** At the end of the first episode, Stan logs out of his blog and goes onto another website, claiming it is his own "doggy treat." It turned out to actually be HOT POODLES, a clear porn reference.
** In the food truck episode:
--> '''Avery:''' And Tyler's still working in the food truck.\\
'''Bennett and Ellen:''' What?\\
'''Chloe:''' He has no business being a father!\\
'''Bennett and Ellen:''' What?!
** Upon viewing Stan's family tree, a cat is clearly visible, to which Stan embarrassingly exclaims "Don't pay that any mind. It was the Seventies!"
** In the episode where Stan tries to be a school mascot, resulting in [[ItMakesSenseInContext pig-napping]] the other school's mascot and {{hilarity ensu|es}}ing, towards the end, Bennett looks towards Ellen, implies having "success sex", removes his shirt... to reveal he's wearing his wife's sparkly lips turtleneck. Followed up by a prison rape joke. Pushing the envelope anyone?
** And this gem from "Dog Loses Girl":
--->'''Avery:''' You're supposed to wipe your hair out of the shower drain. Do you know how gross that is? It's like a second little head down there.
** In "The Parrot Trap," it's implied that Stan has eaten the buttons off Ellen's coat. Later, he says that the parrot "[[BringMyBrownPants scared the buttons out of him]]."
** Then there was the time Tyler was trying to convince Avery to help him get a girl back...
-->'''Tyler:''' Not just her cabasa. I like what's up here. (''points to his head'')\\
'''Avery:''' Cabasa ''means'' head.\\
'''Tyler:''' Oh. Then some of my other texts ''do not'' make sense at all.
** One episode involved a reference to neutering:
-->'''Stan:''' This is why I never had kids. That, and I never had the desire after that weird weekend at the vet.
** Ellen and Bennett attempting to give TheTalk to Avery.
** How about the fact that Ellen quite clearly mentions blood in "The Parrot Trap"?
