X-Men: Evolution/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Combined with Getting Crap Past the Radar in "Walk On The Wild Side", giving us the following in Lance's jeep (which was "borrowed" by Boom-Boom):

Rogue: Wish we coulda found a better place to change.
Tabitha: Relax; nobody'll believe that toll-booth guy!

    • More Getting Crap Past the Radar in "Walk On The Wild Side", if you listen closely when Magma walks into her first class a background character can be heard saying: "You and Anne, huh? Nice!"
    • Even more Getting Crap Past the Radar in "Walk On The Wild Side": first Tabitha breaks the bathroom door to borrow mouth wash and walks in on Todd's monthly shower. Later she breaks the newly-fixed door and, again, walks in on Todd. We don't see what he's doing, but she tells that he doesn't have to get up. He then tells her he's buying her her own mouth wash.
  • Professor X actually makes a "cripple joke" at his own expense in one episode after lecturing Jean on how all obstacles can be overcome.

Professor X: [finding himself at the top of a flight of stairs] Though, some obstacles are more irritating than others.

  • The end of "X-treme Measures". Professor Xavier is sitting in the back of his car, and tells Logan he's ready to head back to the mansion. Problem is, Logan gave the keys to Kitty, the girl with a permit and the habit of phasing through traffic hazards...
    • As Kitty drives off, you can see the professor pressed up against the window in abject terror. This is the guy who faced down Apocalypse without flinching.
    • What makes it better is that Logan volunteered to take Kitty practice driving because Scott and Jean spent the whole episode dodging her (for good reason) to get out of it and Xavier jumped at the chance of Logan's offer for a dangerous mission. This is his form of payback.
  • Toad dressed up as Quicksilver. That is all.

Toad: Look at me! I'm Pietro! I'm Pietro! Oh, wait, hold on! I gotta go to the moon! (Strikes a pose) Ok, I'm back!

  • At the end of the third episode, Shadowcat calls Nightcrawler a "fuzzy elf." Cut to Cyclops mouthing to Nightcrawler in disbelief: "Fuzzy elf?"
  • Kurt steering the Blackbird with his feet, especially everyone's reaction to it
  • From Grim Reminder Logan had gone off the rails because of his past and Kitty sneaks aboard the X Jet. Kurt is also there, and when Logan finds them he flies into a rage before locking them outside the cockpit to protect them from himself. When Kurt freaks over the crazy man flying the plane Kitty suggests teleporting out, which leads to this.

Kurt: Ja right! Picture this: Bumpity-bumpity-bumpity-SPLAT! Too high up and way to fast.

    • And just before that,

Kurt: He locked us out!
Kitty: No, he shut himself in. So we'd be safe.
Kurt: There's a crazy person flying the plane! You call that safe?

  • In an episode, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat get sick at the same time. His case is worse than hers because, every time he sneezes, he teleports. And so, with Kitty holding on to him, he starts sneezing in his sleep and bamfing them just about everywhere (even into a classroom during classtime - with both still in their PJs!). When Kurt wakes up, feeling healed from his condition, all he sees is Kitty covered in mud and branches... and glaring angrily at him.
  • The whole of Kurt & Toad's fight in the first episode. The witty repartee was to die for.

Kurt: As you say in America, "neener, neener, neener!"

Toad: I'm gonna rip that pointy tail off, ya fuzzy gecko!

Kurt: I swear, that homie's lingo is so whack.

    • Made even more hilarious because this Forge looks exactly like Fez from That '70s Show.
  • Kurt messing with his image inducer in "Adrift." He tried to look buff to impress Kitty and it fritzed on him. His next attempt ended up with the hologram giving him the Most Common Superpower. Even Xavier found it hilarious, as it was Xavier's own doing. Kurt broke the inducer after messing with it too much, then Xavier fixed it and re-programmed it to make Kurt look like a girl as a little joke. Stupid sexy girl-Nightcrawler.
  • Kurt and Kitty imitate Scott and Jean, daytime-TV style:

Kurt: Jean, darling, please accept this croissant as a symbol of my love!
Kitty: Oh, Scott, you have such a way with pastry!

    • The scene is referenced in a later episode. Kitty says "You have such a way with pastry!" while talking on the phone, probably relating the hilarious story to the person on the other end. It's a little easy to miss, but the reference is funny.
  • Pretty much everything the Brotherhood does is golden, but an especially funny moment happened in "No Good Deed." Their plan was to set up a train derailment without anyone knowing and then stop it, so they could come off as the heroes. However, they failed to take into account one teeny little detail.

Toad: Never fear, people, the Brotherhood has arrived. We'll stop that runaway train.
Bystander: Yeah, but what about the other train?
Pietro: Uh... What other train?
Bystander: Radio says one's coming the other way carrying eight tankers of gasoline.

    • And later, when they contemplate whether they should try to stop the oncoming train.

Peitro: *speeds away* See you outside the blast zone!

  • Possibly the most triumphant crowning moment of funny for this show: A farmer is watching a news report on mutants on TV. His reaction?

Farmer: What's a mutant?

    • This almost qualifies as a Mythology Gag. When creating the comic Stan Lee originally wanted to call it "The Mutants" but his boss told him "No one know what a mutant is!"
  • In one episode, while Gambit was supposed to be finding the Big Bad and was locking up one of the guards, he paused to finish the guard's game of Solitaire.
    • Gambit also charging a pane of glass to blow... by drawing a smiley face on it.
  • Lance has joined the X-Men. Kitty is sneaking a midnight snack, and phases under the table when she hears someone coming. The New Mutants go by. Seconds later, Lance sneaks after them... and sees Kitty's disembodied head on the table, on a plate, with an apple in her mouth. Lance faints.
  • Another New Recruits/mutants one, When Iceman, Cannonball, Beserker, & Jubilee sneak into the Danger room for kicks they refuse to let Multiple Tag along. After Jubilee gets tired of getting her Ass kicked by the machines & tries to leave, the door shuts up & locks them in. Cue several more robots entering the room - all controlled by Multiple Man (Jamie Madrox). They don't take it well.

Jamie: So, still think it was cake?
Bobby: You did this?
Ray: Get him!
Jamie: (Face drops) Uh oh! (Runs off screaming, the others try to run but are in too much pain)
Jubilee: We'll get 'im tomorrow.

  • While fleeing military choppers, Kurt and Kitty teleport into one of them.

Kurt: Hi, I'm Nightcrawler! This is Shadowcat!
Kitty: (Phases into the chopper's controls) And this is your weapons system!
Both: Bye! (Teleport out)

  • During the montage in "On an Angel's Wings" of Scott and Rogue searching for the angel one of the shots is of a guy with a "ANGELS ARE AMONG US" sign chasing them down the street.
  • In "Mindbender" Wolverine refuses to fight a mind-controlled Kitty. She kicks him in the shins.
  • In "The Hex Factor" Kitty's muffins bounce. Or, depending on the batch, break floors.

Mystique: Boys? Guess who's back?
Toad: Hey! Is it really you?
Mystique: *hauls him up by his T-shirt and throws him into the next room*
Toad: (offscreen) Yep, it's you.

    • Boom-Boom calling Mystique Mystic and lighting up a mini-explosive, which Pietro grabs of her and chucks at Blob, who gives it to Toad and chucks him into the next room. It explodes and Toad ... shrieks. Like a girl. a few seconds later he walks back in with his hair sticking straight up on his head.
    • All four of the Brotherhood boys staring out from behind the couch with O.O expressions.
    • Boom-Boom blowing up Mystique's room.
    • Quicksilver pretending to be a shop assistant whilst fighting Kurt.
  • From "Day Of Reckoning: Part Two" Rogue being so distracted by Gambit's sexy that she fails to realize he's given her a card that's about to blow.
  • While the majority of "The Toad, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" counts, Kurt meeting Amanda's parents and Toad interrupting to steal Kurt's image inducer is a great highlight.

Amanda: Kurt! You're early!
Kurt: (Face goes from excitement to looking dejected) Okay, I'll leave...
