Line 51:
* [[Girl Scouts Are Evil]]: A recurring sketch with Carol playing a girl scout who blackmails people into buying lots of cookies. One of those people being played by ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaZoJLkWcBw Vincent Price]''.
* [[Inept Talent Show Contestant]]: As mentioned, Eunice has a spot on ''[[The Gong Show]]'' and is so convinced that her singing talent will be her ticket away from her family that she does a lot of bridge-burning before the show. ''Bad'' idea.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: The first five seasons of the series (1967-1972) are co-owned with Bob Banner, preventing them from subsequent syndication and home video releases. With Banner's death in 2011, the outcome of this looks uncertain.
** The bulk of the musical numbers have not been seen since the original network airings due to licensing issues. Eventually, a DVD collector's edition of the show which includes the musical numbers was released by mail order offering only 2 episodes per $19.95 disc, the extra money going for the licensing.
* [[Memetic Hand Gesture]]: Carol's ear tug.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: A non-malicious example: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbDHE4kQ1Xs One "Family" sketch] has the character of Mavis Danton (played by guest star [[Blazing Saddles|Madeline Kahn]]) constantly refer to Eunice as "Bernice".
