General

  • Wanda's tendency to be a Cloud Cuckoo Lander, when she's not yelling at Wishbone for digging up her garden. In one episode, when she suspects someone has broken into her house, she arms herself with a (highly decorative) rolling pin.
  • Just the fact that between "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" (the latter only featured in the The Adventures of Wishbone book tie-in series), Tom and Huck swap species (Wishbone plays the lead character in their respective stories while a human portrays the other) and no one notices.

Episodes (and other) with their own pages

#40: Picks of the Litter

  • Wishbone's startled reaction when the dog Penny starts talking to him at the very end.

Wishbone's Dog Days of the West

  • All of Wishbone's quips while on a leash at a carnival from the start of "Dog Days of the West", but especially this one after his vote to go in the bounce house was "ignored":
    Marcus: Hi, Wishbone.
    Wishbone: Hi, Marcus. I'm a political prisoner. How's your day been?

The Wishbone Mysteries #15 — Stage Invader

  • Ryan has a Running Gag of forgetting his lines as Danny. When he flubs a rehearsal of Sandy and Danny's big reunion, Rachel who's playing Rizzo teases him by reciting the line "Why aren't you at the school in Ryedale?". Ryan finds it Actually Pretty Funny and apologizes.
  • Wishbone hears a lady calling for "Jinx" and goes Entertainingly Wrong on seeing a cat in the area. He barks out a canine alert that a cat named Jinx is a threat.
  • When David's sign burns up and explodes, one of the kids watching its test run innocently asks if that was supposed to happen. Sam, David, and Justin quickly say that wasn't part of the show.
  • Before the Mood Whiplash where Sam forces Crystal to confess that she took the nails out of the bleachers where Sandy and Danny dance in the finale, Crystal hesitates to dance. (For context, Sam told Justin their suspicions, as well as Wishbone finding out the bleachers were sabotaged, and for this rehearsal, he says he wanted Crystal to try out a dance routine to see if she's okay for opening night.) She tries to say she'll do her routine on the floor and stalling. Ryan, in Sincerity Mode, says that if she's worried about falling with her sprained ankle, he'll hit the floor first and cushion her fall.
  • The Reveal that Jinx is actually Ryan's new puppy. He realizes she's gotten loose from their house when Wishbone tracks her down and finds her stash of stolen toys and food in the bushes, shortly after Sam busted Crystal as the saboteur. Ryan apologizes to everyone when they realize that Jinx must have stolen Joe's energy bar and left the scarf onstage that had tripped up Crystal, because she has a bad habit of chewing up things and stealing stuff. Jinx's response to being busted? To give Wishbone giant kisses, which the latter dislikes because Jinx stole Squeaky from him.
