Go To

  • Crush, Chop and Burn
    • The introduction of the Lab Rats, who are already bickering like siblings when Leo first comes across them. Adam punches the doors of the lab open to hoist Chase up while demanding to have his ePod back, only for it to turn out to be with Bree, who berates Adam for listening to Taylor Swift.
    Adam: I find her soothing!
    • Minutes later, when Leo brings up having to go to school, Chase points out that he and his siblings have spent all their lives in the lab, like "human lab rats". Cut to Adam happily riding a giant hamster wheel.
    • When Eddy tries to prevent the Lab Rats from leaving the lab.
    Leo: OK, we need to shut that thing off!
    Chase: Never gonna happen, OK? Eddy is an incredibly complex and sophisticated piece of machinery. It would take years before—
    [Adam yanks off Eddy's wires, turning him off in one go]
    Adam: Aha! Sweet! I barely got electrocuted!
    • The Rats' first exploits in school, notably Adam yanking off a locker door and Chase having a panic attack when the bell rings.
  • Leo's Jam
    • The plan to get Leo to go to the dance with Danielle. Leo and Adam stage having Leo rescue Adam from the locker fallen on top of him, complete with Bad "Bad Acting". Danielle sees this, and is impressed... Not by Leo, but by Adam and how he seemingly came out unscathed from the "accident".
    • An angry Leo pouncing on Adam and trying to attack him, while Adam doesn't even flinch. This is quickly followed by Chase pulling them apart and comparing the situation to "a chihuahua fighting a horse".
    • The Refrigerator Dance.
    Chase: I'm swinging an invisible pickle!
  • Rats on a Train
    • Adam tricks Chase into thinking his suit is stained, only to flick his nose up. Chase attempts the same trick on him, but it doesn't work, as Adam actually thinks there's a stain on his suit.
  • Exoskeleton vs. Grandma
    • Adam's attempt at making spaghetti bolognese, particularly when he covers one eye to use half his heat vision for "low heat".
  • Bionic Showdown
    • Mr. Davenport's highkicks are seen by everyone, even Douglas when he reveals he was spying on them for months.
    Chase: Mr. Davenport, we bust our butts all the time. And all you ever do is sit around the lab making lists of things we did wrong.
    Donald: I do not just sit around making lists of things you did wrong. (hides tablet screen)
    Leo: That's true. He also practices taekwondo in his tighty-whities.
    Donald: They are not tighty-whities. They are breathable exercise briefs.
    Eddy: Whatever they are, keep your swinging high kicks away from my screen!
    • Douglas reveals that he tricked everyone, including their mother that he was dead.
    Douglas: That's what I wanted you to think. And the FBI, and Mom. That woman does not stop calling.
    Douglas: What're you gonna do? Call Mommy? If you do, don't tell her I'm alive.
  • Death Spiral Smackdown
    • To help them win the Smackdown, Leo sneaks power pellets into Adam's cereal, and the side effects of this soon make themselves known. Adam is clearly at his most feral, growling like a wild animal and unsettling Leo more than once. His strength is also out of control, as demonstrated when they get back home.
    Adam: Oh, I need some more of that yummy cereal!
    Leo: [running towards the counter] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! [sitting on the counter to block Adam] No more cereal.
    Adam: Why not?
    Leo: Because... We're out of milk.
    Adam: No, we're not! [opens the fridge and takes the milk carton] It's right... Here! [crushes the milk carton in his hand]
  • Back from the Future
    • Leo's secret agent handshake.
    • Donald is horrified at the video of his older future self with balding grey hair and a very ample belly.
    Future!Donald: Oh, one more thing? Every time you say "hey, I think this calls for a cookie", think about this...
    '(starts to lift up his shirt as it cuts to Donald, Leo and Future!Leo all screaming in horror)
  • Chip Switch
    • Leo gets trapped in elevator with his mean Principal, Principal Perry, and the Rats' all have wrong chips in them, so they have to go back home to switch them back.
    Chase: Leo, we have to run home real quick. Don't go anywhere!
    Leo: Really? Where am I gonna go?!
    Principal Perry: (raises hands) Don't come over here.
  • Drone Alone
    • The fact that Leo turned on the Lemp because he thought it was a nightlight.
    • The Rats' glitches: Adam could only speak backwards, Bree sprinted to the middle of the desert and had a whacked navigation system, and Chase could only see pixels.
    • Donald's final message.
    Donald: How could I have died? I was so young!
    • The Reveal that instead of sending Bree the coordinates for the house, Chase sent the drone that handled all navigation the coordinates.
  • Dude, Where's My Lab?
    • Adam's reaction to Chase tricking him into staying behind in the portable lab.
    Adam: Wait, did he just do what I think he did? [gasps] He did! He went to the beach without his sun hat!
    • When Leo and the Lab Rats are putting on their "boardwalk sideshow", Chase steps up to show off his mathematical prowess, but Leo cuts him short before he can even start.
  • Speed Trapped
    • Leo's glare at Marcus
    • Leo trying to get out of the car.
    Car: Would you like to take a survey?
    Leo: No!
    Car: Question number one:
    Leo: Let me out! Let me out!
  • Leo’s interactions with Marcus are generally pretty hilarious, particularly Marcus’s first appearance where Leo explains that they have gym together... plus several other classes... and they’re lab partners in chemistry. It’s unclear if Marcus is just screwing with him or if he really wasn’t aware, both interpretations being equally hilarious.
  • Spy Fly
    • The B-plot of this episode, in which Adam and Chase intentionally try to sabotage each other's health class projects. Specifically having to raise baby dolls, which eventually leads to a good bit of Black Comedy as the sabotage attempts escalate to absurd levels.
    • Chase puts Adam's doll in a waffle maker, so what does Adam do? Blast Chase's with his heat vision, setting its face on fire, and resulting in Chase having to stomp it out.
    Adam: Aww, that is a face that only a father can love.
    (Beat as Chase glares at Adam's own doll, which had its head turned into a waffle)
    Adam: Oh. (He sheepishly hides away his doll)
    • Adam's face when his doll is carried away by a swarm of robotic flies.
    • Also, at the end of the episode, Adam gets a bunch of dolls, naming them abnormal things (specifically to get them to stop crying), except one who he called Ted.
  • Missin' the Mission
    Bree: Don't look at us. You're the one that gave Super-Strength to a box of rocks.
  • Leo vs. Evil
    • The technique Chase uses to beat Adam in arm wrestling: licking his hand.
      • Which is even funnier when Leo uses that same technique to escape from Marcus. Coupled with Marcus' reaction.
    Marcus: Ewww! Why would you do that?!
    • During Leo's filming of Marcus' lair...
    Leo: Bam, evil lair. Bam, Marcus' capsule. Bam, Marcus- MARCUS?!
    • Leo's countless snarks to Marcus.
  • Adam Up
    • When the first Adam clone is created, he and the original Adam spend a good few seconds marveling at each other... Before turning around and shaking their butts.
    • When Leo and Adam find out three more Adam clones have been created, the original Adam considers starting a boy band with them.
    • "AND YOU FRIED BEYONCÉ! WE'RE EVEN!"
    • When most of the Adam clones are vaporized and there are only two Adams left, what is it that gives away the real Adam? Him throwing Chase across the hall.
    • The final scene, in which it turns out one of the Adam clones survived and is working as a pizza delivery boy.
  • Sink or Swim
    • While Donald, Leo and Tasha are looking through the wreckage of the lab:
    Leo: My mission specialist desk?! Okay, this just got real! I'm gonna hurt Douglas where he lives!... as soon as I find out where he lives.
    • After Douglas shows to Adam, Bree and Chase that he destroyed the lab:
    Chase: If anything happened to our family, I will end you.
    Adam: Yeah! And then we'll put your body in an old lady dress so everyone laughs during your funeral!
  • Which Father Knows Best?
    • Every attempt by Adam and Chase to ride the Davencycle without it looking awkward.
  • Brother Battle
    • Douglas is reciting complaints Donald made about him when they were children.
    "He didn't do the dishes! He left my bike out! He reanimated my dead gerbil and now it's a monster!"
  • Face Off
    Chase: Thank you for a lovely evening.
  • Left Behind
    • The implication that Leo used laser cutters to remove Chase's mission suit from Donald. And later on, Chase personally finds out this.
  • Mission Mania
    • Leo's commercial advertising himself as the leader of the team. It escalates to a point where later on, the group sees a billboard... With Leo flexing an exaggerated muscle for its visual.
  • Human Eddy
    • This
    Chase: Hey, great news, everybody.
    Adam: You scored a goal in your junior soccer league?
    Bree: You finally fit into men's pants?
    Leo: You're going bald?
    Chase: Why would that be good news?
    Leo: You already act like a boring old man. Might as well look the part.
    • During the interview Chase manage to bore the president and the commity by taking about himself.
    • Eddy and Donald are fighing over the tablet, the Lab Rats all have weird expressions on their faces.
  • Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med
    • The fact that Adam KO'd the Crusher, whom is said to the strongest man in the universe, is awesome, yet funny at the same time.
  • On the Edge
    • Adam's comically dopey nature can sometimes leak into more serious moments.
    When Donald is announcing S-1's blindness:
    Donald: No amount of bionics will fix this. It's permanent.
    Solemn beat.
    Adam: Permanent for how long?
  • And Then There Were Four
    • Adam, Bree, and Chase's original names were "Big Boy", "Little Boy" and "Not a Boy".
    • Everyone's reaction to secrets being exposed.
  • Space Colony
    • Dr. Gao casually describing his evil plans:
    "I've got colonists to inject, and a bionic army to assemble. The workday grind just never ends".
  • The Vanishing
    • When the team arrives at Giselle's lab.
    Donald: Wow. Man, this place is fancy.
    Donald: Really?
    Douglas: No!
