  • In TiP, if you have a Limeoceros in your garden you can sic him on Professor Pester. The Limeoceros charges at Pester and sends him blasting off like Team Rocket. It's hilarious as it is cathartic.

The TV Show

  • "Beauty and the Beasts"
    Langston: Hi Francine, your son can't talk, because he's wearing earrings and a girdle in a beauty contest.
  • "Pig-Out Mountain"
    • Fergy and Paulie travelling down the icy slides.
  • "Invasion of the Boogie Snatchers".
    • The opening scene of Paulie attempting to turn on his jukebox only to be interrupted by Spalding's constant obnoxious singing.
  • Most of Professor Pester's lines in the show make him come off as a pathetic but funny villain.
  • "FEEL THE WRATH OF MY GIANT HOE, GARDEN WRECKER!"
  • "Trojan Horstachio": Professor Pester plots to capture Hudson by disguising himself and his fellow Ruffians as a female Horstachio. Hudson falls for the obvious disguise, even when Professor Pester uses his usual catchphrase which Hudson interprets as the Horstachio giving her name of Victory.
  • "Mission Impiñable": Hudson gets kidnapped by Professor Pester and spends the entire episode thinking that he is in a VIP room of a dance club. He eventually manages to rescue himself by accident and finds out that they wrote about it in the news.
    Hudson: Can you believe this, guys?! "Rescued from Professor Pester's clutches". Ugh, the scandal, she will say anything to sell a few papers. Hot picture of me, though. I mean, what about those eyes, don't you love 'em? Excuse me guys, I am off to buy a few dozen papers. Oh, news boy!
  • "To Catch A Pester": Piñatas installing an Air-Vent Passageway onto Pester's prison in order to break him out only to find out that they can't get out because Fergy ordered a corn dog instead of a ladder and they can't buy anything using Langston's company card anymore because Franklin used snail mail (as in, the check was getting delivered by a Shellybean, who are notoriously slow) to send them a check. It doesn't help that it took them an entire night to even get through the vent because they decided to make it unnecessarily long.
  • "Hudson's Holiday":
    • Hudson gets stress twitches while in the middle of recording a commercial. During a montage of him messing up multiple takes due to the said twitches, it randomly cuts to him shouting "Hey! You giddy up!" to someone off screen.
    • The part where Simone gives Hudson a travel ticket. Because of the framing and the dialogue, it at first looks like Simone was going to shoot him.
    Hudson: What are you doing?!
    Simone: Putting you out of your misery and mine!
    Hudson: You mean...?
    Simone: You've left me no choice!
    Hudson: NOOOOOO!
    Hudson: Phew, it's only a travel ticket... A TRAVEL TICKET?!? No, not a vacation!
    • Hudson's Sanity Slippage while he's on a deserted island, which starts with him being unable to actually relax and either dancing or acting like a commercial narrator. He eventually ties himself to a tree and starts beating himself with a stick while asking "the kids" if they are having fun.
  • Nearly the entirety of the hilarious Space Episode "The Wrong Stuff".
    Langston: Arm the futon torpedoes [a Pun on photon torpedoes].
    Paulie: Futons are armed!
    Langston: Fire futons!
    • And later in the episode, when they need to power the ship with magnetism:
    Hudson: Of course, my magnetic personality! It just might power the ship!
    • Hudson proceeds to just say cheesy pick up lines to power the ship. And it (temporarily) works!
    • Later, they get sucked into an alternate universe where they figure that they need to use "anti-charm" to get back. Cue this.
    Hudson: But who among us has the most... unattractive personality?
    Everyone stares at Fergy, even the Ruffians.
    Fergy: WHAT?!
    Pester: Honey, you're so fine, even your bath water is pretty!
    Pester: Don't forget to trip your waitresses.
