Hammerstein asks Bubble Bass how his diet is going. Bubble Bass responds with considerable venom with an obvious lie that it’s going fine.
Old Man Jenkins' appearance in the console version. He even makes a reference to ''The Sponge Who Could Fly".
Old Man Jenkins: I knew no good would come from city folk and their doors!
The MM&BB cartoon is full of them.
- Right at the start, as Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy watch a whale choir perform at the Sand Stadium:
  Mermaidman: [nudging his sidekick] Barnacle Boy! Barnacle Boy!
  Barnacle Boy: Oh, what is it now? I'm trying to watch.
  Mermaidman: Who's winning?
  Barnacle Boy: What are you- Oh. Look, I told you: this is a musical performance, not a football game!
  Mermaidman: Nah, you're only saying that because your team's losing!
  (Barnacle Boy tries to argue with this but can't bring himself to do so)
  Mermaidman: [pulls out team flag] Who's court?
- If Patrick gets the role of Maestro, we get this gem:
  Patrick: Huh?! Who are you? And what are you doing in my bathroom?
  Whale: AHEM!
  Patrick: Oh, right. the choir.
- Squidward gives us this gem if he gets the role of the Officer:
  Squidward: I get to arrest people! Hooray!
- If SpongeBob becomes the officer, he gets this:
  Cop!SpongeBob: That rock hasn't even moved for a while, and that seaweed is swaying a little too quickly! That coral looks awfully...
- But what really takes the cake is SpongeBob doing his best siren impression.
  Cop!SpongeBob: I'M REAAAAAADYYYY! I'M REAAAAAADYYYY! I'M REAAAAAADYYYY!
- Mermaid Man's interrogation after getting arrested proves to be... as insightful as you'd expect.
  Realistic Fish Head: When questioned, the elder hero had this to say: "Is that a microphone? Is it time for pudding? Do these pants feel damp to you?"
- If Spongebob wins the role of the Sneaky Hermit, his first appearance is hilarious:
  Sponge!Hermit: [evil laugh] They have arrested Mermaidman, for my crimes! Which... doesn't sound fair really, but... bah! I am a supervillain, and that is what we do! So I guess I should go do more...villainous... type... stuff... [scuttles away while doing his signature laugh]
- You can argue that Squidward makes the best role for the Sneaky Hermit:
  Man Ray: Ah, the famous Sneaky Hermit! We meet at last.
  Dirty Bubble: We just broke out of the joint, and we brought cookies!
  Squid!Hermit: I prefer creme-brulee but come in.
- Heck, just about anyone as the Sneaky Hermit is bound to give some laughs. Spongebob and Patrick try to act villainous but just come off as Adorkable, Squidward flip-flops from being uncharacteristically jolly and his usual Deadpan Snarker self, Sandy is... well... Sandy, and both Plankton and Mr. Krabs ham it up whenever they could.
- As the police officer starts to pursue the pair:
  Mermaidman: Hey, I didn't know we had a radio! Sing along, Barnacle Boy, I love this song! [starts "singing along" to the police siren]
  Barnacle Boy: That's not a song, you twit! It's a police siren! Barnacles! We need to get to the bottom of this disappearing building mystery, and we can't do that if we're arrested!
  [Beat]
  Mermaidman: I'm sorry, I was thinking about cabbage. You were saying?
  Barnacle Boy: FLOOR IT!
- Patrick in the police officer role:
  Cop!Patrick: (static sound) Breaker breaker. (static) What are you talking about? I didn't break anything! (static) No, I just said... (static) You've got a smart mouth! Maybe I should run you in! (static) But you hate running. (static) You've got a smart mouth, mister! Maybe I should run you—
  Police Chief: Officers, be on the lookout for Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy in their Invisible Boatmobile. They are believed to be old and dangerous.
  [Patrick takes his hand out of his mouth]
  Cop!Patrick: Err...hello?
  Police Chief: Officer, have you seen Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy?
  [The Invisible Boatmobile drives past, but Patrick is totally oblivious]
  Cop!Patrick: Have I seen what now?
  Police Chief: That sounded like the Invisible Boatmobile. Was that them?
  Cop!Patrick: Who?
  Police Chief: [losing patience] Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy!!
  Cop!Patrick: Oh... [looks in the direction that the boatmobile went in] Uh, yeah, I guess.
  Police Chief: Apprehend them at once.
  Cop!Patrick: Copy that. Over and out. (static) I'm in hot pursuit. (static) You're not that hot. (static) You've got a smart mouth! Maybe I should—
  Police Chief: NOOOOW!!!!!
  Cop!Patrick: Oh, yeah.
- Patrick also makes for a great warden role.
  Warden!Patrick: Now let's talk about the disappearance of the Sand Stadium. The monster who killed the butler could be in... This. Very. Room.
- As the duo burst into the Chum Bucket:
  Mermaidman: [dramatically] I'll have a burger and fries! [Barnacle Boy roll his eyes and hands him the script] I mean... unhand that captive, you vile fiend!
- When Barnacle Boy asks the waiter at the Krusty Krab if they've seen anything suspicious, they reply that they saw Man Ray dragging a wriggling sack into the Chum Bucket.
  Barnacle Boy: I'd call that suspicious.
  Mermaidman: Cuz no one goes into the Chum Bucket! *rimshot*
  - If Mr. Krabs is the waiter we get this after he tells Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy that he saw it just now out the window.
  Barnacle Boy: Merciful mussels, Mermaidman! We've got work to do!
  Mermaidman: To the Chum Bucket!
  Waiter!Krabs: There's a fee for making dramatic announcements!
- When the hunter says that the Sneaky Hermit has a really big building in his sights, everyone present mishears it.
  The Dirty Bubble: The Hermit wears tights?
  Barnacle Boy: The permit test bites?
  Man Ray: Old Hermit was right?
  Mermaidman: The jelly pudding was likely toasted in pajammies?!
- The various methods Mermaidman uses to try and shut off the Chum Bucket machinery and free the captive include pressing a few buttons, using Barnacle Boy as a wrench, throwing a ball at Barnacle Boy (repeatedly), and... wearing a sunhat.
- This gem of a line from Patrick as the captive.
  Captive!Patrick: Thank goodness you're here! I was starting to get definition in my thigh muscles. (close-up shot revealing Patrick was not lying about that).
- Man Ray makes his first appearance in the cell next to Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy's. After an intense staredown, He eventually reveals he got locked up because he got caught jaywalking.
If none of the players reach the required score for a location, Gill Hammerhead will freak out and call them out for their terrible acting.
Terrible. Just terrible. Get back in there and do better.
Seemed like such a good idea. Cast some unknowns, get the ratings up, easy! Nobody told me they're all unknowns because THEY HAVE NO TALENT! Please, don't let me down! Go back and do better!
Eh? What? Who? Ohhhhh, that was terrible! Get back in there and do better! Feel the roles, be the roles. Amateurs... Trained dolphins could do a better job. [mimics a dolphin chirping]
[banging his head against the desk] How! Can! They! Be! So! Bad! Just! Go! Back! And! Try! Harder! Please!
What was that? Was that acting? I don't think so. Try again!
That was atrocious! Go back to acting school! I couldn't cast you in a pond with that effort. Get back in there AND DO BETTER! [camera falls over]
