2[[AC: "Most Dangerous Witch"]]
3* When Hilda and Zelda show Sabrina and Quigley Tim the Witchsmeller's FreudianExcuse, the latter says this:
4--> '''Quigley''': Witches can be so cruel.\
5''Hilda and Zelda give him a DeathGlare''\
6'''Quigley''': (awkwardly) Yeah, uh, {{Present Company Exc|luded}}epted, of course.
7* Sabrina reads an incredibly elaborate incantation to find Tim the Witch Smeller, and the spell creates a road lit by green flames, prompting Salem to snark:
8--> "The dumber the rhyme, the cooler the spell."
9* Hilda and Zelda are in such a hurry running around packing that they collide on the stairs, complete with hilarious squeals from Melissa Joan Hart.
10* Salem describes Tim the Witch Smeller's creepy mansion as the "Rocky Horror Dream House".
11* Sabrina and Salem encounter several witches with their heads mounted on Tim's wall. Sabrina says she's looking for a "cute young guy with dark brown hair and a dreamy smile". One elderly witch snarks "aren't we all, honey."
12* The Spellmans go to the Greendale mall, with Sabrina assuring them they'll have the advantage over Tim since "no one can outmanoeuvre ''me'' in a mall."
13** They use magic to clear all the mortals out, after which Hilda sighs that the lack of crowds would make a good shopping opportunity.
14** Salem sorts through a series of hot sauce choices that range from "Hot", "Extra Hot" and "Ay Chihuahua".
15* Tim's parting words are hamtastically declaring that they haven't seen the last of him.
16--> '''Hilda:''' I wasn't wild about seeing the ''first'' of you.
17
18[[AC: "You Said a Mouse-Ful"]]
19* Sabrina accidentally ends up in the Netherworld, in a place later called the Hall of 1000 Doors. Unable to find the door home until Hilda opens it, her aunt points out that the 'exit' sign above the door would have been a good clue.
20* Salem is at first refusing to play his part in the science project...until Gem insults him. Not only does he complete the obstacle course, he pulls a table and napkin out of {{Hammerspace}} to have dinner on at the end.
21* As Sabrina is trying to save Salem from being launched into space, launch is delayed because something called a "Code fifteen". Later she asks Uncle Quigley what that was about, to which Salem responds "man walking around [[PantsFree without his pants]]"
22
23[[AC: "No Time to Be a Hero"]]
24* Sabrina's first attempt at reversing time leads to her now accidentally saving the school bus, and the rewards increasing. Instead of a new bike, Uncle Quigley buys her a pony! And it tries to eat Salem's tail.
25--> '''Salem:''' Back off, Mr Ed! This stays with the outfit.
26* Sabrina casts a spell that accidentally destroys the town's dam and the entire town has to evacuate. We see Gem dragging a suitcase overflowing with shoes and Zelda levitating Hilda's bed out the door with Hilda still sound asleep. And when everyone thinks Sabrina is the hero, the popular girls offer to give Gem a wedgie to show their support.
27* Ms Bleachstain {{Squee}}s about how Sabrina saved everyone in town, and she can only sigh with "oh maaaaannn" the same way Danny Glover said "[[Film/LethalWeapon I'm too old for this shit]]".
28* Harvey asks if Sabrina will marry him when they're old enough, and she wails a BigNO and storms off.
29* Sabrina creates the ultimate BadFuture for herself - Greendale has been renamed Sabrinaville, every shop is named 'Sabrina something' and each resident is named Sabrina. Including the men! And they all wear hats with blonde wigs to resemble her.
30** And even in this future where she's hailed as a god, Gem still doesn't like her.
31
32[[AC: "Shrink To Fit"]]
33* The huge contraption Salem produces for Sabrina to fit into her new jeans (which are only meant for a size 0 waist, which Sabrina and Chloe discover they don't have). The button ends up flying off, bouncing off everything in the room and finally flying down Salem's throat.
34-->'''Sabrina''': Salem! Did you swallow it?!\
35'''Salem''': Yep! (''cough'') But it's not the ingestion that worries me. It's the ''out''gestion.
36** Not to mention when he first produces it there's a crumbling skeleton left inside.
37* Sabrina suggests they just watch what they eat to fit into their jeans. GilliganCut to Chloe staring hungrily at a chocolate sundae chanting "I'm watching it, I'm watching it."
38** Sabrina then lists a selection of healthy snacks including tofu on a stick, kidney beans and carrot sticks.
39--> '''Chloe:''' And ''after'' we've finished hurling?
40** Chloe then suggests exercise. [[BaitAndSwitch A walk to the Spooky Jar]].
41* The aunts are itching so badly they think Enchantra must have cast a spell on them just to {{Troll}}. Hilda has robbed Salem's scratching post before Zelda realises they're just itching from Salem's fleas. And she conjures up a magic magnifying glass to check...and finds a flea sleeping. When the flea sees Zelda spying on him, he hurriedly [[NakedFreakOut covers up with a towel]].
42** To elaborate on Hilda robbing Salem's scratching post - she grabs it while he's using it and throws him across the room. We then see him flattened against the TV screen, thanks to cartoon physics.
43* The Spooky Jar tries to be ominous, forcing a rhyme that Sabrina and Chloe have to answer "questions three". One and two are their names and what they want. The third is their favorite colour. Sabrina spends ages dithering on the spot about which is hers, even arguing with Chloe about whether black counts as one.
44** When Chloe has a comedic DespairEventHorizon:
45--> '''Chloe:''' I smell butter we're so toasted! I can see the headlines now - "Chloe Flan and friend die in Freak Fashion Accident".
46--> '''Sabrina:''' [[SidetrackedByTheAnalogy 'And friend'!? I'm 'And friend'!?]]
47* Chloe has repeated ThisIsGonnaSuck moments throughout the episode.
48** Realising Sabrina wants to use Gem's dental floss as a rope.
49** Refusing to jump onto Salem's back, and getting pushed off before she can finish her protests.
50* Salem becomes quite the diva when he's forced to take a bath.
51--> "Harsh detergents ruin the supple lustre of my coat!"
52
53[[AC: "Wag The Witch"]]
54* Salem being dramatic.
55-->'''Salem:''' And who is it that put the cat out last night? The cat did not want to go out! The rottweilers from next door were loose. I had to sleep in the mailbox!
56* Sabrina's caller ID involves her eyes popping out at both ends of the receiver. Chloe is understandably freaked out.
57* The newspaper reporter snaps a photo of Uncle Quigley right after he's left the shower, covered in foam. She then runs a Weekly World News style article with the headline about a mysterious 'Lather Man' at the Spellman house.
58* The hilarious shoes that Hilda tries on.
59* Thanks to Gem's prank, Harvey stumbles into a dress and then out the shop door...and is then arrested for shoplifting, having to go to mall jail still wearing the dress. Then Pi shows up in the same dress to explain his theory.
60** Pi is apparently a member of a clown group....and a KISS fan.
61* Everyone avoiding Sabrina because they assume she has bad breath.
62* Sabrina messing around on the elevator at the mall.
63* One of Gem's plots to make Sabrina seem extra weird involves bribing a perfume saleswoman...to ambush Sabrina and start spraying her with musty perfumes. And at the end of the episode, Gem's comeuppance is the same woman chasing after her and spraying her with perfume too.
64* After blindsiding Sabrina with anchovies on her pizza (which make her gag), she grabs the nearest drink. It's not water but soda, and Sabrina lets out a gigantic belch.
65
66[[AC: "Paranormal Pi"]]:
67** Salem becoming Zamboni's yes-man, agreeing with everything the old grouch wants, just in hopes of getting turned back into a warlock.
68* Sabrina pranking Slugloaf and Chloe's snarky comment.
69-->'''Chloe:''' Gee. I wonder how that happened.
70* Harvey mistaking an order box for an alien communicator.
71* Sabrina attempts to zap Pi's machine, just as he says it's protected from supernatural interference, and so the magic backfires onto her; giving her a Film/BrideOfFrankenstein-esque beehive.
72--> '''Harvey:''' Are you doing something new with your hair?
73* Pi getting dragged down the street, crashing through a fence and knocking over a flower salesman, who loses all his petals.
74* Salem and the living foot stool running away and hiding in terror at Zamboni's outrage.
75* Though it's [[TearJerker pretty sad]] too, Pi falling in the mud is pretty funny.
76* Sabrina CallingTheOldManOut is followed by Zamboni remarking that it's the first time anyone's ever stood up to him. We're led to believe that he's going to launch into the cliched response of Sabrina earning his respect [[BaitAndSwitch but then he snaps that he doesn't like being talked back to]] and continues to act like a {{Jerkass}}.
77
78[[AC: "Documagicary"]]
79* [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Clint]] [[PunnyName Tarantu]][[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed lino]]. Nuff said.
80** It gets better. "He directed [[Film/PulpFiction Gulp Fiction]] and revived the career of that zombie TV star [[Creator/JohnTravolta Joe Revolta]]."
81** Once she signs the contract, she coos to the camera "[[Film/SunsetBoulevard I'm ready for my close-up, Mr Tarantulino]]". And yes, this twelve-year-old child puts on the Norma Desmond voice.
82* Sabrina discovers the camera crew filming her waking up, with Tarantulino even directing her on how to yawn. Her scream is what makes it.
83--> "[[BitingTheHandHumour TV people are whack."]]
84
85[[AC: "The Grandparent Trap"]]
86* Sabrina's grandparents have a blazing row which involves casting spells at each other. Grandma is a proper hippie flower child and is enraged to suddenly be in a business suit with a PrimAndProperBun while Grandpa is the opposite and is enraged to be given dreadlocks and a Hawaiian shirt and shorts.
87** Sabrina, Hilda and Zelda cast a spell to make them relive their honeymoon. Things go wonderfully...right until they find out the hard way that the grandparents chose to visit the Rings of Saturn during meteor season.
88
89[[AC: "I Got Glue Babe"]]
90* Gem has her cotton candy on her as they're in line for the rollercoaster. After the first ride, cut to Sabrina inexplicably with a face full of it as it ends.
91--> '''Harvey:''' Man, that was awesome.
92--> '''Sabrina:''' Yeah, nothing beats cotton candy up your nose at Warp Ten.
93* Gem's favourite theme park attraction is an island dedicated to overly cutesy animatronic elves who won't stop singing. It's even titled 'Sappy Happy Elf Isle'.
94* When trying to find a raft to swim back to the shore, they just get a bunch of the elf robots roped together. They're face up, meaning Sabrina still has to listen to the song. And then a shark robot inexplicably appears!
95* The episode has a RunningGag of Chloe winning every ring toss game and "setting free" the stuffed animal prizes. The last we see of her, she's using a forklift to carry around the crate full of teddy bears.
96* Gem won't stop at having the last word even when she enjoys the corndog.
97--> "Don't push your luck, Spellman. If I get sick, ''you're'' in the line of fire."
98
99[[AC: "The Importance Of Being Norma"]]
100* when Salem tries to wake Sabrina up. Eventually he conjures up a heavy metal band beside the bed that makes her fly through the ceiling.
101--> '''Salem:''' (in a baby voice) Did we have a good sleepy-weepy?
102--> '''Sabrina:''' (through clenched teeth) It was fine till the akey-wakey by the witty kitty.
103
104[[AC: "Witchitis"]]
105* At the end when Harvey and Pi scream blue murder after seeing a dragon, while said dragon just stares at them with a bored expression on his face. Also the fact that Pi appears to be trying to hide behind Harvey (some justice for trying to scare him and Sabrina at the beginning of the episode).
106
107[[AC: "Absence of Malissa"]]
108* After Captain Malissa has been needlessly tormenting Sabrina at Witch Boot Camp [[FantasticRacism just for being half-mortal]] Sabrina gets back at her by using her magic to move the clock backwards during morning roll call causing the general to get furious at Malissa for waking him up an hour early, her stunned reaction is priceless
109
110[[AC: "Hex-Change Students"]]
111* Sabrina meets up with some old friends from the Netherworld. When she says "I remember it like it was just yesterday", only for one of them to stop the flashback before it even begins (just after the ripple waves so they could sit down. once they're seated, Sabrina goes right back into the flashback mode.
112
113[[AC: "Stone Broke"]]
114* Gem keeps referring to Sabrina's lifestyle as "simple peasant" life, and the latter snaps in the ice cream parlour, screaming "[[NoIndoorVoice I'm not a peasant!]]" - then going very red when she sees everyone else staring at her.
115* Gem's utterly disastrous attempts at living the "peasant life" including [[EpicFail washing the dishes in the Washing Machine and serving stew made from the neighbors trash]]. Taken to the height of absurdity when Sabrina tries to make Gem rich again to get her out of the house, and she wins a billion dollars in the form of a big novelty check, she then excitedly rips apart the check marveling at how much recycled paper it has.
116
117[[AC: "Molar Molar"]]
118* The aunts have installed a weird system to get Sabrina to wake up. Hilda speaks through an intercom to Sabrina's bedroom - and then a snarky little gnome jumps out, crawls to Sabrina's bed and screams the message in her ear.
119--> '''Sabrina:''' Man, I have got to get a clock radio.
120* Sabrina rants about her dilemma re: judging the talent show and having to spare her friends' feelings in front of the aunts, who are fast asleep in their chairs from watching the egg non-stop. Sabrina doesn't even notice and thanks them for listening.
121* Zelda discourages Hilda from using magic to cheat their homework with some magnificent witch ValuesDissonance - [[CursedWithAwesome "do you want to stay young and beautiful forever!"]] - and Hilda shudders as if that's the worst thing in the world.
122* The Spooky Jar's ServileSnarker persona is gold when Hilda conjures him.
123--> "[[SophisticatedAsHell I'm down with the dillio, sister]]. I may reside in a ceramic jar, but my hearing's as clear as a bell."
124** The spell to make the chicken hatch involves "a twist of a feline's toe". The shot stays on the jar as Hilda walks offscreen, and then we hear Salem squealing [[ThatPoorCat "my toe!"]]
125* When Sabrina gets her wisdom teeth removed magically, which removes her common sense (such as walking into oncoming traffic, trying to hitchhike home, and telling her friends and enemies what she really thinks of them). She ends up insulting Chloe's dancing and says she looks awful in her outfit before running off hastily and giving Chloe this line made hilarious by Cree Summer's delivery.
126--> '''Chloe:''' When you get home, might I suggest you take a loooooong nap grumpy!
127* And rather than sassing Gem, Sabrina's BrutalHonesty is that she loves the sweater she's wearing and wishes she owned it. Gem is so revolted she gives the sweater to "the unworthy" (meaning Bernard).
128* The Spooky Jar preparing for vacation complete with straw hat, Aloha shirt and shorts. He's also got floaties, which Sabrina expresses surprise at.
129** When Salem and Sabrina ambush him on the beach, he retreats into his jar.
130--> "I saw the movie Film/DeathTakesAHoliday. If he can, so can I.
131** Salem's plot to force Spooky to help them involves sending a piranha in after him while he's swimming...to pop his floaties. Spooky's voice goes extremely high as a delightfully entertaining HollywoodDrowning sequence ensues.
132--> "Goldfish after me!"
133** After Sabrina and Salem (who have given themselves ''{{Series/Baywatch}}'' style swimsuits for the occasion) rescue him, he still refuses to help. Until Salem points out that he lost his swimming shorts. Spooky's NakedFreakOut is also priceless.
134* The RunningGag of the magically hatched chicken growing bigger and Sabrina being the only one who notices, leading everyone else to think she's going mad when she starts babbling about [[MadnessMantra "Big chicken staring, always staring!"]] Helped by Emily Hart saying it as though she's having her own Pink Elephants moment.
135
136[[AC: "Xabrina Warrior Witch"]]
137* The Spellmans are playing Scrabble with Uncle Quigley, who questions Salem's word 'Zortzblatz'. It turns out it's a magic word that you shouldn't say out loud - or else your head turns into a donkey's. Quigley and Chloe find this out the hard way.
138--> '''Chloe:''' I hate coming over here.
139* Upon finding Harvey glued to the video game, Chloe runs through a list of possible professions to call - doctor, psychiatrist, electrician.
140* When Sabrina and Chloe get sucked into Harvey's video game and find themselves dressed in Xena-type armour and armed with swords.
141--> '''Chloe:''' Don't look now, but I think we're bad girls.
142* The RiddleOfTheSphinx makes an appearance in the game. Chloe answers with 'man', obviously having done her homework. Too bad in this universe it's a nine-legged creature that then attacks the girls.
143** When trying to stop it, the girls get out the game's rulebook, and accidentally drop it. Of course that helps knock the creature out. Chloe later refers to doing things [[{{Pun}} "by the book"]].
144* Aphrodite disapproves of Sabrina and Chloe's leather outfits, so she decides to turn them into cows. Whenever they dodge her blasts, things like a sculpture and even a fountain turn into a cow. One is a statue of Cupid, whose cow form is still wearing a toga and holding the bow and arrow.
145** Sabrina's threat to make Aphrodite stop is to [[PokeThePoodle "muss up your hair"]]. It works.
146* Sabrina and Chloe find Odysseus outside the labyrinth, complete with Trojan horse and several grumbling soldiers inside looking for directions.
147
148[[AC: "Strange New World"]]
149* Pi apparently gets so mad he can melt ice...the Vice Principal was not impressed. "Pick up this mess or it's double detention!" *gloom*
150* Also from "Strange New World":
151--> '''Salem:''' You think you have problems?! I was just trying to get a card game going! (He is surrounded by a polka band) I said Poker, not Polka!
152--> '''Sabrina:''' It pays to watch old westerns. Hiho Silver away!
153** Tiny little Pi pushing Tom out of the classroom is really funny if you look at the way Tom towers over him. The same goes for his little hissy fit after the explosion.
154--> '''Harvey:''' (talking about going to the mall) If Tom's in. I'm in! (Runs off)
155--> '''Pi:''' (Yanks him back by his arm) Harvster. If you can break away from the Tom fan club. You'll notice we have to rebuild our project!
156--> '''Harvey:''' Oh yeah. And then we can show it to Tom and HE can make sure it works! (Runs back inside)
157--> '''Pi:''' (cue {{tranquil fury}})
158
159[[AC: "Witchery Science Theatre"]]
160* Witchery Science Theater is ''quite'' funny between the StylisticSuck of a BMovie and the usher LeaningOnTheFourthWall.
161--> '''Usher''': "The nice thing about movies is there are no commercial breaks when you get to the good part-"
162--> *he gets interrupted by a commercial break transition*
163* Chloe witnessing the movie's RomanticFalseLead trying to get Peggy Sue to go steady with him.
164--> "Poodle skirts, this ''is'' a horror movie."
165* When Sabrina zaps herself, Harvey and Chloe into the movie by accident, her aunts and Salem don't bat an eyelid and {{Squee}} about "our Sabrina on the big screen."
166* The aunts need ID to get into their movie, so they produce [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld papyrus scrolls]] "signed by the Pharaoh himself". The confused ticket girl can only faintly tell them to enjoy the movie, adding an uncertain "ma'ams".
167* When Freddie details his backstory of turning from a nerd to lobster zombie, Sabrina bawls that it's the saddest story she's ever heard. The audience, who had been expecting a standard 50s horror movie, boo quite loudly.
168* Peggy Sue's father has an evil plan to trap the lobster zombie - drown him in melted butter.
169* Sabrina gives a RousingSpeech about how TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside to convince the mob to stop hunting Freddie. The usher, who had been hunting the tweens like Inspector Javert, is now sobbing that this is the best movie he's ever seen.
170
171[[AC: "Hexcalibur"]]
172* Arthur wakes up to see Sabrina standing above him and...
173--> '''Arthur:''' Am I in heaven? For thou must be an angel.
174--> '''Sabrina:''' Thanketh thee a lot.
175--> '''Salem:''' I thinketh I'm gonna be sicketh.
176* Merlin's magic practice tortures poor Salem - who's first turned into a chicken drumstick and then an ostrich (still with a cat's head).
177* Morgan le Fay grumbling about Sabrina's magic removing Excalibur.
178--> "Curse that blonde teeny bopper!"
179** Arthur names the sword Excalibur "after my goldfish". Morgan knowing of it before he names it suggest he coincidentally had a goldfish with the same name as the legendary sword, or it was a self-fulfilling prophecy on Morgan's part.
180* Arthur being bested by a tree and ''Merlin'' getting his ass handed to him by ''Salem''.
181** Arthur was trying to save Sabrina from a stampeding boar, but he makes such an ass of himself the boar is just crying laughing and walks off - clearly thinking 'these people are too stupid to gore'.
182* There's a RunningGag of Morgan disguising herself as a raven to spy on Sabrina, Arthur and Merlin - and a male raven [[AbhorrentAdmirer constantly trying to flirt with her]]. In one instance, she literally just shrieks as high as she can to make him go away.
183* Merlin had an offscreen magic trick on the ride home that gave Arthur's horse three heads.
184* Morgan and Lanceloaf pose as work experience students to be Merlin's servants to steal the sword. And when they do, his father grumbles "I knew we should have asked for references."
185* Sabrina stops Morgan flying off with the sword by making it rain frogs on her.
186--> '''Morgan:''' Curseth! I might get warts!
187--> ''More frogs cover her.''
188--> '''Morgan:''' Stop! Cease! Desist! Oh that tickleth!
189* In general, Morgan is a gold mine in this episode. Chantal Strand really hams it up, and the English accent sells it.
190
191[[AC: "Brina Baby"]]
192* Sabrina's inner child steals Gem's Polo Ponies and transports them to the house. As the police arrive at the house, things go wonderfully bad.
193--> '''Zelda:''' Have you got a search warrant!
194--> '''Chief:''' It's in the mail.
195--> ''Pony neighs in the background''.
196--> '''Hilda:''' [[BlatantLies Uh, "nay", nay I say. There are ponies here not.]]
197--> ''Salem appears riding on a pony in the hallway''.
198
199[[AC: Witchwrecked]]:
200** This exchange.
201-->'''Harvey:''' I wonder if it gets cold here at night?\
202'''Gem:''' I'll keep you warm, Harvey.\
203'''Harvey:''' Uh...did I say cold?
204** Salem going crazy...that is all, [[spoiler:except for the part where he steals the propeller]].
205
206[[AC: "Fish Schtick"]]
207* During "Cliché Week" we get some lovely VisualPun moments:
208-->'''Hilda:''' I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.\
209''A horse drops onto the table.''\
210'''Salem:''' [[DeadpanSnarker You want fries with that?]]
211
212-->'''Zelda:''' Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.\
213''Zelda turns into a monkey''.\
214'''Zelda:''' I have a sudden urge to roller skate.
215
216-->'''Salem:''' Hey! I just heard a big storm is headed this way. They say it's gonna rain cats and--\
217''he gets crushed by a dog''\
218'''Salem:''' Don't tell me...it's Cliché Week.
219** Salem using a woman's hair rollers as binoculars. A bonus is that the woman doesn't notice the huge cat pulling on her hair for two minutes.
220[[/folder]]
221
222[[folder:Sabrina's Secret Life]]
223[[AC: "At the Hop"]]
224* Salem gets a good TakeThat to Cassandra. Just as he's saying the words "backstabbing creep", she conjures herself into Sabrina's room and he snarks "somebody knows a cue when she hears one".
225* Salem is unreceptive to Sabrina's idea for him being her date for the dance. Then she turns him into a {{Bishonen}}, he takes one look at himself in the mirror and instantly agrees.
226** It turns out Cassandra was such a {{Jerkass}} she couldn't get a date either, and turned her rabbit into a human. Unlike Salem, the transformation wasn't smooth; he has obvious buck teeth.
227** Both familiars angrily deny that they're Sabrina and Cassandra's pets.
228* While a nasty prank, Maritza's reaction to the spell on her hair is a dumbfounded "like, excuse me" as if she thinks a sneeze caused it.
229* Salem trolls Sabrina by flirting with a group of girls at the dance, snarking that "just because I came with you, doesn't mean I'm going to ''leave'' with you."
230* Sabrina's well-deserved HumiliationConga:
231** She pushes Maritza out of the way of the falling punchbowl, and gets drenched. She deadpans "mmm, grape".
232** The disco ball falls on her, and she sticks her arms out at either side.
233--> "I look like an ornament from the world's worst Christmas Tree."
234* Enchantra shows up to lecture Sabrina on the episode's Aesop...and then also remarks that Salem's human form is "hot!"
235[[/folder]]
