** In Season Two's "World War III", Bull asks Yakov if life in the Soviet Union is really that bad. Yakov asks Bull to imagine that he's ''"in the middle of Milwaukee"'', and will ''stay'' in the middle of Milwaukee no matter how far he goes in any direction. Bull runs off screaming.

* JobsOnlyVolunteer: Subverted when Harry explains how he became a judge. A judge position has just opened up and had to be filled immediately. The official in charge had a list of judge candidates and started calling up people on the list. However, this happened on the weekend and almost everyone on the list could not be reached by phone. Harry was at the bottom of the list but was the first candidate who was home and able to pick up the phone, so he was offered the job. Harry than points out to everyone that he might have been at the bottom of the list and gotten the job through weird luck but he was still on the list, thus he was vetted and considered competent enough to be a judge.

** "Dan's Boss": Dan learns that his new boss is a midget named Vincent Daniels. Dan spends the majority of the episode denigrating and insulting Vincent, until he ends up rather predictably fired. Harry gives Dan a WhatTheHellHero lecture, which Vincent overhears. He relates the story of his DisappearedDad, and Dan has a JerkassRealization and sincerely apologizes. Vincent rehires him, leading to this moment:
---> '''Dan:''' You're taking me back?
---> '''Vincent:''' Yes. Because I think you're being sincere. Also, I've seen your conviction record. You're good.
---> ''(Dan looks gratified)''
---> '''Vincent:''' But most of all I'm taking you back because it will give me the opportunity to make your life a LIVING HELL! You think you're a tough customer? Well, move over, Buster! Because I'm the toughest, I'm the meanest, I'm the nastiest little man God ever put on this earth! I'm going to make you run, I'm going to make you jump, I am going to make you slither on the ground like a snake!
---> '''Dan:''' GOD BLESS YOU! ''(Dan hugs him, then leaves)''
** "Dan's Operation Pts. 1 & 2": Two particularly heartbreaking moments from the two parter. In the first half, Harry is trying to give Dan some sound, heartfelt advice, and Dan, in no mood, snaps at him, saying, "Has it ever occurred to you that the only reason I listen to you is that it is my job! I have to!" After Dan goes into a coma and then comes out of it, he and Harry have another heart to heart where Dan expands on that, saying that of the many, many women he's slept with, none of them have ever said to him "I love you", and he says that it's because in order to be loved, on must be able to give, and he ''cannot'' give. Harry, however, gives Dan a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech.
** "Earthquake". Dan is trapped in an elevator with Roz and two sumo wrestlers (ItMakesSenseInContext), after an earthquake immobilizes it between floors. Dan is panicking due to claustrophobia, until Roz slaps him. But when they're freed, Roz tells everyone that Dan was a real cool customer who handled himself well. When Dan asks her about it, later, she gives us this gem:
---> '''Roz:''' I don't want anyone to know I was nice to you.
---> '''Dan:''' Why?
---> '''Roz:''' Because then everybody would want to be my friend. Then they'd want to hang around all the time, and sooner or later two of them would get into an argument. And I'd try to cool them off, but I'm not much good at that, so I'd just gun 'em all down, and end up frying in the electric chair.
---> '''Dan:''' (nods, then smiles) Better to be safe than sorry.

* StoppedDeadInTheirTracks: "The Wheels of Justice pt. 2", after Harry was forced to evict a family and the son was shot trying to hold up a liquor store, Harry [[TenMinuteRetirement quits]]. The reason it's only a brief pause for him? They track him down to a pool hall where he's hustling pool, and after the others leave, Dan tears into him, in one of his greatest JerkWithAHeartOfGold moments. He tells Harry he'd just broken him in and now he was going to have to deal with a new guy. When that doesn't sway Harry, he says he'll give Harry's respects to the downtrodden. Harry accuses Dan of not playing fair, and tries to walk off. Dan stops him dead in his tracks by going into SincerityMode and telling him he was just and fair, and that he admired him for it.
