In General
- The fact that Meggy, who has a fear of anime right down to a biological level, is starring in a series with an Animesque art style.
Pilot
- Mayora Bora's introduction video to Port Aurora and all its Stylistic Suck, which includes obvious Chroma Key and a picture of a crocodile trying to eat him somehow finding its way into the video for a second.Mayora Bora: With absolutely no hidden evil or lurking danger to worry about, Port Aurora welcomes you to sit back, relax, and enjoy! So long as they don't go out after dark... am I right? (voice talking to him offscreen) Oh what's that? Oh, son of—
- The Credits Gag pointing out that the video was, among other credits, directed by Alan Smithee and scored by Bob of all people. And "Best Girl" is credited to Monika.
- Before the video starts, the turtle carrying the TV its playing on throwing up the remote to start it.Meggy: Bleh...
- Meggy's Freeze-Frame Bonus introduction looks like the title cards seen in the Borderlands games, complete with a comment that she is "smol"... despite the fact that she's actually one of the tallest characters in the show, dwarfing most of the Aura Boras on the island.
- Meggy's introduction to Aziz. The ice cream vendor's Jerkass behavior almost immediately Crosses the Line Twice, and Meggy's barely holding back from strangling the man.
- Auri enters the scene. When Aziz demands Auri leaves since he's bothering people, Auri insists that "As Island Deputy, it's [his] duty to bother people". He too gets a title card that spells out he has no idea what he's doing.
- Auri, as he inspects Aziz's cart, he finds very suspicious items.Auri: Just as I thought. Cart oil leaking everywhere.
Aziz: It's ice cream juice.
Auri: (finds an illegally-owned octopus)
Aziz: Ice cream squid! Is how we make in old country.
Auri: {Finds a handgun)
Aziz: ...Ice cream... very dangerous business...- Auri, when shutting down Aziz's ice cream stand, throws a giant lock around the entire stand. Aziz angrily picks up his stand, declaring nobody will have ice cream, and walks off, refusing to give Meggy so much as a refund, blaming Auri for the incident.
- Auri, as he inspects Aziz's cart, he finds very suspicious items.
- Meggy's first-day vacation montage has some moments.
- When Meggy tries to get an apple, a thieving monkey steals them all. Angry, Meggy beans the monkey with a durian... who retaliates by pulling a knife on Meggy.
- Meggy goes fishing, but her catch is stolen by a shark. Taking advantage of the fact that she's no longer an Inkling, she dives after the shark, beats it to death with her bare hands, and happily walks away with her fish to the stunned horror of the Aura Boras as she leaves the shark hanging up there.
- Meggy found another ice cream stand and bought some ice cream. Just as she's about to enjoy her frozen treat, Aziz returns to knock it out of her hands, delivering on his declaration that nobody will have ice cream if he can't sell it.
- There is a gun game for prizes. Meggy finds it, and dual-wields a pair of rifles. She leaves the stand in ruins and on fire happily enjoying her newly won toys.
- When Meggy finds the last open ice cream parlor in town, she charges to it, desperate for her repeatedly denied frozen treat, only to see it being vandalized by the Spud Buds. The funny part is when they all scream "I scream, you scream, we all scream for violent robbery"... it's completely desynchronized like they didn't prepare for this at all. The only reason Meggy doesn't stop them herself at first, however, is that her chaffuer reminds her that they need to check-in.
- As the Spud Buds hoped, Auri comes riding to stop their attack on the ice cream parlor. When it looks like he's going to fight back... he starts writing an infringement ticket.
- The delivery of the Spud Buds' intimidating message is delayed because Duke was too busy eating ice cream to fulfill his part of their plot. When brought back to focus, he delivers the message as blunt as possible.
- Meggy finally confirms she's helping, and the Spud Buds attempt to intimidate her into backing off, with Duke throwing an ice cream cone that hits Meggy's new shirt. Meggy's not amused by this decision.Meggy: "Vacaction Meggy's" going on vacation! (throws the ice cream cone back at Russet, who looks confused... before Meggy kicks him in the face)
- During the fight, Meggy attempts to Groin Attack Duke... only for him to No-Sell it. It turns out, potato people like the Spud Buds don't have the parts to make that attack effective. After having a "No. Just… No" Reaction, Meggy, instead, sweep kicks Duke into his comrades behind the counter.
- Duke, Russet, and Mash arm themselves with the store's entire ice cream supply, and tosses it at Meggy machine-gun style. They even later use cherries as actual bombs to blow up the parlor. Meggy agrees after surviving this onslaught with Aziz... ice cream is dangerous business.
- How wimpy Auri, and by extension, the rest of the Aura Boras are. Auri's sneak attack on Yam is basically a light tap. Yam turns around, and simply knocks Auri out of the parlor in one punch.
- It turns out, Meggy kept the durian from earlier, and she uses it to save Auri by throwing it into Yam's behind.
- When the Spud Buds retreat after stealing Meggy's suitcase, Duke stops, steals one of the last surviving ice cream bowls, and threatens Meggy and Auri... with an ice cream spoon.
- Meggy's Oh, Crap! face when she realizes that Auri is literally the only officer on Port Aurora... and that she only has him to help retrieve her stolen luggage.
- Due to leaving her hotel reservation in her suitcase, Meggy resigned herself to sleeping in a cardboard box before Auri offered her his place to crash at. Meggy seemed reluctant at first... until Auri offered her ice cream.
- Auri introducing Meggy to his grandfather... or more specifically, the urn holding his ashes.
- After Auri explains the Phoenix Festival and why he's trying to be an officer, Meggy seems touched at his resolve... and then Auri yawns, commenting it is way past his bedtime. When Auri falls asleep, Meggy says it best.
- Meggy: This is going to be a long vacation.
- When Mash tries to lighten the seriousness of their failure to kill Auri thanks to Meggy, their boss orders him punched by Duke. Russet tries to offer Meggy's stolen luggage as well.
- Mysterious Voice: *Evil Laugh* You got some luggage! That's fantast— I DON'T NEED LUGGAGE! I NEED A DEAD DEPUTY!
- The sheer fact that the Kingpin of an entire criminal operation terrorizing the island is a face on a TV monitor strapped to the abs of a giant Aura Bora gets some chuckles. He also instructs Goonie to reopen a door and slam it properly to end a conversation.
The Silence of the Yams
- The intro has a jazz player play so poorly that an Aura Bora explodes.
- And the saxophone the player is using has a fish head for...some reason.
- When the Spud Buds rob the jazz club, they naturally orders hands above heads... however, the Aura Boras' anatomy makes this physically impossible.
- Auri has a Running Gag of jumping out of nowhere and surprising Meggy. However, Meggy had, at one point, instinctly German suplexes Auri in response.
- Auri's habit of ticketing everything has made him unpopular in the marketplace, with Aziz even violently chasing him away, so Auri couldn't really convince anyone to talk to him. So he settled for making a "Wanted!" Poster... with side portrayals of the Spud Buds. He then proceeds to put them up and hand them out like crazy, even sending another Auraian flying as he threw it at them.
- Auri presents Meggy with a paper badge with the words "Port Aurora Supervisor" poorly written on it. Meggy takes it and puts it on, humoring it "wouldn't be the end of the world". Cue a conveniently timed explosion from a nearby shop being robbed by the Spud Buds, with an Aura Bora on fire, but is more concerned about running away from the Spud Buds than the fact that he's burning alive.Meggy: Is that... normal?!
Auri: No... Massive explosions are banned on weekdays. - The Running Gag of Meggy and Auri's plans always being discussed with Added Alliterative Appeal. Specifically with the letter S.Meggy: Salutations, my simple-minded spuds!Meggy: So Slick, scope the scheme! Surprise is on our side, so we should sneak up, and-Meggy: sigh Sprint off... screaming.
- Meggy, once she confirms the Spud Buds are behind the fire, tries to sell Auri a plan to ambush them to capture them. However, Auri's already charging into battle.
- During the chase through the marketplace, the Spud Buds manage to blind Auri with a watermelon to the face. Not once does it occur to Auri that he should try to remove it until Meggy has to jump down and kick it off of his face.
- When the chase is briefly broken up by an ill-timed parade, Meggy complains that they need higher ground or they'll lose the Spud Buds. Auri spots a convenient fire escape with the ladder up, pulls out his spear... and instead hits the also conveniently located nearby ladder of the window cleaner, knocking it in a way they can quickly climb up that.
- While Meggy, given her taller height and Action Girl status, is a natural at rooftop parkour, Auri... isn't. It reaches to a point that, when the two make it to the Spud Buds' safehouse, that Meggy thinks about finding a way for safely cross, but he bravely attempts the jump, thinking all he needs is his "sense of self-belief". He barely latches onto the edge of the roof and would have fallen to his death if not for Meggy.Meggy: First piece of supervisor advice: self-belief is good, but upper body strength is better.
- Remember, this Meggy is from SMG4 and not an alternate version. How can you tell? Because her idea of interrogation involves a flamethrower!
Reservoir Cats
- Whisk would have flawlessly whisked away the portrait of Aloysious Bori had it not been for one animal noise exhibit...Announcer: The dog says... dog barking
- In general, Whisk's mood-swinging. Whenever she's wearing her mask, she's a stealthy thief who can slip away with ease, but the moment you knock her mask off, she turns SUPER shy and begs not to be looked at.
- The fact that the exhibits themselves can enter "defense mode" to attempt to stop any intruders.
- Auri brings a pair of dark shades to the museum investigation. Meggy calls him out on wearing sunglasses indoors.
- Auri knocks the nose off of a Sphinx exhibit. He tries to fix it, but ends up covering himself in glue and catapulting himself onto Meggy instead. This is why they're glued to each other throughout the episode.
- When Meggy and Auri discovers Whisk's abandoned costume:
- Whisk tries to relax in her hotel room. Room service has other plans. Whisk has to parkour all around the room to hide herself from the bellboy.
- Once Whisk retrieves her mask and kicks the bellboy out, he is hopelessly smitten with her.
- Meggy tries to prove that Whisk is staying at the hotel by pointing out the obvious highly-advanced cat-burgling utility belt in the bellboy's cart. The bellboy claims that lots of guests have highly-advanced cat-burgling utility belts. Auri observes that several guests do, in fact, appear to be in possession of highly-advanced cat-burgling utility belts.
- They finally get the bellboy to talk by threatening to file a written complaint to his regional manager.
- When Meggy and Auri manage to chase away each other's fears and knock Whisk's mask off, Whisk desperately leaps out the window. Auri lets out a Big "NO!", only for Meggy to remind him that she didn't jump to her death.Meggy: She has a grappling hook!
- Meggy happily opens her suitcase to rummage through her stuff. Her expression is noticeably more strained when she closes it again, after having realized that Whisk already took everything inside.
- Cue a montage of Meggy aimlessly storming through the room to let off some steam.
- Cue Auri happily singing that their crime-fighting days aren't over.
- When Auri recovers the portrait of Aloysious Bori:Auri: C'mon, Poppop. Let's put you back in the museum where you belong instead of the twisted halls of my subconscious.Meggy becomes very concerned
Cat-sino Royale
- As Meggy trains Auri to become (marginally) more physically competent, we get this exchange:Meggy: How are we going to catch [Whisk] if you can't keep up!?
- Meggy gets a call from Whisk. This is Meggy's response:Meggy: The next words I hear from you better be "I'm so sorry I took your things! I'm coming to give them back right now so you don't hunt me down and kick my ASS!"
- As Whisk outlines the conditions of their meeting, Meggy notices some rustling in the tree. She puts two and two together and throws the phone at the tree out of anger, only for it to be revealed that Aziz was the one in the tree trying to get "ice cream ingredients".
- Whisk holding her laser gun to Meggy's head as she nervously asks her to give her the mask.
- The Aura Bora constantly sushing Meggy and Whisk until Whisk incapacitates him with her fear gun. Turns out, he was constantly punished for being disruptive in his school days.Aura Bora: No, teacher! I'll be quiet. I'll be quiet! Just don't send me to the principal's office!
- As Whisk explains how the safe was closed for fumigation during an insect infestation, we see a scene of the Maloy brothers getting chased by people-sized bugs with baseball bats.
- What astounding trick are the Maloy brothers performing? A bottle flip.
- There are some tributes to the SMG4 crew. Most notably:
- Meggy introducing herself to Froy as Melony.
- The magazine cover parody featuring Tari. No, not that Tari.
- Froy's "Ow, my ovaries!"
- Near the end of the episode, Meggy comparing Whisk's social anxiety to Tari's.
- As Whisk infiltrates Doy's room, his ranting matches Whisk's actions. He even cries "THIEF!" at one point... only for him to elaborate that he was talking about his brother.
- Meggy trying to distract Froy's tiger by throwing toys at it.
- Before Whisk can talk her way past the elevator guards, a partygoer bumps into her and makes her mask fall off. Since Whisk is left in a Troubled Fetal Position from the ensuing attention, Meggy has to improvise.Meggy: I don't know what you people put in the flonzo puffs here, but they've made her sick as a dog! ...cat.LaterMeggy (Taking back Whisk's mask): And don't take people's stuff, it's wrong! ...usually.
- Since Whisk and Meggy have to hold their breaths while infiltrating the Maloy brothers' safe, they have an exchange that goes something like this:Meggy: [Don't you think you've taken enough?]Whisk: [You can leave me be if you don't want any.]
- ...except entirely in "Mmph"s and hand gestures.
- As Meggy and Whisk are trying to get past the Maloy brothers, it becomes evident that their tiger was given many different tells specifically for mauling people. It backfires on them.
- In a meta sense, compare Meggy's picture with SMG4 to his 10 Year Anniversary poster. One may think that he fattened up during the party. It may also explain why the other SMGs had trouble finding him if they were using his beeg form as a reference.
- The fact that there's still prevention towards copyrighted material. Specifically, by having Meggy conveniently putting her finger on top of Mario's face in the picture.
The Funk and the Furious
- As Auri chases a runaway thief, he delivers a Pre Ass Kicking One Liner before pretending to press buttons on a watch he doesn't even have, and then simply pedaling slightly faster on his unicycle so he can catch up to him.
- As Meggy passes by another tourist, she feels envious of his lavish, stress-free vacation. Of course, she doesn't notice the car crashing and exploding moments later.
- Auri states that the Funky Fource are crime-fighting dancers. To enforce this, Franky Fresh lights an aura bora on fire for filming the performance. The aura bora does not react.
- Mayora Bora calls the Funky Fource's leader "Flunky Fish", much to the frustration of an especially irate fan.Fan: It's Franky Fresh, idiot!
- Soon, even Franky gets sick of the mayor, and kicks him away to continue the announcement himself.
- Meggy's sheer apathy towards the Funky Fource.
- Throughout the announcement, Auri is awestruck, while Meggy keeps herself busy on her phone.
- The only reason why she goes in the Funky Fource's van at all is because the crowd dragged her in.
- Meggy asks how the van is bigger on the inside.
- A sobbing Aura Bora jumps out the window after getting his audition rejected. Granted, the van does not have multiple floors, so he's probably fine.
- Auri's audition goes like this:Franky Fresh: What's your name, my funky bora?Auri: Auri! And I just wanna say-Franky Fresh: You got ten seconds, Cory, show us whatcha got.Auri panics and improvises a less-than-impressive dance routine.
- And after all this, Meggy is recruited by the Funky Fource despite not even auditioning. She's just as surprised as the audience. Though there was a very dark reason for that...
- As the Funky Fource explain their origin story, they pull up a cardboard prop of a school classroom, while they all wear typical nerd glasses over their stylish shades.
- Considering the fact that at least Franky Fresh is revealed to be wearing a pair of more modest shades under his usual ones, that means he's wearing three pairs of glasses at that point.
- As Meggy convinces Auri to let her have the relaxing vacation she wants, she pauses mid-sentence to adjust one of the servant's fanning.
- When Auri reveals himself to the Funky Fource as they're watching Meggy, their first response is to awkwardly stammer, like they were caught stealing from the cookie jar.
- They do this again when Meggy finds them chasing Auri.
- When Auri tries to warn Meggy about the Funky Fource's plans for her, they beat him up with over-the-top dance moves and poses.
- Auri tries to exaplain what's going on to Meggy. However, his panicking makes him a little hard to understand.
Saturday Night Funkin'
- While Meggy's brainwashing is terrifying in many ways, it's pretty chuckle-worthy in others.
- The fact that most of the process involves watching an exercise program.
- The footage they show her is of the mayor dropping his ice cream on the ground, then eating it anyway while making sure no one's looking, all while the Funky Fource is telling her "there's an evil out there" like eating ice cream when off the ground is the worst thing someone can do.
- Apparently, no one told them that floor ice cream gives you health.
- Luke and Kevin's guest voice appearances. Specifically, a couple of bumbling servants who are tricked by Auri into abandoning their posts with a cardboard cutout of Franky Fresh and the action figure from the last episode.
- The return of the cranky fan.Mayora Bora: Thank you, citizens of Port Aurora for being here today for the performance of the Flunky Force!Fan: Funky Fource, dingus!
- Throughout the performance, the mayor thinks that the attempt on his life, among other things, is all part of the performance.
- The Funky Fource once again beating Auri around like a pinball, this time to a groovy synchronized dance routine.
- And later, Auri gets the audience to heckle the Funky Fource just by activating the appropriate prompt.
- The Funky Fource trying to shield themselves from the audience's projectiles while still bopping to the beat.
- When Auri gets Meggy to destroy the Funky Fource's turntables, Meggy says that she owes Auri for getting her out of that one. Auri is quick to cash in, since they still need to escape the Funky Fource themselves.
- When the crowd devolves into an angry mob against Meggy and Auri, the Mayor muses that he shouldn't have started "Free Torch Day".
- The guards that Auri tricked return just in time to be trampled by the mob.
- Aziz throws his entire ice cream cart in through the window. Then he asks for it back. After their refusal, he then accuses them of stealing his ice cream cart, too.
- There’s something amusing about the fact that the Big Bad of the show is an egg in a fez.Meggy: Auri? Is my brain still messed up, or is that egg talking to us?
- Then he rewards the Goonie with a cookie when it retaliates with a rocket.
- When Auri desperately tries to bargain with the Spud Buds, they respond by throwing a rock at him.
What Comes Next
- The beginning, where Benedict is telling the story of the Phoenix Festival to his Goonies, storybook and all. It's just so silly seeing Benedict of all people using that soft voice you'd hear from a caring father telling a bedtime story to his children.
- When the Mayor is woken up by Benedict, he gives a panicked excuse, despite the fact that he doesn't have a boss. He's the mayor.
- For stopping the "mayor assassins", the Mayor offers Benedict a coupon that gives him a whopping 2% discount on ice cream.Mayora: Expires after one year, offer invalid during free season.
- Benedict's wish list includes a nuclear reactor, high-impact explosives and a new fez.
- When the Spud Buds join Benedict in Mayora's office:Yam (referring to stature of Mayora): How much do you think that's worth?Mash destroys itMash: Guess we'll never know!
- Benedict confirming the accusations of Mayora (namely, the crime rise and the assassin plot) like a proud, giddy child.
- When the mayor denies knowing where the sheriff badge is, Whisk bears her claws menacingly... only to pull the sheriff badge out from behind Mayora's chair.
- When Meggy and Auri escape the vacuum cleaner in the garbage dump:Auri: The afterlife smells a lot worse than I thought it would.Meggy: We're alive, Auri. The vacuum absorbed most of the explosion.Auri: Well, that's convenient.
- When Auri goes to stop Benedict himself after Meggy refuses to do so, Meggy, in a burst of frustration, tells Auri that he's not a real sheriff. Quite the tearjerking moment, until Shadow Meggy shows up in a nearby mirror.
- Benedict tries to win the Lighthouse Keeper over with flowery language, but all it achieves is making him fall asleep.
- This exchange:Lighthouse Keeper:I woulda thought the sheriff'd be aware of the lighthouse barrier.
- Benedict's followers try to take down the barrier:
- Duke uses Russet like a baseball bat to hit Mash into the barrier. Mash bounces right off and hits Yam instead.
- Whisk fires a laser at the barrier. It bounces off again, this time hitting a Goonie's fez, lighting it on fire. Like many things that have caught on fire beforehand, it goes unnoticed.
- The Funky Fource just make a human(?) ladder and run straight into it. No guesses as to how this turns out.
- To get past the barrier, Benedict does good deeds for the people. For starters:
- He offers free ice cream. When Aziz tries to do something about it (since no one would want to buy his ice cream anymore), a Goonie just knocks him out.
- Some bullies are picking on a kid. In response, a Goonie chases them away with his rocket launcher.
- When an old man walks in front of a bus, a Goonie forcefully kicks the old man out of the way.
- Benedict sets up a petting zoo by beating up the Maloy brothers and kidnapping their tiger. Other animals include:
- The monkey that was stealing Meggy's fruit in episode 1.
- Mr. Rock
- A smaller turtle from the boat that brought Meggy to Port Aurora.
- This:Child: Thank you, mister sheriff! We love you!Benedict: Thanks! I love me, too.
- The Lighthouse Keeper's response to Operation Childlocknote .Lighthouse Keeper: Those are children! Are you mad!?Benedict: Why yes! Furious, actually!
- The Lighthouse Keeper does his best to hold off Benedict's Goonie, though he's defeated soon enough. He tries to get one last shot in. He hits his mark... but it only serves to briefly distract the Goonie, as he marches forward with a harpoon lodged in his shoulder.
- Among the chaos Benedict's followers are causing throughout Port Aurora, a Goonie can be seen jumping on the bed.
- As Meggy and Auri try to fight off some Goonies, they argue about whether or not Auri can handle this. Meggy gets hit by an ice cream cart for it.
- Aziz' reaction to the finishing blow.Aziz: Are you going to pay for that egg?Meggy: Come on, we just saved your life!Aziz: All right, all right. [...] Maybe you are not so bad deputy and ginger girl after all.
- Aziz decides to keep the ice cream that fell on the floor. He doesn't even try to hide it. Rather, he advertises the fact that they have "street droppings".
Mad Meggy
- As the Goonies are building Benedict's throne, one of them is holding their hammer the wrong way.
- When the spud buds are stuck cowering from an assailant in the shadows, Yam gets Mash to check it out. Mash tries to calm himself by saying that ghosts are "super weak to guns". When something DOES show up, he empties the entire clip, and throws the gun.
- Considering the "toppings" of Aziz's popsicle, it's hard to say if his weapon of choice is actually a weapon or his latest merch.
- Whisk dressing up a Goonie as a girl. She just wanted some diversity.
- Meggy finding out that the Mayor was elected through a Magic 8 Ball.
- The Funky Fource dancing with Joe Fresh's urn as if he were still alive, in a Black Comedy sort of way.
- Meggy and Auri guessing the Funky Fource's weapon system password * . The Funky Fource are surprised their system got hacked.
- The weapon system's trying as hard as it can.
- Since the Funky Fource are too good at dodging their own defense system, Meggy has to resort to Exactly What I Aimed At. One of the Funky Fource members gets hit by a car.
All Fall Down
- Benedict's swearing rant—which is bleeped out, because the TV he was communicating through has a filter feature on it.
- Benedict has the audacity to call Meggy and Auri monsters for presumably killing his Goonies because he spent a whole afternoon training them.
Rebirth
- When Auri awakens in an empty void, he notes that the afterlife doesn't smell very pleasant, only for his grandfather to arrive and assure him that he still isn't in the afterlife even though Auri clearly died. Oh, and real sheriffs don't do hugs. They do it anyway.
- Auri asks Meggy if she's crying. She claims that they're just "pain tears" from the scratches she had accumulated from her fight with Whisk.
- After losing her mask and Auri is brought back from his temporary demise, Whisk comes up with this reasoning for bailing the fight against Benedict's orders:
- Benedict completely loses his marbles when he starts hallucinating Auri as Aloysius. Meggy and Auri's Jaw Drop reaction sells it.
- Shadow Meggy of all people gets a funny moment, where she's just lounging with Meggy as she finally gets her vacation.
- The plaque on Mayora Bora’s memorial statue: “He died for our discount vacation packages.”
- The cute cat-face reaction Whisk has when she finds her mask in the rubble.
- The final shot of the first season? Benedict screaming because he was in the in-between with his Arch-Enemy.
