* Earl tries to tell the sick Baby that everything will be alright. From Baby's perspective, we see that his illness has caused him to hallucinate his father promising to do terrible things to him and the rest of his family claim that they are impostors who ate his real family for breakfast. Yes, this kind of thing would freak out Baby, but the over-the-top nature of the scene makes it downright hysterical.

** Fran finds to her annoyance that Earl isn't listening to her, so she tries to perk up his attention by saying she'll take off all her clothes and dance naked in the driveway. Earl still doesn't pay attention to what his wife is saying and all her statement accomplishes is that it makes Baby want to dance naked.

** Charlene is nervous about performing for the troops, so Roy advises that she [[ImagineTheAudienceNaked pretend the soldiers are "in their underwears"]]. Charlene realizes that this technique means she'll be seeing teenage boys in their underwear, so she [[AllWomenAreLustful eagerly advances toward the stage]]. Earl, however, is less than thrilled about this, so he barks at his daughter to imagine the boys with pants on.

Earl lets this revelation get to his head, which causes the elders to use Wite-Out on the book and write that it is instead foretold that the child's father will be a blithering idiot. Earl even asks if he can do that.

** Baby is scared to go to sleep after watching a scary movie, so Earl gives him a bat to attack monsters with if they come for him. Earl tells Fran to turn off the light, but Baby immediately thinks Earl is a monster, and begins whacking him on the head. Earl yells for Fran to turn the light back on as he's pummeled by his own child, but Fran is too late to stop Earl from passing out.

* "Monster Under the Bed":
** When Robbie and Charlene are left to babysit Baby for the night, he begins crying about a monster again. After Charlene is abducted by a ''real monster'', he cries for Robbie to help. Robbie comes in with the vacuum cleaner, trying to tell his little brother that he's got a monster-killing device.

-->'''Police chief''': Hey there, monster. Ever share a hot cocoa with your dad?
-->'''Monster''': (''gasps'') Yeah... Yeah I did! Wow, that really brings back memories! [[HopeSpot Seems like you really understand!]]
-->'''Police chief''': You're right monster, we care so darn much... [[SuddenlyShouting NOW RELEASE THOSE KIDS, DIRTBAG!!]] Or we'll come down there and turn you off like a light switch!
-->'''Monster''': If I go, they go with me!!
-->'''Police chief''': You don't have the guts! [[TemptingFate Do it!]] Do it!
-->'''Monster''': Okay! (''begins hastily preparing his stew'')
-->'''Police chief''': [[HypocriticalHumor He's clearly unstable!]] (''cops cock their guns'')
-->'''Howard Handupme''': And it appears that negotiations have broken down between the police and the monster, and we are inching ever close to an almost inevitable firestorm.
** Then just as the battle is about to begin, everyone pauses to watch a commercial about cotton candy. Everyone, including the monster (who's already got Baby in his stew pot) sings along.
** Baby comes up with the idea of simply moving the house away from the monster's burrow. Howard Handupme calls in an expert to see if it can be done. The expert has a diorama of the Sinclairs' house on a flat piece of wood, and simply moves the diorama a few inches. "Sure!" And sure enough, the monster agrees to the arrangement.
-->'''Police chief''': Gets us home by 6.
