1* Toad trying to purchase booze without an ID. First he asks an older gentleman to buy the liquor for him, but the man buys wine instead. Then he tries to [[BreadMilkEggsSquick order the booze casually between a bunch of other items]], but the clerk doesn’t fall for it. Finally he asks one more man to get him the bottle, which the man does… by robbing the store, prompting the clerk to chase him while firing his gun.
2** Also, his attempt to race with another kid coming out of a red light. And his exchange with the fast-talking, ultra-high-pressure used car salesman.
3** After he accidentally shifts into reverse and backs into the car behind him during the aforementioned race attempt:
4--->'''Man:''' Excuse me, but I think we've had an accident.
5--->'''Toad:''' Well, goddammit, I won't report you this time, but next time just watch it, will ya? ''[drives off]''
6* Steve baiting the [[DeanBitterman jerkass principal]] into suspending him at the school dance, then reminding him that he already graduated months ago.
7* Curt nervously chatting with the arcade owners while the Pharaohs clean out the money from the machines.
8-->'''Owner:''' Goodbye, Curt. I want to tell you I hope you'll be taking along a little piece of this place.
9-->'''Curt:''' I think I have.
10* Carol's attempt to insult Bob Falfa goes wrong:
11-->"YOUR CAR'S UGLIER THAN I AM! ''[to John]'' [[ThatCameOutWrong That didn't come out right.]]"
12* Bob Falfa singing "Some Enchanted Evening" from ''Theatre/SouthPacific'' to Laurie. The fact that it's Creator/HarrisonFord singing makes it even funnier.
