Line 60:
** An earlier example occurs in "Hilloween" where Bobby briefly fears his father working with the devil due to the Strawman evangelical antagonist of the episode. Cue the demonic rendition of a flashback where Hank transforms into a laughing Satan staring into the viewer's soul.
** "The Texas Skillsaw Massacre": Dale puts his finger in front of a moving blade and it is severed. You can see Dale's severed finger on the table with blood gushing out.
** Anyone who has ever been bitten by a fire ant knows how painful it is; Dale is attacked by a ''swarm'' of them in "King of the Ant Hill", luring them onto him in order to save Bobby from the same fate. Seeing as Dale is a professional exterminator and ''knows'' how dangerous they are, this is very much a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Dale, despite how terrifying it is.
* [[Out of Focus]]: Connie post-breakup with Bobby.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Pretty much the entire "Wings of a Dope" episode, in which Buckley's angel comes back, particularly the scene in which he and Luanne bounce on the trampoline after first meeting. Fireflies appear around them and fittingly enough, Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town" plays in the background.
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
** The relationship of Bill to the other three main leads. In the headscratcher section its stated they're not really joyed by being his friends and are his friends for the sole purpose of him being a man among men in high school. [[Fridge Brilliance|This might explain how much annoyed they become when he's drunk with power.]] This becomes [[Fridge Horror|sad if you consider that his relationship to Leonore became so toxic it shattered his mind and made any significant rise to power give him an inflated ego.]]
** A big bit in the second part of the "Returning Japanese" two-parter. When Cotton's old flame regales the story of {{spoiler|Cotton's son}}. In her tone of voice, it sounds like she [[Stepford Smiler|holds him accountable for her life that is now]]. In the end though she forgives him with exact tone of voice.
** Though Cotton's death isn't a terrible tragedy, he was legitimately friends with his grandson Bobby.
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Everyone in the cast.
* [[The Scrappy]]: A lot of people seem to really dislike Peggy, especially in the later seasons after her personality changed, when she became an overbearing, obnoxious, and just plain smug know-it-all.
