Line #15 Funny/Zits


1	* Thanks to Hector's StrawVegetarian girlfriend, Jeremy releases a box of '''''fifty-thousand''''' [[FreeTheFrogs live crickets]] ''[[LethallyStupid in the middle of the school hallway.]]'' Cue the exterminators showing up.
2	-->'''Connie:''' [[LetMeGetThisStraight Are you telling me that letting 50,000 crickets loose in the school hallway was a political statement??]]
3	-->'''Jeremy:''' I think Greenpeace would back me up on that.
4	* One strip had Jeremy trying to telepathically communicate with a fly instead of getting rid of it. Mom then swats it. The next panel has Jeremy say "Uh oh, nothing but static!"
5	* [[https://comicskingdom.com/zits/2010-08-01 This is why]] you don't take too long ordering in line; [[TheParalyzer some dope learns this the hard way.]]
6	-->'''Jeremy:''' That seemed harsh.
7	-->'''Pierce:''' Maybe. But it keeps the line moving.
8	* The Christmas strip where Jeremy's parents give him a vintage electric guitar. Jeremy's reaction is to exclaim: "Pinch me, I must be dreaming!" His mom [[SubvertedTrope does so]]... causing him to wake up and find that his present is [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome a pair of socks]]. With pictures of electric guitars on them.
9	* [[http://zitscomics.com/comics/december-5-2008/ The 2008 strip where Jeremy tries to ask out Sara to the winter formal while wearing a gorilla suit for novelty]], only to find out she's already agreed to go with another student named Albert (this was during one of Jeremy and Sara's breaks). Problem is, when he confronts her about it, she has no idea who he is since he's still wearing the costume.
10	--> '''Jeremy''': ''You're going to the winter formal with Albert Tang?!''
11	--> '''Sara''': Um, yes? Who are you?
12	--> '''Jeremy''': sigh It doesn't really matter anymore, does it?
13	--> '''Sara''': I think I just snubbed the monkey, Pierce.
14	--> '''Pierce''': I don't even know what that means but I'm pretty sure I can relate.
15	* The strip where Jeremy accidentally drives into a funeral procession. While carrying a poorly-secured giant clown head on the roof of his car.
16	-->'''Pierce:''' At least it gave us an idea for a new band name! ''[holds up shirt with the clown head and the words "Creepy Clown Head Funeral"]''
17	** In a much earlier strip, Jeremy's own band got their name "Goat Cheese Pizza" during a brainstorming session because they didn't realize Walt was making an offer, not pitching a name.
18	--> '''Walt''': They can't say I didn't offer any...
19	* Any time Sara is getting ready to leave whichever house she's in. Guaranteed, the weather outside will be exactly the opposite of her dress.
20	* After Chad visits home during the holidays (back in 1998), everyone drives back with him to college, with Jeremy and Walt being introduced to his asian roommate Ng.
21	--> '''Walt''': So, how are things at home, Ng?
22	--> '''Ng''': Not great. Economic turmoil. Political strife. Environmental disasters...
23	--> '''Walt''': I feel for your people...
24	--> '''Chad''': Dad, Ng is from ''Florida!''
25	--> '''Ng''': But the people of Orlando appreciates your sympathy!
26	** Even funnier, this strip long predates the OnlyInFlorida joke.
27	** Jeremy is surprised how small Chad's dorm room is, especially with a roommate, and asks how he can stand it. The answer? "No curfew, no parents and no morning classes!"
28	--> '''Jeremy''': {{Touche}}...
29	* In one strip, Jeremy has Walt drop him off several blocks from school, while he's late, in the middle of the rain... because Walt is wearing his workout clothes; shorts and a tank top that doesn't cover his hairy and flabby midsection.
30	--> '''Jeremy''': ''PLEASE'' get back in the car, Dad- I mean, ''mister!''
31	* Sarah gets up at 5:30 AM to jog, bathe, shave, do her hair, eat breakfast, check her homework, and still can't seem to get out of the house before 7:30. She expresses her frustration to Jeremy, who tells her she needs a system. The same Jeremy who sleeps straight through her entire routine, then dresses himself and drinks a soda in a mad scramble to get to school on time.
32	* While sleeping out in [[TheAllegedCar the old hippie van]] one summer night, Jeremy and Hector decide to go on a nighttime walk around the neighborhood, and come across the street sign for "Jeremy St.", which Jeremy, in an uncharacteristic move, decides to steal. After some misadventures trying to get it off the pole, Jeremy begins switching between gushing over how cool it is, and paranoia over getting caught, jumping at the slightest noise.
33	--> '''Hector''': [[Literature/TheTellTaleHeart "Tear up the floorboards! There! There! It's the beating of his hideous heart!"]]
34	--> '''Jeremy''': You know, sometimes I don't understand a word you're saying...
35	** The introduction of the hippie van some time before; one day, Jeremy sits his parents down and tells them he has something important to tell them. They're terrified that it's either going to be about sex (Walt) or drugs (Connie).
36	--> '''Jeremy''': Me and Hector want to buy an old Volkswagen van so we can restore it and go on a road trip!
37	--> '''Walt/Connie''': ''OH THANK GOD!'' hugs a very confused Jeremy
38	* During one English class, Sara points out one of their classmates to Jeremy, revealing that the girl [[TeenPregnancy recently had a baby]], which was adopted by a couple from Ohio. She now has to recover from giving birth, catch up on her missed schoolwork and readjust to high school, all with the knowledge that she'll likely never see her child again.
39	--> '''Jeremy''': In other words, I should stop complaining about how hard these word problems are?
40	--> '''Sara''': Bingo!
41	* In one strip, Jeremy is flipping through a photo album, and is amazed to discover that Walt apparently used to work as a clown. Jeremy actually thinks it's pretty cool and tells his father than his old costume was hilarious. [[IWasQuiteAFashionVictim It's actually the outfit Walt wore to a wedding back in 1974, complete with afro, moustache, a jacket with giant collars, an open shirt and a necklace.]]
42	* Jeremy and Hector's stint working at a Christmas tree lot during the holiday season of 1998, and their boss, Otis Tannebaum.
43	--> '''Hector''': singing while he and Jeremy are struggling to carry two trees ''Oh Tannebaum, Oh, Tannebaum, it's my back you're breaking!''
44	--> '''Jeremy''': Shut up, Hector!
45	** Mr. Tannebaum's "trade secret" to sprucing up some of his trees, which are already turning dry and brown; green spraypaint.
46	--> '''Jeremy''': So ''thats'' why they call him Mr. Greensleeves!
47	** A snowstorm hits one evening, and Jeremy and Hector huddle around a barrel fire, wondering why the lot isn't closed, because what kind of idiots would go shopping for Christmas trees in this weather?
48	--> '''Connie''': Yoohoo, Jeremy!
49	--> '''Walt''': Over here, you got customers, son!
