Line 36:
* [[Ho Yay]]: Occasionally between Dusty and Lefty, the cowboys. They tend to say "my partner", which makes people think of the [[Have a Gay Old Time|the newer version of "partner".]]
* [[Ice Cream Koan]] (The following joke is a [[Running Gag]], because it has no real meaning:)
{{quote| ''Two penguins are sitting on an iceberg, when one penguin turns to the other and says, "You look like you're wearing a tuxedo." [http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid{{=}}2555726 The first penguin says, "What makes you think I'm not?"]''}}
* [[If I Had a Nickel]]: In a Guy Noir sketch set in New York:
{{quote| '''Sue Scott's character''': If I had a nickel for every time I have seen people talking on the phone while they drove today, I could buy the Taj Mahal. Or a studio apartment in Brooklyn.}}
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: It's one of the few public radio shows not archived in its' entirety online, due to music licensing issues. Comedy segments are available, however, and there are cassette and CD sets floating about.
* [[Key Under the Doormat]]. Howie Humde, inventor of the Cow-Pie Key Hider, is a sponsor of the show.
Line 50:
* [[Quirky Town]] (Lake Wobegon, natch)
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: "Tishomingo Blues", but with lyrics rewritten for the show:
{{quote|''Oh, hear that old piano, from down the avenue.<br />
''I smell the [[Couch Gag|&lt;insert city-related objects&gt;]], I look around for you<br />
''My sweet, sweet old someone, comin' through that door<br />
Line 69:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Guy Noir most definitely ''and'' a lot of his clients; Garrison to a lesser extent.
* [[Dead Air]]: After one of the singers passes away backstage during the show, they briefly consider having a moment of silence for him on the show.
{{quote| '''Garrison Keillor:''' ''Silence on the radio? [[Lampshade Hanging|I don't know how that works.]] ''}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]:
{{quote| '''Lola Johnson:''' ''This isn't really going to be your last show, is it? ''<br />
'''Garrison Keillor:''' ''Every show is your last show. That's my philosophy. ''<br />
'''Rhonda Johnson:''' ''[[Sarcasm Mode|Thank you, Plato.]]'' }}
* [[Folk Music]]
