Funny / Tales from the Cryptkeeper

Go To

  • The Running Gag in Season 2 of the Old Witch being so ugly she breaks mirrors upon arrival.
    • She once breaks an entire mirror, not from looking at it, but from bending over in front of it while dressed in a one piece body suit.
    • Also whenever she blows a kiss in the viewers' direction, the "camera" cracks.
  • "Caveman":
    • As Peter and the Caveman are being chased by all the people they angered in the attraction park, they end up cornered to a wall. The Caveman seemingly pulled a You Shall Not Pass! as he throws Peter above the wall to save him, then turns around to face the angry crowd, groaning, and... sticks up his tongue at them. Before jumping to join Peter while both of them laugh.
  • "Sleeping Beauty":
  • "While The Cat's Away": After a night of horror after horror in a house, our protagonists run out the front door to find... The Cryptkeeper himself, which sends them running screaming. The Cryptkeeper just watches them run away in confusion, not even bothering to question it. Even better, Stu (the older brother) runs back, shoves the poster of the bike they were trying to steal money for, and tells him "keep it."
    • While in a chamber, Stu excitedly digs and pulls out a chest he thinks contains a great treasure, but it turns out to just be one small item. Dwight is pissed.
      Dwight: A COMIC BOOK?! WE DID ALL THIS FOR A COMIC BOOK?!
      Stu: It's issue #1.
      Dwight: ISSUE #1?! Well, that's supreme-o! I'd hate to go through this for issue #2!
    • In the closing, the Crypt Keeper asks if the audience wants to see slides from his vacation. An off-screen crowd shouts a Big "NO!" and can be heard running for the door.
  • In "Fare Tonight," Mildred and Eugene both get upset when they learn about the supposed death of TV character "Uncle Mikey‘s” puppet, leading to this glorious exchange:
    Camille: How can a TV show puppet die?
    Eugene: Ratings.
