* In "Being Frank" it's revealed that Frank has an unknown terminal illness, but it isn't treated because Frank runs out of the hospital in a hurry. In "The Gang Goes to a Water Park" Frank pretends to have [=AIDs=] in order to get onto all the rides. This culminates in him bleeding in the pool, causing everyone to think he has [=AIDs=]. After this happens, Dee, Mac, and several kids fall into the water. Now, we know they don't have [=AIDs=], but what if they now have that terminal illness Frank was diagnosed with? We don't know if it's bloodborne or not.

* It's increasingly demonstrated that Mac is ArmouredClosetGay, so in the season eight episode "Frank's Back in Business," you might wonder why he immediately checks out when he and Dennis mistake a caddie for a male prostitute. However, Mac is always obsessed with huge, muscular bodybuilders. Because the caddie is a young, slender boy, he's not Mac's type.



* In "Sweet Dee Gets Audited" there is a debate between the characters about what to do with the corpse of a dog that is rotting in the alley behind the bar. Mac and Charley want to perform a 'dog funeral', while Frank and Dennis want to throw the corpse in the dumpster. Mac probably supported the dog funeral because other episodes have shown that he still owns an old dog that he is emotionally attached to, so it makes sense that he wants to bury the dog with dignity. In addition; Mac is a hardcore Catholic, so it makes sense that he would place so much value on a proper burial. Alternatively; Frank has expressed the opinion that a dead body is essentially trash, to the extent that he does not care what happens to his own corpse when he dies. Dennis, in addition to being a sociopath, has expressed the opinion that eating a dog is no more morally wrong than eating a chicken.

Later, Mac explains that the real Brian [=LeFeve=] was stabbed to death outside of Paddy's by a crackhead. Who's a crackhead that hangs around Paddy's Pub? [[SerialKiller Dennis.]]
** He even "gets off" at seeing Brian's severed finger in a plastic bag.
** Later, upon being compared to a serial killer, Dennis remarks that ''[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne serial]]'' killer is an exaggeration.

* From what we know about their childhood; Dennis and Dee clearly needed psychiatric help from an early age. Aside from carelessness and apathy; it is possible that Frank did not get them help because he didn't want them to get shanghaied to a nitwit school they same way that he did when he was young.

* During the entire series, Charlie is only seen behind the wheel of a car once, and during that instance (in "The Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre") Mac comments that it's been a long time since Charlie has driven a car. Not much else is made of it, but Charlie lacking a valid driver's license would make perfect sense-- it'd be pretty hard for someone who's nigh-illiterate to study for a driving test, and it would also impair his ability to read road signs and street names.

* In "Who Got Dee Pregnant?", Mac invents the phrase "browning out", using it to describe a drunken stupor that's not quite a blackout. He gets upset that Dennis starts to use it, but Charlie argues that since Mac put it out there, the phrase is "public domain." One might not expect someone as uneducated as Charlie to know what public domain is, but Charlie is a great musician, which might be where he knows the concept of public domain from.
* During the episode "Mac and Charlie Write a Movie", Frank loves Dennis' idea of filming an action movie that features full, uncensored scenes of graphic sex. This foreshadows the conflict that he has with the Gang regarding the ''[[Film/LethalWeapon Lethal Weapon 6]]'' film they made together, in which he wanted to include a scene of himself having sex with a beautiful woman.
