* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Wildly subverted. Doug is embarrassed by his dad for seemingly no reason other than he's a teen and unconsciously believes rebellion and being misunderstood make one cool. His dad is one of the coolest, most down-to-earth people in the world, to the point where his friends quickly prefer to hang out with his dad over him.

* HalloweenEpisode: The first (and only) episode aired on CBS was ''The State 43rd Annual Halloween Special''. Most of the sketches in the special have nothing to do with Halloween, with much of it devoted to the troupe's usually surreal and off-the-wall brand of humor, complete with mock interviews with Music/{{Sting}} and [[Music/TheCars Ric Ocasek]] reminiscing about growing up with The State's previous (non-existent) Halloween specials.

* GagPenis: An infamous appearance on MTV Spring Break's ''Shut Up and Laugh'' where the cast acted out a scene, supposedly from Shakespeare's ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'', that contained an uncomfortable amount of focus on the ludicrously tight leotards worn by the cast. Somehow, even Kerri Kenney had a bulge under her skirt -- and someone else had a bulge that went ''around his leg three times''.

Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodBoardGames: PlayedForLaughs when two of the boys play the strip version of ''TabletopGame/{{Battleship}}'', totally no homo, of course. One of them comments that the game would be more enticing if they actually wanted to see each other naked. They still have a good time.
