* Harmo-Nation is performing at the airport stunt show where Buster Thunder has been convinced to do the jump after a lot of pleading from Frank. He decides to do the jump right then, 20 minutes ahead of schedule, before he loses his nerve, and Harmo-Nation is standing in his path. Mid-song, as they see him approaching, they suddenly sing "FUCK!" in perfect harmony before clearing out.

* The mystery surrounding Big Bill's dying words; "Box 16". Frank spends the entire season trying to find out the meaning, first thinking it's related to a bunch of junk, mostly old Chinese food takeout menus and a stolen ashtray, he found in a box among his dad's stuff, until Sue pointed out the box actually said "91". After finding a mysterious key with the number on it on Bill's keychain, Frank spends episodes looking all over town for the lock it fits, almost giving up, until he discovers it's for Locker 16 at the local bowling alley, where he finds a bunch of old cassette tapes his dad recorded, and spends weeks listening to them, hoping that they contain some kind of fatherly advice or epiphany, even though it mostly seems to be Big Bill's audio diary. After all that, the SeriesFinale reveals that Bill's last words weren't "Box 16" at all, it was ''"Bach 16"'', AKA, the BWV 16 by classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach, which had been used for the melody of Bill's favorite ''White House Beer'' jingle back in the 30's. This is revealed in the last few minutes of the entire show!

Despite being the owner, Smoky still does deliveries in person, all the company trucks are falling apart, heavily vandalized, and with crude graffitti all of them, and Smoky himself is ridiculously demanding and borderline abusive.
