  • Anderson's Funhouse, specifically when Al was in the Tiny Bubbles room.
  • Immediately after Elavia takes the $50,000 bribe, Anderson returns to the other players and acts as though the execution will still take place despite one player already leaving. He gets a few words into his Rules Spiel before revealing it was a joke. The other players are not amused, but Anderson clearly enjoyed the prank as did a little dance declaring, "I love this game!"
  • In the retrospective finale of The Next Betrayal, a video confessional of Al has him saying how confident he is of his reads on the other players. He then muses, "I could be wrong. Somebody at home right now is going, 'You ain't reading nothing well! You're way off! It's Bill!!'" Needless to say, the assembled players had a big laugh at Al's expense. Even Anderson called it the best line of the season.
  • In Celebrity Mole Hawaii, Stephen Baldwin and Frédérique van der Wal have to guess clues to movies or TV shows where characters die that Corbin Bernsen and Michael Boatman give via charades. Baldwin and Frédérique then have to relay the movie answer to Erik von Detten and Kathy Griffin, who have to dig up the grave with the name of the actor whose character died in the movie or TV show. The fourth clue turns out to be South Park, and as Baldwin asked who died in South Park, cue Erik imitating one of the characters asking “Who killed Kenny?” Clearly Baldwin had never even heard of South Park, while Erik had.
  • Later on in Celebrity Mole Hawaii, Erik and Michael have to do the hula while Frédérique and Kathy have to stand up on a surfboard for a certain amount of time in order to earn money for the pot. Hilarity Ensues as the guys have to hula to “Tiny Bubbles” which tormented Al in ''The Next Betrayal'', Michael is so embarrassed that he jokes that he smells his career is burning, and Kathy can’t surf to save her life!

    The U.K. Series 
  • Apparently during the Helibombing task in the finale of UK 2, the Mole had begged to be allowed to do one task for real. They ended up being the only one to actually hit the target.

    The Belgian Series 
  • One of the season 5 challenges had the group breaking into a museum drunk. While the premise of this challenge was already quite funny, the banter some of the drunk contestants had during the (inevitable) down-time was outright hilarious. One of the best examples was a conversation between Sam and Davy about pants without pockets, which resulted in the following exchange.
    Sam [drunkenly to Davy]: Do you have pants with side pockets?
    Davy: No, why?
    Sam [deadpan]: I don't have any of those either...
    [Davy rolls on the floor of laughing at the banality of this conversation.]
    • It even resulted in Sam being gifted some pants with pockets as a result.
  • The mere fact that the priest contestant in Season 6 had no compunctions about swearing left and right. He even said in the reunion episode that his religion class students now sometimes respond to his admonitions to them not to swear with, "But sir, we learned it from you!"
  • In the last episode of Season 6, the Mole shows that Lloyd, for some reason known only to himself, submitted an image of himself in a Red Riding Hood costume as his application photo.
    • The same episode also showed that while everyone else was sticking their hands into a box full of cockroaches during one challenge, the Mole's box had a teddy bear in it instead which he used to secretly wave at the camera while pretending to be squicked by the "cockroaches".
  • In Season 7, episode 2, Joeri nearly has a heart attack every time a stray block bumps into his meticulously constructed tower. What really sells this scene is Gilles going into Lemony Narrator mode in his voiceover:
    Gilles: It took a few years off his life, but Joeri managed to finish the sixth tower.
    • What made this even funnier was that the mole was actually doing this on purpose, while pretending to be nervous/clumsy. Joeri, who didn't consider her the mole, often responded by quoting characters from Het Eiland, a Flemish tv-show.
      Joeri: [after the mole nudged a block into his tower] Calm, Guido!
    • Later on in the season, there was a challenge where the contestants had to remote control their loved ones in a real-life video game. Their controls included a couple of emotes, including a dance option, which was quite heavily abused by the contestants for giggles, making this challenge a hoot to watch.
      Joeri [to his wife, after they lost the challenge]: It's okay honey, we tried our best... Let's do the happy dance again!
