* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Being offscreen most of the time, it's pretty easy for Brainy to do this. Lampshaded in several episodes where he shows up behind Helga in the most ''improbable''. places, such as on Elk Island, the {{spoiler|Supposedly}} haunted train, and even in an Alley that Helga ''made sure'' was empty. |

** Basically any episode that accentuates his [[Jerkass]] qualities ends with him getting a solid block of hilarious karma dropped on his head. "Roughin' It" is another good example, where he ends up alone in his RV stuck with sunburn, swamped with bugs, and itching from poison ivy (not to mention having been electrocuted by his own faulty products earlier) while everyone else enjoys camping the old fashioned way. |

* [[Kick the Dog]]: His "orphan boy" line (referring to Arnold) in "Parent's Day". It's so mean it would be a Moral Event Horizon if he'd said it directly to Arnold (as it stands, he was talking to Helga and was just characteristically loud and uncaring about anyone else overhearing.) |
