* At [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQlM59sDJVo&t=2m22s 2:22 of "We're a Happy Family"]] from ''Music/RocketToRussia'' Joey Ramone, in the act and tone of a deadbeat dad, declares with his New Yorker accent: "Hey, where are my socks? [...] Ahnd wear is mah ''' ''undarhwearrr?'' ''"
** Heck, you could count that entire song as a Crowning Moment Of Funny for being ever-so [[BlackHumor darkly humorous]]. Just read the verse:
-->Sitting here in Queens
-->Eating refried beans
-->We're in all the magazines
-->Gulpin' down Thorazines.
-->We ain't got no friends
-->Our troubles never end
-->[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking No Christmas cards to send]]
-->[[CampGay Daddy likes men]].
** Also the random "What is this minimalism?!" at the end.
** "Where are my safety pins? Whaddaya doin' with my safety pins? What is this?"
* Their appearance on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (season five's "Rosebud"[[note]]the one where Mr. Burns discovers that his long-lost childhood toy -- a teddy bear named Bobo -- is in the hands of Maggie Simpson[[/note]]). Despite only appearing for 30 seconds to sing a punk rendition of Happy Birthday to Mr. Burns, they were one of [[OneSceneWonder the best things in that episode]].
** The band greets the audience:
--> '''Joey:''' I'd just like to say this gig ''sucks!''
--> '''Johnny:''' Hey, up yours, Springfield.
** After the song:
-->'''C.J.:''' *to Burns* Go ta hell, you old bastid!
-->*the curtain closes*
-->'''Marky:''' Hey, I think they liked us!
** Burns' reaction:
-->'''Mr. Burns:''' Have Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} killed.\\
'''Mr. Smithers:''' But, sir, those aren't the --

Even funnier was his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-QveINMwkQ#t=69 speech]] in the ''Music/EndOfTheCentury'' documentary elaborating on why the album failed.
** However, the song "The Crusher", about wanting to be a [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]], was good enough to be revisited, with altered lyrics, on the Ramones' last album, ''Adios Amigos'', and was performed at their final concert, which was documented on ''We're Outta Here!''.
* Speaking of their final concert, Dee Dee showed up in a special appearance to take lead vocals on "Love Kills" from ''Animal Boy.'' Dee Dee forgets some of the words, and then forgets the ''entire'' third verse, so he just shrugs and tells the crowd "It's me. It's just the way I am." Notorious behind-the-scenes taskmaster Johnny looks ''really'' uncomfortable behind him, and then Dee Dee walks off at the end without a care in the world. What an icon.
* "Pinhead" from ''Music/LeaveHome'' and "Cretin Hop", from ''Music/RocketToRussia'', probably two of the most ridiculous "cool" songs in existence.
* "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" from ''Music/{{Ramones|Album}}'': the asinine way Joey says: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8", before the music comes rocking back and just jams like an idiot until the sudden end.
* Joey and CJ make an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vky5_kaDArA appearance on Muchmusic]], where CJ [[PrecisionFStrike forgets they're live]] and disses a Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock fan.
* Their Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction was a bit somber without Joey there to pick up his trophy, but it does have Dee Dee giving the single greatest Hall Of Fame induction speech ever made:
-->'''[[ItsAllAboutMe Dee Dee:]]''' Hi, I'm Dee Dee Ramone, and I'd like to congratulate myself, and thank myself, and give myself a big pat on the back. Thank you, Dee Dee, you're very wonderful, I love you!
* The opening to "Apeman Hop" from ''Animal Boy'' has the band making monkey noises while Dee Dee and Joey converse in caveman speak.
--> '''Dee Dee:''' Zungowi, oonga booga! Matsuwana zunboonga. Bwana bwana matsuwana!
--> '''Joey:''' Eyogi unbata, comjuju komola?
--> '''Dee Dee:''' Colabunga, ungowa.
** Also at certain points in the song, Dee Dee can be heard making loud Tarzan noises.
* The lyrics to "Got Alot To Say" are made up of exactly [[HypocriticalHumor two sentences.]]
* As a meta bit of funny, one of the favorite spots for the band to eat while touring was, of all places, Cracker Barrel.
