- The first chapter of the pilot three-parter perfectly sets the tone for the comedic parts of this series. Beast Man enters a chamber of Snake Mountain, bearing a lizard-like creature around his neck.
Evil-Lyn: Must you bring vermin in here?
Beast Man: It's not 'vermin', Evil-Lyn- it's an ecto-eel!
- In the premiere, Mer-Man has located a crystal Skeletor needs to break through the Mystic Wall keeping him contained, and arrives covered in mud. He approaches Skeletor to present him the crystal, then stops, cleans the crystal on Beast Man's fur, and presents Skeletor the crystal.
- Later, Clawful and Whiplash have set up the machine, and Clawful shows us his superior intelligence:
Clawful: "Heeeeeey, heeeeeey, it's not working!"
Tri-Klops *irritated*: "Try pushing the button."
- Adam's interactions with the Sorceress, with him initially mistaking the visit to Castle Grayskull for a birthday surprise (and even telling her he'd give an invitation for the party the next year) before deciding she's clearly crazy or it's a prank and her trying to explain him his mission in spite of his attempts at escaping (not that they work, thanks to Offscreen Teleportation...) and pass the job to Man-at-Arms while keeping a straight face and mystic tone all the time.
- The King has been hurled off a high cliff to die, so He-Man promptly throws himself off too... Without considering what he's actually going to do if/when he catches him.
Randor: He-Man? You can fly?!
He-Man: Well... No.
- In "The Courage of Adam", Orko sees He-Man fighting the Evil Warriors near lava pools, and tries to help. He's informed it's a training exercise and the Evil Warriors were robots, so he decides to take a swim in the fake lava and jumps in...
Man-At-Arms: "Actually, the lava pools are real."
- In "The Deep End", Mer-Man's giant fish eats Man-At-Arms again, only this time he had the Corodite Crystal. Cue Evil-Lyn forcing Mer-Man to retrieve the Crystal, ready to chuck him down the fish' throat.
- The episode "Lessons" offers us Orko trying and failing to help the Masters raising the giant statue of a member of the Elder Council, toppling all the others in the process. Also, the reactions from Skeletor's minions (who were watching thanks to one of Tri-Klops' doomsekers):
Evil-Lyn: "Play it again, Tri-Klops!"
Trap-Jaw: "Who would have thought that Jester could have taken down the wall faster than Skelet-"
Skeletor: "Amusing. Perhaps I should recruit the jester for my legions of evil. He at least is
DOING SOMETHING!"
- "Siren's Song" starts with Adam and Teela climbing a cliff near Castle Grayskull, with Cringer casually outclimbing them. Man-at-Arms praises Cringer for having the right idea, focusing on the climbing and not on the altitude or the possible fall... At which point Cringer finally realizes what he just scaled, and reacts exactly as you would expect. Good thing he was already finished with the climbing...
- Later in the episode, Teela says she'll get Adam to help keeping an eye on Ram-Man, then scolds herself for thinking Adam would help... in front of He-Man. Both Teela's face when she started dissing Adam and He-Man's face when he heard the dissing are priceless.
- Ram-Man's face and eyes every time he hears the siren's song. Especially the one in the jail (Justified because he wasn't under the spell anymore, hence he was overacting).
- Trap-Jaw and Beast-Man being hit by the Immobilizer mid-air and staying paralyzed mid-air.
- In the And Knowing Is Half the Battle sequence at the end, Ram-Man and Buzz-Off go fishing on a boat-that is close to capsizing due Ram-Man's weight.
- In the episode "Turnabout", Skeletor is forced to wear a belt that zaps him if he does or even thinks about anything evil. Since he can't just take it off (though he tried; cue an increasingly over-the-top series of groin attacks), this leads to him trying to be nice to fool the belt (such as sipping tea and complimenting Evil-Lyn on her nails) while his troops purposely try to make him angry. Then he and his warriors try to turn the tables on He-Man, with a few difficulties.
Skeletor: Turnabout is fair play, He-Man! Henceforth, youaaaaaaaaaargh!
[collapse]
[to Evil-Lyn] You tell him.
- "The Sweet Smell Of Victory" is devoted to the surprisingly slapsticky origin and rise of Stinkor, a forgotten character from the original toyline whose sole talent is smelling terrible. And making him into a credible threat.
Stratos [with his Sean Connery-like voice]: My friends, I'm afraid that a new evil has arrived in Eternia. Something...
stinky.
- And the episode fittingly ends with a fart joke... Apparently Skeletor finds flatulence hilarious.
- The fact that Skeletor has to hold his nose in the presence of Stinkor. Skeletor doesn't have a nose. Stinkor's smell is that awful.
- The explosion from Tri-Klops' workshop Odiphus causes is powerful enough to shake Snake Mountain, even causing a small fire. Everyone else seems legitimately concerned about it. Tri-Klops just face palms.
- Leave us not forget the whole reason this Stinkor episode occurred in the first place:
Beast Man (referring to Tri-Klops' chemical concoction): So what's that for, anyway?
Evil-Lyn: Don't you know? It's to remove your stink!
(*Beast Man looks to the other Evil Warriors and receives varied muted responses of apathy and disbelief*)
Beast Man: Mer-Man! I don't stink, right?
Mer-Man: (sheepishly) Well... you do have a distinctive aroma...
Beast Man: ARRRGH!!!
- Tropers should keep in mind that Mer-Man is an aquatic humanoid who spends most of his time in the deepest, murkiest depths of the oceans...
- And let's not forget Skeletor's... rather odd fondness for Stinkor
Whiplash: How come the stinky guy isn't not being punished too?
Skeletor: Because, unlike the rest of you, Odiphus has proved himself
USEFUL!!
- When things start turning against Skeletor towards the end of "The Last Stand" (Adam has regained his Power Sword and turned into He-Man, the Masters have been freed and join the battle), Webstor takes a moment to reassure The Overlord of Evil that despite the defeat of Count Marzo and the desertion of Evilseed and the Giants, "I'm staying to fight!"
- "Of Machines And Men" starts out with Eternia-wide technological problems. This is largely played for laughs, with Man-E-Faces getting stuck between two personas and a background gag of Buzz-Off trying to fix Mekaneck's neck, but nothing beats the Snake Mountain sequence.
Skeletor: Where is that infernal Trap-Jaw? I sent him on a simple reconnaissance mission, too...
[his vessel crashes through the ceiling; Panthor is struck by a small rock and leaves in annoyance]Skeletor: Quite a landing, Trap-Jaw. What do you have to say for yourself?
Trap-Jaw: [mouth stuck open] AaaAaaAaaAaaAaaAaaAaaAaaAaa!
Evil-Lyn: Apparently nothing.
[to the side, Tri-Klops walks directly into a stalagmite] - Skeletor laughs his bony ass off.
- Second Skin has a hilarious scene in which Orko is trying to get information out of a captive General Rattlor... and finally getting him to talk by siccing a giant mongoose on him.
- The first thing Teela sees after recovering from a blood transfusion in "The Ties That Bind":
- It seems Tung Lashor's role in the series is to be the Butt-Monkey of the Snake Men. In one episode, his tongue gets stabbed by Marlena, has acid sprayed on it by Kobra Khan and receives acid in the face after Randor redirected Khan's attack onto him instead.
- Kobra Khan's reaction to his comrade's pain is pure glee hinting that he planned this.
