Responding to the first post...

1. He admitted the payoff was rather funny for the Blake joke, it was just cut off by the transition.

2. The "squeeling" was only done once, and also keep in mind there's actually good reason to be excited about Chibi Neo. She's been the first character in a while that wasn't DIRECTLY SHOWN beforehand when it would've been a lot better to keep them hidden until the episode aired. It was a very pleasant surprise.

3. As for Neo holding explosives, that was on Roman's orders. The only reason it was paused was because Ruby called out for Zwei. Otherwise she'd have immediately loaded the "Death Ray."

4. And lastly, the punchline there, I'd argue, was much less obvious imo. His stick is a gun, yes, but there wasn't really any reason to think Zwei would go off and actually assume Torchwick's cane was a stick from my view of things. Whereas with Blake's, the still frame of Blake made it rather obvious quickly.
