• Red's American pride, and how he considers any other countries inferior, especially when it comes to war.
  • For example, when he was eating waffles...

Eric: What's so Belgian about them? Red: They crumble at the hands of the Nazis.

• When the gang was trying to sneak the Vista Cruiser out, they get caught.

Kelso: It's Red!! Run!! [bolts, leaving everyone else behind]

• • This is made even better by Red's reaction...

Red: Kelso, get back here.

• WHERE'S MY CANDY, YOU SON OF A BITCH?!
• From the begining of the episode "Hyde Moves In", instead of just crusing the Vista Cruiser all night, the gang decide to go skinny-dipping. However, there are some...unfortunate consequences
  • Also from that episode, there's this:

Fez: Hey, naked is dirty. (singing) Dirty, dirty, dirty! Everyone (singing): Dirty, dirty, dirty! Dirty, dirty, dirty!

• Here's...probably the funniest moment from Season One

(talking about how Jackie "whips" Kelso in the Circle) Hyde (imitating Jackie): "Michael, call me at 8:00!" Eric (also imitating Jackie): "Michael, do your Chico impression!" Fez (also imitating Jackie): "Michael, rub oil on my thighs, while I spank you." (Kelso, Hyde and Eric are visibly disturbed by what Fez just said. Now, back to Fez.) Fez (scared): Please someone else talk now.

• Donna and Eric are sitting on the hood of the Vista, discussing how she's on the Pill, but she doesn't want to do anything sexual yet—but she promises she'll let him know when she's ready. Eric says okay, then two seconds later asks, "How about now?" Donna says no. "Okay. ...How about now?" Another no. "Okay... how about NOW?" Donna just smiles and leaves Eric sitting alone on the car. ...Then after a moment, Red comes from around the corner with a garden hose in his hand and COMPLETELY douses Eric.

Red: ...It's for your own good, son.

• Eric and Hyde are talking about Hyde's relationship with Jackie when Kelso, who has no idea about it, comes in and asks what they were talking about. Eric and Hyde simultaneously answer, "Indy 500". They then look at each other, nod knowingly, and say, "Nice!"
  • Don't forget the scene leading up to that part:

Eric: But, man, she's the devil! Hyde: What can I do? She's hot. Eric: No, you only think she's hot because she's made of hellfire. Hyde: All right, what if you were stranded on a desert island with her? Eric: [pause] Murder-suicide. Hyde: Ok. Picture Jackie in a little bikini made out of coconuts.

• "He said he was going hunting. He had a whistle and a stick."
• Red coaches Eric on how to win a fight. Bob, out of nowhere, chimes in, "Hit him with a banjo."

Red: You can't hit someone with a banjo Bob, that's playing dirty (to Eric) you want to knee him in the groin.

• Donna has given Eric a horrible ring as a gift. Hyde points out how she got her clothing/accessory taste from her dad.

Eric: Hyde, Fez, my girlfriend has bad taste Fez: Well, she is dating you!

• When Red catches the boys smoking pot

Red: I wish I had 2000 feet so I could put 500 of them in each of your asses!!!!

• After Kelso finds out about Jackie and Hyde he prepares to challenge him to a battle of wits. This results

Kelso: So Hyde what's up? Anything INTERSTING going on? Hyde: I guess you found out about me and Jackie? Kelso: Aha so you confess! Hyde: Confess to what? I'm fooling around with Jackie. (Kelso chases after him) Kelso: (off screen) Ow, my eye!

• On the subject of shooting bears out of season:

Kelso: Who's the jury gonna belive, me or a dead bear? Everyone Else: Dead bear.

• In the episode 'Eric's Panties', Donna finds a pair of panties on the Vista Cruiser, and is conviced that Eric is cheating on her with another woman. So, she goes off to the Hub to confront Eric of the matter. Shelly, the girl Donna suspects to be said girl, denies and leaves. Eric then says that he has no idea who the panties belong to. Midge, Donna's mom, comes rushing in afterwards:

Midge: Donna! (runs over to Donna and grabs the panties) Those panties are mine. Kelso: ERIC! (He and Fez bow down to Eric) YOU ARE A GOD! (Screen cuts to Eric, Donna, and Midge looking very annoyed, before turning back to the two) A GOD I SAY!

• • This troper personally thinks that's the funniest moment ever on the show. The first time I saw it, I couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes.
• Mitch Hedberg as the clerk at The Hub.

Frank: Hey, I did not lose a leg in Vietnam so I could serve hot dogs to teenagers. Kelso: You have both your legs, Frank. Frank: Like I said, I did not lose a leg in Vietnam!

• Eric returns home from the Drive-In where he and Donna made out for the first time. He finds Red smoking a cigarette when earlier he and Kitty had sex in the car.

Red: How was the movie? Eric: It was good. Red: How did it end? Eric: I don't remember. Red: 'Atta boy. Eric: Good night dad. Red: Good night son. Oh, and be quiet going up the stairs. Your mother is... very tired.

• • The episode also serves as a Crowning Moment of Awesome for the two of them, and it's pretty Heartwarming to see one of the rare moments where Red is proud of Eric and expresses it.
• Fez is trying to get his green card to stay in America. Donna and Jackie tutor Fez. Unfortunately, Red doesn't like what they are teaching and takes matters into his own hands. Thus begins the most hilarious thing recorded on television. Ever.
• Red in The Circle. Sure it may have been from a Kelso dream sequence, but it is still definitely a crowning foot up the ass of funny.

Red: (holds up a can of whipped cream) I'm tellin' ya, this stuff isn't just for cakes. It's great all by itself. (squeezes the cream into his mouth and laughs) Wait, wait... watch this. (squeezes the cream into a pile on top of his head) Look at me. I'm Whipped Cream Head. Fear me. ALL FEAR WHIPPED CREAM HEAD!

• When the guys are mistakenly jailed for driving someone else's car, Eric is elected to talk them out of jail... but the cops were just about to let them go. Then one cop notices Eric's last name:

Cop #2: Hey, is your father Red Forman? Eric: Yes? Cop #2: You poor bastard!

• The parents get into Hyde's "special brownies", and Hilarity Ensues. Pretty much the entire episode after that point is one long Crowning Moment Of Funny as Red sells the Vista Cruiser and Eric and Hyde have to try to get him to focus so they can find out who he sold it to and get it back.
• Bob aguing with "Fatso".
  • Must be seen to be believed. Just hear the hatred and hammyness in the final line.
• "Hey guys, I finally found my gun... guys?"
• "Dude, you shot him!"
• "I stole my dad's tap! Back... from those thieves..."
• What are you doing in Canada?
  • In fact, that entire scene is ungodly amounts of funny.
• Fez's reaction to Kelso being shirtless after a fight with Jackie in which she snatches the shirt he was wearing since it was a gift from her: "YOU! DON'T POINT AT ME WITH YOUR POINTY NIPPLES!"
• A great episode is Jackie's father's cabin. The whole back and forth with the doll expo, and the missing stash is hilarious, but the crowning moment of it all

Red: Kelso, what the hell is this? Kelso: If you mean paprika, then yes sir! Kitty: Michael, honey, paprika is red. Kelso: If you mean green paprika, then yes sir! Red: Green paprika? What on Earth-? Kelso: (whispering to Hyde) Hyde, what am I thinking of? Hyde: Oregano. Kelso: If you mean oregano, then yes sir!

• A classic, during breakfast time.

Eric: Leggo my Eggo. Red: Leggo my foot up your ass!

• "You are about to read a book that my foot wrote! It's called On the Road to In Your Ass."
• Chocolate Super Lax! It's even funnier in context.
  • In The Stinger, Kelso comes back, compliments Eric and Donna on their glorious burn, but warns them he won't fall for something like that again...while he picks up another brownie and starts eating it.

Donna: ...I love our friends.

• Whatever ever you do, don't give Fez the amaretto. No matter how much it tastes like liquid candy...

Fez: I am a winter nymph! I love the snow! HOORAY AMERICA!!!

• In one episode the Foremans are throwing a barbeque and Eric comes up with a series of plans to embarass Donna's then boyfriend Casey Kelso, which leads to Hyde comparing him to Daffy Duck.

Hyde: How about, you set up a complex system of ropes & pulleys, and then, when Casey walks by, you drop an anvil on his head. Fez: Because that is what Daffy would... Eric: Yeah, I got that Fez.

• • Hyde: "Wow, that worked out thuper!"
• Kelso and the door.
• Can't remember the episode, but there is one where Kelso attempts to leap over the couch, trips over the table, and somehow lands on two feet. The look on Asthon Kutcher's face clearly says "that was not supposed to happen."
  • It wasn't. In fact, you can see Lisa Robin Kelly (Laurie Forman) start laughing before she realized he was going to keep going with the scene. The director liked it and decided to keep that take.
  • What makes it even funnier is the reaction of the audience
• Bob getting into an argument with Fatso the Clown
• Young Red crying over his first breakup.
• While trying to steal a street sign to give to Hyde for his 18th Birthday the gang sends Kelso to steal a hacksaw from Red.

Red: Kelso! What are you doing? Kelso: I need a saw so I can... chop down a tree. Because there's a rabbit stuck in it. And I need to get it down so it can lay its eggs. Red: Kelso! Rabbits don't lay... How did a rabbit get up a tree? Kelso: Eric threw it up there Red: Eric... threw a rabbit... up a tree?!

• • Also from the same episode Kelso tries to bring the sign down with a fire cracker. When the fire cracker to turn out to be a dud so he puts it in his jacket pocket. It then later explodes in his pocket.
  • Or when he ties a rope to the signpost and then to his van's bumper to pull it down. Instead, the bumper comes off.
• "Oh, don't tell me crap shoes is coming with us." "IT WAS ON FIRE!"
• When Eric comes home from "Hyde's Christmas Rager" all drunk and hung over:

Eric: My head hurts. Red: That's your brain trying to comprehend its own stupidity.

• The boys are hanging out under the stars, hoping to spot a UFO. Leo walks up and joins them.

Hyde: Leo, what are you doing here? Leo: Wow, that's a really good question.

• "You just hung vacancy signs on your asses, and my foot is looking for a place to stay!"
• After being gone for several seasons (Tommy Chong was arrested) Leo shows up out of the freaking blue when Eric is stranded just outside the city limits.
• This entire Last-Second Word Swap-based scene.
• The Superhero Fantasy
• After Eric reads Donna's journal he thinks she wants him to be more of a badass so he gets a tattoo. When he goes to show Donna, he imagines himself as Steven Tyler, kicking Donna's bedroom door and wowing her. In reality he tries to kick the door down and bounces off.
  • The scene where Eric's getting his tattoo counts as well. He let's Leo do it, resulting in this bit of dialogue:

Leo: Debbie's gonna love this man Eric: Yeah...Wait, who's Debbie? Leo: Your girlfriend! Eric: It's Donna! Leo: Oh...I can fix it! Fez: You should get a tattoo of boobs. Leo: I can make the B's into boobs Eric: What B's? Leo: In Debbie, your girlfriend! Eric: It Donna! Leo: Oh right....I can fix it!

• The Foremans playing poker with Pastor Dave. When it comes time for Laurie to show her hand, she lays down 3 of a kind... 3 sixes, to be precise. Pastor Dave's reaction is priceless.
• God, what did you have for breakfast this morning, Carnation Instant Bitch ?
• Red and Kitty have to cut short their evening out, and kitty goes to phone Eric to let him know:

Red: Kitty, don't call to let him know we're coming home early! If he's doing something he shouldn't - and we both know he is - it's important that I catch him at it. Kitty: Why? Red: Because it gives me pleasure.

• Red reminisces the first time he went through a break-up.
• The episode where Fez supposedly throws Kitty's engagement ring out the car window. Especially in the forest.

Hyde: Whoa, did you guys hear that? It's the wild call of the brown-haired pygmy bitch!
