'''Hank:''' No, dad. My mower is not too old and my mom is not too old. But this isn't about my mom and it's certainly not about my mower. It's about a bitter old man who blames everybody but himself for all his own problems. And if you ever talk about my mom or my mower like that again, you're not welcome in my house.

* KickTheDog: While Cotton was incredibly insulting Hank and Tilly throughout the episode, these moments stand-out:
** He trashes Tilly's cooking and after Hank tells him to at least stop insulting her while Bobby is around, he then ups the ante saying how lousy she was in bed. The whole room went quiet before the other family members look at Hank, who just facepalms in embarrassment.

** Cotton's reason why he wouldn't change his vote after seeing how the lawnmower is bad? It's because he said that the mower is good enough to strap Tilly and push her off the cliff. Tilly laments that he did this again and in public... but that's when Hank finally has had enough.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When the moderator asks for a show of hands on whether or not the new mower is good, Bills asks if they're voting for the mower or Hank's mother (this was after Cotton insulted her again). He was then told they were voting for the mower, to which Bill raises his hand.

* SeeYouInHell: A variation. After Hank chews out Cotton for insulting his lawnmower and his mother, and threatening to not welcome him into his home if he doesn't stop insulting Tilly, Cotton gives a childish insult to Hank, collects the $50 participation fee and storms off into the mall. Reverend Hubert tries to console Hank by saying: "I don't if there's a God. I don't know if there's a heaven. But your daddy's going to hell!"
