Funny / Pokémon: The Mew-sical

• Everything Professor Oak does or says.
• Ash chooses Pikachu, and Oak's reaction isn't encouraging.
  Professor Oak: There goes one stupid kid. Hope he doesn't die!
• Any time Giovanni shoots someone. Except the last time.
• Gary's ego is hilariously big, such as this line from "Better Paletonian."
  Ash:You'll wish you never made this bet.
  Gary: Why do you think you're good at things?
• Multiple characters realizing Ekans is snake backwards.
• James wanting to bring the Magikarp Submarine into everything.
  • At the end, James finds his soulmate when he asks what is the point of a helicopter...
    James and Brock: ...if it's not shaped like a Pokémon?
    (romantic piano starts up again)
• Giovanni hears of a Pikachu.
  Giovanni: A Pikachu? Elaborate.
  Rocket Grunt: It's a normal Pikachu but it won't go into its Pokéball.
• One Grunt reports that an agent fought a boulder for twenty minutes because they mistook it for a Graveler.
• Giovanni's attempt to get Jessie, James and Meowth to not waste any time saying the motto and Just Shoot Him.
  Giovanni: If I've told you once, I've told you a million times: You don't need to say the motto!
  Meowth: But Boss, how are they gonna know who we are?
  Giovanni: You don't want them to know who you are! You're criminals! Not only is the motto maddeningly illogical, but it undermines a crucial element of any criminal plot!
  Jessie: ...Secrecy?
  Giovani: Of COURSE secrecy!!
  James: I... I'm not following.
  Giovanni: All right, all right. Let me put this in terms you'll understand: If you get caught by the police, what happens?
  Jessie: What do you mean, "caught"?
  Giovanni: Once again, I expect too much of you. You are aware that stealing Pokemon is illegal, right?
  Jessie: No.
  James: No.
  Meowth: Yeah!
  Giovanni: Okay. It's like trying to teach a Magmar Bubblebeam. If they — if they know who you are, yeah? And you openly admit to doing evil? They'll catch you and put you in jail.
  *Pause.*
  James: But... the motto's kind of our thing now...
  Giovanni: Okay. All right. You know what, here's what you're going to do. You're going to go up to the kid who has the Pikachu, and you're not going to say the motto. Are you going to say the motto?
  James: Probably.
  Giovanni: NO! You're going to take this gun! And you're going to grab the Pikachu! And if the kid does anything to stop you, you're going to shoot him!
  James: WHOA! No no no no, I'm not shooting anyone!
  Jessie: We're not criminals!
  Meowth: I'll shoot him!
  Giovanni: *grabs the gun* Uh... Craig! Would you come in here?!
  *A Rocket Grunt enters.*
  Giovanni: Craig, just stand over there. *to James* Are you going to say the motto?
  *Pause.*
  James: I... *looks at Jessie and Meowth, then back to Giovanni* I feel like the answer is yes.
  *Giovanni shoots the Rocket Grunt.*
  Giovanni: Have I made myself clear?
  Jessie: At what point does the "ding" come into the plan?
  *Giovanni turns and prepares to shoot again, but ultimately can’t bring himself to do so.*
  Giovanni: *to himself* One a day, Giovanni. Just one.
• Pikachu gets a song solo that consists of it saying its name over and over.
• The tempo changes in "Finally" as Giovanni is so excited over seeing Pikachu.
  • And this Black Comedy verse:
    It's the best day ever,
    Cause you're totally alive!
    Though I saw my mother kill you,
    Still you managed to survive!
• This exchange as Ash realizes he needs Gary's help.
  Ash: I'm going to find Pikachu. Team Rocket stole him.
  Gary: Ash.... you couldn't find a Potion in a Pokemart.
• Giovanni tries to use a folding chair as a swivel chair.
• Team Rocket's despair over being ignored in favor of Pikachu.
  Jessie: What do you mean we don't get a yacht? I was going to name it the S.S. Ekans and we were all going to be so happy!
  • Which leads to Meowth's oddly touching, but mostly hilarious, attempt at cheering them up:
    James: Nobody loves us!
    *Jessie and James start crying*
    Meowth: Oh, don't start — come on! Shh, shh... I love you guys!
    James: You're just saying that because we technically own you!
  • And just like in Pokémon Live!, Meowth finally manages to cheer up Jessie and James with a goofy parody of a motivational song. Where Pokemon Live gave us "We're The Best At Being The Worst," this musical manages to pull off an even more absurd song with "We Don't Completely Suck (100% Of The Time)."
    So, we've quarreled a bit.
    Still, I've got to admit,
    You two have never let me down!
    (Excluding all the times you've let me down...)
    He won't throw us a bone,
    But this victory has shown,
    That we do not, completely,
    No we do not, believe me,
    This proves we don't completely suck...
    100% of the time!
• Some of the Lampshade Hanging of the more absurd parts of the canon are hilarious, especially this one, when Meowth is trying to pass as a human:
  Misty: You look remarkably like a Meowth.
  Meowth: That can't possibly be true, I can speak! How could one Pokemon in the entire world be able to speak, I mean, that would be ridiculous!
• The song "Without Chu" is a hilarious parody of Distant Duet songs, with the separated Ash and Pikachu singing about missing each other... and Pikachu's part of the song is still entirely in Pokémon Speak.
