Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds

• A Dummied Out clip of Freddi feeding Eddie the Eel Luther, with a small gab at the camera for good measure.
  Luther: Watcha thinking about, Freddi?
  Freddi: Oh, nothing, Luther.

Case of the of the Haunted School House

• The two sharks aren't really...convincing as a Ghost.
• When they see Casey who lost his glasses and can't see.
  Luther: Gee, Casey, you're really making a spectacle of yourself. Get it? Glasses? Spectacles?
• Luther using the submarine's steering wheel, and then getting hurt afterwards.
  Freddi: (staring at the wheel) Luther, I think you've hit on something!
  Luther: Yes, unfortunately it was something very hard...
• Freddi trying to get the diving helmet off the suit.
  Freddi: Luther, could you give me a hand here?
  Luther: (clapping) I really appreciate the great job you're doing, Freddi.
• Luther and the fish hook.
  Luther: Mm-mm! Chocolate-covered Worm Doodles. My favorite...
  Freddi: Luther, no! You'll get hooked!
  Luther: Huh? Hooked on junk food?
• At the Pulley Emporium:
  Freddi: Hi, Barnacle Bob.
  Luther: We're here to buy a pullet.
  Barnacle Bob: A pullet? (scratches head) Forgive me for looking a wee bit stricken, but you said you needed a small female chicken?
  • Or this exchange in the emporium:
    Luther: This place is just full of fun stuff to play with!
    Freddi: The sign says if you break anything, you'll have to buy it.
    Luther: Sometimes, I like to play with things from a distance.
• The theater's commercial for Worm Doodles advertises all the flavors they come in by showing pictures of the flavor's basis hovering around a package of the candy... and then, after orange-flavored, comes red-flavored. They simply represent this by surrounding the candy with the word "Red".
  • One of the movie previews in the theater, for a horror flick called Curse of the Sardine, shows an explorer disturbing a mummified sardine who proceeds to stick their tongue at the guy. The explorer's horrified reaction is priceless.

The Case of the Missing Conch Shell

• One of Luther's responses to the fortune teller machine is "I wonder if my mother is hiding inside this machine and writing these things."
• When Pierre mends the sail back together, Luther gets this Literal-Minded moment.
  Pierre: Voila! C'est fini!
  Luther: Fini! (Beat, while Freddi blankly stares at him) Well, he said to say it. Sheesh!
• Claw's punishment if he's revealed to be the thief is a bit much. As if being sentenced to attend ballet for bullies wasn't bad enough, he has to wear a tutu and little pink dance slippers for the rest of the school year.
• If one of the pipes get stuck on a banana tree, Luther will attempt to move it with "TELEKINESIS, the raw power of my brain!" It doesn't work... but he does unknowingly lift the sunken plane out of the ocean.

The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briney Gulch

• The Epic Fail of the rustlers as a whole.
• Heck, this game probably has the funniest writing of any of the games, helped by the fact that it was the only one Dave Grossman had a hand in. Case in point...
  Moray: Goby, I'm at my wit's end! These hogfish are driving me crazy! They won't eat or sleep...and they're so NOISY! Where'd they get the ACCORDION?!
  Goby: *gulp* Uh, I dunno. Did you try telling them that story about your trip to Akron? That always puts me to sleep.
  Moray: Oh, thanks a lot.
• The Super Rubble Bubble bubblegum can be given to Freddi or Luther at any time before it's used to placate the hungry shark. Freddi always spits it out, complaining it tastes like rubber, while Luther will thoroughly enjoy it (at one point even stating that he likes the "rubbery flavor"), usually make an unsuccessful attempt to blow a bubble, and always end up swallowing it. In one variation, he swallows it immediately, without even chewing it first. Right after Freddi remarks he will do just that.
• Hammerhead and Sawfish, who, when tasked to build a dance floor for a square dance, made it round instead of square. Clicking on them several times before they've fixed the floor results in some hysterical passive-aggressive banter between the two of them, seen in its entirety here:
  Sawfish: It's a shame, it's such a nice floor.
  Hammerhead: Yeah. Too bad someone cut it round.
  Sawfish: Well, someone left a coffee stain on our plans.
  Hammerhead: I might not have spilled the coffee if someone hadn't filled my cup so full.
  Sawfish: Well maybe someone should use a bigger cup.
  Hammerhead: I might use a bigger cup if someone made better coffee.
  Sawfish: You know, we might get better coffee if someone dipped into the coffee fund more than, say, once a year.
  Hammerhead: We might get better funding if someone didn't keep cutting round squares when we needed square squares!
  • Once you give them the right board, they set to work on fixing the floor. As in, they just hammer a giant nail into it. However, Hammerhead keeps missing the nail every time he tries to hit it, so Sawfish grabs him and bashes him onto the nail.
• The note with the combination says to eat it (and it has a bite taken out of it). If you click on it after unlocking the door to the rustlers' hideout:
  Luther: Hey, Freddi. Can we eat this note now like it says?
  Freddi: Well... I guess we won't need the combination anymore.
  (Luther crumples up the note and eats it; Beat)
  Freddi: Well?
  Luther: (disgusted) I can see why the rustlers didn't eat it! It tasted like paper!
• When you give Sahara Slim a suitcase in exchange for the rustler's bandana he is using for his Bindle Stick, he is revealed to have a ridiculously large amount of things (Kitchen Sink Included) that he managed to contain in such a small bandana, much to Freddi and Luther's surprise.
• The unusual soda flavors at the Soda-loon, ranging from "Peppermint" to "Bologna". Some of them have unique reactions from Freddi and Luther when upon drinking them.
  • Pickle
    Luther: (as he and Freddi pucker up from the soda's sourness) Smooth.
  • Prickly Pear
    Luther: (sticking out his tongue which has several thorns stuck in it) I think I have a prickle stuck in my tongue.
    Freddi: I like the prickly pear flavor!
  • Walnut
    Luther: (as he and Freddi start chewing after drinking) I think that's the crunchiest soda I've ever had.
    Freddi: It might be better if they left the shells out.
  • Spicy Mango
    Luther: (breathes smoke) I think there's a lot more "spicy"... in that than... there is "mango".
    Freddi: Yikes! I think so, too.
  • Tumbleweed
    Luther: (tumbles around) I think the tumbleweeds are still tumbling.
  • Pumpkin
    Luther: (flexes his now-beefy muscles) Pumpkin pumps me up!
• The Soda-loon mini-game is funny in and of itself: the bartender slides the sodas across the counter, and if you don't click on them in time, they fall off the counter and shatter on the floor. She even lampshades it at one point.
• Luther will eat a mouthful of spice from the barrels at the sunken ship, resulting in him either breathing fire from the cayenne, sneezing from the pepper, or puckering up from the lemongrass.

  Freddi: (on his puckered face) Can your eyes see each other when you do that?

• The hogfish splattering Moray with cake.

The case of the Creature of Crystal Cove

• Luther's epic Jaw Drop upon seeing one of Xamfier's three gigantic eyes up-close.
