Line 12:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In the episode with [[Haley Joel Osmont]], when Walker talks to him about spirits, Haley replies "You mean like ghosts and stuff?" This episode aired two years before [[The Sixth Sense|Haley saw dead people.]]
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Starting around Season 6. The ''Brainchild'' episode in particular seemed like it had been written for some '80s Disney flick.
** If one looked at the earlier seasons of Walker it resembles close to a gritty cop show than the later seasons which are more tonnedtoned down and cartoony in comparison.
*** TheHowever, the later seasons also have their share of dark moments. For example Halloween episode "The Children of Halloween" dealt with satanic cult kidnapping young children and planning to kill them. "Lucas" two-parter is also rather dark, dealing with young boy with AIDS and it ends with {{spoiler|him and his mother dying.}}
* [[Memetic Badass]]: see [[Chuck Norris Facts]].
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Many clips popularized by Conan, but most of all... "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo1kNGGEle0&feature=related Walker told me I have AIDS.]"
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Lyle Eckert has been stealing jewels for years, but he crosses the line when he decides to bury a girl alive.
** McNeely murdering his own minions to ensure his disappearance.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Episode 173 - The Bachelor Party. [[Everything Is Worse With Bears]]
** Victor LaRue is one of the most psychotic adversaries Walker has ever faced, and definitely one of his most personal foes. Every one of his three appearances have him trying to rape Alex. And aside from that, he's also responsible for a variety of murders on the show.
** Ted McNeely, though a one-shot villain, managed to rival Victor LaRue in heinousness. After he finds out that his employer plans to dismiss him, he decides to kidnap his daughter and extort an exorbitant amount of money from him. And regardless of whether he pays the money, he decides he's going to kill her and make his employer watch the entire thing on the internet.
* [[Tear Jerker]]:
** {{spoiler|C. D. Parker's death}}
