* In "Franklin Forgives," Beaver shows up just as Harriet is giving Franklin a big hug after the two have forgiven each other. She treats this as if she's just walked in on something that maybe she shouldn't have seen, asking if it might be better for her to come back later.

** before Franklin and Snail can get some cherry blossoms from the tree, they first have to face off against the protective mother bird, Mrs. Warbler. They designate her the "guardian of the tree," referencing the ''Green Knight'' story.

** The entire situation with Mr. Gopher. He gets himself stuck in the round-shaped window opening of his home and calls out for help, but first refuses to admit to Franklin and Snail that he's stuck out of embarrassment. Then, when they try to pull him out, he notes that it would probably be best if they did it from "the other end," noting that the backdoor is open. Finally, after all of that, when they're leaving, he pokes his head out the window to bid them good luck, only to get stuck ''again''.
** Mr. Turtle standing around waving a spatula and pretending to fight a dragon.
-->'''Granny''': You know how children can get.
-->'''Mr. Turtle''': Take that, and that, and that!
-->'''Granny''': Every day, a big adventure.

* In "Franklin's Soccer Field Folly," all of Franklin's friends poke fun at Franklin for scoring on his own team's goal during a soccer game after his shell got spun around backwards blocking his vision. After one too many comments from Bear on the bus, Franklin shouts at him to just drop it and Bear, shocked, agrees that he will just drop it. It's a decidedly not-funny moment. Then Franklin turns to find the bus driver staring at him in shock, then Bear, Beaver and Fox, and finally everyone else on the bus with their faces all frozen in shock. "What?!" he asks and everyone turns around and goes back to what they were doing before, trying desperately to pretend as if nothing at all just happened.
