* Louie's nightmares in "Untitled". In the first one, he's in his apartment with his daughters and goes to the door, and nothing is behind it but a black abyss. Suddenly, some horrifying naked homunculus thing leaps out at him. There are a few more, each one about as scary.

* The fictional cartoon that Jane and her friends watch during her sleepover seems to consist only of a screaming box. The rapt attention they all pay to the screen is eerie.
* Just... everything that Never does or says. The first time that he does anything of note is when he pushes an occupied baby carriage into the street, inadvertently causing a gas truck to burst, causing an explosion. A perfectly executed case of CrossingTheLineTwice.

---> '''Sean''': So what if I just decided to kick your ass right now? What would you do then? Huh?! D'you want that? I'm serious, I can hurt you really bad -- right now. (Pushes his freshly scabbed knuckles into Louie's face) Y'see this, huh?! This was just two days ago, destroyed this guys face, must've hit him like 40 times. Teeth all over the place, just left him there bleeding. Probably sent him to the hospital. Are you ready for that? I'm kinda feeling like doing that to you right now -- gonna be honest.

* The opening to the episode "Gym" has Louie falling asleep to a newscast, where the anchorlady starts saying inappropriate things. Louie, weirded out, pauses it... and her expression gradually transforms from a newscaster-appropriate cheery face into a terrifying glower. The scary part is that it happens so gradually that you likely won't notice it's changing until suddenly she's got a NightmareFace.

* The episode "God" is entirely serious. It's a flashback to Louie's childhood at about the age of nine, in which he acts out in Catholic School, and his teacher brings in a guest speaker. The guest speaker goes in to horrific detail about the tortures Jesus endured and acts them out on a student in pantomime. He calls Louis from a pew, gives him a mallet and a nail, and orders him to drive them in to his friend (he doesn't). That night, Louis has a nightmare about crucifying his friend. He wakes up, runs back to the church with a hammer and pulls the nails out of the Jesus on the church's crucifix. They find him in the morning asleep, crying and hugging the plastic Jesus.
