Funny / Elephant & Piggie

• "A Big Guy Took My Ball!":
  • When Gerald asks, "What makes big guys think they're so big?!", Piggie responds, "Their size?".
  • Gerald upon finding out that the "big guy" is a whale:
    Gerald: "That is a BIG guy. You did not say how big he was. He is very BIG. He is bigger than I am. Much bigger! I am smaller than he is. Much smaller. He is so BIGGY-BIG-BIG!"
• In "Let's Go for a Drive", Gerald and Piggie want to go for a drive, only to belatedly realise they have no car.
• In "Can I Play Too?", Gerald and Piggie end up playing catch with Snake by using him as the ball.
• "I Will Take a Nap" starts out normally with Gerald and Piggie trying to nap together, but then things start to get surreal like Piggie floats and her head turns into a turnip. Then, it turns out that Gerald was dreaming.
• In one book, Gerald and Piggie get invited to a party, but Gerald worries that it's a "fancy pool costume" party. He turns out to be right.
• "We Are in a Play":
  • In "Don't Go," Gerald is upset because Piggie has said she is going, like in the book I Am Going. However, this time around, it turns out that Piggie is going because she is having a Potty Emergency, and thus Gerald's singing and pleading for her not to go was keeping her from going to the bathroom.
  • In the song "We Are in a Play," Gerald and Piggie realize that they are in a play.
    • Piggie sings that this means that they have the power and people to manipulate. This follows up with a series of Audience Participation gags. This doesn't come across quite as well on the album version, which was clearly recorded in a studio instead of in front of a live audience, but is still amusing nonetheless.
    • They make the audience dance, and tell the adults of the audience that they must do so too - "Make your arms all flippy, floppy, flory / Grown-ups too, it's obligatory!" They specify that this includes any teachers and principals that might be in the audience. This one is almost too much for Gerald, though one can imagine them calling out anyone that tries not to participate.
  • The ending song "We've Been Lucky" includes the line "Hangin' out, all of us / And no pigeon, or his bus... ew!"
• In "There is a Bird on My Head", when Piggie sees that the birds are in love, she comments, "They're lovebirds".
