History Funny / TimeSquad

* When the Founding Fathers are trying to write the Declaration of Independence, John Adams tries to "[[UnwantedAssistance help]]" by shouting random words. "You're no help, Adams!"
* Turns out Adams is as obnoxious and disliked [[Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix as previously stated]].

* Tuddrussel's overall track record as a Time Squad operative before Otto showed up, he never really seemed to understand the underlying concept of what his job entailed, and instead treated it as a cop gig. Highlights include fining Nostradamus for making false prophecies and then arresting him for swearing at an officer of the law (he was actually speaking German), confiscating Ben Franklin's kite for operating electric equipment without a license, and trying to apprehend Lady Godiva for indecent exposure.
* An off-screen moment of funny happens in the episode where Otto gets sick and can't help the others to deal with Ben Franklin quitting politics ("Floundering Fathers"). The start of the episode has the team in Czarist Russia, where their mission had apparently been to get Creator/KarlMarx to give up a career in building the largest igloo in the world. A similar funny pre-main plot joke is in ''Cabin Fever'' when the team has just finished up a mission to get Louis Armstrong to get back to playing music, instead of his plan to drill to the center of the Earth. What's even funnier is that they were apparently forced to resort to physical force and that Armstrong kicked their ass.

* Tuddrussel's solution to getting rid of Sister Thornly by electrocuting her with his taser gun in Eli Whitney's Flesh-eating Mistake. The fact that he has no idea that she's an awful person who would be of all people that Tuddrussel has come across to deserve it makes it all the more hilarious when he whips it out. And then Otto tries to stop him by saying "Let me take care of her!", this leaves Tuddrussel to consider this thoughtfully, and he casually hands the kid the taser thinking that Otto was wanting to taser her. Otto's horrified face is priceless as he pushes the taser away to insist on using 'words' to get her to leave.
** Otto's introduction to Time Squad from Tuddrussel is great because he is trying so hard to impress the kid, from saying that "We come from the future where there's no war, no pollution, and bacon is good for your heart", to acting so confident when he says, "Computer! How about a refreshing beverage?" and instead of a high tech machine "magically" bringing him a can of soda, Larry just miserably walks out from the kitchen to bring him the can himself.

** The very end of the episode: Josephine having reached her RageBreakingPoint single handily beats up the entire Napoleon army in a CurbStompBattle Otto calls her out that she's perfect for the army and she agrees and reconciles with Napoleon as result. The pair rides out for war in what looks like a happy romantic ending. Suddenly the Time Squad notices something and awkwardly [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere excuses themselves]]. What did they see? A city sign reading "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Waterloo Waterloo]]".

* Larry being chased by Tuddrussell (with a pair of jeans), Otto, Winston Churchill wearing a Dutch dress, Roosevelt wearing an Eskimo parka, and Stalin in a tourist outfit in "The Prime Minister Has No Clothes" in a ''Benny Hill''-esque chase scene, complete with the tune of ''Yakkety Sax''. ItMakesSenseInContext, [[BlatantLies honest]]! ("From now on Larry, you're wearing pants!")

--> '''Buffalo Bill''': It's all right here in the twenty dollar bill, man! You see right here next to
--> the White House and next to the bushes, an alien saucer!
--> '''Otto''': What?! That's barbecue sauce!
--> '''Buffalo Bill''': Yeah, yeah, that's just what ''they'' want you to think, man!
* This;

--->'''Earl of Sandwich''': (burned sandwich) This one was too hot, (one in a block of ice) This one too cold, (another covered in slime) this one too icky... (the final one is a nauseous looking one) [[EpicFail I don't even know what happened here!]]

* Also from the Dr. Freud episode, after Larry explains his dream to the doctor he unsympathetically recoils at him.

* Tuddrussel kickstarting the Boston Tea Party by introducing the conspirators to coffee, as well as their later cameo [[spoiler: and role as DeusExMachina]] in "Betsy Ross Flies Her Freak Flag".

* In Feud for Thought, where Otto and Tuddrussel paint fighting words on the sides of the Mccoy's and the Hatfield's houses, and the two patriarchs find the work.
-->'''Randall Mccoy''': 'Hatfields Rule'... AUGH THOSE DIRTY HATFIELDS!
-->'''William Hatfield''': 'Mccoys rock'...WHAT'S THAT EVEN MEAN?!

** The absolutely abysmal state of Rome when Time Squad arrives, especially considering this episode takes place during Caesar's reign in 46 B.C., which is widely considered to be part of the city's golden age. The legionnaires are so pathetically weak Tuddrussel can just smack the weapons out of their hands, the lions in the Colosseum are emaciated and half-dead, and the infrastructure is so run down that Tuddrussel makes the whole arena collapse just by punching a wall.

* When the Founding Fathers are trying to write the Declaration of Independence and John Adams tries to "[[UnwantedAssistance help]]" by shouting random words. "You're no help, Adams!"

** The fact that the French Academy of Science gave him an award for drink mix! They later rescind the award and give it to Marie Curie... because she invented popsicles (with a little help from Otto).

** Another moment earlier in the episode when Larry suddenly turns to act like a drunk person, he slurs his words, is uncoordinated and when they try to leave for Paris, France, Larry doesn't even type in the coordinates, he just presses the start button making the time machine zap them out and back again to the launching dock and drunkenly says "Mission accomplished!". When Otto points this problem out, Larry gets upset and yells, "Hey, who's the captain around here?!" and falls down.
* "Ex Marks the Spot" involves Time Squad arriving at Johannes Gutenberg's printing shop, only to discover that Joan Of Arc has somehow ended up there. Joan is so frustrated with the typesetting machine that her temper causes her to throw equipment out the window and hit an unsuspecting Larry in the face. When Otto ponders where Gutenberg has ended up, we find out that he has switched places with Arc and is doing an abysmal job at leading the French army, being more concerned with the font and design of his war maps than the state of the army, which is suffering a serious beatdown. Despite feeling sorry for the poor French soldiers, one can't help but laugh at their AmusingInjuries, including one guy who has a battle ax sticking out of his head.

** The Man With No Name, as in the Clint Eastwood character, happens come to take Tuddrussel and the gang down. What follows is a great manhunt that's straight from a Tex Avery cartoon. No matter where the guys hide, The Man With No Name is right there with them.

* Larry being chased by Tuddrussell (with a pair of jeans), Otto, Winston Churchill wearing a dress, Roosevelt wearing an Eskimo parka, and Stalin in a tourist outfit in "The Prime Minister Has No Clothes" in a ''Benny Hill''-esque chase scene, complete with the tune of ''Yakkety Sax''. ItMakesSenseInContext, [[BlatantLies honest]]!

** Otto had to be left at home due to a nasty cold (he forgot to bring a jacket when they had to convince UsefulNotes/KarlMarx to write the Communis Manifest instead of building the world's biggest igloo), and Tuddrussel and Larry are predictably helpless without him. As mentioned above, they have no idea what the problem is, Tuddrussel didn't actually tell any of the Founders why he assaulted them, they helped Franklin invent the lightbulb because they confused him with UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison, and even when Otto outright spells it out for them, that The Founders can't finish the Declaration of Independence without Franklin, Tuddrussel butts in again because he didn't like Franklin's pitch of "self-evident". Only Larry bringing Otto with him, leading the Founders through the iconic opening line of the Declaration of Independence, fixes the mission.

** When asked why he built an army of flesh-eating robots, Eli Whitney proudly declares that he wanted to invent something that would improve the world. He doesn't have an answer when asked about how flesh-eating robots would accomplish that.

-->'''Larry''': (painfully knowing Tuddrussel has a point) Ooooh...well, you can't KEEP kidnapping people from history. . .

-->'''Larry''' (painfully knowing Tuddrussel has a point) Ooooh...well, you can't KEEP kidnapping people from history. . .

* From "Old Timers' Squad": TheReveal that Samuel Morse has ''already invented the telegraph'', but he was just using it to send funny beeps to his girlfriend across town and had instead tried to campaign for yelling like a lunatic out the window as the new revolutionary form of communication. [[WhatAnIdiot Time Squad is less than impressed]].

--->'''Tuddrussell''': Aw, I'm sorry. I want you to have a happy birthday. ''(puts a hand on Larry's shoulder)'': I love you, buddy.
--->'''Larry''' ''(sniffles)'': Really?
--->'''Tuddrussell''' ''(cracks up)'': No! ''(walks away as Larry continues sobbing)''

--> '''Larry''': Ugh! You can't just kidnap people from history and-and bring them back here like some kind of pet!
--> '''Tuddrussel''': What about Otto?
--> '''Larry''' (painfully knowing Tuddrussel has a point) Ooooh...well, you can't KEEP kidnapping people from history. . .

--> '''Tuddrussel''': Ooh, was I supposed to tell him about that? Oops.
--> '''Larry''': You beat him like a [[BrickJoke microwave]] and you didn’t tell him why?! You're a LUNATIC!!
* One of the best moments is when the Squad goes back to find Edgar Allan Poe, who has turned into
saccharine incarnate. After he reads them "The Bear" (the kid-friendly version of ''The Raven''), it is the most cheesy, schmaltzy, SugarBowl thing ever written, and after he finishes, the stunned, shocked, and even ''horrified'' looks on the Squad's faces are absolutely the pinnacle of hilarity for this show. What makes it better is Tuddrussell's delayed JawDrop.
** Another from the Poe episode: Poe goes to a hospital to cheer up patients Patch Addams style. He changes into a clown costume behind a curtain, but the curtain is around the bed of a man in traction and a full body cast. The only part of the guy able to react to what just happened are his eyes.

* In the episode where they meet Buffalo Bill, they find him as a lunatic conspiracy theorist. He argues with Otto over that Abraham Lincoln had a giant hypnotic eye underneath his hat and that Thomas Jefferson had special relationships with aliens.

--->'''Otto''' : Sir, that's a terrible name!

* Also from Dr. Freud episode, after Larry explains his dream to the doctor he unsympathetically recoils at him.

* In Feud for Thought, where Otto and Tuddrussel paint fighting words on the sides of the Mccoy's and the Hatfield's houses and the two patriarchs find the work.

** The absolutely abysmal state of Rome when Time Squad arrives, especially considering this episode takes place during Caesar's reign in 46 B.C, which is widely considered to be part of the city's golden age. The legionnaires are so pathetically weak Tuddrussel can just smack the weapons out of their hands, the lions in the Colosseum are emaciated and half-dead, and the infrastructure is so run down that Tuddrussel makes the whole arena collapse just by punching a wall.

* From "Child's Play": Larry thinking the greatest writers in history are Danielle Steele (who writes women's mysteries) and Creator/JackieCollins (who writes sleazy, almost soap-operaish novels about celebrities -- a lot of which are based on real-life ones -- being naughty, whether it's committing murder or having hot, naked affairs with other people).

--->'''Tuddrussell'': Aw, I'm sorry. I want you to have a happy birthday. ''(puts a hand on Larry's shoulder)'': I love you, buddy.

--->'''Otto:'''What?! I'm only eight!

--->'''Larry:'''Oh, just think of all the software I'll never get the chance to download. (turns to Otto) Well, at least you've led a full life.

--> '''Tuddrussel''': Ooh,
was I supposed to tell him about that? Oops.

--> '''Tuddrussel''': ...was I supposed to bring that up? Oops. *shrugs sheepishly*
--> '''Larry''': You've been beating him like a [[BrickJoke microwave]] and not told him why?! You're a LUNATIC!!

--> '''Larry''': Ugh! You just can't up and kidnap someone from history and treat them like some kind of pet!
--> '''Tuddrussel''': Well what about Otto?
--> '''Larry''' (painfully knowing Tuddrussel has a point) Ooooh...well you can't KEEP kidnapping people from history. . .

--> '''Tuddrussel''': [[WhatAnIdiot ...was I supposed to bring that up? Oops.]] *shrugs sheepishly*

* An off-screen moment of funny happens in the episode where Otto gets sick and can't help the others to deal with Ben Franklin quitting politics ("Floundering Fathers"). The start of the episode has the team in Czarist Russia, where their mission had apparently been to get Creator/KarlMarx to give up a career in building the largest igloo in the world.

What's even funnier is that they were apparently forced to resort to physical force and that Armstrong kicked their ass.

** Josephine turns out to be comically bad at EVERYTHING she tries her hand at. She burns the food in cooking class, has a horrendous musical performance and somehow caused a kiln explosion in pottery class.
** Time Squad and Napoleon sneaking off to do some conquering on the side, and leaving crudely made dummies in their place that don't fool Josephine for a second. It's even funnier that they use the same damn dummies TWICE.

-->'''Tuddrussel:''' (''chuckles'') Man, that guy is ''whipped!''
-->'''Josephine:''' (''opens the door and shoots a DeathGlare at the three of them'')
-->'''Tuddrussel:''' (''ScreamsLikeALittleGirl and runs off'')

* When the guys find out that they're going to visit the American explorers, Lewis and Clark, Tuddrussel immediately exclaims- "Great Ceasar's ghost! We're going to meet Superman!" Leading Otto to groan- "That's Lois and Clark!"

saccharine incarnate. After he reads them "The Bear" (the kid-friendly version of ''The Raven''), and it is the most cheesy, schmaltzy, SugarBowl thing ever written, and after he finishes, the stunned, shocked, and even ''horrified'' looks on the Squads faces are absolutely the pinnacle of hilarity for this show. What makes it better is Tuddrussell's delayed JawDrop.

-->'''Otto''': Aww, look how cute that moose looks in the little party hat!

-->'''Earl of Sandwich''': (burned sandwich) This one was too hot, (one in a block of ice) This one too cold, (another covered in slime) this one too icky... (the final one is a nauseous looking one) [[EpicFail I don't even know what happened here!]]
-->'''Tuddrussel''': (starts eating the sandwich) Not bad!
-->(Later)
-->'''Tuddrussel''': (nauseous burp) This thing's making me sick. (Keeps eating the sandwich)

--> '''Otto''' : Sir, that's a terrible name!
--> '''The Earl of Sandwich''' : ''[[UnfortunateName It was my mother's maiden name!]]''

--> '''Citizen 1''': Hey! where's the mayor?
--> '''Deputy''': well, uhh- he's currently chasing a cat up a tree.
--> '''Citizen 2''': Where's the police chief?
--> '''Deputy''': He's the cat. Now let me hear your complaints one at a time!
--> '''Man with bandaged arm''': The mailman bit ME this morning!
--> '''Woman with New Jersey accent''': Mah husband POOPED on the lawn!
--> '''A concerned father''': My teenager is a pig! (''BEAT'') Oh, and he thinks he's a squirrel!

--> '''Larry''': WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN, DOCTOR? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!
--> '''Freud''': It means you're crazy, don't touch me!

** The visual gag in the Betsy Ross episode is hysterical when you notice that all of the hippies have pink, glazed over eyes and Betsy sends George Washington 'homemade brownies'.

* In Feud for Thought, where Otto and Tuddrussel paints fighting words on the sides of the Mccoy's and the Hatfield's houses and the two patriarchs find the work.
--> '''Randall Mccoy''': 'Hatfields Rule'... AUGH THOSE DIRTY HATFIELDS!
--> '''William Hatfield''': 'Mccoy's rock'...WHAT'S THAT EVEN MEAN?!
** The terror campaign Tuddrussel and Otto wages on both families to piss them off at each other, such as stealing a scarecrow, leading to crows IMMEDIATELY devouring the Hatfields corn down to the last kernel, to pouring cement in the Mccoy's well.
--> '''Mccoy member''': Ow! This water is hard!

** The absolutely abysmal state of Rome when Time Squad arrives, especially considering this episode takes place during Caesar's reign in 46 B.C, which is widely considered to be part of the city's golden age. The legionaires are so pathetically weak Tuddrussel can just smack the weapons out of their hands, the lions in the Colosseum are emaciated and half-dead, and the infrastructure is so run down that Tuddrussel makes the whole arena collapse just by punching a wall.
--> '''Larry''': Looks like Rome really ''was'' built in a day...
** During the montage where Time Squad is helping to bring Rome back to it's former glory, one scene has Otto show a group of scholars how a sun dial works... by pushing it out of the shade it was left in and into the sunlight. One of the scholars gives himself a FacePalm for overlooking something so obvious.
** The fact that Julius Caesar, one of the most famous statesmen in history, is portrayed as a pasty, whiny, incompetent ManChild. Which is of course part of the joke. His nasally, nerdy voice doesn' help.

* When the Founding Fathers are trying to write the Declaration of Independence and John Adams tries to ''[[UnwantedAssistance help]]'' by shouting random words. "You're no help, Adams!"
** Tuddrussel and Larry's attempts to get by without Otto's help. Tuddressel's first plan is to break into the founding father's hiding place and beat the living shit out of them, and then leaves saying "Now you all get right with history," and they respond "What was that all about?" after he leaves. Their next plan consists of helping Benjamin Franklin invent the light-bulb, and talking to Otto and finding out exactly what is wrong with Ben Franklin, they break into his house, break the light-bulb and stuff him and sack and bring him to the rest of the founding fathers, whose reaction to seeing Tuddrussel is "Ah, it's the maniac!"
** Otto had to be left at home due to a nasty cold (he forgot to bring a jacket when they had to convince UsefulNotes/KarlMarx to write the Communis Manifest instead of building the worlds biggest igloo), and Tuddrussel and Larry are predictably helpless without him. As mentioned above, they have no idea what the problem is, Tuddrussel didn't actually tell any of the Founders why he assaulted them, they helped Franklin invent the lightbulb because they confused him with UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison, and even when Otto outright spells it out for them, that The Founders can't finish the Declaration of Independence without Franklin, Tuddrussel butts in again because he didn't like Franklins pitch of "self-evident". Only Larry bringing Otto with him, leading the Founders through the iconic opening line of the Declaration of Independence, fixes the mission.

--> '''Otto Osworth''': But what about Pasteurizing milk?
--> '''Louis Pasteur''': Pfft-BORING! The only thing more boring was curing rabies.

* "Ex Marks the Spot" involves Time Squad arriving at Johannes Gutenberg's printing shop, only to discover that Joan Of Arc has somehow ended up there. Joan is so frustrated with the typesetting machine that her temper causes her to throw equipment out the window and hit an unsuspecting Larry in the face. When Otto ponders where Gutenberg has ended up, we find out that he has switched places with Arc, and is doing an abysmal job at leading the French army, and being more concerned with the font and design of his war maps than the state of the army, which is suffering a serious beatdown. Despite feeling sorry for the poor French soldiers, one can't help but laugh at their AmusingInjuries, including one guy who has a battle ax sticking out of his head.

--> ''Otto sees that he'll only grow a few inches taller one day''
--> '''Otto''': Hey, wait a minute! Is this as big as I get?!
--> '''Elderly!Otto''': You'll never make the All-Star Basketball team, that's for sure. Heh Heh!

-->'''Tuddrussell'': Aw, I'm sorry. I want you to have a happy birthday. ''(puts a hand on Larry's shoulder)'': I love you, buddy.
-->'''Larry''' ''(sniffles)'': Really?
-->'''Tuddrussell''' ''(cracks up)'': No! ''(walks away as Larry continues sobbing)''

--> '''Tuddrussel''': The glitter makes it spicy!

--> '''Clown''': *honks horn sadly*
--> '''Capone''': Well you better learn to like it, ''OR THE ONLY BIG SHOES YOU'LL BE WEARING WILL BE FILLED WITH CEMENT!!''
** Hoo-Hoo, the birthday clown who performed at Capone's tenth birthday party is so bad at his job it borders on BlackComedy. Flashback to a young Capone being "entertained" by a slovenly asshole in patchy clown-paint and an ill=fitting costume.
--> '''Capone''': Hoo-Hoo was a deadbeat through and through *Hoo-Hoo proceeds to try and inflate a balloon, runs out of breath halfway through, ties it into a random mess of knots which immediately deflates and eats young Capone's birthday cake--''with the lit birthday candle still on it''*

--->'''Larry:'''Oh, just think of all the software I'll never get the chance to download. (turns to Otto) Well, at least you've lead a full life.

--> '''Sister Thornly:''' That sounds like sightseeing racket!

** And yet another: the trio takes Poe to a forest that was destroyed by a fire. Instead of becoming depressed again as they'd hoped, he starts traipsing about, putting party hats on all the burnt animals. "Here you go, crispy moose! It's party time!"

** Otto had to be left at home due to a nasty cold (he forgot to bring a jacket when they had to convince UsefulNotes/KarlMarx to write the Communis Manifest instead of building the worlds biggest igloo), and Tuddrussel and Larry are predictably helpless without him. As mentioned above, they have no idea what the problem is, Tuddrussel didn't actually tell any of the Founders why he assaulted them, they helped Franklin invent the lightbulb because they confused him with UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison, and even when Otto outright spells it out for them, that The Founders can't finish the Declaration of Independence without Franklin, Tuddrussel butts in again because he didn't Franklins pitch of "self-evident". Only Larry bringing Otto with him, leading the Founders through the iconic opening line of the Declaration of Independence, fixes the mission.

* One of the best moments is when the Squad goes back to find Edgar Allan Poe, who has turned into TastesLikeDiabetes Incarnate. After he reads them "The Bear" (the kid-friendly version of ''The Raven''), and it is the most cheesy, schmaltzy, SugarBowl thing ever written, and after he finishes, the stunned, shocked, and even ''horrified'' looks on the Squads faces are absolutely the pinnacle of hilarity for this show. What makes it better is Tuddrussell's delayed JawDrop.

** The moments where Larry is short-circuiting and changing his personality are nothing short of hilarious, especially when Otto and Tuddrussel are visibly embarrassed or horrified, like when Larry scandalizes the French crowd at Pasteur's party by shouting, "I'M THE QUEEN OF FRANCE!" and singing the French National Anthem while wearing a table cloth as a cape, sausage links as a sash and a punchbowl and fruit combo for a crown.

** The aforementioned episode was also shown a little blooper that was seen on “Cartoon Network’s Funniest Bloopers and Other Embarrassing Moments.” [[https://youtu.be/ZWD5RF0lruQ]]

* An off-screen moment of funny happens in the episode where Otto gets sick and can't help the others to deal with Ben Franklin quitting politics ("Floundering Fathers").

* From "Child's Play": Larry thinking the greatest writers in history are Danielle Steele (who writes women's mysteries) and Creator/JackieCollins (who writes [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sleazy, almost soap-operaish novels about celebrities -- a lot of which are based on real-life ones -- being naughty, whether it's committing murder or having hot, naked affairs with other people]]).

** Tuddrussel getting into a fight with one of the colonial hippies about whether or not a Rock N Roll rendition of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" is "far out" or "stinks". This happens in the background while Ross is talking about how the commune is all about peace and love.

* One episode involves Time Squad arriving at Johannes Gutenberg's printing shop, only to discover that Joan Of Arc has somehow ended up there.
