* EyelashFluttering: Anchorman is trying desperately to seem like he cares about the sad news he's presenting and furiously bats his eyelids to appear sad (as big lashes appear on his eyes for just this one scene.) He then demands his makeup artist draw sympathy lines around his eyes.

* LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: To get them out of his hair, the anchorman locks the Warners in the control room. When Dot asks why he would do that, Yakko responds "I don't know. Maybe he wants us to direct." Sure enough, they start messing around with the video controls and screwing up the broadcast until the anchorman is driven mad.
