    • Ruby debating whether Astrodactyl could take down Animo's T-Rex.
      "Well, given dinosaur facts…" Ruby said. "I think the T-Rex would win given the smaller, frailer form of the pterodactyl. You know, cause the T-rex has a large jaw, size…"
      Ben gasped, offended. "Oh? Really then!" He opened his mouth wide, and fired a flurry of strange, green wisps that flew at the bird, exploding upon contact. The bird fell to the ground, with a big SPLAT! "CAN PTERODACTYLS DO THAT?"
      Ruby blinked. "Ok, yeah, I think you win the matchup."
  • Chapter 3:
    • The opening pokes fun at the original opening scene of the episode.
      "And for you?" The older employee asked Ben. Ben thought for a second, before hearing a loud, metal thrash outside. He mischievously grinned, knowing something was up.

      Ruby: Show off.

      Ben: It's kind of a shame that he doesn't use the ultimates more often.
      Ruby: Yeah, kind of defeats the whole gimmick of the series. And even when he does, they're usually small. Remember when he used it against the Lord of all Evil during the Hero Generation finale? That was a cool time to use it. Not during some stupid battle in a tunnel.
      Ben: Yeah. Plus, when anti-Ishyama used it against him? Totally awesome. Seeing the Jurassic techniques at their fullest were some of the coolest moments of Hero Generation.
      Ruby: I'm glad someone sees where I'm coming from! Mega Sumos is just a lame continuation of Hero Generation.

Blake reassures her that she was right to keep it a secret.
    • Rook tries to ask Glynda a question about the Beacon dorms, which she interrupts, assuming that he wanted to know if they were co-ed or not. He actually wanted to know if they had showers, and is baffled that she assumed that's what he wanted to ask. She then leaves before actually answering the question, causing Rook to pout.
    • Penny greets Ruby with The Glomp, as usual, causing Ruby to go "WHY"! She also assumes that Ben and Ruby are dating, and when she learns that Ben's team has five members and that they're not using the letters of their name, claims that doing so is actually illegal.

  • Chapter 41: "Kevin Puts His Health at Risk": just the title alone should get some attention.
    • Kevin making a series of bad choices- from drinking BBQ sauce to eating a bunch of lava cakes, and then eating a bunch of McRibs - you can understand why this chapter is called that.
    • Lev apparently challenged Kevin to eat those McRibs because he KNOWS he would win.

    • Winter immediately assumes that Kylie calling is about asking permission to date Weiss.

  • Chapter 50:
    • "Brianna" doesn't like wearing a skit, feeling like some perv's going to snap a picture up it. Weiss calls that implausible... because phones are turned off during class hours. When "Brianna" makes a retort, we get a rehash of the canon "combat skirt" low five scene.

      Verdona: Okay, zoomer.
      Ben: ...what the hell? Since when did you know memes?

      Kylie: I'm glad I was excluded from your ogling.
    • This description:
      Ben grinned as he kicked the balls at Cardin. He raised up his weapon and started to deflect the attacks, sending them flying across the arena...And then one hit Ceres in the head.
