* FlatWhat: After describing the "Looney Pool" [[note]]A contest to have the public guess who is or isn't a mentally-ill person among a group of people, thus underscoring the message that 'loonies' are like everyone else.[[/note]] scoring system, [[https://youtu.be/x8u8pejFGh4?t=7m which is a long, complex bunch of gobbeldygook that's nigh-impossible to follow]], Hector (the nerdy-looking half of ThoseTwoGuys, below) says the trope verbatim to which Campbell answers, "Uh...It's simply a 'Spot The Loony'".

* Francine is doing deejay duties as Campbell makes a loud DynamicEntry into the studio (excited about his audition for the big national radio station). Francine assumes Campbell pulled another [[https://youtu.be/HxyOTd_0UwE?t=4m58s unspecified, mess-making prank]] (Campbell is implied to be a prankster who gets into all sorts of hijinks at St. Judes, though we never really see this ourselves).

Added DiffLines:

* {{Blackmail}}: In the radiothon near the conclusion of the miniseries [[spoiler: (just before the station is shut down for good)]], Campbell realizes how desperate things are and suggests some silliness involving a rich uncle.
-->'''Campbell:''' "If you got a rich uncle then today's the day to remind him of that filing clerk he once took to Blackpool....the name of the cheap hotel where they stayed....and the type of [[BestialityIsDepraved barnyard animal]] that was involved."
** And Rosalie's (whose counting the meager donations, so far....) in the [[FunnyBackgroundEvent background and looks up]] like "The hell?...".

* Most of he Antics of [[{{Gonk}} Alistair]] & Hector.
* LargeHam: In the ColdOpen of Episode 2, [[https://youtu.be/d0aOyBeAemc there is a rather hilarious, over-the-top motivational speaker]] at Eddie's workplace; A guy with a bushy mustache who looks and sounds like a more upbeat [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Yosemite Sam]]. Needless to say; Eddie and the one secretary who also works there think he's ridiculous and Eddie has to make up an imaginary "meeting" with a "customer" for a "successful sale" to [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere get the heck out of there.]]
* LaxativePrank: Campbell suggests that he should pull this on the entire hospital to Eddie as a means to make them leave their [=TVs=] and show interest in the Radio station. Eddie tells him that it's a stupid idea and "Where will you get all that laxative?". Fortunately; This prank never happened and remains just another fleeting goofy Campbell-idea.

Francine assumes Campbell pulled another [[https://youtu.be/HxyOTd_0UwE?t=4m58s unspecified, mess-making prank]] (Campbell is implied to be a prankster who gets into all sorts of hijinks at St. Judes, though we never really see this ourselves).
