Season Two

    Episode 1: Where is Josh's Friend? 
  • During the song "Love Kernels," a parody of Beyonce's Lemonade, Rebecca breaks the fourth wall and sings that the music video ate up their production budget. In fact, they used every last cent on the music video, so Darryl will now be played by a broom on a stand. Complete with a close up of Broom Darryl (who has a mustache).
  • Rebecca desperately wants Paula to help her find Greg.
    Rebecca: Please, please, please, please. You're so good at this stuff. You're so good at it. It would be so easy for you.
    Paula: [squirming uncomfortably] Uh, is your foot on my crotch?
    Rebecca: [blinks, straightens up] ...I'm sorry, I forgot what I was trying to do here.

     Episode 2: When Will Josh See How Cool I Am? 

  • Rebecca's transparent attempt to pretend that she doesn't hate football.
    Rebecca: I don't hate football. I, I get why it's fun, it just kind of propagates the ideology of physical dominance andtheeconomicsubjugationoftheworkingpoor. Plus the concussions. It should be illegal. [laughs weakly] LOL!
  • Paula's song "Maybe This Dream", which starts out as a Disney princess hope song and by the end gets caught up in a Metaphorgotten to do with what it's like when Paula's running and she gets menstrual cramps and then needs to take a dump.
  • Greg attempting to be casual to the guys about coming to terms with his alcoholism:
    Greg: I'm sorry I've been M.I.A. And that I lied to you. My mom didn't have botched plastic surgery. Though she did get her nose done recently and it looks amazing. But the truth is, I have been dealing with some things.
    White Josh: Like?
    Greg: Like...[hastily] I got a DUI, spent a night in jail, turns out I'm an alcoholic. I've been going to meetings and I'm trying to stay sober. That's it, bingo, bango, done. Beers? [shoves beers at them]
  • "Greg's Drinking Song", a jolly Oirish drinking song about what it's like to be a hopeless alcoholic who throws up on his own cat and recklessly endangers other people's lives.
  • The bikers in Greg's AA group take donuts very, very seriously.
    Hubcap: Your boy never showed with the donuts.
    Guardrail: Shut up, Hubcap.
    Hubcap: You never put the new guy on donuts.
    Guardrail: Yeah, I know. I thought he could handle it.

     Episode 3: All Signs Point to Josh...Or Is It Josh’s Friend? 

  • Survival Mantra: Dr. Akopian puts up with Rebecca's complete refusal to take her advice, and quiets her doubts about whether it's ethical to go on charging Rebecca given that Rebecca won't listen to her, by reminding herself what she's going to spend the money on.
    Dr. Akopian: The kayak, Noelle. Remember the kayak.
  • After Rebecca finds out she's not pregnant cause she's on her period, she insists that she and Josh do some period sex. Then she starts singing about Period Sex, until Josh interrupts her... and the laughter stops.
  • The entirety of The Math of Love Triangles.

     Episode 4: When Will Josh and His Friend Leave Me Alone? 

  • "This Was a Shit-Show". If Greg had to say farewell, a "My Way" parody was the way to do it.
  • All of "We Tapped That Ass," but the song goes from funny to fucking hilarious when Xander, Rebecca's one-time fling in a season one episode, turns up out of nowhere, just to announce that he, too, tapped that ass.

     Episode 5: Why is Josh's Ex-Girlfriend Eating Carbs? 

  • The Running Gag of Susie Reynolds, Valencia's awesome old schoolfriend who had lice, grew up in a tent city and got her clothes from a Dumpster but who has since become a state senator.
  • "Did we just drink drugs?"
    • Triceratops Rebecca.
  • Rebecca pulls down her pants and her keys fall on the floor.
    Valencia: Wow, you really were keeping your keys in your underwear.
    Rebecca: Yes, in my underwear. That's where they were. Yes.
  • Sherpa Allen telling Josh that "Your equipment smells delicious", after Rebecca and Valencia have pissed all over it.
  • At the end, Rebecca boasting that she no longer trims her pubic hair because of the patriarchy. Valencia is interested and asks Rebecca to show her, and Rebecca enthusiastically does so.

     Episode 6: Who Needs Josh When You Have A Girl Group? 

  • The Croisstazzinut. Part croissant, part donut, part Danish pastry, part pizza.
  • The entirety of "Friendtopia." Like "Feeling Kinda Naughty", it goes from cutesy to disturbing very quickly (e.g. "We're going to braid each other's hair, then cut each other's braids, connect the braids, to build a rope to hang all of Congress!"), since the entire song is about using the power of their friendship to stage a coup and take over the world and establish a dictatorship. The girls' fake British accents add to the hilarity.
    • There's also the fact that, even once they've taken over the world, they still can't get into the one sushi joint they're complaining about. They really aren't joking when they say it's exclusive.
  • Darryl and Maya's stunningly ill-timed dance-based intervention in Rebecca and Paula's argument, which is videoed by Heather and which gets 1800 Likes.
    • Also, the looks on the faces of Rebecca, Paula, Valencia, Sunil and Heather as they watch, which could be described as "What-the-ever-living-fuck?!"
  • The Running Gag of people trying to avoid telling Rebecca her home just happens to have been the spot for a mass murder of drug dealers.
  • Rebecca deciding to have sex with Trent, and the disparity between his worshipful attitude and her being a very practical Ethical Slut:
    Trent: No, it is I who should thank you. For taking my virginity.
    Rebecca: No. No, I n-no, I didn't.
    Trent: Yes, you did. Do you want to take it again?
    Rebecca: ...Eh, okay. [He leans over to kiss her] No, no, no, no. You got to pay the toll first, buddy. [shoves him down under the bedclothes in the direction of her nethers; squirms] ...Okay. Come on. There we go. This is my favorite.

     Episode 7: Who's the Cool Girl Josh Is Dating? 

     Episode 8: Who Is Josh's Soup Fairy? 

  • After a season and a half of being The Silent Bob, Mrs. Hernandez finally talks and screams at Rebecca to shut up thinking she's the reason Paula is upset. Rebecca just stares with mouth gaping while Paula has a stunned look as well.
    Rebecca: You...you talk?
    Mrs. Hernandez: I talk all the time. You're too busy staring at the Narcissus pond of your bewitching self to even notice.
    Rebecca: Wow. You're mean...and poetic.
    • After their talk concludes, Rebecca asks for advice and Mrs. H just shrugs.
      Rebecca: Really? We're back to that?
  • Tommy is quite the Deadpan Snarker.
    Rebecca: It's not that big a deal. All I got to do is keep you alive for 48 hours.
    Tommy: Really? That's where we're setting the bar?
  • Heather does tough love:
    Rebecca: Oh, this is such a Rebecca Bunch move! Because all I had to do was keep him alive for 48 hours and instead, no, no. I lost him and I'm putting him in danger, 'cause I—I'm selfish and I'm stupid! I'm stupid, I'm stupid!
    Heather: [Beat] Oh, if you're waiting for me to disagree with you, that's not gonna happen.
  • After Rebecca finally brings herself to confess to having lost Tommy at the club:
    Paula: So he just ran around a club and took an Uber home? [laughs with relief] Oh, God. Honey, I lost him for an entire weekend at the mall once. He was living in the Barnes & Noble. [sighs] He was so happy there.

     Episode 9: When Do I Get To Spend Time With Josh? 

  • Rebecca coming over all macho to impress the very white, male, heterosexual, sexist, anti-semitic golf club owners Whitworth and Stonebrow.
    Rebecca: Mr. Whitworth, Mr. Stonebrow, I would like to start by saying that I think your country club is exclusive in the best way. I mean, I would never be accepted due to my gender and heritage, and good for you guys for keeping it old school.
  • Nathaniel distracting Rebecca with his handsomeness so that she can't hear Josh as anything but a yammering, malapropising twit.
    Josh: Blah, blah, puka shells, blah, blah, karate, blah, blah, blah, sleeping in my old twin bed, blah, blah, intensive purposes.
  • "Who's The New Guy?" and its absolutely shameless Lampshade Hanging of the introduction of a new character.
    Who's the new guy? I don't trust him.
    Is he going to be a mainstay of our lives?
    Is this someone new we're gonna have to grow to care about?
    Why should we root for someone male, straight and white?

     Episode 10: Will Scarsdale Like Josh's Shayna Punim? 
  • Heather in "We'll Never Have Problems Again".
    Heather: Fine, I guess I'll just Soul Train out of here, losers.
    [Heather dances her way off the set, complete with Shaking the Rump, touching her finger to her own ass if it's red hot, and Truckin']
  • Nathaniel appropriates Rebecca's treadmill desk, and comments that "Took maintenance a while to get out the hot dog smell." When Rebecca sees it, she says "Oh, you found my old hot dog cooker."
  • Darryl’s oblivious attempts to confirm that he’s Nathaniel’s "Number Two", which become a hurricane of poop jokes.
  • Dr. Akopian is literally in tears when Rebecca finally admits she has so many massive problems and it's time to take responsibility for it.
    Dr. Akopian: Cancel my next five appointments!
    • When Josh comes in to propose to Rebecca, Dr. Akopian starts screaming at him to stop as he's ruining Rebecca's final breakthrough.
  • The DJ at the Bat Mitzvah saying that his Grandma is a Holocaust survivor with the most somber expression on his face.
  • Rebecca’s brutal, deadpan takedown of Audra:
    Rebecca: Right. Say, remember when I had sex with your husband? Yeah, as he finished, he called me "Mom". Have fun unpacking that. Mazel tov.

     Episode 11: Josh Is the Man Of My Dreams, Right? 

     Episode 12: Is Josh Free in Two Weeks? 
  • "(Tell Me I’m Okay) Patrick" is a mostly serious song, but then it cuts to Patrick and Rebecca Sexy Sitting On A Piano while the piano is played by, of all things, a cardboard box.

     Episode 13: Can Josh Take A Leap Of Faith?
