* Shane's skit on Violet's experience with Americans on the Titanic with Violet and an Amercian (which is from the previous skit from French in the 1700s which Shane makes fun of.
--->'''Violet:''' Can I help you with anything, ma'am? I love your fashionable twentieth-century American clothing and that you're not a reused puppet from another episode.
--->'''American Passenger:''' Oh, thank you. Yes...
Then a brief interuption from Shane because his computer went uninterrupted for too long and went dark.
--->'''American Passenger:''' (Continuing) Yes, if you could be a doll and get me a cup of tea.
--->'''Violet:''' ''Yes, ma'am''
--->'''American Passenger:''' ''(Gets intense and camera zooms in)'' BUT KNOW THAT YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL
--->'''Violet:''' Uh, yes, ma'am, thank you, ma'am.
--->'''American Passenger:''' (Casually) And a hot towel, as well ''(Gets intense again)'' BUT YOU ARE NOT, YOU HEAR ME, YOU ARE NOT A COG IN A WHEEL.
--->'''Violet:''' Right away, ma'am
--->'''American Passenger:''' ''(Still intense)'' YOU ARE A STRONG ''(Casually)'' And some fresh linens ''(Intense again)'' INDEPENDENT WOMAN, AND I RESPECT YOU
--->'''Violet:''' Very good, ma'am

* The Professor's first skit of the episode. Both the skit in general and Shane messing up.
--->'''Local:''' Oh hey, Brother Thomas.
--->'''Brother Thomas:''' Oh, my brother. Wonderful to see you. What, uh, brings your wonderful soul to the house of... ''(Shane messes up possibly mixing up which word he says next)''
--->'''Shane:''' ''Sorry, fuck!''
--->(Puppet History Technical Difficulties Cut)
--->'''Brother Thomas:''' (Continuing) What brings your beautiful soul to the house of His holiness today
--->'''Local:''' I saw something kind of weird recently. I could've sworn I saw someone wheeling barrels of ale into the church, but that couldn't be, right?
--->'''Brother Thomas:''' I mean, uh, it's funny, that you mention that because I saw something weird today too... I saw a dead man walking.
--->(Cut to Ryan looking both surprised and amused at the camera as suspenseful music chimes)
--->'''Brother Thomas:''' Huh, how'd you like to be dead?
--->'''Local:''' (Stammering) Whoa-whoa, I was... I was just letting you know... about somethin... I thought... It seemed like maybe some illicit activity.
--->'''Brother Thomas:''' And I'm just letting you know that if you mention those barrels to anybody else, you'll end up in one.
--->'''Jermaine:''' Damn.
--->'''Ryan:''' Oh, shit. He Walter Whited him.
--->'''Brother Thomas:''' May peace be with you.
Something else that makes this funny is that the Local puppet has their hand up, in an almost scared way like they are being threatened by a monk with the attitude Shane gives them.
* Later, Ryan mentions:
--->'''Ryan:''' Kinda similar to all those people that danced til they died in France.
The camera then cuts to the Professor in a dramatic black-and-white tone as suspenseful music plays then...
--->'''The Professor:''' (Completely causally) Oh, yeah, I've heard of them
Then later in the episode, longer than it should've taken him, Ryan realizes that this is about the very plague he was referring to and they even do a slow-mo of him realizing it. Continue to the previous post down below.

Per TRS, Just For Pun was renamed to Punny Trope Names due to misuse.


* When talking about how Truckee Lake was later re-named Donner Lake due to the party’s infamy, the Puppet History crew [[JustForPun take a detour]] to talk about what they would like named in their honor. Joyce wants a sex shop in a small town, and Ryan wants a garbage can on his former college’s campus (not a nice one, one that drunk kids throw up in).
