---

• The Bog King's minion trying to explain the mangled message that Gossip Evolution created.
  Thang: You know how sometimes we have a shark and nowhere to store it? Well, a very tall chef has that very same problem.
• Marianne going through all the fairy boys that Dawn could like while making silly expressions to represent them.
• Griselda tries to enlist one of the minions to help her matchmaking attempts.
  Griselda: Don't you want love to return to the Dark Forest?
  Stuff: (bored) No.
• The entire first scene of the Sugarplum Fairy. Her expression looks serious at first and then she reveals her true colors. Sunny looks baffled throughout it all and freaks out at her singing during the potion making process.
  • While Sugarplum makes the potion, Griselda again tries to set Bog up with a date. It spirals out of control when Bog has to defend himself from Maxine (a creature that resembles his mother, with oxen horns) by head-butting her when she charges him, and Lecresia (a Rhinoceros Beetle) stabs him in the butt, and offers him some flowers.
  Griselda: (after Bog literally clamps her mouth shut to shut her up) This is what I get for carrying you twenty-three months in my womb!
• Sunny's abrupt change in expression as he realizes with relief that the Imp survived the fall. This is after he threw the Imp off a cliff.
  Sunny: (apprehensively) Little guy?
  Imp: (cheerful noise)
  Sunny: Oh, good. Bye!
• The crowd reaction shot of every minion at the Bog King's castle silently going "What the hell?" at Dawn singing her love for the Bog King. All of them were hoping to eat her, so this is like your dinner getting up to sing how much it loves you.
  • The beginning of said sequence:
  Dawn: (singing) SUGAR PIE HONEY BUNCH!
  Bog: What?
• When Marianne shows up to attack him, Bog comments on how she's at least not singing...whoops, spoke too soon. Cue Straight On.
• Dawn repeatedly calling The Bog King Boggy Woggy and him immediately correcting her to Bog. Doesn't matter if its a hostage situation, it's Bog. Until the end, where she finally calls him Bog and he corrects her as Boggy.
  • Particularly the time she flies in front of him to protect him, and he has to crane his neck to deliver the correction over her shoulder and wing.
• Marianne's reaction to Dawn falling in love with the Bog King, and his reaction.
  Marianne: You?
  Bog King: (embarrassed) Yes.
  Marianne: Antidote?!
  Bog King: Working on it.
  Marianne: I know she's a girl who falls in love with every guy she sees, but this is ridiculous! (gestures at the Bog King)
  Bog King: I...uh
  Marianne: (pulls out sword and smiles)
  Thang: Uh sire, I forgot to mention you forgot your weapon upstairs. But I found your boutonniere!
  • Later on in the scene, the minions Stuff and Thang then trying to copy the Bog King's smug sword lean stance but have nowhere near enough swagger to pull it off.
  • We also have the opening and closing of the cell door, with Dawn bursting into song every time. Marianne's expression there is priceless.
• If one re-watches, the "this is ridiculous" comment is particularly ironic knowing that Marianne will sincerely fall in love with the Bog King.
• The fairy king falling unconscious upon seeing his daughter kiss an elf, right after giving the aesop on not judging people by their appearances.
• The Sugar Plum Fairy reveals why she needed all those things for the antidote to the love potion, even though the antidote is really a riddle.
  Sugar Plum Fairy: Well when you're in prison, IT'S HARD TO SHOP! Now do you want to hear the riddle or not?
  • Marianne and the Bog King take too long solving the riddle so Sugar Plum decides to tell them the answer. Then she says the answer is going to be hidden in a story!
  • Everything the Sugar Plum Fairy says, really. She's so dang nuts. And we have no idea if it's from being locked up for so long or if she was always like that.
• The Imp smugly saluting Sunny midair and is promptly swallowed by Lizzie the lizard. Then, Sunny's response when the Imp acts like it won't hand over the love potion despite being nearly eaten.
  Sunny: Oh, yeah, go on and think. I'll just wait for you at the other end of the lizard.
• The shocked look on the Bog King's face and his minions' nervous laughter at Marianne saying she was expecting something... more from him.
• Marianne's implied Engagement Challenge, telling her father that she'll consider getting married to whichever boy she can look in the eyes, hold hands with, and not want to punch. The irony of her falling in love with the Bog King, whose first meeting with her involved her punching him in the face, is staggering.
• Griselda popping up from behind a potted plant to say "Teachable moment! There are no shortcuts in love.", right after the Bog King has been devastated by the revelation of how the love potion failed to work.
• This during Roland's Villain Love Song:
  Roland: I wish that I was dead!
  Marianne: I could help you with that!
• After the love potion is dispelled with help from Sonny, Dawn "breaks up" with the Bog King, saying "It's not you, it's me." Then she drags her sister away to order Marianne to tell Bog that Marianne loves him.
• The post-credits scene has the mushrooms passing on a message which eventually reaches Thang, who shares it with the audience: "Tea Blend!" The mushrooms who whispered it to him both react with exasperation, suggesting that the message was entirely intact throughout the entire chain ... until it reached Thang.
• Sunny giving a short, rousing speech asking for volunteers to help rescue Dawn, answered by the sound of crickets. More precisely, one cricket who's in the audience. The rest of the elves glare at it, and it is cowed into silence.
• Roland using the Imp as a white flag when reaching the Goblin castle.
• During Roland's Serenade Your Lover Villain Love Song "Come On Marianne" he and his companions break-out a step dance routine. In the middle of it, Dawn pops-up out of nowhere, between two tall fairy knights, and without missing a beat in the dance, introduces herself to them, with flirty handgestures.
  Dawn Hi, I'm Dawn!
  • When Roland trips and hits his head on the floor, Marianne's companion nymphs act as Circling Birdies to him, chirping "Cheater! Cheater! Cheater! Cheater! Cheater!", before smacking him on the head simultaneously.
  • Marianne's Nymph attendants imitate her mannerisms while she sings "Stronger", and it's adorable how they're obviously trying to look as badass as Marianne.
