Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

  • The English dub of OAV part 6 sneaks a Woolseyism into an otherwise straight scene.
    Pinoko: Look what the postman brought! It's a package... I just hope it's not from the organ donor institute.
  • From the manga story "The Boy and the Bird":
    • The story opens with Pinoko's attempt at house-cleaning, where her trying to get rid of a spider results in her being swarmed by them.
    • Later, Black Jack gently chides Pinoko for childishly crying after falling out of a tree, which inspires Pinoko to try crying in a more adult fashion:
      Pinoko: (While Biting the Handkerchief and lying in a dramatic "languishing" pose) "Is this how gwown-ups cwy? Alas..."
      Black Jack:(Smiling) Not quite…”
  • The 2005 movie has a small short at the beginning telling people to turn off their phones. To elaborate, Black Jack is about to start an operation, but is interrupted by someone's phone going off. He interrogates Pinoko, then the other doctors in the room, who include Astro Boy and Tezuka himself, before it's revealed that the phone belongs to the patient and everyone chews him out. Watch it here.
  • Jack, quite naturally, does not want to eat Pinoko's utterly burned first attempt at cooking. However...
    Jack: !!!
  • This quote from the good doctor in Cold Disdain illustrates the series pretty well:
    Black Jack: The sensible operations that you performed ended in failure. I'm going to practice a little nonsense instead.
  • The outtakes from the TV anime are often really funny. Some highlights include:
    • Pinoko skating on the floor at Tom's using an abacus... and then being shortly joined by Black Jack.
    • One of the terrorists in an episode accidentally fires his gun, revealing it to be a huge squirt gun that sprays his boss.
    • In an adaption of the aforementioned spider scene, Pinoko accidentally whacks Black Jack with her broom. As he falls he quotes Pinoko's signature "Acchonburike!".
    • Watou inexplicably appearing in a skimpy swimsuit and running off the set in embarrassment. Whilst Black Jack tries to makes sense of what happened, Jaws is wide-eyed and blushing.
    • Largo the dog talking.
    • More than a few have Hyoutan-Tsugi doing what he does best: appearing completely inexplicably and out of nowhere.
    • Ambassador Magma in place of one of the bombing suspects in one episode.
