11	[[folder:Season 1]]
12	* ''A Hero Is Born'':
13	** Demon Bull King goes out with Red Son in order to gather rare items in order to power him up. Their first target? [[MundaneMadeAwesome A sneaker shop]]. The unfortunate cashier isn't too aware that DBK is right in his store, and even when he does see him personally, he still tells him he and Red Son have to go to the back of the line. After that, DBK proceeds to absorb all the shoes in the store... While also getting some matching sneakers for both himself and Red Son, leading to the rather hilarious sight in the page image.
14	--->'''Demon Bull King:''' Do you know what's better than limited edition? One of a kind! ''(Proceeds to laugh as he and Red Son pose while wearing a set of sneakers)''
15	*** Special mention goes to when Mei shows the group posts that people have on social media about DBK being at the sneaker store... With SkewedPriorities summing their thoughts up well with two people excited that he's real, and one person being more bothered about the fact DBK cut them in line rather than his actual presence.
16	** Mei enthusiastically talks about how MK saved the city as [[DestructiveSaviour they sit in a crater of what was once part of a sprawling city]] as car alarms go off in the distance.
17	* Season 1, Episode 4 "Noodles of Death":
18	** After Pigsy is allured by a disguised Spider Queen, he claims that he's very interested in her "beautiful vegetables"... Only for Tang to see outright rotten vegetables, to which he responds to Pigsy with an incredulous "[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe ...Are you blind?]]"
19	** The heroes decide to use a vehicle to find Pigsy and Tang. Which one do they pick? ''Sandy's Speedboat'', the results being the heroes cause massive property damage due to using a boat on the streets. They frequently state [[LampshadeHanging they should have saved it for a water mission]].
20	* Season 1, Episode 5 "Calabash":
21	** MK gets trapped in a LotusEaterMachine by Jin and Yin. What's the one thing that weirds him out enough to start seeing [[AGlitchInTheMatrix the glitch in the matrix]]? [[LikeBrotherAndSister Mei]] being crazy in love with him.
22	** Jin and Yin look at their plan to remind themselves what to do next. [[MissingStepsPlan They didn't plan past Steps 1 and 2]].
23	** The moment when Jin and Yin introduce themselves to MK, they quickly begin arguing over who should be introduced first.
24	* Season 1, Episode 6 "The Great Wall Race":
25	** The fact that the Demon Bull King and Iron Fan entered the race purely to dunk on their son.
26	** During the race. Red Son starts to pull ahead of Demon Bull and Iron Fan.
27	---> '''Red Son''': (''laughing manically at his father'') My victory is assured! You're ''never'' going to make this turn!\
28	'''Bull King''': (''furious'') I turn for no one! (''proceeds to literally drive though a mountain'')
29	** A FreezeFrameBonus of Red Son's stats screen includes "Hotness" and "Daddy Issues"
30	** Later on, we see DBK is still driving through the mountain, rather enraged as Iron Fan mentions he had a rough history with mountains... Leading to him becoming even more enraged after remembering Monkey King sealing him under one, flooring it... Only to burn out their car's engine entirely, an anti-climatic fart coming from the mountain. A FreezeFrameBonus in Jin and Yin's camera shows [[NotSoStoic him on the ground crying as a result]].
31	* Season 1, Episode 7 "Impossible Delivery"
32	** The entirety of MK's training session in the episode's opening counts, with Monkey King telling MK that he needs to get better at focusing. After a brief back and forth, Monkey King boasts that he's the best at focusing only for MK to counter [[MythologyGag with a laundry list of evidence to the contrary]].
33	--->'''MK:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?!?]] Literally your ''entire legacy'' is about [[TheTrickster you being impulsive and dodging responsibilities!]]\
34	'''Monkey King:''' ''([[NotHelpingYourCase suddenly snacking on peach chips]])'' Mmm! That's where you're wrong!\
35	'''MK:''' ''(flatly)'' That time you ate all the immortal peaches you were meant to guard?\
36	'''Monkey King:''' [[NeverMyFault That was a long time ago.]]\
37	'''MK:''' When you kept annoying everyone in the celestial realm?\
38	'''Monkey King:''' That's a matter of opinion.\
39	'''MK:''' THE TIME YOU PICKED A FIGHT WITH BUDDH- ''(gets chip stuffed in mouth)''\
40	'''Monkey King:''' See, that right there is the problem: you stress too much about the negatives!
41	*** Monkey King's line immediately after is also worth a laugh.
42	---->'''Monkey King:''' Focus is taking in everything, but honing in only on the one thing that matters! Right now, I'm talking to you while also noting the speed of the wind, the moisture in the air, ''these thirty-seven emails from my lawyer'', the first eighteen seasons of "Monkey King: The Animated Series", and a resonance of my soul while I contemplate the fact that I am an immortal being '''''[[WhoWantsToLiveForever who will never be able to die...!]]''''' ...[[MoodWhiplash and that bug right over there!]]
43	** One of the distractions along MK's delivery route is a group of children who need an extra player for a soccer game. MK shouts that they just want to trick him into staying forever... and then drives off before the "children" drop their disguises.
44	--->'''Green Demon:''' [[RightForTheWrongReasons How do you think he knew we were going to imprison him forever?]]\
45	'''Red Demon:''' Who knows?
46	** MK finally arrives at his destination... to find that it's [[FailedASpotCheck Monkey King's temple]].
47	--->'''MK:''' Monkey King?! Wait... ''(gasp)'' [[SecretTestOfCharacter This was all a lesson to see if I could focus!]]\
48	'''Monkey King:''' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Uhhh... Yes!]] I wanted to teach you a valuable lesson! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I definitely didn't just order three helpings of noodles to my... shame temple]].
49	*** Just as MK's beginning to congratulate himself for learning how to focus, Monkey King informs him that [[ShaggyDogStory he brought the wrong order]].
50	* Season 1, Episode 8 ''Skeleton Key'':
51	** After the Mayor gives off an unhinged laugh and vanishes in a puff of smoke, Mei has this to say.
52	--->'''Mei''': Huh. You know, I'm starting to think... he's maybe not the Mayor.
53	** In the middle of their fun using the key to unlock all sorts of doors and prizes, MK realises the key can also be used to ''lock'' things as well, before going on about how [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility the responsibility such a power requires]] and how there is one thing they ''must'' do with it. Cut to Pigsy unable to get into his noodle shop, with a laughing MK and Mei having locked him out.
54	** Red Son ambushes MK and Mei at MK's house, complaining that he was waiting there for a while, and even complains about the state of MK's living area.
55	** After making his getaway in his armored vehicle, Red Son casually drives down the highway, ramming through any other cars and listening to relaxing music like a son finishing an errand rather than a prince of evil.
56	** While using his staff to catch up to Mei and Red Son, MK accidentally crashes between a couple having a moment, sheepishly apologising before flying off again. The man shouts it's fine, [[TemptingFate especially since no one was hurt...]] right before the ground collapses.
57	* Season 1, Episode 9 ''Macaque'':
58	** MK tries to take on the giant monkey monster at the beginning of the episode. He ends up in a crater in Yamcha's pose from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', then the camera cranes out to show Pigsy in said position as well.
59	** When Monkey King suspects that MK has been training with someone else, his reaction is to accuse MK [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything as if he'd just been cheated on]].
60	--->'''Monkey King:''' WHOA! How'd you learn to do that... ''(gasp)'' ''Have you been running around with other mentors!?''
61	[[/folder]]
62
63	[[folder:Season 2]]
64	* ''Revenge of the Spider Queen'':
65	** Red Son and his father have taken to running a food cart after the Demon Bull King's possession by Lady Bone Demon, but run into a few snags. Red Son's idea of the perfect culinary experience is to make the ''lowest'' level of spice "Very Hot", which results in numerous complaints. The other options on the list are "Boiling Lava" at the second-lowest, "Ripped DBK" in the middle, "Aussie Heat" being the second-highest (a BitingTheHandHumor as Flying Bark Productions are an Australian studio), and culminating in "INFERNO". Any complaints are usually invariably dealt with by the Demon Bull King intimidating the customer into zipping it. Red Son actually calls his father out on this, completely ignoring the chaos of the Spider Queen's robots attacking in the background until her mech blows away their store.
66	** In classic "minions jockeying for the boss's favor" fashion, Huntsman interrupts Syntax to give news to the Spider Queen himself... except its bad news, a thought that only seems to occur to him as he's saying it.
67	** DBK is in the room when one of the Spider Queen's goons mentions they have news about Red Son, and immediately scoffs about his "useless offspring." When they mention he actually escaped the attempt to capture him, he just as quickly claims he never doubted his son for a second while the art style changes to make him look much more handsome.
68	** When Mei stops Red Son from going off on his own in the Celestial Realm, he tries to dismiss her, only for her to bite his hand and refuse to let go, leading to [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Red Son frantically trying to swing her off]] as MK, Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy make their plans.
69	** Once they get the ingredients for Red Son's antidote, he hams it up as he begins adding them in a very villainous manner. Mei congratulates him on a good hero speech, much to his dismay.
70	---> '''Red Son''': ''[[InsistentTerminology Villain speech!]]''
71	** He also insists he has to add the ingredients in a precise order, despite only having two left. MK vanishing to throw them in himself is shown in a FreezeFrameBonus of him vanishing from the shot as Red Son's hand passes over him.
72	** When they return to the city, MK tells the Spider Queen to prepare to meet her doom (remember that he hates spiders). Red Son is impressed, telling him ''that's'' a hero speech.
73	** After the battle is over, Mei takes the opportunity to tell the Demon Bull King (or as she calls him, ''Daddy'' Bull King) that Red Son did pretty good hero work. Poor Red Son can only ask his father that they never mention this again to Princess Iron Fan and descends into pleased giggles when his father calls him "son".
74	* Season 2, Episode 1 ''Sleep Bug'':
75	** While exploring the town full of sleeping people, MK brings a sleeping Pigsy along with him in a cart, before leaving him behind to investigate the Cloud, only for the cart to start rolling down the hill. Near the end of the episode, Pigsy wakes up... [[BrickJoke right as the cart is about to run into a wall]].
76	** After being blown off by Syntax, MK is drawn in the art style of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' for a few seconds, fingers and all.
77	** The fact that MK gets permission to be in the Cloud by... [[MundaneSolution asking to put his name on the register]].
78	* Season 2, Episode 2 ''Dumpling Destruction'':
79	** The entire premise, in which MK and friends have to stop a ''mountain-sized dumpling'' from crashing into the earth... because Monkey King basically got into a ''food fight in the Celestial Realm''. It's ridiculous enough to come straight from the original ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.
80	** While MK is fighting the Huntsman, Tang searches for a weapon to use and it looks like he's [[BaitAndSwitch reaching for a monks staff... before grabbing]] a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Buster Sword instead]].
81	** MK and Tang briefly halt their attack to ask the Huntsman why he's even ''trying'' to stop them, given the meteor-sized dumpling is a threat to everyone. Spotting the relic he was after, he quickly swipes that and [[SureLetsGoWithThat 'agrees to a truce']] before deciding to slip off, to their shock.
82	--->'''MK''': What kind of villain are you?
83	* Season 2, Episode 3 ''Pig Pong'':
84	** Sun Wukong sends MK a package with a note saying that he'll come to pick it up later and that MK can't open it under any circumstances. The letter then adds that there is no way MK won't do that, so he's sent a training blindfold along with it to distract him.
85	** Once again, the entire premise. MK gets sent a training blindfold which won't come off unless he learns to truly listen, while Pigsy gets rid of the arcade machine and somehow orders a ping-pong table to replace it...which turns out to be a ''very'' bad thing since he's addicted to ping-pong and ends up playing a blind MK in a ping-pong game that wouldn't be out of place in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.
86	** After MK manages to snap Pigsy out of his ping pong craze, Tang asks if anyone is going to clean up the ruined street. Everyone immediately decides to go visit Sandy.
87	* Season 2, Episode 4 "Sweet & Sour":
88	** For the Food Wars competition, turns out that some special judges were recruited for the event. Tang, Lady Iron Fan... And Monkey King. Or rather, a [[CardboardPal cardboard cutout of him]] with a recorder spewing random clips of stuff he said throughout the show. And during the judging section for the food, it ends up faceplanting into Pigsy's dish, netting a vote for them.
89	** During the first part of the Food Wars, a test of delivery services, MK seems to be doing quite well... At least until the Speedy Panda drivers all gang up on him much to his horror, as he's quickly wiped out and knocked into the [[Anime/DragonBallZ Yamcha pose]].
90	* Season 2, Episode 5 ''Minor Scale'':
91	** MK figures out astral projection and contacts Monkey King at the most inopportune moment - when he's trying not to get crushed by a spiky piledriver. But due to the limited view the two have of each other while communicating this way, MK [[PoorCommunicationKills assumes Monkey King's still on a relaxing vacation]]. Also, MK boasts that he had "only five [[PsychicNosebleed nosebleeds]]" when learning the skill for himself.
92	** In the same scene, Monkey King attempts to distract MK with more training, [[TemptingFate suggesting that he work on something like shrinking his staff.]]
93	--->'''MK''': Oh, you mean like ''THIS?''\
94	''(MK brings out a shrunken version of the staff, and spins it in the air between his hands)''\
95	'''Monkey King''': OKAY, SMART GUY! SHRINK ''YOURSELF'' THEN!
96	*** To be specific, MK does [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Aang's marble trick]] with the staff.
97	** Pigsy is having MK clean the restaurant because of a special guest coming, a food critic called Golden Cicada Yum Yum... who turns out to be ''Tang'', to Pigsy's shock. And near the end of the episode, after Tang posts a bad review because of MK's poor hygiene, Pigsy's anger at MK is quickly replaced by a new target when he notices something about Tang's website.
98	--->'''Pigsy''': Wait a minute, ''this'' is your site? It only has ''one'' follower. And that follower's name is... [[SuddenlyShouting TANG]]!\
99	'''Tang''': ''([[OhCrap realizes he's been found out]])'' Haha, I mean I'm just starting. You were my inaugural review.\
100	'''Pigsy''': ''(pulls out a rolling pin)'' And your last! ''(chases a fleeing Tang)'' Get back here you freeloading coward!\
101	''(BigBallOfViolence)''\
102	'''Tang''': AH! No, Pigsy! Have mercy!
103	* Season 2, Episode 6 ''Game On''
104	** MK skipping the tutorial of the game, which constantly offers to teach him how to counter. It's only after 36 hours of failed attempts on the final boss, that he thinks that maybe the game is trying to tell him something. Mei snarking about it even adds to it.
105	* Season 2, Episode 7 ''Shadow Play''
106	** MK leaves right before the Shadow Play begins, avoiding the same fate as his friends... because he forgot to get snacks, to Pigsy's annoyance. At the end of the episode, after Pigsy demands to know what happened, he agrees to explain... [[BrickJoke after getting some snacks first]].
107	** Macaque teasing MK about missing that it was him behind the shadow play and his friends disappearing, noting that [[CastingAShadow shadows are his whole gimmick]].
108	** While mocking MK for having unknowingly vented his deepest insecurities to him, Macaque says that it's good to let it all out sometimes, before adding as an aside that he should probably do that himself, but doing so would take all day.
109	** At their conversation near the end, MK lands a comeback that Macaque admits is ActuallyPrettyFunny.
110	---> '''Macaque''': You know, I meant what I said. You really are a good kid. A good kid with a ''really'' terrible teacher.\
111	'''MK''': I thought ''you'' were my teacher.\
112	'''Macaque''': Tsohohohoho! ''Owch!''
113	* Season 2, Episode 8 ''To Catch a Leaf''
114	** To cure MK's explosive hiccups, the group needs to find a ginseng flower, which only blooms under a crimson moon. Conveniently enough that's tonight.
115	--->'''Sandy:''' [[LampshadeHanging By the gods of plot convenience!]]
116	** When Sandy asks who is going to get the ginseng flower, Tang and Pigsy both briefly look at each other before looking toward Sandy.
117	--->'''Sandy:''' What? No, no, no, no. I'm strictly a water adventure kind of guy.\
118	'''Tang:''' MK's life is at stake!\
119	'''Sandy:''' ''(his eyes as stars)'' I'll do it, for my friends!
120	** At the end of the episode, MK is finally cured of his hiccups and immediately reckons he could go for some more of the cursed beef balls that gave him said hiccups. Mei promptly beans him in the face with a glass.
121	* Season 2, Episode 9 ''72 Transformations''
122	** MK apparently called the others to the roof of Pigsy's Noodles at 3 am to reveal that he has started learning Monkey Kings 72 transformations... starting with manifesting a pug for a hand, [[CutenessProximity which Mei joins him gushing over]]. Some prompting from Pigsy reveals his other hand turned into a mop, [[PowerIncontinence and he is unable to change either back]].
123	*** [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Tang can be seen]] [[VomitIndiscretionShot silently vomiting]] at the sight of MK’s mop hand. Later when MK (seemingly) accidentally transforms both hands into puppies in front of the Spiders, Syntax has the same reaction.
124	*** At the end of the episode Mei is dismayed to discover his hand isn't a puppy anymore.
125	** After transforming into a spider for the first time. MK refers to his own webbing as "butt robe". Which both terrifies and grosses him out at the same time.
126	---> '''MK''': This is so gross! ''I'm'' so gross...
127	* Season 2, Episode 10 ''This is the End''
128	** After MK starts his reveal about the Lady Bone Demon with him meeting a girl, the others instantly [[ShipperOnDeck jump to the wrong conclusion]].
129	--->'''MK''': NOT LIKE THAT!
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:Season 3]]
133	* Episode 1 ''On the Run''
134	** The episode has a recap of the events of the Season 2 finale, narrated by Tang, and a view of MK staring into the distance on their airship. The camera moves and it's revealed that Tang is narrating out loud, and Pigsy complains he's been doing so all day.
135	** Monkey King's attempts at [[MrExposition explaining the Samadhi Fire]] are interrupted by a giddy Tang, to the point where he just lets the man explain.
136	** MK attempts to imitate Monkey King's BondOneLiner from his confrontation with Ne Zha when fighting Macaque, but instead says "you can't make an omelet without breaking a few engines". Everyone stares at him in confusion, including ''Macaque'', who gives a FlatWhat.
137	* Episode 2 ''Great Grand Dragon of the East'':
138	** After being brought into the Dragon of the East's palace as his distant niece, Mei is put in a beautiful formal gown by his royal attendant...which she promptly puts a hole into as a way to carry her sword. When said attendant tries to remove the sword from her, Mei locks her in a closet and uses a pretty green ribbon to keep it closed.
139	** The palace guards fail to keep an eye on Sandy or Mei because they get too distracted petting Mo, and are easily taken out by both once they actually realize they're trying to escape.
140	** While all that is happening, the rest of the gang are locked in the Dragon of the East's dungeon, and Pigsy attempts to tunnel them out through the stone wall...with a spoon.
141	* Episode 3 ''Smartie Kid'':
142	** The entire episode manages to be this thanks to MK's attempt to become "the smart one" of the team to compensate for losing his powers (a role already filled by Tang, mind), demonstrating a comically poor understanding of math as well as a weird [[RunningGag fixation on triangles]].
143	** To try to cool down the others from the heat, Sandy attempts to open the window for some fresh air... and gets blasted in the face by fire!
144	** Everyone is aghast when it looks like MK is about to wager the map... only to grow enraged once he decides to [[BaitAndSwitch wager]] ''[[BaitAndSwitch them]]'' [[BaitAndSwitch instead]].
145	* Episode 5 ''Amnesia Rules'':
146	** Monkey King gets amnesia due to Pigsy forcibly waking from meditation with a very spicy pepper (that he just happens to carry around with him in his pocket) and reverts to his younger self from when he was still on his journey west with his companions, whom he believes to be Tang, Pigsy, and Mo (yes, the cat). Needless to say, Tang and Pigsy are quickly exasperated by his young personality.
147	--->'''Tang:''' Uh, uh, hey, just so we're clear. Eating me won't make you immortal.\
148	'''Monkey King:''' Of course it will! He's the Great Monk Tang Sanzang!\
149	'''Tang:''' Ignore him. It's the pepper talking.
150	** A OnceASeason tradition: ''[[CoolCat Mo]]'' [[RuleOfThree being in the Yamcha Pose]] after being dropped by the Monkey King. While Wukong is proclaiming him to be Sha Wujing (the character Yamcha acted as a parallel for).
151	** After Tang is taken by Scorpion Queen, the amnesic Monkey King begins looking around a random field, to Pigsy's annoyance. Monkey King eventually explains that he's trying to get info on the demon by looking for one of the local Tudi.
152	--->'''Pigsy:''' The local what now?
153	* Episode 6 ''The First Ring'':
154	** Red Son brings MK, Mei, and Sandy over for food and water at his family's fortress after saving them in the desert and isn't able to get them out before his parents get home for their planned family dinner, which is just as awkward as you can imagine.
155	---> '''Demon Bull King:''' ''[[CallBack The little thief returns]].''\
156	'''MK:''' (''chuckles nervously'') Yooooo, [[FreudianSlip Daddy -- Uh, I mean, Demon Daddy]] -- I mean, ''Mr. Bull King, Sir!'' We -- we still cool, right? \
157	'''Red Son:''' Father. You're back earlier than I expected.\
158	'''Princess Iron Fan:''' I was expecting a banquet. I wasn't expecting company.\
159	''(MK laughs.)''\
160	'''Sandy:''' [[LampshadeHanging This is so awkward.]]\
161	'''Mei:''' Uh-huh.
162	** Red Son does a SpitTake when told the reason why the three were even in the desert in the first place, with his parents having the exact same reaction moments later.
163	** When Iron Fan reveals to MK, Mei, and Sandy that the Samadhi Fire came from Red Son, MK and Mei respond with a BigWhat, while Sandy just replies with a very serious "''Okay… following…''"
164	** Red Son asks if the gang needs anything else after putting them to bed, MK responding he'd like an extra blanket, to which Red Son sarcastically asks if he'd also want warm milk with it like a child would -- which MK says would be swell.
165	*** Later, when catching Mei and Sandy trying to break into his garage, it shows that Red Son really did go to get both of those things.
166	* Episode 7 '' Cooking with Chang'e'':
167	** Money King can't attack the rabbit bots guarding Chang'e's lunar base... because he finds them [[CutenessProximity too cute]].
168	* Episode 8 ''Benched'':
169	** As MK is putting together everyone's roles for the performance, Monkey King uncharacteristically pushes away a lead role while sarcastically citing stage fright. He then pulls MK aside and reveals that, no, ''[[PerformanceAnxiety he actually wasn't kidding]]''.
170	--->'''Monkey King:''' You know how I said the whole "stage fright" thing as kind of a joke?\
171	'''MK:''' Wasn't a joke?\
172	'''Monkey King:''' Nnnnnot even a little bit.\
173	'''MK:''' Uh, Sun Wukong, [[BlasphemousBoast self-proclaimed "Great Sage, Equal to Heaven"]], ''is scared to perform in front of a crowd!?''\
174	'''Monkey King:''' I know, ''I know'', [[LampshadeHanging it doesn't make any sense!]]
175	** Just before that, everyone else's reactions to MK assigning them their roles and instruments.
176	---> '''MK''': Pigsy will sing. (''literally throws a mike at Pigsy, which hits him in the face'') I'll play the "[[BuffySpeak bang-bangs]]" (''drums''). Sandy, you're on bass, obviously. (''hands Sandy a Shamisan, which the ladder happily accepts'')\
177	'''Sandy''': I mean, obviously.\
178	'''MK''': Mei, you get this thing (''a Guzheng'') with way too many strings.\
179	'''Mei''': Cool!
180	* Episode 11 ''This Imperfect World''
181	** While the whole scene is itself extremely serious, it's kinda funny to see Lady Bone Demon very confident in her ability to go toe-to-toe with Monkey King, even mocking him about it -- only to spend the rest of the episode getting pretty badly clobbered by him to the point he almost wins.
182	** Red Son and Mei's interactions during their fire training provide some much-needed levity, especially since they BOTH see the irony of the former teaching the values of meditation and keeping a cool head.
183	---> '''Red Son''': All you need to do is stay calm and focused. So, no more angry outbursts!\
184	'''Mei''': Pffft, rich coming from you.\
185	'''Red Son''': (''becomes sheepish for a moment, before sighing'') ...Do as I say, not as I do.
186	* Episode 13 ''Time To Be Warriors'':
187	** It's shown that after bringing them The Mayor, Macaque is put into "time out" and tied up like the former, with MK telling Sandy to spin him around when he tries to cut into the team's conversation. It's extra funny when he reveals [[PlayAlongPrisoner he could have freed himself at any time]] and only did so then for the dramatic flair.
188	--->'''Pigsy:''' What?! You could have freed yourself this whole time?!\
189	'''Macaque:''' What can I say? I'm dramatic.
190	*** Also, Sandy calls Macaque "Mister Maqauck" while picking the shadow monkey up by his head, before patting him when turning him.
191	** In this same episode, Porty MK Clone makes a reappearance to purely be a hype man for the final battle...but promptly dips when the ghostly versions of the Spider Demons appear guarding Mei's imprisonment.
192	* Episode 14 ''Destiny Fulfilled'':
193	** MK makes his big hero speech to Lady Bone Demon when he finally makes it to his staff, about how he will take it to protect the world no matter if the universe wants him to fail or not...then immediately finds out he is unable to lift it up.
194	** Even though the former pulls a HeelFaceTurn, Macaque and Monkey King still have way too much bitter history between them to even begin getting along again...though MK is quick to point out a reason for this may be just how similar they really are to each other.
195	--->'''MK, while Macaque and Monkey King are growling at each other:''' [[NotSoDifferentRemark Uh, you know you two are the same, right?]]\
196	'''Monkey King/Macaque:''' ''[[IResembleThatRemark I'M NOTHING LIKE HIM!!]]''
197	*** Just the fact that Monkey King spells the word dead as, D-E-D.
198	[[/folder]]
199
200	[[folder:Season 4]]
201	* ''Familiar Tales''
202	** Jin and Yin try and attack the city using a bunch of artifacts they somehow managed to get their hands on -- a bunch of which actually belong to Ne Zha.
203	*** Also, they have Monkey King's cardboard cutout from Season 2.
204	** The chat in Mei's livestream includes Pigsy telling MK to get back to work, an automated message from Monkey King, and even Red Son noting MK clearly hiding some feelings.
205	*** Also, in a Meta move, several of the commenters are some of the show's crew members.
206	** As MK rides off to deliver the recovered artifacts to Monkey King for safekeeping, Pigsy irately remarks he's not even ''pretending'' to deliver noodles anymore.
207	** Monkey King informs MK that at his age, he was rather hard to get along with, to his protege's sincere surprise.
208	* ''New Adventures''
209	** Monkey King retelling the events of his "Havoc in Heaven" to his sworn brothers, namely how he told off the Jade Emperor for making him a lowly stable hand and declaring he was officially done with the Celestial Realm, finishing his story by dropping a banana like a microphone.
210	---> '''Monkey King''': Monkey King out!
211	** Shortly after Azure vanquishes the ink versions of his former comrades, MK and Mei claim the scroll, leading to the following exchange.
212	---> '''Azure Lion''': Hand over the scroll, children.\
213	'''MK''': No, ''YOU'' hand over the scroll! (''Said while using the scroll to point at Azure Lion'')\
214	'''Mei''': (''Whispering to MK'') We've got the scroll.\
215	'''MK''': ''WE'VE'' GOT THE SCROLL!
216	** Azure Lion gloriously introduces himself to MK and Mei with the expectation they already know who he is...only to see they haven't heard of him.
217	* ''The Great Tang Man''
218	** When arriving in the past of the scroll, MK tries to buy a souvenir from a vendor who once again looks exactly like the Shoe Store Guy, and upon seeing MK's modern items yells to the nearby guards that he has "demonic" accessories.
219	** Azure Lion picks up some time-appropriate clothes for MK and Mei (from a trash pile), and they start changing right in front of him to his disgust.
220	---> '''Azure''': (''cringing as he turns away from the pair'') At least wait till I turn around first!
221	** When Mei realizes that they're basically trapped in ''Journey to the West'', she asks MK what chapter they're possibly on. Turns out that MK only [[JustHereForGodzilla read the chapters that had Monkey King in them]].
222	** The Ghost Grandpa is a sweet, clumsy old man, but his continued presence in Liu and his wife's home has caused them no end of disturbance, including accidentally walking in on his daughter-in-law while in the bathroom.
223	** At the end of the episode, Tang casts the spell to allow him, Mei, and MK to travel through the chapters and locate their friends, excitedly shouting out "Here Comes Monkie Tang!"...before they wind up in a lava-filled landscape and start screaming in terror before the credits roll.
224	* ''Pig Napped!''
225	** With Tang's lack of magical know-how causing him, Mei, and MK to teleport around haphazardly, they end up in an alligator swamp where Tang is almost eaten (read: [[WrestlerInAllOfUs absolutely wrestled]]) by an alligator while cutting back to Mei and MK clutching each other and screaming in terror -- then suddenly the alligator itself joins them, with all of them screaming at each other after a pause.
226	** Tang complains about a snake biting into his arm since the chapter where they met some snake women that tried to eat him, with Mei simply responding he "just looks so sweet".
227	** MK makes disguises out of the muck for him and Mei to blend in with the demon inhabitants lining up for Zhu Ganglies monk-soup, and Mei thanks him for not using his 72 Transformations so she could be included. MK goes along with it, realizing he once again, forgot about the powers that he can use in these specific situations.
228	** When Pigsy is woken up from inside his past life Zhu Bajie, he immediately apologizes to Tang for attempting to cook him...badly.
229	* ''The Court of the Yellow Robed Demon''
230	** After a TeleportationMisfire separates the group, while Mei finds herself being captured, and Pigsy in an unknown desolate land, Tang warps into a rather pleasant-looking forest with a river, with several women spotting him, some pregnant, and some with babies... As one of them offers water up to Tang. As he soon realizes it's the Mother-Child River[[labelnote:*]][[MysticalPregnancy Drinking the water makes you pregnant.]] [[MrSeahorse Yes, even if you are a man.]][[/labelnote]], ''screaming'' as he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere immediately warps away.]]
231	** When Kui Mulang begins to explain his tragic backstory, completely unprompted, Mei tries to awkwardly back out of frame and express her disinterest as a little chibi version of herself.
232	** ''[[{{Adorkable}} Ao]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Lie]]''. There's a good reason why he is one of the [[CreatorsFavorite creator's favorites]] despite this being his first (and only, by far) major appearance.
233	*** Given TheReveal that he’s indeed Mei’s ancestor by the end of the episode, their interactions throughout can be seen as a grandfather making jokes that annoy or embarrass his granddaughter.
234	** Later on, we see Tang rapidly teleporting around and trying to find the others, he's rapidly thrown into more dangerous situations, such as returning to the alligator swamp, and nearly getting caught in a fight between Ne Zha and Ao Bing. And at one point, he ends up in a throne room of some sort, looking inside... and realizing he's in the presence of the ''Lady Bone Demon'' who notices him, as he's quick to immediately warp away for his life.
235	* ''Show Me The Monster''
236	** When MK asks to see Master Subodhi at the Temple of the Tilted Moon and Three Stars, two students that look like your typical school bullies attempt to accost him as a presumed newbie. [[BullyingADragon It doesn't end well for them.]]
237	---> '''Student #1:''' You really think you're worthy of meeting the master on your first day?\
238	'''Student #2:''' No one has ever seen the Shifu Subodhi in fifty years.\
239	'''MK:''' FIFTY YEARS?! I gotta see him now!\
240	'''Student #2:''' Then just try it, headband! Between us, we've nearly learned TWO of the Seventy-two transformations!\
241	'''MK:''' ''(Sarcastically)'' ''Wowww.'' Two, huh? Alright, well, maybe I can give you a few pointers on the OTHER SEVENTY! ''(turns into a gorilla, Acolyte slides out of frame [[OhCrap as the two students gape at MK]])''
242	* ''The Roast of the Monkie Kids''
243	** Master Subodhi harshly grills each of MK's team for their faults...except Sandy, who swiftly becomes his TeachersPet and gets showered in star stickers, much to the annoyance of the others. In fact, the only thing Subodhi can find wrong with him is that he's ''too'' nice.
244	*** On the other hand, Mei receives no stars even when everyone else gets at least one throughout their training.
245	* ''The Jade Emperor''
246	** In order to help him overcome his current crisis, Macaque makes MK play his own version of Monkey King’s VR game from Season 2 -- which comes off as a cheesy bootleg, complete with Macaque's personal sprite drawings that [[HiddenDepths are drawn in a juvenile anime style]]. It's as cringey as it is hilarious.
247	** Moreover, once MK derides Macaque's game for bringing him back to the same bad ending no matter what choice the game gives him, Macaque chimes in how that was the whole point of the lesson. MK is not impressed.
248	---> '''MK:''' ''(Sarcastically)'' Ohhh, Thanks Macaque! You went through more effort than usual to make me feel like dirty-dirt-dirt! ''(Clapping)'' Good job! Round of applause!
249	* ''A Lifetime Of Mistakes''
250	** What "magic" do Tang and Sandy use to fix the broken Scroll of Memory trapping Monkey King? The magic of... tape.
251	*** Ne Zha's angry outburst at Tang, for thinking such a MundaneSolution would work. The best part is, it actually ''does.''
252	** Macaque's growing confusion as he and MK encounter the monkeys who had been trapped in the Scroll since "Familiar Tales", who all ignore MK in favor of happily clinging onto the broody shadow monkey.
253	---> '''Macaque''': How many of these little guys are in here?\
254	'''MK''': I dunno, a barrel's worth?
255	** When MK expresses confusion at how anyone could possibly get angry at Monkey King when watching his innocent earliest memories, Macaque bluntly tells him that this is only the first chapter of Journey to the West. The fact that MK doesn’t even get the reference of Monkey King jumping through the waterfall to ''become'' the Monkey King hammers home that he really just hasn’t read the book properly at all.
256	*** This can also be a fourth-wall-breaking jab toward fans of the show who don’t do their research into the Journey To The West and make assumptions based solely off this animated spinoff alone.
257	** Upon finding a memory of Young Macaque and Monkey King, MK overhears the [[AffectionateNickname latter calling the former "bud"]] and reacts accordingly.
258	---> '''MK:''' ''(Laughs)'' "Bud"?\
259	''(Baby monkey on Macaque's head stretches out his frown into a smile)''
260	* ''The Plan Man''
261	** Ne Zha is a CommanderContrarian for the whole planning session (given he can't do much else in his beaten-up state), and gets crayons tossed at him by Monkey King for his snarkiness, one moment of which gives him the season's [[RunningGag Yamcha pose]]. Monkey King also uses the crayons (which seem to be his own brand) as threats for anyone else who talks back during his "class".
262	---> '''Monkey King''': I got the crayon, I do the sayon!
263	** On the drawn plan to convince Yellowtusk out of fighting, Azure is drawn with a [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Badness Level]].
264	** When Pigsy expresses annoyance that MK and Mei got magic armor before he and the others did, Mei does an impression of Shifu Subodhi telling him he needs to earn it, and would if he hadn't lost his weapon to Yellowtusk. Pigsy almost agrees before doing a double take.
265	* ''Rip and Tear''
266	** The [[HumongousMecha Monkey Mech]] finally returns this season, [[SoLastSeason only to get promptly torn apart and destroyed...]] Which reveals the whole thing was a distraction. With [[GodKing Azure]] being attacked by... Porty MK, and the talking cardboard cutout of Monkey King. Who attack him with a bomb attached to a... banana, which actually works! Also counts as an [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments awesome]] moment.
267	---> '''Azure''': I ''hate'' Monkey's.
268	* ''Better Than We found It''
269	** After the day has been saved once again. The Monkie Kids finally have that beach day, along with the Demon Bull Family. Highlights include Monkey King and DBK fishing together. As well as MK and Mei playing a round of volleyball with Red Son and Iron Fan.
