Funny / The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

Go To

  • In "Eye Sea You", K'nuckles does laundry by dropping it onto the sea from the docks, and admits to Flapjack that he never done laundry before. So he spends several days at the docks waiting for his clothes to be clean.
    Flapjack: How's the laundry?
    K'nuckles: (sitting down sulking) Stupid!
    [Some dolphins are wearing K'nuckles clothes.]
  • Flapjack barges into Doctor Barber's place, while he is treating a patient in a darkly-lit room. Doctor Barber turns around and is all covered in red stuff, looking menacing. He then takes a step to the side, kindly asking if Flapjack wants a strawberry-jam sandwich; and there is a plate of strawberry jam sandwiches lying on the patient's stomach.
  • Most of the Nightmare Fuel moments also qualify as this, which means there are LOTS of these:
  • In "How the West Was Fun", Bubbie reports they're low on "food, water, and overall enthusiasm". Pan out to K'nuckles, who is suddenly wearing a pair of literal Enthusiasm Overalls.
    K'nuckles: She's right, boy...this is my last pair.
    • And then the singers who narrate closeups get in on it with a little country jingle.
      ''Overall enthusiasm, overall enthusiasm, overall enthusiasm, yeeeeeeehaw!
  • In one episode, Flapjack keeps getting pestered by a little boy who keeps giggling at him. Flapjack eventually tells him to "grow up", and the "little boy" replies, in a surprisingly deep voice,"Grow up? I'm 38 years old!"
  • Flapjack's face when he goes "WAT?" in "Oh, Brother"
  • According to "Rye Ruv Roo", Captain K'nuckles is easily impressed.
    K'nuckles: (to the Colonel) You may have Flap and the rich lady under your spell, but it's going to take more that to impress m-
    Colonel: (does a back flip)
    K'nuckles: (slo mo) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
    • When Flapjack first pretends to be Colonel:
      Lady Nickelbottoms: Is that really the Colonel?
      Charles: I don't think so, milady. Shall I take him to the pound to have him fixed?
      (Flapjack is immediately horrified)
      Lady Nickelbottoms: Oh heavens no!
      (Flapjack's pleased...)
      Lady Nickelbottoms: You can fix him out back.
      (And then Flap's grin slowly reverses into a frown)
      Lady Nickelbottoms: But do it gently.
      Charles: Milady.
  • While it may be Nightmare Fuel for some, the moon from "Lost at Land" has its moments.
    The Moon: (laughs) That's not an island...
    • There's also the moment when Flap and K'nuckles start clawing through everything in their path with their sharp untrimmed fingernails. Through, trees, stone and even a freaking waterfall.
  • Any time the background singers narrate what is happening or repeat a line of dialogue is guaranteed to be a CMoF.
  • "There's a lady in a big red hat."
    • "Are you makin' fun of me, boy!?"
  • In "Mechanical Genie Island", K'nuckles is fed up with being a mechanical genie's slave, freaks out and quits. It has to be seen to be believed.
  • Flapjack and Knuckles hilariously abusing the Magic Mermaid Wishes in "Gone Wishin'" for ridiculously petty wishes, such as Flapjacks wish for "x-ray vision, freakishly tall legs and the ability to spit anchors", and Knuckles wasting wishes on moving a suitcase around.
    • Also borders on Nightmare Fuel, but the Sky Maid's parting speech to Flapjack.
      Sky Maid: Never stop wishing, Flapjack, and all your dreams will come true!
      Flapjack: ...Even the scary ones?
      Sky Maid: (giggles) YES.
    • Plus, Flapjack's Imagine Spot of a strange blend of himself and K'nuckles.
      "Finally, we are one."
  • The Inventor from "Several Leagues Under the Sea" losing the race with Bubbie because he jettisoned the whole crew for his mechanical whale to use as ammunition.
  • Peppermint Larry ending up on Pickled Island, where Candy Wife runs off with an anthropomorphic pickle to his horror.
  • K'nuckles challenging Bubbie to a fight and immediately getting curb-stomped with minimal effort.
    K'nuckles: I'LL FIGHT YOU, WHALE!
    [K'nuckles immediately gets whale-punched by Bubbie, knocking off his hat]
    K'nuckles: [dazed] Bwah-hah-huh....ugh-heheheh....is that the best you can-
    [K'nuckles gets floored by another whale-punch, this time knocking off his nose]
    K'nuckles: [now on the ground] ...what were we doin'?
  • This exchange from "These Boots Were Made for Walking (On Your Face)":
    Flapjack: Bubbie?
    Bubbie: Yeah, baby?
    Flapjack: I miss K'nuckles.
    Bubbie: I don't.
  • "Foot Burn" has its moments:
    • K'nuckles reminisces about pushing a girl he met into the sea and getting her eaten by a giant squid. Later at the end of the episode, the girl (who is now all grown up and in charge of the Stormalong trolley) gets to do the same to K'nuckles - especially after he repeatedly insulted her and then threw her out of the trolley - and she grins just before the deed, as if to say "I've always wanted to do this".
    • The episode revolves around K'nuckles and Flapjack trying to get over to Bubbie because of the titular foot burn, and to do so, they decide to take the trolley. Here's the kicker: they got to the trolley by walking on their hands. And inside the trolley, they both stand on their burning feet just fine. They already had the means to get home and the foot burn wasn't even as bad as they made it out to be. Especially funny is that the two never even seem to realize this and choose to ride the trolley anyway.
    • K'nuckles calls the trolley lady several rude things, and then has the audacity to say:
      K'nuckles: And between you and me and the floorboards, I think that trolley hag's got something against me.
  • The Man With A Little Girls Voice!
    • Not to mention the reveal after the song; he's actually an extremely brawny, bald woman. Who has a daughter with a deep, gravely man voice and a dog that meows like a cat. Flapjack's expression is hilarious.
    • Insecure about his girly voice (due to being mistaken for a girl by several people), Flapjack has Dr. Barber change it... which ends up being an ACTUAL girls voice, since Dr. Barber thought the problem was that Flapjack wasn't happy with his little boys voice.
    Flapjack: Hey, you knew I was a boy!
    Barber: I'm a doctor!
  • The unrelenting savagery of Punsy Mc Hale, particularly this barb he slung Peppermint Larry's way at the pun-off.
    Larry: So I have a funny story to tell ya!
    Punsy: Why don't you make it 10 stories and then jump?
