* LadyVessel: Bill names his fishing boat after Jojo. The day after Jojo's parents chase Bill out of their house (see ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime below), Bill hangs a sign up renaming the boat "Nympho", which Jojo, understandably, gets angry at him about (even though he claims [[JustJokingJustification it was only a joke]]). The very next day, the sign gets taken down, and Bill's boat is called "Jojo" again.

* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: The lyrics to the song playing when Daisy and Charlie play pool together are definitely in CaptainObvious territory (even the song's title, "Is It Hot In Here?").
