Funny / Atomic Puppet

Season 1

Sick Day

AP vs Disastro

• When Joey rescues Bubbles from Naughty Kitty, he catches the cat using the hand he's got AP on, and AP is not happy.
  AP (muffled): You did that on purpose!
• Naughty Kitty has to settle for taking Bubbles when she loses her talking "Fabric Tabby" (actually AP covered in cat fur).
  Naughty Kitty: You're no fabby, but you'll have to do. (in a hopeful tone) I don't suppose you talk?
  Bubbles: Meow.
  (Naughty Kitty puts on a disappointed face)
• When Naughty Kitty cat-naps AP.
  Girl: It's gone! It's gone! (Joey rushes in) Your fabby! It just vanished...like all my human friends (sobs)

• AP acting as a fitness coach for the class hamster.
• AP trying to snap his non-existent fingers.

Big Pickle

• AP going mad from isolation (including falling in love with a pickle) and growing a Beard of Sorrow while trapped in Phil's pickle jar...in the span of two minutes.
• All of Joey's attempts to break AP out of the pickle jar as well. The highlight is when he uses a remote-controlled steamroller that explodes upon touching the jar.
• After the steamroller fails, AP attempts to go on his own in the pickle jar, insisting he'll be fine stuck in it forever. When his jar is halted by a fire hydrant, he makes a few tries to get past it before slumping down in defeat.
• "Phew! That's the last time I take an armpit ride!" — AP on being carried under Joey's armpits.
• Joey and AP infiltrating the prison in the Paper-Thin Disguise of "Villain Inspector" only works because the guard is too invested in the soap opera on his monitor to pay any serious attention. No wonder the criminals keep escaping.

Pizza Planet

• Phil's complete disinterest in the battle between Atomic Puppet and Zorp's lackeys, insisting the medieval-themed restaurant would be more exciting.

Don't Track the Mudman

• When Vivian gets possessed by Mudman, we immediately cut to this scene:
  Phil (doing a crossword): Abbie, what's a ten letter word for "control over someone"? Starts with a "P".
  Abigail: Duh, possession.
  (no prizes for guessing who shows up immediately afterwards to scare the bejeezus out of Phil)
• When Joey and AP's battle against Mudman!Vivian leads to mud splattering all over the house:
  Joey: Look at this mess. My mom’s gonna kill me!
  (Mudman!Vivian starts charging at them)
  AP: Yep, it’s starting to look that way.
• AP trying to turn on the hose while Mudman!Vivian trounces Joey, and when he finally gets it going, a knot in the hose halts the flow. His reaction is perfect.
• The Running Gag of Atomic Puppet calling Mudman other names, only for Mudman to point out that's one of his relatives.
  "It's Mudman! Dirtbag's my cousin."

  Joey: Dirtbag? Don't you mean Mudman?
  Dyna-Moe: No! That's his cousin.

Justice Alliance

• Mookie crashlanding in a cactus farm.

Bad Lair Day

• The self-destruct mechanism in Captain Atomic's secret lair is a videotape titled "Mookie's Greatest Hits", because according to AP, nobody would want to watch anything about Mookie. Unfortunately, there was an exception.

• The hair growth gun.
• Joey's big grin when he, AP, and Mookie head down to Captain Atomic's former secret lair.

Master of Disaster

• Joey getting his family out of the house by sending them out to hunt for Bigfoot.

  Joey: Lucky for us, [the Sheath of Containment] fit inside AP.
  AP: Says you.
• Atomic Puppet attempts to take on the unnamed crocodile-guy.
  AP: We'll handle this, Pauline!
  (Atomic Puppet flies off-screen, only to be blasted back in seconds later)

• When AP remembers who the Sword of Enlightenment's owner is.
  AP: Time to visit an old frenemy.

• AP correcting Joey and Pauline with "second greatest" whenever they say Princess War Tickle is the greatest superhero ever.
• When Princess War Tickle calls Joey "the young lad with the arms of spaghetti", Joey just grimaces while AP looks at Joey in a "told ya so" manner.

  Warren: But I'm you biggest fan!
  Rex: Go on...
• Rex Bordeaux calls Joey "that spaghetti-armed kid", to which Joey flexes his arms to check.

Soft Spot

• How AP acts in almost the entirety of the episode — as a relaxed and mellow pacifist as a side effect, to Joey's frustration. Hilarity Ensues, naturally.
  Vivian: Notice anything different about your laundry, sweetie?
  Joey: Ummm...yeah.
• At the end of the episode when AP regains his fighting spirit.
  Joey (mockingly): What do you say? Victory hug?
  AP glares at him
  Joey: Too soon?
• Rex Bordeaux hosting his talk show with the gone-soft AP.

Media Darlings

• Von Follicle putting hair down Joey's shirt as a combat maneuver.
  Joey (scratching his back madly): Gah! There's nothing worse than hair down your back! (Von Follicle swats him to the ground) Okay, except for that.

Something Chicken

• Phil and Vivian competing at the country fair milking contest.
  Phil: Aw come on, it wasn't fair. My cow had a defective udder.

Bucket List

• One of the superhero challenges is outflying an airplane. Atomic Puppet does just that, going so fast that the plane ends up spinning in circles. When the plane stabilizes itself again, vomiting is heard.

Quick Draw

Atomic Goo

• The whole episode really, which sees Joey accidentally superglue his hand to AP, making their transformation permanent and causing hilarity to ensue.
• Captain Atomic used to pull the superglue prank on Mookie all the time, which Mookie would fix by sneaking into the Science Museum's electrical exhibits to shock it right off.

  Mookie (ashamed): That was a dark chapter in my life.
• The entire taco dinner scene.

AP vs Disastro II

• Phil bragging in front of the other cat owners auditioning their pets for the cat food commercial, which leads to a mob of angry cats and their owners chasing after him.
  Phil (fleeing for his life): Joey! Start the car!
• Why did Mintenberg turn Bubbles into an evil genius? Because he thought it would be hilarious to make the dumbest cat in Mega City one...but he forgot to install an eye camera in Bubbles, rendering his endeavor pointless.
  Mintenberg: Still, you can't blame a bored super-rich guy for trying.

Absorbo Lad

• "I never said you wouldn't use it. I just said it's a little big for a juicer." — Commander Cavalier on Robo-Ron's Tailor-Made Prison for Absorbo Lad.
• When the Justice Alliance gives Joey and AP mecha suits to defeat Absorbo Lad, Joey is cramped in a very small one while AP relaxes a very big one.
  Joey: I think we got our suits mixed up!
  AP: What are you talking about? Mine fits perfectly.
• Upon defeating Absorbo Lad
  Absorbo Lad: You haven't seen the last of meeeee!
  AP: Geez, even his evil catchphrases are lame.
• When Absorbo Lad imprisons the powerless Justice Alliance and Atomic Puppet.
  Joey: You're not going to get away with this!
  Absorbo Lad: Oh, really? And how are you going to stop me from inside a black hole.
  AP: You wouldn't!
  Absorbo Lad: Well, it was either that or toss you into the Sun.
  AP: Oh, so now you're stealing catchphrases!

• Rex Bordeaux begins his commentary.
  Rex: This is a game where anything could happen!...But it's soccer, so who knows?

Erlenmeyer's Revenge

• While "Erlenmeyer's Revenge" was generally a very dark episode, there are some moments, such as Erlenmeyer's king (who, keep in mind, is a horrifyingly mind-shattering alien from another dimension) asking her to make sure his favourite type of crackers are at his summoning. Yes, the Eldritch Abomination wants crackers first thing when he appears on Earth.
• Queen Mindbender hypnotizing Principal Thorpe into being her pet. He's quite puzzled when he regains his will and finds himself on all fours with a spiked collar on his neck.
• AP explaining to Pauline that Ms. Erlenmeyer is now Queen Mindbender.
  AP: And now she's come back...to bend minds!
  Pauline: Huh. Subtle.

Mole Men

• When the eponymous bad guys start sinking buildings.
  Rex: I'm Rex Bordeaux, downtown Mega City, where instead of running for their lives, citizens selfishly scramble in a feeble attempt to hold onto their insignificant possessions.

Tick'd Off

Surf 'N Turf

• Joey finds out who ate the hoagies.
  AP: Uuuggghhh.
  Joey: You didn't!
  AP: I did. And I regret it. You gotta tell your dad not to use so much mayonnaise if he's going to let his hoagies sit out in the sun all afternoon.
• When King Hydronomous agrees to let Atomic Puppet help him fight Megalo-Don, he hands over a tiny seaweed loincloth that would only fit on somebody of Hydronomous' size. Joey mistakes it for a headband until AP whispers into his ear.
  Joey: Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
  Hydronomous: (clears throat)
  Joey: Fine...(straps it on his waist)
• Joey and AP congratulate King Hydronomous when defeating Megalo-Don.
  Joey: Way to go, Hydronomous! You rocked out there!

Monster Truck Invasion

• When Zorp and Flert activate the heat lamps to cook the audience.
  Zorp: (slaps Flert's eyeballs out of his skull) Not that high, you fool! You're going to dry them out!
• Phil's excessive usage of his airhorn.
  Phil: Sorry, Joey. I'm just so pumped! Pumped! Pumped!

Snow Maniac

• Rex Bordeaux arguing with the offscreen weatherman.
• The Running Gag of AP and his hatred of the cold. At one bit, he's even trying to use ice cubes to start a fire.
  Abbie: There was one thing I didn't get though.
  Joey (pretending he didn't know about the episode's events): What was that?
  Abbie: The puppet wouldn't stop crying about how cold he was. If you ask me, he's kind of a wuss.
  Joey: Really? Never would have guessed.
  AP: Why I oughta— (Joey shoves AP back under him)
• Joey and AP's Spit Take when they see Abbie with the Snow Maniac on television.

Hero's Holiday

Brawl-For-All

• Rex Bordeaux's reaction to learning that Atomic Puppet weighs only 97 pounds, compared to the nearly 4,000 pound Manatee-Man.

  Joey: Alright, show us what you've got.
  Dyna-Moe: Well, I can milk chickens and get eggs from the cows in seconds flat!
  Joey: Uhhh, I think you've got those mixed up.
  Dyna-Moe: Well, that explains some things. Dang! This training's payin' off already!
• When battling the three-headed monster, Atomic Puppet attempts to use an Atomic Windmill, only to be roasted by the monster's fiery breath. Later on, they try the same move on Dirtbag, but he grabs them mid-air and slams them to the ground, leading to this remark.
  AP: We've gotta try some new moves.
• "That's enough of the banjo!" *smashes it*
• "Uh, Moe. You do know you're only wearing underwear now, right?" "Yep."

Mookie's Got the Power

• Among the random superpowers that Mookie develops is being able to conjure the World's Smallest Violin with his thoughts, which he uses to mock Joey and AP. Later becomes a Brick Joke when Mookie loses his powers. As he bemoans their loss, AP complains "Where's your tiny violin when we need it?"

  Joey: Woah! A talking monkey!
  AP: Chimp! They're very sensitive to the whole "monkey" thing. And of course he talks. (realizes just what happened) Actually, that's new.
  Zorp (monitoring from his spaceship): Ohhh, what?! Some real great research, Flert! Turns out chimps don't talk! (slaps Flert in the back of his head so hard, Flert's eyeballs fly out of his sockets) I'll have to improvise.
• AP addresses an inevitable subject on his old friendship with Buck.
  Joey: But don't chimps throw their own-
  AP: Oh, you're going to bring that up?! It was only once, and the poor guy did it out of self-defense!
  Joey: What? Ew!
• Zorp's frustration in the climactic fight scene.
  Zorp: Is it me or do these drones seem a tad ineffective?
  [...]
  Zorp: How hard is it to aim a laser?!
  [...]
  Zorp: Where's the monkey?
  [Flert shrugs]
  Zorp: What do you mean "euh"?! What's the point of having all this radar if you can't even find a stupid monkey?
• Buck awkwardly trying to wink when Zorp interprets AP's winking as some kind of signal.

These Shoes

• The Invisi-Shed. Really. Just the fact that Captain Atomic has an invisible shed in the Mega City park. It tends to accidentally inconvenience the birds and joggers too.

• "Not [Atomic Puppet] again! How many times do I have to tell you?! My name is Mudman! Scumbag's my uncle!"

Atomic Weakness

• Joey and AP are forced to turn to Professor Tite-Gripp to help them take the power-draining meteorite from Chief Kevlar after Pauline gets arrested. Tite-Gripp has absolutely no idea what he's doing the whole time, but he's incredibly eager for the opportunity to rampage and flip some cars.
  Tite-Gripp: It is I, Professor Tite-Gripp, and I have come to crush Mega City's new hero — Chief Kevin!
  Joey: It's Kevlar!
  Tite-Gripp: Noted.
  ...
  AP: Surrender Tite-Gripp, and we'll (Kevlar's meteorite starts to weaken them) go easy on you.
  Tite-Gripp (in Bad "Bad Acting"): Atomic Puppet! I've heard you've been replaced. (leans in and whispers) Can I flip the car now?
  AP: Knock yourself out.
• After helping Chief Kevlar defeat Professor Tite-Gripp, Joey and AP go off to do their Victory Pose, but they forget a plot point...
  Atomic Puppet: Aaand—
  Pauline (down at the police station): Hey! Whaddya guys forget about me?!
  (Atomic Puppet swoops back in)
  Atomic Puppet (holding Pauline in one arm): Victory Pose!

• When Chief Kevlar asks Joey and AP to stand aside and let him take on Professor Tite-Gripp.
  AP: I don't understand. What kind of hero doesn't want to share the spotlight?
  Joey: Are you hearing yourself right now?
• The crazy, ugly guy can be seen excitedly holding a sign depicting the Earth being destroyed by the meteor when one hurtles to Mega City. He's pretty saddened when Atomic Puppet saves the day.

  Rex (as a meteorite hurls towards Mega City): Oh thank goodness, Atomic Puppet! Save me! (Chief Kevlar glares at Rex and he turns back at the camera nervously) I mean, us.
• Atomic Puppet tries to convince a guard wearing shades to let them in:
  AP: Alright compadre, I can see you're a busy guy, but I'm going to need you to let me into Cellblock 6. It's a...top-secret mission.
  Joey: Super top-secret.
  (no response)
  AP: Hey! You hearing the words I'm wrangling, cowboy!
  (still no response)
  AP: Old timer. Tough nut to crack.
  Joey: Like he's got ice in his veins.

• Rex Bordeaux swallowing a bug in the middle of his report.
  Rex: It's at a time like this, when the city is searching for answers [to the massive swarms of insects flying towards the Science Museum], that I, Rex Bordeaux, take great pride in being a pillar of strength for the city to lean on. (starts coughing and flailing) I think one of them flew in my mouth! This is ridiculous! Twenty years on television, and I've never — Forget it! Let some other sucker cover this! (camera goes static)
• When Joey starts to feel ill from the mutation into Worm Boy.

  Pauline: Probably just the boxed lunch.

• "It's all safe to come out now! And unless that weird kid in the corner is going to get crazy, there will be no nudity!" — AP after disposing Mookie's Fabric Destroyer Bomb.
• AP's insistence that Mookie is a master of deception. His basis? A shoddily made video by Mookie featuring a cutout of Captain Atomic voiced by Mookie telling the people of Mega City that he wants Mookie to be his successor. AP was the only one who fell for it.

Parallel Puppet

• Joey and AP drop off their evil doppelgangers Commander Atomic and Puppet Boy at Mookie's place, so that they can talk to Dr. Momus about sending them back. The catch is that Commander Atomic and Puppet Boy believe Mookie is the one from their universe — Mookay, who is a mighty superhero with Manly Facial Hair . Cue a montage of Mookie (wearing a fake mustache) making them do all his chores, pamper him, and tell him stories about his feats as Mookay while they cower in terror.

  Rex Bordeaux: Would I [like to know]? Cue the graphics!
  (a picture of a muscled, shirtless Rex riding a tiger while holding up a warhammer in a lightning storm appears)
  Announcer: This is a Rex Bordeaux exclusive!
  (the tiger roars, complete with poorly animated mouth movement)
• The way AP and all the adults in Mega City act when they get their minds turned into that of little kids by Queen Mindbender.
  Rex Bordeaux: When I grow up, I wanna be a big star! With a big mustache and big muscles!
• When Joey brings his kiddified family to help him foil Queen Mindbender, Phil has a Potty Failure on the way. Then when everybody gets their minds back to normal (with no memory of what happened), it turns into a Brick Joke.

• Vivian's^note She hasn't been hit by Queen Mindbender's spell yet overreaction to finding scribbles on the wall made by the kiddified AP that Joey takes the blame for.

Pinched Nerves

• AP sleeptalking about throwing Mookie into the Sun.

Mintenberg's Armour

• A little one, but the Powered Armour's helicopter form wears bunny slippers.
• Mintenberg playing around with his Powered Armour's abilities on a run-of-the-mill thief.

  Mintenberg: Finally! After all this time, I get to hunt you for sport.

Claude Returns

• The name Captain Atomic chose for his clone...Claude (pronounced clode; like "cloned" without the "n"). Joey is completely unimpressed.
• When AP explains to Joey that he created Claude to do public appearances while he was fighting crime.
  Joey (holding a bunch of autographed items): Sooo, all this stuff you signed for me? Was that you or Claude?
  AP: Ummmm...that was me! Yeah, that was all totally me!
• The mutated Claude delivering a beatdown on Atomic Puppet.
  Joey: Oooh, that Claude's got a punch
  AP: (Claude's third arm wacks AP) And a slap!

  Pauline: I though you'd be all suited up and ready to go by now?
  Joey: I know! My dad wasn't quitting on those pancakes.
• Phil's impatience to go to the pancake house for the limited edition Atomic Puppet pancakes. When they get there, he proceeds to raise a big fuss over the slow service, to Vivian's annoyance.
• While also rather dark, Mookie's attempts to make small talk with the other supervillains in prison are chuckle-worthy.
  Mookie (nervously): Hey, Dirtbag. (Dirtbag puts some slop on his tray) Mmmm...looks yummy...Oh, look! There's even a little bit of corn in there! (Dirtbag snarls menacingly)
  (Mookie takes a seat)
  Professor Tite-Gripp: Mookie....
  Mookie (nervously): Don't you mean Sergeant Subatomic?
  Professor Tite-Gripp: Come. Here.
