* Given his overall [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain personality]], it makes sense why Uncle Ruckus has had [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands so many different jobs]] throughout the series. After all, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome no sane employer would want to keep someone that overtly and openly racist on their payroll]], even if they are a BoomerangBigot. Plus, when you take into account his moments of hostility towards the Freemans while on the job, who's to say he didn't behave like that towards other non-white customers?

* In "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back", Sarah doesn't notice anything off about Tom when [[DemonicPossession he's possessed by Stinkmeaner]], and even Robert and Riley didn't realize what was going on until Huey pointed it out. This could be a nod to the fact that Tom and Stinkmeaner are [[TalkingToHimself both voiced by Cedric Yarbrough]].

* While in-universe it was just a bad example, [[Creator/RKelly]]'s victim in "R. Kelly on Trial" calls him "Literature/ThePiedPiper of R&B!" The Piper, after not being paid by the townsfolk for leading the rats away, uses his music to abduct ''children'', making this one of the best {{Stealth Insult}}s of the series!

* Huey believes Ronald Reagan to be the devil himself. The Reagan who appears in "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus" is a very subtle portrayal of Satan.
** Satan is said to be a [[BitchInSheepsClothing friendly-looking person who wishes to secretly bring death and suffering to the world]]. This fits Dream!Reagan to the T: he acts like a warm and friendly person, but in reality, he's a hateful jerk who wants to bring death and suffering to others and encourages Ruckus to do the same.
** Satan is also known as the Prince of Lies, [[DealWithTheDevil and among his many acts is making bargains with a weak person and then going back on the deal]]. As an experienced politician, it is easy to imagine Dream!Reagan conning Ruckus with the promise of becoming white and then not delivering.

* In Thugnificent's first episode, he tells Huey congratulations for being able to read. At first it looks like he's just being an idiot; but then in another episode, we see his hometown is so decrepit and poor that many of the people can't even afford clothes (and thus are quite likely illiterate too). Thugnificent later mentions having a college degree (bachelor's in communications) as well. So of course he would appreciate that Huey is educated.

* In "Freedom Ride or Die", why would a proponent of non-violent direct action use a martial art, even one that is designed to protect one's attacker at all times? Well, we see what happens when Sturdy Harris doesn't do anything : two people are hit in the head by the debris of a baseball bat that shattered on his torso and another guy that tries to punch him gets a broken hand. So Harris pretty much ''has'' to be a bit more aggressive and take down his attackers as gently as possible because otherwise they're more dangerous to themselves than they are to him.

* The ending of "It's Goin' Down", which implies that [[spoiler:Jack Flowers and Ed Wuncler III might have been injured or killed in a shootout just outside of the Wuncler Mansion. These two characters, along with Gin Rummy, [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome are never seen again during Season 4]]. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse Just what the hell happened to them]]?]]

* What the White Shadow says about the government spying on Huey holds truth, and not just because of his far-left-wing activism. In the first episode, there's a BlinkAndYouMissIt moment where three ''very'' important-looking people (who all appear to be in the military) turn their heads towards Huey, overhearing his conspiracy theory about the FBI and the Pentagon during the fancy garden party. One of them was a DrillSergeantNasty-esque figure who gave a clear hand gesture.
