As a moments page, all spoilers are unmarked, as per policy!

Basically the entire series constitutes, but here are some of the best examples:

    open/close all folders 

    Episode 1 
  • Blue and Pink shunning Charlie as a non-believer:
    Charlie: Alright, guys, you do know that there's no actual Candy Mountain, right?
    Blue: Shun the non-believer!'
    Pink: Shuuuuuun!
    Blue: Shhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuu-nah.
    Charlie: ...Yeah.
  • The entire bridge scene:
    Blue: Charlie! Chaaaarlie! Chaarlie! Chaa-
    Charlie: I'm right here, what do you want?!
    (Beat)
    Blue: ...We're on a bridge, Charlie!
  • The Candy Mountain letters spontaneously exploding after their song.
    Charlie: Alright, fine! I'll go into the freakin' candy cave!
  • The ending:
    Charlie: Augh, what happened? (Looks down) Aw, they took my freakin' kidney!

    Episode 2 
  • Blue and Pink scuba diving in the air.
    Blue: Glub, glub! Glub, glub! Glub, glub! Glub, glub! Glub, glub! Look over there! It's a coral reef!
    Charlie: Ah, look, it's you guys! ...And you're floating.
    Blue: Charlie, we're scuba diving, Charlie!
    Pink: We're exploring the depths of the ocean blue!
    Blue: Oh no! Here comes a school of poisonous fugu fish!
    Pink: NOOOO! FUGU!
  • Seconds later:
    Blue: Charlie, we're being pulled into the vortex!
    Pink: Swim away, fugu fish! Swim away!
  • Charlie's confusion over the other unicorns' genders:
    Charlie: Guys? Guys? ...Or girls! I'm really not sure what you two are.
  • Blue returning from the vortex:
    Blue: Charlie! Charlie, I have the amulet!
    Charlie: What amulet, what's going on?!
    Blue: The amulet, Charlie! The magical amulet! Sparkle, sparkle!
    Pink: Sp-Sparkle!!
  • Charlie's reaction to seeing the green ...thing at the temple:
    Charlie: What is that?
    Charlie: No, no really. You guys see it, right?
    Charlie: I gotta be honest, I'm getting freaked out here! Somebody say something!
  • "Oh, of course, it burst into flames..."

    Episode 3 
  • Quickly! Grab onto our tongues! *Blegh!*
    Charlie: Ohhh, that is so gross...
  • The utter magnificence of THE DOOR! Nah.
    Pink: To get to the snowman, we first need to pass... The Door.
    Blue: The Door!
    Charlie: The door?
    Pink: Th-The Door!
    Charlie: [What is the door?
    Blue: The Door is everything!
    Pink: All that once was and all that will be!
    Blue: The Door controls time and space!
    Pink: Love and death!
    Blue: THE DOOR CAN SEE INTO YOUR MIND!
    Pink: THE DOOR CAN SEE INTO YOUR SOUL!
    Charlie: Really? Th... The Door can do all that?
    Pink: Heh, no.

    Episode 4 
  • After Blue and Pink tell Charlie about the millipede:
    Charlie: It's obvious I have no actual choice here. How about we save some time and go to the freakin' moon?
    Blue: Oh my god, that would be amazing!
    (The screen flips upside down and Charlie floats towards the moon.)
    Charlie: I don't understand how you can do these things!
  • When Charlie has a "bug" on his face.
    Blue: This is the police. We have you surrounded, Mr. Bug.''
    Charlie: Uh huh.
    Pink: Taser him!
    *Zap!*
    Pink: He's resisting arrest!
    *Zap!*
    Pink: He's got a gun!
    *Zap!*
    Pink: He's got another gun!
    *Zap!*
  • The Millipede exploding after its musical number:
    Blue: You did it, Charlie! You defeated the Millipede!
    Charlie: It just exploded! LIKE EVERYTHING DOES WHEN IT SINGS TO ME!!!

    The Grand Finale 
  • The Order of Tutelary Weasels are hilariously neurotic about everything, constantly complaining about Nyx inconveniencing them for happening to make a request at night, while forcing Nyx to repeatedly stand out in the rain. When Nyx asks about just coming back later, the Weasels reply that suggesting it just insults them further.
  • Norwell (and presumably the rest of the weasels) never went into the catacombs beneath the tower... because he once saw an "upsetting looking bat" down there and ran away. Nyx, meanwhile, just walks past it.
  • Blue and Pink make zero effort to give an accurate name to the Sealed Evil in a Can, and clearly just start making things up for kicks.
    Blue: The Wabbawongol has been released!
    Pink: Nooooo! Not the Wabbawonk!
    Blue: Yes, the mighty Wabwak, back again.
    Charlie: (Sighing, clearly unimpressed) The what?
    Pink: The Wakwonk, it's coming for us all.
    Blue: And if you've ever been witness to a Wackawang attack, you know it's no joke. (Inexplicably explodes into confetti, then comes right back.) It'll be like that everywhere soon, if we don't stop them!
    Charlie: I just want you to know before you force me along, that I do not believe one single word of this nonsense.
    Pink: Even Wackawong?
    Blue: Well, you know what? You're Wackawrong.
    • The whole time, Charlie has his eyes closed like he's having a migrane.
  • Instead of an elaborate production in Pink and Blue getting Charlie to go wherever they want him to go, this time the trio just get swept up in a rainbow while Charlie groans. The Smash Cut to them already on the road makes it extra funny.
  • The first episode's song. By now, Charlie knows all the songs are just Pink and Blue messing with him, and the two of them know he knows, so this time they just drop the song on him at random and have it passive aggressively call him a buzzkill, and he just stands there glaring without engaging at all. They make the typical ending extra spooky, though.
    • The dolphin singing the song keeps making Immediate Self Contradictions.
      Charlie the Unicorn, have a seat, please make yourself at home
      Charlie the Unicorn... what are you doing inside of my house?!
      Charlie the Unicorn, please come in, sit anywhere you like
      Charlie the Unicorn—Not the good chair, get off of it you fool!
  • Nyx runs into Norwell as a ghost who now has a keyboard. When asked how he got it, Norwell says he accidentally scared an old musician to death and "just sort of yoinked it" then admits he's been going through something of a crisis and asks if Nyx wants to hear a song.
    Norwell: Full disclosure. I'm not very good and I don't handle criticism well.
    • Norwell's song itself, which is about how he went out shopping for a coat only to meet a living, talking coat which he ended up buying and marrying. He goes on to say that while he loves his coat husband he still needs a normal lifeless coat for inclement weather and the coat sings about how sad he is that Norwell can't wear him due to the terms of the witch's curse that brought him to life.
  • While flying, Blue's voice takes on a far more sinister, raspy electronic tone as they ask Charlie how he can be sure that he's the real Charlie the Unicorn. They then reveal the real Charlie died of exposure following Episode 3 when Pink and Blue used Charlie's horn and kidney to make a Snowman, and then that Snowman was given Charlie's memories and went on the adventures Charlie's been going on. Charlie begins doubting his identity and the creepy music swells as images from past episodes are shown with the Snowman inserted in Charlie's place until—
    Charlie: Wait a minute! That's the, uh, Choo-Choo-Shoe. That's before I even saw the snowman!
    (Scene cuts back to Charlie, Pink and Blue riding the rainbow)
    Blue: (talking normally) Oh yeah, my bad.
  • The scene with the "birds".
    Blue: Charlie, look! It's a lovely swan.
    (A swan floats down from above, bearing fat, human baby-like thighs and a pair of puckered human lips.)
    Swan: Urrrurrr!
    Charlie: Uh...
    Swan: URRRREEEeEEEeerrr!
    Pink: What a big beautiful boy!
    (The swan gives Charlie a kiss on the nose.)
    Charlie: Sure.
    (An eagle floats in with similar freaky traits.)
    Pink: Oh my! It's a sensuous golden eagle!
    Eagle: Scrawrr.
    Charlie: Wow, that is a bird.
    Eagle: Strrrrawerrr.
    Blue: Look at those luscious beak lips!
    (The eagle kisses Charlie twice.)
    Charlie: Grazie.
    (Next is an emu. With only one eye.)
    Pink: (Gasps) An emu! What a rare treat!
    Emu: Blablablablabla!
    Blue: What's that big old boy doin' up here?
    Eagle: Blablablablablablabla!
    Charlie: You don't have to kiss me.
    (The emu kisses him.)
    Charlie: Alright...
    (Next up is...)
    Pink: Woah! Is that...?
    Blue: The dreaded condor!
    Condor: Blah blah blah!
    Charlie: Oh no.
    Pink: Be careful with this spicy girl, she might—
    • The bit resumes after Starfish stops freezing time.
      Pink: —give you a big ol' spicy kiss.
      (The condor kisses him.)
      Blue: Aww.
      Pink: Now you're married and gonna have a baby!
  • A Running Gag throughout the finale is Starfish freezing time so he can force Charlie to absorb a magical item in the hopes it will help him survive the vague ordeal to come. Each magical item is disgusting magical and includes a magic mollusk, some magic mucus and a magic foot. After a certain point, Charlie goes from objecting to just resigned.
    Starfish: Charlie, honey-bun, I bring more magic for you to consume.
    Charlie: Is it gross magic?
    Starfish: It's mucus from the enchanted flesh orb.
    Charlie: Mucus... from the enchanted flesh orb?
    Starfish: Yes, my lamb, it's the most powerful mucus in the world.
    Charlie: Y'know what? Sure. Whatever. Toss it in me.
    Starfish: Thank you, Charlie. You shall be mighty with mucus magic.
    Charlie: (absorbs mucus) Wow. That feels terrible.
  • At one point during their journey, Pink's head goes flying off. Then a bunch of pink goo leaks from the open neck wound. Then Pink's head regenerates as a lizard head.
    Charlie: Are you okay?
    (Several more lizard heads grow off of the first lizard head)
    Charlie: You realize you don't need to go to these lengths to make me uncomfortable? I'm always uncomfortable.
  • This absolute gem:
    Blue: Close your eyes, Charlie.
    Charlie: Why? Is something gonna happen?
    Blue: Yes, something wonderful! Close your eyes.
    Charlie: Ugh. Alright fine.
    Blue: I want you to picture a circle.
    Charlie: Sure.
    (The screen goes black and a circle appears.)
    Blue: Now I want you to imagine that circle in a beautiful meadow.
    Charlie: Why not.
    Blue: You're feeling very relaxed in this meadow. With your beautiful blue circle.
    Charlie: The circle's supposed to be blue?
    Blue: Uh, what?
    Charlie: You didn't tell me to picture a blue circle.
    Blue: It should be blue, Charlie.
    Charlie: Well, it's not.
    Blue: What color is the circle?
    Charlie: It's just white.
    (Something within the circle starts to fade into vision very slowly.)
    Blue: Oh, no! Charlie! Charlie, get out of there!
    Charlie: What?
    Blue: Get out of there, Charlie!
    Charlie: Wait, there's something in the circle!
    Blue: Charlie! Charlie, open your eyes!
    Charlie: I-I can't! Why can't I open them?!
    Blue: Nooooo! I'm so sorry!
    Charlie: It's getting closer, what do I do?!
    Blue: I don't know, this wasn't supposed to happen!
    Charlie: Oh god, OH GOD!
    Blue: Charlie! Charlie, I just realized something!
    Charlie: What?!
    (The image comes into full view to reveal Blue mooning Charlie.)
    Blue: You're looking at my butt!
    (Cut back to Blue and Charlie; Charlie opens his eyes and glares at Blue angrily, while Blue just looks at him with a shit-eating grin.)
  • After the Cube Demon kills and possesses Krell, Norwell's ghost decides to leave.
    Norwell: Why am I still here? I don't want to watch this. (disappears in a puff of smoke then reappears a second later) I guess I'm protector of the Tower, I should probably stay, right? Yeah.
    Cube Demon: Yeah, stay! You've done a great job so far, buddy!
    Norwell: Hey! You killed me, you can't razz me too.
  • When Charlie meets Nyx in Part Four, things in his life are so stupidly outrageous that he does not initially believe that Nyx is being genuine about the severity of the situation.
  • Norwell the Weasel's ghost sings a somber song about how he and the other Tutelary Weasels died. It's undercut by his Coat Husband rapping about how hot he thinks Norwell's butt is.
  • After his adventure's over, Charlie is reunited with Starfish in his true form as a starfish-centaur.
    Startaur: How wonderful it is to finally greet you in my true form. I am Startaur, first turned into a wheel by a misguided sorcerer and then into a starfish by a traumatized ghost.
    Charlie: That's quite a life you've had.
    Startaur: HA! Yes! Although it is nothing compared to the life that still awaits! You and I shall—(suddenly shouts in pain and stumbles backwards off a cliff only to shortly reappear as a ghost) That was a perfectly natural heart attack, Charlie.
    Charlie: Oh.
    Startaur: It seems as if our time together has been cut tragically short.
    Charlie: That sucks.
    Startaur: (begins slowly floating up into the sky) Think of me when you chance to gaze upon the heavens at night. I will be staring back upon your beautiful body from the stars.
    Charlie: Ok.
    Startaur: (stops and remains floating a few feet above Charlie) How is this, my sweet?
    Charlie: You're a bit low.
    Startaur: (floats a few inches higher) How about this?
    Charlie: Perfect.
  • After the end of the fifth and final "adventure" between the Pink and Blue unicorns and Charlie, Pink and Blue begin making their big pretend reveal. Charlie is not inclined to play along.
    Charlie: Are you gonna kill me now or can I go home?

  • In regards to charlie "killing" starfish.
    starfish's cousin: Oh my god! Why would you even do that?
    blue unicron: It was probably sexual!
