''' Get outta mah hole.
** Amethyst using the word "fam"... centuries ''before'' the word becomes contemporary.
** When Amethyst makes him realize he's not really an explorer if he hasn't discovered anything for himself, Buddy gets so upset that he bursts out crying, flailing his limbs like a child having a temper tantrum.
** "Come back anytime! But not too much!"
* Rose breaks the fourth wall, and Buddy follows her AsideGlance as if wondering what she's looking at.
* Steven somberly notes that the diary ends with Buddy dying in the desert... [[AvertedTrope then realizes there's actually a lot more.]]
* Connie learned the hard way not to blindly trust the Internet as a resource, after buying a claim that raccoons have EyeBeams. And even Steven is promptly taken in by it.
[[AC:"Mindful Education"]]
* Steven's comments about his bald head. Especially his jab about how his father warned him it would happen eventually.
* Connie [[FailedASpotCheck failing to notice Steven's bald cap]].
* Garnet producing her Fusion Sign while going "vvvvvwoop!". Her enthusiasm in general.
* Holo-Pearls robotic Fusion Dance, complete with weird music.
* Fusion Holo Pearl's "Come at me, children!"
* Holo-Pearl's facial expression as Stevonnie jumps over her and floats up to a pillar during their first fight.
* The return of "Hold the phone. Now give the phone to me."
* While what they stand for isn't funny, it is kind of amusing to see Ruby completely rage out at a butterfly.
* Despite the emotional roller coaster that came just before it, the sight of Stevonnie flapping their legs before landing like they were swimming in water is weirdly comical.
** Stevonnie kind of floated like a Yoshi in that moment.
[[AC:"Future Boy Zoltron"]]
* Steven tries to [[ScareEmStraight warn Onion off stealing tickets from the machines]] by telling him "If you're not careful, Zoltron sees prison bars in your future!" Onion looks thoughtful... and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint tries disguising his identity with a ski mask]].
** Made even funnier by the fact that Steven clearly meant "Breaking into ticket machines is against the law", whereas Onion apparently interpreted it to mean [[ExactWords "Be more careful so you don't get caught."]]
* Mr. Frowney's [[TheEeyore perpetual moping]] is so over-the-top it's sometimes hilarious.
* Steven answering one questioner with [[OrphanedPunchline "That-sounds-like-a-question-for-your-doctor."]]
* When Steven asks if he's paid off his debt by [[spoiler:helping Mr. Smiley patch things up with his old partner]], Mr. Smiley points out that the antique Zoltron machine was worth thousands, so he's still got a ways to go.
-->'''Steven:''' Zoltron sees cramped legs in his future...
* When Mr. Frowney sees Steven, out of the machine but still in his Zoltron costume, he immediately panics.
-->'''Frowney:''' HE CAME TO LIFE!
* Garnet agrees that helping some random stranger "seems like an appropriate use of my powers."
[[AC:"Last One Out of Beach City"]]
* Pearl and Steven's [[IncrediblyLameFun original plans for the evening]] involved doing a jigsaw puzzle with a zebra-stripe pattern, which Pearl boasts has a whopping ''six-hundred and twelve'' pieces and no edges. Then Steven finds an edge piece.
--->'''Pearl:''' Oh. ''Oh...''
* Pearl trying to act cool is an absolute goldmine:
** Pearl popping the collar of her jacket to look cooler.
--->'''Pearl:''' It's cool because the collar isn't supposed to go that way.
** Pearl coolly declaring she'll try drinking apple juice tonight. The way she delivers it (and the others' reactions) almost make it seem like she announced her intent to empty a big bottle of vodka.
** And then she fails to open the can for 10 seconds ([[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining she tries tapping the tab and pulling on the lid at one point]]).
** "Nostalgic for the suburbs? They've only existed for what, seventy years?"
** And then she drinks the juice, only to be reminded that she really doesn't like this whole 'eating/drinking' thing. Better yet, she doesn't ''say'' it, she just gives a victorious smile when she finally opens the can, only to cringe in disgust the second the juice touches her mouth.
** After evading the police, Steven tells Pearl she's a criminal now.
--->'''Pearl:''' "Now"? I've been a criminal for 6000 years.
* The fact that Pearl spends the entire episode instantly and completely smitten by a human she barely knows, especially when you consider her disdain for humans, her obsession with Rose, and the fact that it's ''Pearl'', SuperOCD, BadassTeacher, sitting-at-home-doing-jigsaws-is-fun Pearl!
* Amethyst asks Steven for the "Sugar Shock Shut-Down" beverage can, opens it... and proceeds to ''eat the can''.
* Steven brings up the ElephantInTheRoom.
--> '''Steven:''' Okay, nobody's gonna say it? She kinda looked like mom! [[HasAType You]] noticed, ''I'' noticed, we ''all'' noticed.
* Amethyst's enthusiasm from watching Pearl act so different.
--> '''Amethyst:''' ([[spoiler:in the middle of trying to evade police]]) Pearl, you're a [[CurseCutShort total bad-!]]
* Pearl on her lack of a driver's license.
--> '''Pearl''': What was I supposed to tell the DMV? That I'm from another planet?! I'm not exactly a citizen, Steven!
** Even better, it's set up so that we think that the DMV wouldn't believe her if she says she's an extraterrestrial entity...[[BaitAndSwitch instead]], she implies that they ''[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight would]]'' believe her, [[SkewedPriorities but they'd still refuse her because she's technically not an American citizen]].
** Doesn't that make her an [[StealthPun illegal alien?]]
* The sign that they hide behind reads: "OCEAN TOWN: [[CallBack No longer on]] [[NoodleIncident FIRE"]]
* Pearl's rant as she starts angrily stripping off her rock show outfit: "I was going to drink a juice and wear these... ''pants!''"
** And Pearl is really ''wearing'' those pants, and not, y'know, materializing them ''like she has done before''.
** Also just the amount of time she struggles to get out of them, including every possible ridiculous pose you could strike while trying to take them off.
* Early on, Amethyst say they gonna see "Mike" Krol. Later, when Pearl is complaining about trying to be a rebel, she says "I really wanted to see your Krol."
* "I was going to hit humans gently enough to not hurt them and you were all going to think, 'Pearl, she's so cool!'"
* [[BlackHumor "I haven't been that scared since you almost let me die!"]]
** And we're not sure ''which'' incident Steven is referring to.
* We see the crowd listening intently...except for one guy who is passionately singing along.
* "Wait, no! You can start smaller! ''Talk to a nerd!!''"
* And Steven's reaction, "Amethyst!" The way Zach Callison says it.
* [[FreezeFrameBonus Look closely]] when Pearl goes up to talk to the Mystery Girl; her eyes are clearly animated going top to bottom checking Pearl out [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar and liking what she sees]].
* Pearl's idea of [[NoSocialSkills socializing with humans]] is explaining that her appearance is just a conscious manipulation of light, and then informing them that she saved their planet and their species and they should thank her. Funnily enough, it works.
* The 'ending credits'
--> Starring PEARL as [[{{Adorkable}} REPRESSED NERD]]\\
AMETHYST as [[RomanticWingman ULTIMATE WINGMAN]]\\
STEVEN as [[OnlySaneMan VOICE OF REASON]]\\
and introducing [[CharacterAsHimself MYSTERY GIRL as HERSELF]]
** The entire episode is presented like a typical 90s Gen-X teenage, going-to-the-big-rock-show, coming-of-age movie.
[[AC:"Onion Gang"]]
* The episode opens with Steven and Onion jumping on the couch in Steven's house. Which they've apparently been doing for ''two hours''.
* All the times Steven acts as Onion's narrator (with the last one being {{Heartwarming}}).
* As Onion drags Steven off into the woods, they pass by Onion's house, where Yellowtail is posing for a painting for his wife... while lounging in a deck chair wearing nothing but underpants.
* Soup looking like [[{{Undertale}} Frisk]] is funny enough on it's own, but it gets funnier when you realize that "Onion Gang" aired on ''Undertale'''s anniversary.
* Steven overreacting to Garbanzo "dying" after they crash their go-kart, complete with ketchup-as-fake-blood and Squash [[DiesWideOpen closing Garbanzo's eyes]].
* The gang has a lot of pictures of people they scared with their [[TotemPoleTrench trench coat joke]] pinned to a tree. Everyone on the photos looks either scared or annoyed. Well, with the exception of [[TheStoic Garnet]], who stares at the camera with her [[TheComicallySerious typical deadpan]] and gives a [[BrickJoke thumbs-up]]. Which makes sense, since she probably knew what was going on.
** She may even have been endorsing what she saw as a human attempt at fusion, which is an even funnier possibility.
* Steven texts [[TheWorkaholic Peedee]] to ask if he wants to hang out, who declines due to the end of summer creating an upsurge in business for Beach Citywalk Fries. He promptly follows this up with a bunch of happy emojis.
* When Squash is packing up his suitcase, the entire thing is filled with squashes.
[[AC:"Gem Harvest"]]
* This:
-->'''Peridot''': (Comes onscreen on a tractor) Steven! (Tractor goes off-screen)\\
'''Peridot''': (Tractor comes back) [[CaptainObvious I'm on a tractor!]]
* Lapis and Peridot assuming that growing vegetables was like growing Gems.
* Steven using his healing spit on a pumpkin seed to "help" Lapis and Peridot.
-->'''Steven''': Garnet says not to lick stuff I find on the ground, but this is for a good cause!
* Upon seeing Andy, Garnet comments about how she told Lapis and Peridot that it would have been a good idea to get a guard dog. Cue Veggie Head running up and barking at them, eliciting aghast and confused looks from Pearl and Amethyst. Garnet's only reaction?
-->'''Garnet:''' I guess that works.
* Andy assuming that Lapis and Peridot were hobos, then hippies.
* TheReveal that Greg Universe was born... Greg [=DeMayo=]. And Steven actually thinking it's a better last name than "boring old Universe".
** After we find out Greg legally changed it, we get this bit:
--->'''Andy:''' You didn't even keep the family name!? But you go around giving away family property like candy on...[[AlternateUniverse some candy-giving-out holiday!?]]
* [[FishOutOfWater The Gems]] try to liven up the family dinner by combining other human festivities, like getting married (with a wedding cake), being born (with a balloon reading "It's a BOY"), and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick dying (with a tombstone with Andy's name on it)]]. Andy looks annoyed... then [[ActuallyPrettyFunny bursts out laughing]].
-->'''Lapis:''' We're very sorry for your marriage.
** The fact that Pearl introduces the wedding cake by saying "We heard you like marriage, so we thought 'why don't we all marry each other'?"
* The Gems cracking in-jokes at the dinner table.
-->'''Peridot''': Now that I've been at this table, I see the value of ''corn''!
* Everyone's (save Peridot, who's laughing right alongside Lapis) awkward reactions when Lapis [[GallowsHumor cracks a joke about her imprisonment in the mirror]].
* A meta example; the fact that Andy is voiced by Dave Willis makes it hard not to imagine Andy as [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Carl Brutananadilewski]].
* Doubles as Heartwarming. While the Gems were waiting for Steven to return, Lapis and Peridot were ''apparently'' trying to teach Veggie Head how to speak. What was one of the words Peri tried to teach him?
-->'''Peridot''': Now, say "clod." Ca-lo-duh.
* As Andy is venting to Steven about the family leaving, you can just see a bored and blank expression on Lapis' face.
[[AC:"Three Gems And A Baby"]]
* Baby Steven popping out of the bag of groceries after Greg finds he's been carrying a loaf of bread swaddled in a blanket. Either poor, frazzled single dad Greg got a bit mixed-up, or Steven somehow swapped places with the loaf while Greg wasn't looking. It's funny either way.
* The wildly-inappropriate gifts the Gems gets for baby Steven: a safety razor from Garnet, a box of (adult) diapers from Amethyst, and a dictionary from Pearl.
* When Steven's gem glows, Pearl becomes convinced that Rose is inside it and tries to talk with her through the gem... and baby Steven grabs her nose.
--> '''Pearl:''' ''(deadpan)'' Baby, please. I'm trying to talk to Rose.
* The title for the book Vidalia had on babies is called "Babies, Huh?"
* Steven understandably freaks out when [[spoiler:he finds out the Gems abruptly kidnapped him as a baby.]]
-->'''Steven:''' You [[spoiler:kidnapped me?!]]
-->'''Amethyst:''' ''(Casually)'' A-Yup.
-->'''Garnet:''' Some of our actions were a bit... [[{{Understatement}} regrettable.]]
-->'''Pearl:''' At the time we thought it'd be better to handle things our way.
-->'''Amethyst:''' Nah, [[spoiler:we straight up 'napped you.]]
* When [[spoiler:the Gems kidnap baby Steven to both raise him themselves and get Rose back]], Greg tries to catch up by borrowing a sled and a dog. Poor Greg ends up being chased by said dog, who's carrying the sled.
** Amethyst's remark of "Good thing we left without any explanation."
** Greg's whole SesameStreet routine when coming up with the idea to put together a dogsled.
--> "Dog... sled... Dog. Sled. Dog! Sled!"
* Amethyst apparently shapeshifted into a ''toilet'' for a while. No explanation for why she did this is given.
** She also thinks that baby Steven is just Rose shapeshifted into a baby, and wonders if being a baby is fun. She then changes into a baby and tells Garnet to hold her, then after a few seconds, just says "Alright, I get it. This rules."
* Steven's BrutalHonesty about the Gem's actions in the story, even if it leads into a heartwarming speech:
-->'''Steven:''' Wow, you guys were wrong about everything.
* The Gems [[NoodleIncident once mistook Steven's babysitter taking him to the park for a kidnapping]], and one of them wound up throwing a ''jungle gym'' at her.
** Greg's phrasing implies that it was ''Pearl'' who threw it.
[[AC:"Steven's Dream"]]
* "Look at the time... and my fancy new watch!"
* Connie wipes all the papers off the table in her excitement.
-->'''Connie:''' ''(In an incredibly excited tone)'' Sorry, I'll clean that up later!
** The way Steven looks up in wonder to watch the papers flying away.
* Steven shows Amethyst a picture of the Palanquin from Buddy's journal.
-->'''Amethyst:''' Steven... you deserve to know the truth. And the truth is... [[BaitAndSwitchComment I have no idea what that is]], I've never seen it before in my life.
* Garnet tries to talk Steven out of going to the Palanquin, only to realize that everything she's saying [[ForbiddenFruit just makes it seem more enticing]].
* Steven insists that their mission to Korea to look for the Palanquin is serious work, and there'll be no time for fun. Greg insists there might be time for "a little fun". Cue GoodTimesMontage of Greg and Steven taking in the sights around Korea, including:
** Greg and Steven indulging in a CostumeTestMontage.
** Greg mistaking one of a group of MiniatureSeniorCitizens for Steven.
** Steven and Greg wandering through an animation studio... one that's working on [[RecursiveCanon an episode of the Steven Universe cartoon]], much to the bafflement and worry of Greg, who hastily shoos Steven out.
*** Even better, the animator’s actually drawing a later frame ''from the same episode''.
* When Steven and Greg get off and approach the area where Pink Diamond's Palanquin rests, there's a Korean sign that roughly states to stay away, as well as [[BrickJoke a piece of wood with the word "Please" written on it by Pearl.]]
* Greg awkwardly trying to talk his way out when he and Steven run into Blue Diamond and Blue Pearl. Complete with finger guns.
* A small, easily missed one - Blue Diamond’s comment to Greg about her secret trips to Earth is reminiscent of a teenager confiding to their friend about disobeying their forbidding parent.
-->'''Blue Diamond:''' ''(To Greg)'' You know, I really shouldn’t be here.
[[AC:"Adventures in Light Distortion"]]
* Pearl feels faint on learning Blue Diamond's been spotted on Earth.
-->'''Pearl:''' ''(Weakly)'' Amethyst, turn into a chair... I need to sit down...
* "They took Greg?!" "''Our'' Greg?!" "What other Greg is there?"
* The Homeworld Rubies make a cameo... still drifting helplessly through space after the events of "Back to the Moon" and "Bubbled". Three of them even [[CrossesTheLineTwice collide with the Roaming Eye's windshield before sliding off]]. Steven says they can pick them up on the way home, ''after'' they rescue Greg.
* Pearl estimating that at their current rate of speed, they’ll reach the human zoo in about 70 human years, just in time for Greg’s "110th anniversary of being alive". When Steven objects, saying that Greg isn’t healthy enough to live that long, she asks if he thinks Greg can make it to 109.
* Pearl casually discussing how the FTL "gravity engine" on their ship might reduce Steven to a pancake of squashed flesh and bones, leading to this HypocriticalHumor moment:
-->'''Amethyst:''' Euw, bones are gross!\\
'''Garnet:''' ''You'' have bones in your bedroom.\\
'''Amethyst:''' That's different. Those are ''my'' bones!
* Steven manages to survive the activation of the gravity engine... but finds the gravity warp has compressed Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst's bodies so they're thick-limbed and no taller than Steven, to Amethyst’s amusement.
-->'''Amethyst:''' ''(Giggling)'' Please tell me this lasts forever!
** When Amethyst tries to see if she can shapeshift out of it, she turns into her Purple Puma form, but with her size and proportions still short and squat.
--->'''Amethyst:''' Huh. Check it out, Puma Cub.
** It turns out the Crystal Gems' condition is because the ship is calibrated to Rubies, as Peridot was trying to explain before they left.
--->'''Pearl:''' Why doesn't she tell us anything? [[HypocriticalHumor This is why we never listen to her]]!
* The HardLight bodies of Gems don't take well to faster-than-light travel. The Roaming Eye has software to counter this... Except Steven can't find the right settings, deforming everyone's bodies in hilarious ways.
** First, they’re shrunk to Ruby-size. Then, they’re all tall and stretched out. Then, they’re shrunk to the size of bugs while their Gems appear oversized, and ''then'' they wind up taking up the whole screen because they’re Diamond-sized!
*** The mere fact that the ship has a Diamond setting at all when there’s not enough space for even one Diamond to so much as ''sit'' without banging her head on the ceiling.
*** The fact that the bug-sized forms are a preset means that there are actually Gems of that size.
** When Steven tries to manually adjust the settings, things get even weirder. Their limbs and necks stretch out, and what happens after that is the most absurd; Pearl swells up like a balloon, Garnet turns into a kiddie stool with arms and legs (and starts rolling the inflated Pearl around), and Amethyst turns into a sausage!
--->'''Amethyst:''' Uh, Steven? This is getting a little weird, even for me.
*** And he actually gets it right at one point, but keeps changing things too fast to notice.
* It happens after a very cathartic moment, but watching the Gems clip through the wall back into the ship is pretty funny. They all look mildly traumatized (although Amethyst turns out to have liked it).
-->'''Amethyst:''' I never knew I could stretch so far! ''(giggles)'' I think I sorta phased through a planet!
** Pearl’s slightly delirious explanation of what happened.
[[AC:"Gem Heist"]]
* Steven’s idea for a disguise is calling himself [[ThisIsMyNameOnForeign "Esteban Universidad"]]. And Sapphire actually calls him this.
* When Pearl asks if this will work, [[BrutalHonesty Sapphire replies with a no]]. She then tells the group to stick together, play it straight, and change the future with a crooked, forced grin.
* Steven calling the Gems rockheads.
* Ruby’s idea of a distraction apparently means screaming "EXPLOSION!", right in the middle of Holly Blue Agate’s explanation.
-->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' ''Pardon me?''
** [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption She interrupted Holly Blue's explanation]] in such a way that for a moment it sounds like the one time Gems needed to get into the zoo was because of a ''human explosion''.
* Once Sapphire and Holly Blue leave, Ruby throws a bit of a tantrum at the idea of Blue Diamond being "merciful".
* Ruby’s attempts to open the service door to the zoo. She first runs up against it, which leaves foot-shaped burn marks on the door. Then, she scratches at it while screaming at the top of her lungs, before letting her legs give out and lying face-down on the floor. This entire sequence barely takes five seconds.
* This exchange:
-->'''Sapphire:''' I am SO GLAD we're ''ALMOST BACK'', I was ''really'' enjoying the tour!
-->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' (cheerily) Yes, I can tell by the tone of your voice!
* Pretty much anything to do with [[SmugSnake Holly Blue Agate]], the insufferable boot-licking administrator at the Zoo.
** Holly Blue sees the burn marks Ruby left on the door to the Zoo... and assumes the damage was done by one of the Amethysts on board.
** Holly Blue tells off a few Amethysts for running and shouting in the Zoo like a very angry preschool teacher.
--->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' We do not RUN [[HypocriticalHumor OR SHOUT]] '''IN THESE HALLWAYS!'''
*** Said Amethyst begins to talk softer… only for Holly to chastise her for mumbling. While still shouting.
*** Also, she pretends she can't understand what Steven is saying... despite speaking the exact same language.
* Steven's angry and embarrassed reaction to being stripped of his clothes by the processing machine for the Zoo.
** When the machine’s "hand" tries to remove his pants, he pushes it away to get them and spare himself the humiliation, while the "hand" just waits for him to give it the pants.
-->'''Steven:''' ''(grumbles)'' I'll just find my Dad without pants.
* "Our" Amethyst’s shapeshifted attempt to look like a typical Amethyst guard gives her a bigger body, but the same round head and round eyes. The other Amethysts have smaller eyes and more squared features, and the contrast when she’s in the same shot as them is considerable.
* Sapphire "winking". Since she has only one eye, it's indistinguishable from a regular blink and it takes a moment for Steven and Pearl to catch on.
[[AC:"The Zoo"]]
* Greg and Steven have to introduce the "Zoomans" to the cannonball because of the ridiculously small splashes they make, even from tall heights.
-->'''Steven:''' Those are the teensiest splashes I've ever seen...
* The citizens of the Zoo are apparently paired off for mating through [[BuffySpeak "The Choosening"]]. Apparently, the Gems running the zoo couldn’t come up with a better term.
* Greg’s response when he finds out what the Choosening is is to wearily comment that Utopias always have a catch.
** While his reasons are both understandable and [[HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]], the fact that Greg considers being paired with a pretty blonde to be a ''bad'' thing is funny itself.
* When Greg tries to tell the Zoo humans about Earthly relationships and courtship, ''everyone'', [[EvenTheGuysWantHim male and female]], tries to "choosen" Greg.
** Earlier, Greg is worried over being “choosened”, so Steven decides to assure him that [[TemptingFate since he’s a newcomer, he won’t get picked]]. Guess what happens?
* When Steven is carrying Greg away from the zoo humans that want to "choosen" him, he accidentally gets hit by a branch.
-->'''Greg:''' [[ShoutOut Watch out for that--!]] ''(gets hit)''
* This bit:
-->'''Greg:''' I haven't broken this many hearts since I had all my hair!
* When Greg refuses to be "choosened" and makes all the other humans in the Zoo cry, a team of Amethysts burst into the room... and try to comfort the upset humans. Doubles as a heartwarming moment, too.
* Steven has to act a like a parent to Greg (who seems to enjoy living in the zoo) for the entire episode, wearing a deadpan expression and making snide comments the whole time.
[[AC:"That Will Be All"]]
* Amethyst trolling Steven and Greg about being captured and joking around with the other Gems from the Prime and Beta Kindergartens.
* One of the Gems from the Beta Kindergarten is Carnelian, a squat red Gem who is delighted she's "not the shortest anymore!", and celebrates by lifting Amethyst over her head and running around laughing like a little kid who just got the best birthday present ever. Doubles as Heartwarming.
* The Jasper called "Skinny" is at least a head taller than any of the other Quartzes on the station, near the dramatic height of the Jasper we know - but she’s built like ''Pearl''.
* Blink and you miss it, but when our Amethyst says the Zooman outfit is a good look for Greg, he looks flattered.
* Right when Steven is asking the Quartzes for help finding the other Crystal Gems, the door opens and they and Holly Blue are standing ''right there''.
** After Holly Blue chastises the Gems for lazing about and tells them to hurry up into their positions to show their gratitude towards Blue Diamond. When she opens the door Sapphire, Ruby and Pearl are seen leaning over where the door was with a hand cupped over their ear.
* Yellow Diamond’s VillainSong is awesome enough on its own, but it reveals one of the lesser-known benefits to owning your own Pearl; they serve as your own personal back-up singers.
* After hearing Sapphire's made-up explanation for her visit to Earth and subsequent visit to the Zoo, that she foresaw that Blue Diamond would want more samples from Earth preserved, Blue Diamond eventually concedes that it does sound exactly like her.
* When they’re interrupted by Holly Blue Agate and she starts off with a sycophantic spill of praise, Blue Diamond looks away and Yellow Diamond rolls her eyes. Apparently this Agate’s no more popular with her superiors than her inferiors. Even with the Diamonds demanding deference and respect from their subordinates, Holly Blue’s brownnosing is too much.
** Holly Blue finally opening her eyes and realizing there are two Diamonds there, and hastily adding "s" to "Diamond" and "radiance".
* Holly Blue failing to notice Steven and Greg escaping ''literally right under her nose''. When she finally looks and catches them at the last second, Pearl’s mouth is an x.
** Also, what she says right before catching the Crystal Gems.
--->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' Two Diamonds, in one day! What an honor! ''(Turns around)'' [[TemptingFate I don’t think ANYTHING can spoil this for me!]] ''[[InstantlyProvenWrong (Sees the Gems pushing Greg and Steven on board the Roaming Eye)]]''
* Holly Blue Agate [[HumiliationConga finally gets her comeuppance]]. First the Crystal Gems [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp her]], with Amethyst tying her up with her own whip and Garnet knocking her over with her bare hand after threatening her with her gauntlet. Then, when Holly threatens to report them, Pearl shuts her up by pointing out that if she reported a group of rebels breaking in and escaping with a captive under her watch, Holly Blue [[YouHaveFailedMe would be in deep trouble]]. And on the way out, Pearl tells Holly Blue "[[IronicEcho That will be all!]]"
** Steven claps when Pearl says that, mimicking Holly Blue’s and Yellow Diamond’s claps when ordering their subordinates around.
** All the while, the quartzes under her control laugh and cheer on the Crystal Gems instead of helping. Maybe if you weren’t such a BadBoss, Holly Blue.
** Easy to miss, but when Garnet hits Holly Blue, the latter ''squeaks''. Like a dog toy.
* The final shot we get from inside of the zoo is of all of the Earth-gems smiling and waving goodbye… With in the center of it all, Holly Blue, looking completely defeated. Carnelian is leaning on her in a very condescending manner. The fact that she’s the shortest of the bunch does ''not'' help.
* Greg remarks that being abducted by aliens is [[NoodleIncident "the third-craziest weekend I've had."]] You have to wonder what could have happened to Greg that was crazier than what he just went through.
[[AC:"The New Crystal Gems"]]
* Connie arrives at Steven's house and realizes she's not alone... turns out Peridot and Lapis are in the bathroom, with Peridot sitting in the toilet, apparently demonstrating her failed attempt to escape that way back in "Catch and Release".
-->'''Peridot:''' Don't you ''knock?''
-->'''Lapis:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Weirdo.]]
* Lapis doesn't recognize Connie, having not seen her since "Ocean Gem" way back in season one.
-->'''Connie:''' ''(miffed)'' You almost drowned me when you tried to steal all the world's water.\\
'''Lapis:''' [[ButForMeItWasTuesday I almost drowned a lot of people...]]
* Pumpkin surprises Connie by jumping out of the dirty clothes hamper.
* Peridot decides that if they want to help people like the Crystal Gems do, they need to emulate the Crystal Gems. Naturally, she claims the role of Garnet for herself, and spends much of the episode wearing a pair of CoolShades. Over her visor.
** After assigning the roles of Amethyst and Steven to Lapis and Connie respectively, they realize that they need someone to be Pearl. They flippantly decide to make Pumpkin Pearl, and get her "into character" by putting a cone party hat on her face.
* Before the "Crystal Gems" head to It's a Wash, Peridot cues Connie (playing as Steven) to get in character by making a pun. Connie obliges with, "Well, 'water' we waiting for?"
* When Peridot decides to take on Garnet's role, as she's the best one to be "the boss", Lapis snarks that she is pretty bossy, [[SarcasmBlind Peridot takes it as a compliment and thanks Lapis for it.]]
* Lapis pretending she doesn't remember who Amethyst is.
* "Good job, Pumpkin! Pearl ''does'' like soap!"
** Even funnier when you realize that [[ExtremeOmnivore eating soap]] is something ''Amethyst'' would do, not Pearl.
* The second time the Crystal Temps go to the car wash, Lapis briefly decides that ''she'' should "the Garnet." Jennifer Paz's [[BriefAccentImitation fake British accent]] is golden.
** Lapis gets into the role really quickly too; when Peridot reminds her that she's supposed to be Amethyst, this is her response:
-->'''Lapis:''' [[ThatWomanIsDead There is no Amethyst]]; [[ShoutOut only Garnet.]]
* Connie finally snaps and tells the Crystal Temps to quit pretending to be the Crystal Gems and protect Beach City as themselves. Lapis' response is gold.
-->'''Lapis:''' You ''do'' make a good Steven.
-->'''Connie:''' ''[[DeathGlare Watch it.]]''
* Making that sign seems to have taken a ''lot'' out of Peridot. It actually sounds like Shelby Rebara ran up and down the hall a few times before recording the lines.
[[AC:"Storm in the Room"]]
* Dr. Maheswaran must be getting used to Steven. She doesn't seem to notice Steven's "Zooman" outfit, except thinking he's back from a trip to the spa. And her reaction to Connie correcting her by saying Steven went to ''space'' is a nonplussed "Huh."
* The game Steven plays with the cloud-room version of Rose is ''Lonely Arms'', an arm-wrestling game based on the ''Lonely Blade'' movies. Just the sort of oddly-specific spin-off you'd expect from a big franchise.
* Cloud Rose pulling the famous ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} football gag on Steven, complete with Peanuts-like music in the background.
* Steven only having Greg's stories and the tape to go on for what Rose talked like leads to her waxing poetic about the beauty of ''sports''.
[[AC:"Rocknaldo"]]
* Even when Steven blatantly spells it out, it still takes a minute before Ronaldo realizes that the Crystal Gems and "rock people" are the same thing.
* After Steven corrects his wrong-headed ideas about the "rock people", Ronaldo makes a post on his blog saying that he has to leave and think things over, and he may never return to the Internet... and while Steven is in the middle of reading his post, Ronaldo posts a video.
* Ronaldo, AKA "Bloodstone", shows off his "Gem Weapon"... a cheap prop katana he bought at a convention that can't even cut through a juice box.
* "Bloodstone" growing increasingly erratic from sleep deprivation, like laughing at nothing in particular when Amethyst talks.
* When "Bloodstone" passes out after Steven calls him out for trying to make the Crystal Gems [[ItsAllAboutMe all about him]], Amethyst initially thinks that "you truthed him so hard he ''died''."
[[AC:"Tiger Philanthropist"]]
* Lars' [[SelectiveObliviousness stubborn insistence]] that Steven ''can't'' be Tiger Millionaire, because Tiger Millionaire is seven feet tall and "ripped". Sadie's incredulous reaction makes it even funnier.
[[AC:"Room For Ruby"]]
* Despite usually being in control of the situation, Garnet gets bulldozed by the gem monster. This was apparently embarrassing enough that Garnet didn't want Pearl to give a play-by-play while explaining why it's not suppose to be funny.
* Peridot's attempts to catch the MonsterOfTheWeek. ''All of them.'' It's basically a love letter to the Road Runner cartoons, with Peridot playing the part of Wile. E. Coyote.
** First she gets crushed by a bunch of large rocks which she crawls out from under only to then get crushed by the gem drill she attempted to drop on the Gem monster, then she's sent flying into a wall by a homemade cannon and gets hit by an avalanche (which ended up flattening her '''hair!'''), THEN she falls of a cliff and gets crushed by the boulder she set up as a trap, '''TWICE!'''
* Steven pelting Peridot with marshmallows until she flips out to show her what it's like to be a monster.
* We see Peridot [[ToKnowHimIMustBecomeHim trying to get in the thought processes of the Gem Monster]]. How? By lightly bouncing up and down, sticking her tongue out immediately after the Gem Monster. This works, allowing her to get close enough to kick it. The monster doesn't take this at all well and attacks her again.
* Peridot's ImpactSilhouette including her ''hair''.
* The other Gems never left, and stayed hidden, watching, for the entire time Peridot tried to catch the monster, not because they were concerned but because Garnet told them it would be funny via future vision.
* Lapis barely reacting to the bubble Peridot made with the corrupted Gem popping into existence near the roof of the barn.
[[AC:"Know Your Fusion"]]
* As Steven and Amethyst are trying to set up the reveal of their new fusion, they ask Garnet and Pearl if they know who beat Jasper.
--> '''Garnet''': [[AccidentallyAccurate Peridot]].
* When Garnet and Pearl meet Smoky Quartz their reactions are priceless, with Pearl stunned beyond belief and Garnet going full on {{squee}}.
** "''Explain '''everything!'''''"
** Pearl screeches the above line while being shaken excitedly by a [[NotSoStoic loudly yelling Garnet]]. Her expression of pure bewilderment at the situation [[NeatFreak (and her harried attempt to prevent a nearby lamp from falling over)]] make the scene perfect.
** Garnet's reaction is less "{{Squee}}!" and more "[[FreakOut AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]] [[NotSoStoic AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]][[OverlyLongGag AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!]]" while shaking Pearl. Garnet's scream lasts for [[OverlyLongScream 16 seconds]] while Smoky Quartz wrecks the house showing off their moves.
** Smoky Quartz makes a "knock your socks off" joke, and Pearl is shown literally pulling her sock back up afterward.
** [[CueTheFlyingPigs Pearl is the (comparatively) level-headed one while Garnet goes out of her mind]]. Now look at the image at the top of this page.
** Pearl's excitement becomes progressively more horrified when she realizes that Smoky is destroying the house. The fact that this happens as Garnet is tightly hugging her and screaming makes her rare moment of OnlySaneMan of the whole group even better.
* Sardonyx and Smoky Quartz [[HurricaneOfPuns trading awful puns]].
-->'''Sardonyx:''' You've made quite the impression already! In fact, one in the wall over there, and there...\\
'''Smoky Quartz:''' Aheh... sorry. Looks like I got a bit carried away, I can, uh... reel it in?
* Sardonyx briefly going GrammarNazi on Smoky.
-->'''Smoky Quartz:''' I can't see nothin' in here.\\
'''Sardonyx:''' You ''cannot'' see ''anything'', my darling. Because the show hasn't started yet!
* [[MediumAware Sardonyx's]] ShowWithinAShow, especially since it has no fourth wall. A highlight of this would be when clips from "Giant Woman" and "Super Watermelon Island" are shown on a monitor, with "Footage courtesy of Cartoon Network" appearing at the bottom!
--> '''Sardonyx''': ''Don't those cartoon characters make you wanna [[MerchandiseDriven buy those products]]? I sure hope so, or else [[BitingTheHandHumor I'll be off air.]]''
** Special mention goes to Sugilite's "segment" using voice clips from "Coach Steven" in the form of a strength testing game and Sardonyx's off-hand mention about having to pay [[Music/NickiMinaj her voice actor]] despite not actually appearing in the episode.
** Sardonyx hurls her mic offstage, and apparently hits a cat...''[[ThatPoorCat somehow]]''.
** ''Everything'' she hurls offstage hits something. Including [[WilhelmScream four pencils that somehow all hit the same guy at once]].
** This extends to everything Smoky Quartz throws off screen as well.
** "Easy crowd, huh? Where'd you get 'em?" "I made them myself!" ''(Smoky Quartz stares ahead with a mildly terrified expression)''
** [[ButtMonkey Pearl]] representing rock bottom on the strength tester, the only single gem on it.
* What's the rule about weapons in the house?
--> '''Sardonyx:''' Mostly allowed, really.
[[AC:"Buddy's Book"]]
* Steven "parking" Lion and [[TemptingFate saying he won't go anywhere]]... so of course Lion immediately wanders off as soon as they leave. The way Lion holds his nose in the air suggests he's doing it on purpose. There's also his glare at Steven when Steven says he parked a little crooked.
* Steven being overly excited about the library.
-->'''Steven''': BOOOOOOOOOOOKS!\\
'''Librarian''': Shhhhhh!\\
'''Steven''': (''loudly whispering'') Booooooooks!
* Steven scooching around the aisles on a little wheelie stool.
* Connie gleefully knocking aside her study material when something more interesting comes up.
* Jamie is cast as Buddy in their minds, and he hams it up as usual.
* Steven amending his imagined story to put the Gems in more old-timey clothes.
** To that end, old timey!Pearl and Garnet getting on a two-seater [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny-farthing Penny-farthing]] and twiddling away over a hill for no ostensible reason.
** Serves as a BrickJoke, as Steven apparently remembered the old picture of the Gems from way back in "So Many Birthdays" and so imagined them in the outfits he saw in the picture.
* Pearl marks all the locations of dangerous Gem stuff that Buddy should avoid on the map. Garnet then ends up "subtly" encouraging him to go to all those places anyway.
* When Amethyst discovers Buddy inspecting her hole in the Kindergarten.
-->'''Amethyst:''' Hey, ''buddy!''\\
'''[[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep Buddy]]:''' ''(nervous)'' Yes, this is Buddy speaking.\\
'''Amethyst:''' Get outta mah hole.
** Amethyst using the word "fam"... centuries ''before'' the word becomes contemporary.
** When Amethyst makes him realize he's not really an explorer if he hasn't discovered anything for himself, Buddy gets so upset that he bursts out crying, flailing his limbs like a child having a temper tantrum.
** "Come back anytime! But not too much!"
* Rose breaks the fourth wall, and Buddy follows her AsideGlance as if wondering what she's looking at.
* Steven somberly notes that the diary ends with Buddy dying in the desert... [[AvertedTrope then realizes there's actually a lot more.]]
* Connie learned the hard way not to blindly trust the Internet as a resource, after buying a claim that raccoons have EyeBeams. And even Steven is promptly taken in by it.
[[AC:"Mindful Education"]]
* Steven's comments about his bald head. Especially his jab about how his father warned him it would happen eventually.
* Connie [[FailedASpotCheck failing to notice Steven's bald cap]].
* Garnet producing her Fusion Sign while going "vvvvvwoop!". Her enthusiasm in general.
* Holo-Pearls robotic Fusion Dance, complete with weird music.
* Fusion Holo Pearl's "Come at me, children!"
* Holo-Pearl's facial expression as Stevonnie jumps over her and floats up to a pillar during their first fight.
* The return of "Hold the phone. Now give the phone to me."
* While what they stand for isn't funny, it is kind of amusing to see Ruby completely rage out at a butterfly.
* Despite the emotional roller coaster that came just before it, the sight of Stevonnie flapping their legs before landing like they were swimming in water is weirdly comical.
** Stevonnie kind of floated like a Yoshi in that moment.
[[AC:"Future Boy Zoltron"]]
* Steven tries to [[ScareEmStraight warn Onion off stealing tickets from the machines]] by telling him "If you're not careful, Zoltron sees prison bars in your future!" Onion looks thoughtful... and [[ComicallyMissingThePoint tries disguising his identity with a ski mask]].
** Made even funnier by the fact that Steven clearly meant "Breaking into ticket machines is against the law", whereas Onion apparently interpreted it to mean [[ExactWords "Be more careful so you don't get caught."]]
* Mr. Frowney's [[TheEeyore perpetual moping]] is so over-the-top it's sometimes hilarious.
* Steven answering one questioner with [[OrphanedPunchline "That-sounds-like-a-question-for-your-doctor."]]
* When Steven asks if he's paid off his debt by [[spoiler:helping Mr. Smiley patch things up with his old partner]], Mr. Smiley points out that the antique Zoltron machine was worth thousands, so he's still got a ways to go.
-->'''Steven:''' Zoltron sees cramped legs in his future...
* When Mr. Frowney sees Steven, out of the machine but still in his Zoltron costume, he immediately panics.
-->'''Frowney:''' HE CAME TO LIFE!
* Garnet agrees that helping some random stranger "seems like an appropriate use of my powers."
[[AC:"Last One Out of Beach City"]]
* Pearl and Steven's [[IncrediblyLameFun original plans for the evening]] involved doing a jigsaw puzzle with a zebra-stripe pattern, which Pearl boasts has a whopping ''six-hundred and twelve'' pieces and no edges. Then Steven finds an edge piece.
--->'''Pearl:''' Oh. ''Oh...''
* Pearl trying to act cool is an absolute goldmine:
** Pearl popping the collar of her jacket to look cooler.
--->'''Pearl:''' It's cool because the collar isn't supposed to go that way.
** Pearl coolly declaring she'll try drinking apple juice tonight. The way she delivers it (and the others' reactions) almost make it seem like she announced her intent to empty a big bottle of vodka.
** And then she fails to open the can for 10 seconds ([[SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining she tries tapping the tab and pulling on the lid at one point]]).
** "Nostalgic for the suburbs? They've only existed for what, seventy years?"
** And then she drinks the juice, only to be reminded that she really doesn't like this whole 'eating/drinking' thing. Better yet, she doesn't ''say'' it, she just gives a victorious smile when she finally opens the can, only to cringe in disgust the second the juice touches her mouth.
** After evading the police, Steven tells Pearl she's a criminal now.
--->'''Pearl:''' "Now"? I've been a criminal for 6000 years.
* The fact that Pearl spends the entire episode instantly and completely smitten by a human she barely knows, especially when you consider her disdain for humans, her obsession with Rose, and the fact that it's ''Pearl'', SuperOCD, BadassTeacher, sitting-at-home-doing-jigsaws-is-fun Pearl!
* Amethyst asks Steven for the "Sugar Shock Shut-Down" beverage can, opens it... and proceeds to ''eat the can''.
* Steven brings up the ElephantInTheRoom.
--> '''Steven:''' Okay, nobody's gonna say it? She kinda looked like mom! [[HasAType You]] noticed, ''I'' noticed, we ''all'' noticed.
* Amethyst's enthusiasm from watching Pearl act so different.
--> '''Amethyst:''' ([[spoiler:in the middle of trying to evade police]]) Pearl, you're a [[CurseCutShort total bad-!]]
* Pearl on her lack of a driver's license.
--> '''Pearl''': What was I supposed to tell the DMV? That I'm from another planet?! I'm not exactly a citizen, Steven!
** Even better, it's set up so that we think that the DMV wouldn't believe her if she says she's an extraterrestrial entity...[[BaitAndSwitch instead]], she implies that they ''[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight would]]'' believe her, [[SkewedPriorities but they'd still refuse her because she's technically not an American citizen]].
** Doesn't that make her an [[StealthPun illegal alien?]]
* The sign that they hide behind reads: "OCEAN TOWN: [[CallBack No longer on]] [[NoodleIncident FIRE"]]
* Pearl's rant as she starts angrily stripping off her rock show outfit: "I was going to drink a juice and wear these... ''pants!''"
** And Pearl is really ''wearing'' those pants, and not, y'know, materializing them ''like she has done before''.
** Also just the amount of time she struggles to get out of them, including every possible ridiculous pose you could strike while trying to take them off.
* Early on, Amethyst say they gonna see "Mike" Krol. Later, when Pearl is complaining about trying to be a rebel, she says "I really wanted to see your Krol."
* "I was going to hit humans gently enough to not hurt them and you were all going to think, 'Pearl, she's so cool!'"
* [[BlackHumor "I haven't been that scared since you almost let me die!"]]
** And we're not sure ''which'' incident Steven is referring to.
* We see the crowd listening intently...except for one guy who is passionately singing along.
* "Wait, no! You can start smaller! ''Talk to a nerd!!''"
* And Steven's reaction, "Amethyst!" The way Zach Callison says it.
* [[FreezeFrameBonus Look closely]] when Pearl goes up to talk to the Mystery Girl; her eyes are clearly animated going top to bottom checking Pearl out [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar and liking what she sees]].
* Pearl's idea of [[NoSocialSkills socializing with humans]] is explaining that her appearance is just a conscious manipulation of light, and then informing them that she saved their planet and their species and they should thank her. Funnily enough, it works.
* The 'ending credits'
--> Starring PEARL as [[{{Adorkable}} REPRESSED NERD]]\\
AMETHYST as [[RomanticWingman ULTIMATE WINGMAN]]\\
STEVEN as [[OnlySaneMan VOICE OF REASON]]\\
and introducing [[CharacterAsHimself MYSTERY GIRL as HERSELF]]
** The entire episode is presented like a typical 90s Gen-X teenage, going-to-the-big-rock-show, coming-of-age movie.
[[AC:"Onion Gang"]]
* The episode opens with Steven and Onion jumping on the couch in Steven's house. Which they've apparently been doing for ''two hours''.
* All the times Steven acts as Onion's narrator (with the last one being {{Heartwarming}}).
* As Onion drags Steven off into the woods, they pass by Onion's house, where Yellowtail is posing for a painting for his wife... while lounging in a deck chair wearing nothing but underpants.
* Soup looking like [[{{Undertale}} Frisk]] is funny enough on it's own, but it gets funnier when you realize that "Onion Gang" aired on ''Undertale'''s anniversary.
* Steven overreacting to Garbanzo "dying" after they crash their go-kart, complete with ketchup-as-fake-blood and Squash [[DiesWideOpen closing Garbanzo's eyes]].
* The gang has a lot of pictures of people they scared with their [[TotemPoleTrench trench coat joke]] pinned to a tree. Everyone on the photos looks either scared or annoyed. Well, with the exception of [[TheStoic Garnet]], who stares at the camera with her [[TheComicallySerious typical deadpan]] and gives a [[BrickJoke thumbs-up]]. Which makes sense, since she probably knew what was going on.
** She may even have been endorsing what she saw as a human attempt at fusion, which is an even funnier possibility.
* Steven texts [[TheWorkaholic Peedee]] to ask if he wants to hang out, who declines due to the end of summer creating an upsurge in business for Beach Citywalk Fries. He promptly follows this up with a bunch of happy emojis.
* When Squash is packing up his suitcase, the entire thing is filled with squashes.
[[AC:"Gem Harvest"]]
* This:
-->'''Peridot''': (Comes onscreen on a tractor) Steven! (Tractor goes off-screen)\\
'''Peridot''': (Tractor comes back) [[CaptainObvious I'm on a tractor!]]
* Lapis and Peridot assuming that growing vegetables was like growing Gems.
* Steven using his healing spit on a pumpkin seed to "help" Lapis and Peridot.
-->'''Steven''': Garnet says not to lick stuff I find on the ground, but this is for a good cause!
* Upon seeing Andy, Garnet comments about how she told Lapis and Peridot that it would have been a good idea to get a guard dog. Cue Veggie Head running up and barking at them, eliciting aghast and confused looks from Pearl and Amethyst. Garnet's only reaction?
-->'''Garnet:''' I guess that works.
* Andy assuming that Lapis and Peridot were hobos, then hippies.
* TheReveal that Greg Universe was born... Greg [=DeMayo=]. And Steven actually thinking it's a better last name than "boring old Universe".
** After we find out Greg legally changed it, we get this bit:
--->'''Andy:''' You didn't even keep the family name!? But you go around giving away family property like candy on...[[AlternateUniverse some candy-giving-out holiday!?]]
* [[FishOutOfWater The Gems]] try to liven up the family dinner by combining other human festivities, like getting married (with a wedding cake), being born (with a balloon reading "It's a BOY"), and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick dying (with a tombstone with Andy's name on it)]]. Andy looks annoyed... then [[ActuallyPrettyFunny bursts out laughing]].
-->'''Lapis:''' We're very sorry for your marriage.
** The fact that Pearl introduces the wedding cake by saying "We heard you like marriage, so we thought 'why don't we all marry each other'?"
* The Gems cracking in-jokes at the dinner table.
-->'''Peridot''': Now that I've been at this table, I see the value of ''corn''!
* Everyone's (save Peridot, who's laughing right alongside Lapis) awkward reactions when Lapis [[GallowsHumor cracks a joke about her imprisonment in the mirror]].
* A meta example; the fact that Andy is voiced by Dave Willis makes it hard not to imagine Andy as [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Carl Brutananadilewski]].
* Doubles as Heartwarming. While the Gems were waiting for Steven to return, Lapis and Peridot were ''apparently'' trying to teach Veggie Head how to speak. What was one of the words Peri tried to teach him?
-->'''Peridot''': Now, say "clod." Ca-lo-duh.
* As Andy is venting to Steven about the family leaving, you can just see a bored and blank expression on Lapis' face.
[[AC:"Three Gems And A Baby"]]
* Baby Steven popping out of the bag of groceries after Greg finds he's been carrying a loaf of bread swaddled in a blanket. Either poor, frazzled single dad Greg got a bit mixed-up, or Steven somehow swapped places with the loaf while Greg wasn't looking. It's funny either way.
* The wildly-inappropriate gifts the Gems gets for baby Steven: a safety razor from Garnet, a box of (adult) diapers from Amethyst, and a dictionary from Pearl.
* When Steven's gem glows, Pearl becomes convinced that Rose is inside it and tries to talk with her through the gem... and baby Steven grabs her nose.
--> '''Pearl:''' ''(deadpan)'' Baby, please. I'm trying to talk to Rose.
* The title for the book Vidalia had on babies is called "Babies, Huh?"
* Steven understandably freaks out when [[spoiler:he finds out the Gems abruptly kidnapped him as a baby.]]
-->'''Steven:''' You [[spoiler:kidnapped me?!]]
-->'''Amethyst:''' ''(Casually)'' A-Yup.
-->'''Garnet:''' Some of our actions were a bit... [[{{Understatement}} regrettable.]]
-->'''Pearl:''' At the time we thought it'd be better to handle things our way.
-->'''Amethyst:''' Nah, [[spoiler:we straight up 'napped you.]]
* When [[spoiler:the Gems kidnap baby Steven to both raise him themselves and get Rose back]], Greg tries to catch up by borrowing a sled and a dog. Poor Greg ends up being chased by said dog, who's carrying the sled.
** Amethyst's remark of "Good thing we left without any explanation."
** Greg's whole SesameStreet routine when coming up with the idea to put together a dogsled.
--> "Dog... sled... Dog. Sled. Dog! Sled!"
* Amethyst apparently shapeshifted into a ''toilet'' for a while. No explanation for why she did this is given.
** She also thinks that baby Steven is just Rose shapeshifted into a baby, and wonders if being a baby is fun. She then changes into a baby and tells Garnet to hold her, then after a few seconds, just says "Alright, I get it. This rules."
* Steven's BrutalHonesty about the Gem's actions in the story, even if it leads into a heartwarming speech:
-->'''Steven:''' Wow, you guys were wrong about everything.
* The Gems [[NoodleIncident once mistook Steven's babysitter taking him to the park for a kidnapping]], and one of them wound up throwing a ''jungle gym'' at her.
** Greg's phrasing implies that it was ''Pearl'' who threw it.
[[AC:"Steven's Dream"]]
* "Look at the time... and my fancy new watch!"
* Connie wipes all the papers off the table in her excitement.
-->'''Connie:''' ''(In an incredibly excited tone)'' Sorry, I'll clean that up later!
** The way Steven looks up in wonder to watch the papers flying away.
* Steven shows Amethyst a picture of the Palanquin from Buddy's journal.
-->'''Amethyst:''' Steven... you deserve to know the truth. And the truth is... [[BaitAndSwitchComment I have no idea what that is]], I've never seen it before in my life.
* Garnet tries to talk Steven out of going to the Palanquin, only to realize that everything she's saying [[ForbiddenFruit just makes it seem more enticing]].
* Steven insists that their mission to Korea to look for the Palanquin is serious work, and there'll be no time for fun. Greg insists there might be time for "a little fun". Cue GoodTimesMontage of Greg and Steven taking in the sights around Korea, including:
** Greg and Steven indulging in a CostumeTestMontage.
** Greg mistaking one of a group of MiniatureSeniorCitizens for Steven.
** Steven and Greg wandering through an animation studio... one that's working on [[RecursiveCanon an episode of the Steven Universe cartoon]], much to the bafflement and worry of Greg, who hastily shoos Steven out.
*** Even better, the animator’s actually drawing a later frame ''from the same episode''.
* When Steven and Greg get off and approach the area where Pink Diamond's Palanquin rests, there's a Korean sign that roughly states to stay away, as well as [[BrickJoke a piece of wood with the word "Please" written on it by Pearl.]]
* Greg awkwardly trying to talk his way out when he and Steven run into Blue Diamond and Blue Pearl. Complete with finger guns.
* A small, easily missed one - Blue Diamond’s comment to Greg about her secret trips to Earth is reminiscent of a teenager confiding to their friend about disobeying their forbidding parent.
-->'''Blue Diamond:''' ''(To Greg)'' You know, I really shouldn’t be here.
[[AC:"Adventures in Light Distortion"]]
* Pearl feels faint on learning Blue Diamond's been spotted on Earth.
-->'''Pearl:''' ''(Weakly)'' Amethyst, turn into a chair... I need to sit down...
* "They took Greg?!" "''Our'' Greg?!" "What other Greg is there?"
* The Homeworld Rubies make a cameo... still drifting helplessly through space after the events of "Back to the Moon" and "Bubbled". Three of them even [[CrossesTheLineTwice collide with the Roaming Eye's windshield before sliding off]]. Steven says they can pick them up on the way home, ''after'' they rescue Greg.
* Pearl estimating that at their current rate of speed, they’ll reach the human zoo in about 70 human years, just in time for Greg’s "110th anniversary of being alive". When Steven objects, saying that Greg isn’t healthy enough to live that long, she asks if he thinks Greg can make it to 109.
* Pearl casually discussing how the FTL "gravity engine" on their ship might reduce Steven to a pancake of squashed flesh and bones, leading to this HypocriticalHumor moment:
-->'''Amethyst:''' Euw, bones are gross!\\
'''Garnet:''' ''You'' have bones in your bedroom.\\
'''Amethyst:''' That's different. Those are ''my'' bones!
* Steven manages to survive the activation of the gravity engine... but finds the gravity warp has compressed Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst's bodies so they're thick-limbed and no taller than Steven, to Amethyst’s amusement.
-->'''Amethyst:''' ''(Giggling)'' Please tell me this lasts forever!
** When Amethyst tries to see if she can shapeshift out of it, she turns into her Purple Puma form, but with her size and proportions still short and squat.
--->'''Amethyst:''' Huh. Check it out, Puma Cub.
** It turns out the Crystal Gems' condition is because the ship is calibrated to Rubies, as Peridot was trying to explain before they left.
--->'''Pearl:''' Why doesn't she tell us anything? [[HypocriticalHumor This is why we never listen to her]]!
* The HardLight bodies of Gems don't take well to faster-than-light travel. The Roaming Eye has software to counter this... Except Steven can't find the right settings, deforming everyone's bodies in hilarious ways.
** First, they’re shrunk to Ruby-size. Then, they’re all tall and stretched out. Then, they’re shrunk to the size of bugs while their Gems appear oversized, and ''then'' they wind up taking up the whole screen because they’re Diamond-sized!
*** The mere fact that the ship has a Diamond setting at all when there’s not enough space for even one Diamond to so much as ''sit'' without banging her head on the ceiling.
*** The fact that the bug-sized forms are a preset means that there are actually Gems of that size.
** When Steven tries to manually adjust the settings, things get even weirder. Their limbs and necks stretch out, and what happens after that is the most absurd; Pearl swells up like a balloon, Garnet turns into a kiddie stool with arms and legs (and starts rolling the inflated Pearl around), and Amethyst turns into a sausage!
--->'''Amethyst:''' Uh, Steven? This is getting a little weird, even for me.
*** And he actually gets it right at one point, but keeps changing things too fast to notice.
* It happens after a very cathartic moment, but watching the Gems clip through the wall back into the ship is pretty funny. They all look mildly traumatized (although Amethyst turns out to have liked it).
-->'''Amethyst:''' I never knew I could stretch so far! ''(giggles)'' I think I sorta phased through a planet!
** Pearl’s slightly delirious explanation of what happened.
[[AC:"Gem Heist"]]
* Steven’s idea for a disguise is calling himself [[ThisIsMyNameOnForeign "Esteban Universidad"]]. And Sapphire actually calls him this.
* When Pearl asks if this will work, [[BrutalHonesty Sapphire replies with a no]]. She then tells the group to stick together, play it straight, and change the future with a crooked, forced grin.
* Steven calling the Gems rockheads.
* Ruby’s idea of a distraction apparently means screaming "EXPLOSION!", right in the middle of Holly Blue Agate’s explanation.
-->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' ''Pardon me?''
** [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption She interrupted Holly Blue's explanation]] in such a way that for a moment it sounds like the one time Gems needed to get into the zoo was because of a ''human explosion''.
* Once Sapphire and Holly Blue leave, Ruby throws a bit of a tantrum at the idea of Blue Diamond being "merciful".
* Ruby’s attempts to open the service door to the zoo. She first runs up against it, which leaves foot-shaped burn marks on the door. Then, she scratches at it while screaming at the top of her lungs, before letting her legs give out and lying face-down on the floor. This entire sequence barely takes five seconds.
* This exchange:
-->'''Sapphire:''' I am SO GLAD we're ''ALMOST BACK'', I was ''really'' enjoying the tour!
-->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' (cheerily) Yes, I can tell by the tone of your voice!
* Pretty much anything to do with [[SmugSnake Holly Blue Agate]], the insufferable boot-licking administrator at the Zoo.
** Holly Blue sees the burn marks Ruby left on the door to the Zoo... and assumes the damage was done by one of the Amethysts on board.
** Holly Blue tells off a few Amethysts for running and shouting in the Zoo like a very angry preschool teacher.
--->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' We do not RUN [[HypocriticalHumor OR SHOUT]] '''IN THESE HALLWAYS!'''
*** Said Amethyst begins to talk softer… only for Holly to chastise her for mumbling. While still shouting.
*** Also, she pretends she can't understand what Steven is saying... despite speaking the exact same language.
* Steven's angry and embarrassed reaction to being stripped of his clothes by the processing machine for the Zoo.
** When the machine’s "hand" tries to remove his pants, he pushes it away to get them and spare himself the humiliation, while the "hand" just waits for him to give it the pants.
-->'''Steven:''' ''(grumbles)'' I'll just find my Dad without pants.
* "Our" Amethyst’s shapeshifted attempt to look like a typical Amethyst guard gives her a bigger body, but the same round head and round eyes. The other Amethysts have smaller eyes and more squared features, and the contrast when she’s in the same shot as them is considerable.
* Sapphire "winking". Since she has only one eye, it's indistinguishable from a regular blink and it takes a moment for Steven and Pearl to catch on.
[[AC:"The Zoo"]]
* Greg and Steven have to introduce the "Zoomans" to the cannonball because of the ridiculously small splashes they make, even from tall heights.
-->'''Steven:''' Those are the teensiest splashes I've ever seen...
* The citizens of the Zoo are apparently paired off for mating through [[BuffySpeak "The Choosening"]]. Apparently, the Gems running the zoo couldn’t come up with a better term.
* Greg’s response when he finds out what the Choosening is is to wearily comment that Utopias always have a catch.
** While his reasons are both understandable and [[HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]], the fact that Greg considers being paired with a pretty blonde to be a ''bad'' thing is funny itself.
* When Greg tries to tell the Zoo humans about Earthly relationships and courtship, ''everyone'', [[EvenTheGuysWantHim male and female]], tries to "choosen" Greg.
** Earlier, Greg is worried over being “choosened”, so Steven decides to assure him that [[TemptingFate since he’s a newcomer, he won’t get picked]]. Guess what happens?
* When Steven is carrying Greg away from the zoo humans that want to "choosen" him, he accidentally gets hit by a branch.
-->'''Greg:''' [[ShoutOut Watch out for that--!]] ''(gets hit)''
* This bit:
-->'''Greg:''' I haven't broken this many hearts since I had all my hair!
* When Greg refuses to be "choosened" and makes all the other humans in the Zoo cry, a team of Amethysts burst into the room... and try to comfort the upset humans. Doubles as a heartwarming moment, too.
* Steven has to act a like a parent to Greg (who seems to enjoy living in the zoo) for the entire episode, wearing a deadpan expression and making snide comments the whole time.
[[AC:"That Will Be All"]]
* Amethyst trolling Steven and Greg about being captured and joking around with the other Gems from the Prime and Beta Kindergartens.
* One of the Gems from the Beta Kindergarten is Carnelian, a squat red Gem who is delighted she's "not the shortest anymore!", and celebrates by lifting Amethyst over her head and running around laughing like a little kid who just got the best birthday present ever. Doubles as Heartwarming.
* The Jasper called "Skinny" is at least a head taller than any of the other Quartzes on the station, near the dramatic height of the Jasper we know - but she’s built like ''Pearl''.
* Blink and you miss it, but when our Amethyst says the Zooman outfit is a good look for Greg, he looks flattered.
* Right when Steven is asking the Quartzes for help finding the other Crystal Gems, the door opens and they and Holly Blue are standing ''right there''.
** After Holly Blue chastises the Gems for lazing about and tells them to hurry up into their positions to show their gratitude towards Blue Diamond. When she opens the door Sapphire, Ruby and Pearl are seen leaning over where the door was with a hand cupped over their ear.
* Yellow Diamond’s VillainSong is awesome enough on its own, but it reveals one of the lesser-known benefits to owning your own Pearl; they serve as your own personal back-up singers.
* After hearing Sapphire's made-up explanation for her visit to Earth and subsequent visit to the Zoo, that she foresaw that Blue Diamond would want more samples from Earth preserved, Blue Diamond eventually concedes that it does sound exactly like her.
* When they’re interrupted by Holly Blue Agate and she starts off with a sycophantic spill of praise, Blue Diamond looks away and Yellow Diamond rolls her eyes. Apparently this Agate’s no more popular with her superiors than her inferiors. Even with the Diamonds demanding deference and respect from their subordinates, Holly Blue’s brownnosing is too much.
** Holly Blue finally opening her eyes and realizing there are two Diamonds there, and hastily adding "s" to "Diamond" and "radiance".
* Holly Blue failing to notice Steven and Greg escaping ''literally right under her nose''. When she finally looks and catches them at the last second, Pearl’s mouth is an x.
** Also, what she says right before catching the Crystal Gems.
--->'''Holly Blue Agate:''' Two Diamonds, in one day! What an honor! ''(Turns around)'' [[TemptingFate I don’t think ANYTHING can spoil this for me!]] ''[[InstantlyProvenWrong (Sees the Gems pushing Greg and Steven on board the Roaming Eye)]]''
* Holly Blue Agate [[HumiliationConga finally gets her comeuppance]]. First the Crystal Gems [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp her]], with Amethyst tying her up with her own whip and Garnet knocking her over with her bare hand after threatening her with her gauntlet. Then, when Holly threatens to report them, Pearl shuts her up by pointing out that if she reported a group of rebels breaking in and escaping with a captive under her watch, Holly Blue [[YouHaveFailedMe would be in deep trouble]]. And on the way out, Pearl tells Holly Blue "[[IronicEcho That will be all!]]"
** Steven claps when Pearl says that, mimicking Holly Blue’s and Yellow Diamond’s claps when ordering their subordinates around.
** All the while, the quartzes under her control laugh and cheer on the Crystal Gems instead of helping. Maybe if you weren’t such a BadBoss, Holly Blue.
** Easy to miss, but when Garnet hits Holly Blue, the latter ''squeaks''. Like a dog toy.
* The final shot we get from inside of the zoo is of all of the Earth-gems smiling and waving goodbye… With in the center of it all, Holly Blue, looking completely defeated. Carnelian is leaning on her in a very condescending manner. The fact that she’s the shortest of the bunch does ''not'' help.
* Greg remarks that being abducted by aliens is [[NoodleIncident "the third-craziest weekend I've had."]] You have to wonder what could have happened to Greg that was crazier than what he just went through.
[[AC:"The New Crystal Gems"]]
* Connie arrives at Steven's house and realizes she's not alone... turns out Peridot and Lapis are in the bathroom, with Peridot sitting in the toilet, apparently demonstrating her failed attempt to escape that way back in "Catch and Release".
-->'''Peridot:''' Don't you ''knock?''
-->'''Lapis:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Weirdo.]]
* Lapis doesn't recognize Connie, having not seen her since "Ocean Gem" way back in season one.
-->'''Connie:''' ''(miffed)'' You almost drowned me when you tried to steal all the world's water.\\
'''Lapis:''' [[ButForMeItWasTuesday I almost drowned a lot of people...]]
* Pumpkin surprises Connie by jumping out of the dirty clothes hamper.
* Peridot decides that if they want to help people like the Crystal Gems do, they need to emulate the Crystal Gems. Naturally, she claims the role of Garnet for herself, and spends much of the episode wearing a pair of CoolShades. Over her visor.
** After assigning the roles of Amethyst and Steven to Lapis and Connie respectively, they realize that they need someone to be Pearl. They flippantly decide to make Pumpkin Pearl, and get her "into character" by putting a cone party hat on her face.
* Before the "Crystal Gems" head to It's a Wash, Peridot cues Connie (playing as Steven) to get in character by making a pun. Connie obliges with, "Well, 'water' we waiting for?"
* When Peridot decides to take on Garnet's role, as she's the best one to be "the boss", Lapis snarks that she is pretty bossy, [[SarcasmBlind Peridot takes it as a compliment and thanks Lapis for it.]]
* Lapis pretending she doesn't remember who Amethyst is.
* "Good job, Pumpkin! Pearl ''does'' like soap!"
** Even funnier when you realize that [[ExtremeOmnivore eating soap]] is something ''Amethyst'' would do, not Pearl.
* The second time the Crystal Temps go to the car wash, Lapis briefly decides that ''she'' should "the Garnet." Jennifer Paz's [[BriefAccentImitation fake British accent]] is golden.
** Lapis gets into the role really quickly too; when Peridot reminds her that she's supposed to be Amethyst, this is her response:
-->'''Lapis:''' [[ThatWomanIsDead There is no Amethyst]]; [[ShoutOut only Garnet.]]
* Connie finally snaps and tells the Crystal Temps to quit pretending to be the Crystal Gems and protect Beach City as themselves. Lapis' response is gold.
-->'''Lapis:''' You ''do'' make a good Steven.
-->'''Connie:''' ''[[DeathGlare Watch it.]]''
* Making that sign seems to have taken a ''lot'' out of Peridot. It actually sounds like Shelby Rebara ran up and down the hall a few times before recording the lines.
[[AC:"Storm in the Room"]]
* Dr. Maheswaran must be getting used to Steven. She doesn't seem to notice Steven's "Zooman" outfit, except thinking he's back from a trip to the spa. And her reaction to Connie correcting her by saying Steven went to ''space'' is a nonplussed "Huh."
* The game Steven plays with the cloud-room version of Rose is ''Lonely Arms'', an arm-wrestling game based on the ''Lonely Blade'' movies. Just the sort of oddly-specific spin-off you'd expect from a big franchise.
* Cloud Rose pulling the famous ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} football gag on Steven, complete with Peanuts-like music in the background.
* Steven only having Greg's stories and the tape to go on for what Rose talked like leads to her waxing poetic about the beauty of ''sports''.
[[AC:"Rocknaldo"]]
* Even when Steven blatantly spells it out, it still takes a minute before Ronaldo realizes that the Crystal Gems and "rock people" are the same thing.
* After Steven corrects his wrong-headed ideas about the "rock people", Ronaldo makes a post on his blog saying that he has to leave and think things over, and he may never return to the Internet... and while Steven is in the middle of reading his post, Ronaldo posts a video.
* Ronaldo, AKA "Bloodstone", shows off his "Gem Weapon"... a cheap prop katana he bought at a convention that can't even cut through a juice box.
* "Bloodstone" growing increasingly erratic from sleep deprivation, like laughing at nothing in particular when Amethyst talks.
