Funny / Adventures of the Gummi Bears

This is just a glimpse of what Igthorn goes through.

• From the very first episode:
  "Is it true that humans eat Gummi bears?!"
  • That entire scene is hilarious. The bears are gathered around an unconscious Cavin, arguing whether they should help him or leave him be, like a bunch of kids who have found an injured squirrel in their yard. When they see he has a Gummi medallion, they start passing it back and forth while it's still tied around his neck, not even noticing when the kid wakes up, since he just lies there, staring at the weird creatures surrounding him, until he bolts up, beaming with joy over finding the legendary Gummi bears. They all promptly run for their lives in terror.
  • When Cavin uses his Gummiberry Juice-powered strength to throw one ogre onto Igthorn, the Duke just looks mildly irritated and resigned to what happened.
    Duke Igthorn: ...Let's start from the beginning. How did you fall from the clear blue sky?
    • Toadwart eagerly celebrates the fact that he didn't get squashed, only to get squashed by another ogre that Cavin tossed.
• The page image comes from "The Oracle," wherein Tummi Gummi uses the Oracle to mess around with Igthorn and his henchogres. Among other things, he makes Igthorn hop around and cover his head. You can't really blame Igthorn for calling this experience "humiliating."
  • Earlier, Tummi has this exchange with Igthorn:
    Igthorn: Oh, great one. Take my meager food offering and tell me the secret of this potion [the Gummiberry juice].
    Tummi: Sorry, but this is leap year. You have to be leaping when you ask a favor!
    Igthorn: (taken aback) WHAT?!
• In "Gummi in a Gilded Cage", the maiden voyage of the Gummis' flying machine hits a snag when Gruffi's foot gets caught in a mooring line, dragging him along for the ride. At the end, the escape from the Carpies' lair has him in the same position, and Tummi remarks, "He must really like it back there."
• Cubbi and Sunni imitating the adults after they figure out how the Changing Hat works in "A Gummi By Any Other Name." This is later topped by Igthorn's Double Take after Zummi casts the spell that makes his voice sound like a chipmunk on helium.
• From "A-Hunting We Will Go":
  Calla: ...Then after they left, a traveler said there was a gigantic boar out in the woods.
  Grammi: Oh, don't be silly, dear. Gruffi is underground in the quick tunnels.
• In "Tummi's Last Stand," in order to better motivate his ogres to catch gummi bears, Igthorn offers several prizes to who catches the most, all in the manner of a game show, with Toadwart in drag!
  • Towards the end, Tummi leads the ogres into an ancient Gummi training facility, where Igthorn and Toadwart meet their defeat by getting pushed down a slide by some tar, covered in feathers, and shot up into the air so they land in the water and go down the Inevitable Waterfall. Topped by Toadie speculating that people will pay to go on rides similar to what they went through, only for Igthorn to hit him on the head with a fish.
• When Duke Igthorn meets his brother, Sir Victor, in the woods, they have your typical brotherly argument.
  Duke Igthorn: After all these years, have you no greeting for me, dear brother?
  Sir Victor: Not that I care to repeat in mixed company.
  Duke Igthorn: Oh, cut the Mr. Pure Pose, Vic, you're an Igthorn.
  Sir Victor: Yes, and so I must forever make amends for my family's treachery.
  Duke Igthorn: Same as when you were a kid. Always going around protecting the oppressed and saving the downtrodden. What kind of hobby is that for a 6-year-old?
  Sir Victor: Unhand me, despicable despot!
  Duke Igthorn: Do-gooder!
  Sir Victor: Malcontent!
  Duke Igthorn: Momma's boy!
  Sir Victor: Better a momma's boy than Siggy Soggy Shorts.
  Duke Igthorn: (embarrassed) Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh!
  Toadwart: (snickers) Siggy Soggy...
  Duke Igthorn: (grabs Toadwart) Don't... ever... call me that.
  • Despite their differences, the two Igthorns do still strongly resemble each other, and not just by appearance.
  Duke Igthorn: But enough reminiscing. In honor of your visit, I've decided to tell the whole world that... We are brothers!
  Sir Victor: No! You wouldn't!
  Toadwart : Yes, he would.
  Duke Igthorn & Sir Victor: WILL YOU BUTT OUT?!
  Toadwart : Yep, they're brothers.
• To lure a mermaid into a trap in "Water Way To Go," Igthorn tosses Toadie into the river.
  Igthorn: Pretend you're drowning!
  Toadie: Pretend?!
• In "Return to Ursalia" the Glen Gummis and Barbics have teamed up to fight Igthorn and his ogres. The problem is, the Barbics have never used Gummiberry Juice. Gritty's bouncing is so out of control that he only manages to hit ogres by chance.
  Sir Thornberry: Pretty nifty move!
  Gritty: There's only one problem- HOW DO I STOOOOP!?
• "Thornberry to the Rescue" starts with a Shout-Out to Goldilocks and the Three Bears;
  Gruffi: Somebody's been sitting in my chair!
  Grammi: Somebody's been eating my porridge!
  Cubbi: Somebody's been sleeping in my bed!
  Cavin: (Counts his fingers for a moment) That sounds familiar.
• In "Tummi Trouble," Duke Igthorn, who has learned that Lady Bane has fallen in love with Toadwart through a Love Potion, asks the person who sold it for an antidote. What he gets is a recipe that calls for powdered thistle thorns... heated by the breath of a dragon. Cut to Igthorn getting burned in the rump by said dragon.
  Igthorn: Why is it every time I fall in love I get burned?!
• From the series finale, when Igthorn tries to unlock the Great Book with a hammer and chisel:
  Zummi: Wait! I wouldn't do that if I were you...
  Igthorn: Why not? (hits the chisel, and the books zaps him hard enough to blast him, screaming in pain, across the room)
  Zummi: That's why not.
