The series

  • Tim carrying Martin bridal style after Martin tells him he isn't used to Earth's gravity yet and can't walk on his own.
  • Mrs. Brown pretending to sleepwalk when she plays detective in "Super Duper Snooper".

The movie

  • When the guys are casually strolling on the pier, Nenert follows closely behind them in his conspicuous black car. When Tim notices and mentions it to Martin that they're being followed, Martin shrugs it off.
    Tim: Don't look now, but I think we're being followed.
    Martin: Nonsense! My perimeter sensors would've alerted me ages ago! [smacks his head, looks shocked, peeks behind him and sees the car]... Now it's working.
  • When the guys are forced to drive their newly shrunk car down a sewer pipe, and end up in a crappy situation.
  • How Tim got fired: It was a big shuttle launch, Tim's direction has resulted in a fine segment for the studio, Brace and crew followed him to the letter, and they're ready to say some final words and sign off... Only for Tim to say, "God, you're beautiful," to Brace, who then repeats it to the General, due to Tim not realizing he left his mic on.
    Tim: Cut! And we're out...
    Brace: [Whispers sternly into the camera as the General leaves] Tim, I'd like to have a word with you!
    Tim: [to himself] And I'm dead.
  • Zoot, often just being himself.
    Martin: Blotz! It's Lizzie! What's a Lizzie?
    Zoot: I would say a Model T Ford, but this one's got [gives himself "breasts"] bigger tires. Awooga! Awooga!
  • Disgustingly hilarious, an old man making his pecs dance to "Hot, Hot, Hot"
  • An old couple starts laughing at Martin's Zoot, causing him to think he's been outed as a martian, so he tries to blast them.
    Old Man: [laughing with his wife] Hey, "space man!"
    Martin: I've been discovered! [points his finger to blast them, but Tim catches him, causing the man's newspaper to explode into confetti]
  • Tim's freak out after daring to try out martian shape shifting gum, and how it also freaks out customers and workers in the store.
    Worker: Everything okay in there?
    Martin: Zipper trouble.
    Worker: [Cringes] Yeow...
  • Beware of flying ice cream! ...No really.
    • Martin suffering an ice cream headache on par with a hangover after his binging on the stuff earlier.
    Martin: I swear I'll never touch that blasted stuff again! One scoop's too many, and a million aren't enough!
  • Martin slipping into a "martian depression" involves him falling apart... Literally.
    • When Brace pays a visit, she sits on the couch where Martin's torso is still sitting under cover, but finds it uncomfortable, so she starts bashing it with her elbow to adjust it. Meanwhile, Martin's head vocalizes the pain while trapped in the hamper.
  • Martin-as-Brace struggling to maintain the image while Tim works to retrieve the tape and find the nerplex is already amusing, but once he returns to Brace's room to change back, he leaves clutching his head in pain:
    Martin: Boy, her head was dark and empty!
