"Blocky! Wake up! What are you doing?!"

Like Total Drama, Battle for Dream Island is a show that executes the concept of reality TV in a comedy fashion, often more absurd than its predecessor. See funny moments from Battle for BFDI here, and moments from Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two here.

---

Battle for Dream Island

• The Announcer as a whole can come off as this, as he always messes around with the contestants, presents random things at unexpected times, and randomly sells stuff due to budget cuts.

Take the Plunge

• This exchange.
  Flower: "Ice Cube, don't you think I look beautiful?"
  Ice Cube: "Um, no?"
  *Flower kicks Ice Cube*
• Blocky's sleeping position, which features him with his feet on top of his head, and an extremely silly smile.
• After Pin and Leafy are the final two, they fight over who is going to win. Pin states that "Only one of us can win", while putting up a finger. The problem? She's putting up the middle finger.
• Ice Cube's plight to join Match, Pencil, and Ice Cube's alliance.
  Ice Cube: "What? An alliance? I've got to join!"
  (Ice Cube knocks over Pen)
  Ice Cube: "Coming through! Sorry, Pen."
  Ice Cube: "Hey guys! Can I be part-"
  (Ice Cube smashes into the alliance)
  Pencil: "No".
• When 5 characters are left, the numbers 1-5 appear above them. When they reach number 5, Woody screams.
• The characters are choosing a team name, when Match screams out "THE SMOKIN' HOT FIERY BUNS!" through a megaphone.
• As the Squishy Cherries are building a boat, Eraser steps on a nail and screams. He then floats onto a bed of nails. With hilarious "beeow-beeow-beeow" noises in the background.
• When the Cherries' ship gets a leak, Firey's facial expressions are just hilarious.
• The Grapes flying over the various sea creatures, complete with tons of silly noises in the background.

Barriers And Pitfalls

• During the first Cake At Stake ceremony, Tennis Ball is safe with one vote. So is "Sam", "whoever "Sam" is".
• Pencil's "song" she sings when she tries to get the fish who ate Blocky to let him out.
  Pencil: "Open mouth, yeah yeah yeah, let him out, yeah yeah yeah, so we can win the contest, so we can win the contest!"
• The funny "sea creatures" scene is used again, this time with Flower and with all the sounds backwards.
• The entire "Stress-Free Gumball" commercial. It advertises a gum ball which claims to reduce stress. The only problem? It costs 70,000 payments. Of 70,000 dollars. Each. The phone number for the company is also just "2".
• Pencil's reaction to part of her tip being cut off is to say "Oh no, I've been dulled!"

Are You Smarter Than A Snowball?

• Snowball's response to the test.
  Snowball: "This is so stupid! How am I supposed to know this?"
  (Snowball points to his name)
  • The test questions themselves also qualify.
  1: If you don't want to eat, how long would you survive? Do you know? I don't think you do, so you shall fail, haha.
  2: Do you like tennis balls? Also, please don't doodle on the test. Just don't. So yeah, answer.
• Pencil and Match's game of "Spongy Cake".
  Match: "One, two, three, four, who do we, not adore? Spongy! Spongy!" Five, six, seven, eight, who do we, really hate? Spongy! Spongy! Nine, ten, and then eleven—"
  (Match is cut off by fire)
  • During the game, Pencil and Match rub miniature versions of themselves against each other. A wooden Pencil against a Match. Oops.
  • Pencil's reaction is great too.
  Pencil: "Thanks an octodecillion, Match! Now our stupid tests are stupidly on stupid fire!"
• At the end of the episode, it shows Tennis Ball, Eraser, Coiny, and Woody stuck in a hole. Unfortunately, Tennis Ball has other needs to tend to...
  Tennis Ball: "Um, guys, I have to go to the bathroom!"
  • It wouldn't be so funny at first, but when you take into account the fact that they are all stuck on top of each other...

Sweet Tooth

• At the Cake At Stake, Match hallucinates Pencil turning into Bubble. Match's response?
  Match: "Don't do that! It is K-R-E-P!"
• Snowball complaining about the contest.
  Snowball: "Making cakes without recipes is as almost as bad as making a cake out of TWO METAL BALLS!" (throws the metal balls that he spontaneously generated out of his hand… somehow, one of which shatters Ice Cube and the other crushes the Ice Cube Recovery Center, forcing the Recovery Center Creator to make another one.)

Bridge Crossing

• Leafy is somehow able to slap Needle into space
• Just as Bubble is about to receive her cake, Needle flies in out of nowhere and pops her.

Power of Three

• Snowball gets paired with Rocky and Golf Ball for the challenge. His response? He screams “NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” while the other contestants look at him dissaprovingly.
• Pencil Gets locked in one of the lockers

Puzzling Mysteries

Cycle of Life

Insectophobe's Nightmare

• Pen being dragged along the grass for tying the wrong leg.

Crybaby!

• The faces Golf Ball makes trying to cry on command. And it's her very first tear.

Lofty

A Leg Up in the Race

Don't Lose Your Marbles

• The contestants complaining about the remodeled Cake at Stake, until Announcer tells them they're supposed to like it, so they suddenly start complimenting.

Half a Loaf is Better than None

• Bubble and Blcoky are the last two after jumping over a bunch of hurdles. Previously, Bubble had been constantly whining about how each of the hurdles were getting progressively harder. The last one?
  Bubble: "Oh noiyo! Look at the next one!"
  Blocky: "That's enough, Bubble!."
  (The next hurdle is a giant wall that is not only physically impossible to jump over, but has sawblades spinning on it)
  Blocky: "Alright, you may have a point."
  (Bubble tries to jump and predictably gets popped by the sawblades.)
  Blocky: "Ok, I give up."

Vomitaco

• This exchange.
  Pencil:(floating in an oversized barf bag) OMG, is this actually vomit?
  Announcer: No, it is colored water.
  (Rocky vomits in the water)
  Announcer: Never mind.

Bowling, Now with Explosions!

• Yellow Face's Revolutionary Headphones!... that only play a sound of gurgling over and over.
  And best of all, our super-glue makes them unremovable!

The Reveal

• Leafy and Ice Cube's penalty of -1,000 points. It's so ridiculously bad that it is funny. The applause doesn't help matters either.

Reveal Novum

Recession

• Announcer reveals that he cries acid when the contestants reject his prize for Cake at Stake. He process to cry acid right at the other contestants!
  • What makes it funnier is that the Announcer is always monotone regardless of the situation, when he cries, he makes a monotone "Wha, wha, wha!" noise.
• Announcer reveals that he has a diary by accident.

Gardening Hero

The Glistening

• This quick exchange between Announcer and Flower.
  Announcer: Flower, as a reward, you get a cake.
  Flower: Finally!
  Announcer: It's a pizza.
  Flower: What?!

Don't Pierce My Flesh

Hurtful!

Insectophobe's Nightmare 2

• Announcer revealing he has mouth when he screams.
  • The sound of the scream? A monotone "Ahhh" noise.

Return of the Hang Glider

Battle for Dream Island Again

Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know.

• Lollipop's response to Book initially not joining the game:
  Lollipop: I guess people judged you by your cover.
• Eraser reads rule 2 of the contest:
  Eraser "Rule 2: Eliminated contestants must be killed." Wait, what?
  (the eliminated contestants scream as they're crushed by a giant Announcer Crusher, but it turns out just to be Eraser hallucinating)
  Eraser: Oh. "Eliminated contestants must be treated with TLC." Aw, okay. (suddenly frowns upon the realization)
  (all the eliminated contests scream en masse as they're flung into the TLC)
• Puffball joining in on Pencil and Donut's "sometimes maybe" argument:
  Puffball: (with the following coming out of her mouth as text) Sometimes maybe, if one player switches teams they'll be equal.
• Everybody showing off their favorite screens in a montage.
• Puffball showing off her vocoded voice by saying, "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know." Over and over and over again. She even puts Firey in a trance.

Get Digging

• Ice Cube making an "ugly face" as in opening her mouth wide and flailing her tongue over her face.
• TV's terrible Cake at Stake songs:
  TV: DOY DOY DOY DOY DOY DOY DOY DOY. COIK AT STOIK.
  Gelatin: TV, that was horrible.
  Fries: Yeah! We deserve better than that!
  TV: [In an earsplitting mess] CAKE AT STAKE. CAKE AT STAKE.
  Fries: Stop! That's not even better!
• Team No-Name mocking W.O.A.H. Bunch as a gigantic crowd spreading over miles as the latter's team members walk to the Cake at Stake place.
• This gem:
  Pin: Let's take Teardrop.
  Coiny: Why her?
  Pin: She's my best friend!
  Coiny: How do you know?
  Pin: She's the only one who hasn't said she hates me!

Insectophobe's Nightmare 3

• Like the previous episode W.O.A.H Bunch mocks Team No-Name as a gigantic crowd spreading over miles as the latter's team members walk to the Cake at Stake place. One could argue that it is even funnier than last time due to the small size of W.O.A.H Bunch making it more obvious that the team members are being copied.
• Coiny convinces Needle to switch to W.O.A.H. Bunch:
  Coiny: If you don't switch, I will call you Needy. [Camera zooms in] Three times. [Camera zooms in] In a row. [Camera zooms in, then much further in with Needle profusely sweating]
  [Needle proceeds to join W.O.A.H. Bunch]
• When Yellow Face gets poisoned by the bugs:
  Golfball: Yellow Face! Stop being Poisoned. You've got work to do!

Zeeky Boogy Doog

• Pin shaking the Eiffel Tower like it is made of Paper Mache.
• Ruby suggests that her team should name their Dream Island, "Poopy Mayonnaise".

Get in the Van

• Leafy making small talk with Bubble and Pin while the latter two are trying to kill her with the Freeze Syringes. Bubble even speaks kindly to her. Black Comedy at its finest!
• When Leafy says she wants to eat something else, Bubble asks her what she wants, causing Leafy to stutter awkwardly.
  • As Leafy stutters over what she wants to eat, Bubble leans in slowly, making it more awkward and hilarious.
  • Gets even more funnier as Pin is still trying to kill Leafy as this is happening.
    • Leafy makes up her mind and wants an onion, something that Bubble gives her and Leafy eats it..., with loud crunches, drooling everywhere, chewing with mouth open, and doing it in front of Bubble and Pin. The kicker? Pin nervously backs away.
  • The fact that Bubble had a spare onion on her for apparently no reason is just hilarious in itself.
• Match trying to fool Firey Speaker Box by saying that she is a tree.
  • She does this by sticking Gelatin on her head.
• Book slaps Match. When Match asks Book why she did that, Book replies that they passed a library and that slapping is the rule.

No More Snow

• At the beginning of the episode. Fries is on top of Puffball sleeping but is awakened by Puffball flying under a storm cloud raining basketballs and one hits him.
  • Puffball casually reveals to Fries that Gelatin and Firey tied their legs together and fell off. Fries then mentions that that sounds like something they would do.
• A rather missable one, but when Pencil makes Ruby cry, Ice Cube still looks happy even when Ruby is crying (though it might just be that the animators forgot to give her actual animation and that it's just her idle animation).

It's a Monster

The Long-lost Yoyle City

• Remember when Book slapped Match for passing a library because it was a rule? Well, when the FreeSmarters arrive at Yoyleland, they pass a matchstick factory, leading to Match slapping Book.
• Firey wonders why the Davids in Davidland aren't saying "Aw, seriously?", and Tennis Ball replies that they only say that if you provoke them. This happens moments later:
  Fries: Davids are the most annoying creatures I have ever laid my eyes upon.
  (A resounding "Aw, seriously?", said by all the Davids in Davidland, is heard)

Well Rested

• Golf Ball says that everyone knows whose fault it was for her team losing last episode. Despite being there when Puffball threw the challenge, Firey says it was Nonexisty's fault.
• Team No-Name trying to convince Rocky not to switch to WOAH Bunch with Firey and Gelatin acting like really desperate cheerleaders. It fails because Fries says "Whatever".
  Firey and Gelatin: Keep those neck muscles extended! Keep those neck muscles extended! Keep those neck muscles extended!
• Evil Leafy popping out of the mirror for a split second before cutting to Yellow Face advertising a meditation app, which turns out to not exist.

Intruder Alert

• After having been told to compose a new Cake at Stake song, TV just smashes his head against a piano.
  • As a last-ditch effort to make a good Cake At Stake intro after being told to give up, TV then plays a clip from a Yogscast video
    TV: I ain't giving' up! I ain't giving' up! There's cake at stake, Lewis!
    • This is enough for him to be sent to the TLC, even if he's not a contestant on the show. TV locks the TLC from the inside in retaliation.
• Because Freesmart was in the air when the challenge was announced and that they accidentally disrupted the spinner after the challenge was announced, allowed Firey and Gelatin (who recently joined the team) to exploit this in order to make Freesmart lose.
• Coiny suddenly being able to read Pin's mind.

  Pin: This team needs a better team leader.

  Coiny: Agreed.

  Pin: Wait, what?

Meaty

• Even though TV was sent to the TLC last episode, we get one more Cake At Stake Intro from him involving both him and Lewis doing dramatic kung-fu poses with Japanese symbols in the background while the audio from the same Yogscast clip plays. Naturally this intro is hated as well
• Fries and Tennis-Ball dodging Freesmart's pink paint globs in Fries's car similarly to Leafy dodging nails in "Lofty", but turned on its side. This means that when the car does the loop, it inexplicably gains rockets for wheels to dodge them.
• Coiny using himself to pay for a pair of sunglasses, as in Gelatin putting the former into the cash register of the latter's shadeshouse.
• Like in "Zeeky Boogy Doog", the Eiffel Tower is subjected to bizarre physics, but this time by Freesmart to get pink paint onto it into the pink paint that fell in the dish that Tennis Ball created. The implication is that the dish is deeper than it seems.

Catch These Hands

• Ruby and Pencil recover themselves due to the both of them dying next to the yoyleite. They operate the "HPRC But It's French Because of the Eiffel Tower" by reaching out of its slot, entering their names and cranking it.
• Spongy's large size means that he barely fits in the compactor, and to hammer the point in that he has no chance of survival the crusher speeds up tremendously when it cuts back to him, despite presumably no one guessing what he was doing.
• The whole Medium-Shift Gag that occurs in some sort of afterlife is done in CGI with disturbingly hilarious realistic human faces on all the dead objects crushed in the compactors. Pencil is called an "erasable drawing utensil", Nickel is called "American 5 cent denomination", Fries is called "Potato-Based Consumable", and Pin is called "Push pin" (which is the kind of pin she is), compounded with everyone talking in text-to-speech Expospeak.
  • When Pencil calls Spongy ugly, the latter tells the former to look at themselves in the mirror. Cue Pencil screaming like a faulty computer tone.
  • It turns out that there's nothing stopping the objects from talking normally, and when Fries calls them out for this in his normal voice, he is then flattened by Pencil.
• Pin is supposed to do the Maccaroni Dance, and tries to do it with her eyes closed, forgetting that she has no limbs. Needle and Bomby have no clue what she is trying to do and the latter declares that whatever Pin is trying to do is so dumb that he's going to crush her out of spite and purposefully guesses wrong answers to do so.
• Golf Ball gets teleported into the compactor and has no idea what the challenge is and her teammates can't tell her what is going on, queue her getting crushed with a blank expression on her face while dramatic music plays.

Taste the Sweetness

• The contestants and Puffball Speaker Box steal Lewis's car by Bomby stabbing PSB in the back and using her rainbow vomit to knock him out, then uses PSB to propel the car across the Goiky Highway that was just built and funded by Lewis.
• The hellish dimension returns, with all the crushed contestants swimming in a lava river, when the remaining alive contestants and Puffball Speaker Box recover all the dead contestants. When they recover Pencil:
  Pencil: [In Text-to-speech voice] Woah! What is happening? [Pencil is flung out of the lava river and begins to rapidly spin in the air.] I am revolutating at incredible speeds. This isn't part of my swimming routine!
  • After Pencil is recovered, a montage of the alive contestants recovering and cranking with the HPRC is played, done with all the contestants who were crushed being lifted out of the lava river and spinning with squash and stretch before they're fully recovered all done with corny music playing in the background.

Lots of Mud

• Once again, the gigantic crowd shot of the winning team mocking the losing one that's going to the Cake at Stake place returns. This time around, Fries is the only contestant that didn't lose the previous episode's challenge, meaning that the crowd is made up of only a large amount of Fries, making it the most obvious that it has ever been that the contestants are mass-duplicated.
• Ruby states that she doesn't like names that have the letter r in them. Given the obvious contradiction, the rest of Freesmart stare at her with looks of disappointment.
• Tennis Ball attempts to get the keys out from the ocean with his magnet, but ends up with just about every single other piece of metal that is a similar size.

IDFB

• This scene from Bubble and Pencil.

  Pencil: Bubble, how can you not feel bad?! Three years of our work has just vanished in an instant!

  Bubble: Well, I'm so used to my entire life disappearing in an instant, that it doesn't really affect me anymore.

• Pencil and Book wincing after saying "Needy", despite Needle not being there to slap them.
• Ruby taunting Pencil by playing "Keep Away" with the test results from the then-unaired BFDIA 6 episode.
  • When Pencil is dangling dangerously over the railing of the tall tower as a result of the "Keep Away" game, we see Firey locked in a cage, hanging over the edge, screaming. Pencil's reaction? "Oh, hey, Firey." in a causal manner.
• Pin showing off her new limbs, doubles as heartwarming.
• Bomby's cameo, in which it is lampshaded that he has only two lines in the episode.
• Coiny's deep fried breaths in The Stinger. We don't get to see it on-screen, but it's so horrifying to Leafy that she stops what she's doing and backs into the bush she was in, and Fries begs him to stop.
  Fries: OH MY TATER!

Other/Non-episodes

• The long lost Ice Cube Recordings... which just consists of Ice Cube's dialogue reversed and the transcription of what she's saying in reverse.
  Ice Cube: Hurt a eagle: no effect... in a game of snit!
• In the second meetup video, Adam mentions "something you can actually consume".
  Michael: Alcohol!
  Adam: No, not alcoh- absolutely not!
• This exchange between Leafy and Pin in a short video announcing new BFB merch:
  Leafy: "You're currently the 44th nicest individual around here. I'm number 1 of course, which is-"
  Pin: "I doubt it."
  (Leafy glares at Pin for a moment)
  Leafy: "You're currently the 45th nicest individual around here!"
• The entirety of the short "Paper Towel".
  • What makes the cake is Blocky in a Hazmat suit changing the paper towel holder (which the contestants use as toilet paper), while Eraser looks on in horror.
  • Pen's cameo is him simply lifting Eraser up on the boxes. He comes completely out of nowhere.
  • The picture showing that the paper towels are only used as toilet paper.
  • Just the fact that Eraser had to go to the bathroom in the short.
• Snowball singing “Let it Go” in the 700000 Subscriber video.
• The short featuring the characters in Among Us. Notable events include:
  • Gelatin having difficulty doing the admin card swipe
  • Lollipop asking Four (who is in an Among Us crewmate suit) why he is wearing the skin of a Teletubby.
  • When Eraser calls an Emergency Meeting:
  Eraser: "While I have all your attention, I want to state my opinion that In this BFDI world, ships should not exist.
  Bell: "Ships should not exist?!"
  The Skeld disappears with all the contestants (except for Pencil and Gelatin who were killed) screaming as they are sucked into Black Hole.
  Black Hole: "Black Holes always win in the end!"
• Yoyleland and Gelatin's Steakhouse appear in Google Maps. No, seriously!
• The second Among Us themed short
  • Taco saying "Oh my Chipotle!"
  • X as "Xanta"
  • All the characters on the ship speaking at once (except Rocky and Taco)
  Donut/Tree/Profiley/Ruby/Eggy/Saw/Balloony/Pen: We too like Xanta. Because we all enjoy receiving their gifts. All hail X-mas. All hail Santa.
• "Why is the BFDI Mouth everywhere?" Well, Golf Ball wanted to get on a seesaw, so she created the iconic mouth and took it on a tour around the world. From there, the rest of the video ignores the mouth asset's popularity and instead focuses on the Mouth eating everybody.
  • The winners of BFDI (Firey and Flower) get a normal seesaw. The runnerups (Leafy and Gelatin) get a broken seesaw. When Bubble, the third place contestant of BFDI, asks if she can join the latter, Gelatin scolds her for it and freezes her.
  • Golf Ball and Tennis Ball created the Mouth by having Nine say something cool into a device, and Nine is quickly demoted from coolest person in the world, as Golf Ball aggressively tells her.
  • Ruby lampshades Deadline News, expecting the Mouth to eat her once she says it will soon eat everybody.
  • Two rallies Four and Nine to fight the Mouth, but they all get eaten midspeech.
  • Golf Ball finally gets the Winner's Seesaw, but Leafy points out that if a non-winner uses it, the whole world will end. Sure enough, Earth disappears not long after she uses it. Not to mention, Firey and Flower both got eaten by the Mouth, making the Seesaw unusable by Golf Ball alone.
• "Best BFDI Crushes to Date!" may seem like it's a standard Valentine's Day compilation of romantic relationships on the show, boy you'd be wrong! It's the more literal kind of crushing. This gets lampshaded in the end with a clip of BFB 9 with the overdub: "Best Valentine's Day prank ever!"
