* [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper]]: Many people only know the series because of Daisy's short shorts. Tiny short shorts are still occasionally referred to as Daisy Dukes to this day.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The narrator (and performer of [[Expository Theme Tune]]) is legendary country singer [[Waylon Jennings]].
* [[Tear Jerker]]: In the 1997 tv-movie, we're shown now-county commissioner "Boss" Rosco's office, which has a large portrait of Boss Hogg behind his chair. Rosco at one point goes up to the portrait and laments that "I sure miss you, [[Embarrassing Nickname|little fat buddy]]", while almost breaking down crying. Best and Booke were close friends, and his show of emotion is genuine.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]:
** No one seems to notice or care that the "General Lee" has a Confederate Battle Flag on the roof. Or the idea that naming the car the "General Lee" means anything [[My Country, Right or Wrong|other than honoring a skillful soldier]]. Slavery? What does the [[The American Civil War|War Of Northern Aggression]] have to do with that?
*** [[Truth in Television]]: Many Southerners are blissfully nostalgic about the Civil War and Deep South pageantry while being supportive of African American rights. Whether you find this to be understandable, mystifying, or monumentally hypocritical is up to you.
*** The Rebel Flag is also a widely adopted symbol of rednecks throughout the USA, regardless or race. As with many symbols througout history, the meaning is different to them than it is to non-rednecks. It's more of a symbol of rebellion against [[The Man]] or "the system". They've turned it into something that can be a unifying symbol, instead of a negative symbol of segregation and racism.
