Season 1

    Pen Pals 
  • As a result of his siblings' Zany Scheme of getting more cookies from him by faking letters that were from Gretchen, Boy became upset at the notion that all those letters were demands for more cookies, believing that Gretchen didn't like him anymore, and opted to stop being pen pals with her because of it.
    Boy's Friend 
  • Throughout the entire episode, Boy has been struggling to make friends, which his siblings have been trying to make him do as part of the canoe trip. Eventually, as it turns out, the reason Boy has a hard time doing so is that in the past, he had Ernie, who loved bobbleheads as much as he did, but after one summer, Ernie and his parents moved to Canada, greatly upsetting Boy.
  • As the others are happy Boy started making a friendship with Tucker, Girl then gets a text from K-Jam, who unwillingly bailed out of the canoe trip due to forgetting about her mother's birthday, with plenty of emojis to wit. After all she and the others did to help Boy, Girl ended up being upset that she wouldn't have a boating partner. At least until Boy offered to be her's instead.
    Monster Butt 
  • Turns out when Boy was younger, he went to school with no underwear and his trousers ripped, so everyone called him "Butt Boy". This comes back to haunt him when he has to be the back end of Girl's Lord Blastoboon costume, which has a prominent butt and has to perform a bottom-wiggling dance. As unwilling as he was throughout the episode, after seeing Girl feel sad during the performance, Boy ended up inside the tattered costume so as to help his sister. However, he's naked inside the costume since it's so hot while having forgotten to put on underwear, and to make matters worse, the costume's butt falls off and so everyone can see his. This leads to him getting called "Butt Boy" again, this time by Captain Calisto's actress.
    The Dog Who Cried Wolf 
  • When Boy attempts to reconcile with Dog by showing him the picture he drew for him, Dog instead damages it and shoos off his siblings.
    Imitation Games 
  • Boy and Girl feeling distraught and stated to each other that they missed how Dog and Cheese were originally.
    Don't Have A Cow 
  • Ever since having bonded with her, Cheese was extremely unwilling to part with Delilah, even with the others' protests. Once Farmer Joe successfully lures Delilah outside with her favorite flowers, Cheese became upset and begged the cow to not leave her side. Suddenly, she notices Delilah reuniting with her family, prompting Cheese to realize how much they missed her too and not wanting to be separated from her family either.
    The Cheese Ball 
  • Throughout the episode, Cheese has been wanting her siblings to celebrate her Cheese Ball, only for it to quickly go awry once it was revealed Cat only invited Stevie and Susie, who proceed to humiliate her with their gift and make fun of all her other misfortunes. After Boy botched up his task, Stevie proceeds to mock how the party went out. Even as Girl tries to tell the twins off, Susie points out how lousy the gang were in their efforts to help Cheese with her party. As a result of realizing how much her Cheese Ball was ruined, Cheese ends up crying back to her room, with the others clearly ashamed at themselves for letting their sister down on the one day that she believed made her feel real special. Even if Cheese deserved it, one can't help but feel sorry for her.
    • Also noteworthy is that when she cries, this time, Cheese isn't shown dramatically melting or falling down to the ground to burst tears. Nope, just her actually wailing like what any little girl would do with a ruined birthday, and it's actually a heartbreaking moment that's not Played for Laughs or a part of Cheese being a Drama Queen at all.
  • Due to being so upset at her ruined day, Cheese is later shown looking back at all her other photos lamenting that she had her other Cheese Balls. Then the bird she previously shooed shows up on the window again, prompting Cheese to apologize for being mean to it, only for the bird to rip up one of her photos and poop on her.
  • The implications regarding the end of the episode. Even after her siblings humiliated the Smith twins just to make her happy, Cheese accidentally has the jetpack she had on triggered again by Dog, making her fly all the way to the slide. Then Cheese ended up riding down the slide in spite of her attempt to crawl out of the tube while her siblings leave the scene. One can presume that Cheese would feel extremely humiliated and upset again once she got out of the slide.
    The Cat Crusader 
  • Due to how much she flunked in trying to be helpful in hopes of feeling like a superhero, Cat ends up sobbing in tears from her failures. Even after her siblings staged a scene in which would make her seem like a hero, Cat catches on with the act and cries again, with her next scene having her sit on a large tire upset.
    Neighoorhood Watchdog 
  • After Girl takes away his badge, Dog then walks out the girls room upset, later sitting in the dark kitchen alone.
    Curling Tail 
    Whistle to the Beat 
  • At the talk show, Boy attempts to talk about himself towards the audience, only for them to demand that he nose whistle for them. Afterwards, Boy realizes that they really don't care about him that much, prompting him to realize how superficial fame is and decide to leave it. Even when Cheese takes him to the bobblehead factory for all the bobbleheads of him, Boy then notices that they all have the nose whistles as well, making him distraught again.

Season 2

    Narwhal Day 
  • Thanks to the realization that Dad made up Narwhal Day, Boy, Dog, and Cheese decided to stop celebrating the holiday. In one of the others' attempts to get the three to come back, Cat accidentally crushes Posh lying on her lawnchair, with Cheese glaring at the three, then putting her cucumbers back on her eyes as she begins to tear.
    Staycation 
  • After Stevie and Susie ratted out Cheese towards her siblings and Gramps, they became upset at her for lying to them as she confessed. Girl seemed angry at Cheese the most while Gramps just frowns from the situation just as they all left back to the backyard. Cheese reaches her arm out to them, then feeling upset at herself for how things went out, thus prompting Cheese to forgo the movie premiere and reconcile with her family members to stay in their good graces.
    Nothing but the Truth 
  • After Boy rats him out for his farting, Tucker became embarrassed and upset at Boy for ruining his moment. This prompts Boy to feel ashamed for his truth telling.
    Grow Your Own 
  • This episode reveals that Stevie and Susie are competitive individuals who seek to win at any cost because their parents often inflict this mindset onto them. This eventually prompts the gang (except Cheese) to feel bad for their rivals and opt to help them when they struggle with making their vegetables.
    The Hosts 
  • Once it is revealed that they saw their kids trying to sabotage the gang's efforts at breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Smith punish Stevie and Susie by forbidding them from joining the trip they had planned, causing the twins to frown.

    The Spy Who Bugged Me

Cue Agent Awesome showing up and revealing that she recorded him saying that while amusedly repeating her recordings, then deciding to take this back to the agency to show the other spies. Good thing Girl and Cheese stood up for Average and made Awesome see the error of her ways.
