Line 7:
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Gary Coleman's cameo in the "Apocalypse" episode probably wouldn't have qualified, except that he was explaining how he'd destroy the world in December 2012, a month everyone expected him to see.
** One of the jokes in the [[Animal Wrongs Group|PETA]] episode is about the logistical problems of 'freeing' all the domestic animals in the world and the point that if they have rights they have social responsibilities. Since the episode aired it came to light that PETA actually has a plan to deal with this: ''utter extermination'' of domesticated animals.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In the 2005 episode on government surveillance, they're impressed by the competence of a Kenyan immigrant compared to the other agents they study. "Yep! You gotta go to Kenya for a real American who can follow fucking directions!"<ref>No, Obama is not Kenyan. It's still funny.</ref>"
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: (You need...to) [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|SHUT.]] [[No Indoor Voice|THE FUCK.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PaHcZUHI00 UP!]
* [[Nausea Fuel]]: The "mucus mask" bit, with the snails that wind up clustered around people's eyes.
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: Seems to have set in after season 5, as they've run out of (or simply avoided) substantive targets, and the series has been reduced to thinly-veiled [[Author Appeal|libertarian soapboxing]] and [[Take That]] [[Author Tract|Author Tracts]] against anyone who think otherwise. [[Your Mileage May Vary]].
Line 14:
** In the astrology episode they lampshaded this as simply having run out of big easy targets (except for astrology). They flat-out admitted that the show was preaching to the converted back in the Ghosts episode in the third season.
