The Hub series

  • The parody commercials are all a source of hilarity for how ridiculous the products get.
  • From "ManAnt!", Crash McLarson's first encounter with ManAnt.
    ManAnt: Crash McLarson, we meet again!
    Crash: You're tiny.
    (ManAnt's minions gasp in shock)
    ManAnt: YOU'RE tiny, Captain Obvious!
  • Any time Snakey, the creature from the beginning of "Mysterious Egg!", speaks.
  • In the first Lil' Bat short, Pablo/Lil' Bat has woken up early in the morning, and proceeds to pour himself a bowl of cereal. Cue the stream of milk going up, and the camera perspective flipping up to reveal he's standing upside-down in his cave.
  • In one short, Lil' Bat decides to torture some fire ants, only for it to backfire spectacularly as they swarm and eat him. The little "goodbye" wave he gives to the audience makes the short.
  • In Mysterious Egg, the team are overpowered by the monster of the week and prepare themselves for the worst...
    MC Bat Commander: Well, I guess this is it guys! It's been one wild ride!
    Crash: I'll see you guys in heaven...
    Eaglebones: Ricky, we've had this conversation; pancakes can't talk.
  • In one of the band cartoons, MC Bat Commander stands proudly on the moon. Breathing normally without an apparatus of any kind. While the rest of the band gets attacked by SPACE BEES in the background.
  • One of the show's promos:
    "Eaglebones gets an invisible bird...AND THEN A MOTORCYCLE BLOWS UP!"
  • The "THIS IS MY PERSONAL PROPER-TAY!" song the ghost sings during "The Haunted Battle Tram!" Even funnier when you realize it's the same guy who sang TROGDOOOOR!
  • The recap of "The Haunted Battle Tram!" right before "Cowboy Android!" is just non-stop screaming. Ditto the one for "Night Of The Cactus" that airs before "CobraMan!", because it's a montage of Ronmark getting slapped in the face. Repeatedly.
    • When about to face the android sheriff, the band (sans MC Bat Commander) line up wearing hubcaps (nicked from the abandoned car park) nearby to use as shields against the android's laser gun. Except for Crash Mclarson, who has an entire suit of armor built of the things. Including one on his groin. Naturally, the sheriff shoots him in the one place he didn't protect...
    Sheriff: [shoots Crash in the foot]
    Crash: MY SHOE!
  • "Cobraman!" gives lots of hilarity, for the sheer fact that the episode's main villain is Strong Bad in a magician outfit, right down to the mask and actor.
    • When said magician has the Aquabats at his mercy, he accidentally shows them the cartoon segment for the episode instead of what he actually wanted them to see.
    • Cobraman being Suddenly Voiced after the MC Bat Commander defeats him.
  • "The Floating Eyeball of Death!" gives us this:
    Jimmy: Once upon a time, there was giant floating eyeball that flew across the land...
    Crash: I like this story!
    Jimmy: In search of human souls to devour!
    Crash: I don't like this story!
  • EEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAGLECLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!! hamming it up.
  • The ending of the first episode, where the MC Bat Commander says it best.
    Bat Commander: Burger Rain!!!
  • One from the development: On the Mega64 podcast, Rocco told a story about being on set and ranting about how Italian restaurant chain Buca Di Beppo is terrible, when all of a sudden, MC Bat Commander pops up out of nowhere, in full costume, and chimes in, "Well, they have good desserts..."
  • In "EagleClaw!," when Eaglebones dramatically reveals EagleClaw as "his brotherrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!" and once he's done, the Aquabats just stand there, continuing to stare at him, and Crash busily takes a sip from his drink.
  • After the Sudden Downer Ending of Season 1, Season 2 opens with the Aquabats waking up with very long beards.
  • The MC Bat Commander gives his origin. When the topic of his teammates' powers comes up (and subsequently asking what type of powers the Bat Commander himself got...which was none), the Commander can only gasp out, "Dude, mind your own business!"
  • With the series all but cancelled by The Hub, Christian Jacobs is adamant that the show will continue in some form. His reasoning? They haven't even made any toys yet!
  • In "Christmas With the Aquabats!" Santa Claus fails to recognise Ricky Fitness despite being omniscient.

YouTube episodes

  • Jimmy wishing to become human in "Lotto Fever!" He gets to enjoy it for maybe two minutes before he's crushed by a box made of gold.
  • Eaglebones buying a magic cloak off the Secret Magical Interwebs in "The Aquabats! Learn Magic Tricks". And promptly setting it on fire after his first trick results in two hands springing from a magical portal in his chest.
    • The lesson of the day is don't buy magic clothes off the Secret Magical Interwebs...a lesson Ricky doesn't heed, when he pops in with a new wizard hat...and glowing red eyes and a monster voice.
