    Facing The Future 
  • After seeing his new ghost-hunting bunker trashed, Tucker can't help but to bawl over his broken computers.
  • Jack attempted to fire his new Ecto-Bondo weapon at Future Danny, only for it to miss and destroy the lab before trapping Jack, Maddie and Jazz. It was so funny, even Future Danny couldn't keep from laughing.
  • This delightfully confusing conversation demonstrates how annoying it is to have two future versions of yourself running around.
    Jazz: "Danny? Is that...Sam?"
    Danny: "Uh, yes...no...well, kinda...Look, it's a long story, okay? Just...can you guys take care of her? I'm running around loose out there and I've got to go help me stop myself!"
    Valerie: (confused) "Uh, Danny? What are you talking about?"
    (Danny sighs)
    Danny: "You know what? I really don't know anymore."
  • Clockwork calls Vlad a fruit loop.
  • Sam's Training Montage to get control of her new ghost powers. She managed to go through all the trouble Danny had getting control of his powers in just a few hours.
  • Vlad tried modifying a pair of Jack's Tricked-Out Gloves, only to receive a massive shock when he put them on.
    Vlad: Wrong...wires!
  • After Dark Danny is defeated and Future Danny and Sam return to their own time, the Fenton RV arrives with Jack, Maddie, and Jazz:
    Maddie: Next time our son is facing a life-or-death crisis, I'M DRIVING!
    Jack: I still don't see what the problem was! The sign said it was a one way street. We were only going one way!
    Jazz: Well, that's very logical Dad, but did you happen to notice how all the other cars were going in the opposite direction?!
  • At the end of the story, Danny and Sam respond to their Ghost Senses and come across Box Ghost. Just before giving him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, Sam admits to Box Ghost that she had been really hoping he was what set off the Ghost Sense.
    Sam: (Pulling back a glowing fist) Allow me to re-introduce myself!

    Strength In Numbers 
  • The fact that the ghosts had no idea what to do with Danny after they finally caught him.
  • Sam's disbelief over the fact that Danielle got to her grandmother's house via a Ghost Portal...in her dishwasher.
  • At the end of the story, Danny and Sam's touching moment where Sam gives him a keychain with their initials on it takes a humorous Mood Whiplash when it's revealed that, rather than a picture of Sam smiling, it contains one of her angrily shaking her fist at the camera in a threatening manner so Danny will know to keep his head if he ever gets in another funk.

    Bad Breakup 
  • Apparently, Sam has caused a few incidents with her new ghost powers. One was a steakhouse where she invisibly made a side of beef dance, and another was something involving the animals in the science lab that made the Janitor afraid to clean that hallway alone for weeks.
  • When Tucker's robot first appeared, it scared Dash silly because he thought there was an invasion. As if that wasn't enough, when he found out Tucker was the reason, he got so mad he actually ran up and punched the robot, thinking Tucker was inside it. The result of him hurting his fist and jumping around howling in pain was so hilarious even Danny, Sam, and Tucker couldn't keep their composure and burst out laughing.
  • In an attempt to break up Danny and Sam, Ember put her love spell on the jocks to make them fall for Sam. Sam is naturally disgusted and disturbed over this.
  • At one point, Tucker attempts to make his robot look more inconspicuous by having it wear a beret and glasses on its head.
    Danny: (Sarcastically) WOOOW-TUCKER. IT'S-LIKE-I-CAN'T-EVEN-TELL-YOU'RE-NOT-REALLY-HERE-AT-All.
  • Box Ghost wearing Danny's clothes.

    Trial By Fire 
  • While Sam was complaining about how people were geeking out over her ghost form, Danny tried to sympathize by saying he finds some of the things the fangirls say about Danny Phantom kind of creepy...only for it to bring out a jealous glare in Sam.
  • When trying figure out what was happening with Sam, Jack was shown to be ecstatic to try out a lot of the equipment they were using, while Jazz thought he was being a little too enthusiastic over turning Danny's girlfriend into a science experiment.
  • Jack Fenton making witty remarks on Undergrowth, much to Maddie’s awe and Jack’s Horror.
  • Sam training to control her fire powers was pretty funny, especially when she accidentally set Dora Mattingly on fire.
  • After Jack tells the Masters' Blasters that ghost hunting is about providing a valuable service to the community and not shameless self-promotion, he asks Maddie to get him a drink.
    Maddie: "Sure thing, Hon. Do you want Fentonade or Fenton-Up?"
    Jack: (Matter-of-factly) Surprise me.
  • "This is Auto Jack with a friendly reminder!" the smiling inflatable mannequin of Jack Fenton announced as he popped out of the control stick, "It's my first landing attempt and I have no insurance!"
  • "Thank you! By fastening your seat belts, you have absolved Fenton Works of all legal responsibility from any injuries sustained during this flight!"

    Hearts and Minds 
  • At the beginning, during the fight with Vortex, Jack and Maddie end up caught up in a giant tornado and don't even realize it.
  • Upon hearing that Danny and Sam fell asleep thanks to a ghost (Nocturne), Jack grabbed a weapon, aimed it at Danny's prostrate form and gave the ghost till the count of three to come out. Jazz had to stop him before he shot Danny in the face.
  • During the climax, Danny and Sam (who don't remember each other) come face to face with Nocturne, and we get this gem:
    Both: NOCTURNE?! HOW DO YOU KNOW NOCTURNE?!
    Danny: Okay, that was weird.
    • Then again, when Tucker appeared:
      Both: TUCKER?! YOU KNOW TUCKER?! RRG! STOP DOING THAT!
  • The ending. You'd have to see it for yourself.

    Pairing Off 
  • This line when Skulker and Technus find themselves stuck together and Skulker orders Technus out:
    "Perhaps your limited intellect is incapable of grasping even a concept THIS simple, but if I KNEW how to split myself away from this primitive smattering of refuse you so amateurishly refer to as technology…DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE IT ALREADY?!?!?!"
  • When it seems that Tucker hacked into SkulkTech's armor, Skulker gives a moaning "Oh, no" before he and Technus go flying into the air.
    Tucker: (Dryly) Okay, that's now OFFICIALLY depressing.
  • Tucker and Valerie encountering SkulkTech in City Hall's underground bunker. Technus said it best:
    Technus: Well, uh, this is awkward.
  • Skulker tells Valerie not to look when he comes out of his armor so she won't see his blob-like true form.

    A Family Thing 
  • After a battle with a ghost bee leaves Danny and Sam covered in ecto-honey, Jack attempted to clean them up with the Ghost Weasel, only to accidentally suck them up. Sam's comment following it was just the icing on the cake:
    "Huh. You know, this is actually slightly roomier than making out in your closet".
  • Jack's Running Gag of accidentally shooting someone with the Fenton Foamer.
    • On the subject of the Fenton Foamer, after Tucker had a laugh riot over Danny and Sam getting sucked into the Ghost Weasel, they end up getting a laugh of their own when Jack blasts Tucker in the face with the Foamer.
      Danny: (While Sam snickers) Okay, now see? THAT'S funny.
  • As everyone else watches Maddie give Vlad (or rather his duplicate) a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, Jack provides comedic commentary.
  • At the end of the story, Jazz, who can't stop staring at Danielle even after she's come to live at the Fenton home for a week, comments on how cute she looks and mentions how Danny might've looked if he was a girl, much to Danny's chagrin.
    Danny: (Sarcastically) Thanks, Jazz. I'm really looking forward to seeing how long it's going to take for me to live THAT one down.

    Stolen Years 
  • Jack causing half the city to blackout, complete with an angry mob appearing on the Fentonworks front step, led by Sam's parents.
    • Followed by Danielle's Is It Always Like This? question and Jazz's subsequent answer.
      • As well as the scene that follows that where the Fenton family emerge from their court date.
    Danielle:"Well, that was everything I needed to know about how to issue a restraining order."
    Danny: "You learn something new everyday."
  • To get away from Operatives O and K, Danny and Sam pull a Fake-Out Make-Out, only this time, there's nothing 'fake' about it.
    Danny: (Indignantly to the Guys in White hovering over him and Sam) Hey! Is it too much to ask for two people to get a little privacy?!
  • The Fentons and Tucker trying to keep Little Danny and Little Sam from tearing apart the house.
  • At the end of the story, following a tender moment between Danny and Maddie. a humorous Mood Whiplash occurs as Jack, Jazz, and Danielle try to follow through with their earlier promise to drop something heavy on Maddie's head if she starts to pine for Danny's childhood again:
    Maddie: Guys! That isn't what I meant!

    Laws of Attraction 
  • During a scene where someone was spying on Danny and Sam having a moment, we get this line from Sam:
    "Hey! Unless you want that door to become a permanent part of your face, I suggest you keep YOUR PEEKING EYES TO YOURSELF!"
  • When Paulina is ranting to Star, she opens what she thinks is the classroom's door. Instead, it's a closet. That Danny and Sam are making out in.
    Sam: Occupado!
  • As freaky as it is, there's Dash in a female cheerleading outfit. And how he got there.
  • Following the above mentioned Dash in a cheerleader outfit, Danny hides from him inside his locker...and then asks Sam to join him, which she considers romantic. Tucker and Valerie's subsequent exchange is just the cherry on top:
    Tucker: (To Valerie) Is it starting to feel like fighting ghosts is about the only normal thing we do anymore? (Valerie nods) That's what I thought.
  • When Danny gives Sam a reassuring smile before going off to deal with Walker's invasion, Paulina thought the Ghost Boy was smiling at her, resulting in a shared line of dialogue between her and Sam:
    Sam & Paulina: Oh, I'm gonna MARRY that man. WHAT DID YOU SAY? NOTHING!
  • We have two of Walker's guards that were unfortunate enough to be guarding Paulina:
    First guard: "Unnh…That's it! I'm putting in a request to get this brat in suspended animation!"
    Second guard: (With his hands over his ears) What?!
  • While searching for Walker's mystery fugitive in the Fenton RV, Jack impulsively turns off the road into the wilderness, resulting in the others getting a really bumpy ride.
    Maddie: (Dizzily) Uh, Jack? You DID know that there was a turnoff road about 50 yards from where you veered off, right?
  • While asking Wulf for help, Jack speaks to him in Esperanto, much to Jazz's shock.
    Jazz: Wait a minute. Dad speaks Esperanto? How does Dad know Esperanto?
    Jack: (Proudly) I have a whole secret life you know NOTHING about.
  • At the end of the story, it's revealed that Wulf followed Danielle back to FentonWorks to which Danielle asked if he could stay.
    Tucker: (Slackjawed) He'd-better-be-housebroken.

    Royal Occupation 
  • Danielle using Wulf as her trick or treating back up, much to Jazz's dismay.
  • Tucker the frog.
  • Sam's idea for a freaky Halloween costume? Dress up like Danny and then make out with him all day. Danny doesn't mind. Valerie and Tucker very much do.
  • Apparently, weird things happen to Jack when he drinks carrot juice before bed.

  • Sam struggling not to laugh when she sees that Dash and Paulina got turned into peasants.

    Junior Hijinks 
  • When the Groovy Gang encounters Danielle, Scaredy Cat runs off, dragging his two companions by the leash back to their van, hops in the driver seat and speeds off to parts unknown.
    Jazz: Anything new happen at school today?
    Danielle: I learned that tigers can drive cars.
    Jazz: (Confused) Huh, I don't remember that subject ever coming up when I was in the seventh grade.
    • Then later, after Danielle deals with the Extreme Ghost Breakers:
    Medic 1: Uuuh-hhhh, not these nuts again.
    Medic 2: (Pointing to Sullivan) Quick, let's just get that one in the back and sedated before he goes and says...
    Sullivan: Extreme!

    What She Wants 
  • While fighting Desiree, the wishing ghost uses her powers to zap Danny and Sam into a 4-H lot, feeding animals. After she takes off, Danny follows, only to find Sam stayed behind to finish feeding them.
    • Earlier, when Valerie, Jazz, and Tucker came to their aid, the three of them clumsily tried to stay on Valerie's jet sled.
  • Sidney and Desire's new jobs at the end will have you howling and feeling fuzzy at the same time.

    Ancient History 
  • At the beginning of the story at Tucker's bi-dietary barbecue, Danny and Sam share a kiss, and Sam's fellow vegetarians are shocked that her boyfriend's a meat eater:
    Sam: He drank something! He washed his mouth out! (Looks to an unimpressed Danny) What? You DID.
  • As a result of Danny and Sam's fight with the Lunch Lady, Sam smells of charred meat and barbecue sauce no matter how many times she's bathed. Danny can't help but snicker, much to her chagrin.
  • The scene featuring the return of Ghost Tucker begins with the narration mentioning how the Fenton Portal had been foolishly left open, before adding that it was most likely Jack who did it.
  • Danielle's reason for her appearance after Amity Park is transformed by the Scarab Scepter.
    "I was just eating in the lunch room, totally minding my own business, when my sandwich...my delicious peanut butter and blueberry jam SAND-wich...turned into...wait for it...SAND! SOMEONE around here owes me an explanation...not to mention LUNCH."
    • Once everything is over, she remembers this and chipperly bids everyone goodbye before flying off to go back to her lunch.
  • When Tucker is explaining to his classmates that Danielle will being doing the major lifting in his plan, Dash mocks the claim, calling her a pipsqueak. Danielle responds by grabbing Dash by his ankle and hoisting him upside down by it.
  • During the climax, we have a Running Gag of Sam setting Hotep-Ra on fire, him regenerating and shouting his Catchphrase "I...AM...RISEN!", only to be set on fire again.
    Hotep-Ra: (After being set on fire for the third time) "OH COME NOW, THAT'S QUITE ENOUGH!"
  • Similar to the ending of "The Million Dollar Ghost", shortly after being dumped into the Ghost Zone, Ghost Tucker and Hotep-Ra end up getting Swallowed Whole by the Tucker-faced sphinxnote . Hotep-Ra moans how he doesn't look forward to the way they'll be getting out.

    Two For One 
  • Tucker reuses his "Victory Through Technology" platform for his mayoral campaign, complete with a poster Danny, Sam, and Tanya are not impressed.
  • After his first meeting with Tanya, Tucker muses that if the next two months are going to be like that, he'd almost rather get caught in a ghost attack...just as Skulker appeared and fired at Team Phantom.
    Tucker: (To an unamused Danny and Sam) I'm guessing this one's on ME, right?
  • At the end of the story, a still-free Skulker tries looking through Vlad's abandoned lab, only to accidentally trigger its defense system, leaving him in a proverbial hard place.
