* [[An Aesop]]: Although it's typically more for Mork than for the viewer, but it has known to be for the viewer sometimes.▼
* [[Alien Among Us]]: Since it is a spin-off, aliens are also presumably canon in ''Happy Days'', they just do not make an appearance. Which is just strange.

* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary|Depending on how you look at it]], some of the reports to Orson can be seen as this, although it's a subversion in that it's not addressed to the viewer directly.
