Added DiffLines:

* ParentsAsPeople: Hank questions raising children on mindless entertainment like the Manger Babies. Peggy justifies it as parents needing a break for ten minutes, even if it leads to slightly dumber kids, which a number of mothers around her agree with, one stating she's so tired.

* InvisibleAdvertising: InUniverse; Luanne's latest show sells out...but nobody shows up because John Redcorn neglected to mention exactly ''where'' the event was held. He then blames the low attendance on [[BlatantLies babies having very minute attention spans.]] And then uses ''that'', plus the "low" video sales (another of his BlatantLies, as Luanne sees for herself just how many people enjoy it), as an excuse to cut her.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Luanne's desperation driving her to steal Dale's story, and Dale destroying the Manger Babies in revenge, is directly caused by John Redcorn "forgetting" to put the address of Luanne's performance on the flyers. It ultimately showcases just how much of an UngratefulBastard he is, considering just how much of a family connection she has to him (such as her husband playing in his old band, and being the niece of Hank, who'd helped him God knows how many times over).

Luanne makes a direct-to-DVD series out of her Manger Baby puppets, but risks selling out and becoming HotterAndSexier when the franchise grows stale and other entertainers line up to take her place. Meanwhile, Dale writes a children's book about a lost bullet finding his way back home.
