** A running gag is Lindsay's attempts to seduce the family lawyer Bob Loblaw, and him completely [[IgnoreTheFanservice ignoring her]]. In one episode she claims to have finally caught his attention with one of her "little hints". The ensuing flashback shows her grabbing him by the collar and shouting "Why won't you fuck me!?"

A monochrome clip from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI8-Z4gQZ1c this video]] then plays with some caption explaining that like most Huskies, Skaya was [[DramaQueen just being dramatic at the groomers and not because she was hurt]]. The music that plays just adds to the humour.
