** The Bunnies manager recruits Farmer John after seeing him tackle General Specific's soldiers on the street while protecting Sheep. They make it to the big game... [[RealityEnsues and John gets completely trounced just like the other players.]] For one thing, he doesn't know how to play football. Second, he can only move and tackle like that when one of his animals is in danger. And three, even ignoring the first two, the other team are all about twice his size and three times his weight. John only manages to play good at the end of the game, and that's because Sheep wandered onto the field thinking he was a football.

* "Happy Clearance Day"
** Just the ridiculous concept behind the much-beloved Clearance Day. Invented in the 19th century by a department store owner named Clarance Von Clearance, who happened to be interested in calendars. One day, he was reading through a calendar, when he noticed something...
--> '''Clarence''': Great Scott!
--> '''Great Scott''': Yeeees?
--> '''Clarence''': I've just discovered that there isn't a single holiday this entire week!
--> '''Scott''': Great Aunt Petunia!
--> '''Petunia''': Yeees?
** After revealing his discovery, Clarence decided to invent a brand new holiday, one where everyone could get 30-50% off the retail price on the products in his stores ("except Timmy, I hate that brat!"), and Clearance Day became a beloved tradition overnight, to the point that it's taken on the trappings of Christmas, with gifts, decorations, songs, family gatherings, parties, etc. In modern day, it has it's own traditions, such as a Clearance Anvil instead of a christmas tree, which you're supposed to leave your Clearance Gifts underneath in the hopes that they'll survive the night. It also features an unseen Santa parody called "Schlanta Clearance", and a Clearance Day Burglar.
** Farmer John hosting a Clearance Day dinner at the farm, and invites Sheep home for the holidays. Since he's having dinner with all the animals on his farm, he tries to think of a meal that won't upset any of them, which makes sense in this setting since animals are sapient even if they can't talk, but rather than serving, say, fish or a vegetarian meal, he comes up with something called "water soup". It's exactly what it sounds like.
** General Specific's plan once he finds out about Sheep's visit home; have him and Private Public disguise themselves as "wandering chefs" and offer to make Farmer John's dinner for free. And it works!

* The season 1 finale, just for [[GainaxEnding how utterly bizarre it is]], even compared to the rest of the show. It ends up turning into a DayInTheLimelight for The Narrator who's drawn into the plot when he starts complaining about the overuse of the AllJustADream ResetButton in the episode and is capped off with TheReveal that [[spoiler: Sheep was the BigBad of the series [[EvilAllAlong all along]], [[SuddenlyVoiced can actually talk]], and is planning to put the Narrator into his Narrator-powered Laser]]. None of this insanity is brought up at all when season 2 starts.

** After General Specific's meddling with the device meant to transform Sheep into an unmarketable appearance causes Specific, Private Public, and the Angry Scientist to turn into chalky stick figures, General Specific's attempt at getting it right causes the Angry Scientist to become muscular and to speak in a deeper and more dramatic voice.
