Funny / The Mad Scientists' Club

• Mayor Scragg's Opinion Flip Flop about whether Harmon is a genius the town should be proud of or a dumb scoundrel in the climax of "The Big Egg", when Harmon tries to show up the Mad Scientists' Club in front of a visiting scientist and reporters but turns out to have been outsmarted.
• In "The Secret of the Old Cannon", Mr. Snodgrass pins a Scragg campaign button to the back of rival candidate Abner Sharples’ shirt.
• Every line from the eponymous character (loosely speaking) in "The Unidentified Flying Man of Mammoth Falls" (a mannequin with a radio transmitter who everyone thinks is a real person and insists he can fly if he jumps off a rooftop), especially once "he" (or rather the club member on the other end of the radio) and Mayor Scrag start trading barbs.
• In "The Cool Caravan":
  • Freddy and Dinky combine awesomeness and hilarity by making a series of decreasing bids at an auction to fluster the auctioneer into accepting their lowball offer for a war surplus midget sub. Observing their Fat and Skinny appearances, the auctioneer quips that he's obviously blessed with the presence of the grandsons of Laurel and Hardy.
  • The club gets into an argument about how to keep the sub safe from Harmon Muldoon, and after Mortimer insults one of Freddy's ideas, Freddy suggests that Mortimer take the sub to the bottom of the lake every night.
• In "Big Chief Rainmaker":
  • Freddy hungrily volunteers for lookout duty at an apple orchard during a rainmaking experiment until he's told he'll be posted far away from the apples.
  Freddy: Let the minutes reflect that I withdraw my offer.
  Homer (who's recording the meeting's minutes) Noted, but not approved.
  • Everyone getting mad at the Mad Scientists' Club when their rainmaking experiments go too far, leading to a hailstorm and then fifteen straight days of rain that leaves everyone desperately scrambling for any method that finally might make the rain they previously wanted so badly (due to a drought) stop. Mayor Scragg puts Mrs. Larabee in charge of stopping it just to get her out of his hair, only for her to come up with a rain dance to solve the crisis, and for that to (possibly) work.
• In the climax of "The Flying Sorcerer", one of the club members has to ride back home on the running board of Zeke's truck after sitting on a cowpie, as a good bit of Mood Whiplash after the flying saucer's destruction.
• In "The Great Confrontation":
  • Freddy and Heroic Pet Kaiser Bill have a few clashes over food, with Freddy even eyeing Bill's soup bone jealously at one point.
  • When two of Harmon's cronies get stranded on an island in the lake, he has Stony paddle a log over to bring them back, with their clothes piled on top of the log. Once they put their clothes back on, they make the unpleasant discovery that the log was infested with ants.
• In The Big Kerplop!:
  • Mrs. Larrabee and the rest of the Garden Circle march up to the town hall to force their way past the guards and protest the unsuccessful search for the last atom bomb, while chanting colorful slogans all the while. The wives of Mayor Scragg and Chief Putney are among the group and threaten to stop cooking their suppers if they try to break up the crowd or lie to the women.
  • A watermelon farmer who is fed up with how fear of radioactivity is hurting his crop sales ends up driving to town hall and dumping a truckload of melons on Colonel March’s staff car.
• In The Big Chunk of Ice:
  • The cast have joined a blimp expedition to Austria when Professor Stratavarious, the pilot, has a Did Not Think This Through Oh, Crap! moment after realizing that the flight will take three days and he can't stay awake for that long. When Jeff offers to spell him while he sleeps, Stratavarious says that it took him years to learn how to fly the blimp, but he can do compressed training just like the time-lapse glacier video he just showed them. He (seemingly seriously) says that if he captured a hundred years of glacier movement in three minutes, then by that ratio, he can train Jeff in four seconds. The training turns out to be a series of Captain Obvious comments that Jeff already knew, causing the professor to sheepishly wonder why it was so much harder for him all those years ago.
  • The professor steps out of the blimp to greet a local crowd and promptly sinks up to his hips in soft snow as a marching band plays.
  • Homer talks about what he'd use a Famed In-Story missing diamond to buy: a yacht, a plane, and catcher's mitt.
