During the end of the episode, while in the eye of the storm, a naked Hank needing something to cover himself is between choosing a American flag or a cactus before choosing the latter due to not wanting to shame his American heritage.


** And when he's in the eye of the storm, rather than grabbing the flag to cover more of his nude, due to American pride and not wanting to ruin the flag, he grabs a cactus, which is smaller and more likely to prick him, before entering the shelter.



* MilitariesAreUseless: A variant, which plays like the PoliceAreUseless trope: the military has the road blocked off with the Hazmat team just poking around a barrel of bug poision (from Dale's unsuccessful attempt to film the tornado) with a stick. Naturally, they block off Hank's way to the trailer park. And when he tries to get them to move, they're not willing to cooperate, and bring in Bill (who for some reason is serving as the security). And instead of helping Hank out, he just flaunts his authority demanding him to call him "Sgt. Dautrieve". Eventually Hank has had enough and drives around them.

* {{Projeggtile}}: Dale tells Bobby that a level three tornado will send an egg straight though a brick wall. ("Tornado chasers call it 'Humpty's Revenge'.") When the tornado hits, Bobby takes out an egg and throws it to see if it'll go through a wall. The wind instead blows it back, literally leaving Bobby with egg on his face.



* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the trailer park, with Boomhauer behind the wheel, they successfully tip up Luanne's trailer the right way, but after he does so, he accidentally hits a trailer for sale and tips that over. The guys quickly get the hell outta there after that.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* AdultFear: Hank, when Peggy and Luanne head towards the Shiney Pines Trailer Park as a tornado approaches it and gets more scared when he deals with several obstructions.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Luanne sees her old trailer for the first time since that bad fight between her parents: "So many bad memories. There's the form Mama stabbed Daddy with. The empty bottles from that awful night. And, oh no! Those mango-colored palazzo pants that made my butt look big."
* FullyClothedNudity: In the opening, Hank, who just woke up and getting coffee, sees Luanne putting some laundry on the kitchen table and says, "Morning, hon", thinking it's Peggy. When Luanne says "morning", Hank freaks out, putting on a coat, saying "I called you hon and I'm naked", even though he had on a tank top and sweat pants.
* HeelRealization: Hank gets this right after the argument and especially when he learns the tornado is headed towards Shiney Pines. And when he gets caught on the tornado himself while hanging onto a pole, he says he loves Peggy, Bobby and Luanne (the last one he says to a lesser extent, though, but she appreciates the words regardless).
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Bobby's goodbye to Luanne where he says he's never read her diary even though she suspected he did on June 18, 1995. And this of course, flies over Luanne's head.
* {{Irony}}: Bobby sees humor in Hank telling Peggy going to Hell then watching the news report on TV where Nancy says "trailer parks are hell in a tornado".
* JerkassBall: Hank really runs with the ball in this episode. Hank makes it clear he sees Luanne is a nuisance, and just tips her old trailer home back to its proper position so Luanne can live there just to get her out of his hair. And when Luanne says good-bye to him and says he's been like a father to her, he just gives her a card that gives her a discount on propane products, which puts her on the verge of tears. And when Peggy calls him out on this, he tells her to go to hell.
* MilitariesAreUseless: A variant, which plays like the PoliceAreUseless trope: the military has the road blocked off with the Hazmat team just poking around a barrel of bug poision (from Dale's unsuccessful attempt to film the tornado) with a stick. Naturally, they block off Hank's way to the trailer park. And when he tries to get them to move, they're not willing to cooperate, and bring in Bill (who for some reason is serving as the security). And instead of helping Hank out, he just flaunts his authority demanding him to call him "Sgt. Dautrieve". Eventually Hank has had enough and drives around them.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Inverted as it starts off as drama, with Hank being stripped completely naked while holding onto the pole while in the middle of the tornado. Then when they get in the eye of the storm, gets played straight and Hank is too embarrassed to go into the shelter with Luanne and the old lady. He then grabs a cactus to cover himself up. At the end when they drive home, Luanne mentions this, which Hank denies losing his underwear, which Peggy makes her humor him.
* RetailRiot: When Hank goes to the Mega-Lo-Mart to buy some fuel filters, he gets a 12-pack when he only needed one. And after dealing with an obstructive cashier, he has some angry customers who need some too, of which Hanks pays for them and takes the one and leaves the rest of them.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the trailer park, with Boomhauer behind the wheel, they successfully tip up Luanne's trailer the right way, but after he does so, he accidentally hits a trailer for sale and tips that over. The guys quickly get the hell outta there after that.
* SkewedPriorities: Bobby seems more worried about getting fruit pies at the Mega-Lo-Mart and trying to have an egg go through the wall rather than the lives of his mother and cousin.
