Act One
- Vella comes across a mumbling sentient tree and hits it with an axe. The tree opens its mouth and screams "murderer!", prompting Vella to throw the axe away as an act of peace... only for the axe to hit another tree off-screen.
- All of Shay's "distress signals" count, but the Friendship Circle one is the best. Shay goes to a dark corner, with a lone light shining on a plushie that's crying. Shay gets closer and asks what's wrong. The plushie says that there was an attack, then tons of plushies come out of nowhere and give Shay a hug attack.
- The sabotaging of Shay's train mission is noteworthy. Considering all the baby crap that Shay's been put through, the imminent doom of plummeting adorable plushies unto extremely sharp rocks has never been so funny. It all ends with the rocks being revealed to be pillows. Shay's excited face through all this can really best describe this situation.
- To drive the hilarity home, Shay is whooping in delight while his plush buddies are screaming in terror and saying things like "I'm sure he had his reasons!"
- To drive home the point of how much he's happy to face some true danger, later in Act 2 he's overjoyed to be attacked by the snake, to the point the snake gets tired constricting him and passes out.
- The whole Maidens' Feast is one morbidly funny take on human sacrifice to an Eldritch Abomination. The various towns treat it more like a beauty pageant rather than a religious ceremony or something like that manner. Special mention goes to Sugar Bunting's treatment. The girls are all dressed in food themed outfits that just scream that they want to be devoured. No, seriously, they all have phrases to that effect embroidered on them, not to mention the maidens themselves screaming it.
- When Shay uses the sentient, talking kitchen knife on a spacewalk, it bounces off the ship and nearly hits him. It doesn't do any damage and goes spinning off into space:Knife: I'm FREE! Free to cleave the infinite void of space itself!Shay: Well, that's a relief. For a lot of reasons.
- When presented with a piece of wood, Curtis the lumberjack says he feels a stool coming on. What he says catches Vella off-guard before she realizes he's actually talking about chairs. Afterwards, Curtis gives her his stool as he likes spreading his samples around.
- Mom thinks that Shay may have a "delayed fracture" and insistence upon him being hurt after the sabotage mentioned above followed by Shay's remark that there is no such thing can get a small chuckle.
- Ch't and Walt'r's initial conversation with Vella often includes them answering her questions in the form of cult mantra. And apparently Ch't likes to make up slogans of his own sometimes.Ch't: Stay on the twigs or you'll ... eat a pig!Walt'r: No freestyling, Ch't.Ch't: Sorry, Pop.
- When Vella threatens the bird on Meriloft that kept knocking down M'ggie's ladder hooks from its nest.
- "Come back here and get your comeuppance! ...On second thought, don't come back until you get some pants."
- F'ther watching Vella falling from the heights of Meriloft to the forest floor below..."Oh no! My BOWLS!"
Act Two
- The first thing Vella does when she meets Shay is try and punch him out, only to end up in the "Mog" as he slowly moves out of the way and she misses.
- Shay is relieved when he learns that Alex is in fact not him in the future. (He brushes a hand through his full head of hair and glances at Alex's receding hairline as he says this.)
- On a slightly more elaborate note, Shay and Alex assume they are each other from different points in time because they both wear Operation Dandelion attire and are white dudes with brown hair. After they realize they are actually two different people, Shay's dad walks in and assumes Alex is HIM from the past, also because of his attire and similar physical appearance. Alex just rolls his eyes and Shay has to explain that they're all separate human beings. But it's still pretty funny.
- Once aboard the ship, Vella stumbles across a trophy room devoted to Shay, with a number of awards - but somehow he placed second in "Shoe Tying".
- This is made even funnier because one of Shay's puzzles involves an intricate knot, which he needs help to solve.
- It's noteworthy that Shay is the only person aboard the ship who wears laced shoes. He somehow got second place in a competition where he was the only participant.
- When Marek's true colors show, he tries to invoke Exact Words. Mom being a computer? He never said that. Mom being behind the kidnappings? He never said that. He wasn't really trapped under that debris? He never... Well, okay, you got him on that one.
- Everything about Vella and Dutch's interactions, if not Dutch in general."I don't want to fork that."
- Both Shay and Grandpa Brommel considering knocking out Alex with either a mallet or a cane, because Alex keeps shutting off the power when the death ray gets too hot. Turns out that's not how you end up getting him out of the way though.
- When someone asks Vella where Marekai is after she apparently blows him up, one of the dialogue options is asking what PART of him they wanted to see..
