Funny / Skin Horse

• In "I Can Fly", when Nick is about to take his first flight.
  Nick: If I crash in a fiery wreck like some old-timey airplane footage, you promise not to laugh?
  Dr. Lee: Nick, if that happens, I will owe the federal government 55 billion dollars.
  Nick: Actually, that would be pretty farming funny.
  Dr. Lee: I only just paid off my student loans...
  • The arc concludes with Dr. Lee telling Unity she's happy the zombie found a home - Unity doesn't buy it because of all the horrific imagery she had to endure while being experimented on, including the Purple Smurfs episode where "They bit Papa on the tail!"
• The "Once And Future" arc has the Abbess reveal that she was a member of Parliament-Funkadelic in the '70s, and thus uniquely positioned to counter Tigerlily Jones.
  Unity: I spent two hours as a fish, and this is too weird for me.
• Yu brags about having a Save Point - unfortunately, his crowing about it leads Anasigma to flood the room with cyanide gas, triggering another loaded save.
  • A later strip is a mock-up of the arc as a Choose Your Own Adventure book, focusing on The Many Deaths of You.
• In "The Little House", Tip is trying to be recognized as a Whimsey Princess. He does quite well... right up until the Purity Test. By 1964 standards.
  Piggie: I've got to roll in mud until I feel clean.
  • At the start of the arc, the group are expecting the usual "Twee" style - they were incorrect, and Unity looks on the verge of tears.
• The Emperor of the Undead... is Zombie Emperor Norton. He's gained quasi-immortality through the collective will of his people.
  Zombie Emperor Norton: I prefer "extraordinarily popular delusion."
• Most of Sweetheart's attempted infiltration of a Mad Scientist asylum is derailed by Dr. Ao attempting to drive her barking mad - but none moreso than seeing the Puppy Therapy pups bandaged up.
• Nick (now human) has to fight other mechanicals to gain access to a VR system.
  • His first opponent? A Tamagotchi that's actually vampiric.
  • Next up is a sentient microphone that he needs to beat in a Trash Talk battle.
  • After that, Nick tempts fate by saying "The rest of this tourney, I'mo clean up!" Cue him being caught in a sentient washing machine... and it has a tag-team partner.
  • His final opponent is... a tiny wind-up fish who's also a Football hooligan.
• In "Swiftly I Glide", Tip, Unity, Virginia, and Nick, pretending to be an Anasigma inspection team, meet a real Anasigma inspection team whose members are effectively the Skin Horse team's A-Sig counterparts. Nick asks his counterpart if he has an unrequited crush on his colleague, and his counterpart says the crush isn't unrequited - he and his colleague are Happily Married. Nick is dumbfounded - doubly so when it turns out his counterpart is married to the A-Sig equivalent of Tip.
  Nick: Y'know that mirror universe where we're all dead or evil? This is worse.
  Tip: Mazel tov! Can I say mazel tov?
