* In "Get the Gimmes", Papa has a moment of NotSoAboveItAll. Brother and Sister catch wind of marshmallow chocolate bears, and of course as they do throughout the episode, the beg to have them. Mama immediately tells them the answer is no, then after they sadly walk away...

Added DiffLines:

* "The Perfect Fishing Spot" has very funny scenes focused on Sister and Papa during their fishing trip. One example is when Papa catches what he thinks is a big one... which turns out to be a pair of pants. Papa is confused, as it nearly dragged him off the dock. Cue a fish ''flying out of the pants towards Papa,'' knocking him down. This moment provides the page image.

* Mama Bear's DeadpanSnarker moments. In "Too Much TV", when Papa asks how he can check the weather without watching the news, Mama answers with "Try this. It's called sticking your hand out the window to see if it's raining." Similarly, in "Too Much Junk Food", Papa asks what kind of healthy liquids he and the cubs should drink. Mama says, "Try this. It's called water."

* The 1985 TV adaptation of "The Messy Room" has some pretty funny moments even though Mama may be at her worst; one moment of perfectly timed comic relief is when, after screaming at the cubs about being "No More Mrs. Nice Guy", she claims she is putting her foot down, which she does... Onto Brother's model plane cement. Naturally, Brother tries to lighten up the situation from it.

* One of the chapter books has the students get back at the principal for setting a new dress code. They decide to violate the dress code without actually breaking anything. The dress code says no ''blue'' jeans, AintNoRule about ''GREEN'' Jeans... The Dress code says no ''Superman'' capes. This is a ''batman'' cape. The principal promptly throws a tantrum and installs an ObviousRulePatch on the very first day.
