** In one episode, Steve is having a problem when the kid next to him declares it looks like he'll need Chad's help. At first it sounds like the kid is referring to himself, until Steve tells him to stop pretending he's Chad because Chad's dead. Steve mentions he would've loved to get Chad's advice because Chad was great. A short while later, Stan encounters a guy wearing a shirt dedicated to Chad's memory. Who or what Chad was and how he died never get explained.
Added DiffLines:
*** While we're not shown how Stan uses all these things, he has a couple of spectators who witness the use of the objects in question. Their expressions range from shock, horror, joy, and disgusted contempt.
