Later, when Karen is accepted, Davis warns her of the "gruelling" initiation ceremony... only for Oscar to tell her that involves she has to hit ''Davis'' with a stick. Of course, hitting Davis with a stick... no matter who is joining.stick seemed to be the whole reason she wanted to join the club in the first place, and Oscar really wanted that nice sash, so it's possible he may have fudged the rules for her a little bit.

!Tropes Referenced:
* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: Hank tries to tell a story this way in the ColdOpen, except he accidentally starts off by mentioning it's about himself.
* CallBack: [[Recap/CornerGasS2E17SlowPitch Oscar being part of the Harvesters Club]] is a plot point again.
* CharacterFilibuster: Lacey's "slouching camping" story is implied to be this way. She even follows Wanda after the latter attempts to make an escape.
* DisorganizedOutlineSpeech: ''Both'' Hank's AndThatLittleGirlWasMe story and Lacey's CharacterFilibuster story can also fall into this category, as they have to backtrack to points they initially forgot to mention.
* DoubleMeaning:
-->'''Lacey:''' I don't want to toot my own horn, but I was a member of the Toastmakers Club.\\
'''Hank:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Look Lacey, I know how to make toast. I need help telling stories.]]
* EmbarrassingNickname: As a result of Hank's story (based on Brent's suggestion), Lacey becomes known as "Pork Chop Face" for the duration of the episode. Later, another Hank lie earns Brent the moniker "Coffee Crotch".
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Brent is the initial reason Hank makes fun of Lacey. Hank then makes fun of Brent later. At the end of the episode, Lacey has the whole bar cracking up with a story that makes fun of both Brent and Hank.
* HumblePie: Lacey is proud to give Hank story telling tips, until she is humiliated when Hank points out a piece of bread from her sandwich is stuck to her chin.
* InitiationCeremony: Oscar's club has one that involves hitting Davis with a stick... no matter who is joining.
* LameComeback: Davis sees Oscar with a sash and asks if he's won a beauty pageant, so Oscar claims he came last in a "Davis is Stupid" pageant. Karen points out the flaw in his retort:
-->'''Karen:''' But you're in the pageant, so you're still stupid. Stupider than the ''average'' person, just not as stupid as Davis.\\
'''Davis:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I've never even heard of this pageant.]]
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Emma's bowl (and any other just like it) does seem to have a special effect on the potatoes produced inside. Not even [[TheSkeptic Wanda]] seems to doubt its power by the end.
* {{Malaproper}}: Hank constantly forgets the word "embellish", calling it other words like "emboss", "embroider" or "embezzle".
* SarcasmBlind: When Lacey sarcastically asks why Hank isn't calling her Pork Chop Face, he assumes she really wants to be called that:
-->'''Hank:''' [[InnocentlyInsensitive Hey Pork Chop Face]], can I get some coffee?\\
'''Lacey:''' ''[offended]'' Hank!\\
'''Hank:''' Oh, sorry... Hey Pork Chop Face, can I get some coffee ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint please]]''?
* SecretHandshake: An unseen one from Oscar's club. Apparently they do it a lot for such a short-lived group:
-->'''Karen:''' I'm kinda bored.\\
'''Oscar:''' Wanna do the secret handshake again?\\
'''Karen:''' ''[looking at her hand]'' Nah, I'm already getting a callous.
* StealthInsult:
-->'''Emma:''' You know, not having the potato bowl isn't so bad. I feel kind of liberated, like a weight's been lifted off.\\
'''Oscar:''' ''[holding up what appears to be soy sauce]'' Hey, what's with the brown ketchup?\\
'''Emma:''' And yet another weight is still hanging around my neck.
