| 13 | [[folder:The Video Games]] |
| 14 | |
| 15 | [[AC:General]] |
| 16 | * Anything involving a [[DropTheCow cow]] deserves special mention (particularly the second game's ending.) |
| 17 | * The Bob the Killer Goldfish [[AnticlimaxBoss "boss battles"]] in both games. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | [[AC:Earthworm Jim]] |
| 20 | * In the first level, New Junk City, you have to launch a cow with a seesaw to proceed. The game feels the need to display "COW LAUNCHED" when you do it. |
| 21 | * When you kill a lawyer in What the Heck?, they shout out "I'LL SUE!" |
| 22 | * After an excruciatingly difficult EscortMission in which Peter Puppy kicks your ass every time he's hurt, when you finally deliver him to his home, he happily waves goodbye to you. |
| 23 | * The ending of the first game; Jim makes it to Princess What's-Her-Name, she puckers up to grant a SmoochOfVictory, and the cow you sent flying up at the beginning of the game lands on her, knocking them both into a river/pit of slime. Jim mopes for a moment... then grabs her crown and happily wanders off. |
| 24 | ** ''Special Edition'' adds an extended animation for Jim, pretty much turning him into the wolf from ''WesternAnimation/RedHotRidingHood'' as he howls, does an EyePop, and hits his head with a mallet repeatedly. |
| 25 | ** ''Special Edition'''s {{Easy Mode|Mockery}} ending: A long, scrolling fact dump about earthworm biology, with the guy reading the text scroll (Doug [=TenNapel=]) not really bothering to keep up with the text and ad-libbing LittleKnownFacts. |
| 26 | --->''Uh, link in food chains (and some), BlahBlahBlah, this is going--! so fast.'' |
| 27 | |
| 28 | [[AC:Earthworm Jim 2]] |
| 29 | * "Well done." [[HeliumSpeech "Well done!"]] "Well done." |
| 30 | * When you complete a level, Jim will set up a see-saw that will launch him into the next one. Sometimes, the anvil he throws will [[AnvilOnHead land on him instead]]. Other times, the anvil will break the plank, and Jim has to call a taxi. Then, there are times where the taxi passes Jim by, and he must chase after it. |
| 31 | * Facing Bob the Killer Goldfish at the end of "Anything But Tangerines". The barriers are opened to reveal Bob in his fishbowl and the word "FIGHT!" flashes on screen. [[ZeroEffortBoss Jim then reaches into the bowl and eats Bob]]. |
| 32 | * The quiz show portion of Villi People/Jim is Now a Blind Cave Salamander, with its hilarious MoonLogicPuzzle questions. |
| 33 | ** ''What day is Jim's birthday?'' |
| 34 | --->A) The day he was born\ |
| 35 | B) June 9, 1994\ |
| 36 | C) Today if you have a present[[note]]The answer is B, the release date of the first game[[/note]] |
| 37 | ** ''How does Jim spell his first name?'' |
| 38 | --->A) Jmi\ |
| 39 | B) Mij\ |
| 40 | C) Ijm[[note]]The answer is B; Jim is dyslexic[[/note]] |
| 41 | ** ''Can you rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time?'' |
| 42 | --->A) Yes\ |
| 43 | B) No\ |
| 44 | C) Yes, but Simon didn't say[[note]]The answer is B; Jim doesn't have any arms, he's an earthworm, remember?[[/note]] |
| 45 | ** ''I don't get it.'' |
| 46 | --->A) Neither do I\ |
| 47 | B) And your point is?\ |
| 48 | C) [[LampshadeHanging The right answer is often wrong, and the rest don't make any sense, so you really don't have much of a chance anyway]] [[note]]This is the correct answer.[[/note]] |
| 49 | * To win each segment of the Puppy Love levels, you need to bring a bomb that Psycrow throws from the control tower. When you do so, Peter Puppy [[OhCrap barks in horror]], pulls the bomb out of the chute and throws it back at the control tower whereupon it explodes, with a shower of black feathers belching out from every window in the tower. |
| 50 | * The ending; And so, having defeated the nefarious '''COW''', our hero, '''COW''', wins back the heart of the lovely '''COW'''. In other words, Jim, the Princess and Psycrow -- aka the hero, the love interest and the BigBad -- all turn out to be cows in disguise. |
| 51 | * The bonus stage where Jim rides a stair lift, and has to avoid falling grannies while Scottish bagpipes play in the background, even funnier when the grannies hit Jim on the head if they land in him. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | [[AC:Earthworm Jim 3D]] |
| 54 | * While a lot of the gags in ''3D'' kinda fall flat, there's something hilarious about the first stage beginning with a voice saying "It's a barnyard out there..." |
| 55 | * In one of the boosts to your intelligence you gain early on, a message reads, "You are now smarter than [[TakeThat most accountants]]." |
| 56 | [[/folder]] |
| 57 | |
| 58 | [[folder:Animated Series ~ General]] |
| 59 | * Basically anything the LemonyNarrator says. |
| 60 | * The [[DropTheCow cow]]. Just, [[OncePerEpisode the cow]]. |
| 61 | * Or anytime Jim goes into LargeHam mode. Which would be about 90% of the time. |
| 62 | -->"''Eat dirt, everyone in the vicinity!! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH!!" |
| 63 | * Every time we see Bob the Killer Goldfish's planet it's always called [[BilingualBonus La Planeta de Agua]], and is accompanied by a brief trumpet and some voices shouting "Arriba!" for no explicable reason. |
| 64 | [[/folder]] |
| 65 | |
| 66 | [[folder:Animated Series ~ Season 1]] |
| 67 | |
| 68 | [[AC:Sidekicked]] |
| 69 | * Peter’s interpretive dance of how he feels after being fired by Jim. It starts out as a fairly normal ballerina dance (with Peter even putting on a tutu), then It devolves into Peter shouting “I want to be Jim’s sidekick again!” repeatedly. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | [[AC:The Book of Doom]] |
| 72 | * In some instances, whenever Evil dramatically says "THE BOOK!", an electric guitar plays in the background, causing Evil to angrily kick the guitarist. |
| 73 | * After Peter barricades the door preventing Evil from coming into the house. |
| 74 | -->'''Peter:''' That'll hold em' for a minute. [[NoodleIncident Good thing we reinforced the door after that incident with the old lady from UNICEF]]. |
| 75 | * When Jim and Peter have an unexpected visitor. |
| 76 | -->''(Someone knocks on the door)''\ |
| 77 | '''Jim:''' (to Peter) Were you expecting an unexpected visitor?\ |
| 78 | '''Peter:''' How can they be unexpected if I expect them?\ |
| 79 | '''Jim:''' Enough of this witty banter, I'll get the door. |
| 80 | * The scene afterward where Evil tries to get the titular book from Jim with his PaperThinDisguise. |
| 81 | -->'''Evil (disguised as a child):''' [[BadBadActing Oh boo-hoo and woe is me! I am a small child]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and not a cat.]] [[BadBadActing I am so bored and wish I had some amusing book of which to entertain myself with.]]\ |
| 82 | ''(Jim gets all teary-eyed)''\ |
| 83 | '''Evil:''' [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain Did I mention I'm NOT A CAT?]] |
| 84 | ** [[IdiotBall Not only does Jim completely fall for Evil's obvious ruse,]] but he gets ''emotional'' too. |
| 85 | --->'''Jim:''' Poor suffering tyke.\ |
| 86 | ''(Jim bursts into tears and hugs Evil the Cat, inadvertently suffocating him in the process.)''\ |
| 87 | '''Jim:''' Your piteous tale has touched my heart! My mind reels back to my own sad childhood! The horrible dank burrows! The constant hunger for decaying vegetation! [[LargeHam And the CROWS!! THE TERRIBLE, TRAGIC CROWWWWSSS!!!!!]] |
| 88 | * As Jim and Peter encounter a black hole. |
| 89 | -->'''Peter:''' Jim, what's that?!\ |
| 90 | '''Jim:''' The most horrible peril in all the universe!\ |
| 91 | '''Peter:''' A gym teacher?\ |
| 92 | ''(beat)''\ |
| 93 | '''Jim:''' Okay, SECOND most horrible peril. |
| 94 | * As Jim and Peter are being careered into a black hole, Jim tries to think with his four hyper-intelligent brains of a way to escape. |
| 95 | -->''(Jim brainstorms)'' |
| 96 | -->'''Brain #1:''' I'm hungry. |
| 97 | -->'''Brain #2:''' I'm cold. |
| 98 | -->'''Brain #3:''' I'm itchy. |
| 99 | -->'''Brain #4:''' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Where are the]] [[AllMenArePerverts girls?]] |
| 100 | ** This entire gag is redone a few seconds later. |
| 101 | --->'''Brain #1:''' Huh? |
| 102 | --->'''Brain #2:''' Huh? |
| 103 | --->'''Brain #3:''' Huh? |
| 104 | --->'''Brain #4:''' [[OverlyLongGag Gi]][[AllMenArePerverts rls?]] |
| 105 | * When Evil the Cat reads the page after the one with the hippo in the titular book. |
| 106 | -->'''Evil:''' ''(reading)'' Just as the proper note can shatter a glass, so can the proper sound shatter the universe. This sound is a shriek made by the reeking beasts of Malodoran 6. Every beast must make the sound at once for it to work. The beasts will only make the proper sound when they see... a fondue fork?! ''(talking)'' Of course... it's so obvious. |
| 107 | ** Soon after, when Jim (after losing the book) struggles to remember what was on the page after the hippo, he and Peter decide to get near a reeking beast on Malodoran 6 to jog his memory. |
| 108 | --->'''Jim:''' It's working... ''(grunt)'' I'm remembering... |
| 109 | --->''(beat)'' |
| 110 | --->'''Jim:''' I remember! The reeking beasts! |
| 111 | --->'''Peter:''' HOW COULD YOU FORGET THEM?!!? |
| 112 | --->'''Jim:''' ''THAT'S'' how you destroy the universe! You get all the reeking beasts to see a fondue fork! [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike IT'S SO OBVIOUS!]] |
| 113 | * After the reeking beasts see a fondue fork, they all admit an ear-shattering shriek, causing the universe to seemingly fall apart. |
| 114 | -->'''Evil:''' Yes! History will remember me as the cat who destroyed the universe! |
| 115 | -->''(Cue [[DramaticThunder Dramatic Thunder]])'' |
| 116 | -->'''Evil:''' Uhhh... except there won't be any historians. |
| 117 | * And what saves the universe when the reeking beasts see the fondue fork? The fact Evil is one screaming creature short, since one of the reeking beasts has horrible eyesight and can’t see [[ItMakesSenseInContext the giant glowing fondue fork in the sky.]] |
| 118 | -->'''Glasses Wearing Reeking Beast:''' (with an extremely thick English accent) Wotsat? Oh, it looks like a cantaloupe, don’t it? |
| 119 | |
| 120 | [[AC:Assault and Battery]] |
| 121 | * At the start of a RunningGag, Jim and Peter are at the International House of Haggis; a place that no one ever goes, according to Jim. |
| 122 | -->'''Peter:''' ''(eating)'' Hey, this haggis stuff is great! How come no one ever comes here? |
| 123 | -->'''Jim:''' ''(deadpan)'' Because haggis is made from the heart, lungs and liver of a sheep, boiled in its own stomach. |
| 124 | -->''(Peter freezes)'' |
| 125 | * The first cliffhanger |
| 126 | -->'''Narrator:''' Is this the end for Peter and Jim? Will they be ground to paste? Will they be torn to bits? WILL THEIR BONES BE...? |
| 127 | -->'''Peter:''' ''(interrupts)'' Oh, give it a rest, will ya? |
| 128 | -->'''Narrator:''' Right. STAY TUNED! |
| 129 | * While Jim uses his advanced computer... |
| 130 | -->'''Narrator:''' The super-advanced worm-puter, miracle of modern technology, does it usual, brilliant job. |
| 131 | -->'''Jim:''' ''(angrily)'' GAH! What do you mean "invalid parameters"?! A thousand gigs of RAM and it can't answer a simple question! |
| 132 | |
| 133 | [[AC:Day of the Fish]] |
| 134 | * The reason for Jim’s epic quest: [[SeriousBusiness getting sugar for his friends' coffee.]] |
| 135 | * Jim tricking Number 7 by impersonating his parents. The cat falls for it so easily, Jim gives an AsideGlance with a wry expression that screams “Well, he was an idiot, wasn’t he?”. |
| 136 | |
| 137 | [[AC:Conquerer Worm]] |
| 138 | * At the beginning, Jim and Peter are hanging at the Terlawk Mall with The Mighty Hamstinator. However, Hamsty can't get over his habit of stuffing random things in his cheeks, leading to this line... |
| 139 | -->'''Jim:''' Hamsty! Get that cheese hostess out of your mouth! You don't know where she's been! Ishy! Ishy! |
| 140 | * As Jim, Peter, and Snot have to retrieve the suit. |
| 141 | --->'''Narrator:''' ...But how can our heroes ever hope to get past the sinister guards?\ |
| 142 | ''(Jim, Peter, and Snot calmly stroll by)''\ |
| 143 | '''Peter:''' Evenin', guys!\ |
| 144 | '''Guard 1:''' Evenin'. ''(beat)'' Did a giant worm, a talking dog and a smiling booger just go by?\ |
| 145 | '''Guard 2:''' Yep.\ |
| 146 | '''Guard 1:''' ''(picking up the phone)'' Hello, DNA lab? Whatever you guys are doin' in there, CUT IT OUT! |
| 147 | * During the fight: |
| 148 | --->'''Jim:''' I've been thinking about this whole "exact opposite" thing. Since I hate losing, ''you'' must love it! So why not give up right now?\ |
| 149 | '''Evil Jim:''' Oh, don't be so literal-minded. |
| 150 | ** "Feel the awesome wrath of your own left fist!" |
| 151 | ** Following this, Jim draws his blaster, only for Evil Jim to effortlessly swat it out of his hand. Cue Jim's meek "Aww, man". |
| 152 | * Jim gets [[WorthLivingFor teary-eyed]] he saved his beloved Terlawk Mall from certain destruction. Only for [[RunningGag the Cow]] (now gigantic) to drop down upon it, [[DropTheCow crushing it completely]]. |
| 153 | -->'''Jim:''' Is it just me or is that Cow putting on weight? |
| 154 | |
| 155 | [[AC:Upholstered Peril]] |
| 156 | * In the opening, we meet a pair of bank robbing thugs, who look very similar to [[Film/PulpFiction a certain other criminal duo, who have remarkably similar conversations about food as them.]] |
| 157 | -->'''Thug with shades:''' Also, you know what they call cheese in Paris? |
| 158 | -->'''Blond Thug''': What they call it? |
| 159 | -->'''Thug with shades:''' Le Fromage. |
| 160 | -->'''Blond Thug:''' Le fromage? Man, it's like those French guys have a whole other language. |
| 161 | -->'''Thug with shades:''' Yeah. |
| 162 | -->'''Blond Thug:''' Yeah. |
| 163 | * As he goes down the road in his giant battle lounger, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head spies a bunch of fruit carts. |
| 164 | -->'''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' Ahh fruit carts. [[SuddenlyShouting I HATE FRUIT CARTS!]] |
| 165 | -->(Blasts the fruit carts with a laser) |
| 166 | -->'''Monkey Professor-For-A-Head:''' (Questioning ook) |
| 167 | -->'''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' Why? Because a fruit cart, a stinking fruit cart (starts breaking into tears) killed my pa! |
| 168 | |
| 169 | [[AC:Sword of Rightousness]] |
| 170 | * Among the many tasks the Sword has Earthworm Jim complete in his training, the first include doing the dishes, rerouting the bathtub and cleaning out the stables of the twelve incontinent bulls. |
| 171 | -->'''Earthworm Jim:''' [[WaxOnWaxOff Tell me oh wise Sword of Righteousness, were these menial tasks meant to teach me humility?]] |
| 172 | -->'''Sword of Righteousness:''' [[SubvertedTrope N-no, they just needed to be done and I wasn't going to do it.]] Anyway… |

| 185 | '''Jim:''' [''laughing''] Well, that just proves it. |
| 186 | * Jim's fruitless attempts to eat a nut log, including boiling it in hot water, running it over with a motorcycle, shooting it repeatedly with his gun, and eventually using it to shatter an unbreakable crystal scepter. |
| 187 | -->'''Peter:''' I don't think that's meant to be eaten, Jim. I think that's meant to anchor ships during storms. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | [[AC:The Great Secret of the Universe]] |
| 190 | * The Nameless Beast, an almost invincible eldritch demon of unfathomable might, turns out to be a talkative and friendly NiceGuy named [[FluffyTheTerrible Rosebud.]] Also, he only does tries to destroy the universe [[PunchClockVillain because he has to obey whoever holds his key,]] though when asked why it turns out he has no idea, so he just leaves Evil to go on a quest of discovery. The episode ends with him finding out he actually ''likes'' taking orders and he becomes a waiter. |
| 191 | |
| 192 | [[AC:Bring Me the Head of Earthworm Jim]] |
| 193 | * "Something smells like prehistoric cheese... OH MY SOD! It's ME!" |
| 194 | * After replacing Jim's suit with a weak replica. |
| 195 | -->'''Jim:''' Leaping out of the way...isn't as easy as it used to be. |
| 196 | -->'''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' That's because you now have only the strength of an ''ordinary person!'' |
| 197 | -->''(Jim tackles him)'' |
| 198 | -->'''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' ''(wincing from offscreen)'' Correction...an ordinary...really big person... |
| 199 | ** Earlier, The Professor explains [[SimpleSolutionWontWork why he can't make a second suit]]: |
| 200 | --->'''Professor: Monkey-For-A-Head:''' Well, I could, but the suit's power comes from the Battery of the Gods, and I only had one. I tried to get another, and the gods turned me into a breadmaker. |
| 201 | --->'''Psy-Crow:''' Pfft! You're not a breadmaker! |
| 202 | --->'''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' Oh yeah? Check it out! ''(strains, a bell goes off and he pulls a loaf of bread from his coat)'' Actually, it's kinda handy. If I twist the monkey's tail, I can make pumpernickel. |
| 203 | --->''(Cut to a shot of Psy-Crow's REALLY weirded out face)'' |
| 204 | * Jim attempting to get a reservation at a hot new restaurant for dinner with Princess What’s-Her-Name: |
| 205 | -->'''Jim''': Whaddya mean, you won't take my reservation? [[BlatantLies Of course I'm really the King of Spain!]] Yes, I can prove it: "Soy el Rey de Esponja!"\ |
| 206 | '''Peter''': [[BilingualBackfire Uh, Jim, you just told him you're the King of Sponge.]] |
| 207 | * Peter turns into his beast form after Jim has put on the fake suit and Psy-Crow has worn his real suit. He gets completely confused before deciding to attack Psy-Crow (it's anyone's guess whether he figured out his suit was the real one or not). |
| 208 | * Jim's FailedAttemptAtDrama involving a {{pun}}: |
| 209 | --> '''Jim:''' Well, fuzz-buddy... It looks like--\ |
| 210 | '''Peter:''' Please don't say "we've been taken to the cleaners"!\ |
| 211 | '''Jim:''' ...We've been-- Ehh... Well... Never mind, then. |
| 212 | * The commercial bumper subplot involving Evil the Cat's latest nefarious plan to rule the universe: go to Hollywood and become a movie star! He gets plastic surgery, dental correction, and goes on to star in critically-acclaimed films and win an Oscar... Only to be thwarted when he finds himself too nervous to make his acceptance speech. |
| 213 | * The Professor actually asks Psycrow, now that they have the Super Suit back, how will they take over the universe? |
| 214 | ---> '''Psycrow:''' Simple. Go to where the rulers of the universe hang out and then -- ah-ah-ah -- start blastin' away like a lunatic! |
| 215 | --->'''Monkey Professor-For-A-Head:''' *questioning ook noises*\ |
| 216 | '''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' NO, it is not your turn to wear the suit! |
| 217 | |
| 218 | [[AC:Queen What's-Her-Name]] |
| 219 | * When Psycrow gets a job as a gym teacher and shoots at children with his laser gun. |
| 220 | -->(children scream and run) |
| 221 | -->'''Psy-Crow:''' (while shooting) MOVE IT! MOVE IT! Let's see some muscle, you disgusting little...! |
| 222 | -->(The Principle walks up) |
| 223 | -->'''Psy-Crow:''' What do you want? |
| 224 | -->'''Principle:''' I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go! For a gym teacher, you're just a little too... |
| 225 | -->'''Psy-Crow:''' Vicious and cruel? |
| 226 | -->'''Principle:''' No. Too nice! You're a ''gym teacher'' for crying out loud! [[note]]It's especially funnier because earlier in the show, both Jim and Peter point out that the most horrible peril in all the universe is none other than... a gym teacher. Apparently, they're more perilous than a cosmic black hole.[[/note]] |
| 227 | |
| 228 | [[AC:The Anti-Fish]] |
| 229 | * At the beginning when Bob and #4 finally find the titular monstrosity, and Bob's efforts to wake it by patting its eyelid with his fin and loudly talking to it fail. |
| 230 | -->'''Bob the Killer Goldfish:''' Clearly a delicate touch is required... |
| 231 | -->Bob proceeds to grab a ''huge'' HyperspaceMallet and start whomping the Anti-Fish right in the eye. |
| 232 | -->'''Bob the Killer Goldfish:''' [[PunctuatedPounding Wake up ya stupid hunk of]] beef fat! |
| 233 | --> Cut to #4 doing first a one-man marching band routine, and then blowing up a bundle of dynamite jammed in the Anti-Fish's mouth, all whilst Bob continues screaming "Wake up!" at the top of his lungs. After the detonation fails, leaving Bob clinging to #4's tail... |
| 234 | -->'''Bob the Killer Goldfish:''' Hmm. What we need is a noise so horrible it could the dead! #4! Fetch... ''[[EverythingsLouderWithBagpipes the bagpipes]]''! |
| 235 | * A very subtle yet hilarious and somewhat easy to miss visual gag in this episode is that the heroes are fighting the big fish underwater...yet Bob ''sticks with his fishbowl and henchman method of transport''. |
| 236 | * Professor Monkey-For-A-Head attempts to tell a version of "Little Red Riding Hood" where Jim is the wolf and he's the huntsman who comes in to save the day. Even with the Professor telling the story, [[EpicFail Jim still ends up defeating him]]. |
| 237 | -->'''Professor Monkey-For-A-Head:''' I can't even beat that worm in my imagination! We're doomed, Monkey! Horribly, horribly doomed! [[MoodWhiplash ...(suddenly cheerful) The end! Did you like your story?]] |
| 238 | -->'''Monkey Professor-For-A-Head:''' (Makes very frightened ooking sounds, clearly traumatized by the story) |

| 244 | [[AC:The Origins of Peter Puppy]] |
| 245 | * At the beginning of the episode when Jim and Peter visit the U.S. president, who doesn't look like any particular real President. |
| 246 | -->'''Jim:''' Pleased to meet you Mr... Hey, you don't look like the president! |
| 247 | -->'''President:''' I'm one of those generic presidents they use on TV to keep shows from becoming dated. |
| 248 | -->'''Jim:''' Oh. Well, pleased to meet you Mr "Generic" President. |
| 249 | * Jim and Peter visit a psychologist to discover Peter's origin. |
| 250 | -->'''Dr. Houston:''' Hello, I'm Dr. Houston.\ |
| 251 | '''Jim:''' Houston, we have a problem.\ |
| 252 | (''beat'')\ |
| 253 | (''Jim and Peter burst into laughter'')\ |
| 254 | '''Dr. Houston:''' You know that was real funny about the first 500 times I've heard it. |
| 255 | * While Jim and Peter are bored right out of their minds doing nothing while watching TV. |
| 256 | -->'''TV ad:''' Are you broke? Out of work? Stuck in a rock? Well, that explains why you're watching mid-morning TV, you lazy worthless goons! YOU MAKE ME SICK! |
| 257 | * When Jim and Peter confront Evil, the ultimate embodiment of evil is… Making muffins. The fact this isn’t remotely dwelled on makes it even funnier. |
| 258 | * [[FauxHorrific The tortures of Planet Heck,]] which include the Pit Sharp Cornered Coffee Tables, a DMV Office, and most terrible of all: the [[BitingTheHandHumor TV Network’s Conference Room.]] |
| 259 | |
| 260 | [[AC:Opposites Attack]] |
| 261 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM4UPol-WwQ Behold!]], perhaps the most random thing to ever be shown on this show!... and considering this show that's saying something. |
| 262 | * [[DisproportionateRetribution Earthworm Jim blasting a waitress into oblivion for not washing her hands.]] |
| 263 | * When Evil Jim pulls a pie out of a case, Jim thinks he is going to start a pie fight and considers such a thing very evil. Evil Jim reveals he wasn't going to throw the pie. [[EvenEvilHasStandards He just didn't want to waste it]]. |
| 264 | * The good clones of the villains: Good Queen Slug-For-Butt is a kindly old nanny who disarms the original Queen [[SkewedPriorities saying her scepter could poke an eye out,]] Evil the cat gets Good the cat who is flamboyant and affectionate, and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head gets a clone where the professor is the one speaking in ape and the monkey is the brain of the operation, whom the Professor immediately hits it off with. |
| 265 | * This exchange when Jim and his clones prepare to shoot the assembled villains |
| 266 | --> '''Jims''': (simultaneously) Evildoers, prepare to be horribly mutilated! |
| 267 | --> '''Evil Jim''': Um, I should warn you. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck This is gonna smart like the Dickens]]. |

| 354 | * ??? |
| 355 | |
| 356 | [[AC:Wizard of Ooze]] |
| 357 | * Jim's description of Queen Slug-For-A-Butt makes fun of the fact she's a slug which is not an insect, but she rules a planet of insects, calling her an "Entomological Thingamabob". |
| 358 | * Professor Winged-Monkey-For-A-Head is not the best flier. |
| 359 | --> '''Professor:''' (Leaps out a window) Flap blast you! Flap! FLAP! |
| 360 | --->(Sound of him hitting the ground hard) |
| 361 | * All of the LemonyNarrator stuff, leaving the implication that the narrator is getting tired of his job. |
| 362 | ** At the beginning when Jim and Peter are trembling in fear as Queen Slug-For-A-Butt aims a giant blaster at them: |
| 363 | ---> '''Narrator''': We join our heroes... ugh... you can see for yourselves. "Awful danger", blah blah blah. |
| 364 | ---> '''Jim''': (snarky) Ah, narrator's too good for our predictable story structure, eh? |
| 365 | ---> '''Peter''': Getting his self a 'tude! |
| 366 | ---> '''Slug-For-A-Butt''': HELLO?? I'm going to destroy you here, REMEMBER?! |
| 367 | ---> '''Jim''': Oh, sorry. |
| 368 | ** And: |
| 369 | ---> '''Narrator''': We rejoin our heroes exactly where they were just a minute ago, thank you ''so much'' for paying attention. |
| 370 | ** And: |
| 371 | ---> '''Narrator''': Later, on ''another'' sound stage... |
| 372 | ** And: |
| 373 | ---> '''Narrator''': When we left our heroes... oh forget it, it doesn't really make much sense, anyway. I hate parodies. |
| 374 | ** And: |
| 375 | ---> '''Narrator''': [[NarratingTheObvious Later, our heroes skip through the woods, which you may have noticed]] [[ViewersAreMorons since you can ACTUALLY SEE THEM!]] |
| 376 | ** And: |
| 377 | ---> '''Narrator''': Ah, just make up your own line here! It's gotta be better than what's on the script. I mean, really. |
| 378 | ** And: |
| 379 | ---> '''Narrator''': Ugh... anyone mind if I skip the transition speech?? |
| 380 | ---> '''Wicked Witch''': Sure, I don't blame you. Blah, blah, blah, always the same. |
| 381 | ---> '''Narrator''': You said it, sister. |
| 382 | ** And: |
| 383 | ---> '''Narrator''': Of course, the most horrific thing about being the narrator is the degrading hula girl outfit they make me wear. |
| 384 | ** And: |
| 385 | ---> '''Narrator''': All right, Mart- Marty, listen, you have to get me off this show NOW! |
| 386 | ** And finally, when Jim has had enough: |
| 387 | ---> '''Jim''': Narrator! We have a line here! |
| 388 | ---> '''Narrator''': (grumpy) I'm not in the ''mood''... |
| 389 | ---> '''Jim''': Then perhaps you like me to unleash these VOCAL CORD-EATING INSECTS ON YA!! |
| 390 | ---> '''Narrator''': (frightened) Ah, I'LL SAY THE LINE! I'LL SAY THE LINE! (speedily) ''And so, Jim turns the queen's weapon against her, thwarting evil and saving the day.'' |
| 391 | ---> '''Jim''': THANK YOU. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | [[AC:For Whom the Jingle Bell Tolls]] |
| 394 | * At the beginning, Jim gives Queen Slug-For-A-Butt a present. |
| 395 | -->'''Queen:''' For me? You shouldn't have. ''(She opens the box which blows up)'' You gave me that ''LAST YEAR!'' |
| 396 | * This bit: |
| 397 | -->'''Jim:''' Here is your pony. [[NoodleIncident Don't feed the pony rocks like you did with the cat]]. |
| 398 | * When asked who kidnapped Santa, [[LawyerFriendlyCameo a reindeer who is totally not Rudolph]] describes the culprit as being a disgusting insect with a butt the size of a Macy's parade float. It turns out to be Queen Slug-for-a-butt, but Jim's first guess is [[TakeThat Rush Limbaugh]]. |
| 399 | * In the beginning, Princess questions who Santa Claus is and what gives him the right to judge who had been naughty or nice. At the climax we get this. |
| 400 | -->'''Santa:''' No Jim, if Christmas is in trouble, I must be the one to save it. |
| 401 | -->'''Jim:''' Errr are you sure? Aren't you kinda... Old and fat? |
| 402 | -->'''Santa:''' You know me by the name of Santa Claus, but in my younger and wilder years I was know by another name. (his voice suddenly echoes and he takes off his red coat revealing he is absolutely ripped) WODEN! |
| 403 | -->(The BigBallOfViolence going on in the back stops and Peter, the Princess, and the Queen look at Santa/Woden in terrified awe) |
| 404 | -->'''Queen Slug-For-A-Butt:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh my goodness.]] |
| 405 | -->'''Santa/Woden:''' NORSE GOD OF JUDGEMENT! MAY THE NAUGHTY TREMBLE, BEFORE MY AWESOME MIGHT! YO HO ''HO!'' |
| 406 | -->(He proceeds to lay a massive beatdown on Queen Slug-for-a-butt) |
| 407 | -->'''Jim:''' Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis he. Kicks. Butt!]] |
