** In the episode ''Eric's Naughty No-no'', the guys see an X-rated movie, which makes Eric think he needs to start using new "moves" when having sex with Donna. Later in the episode, when Eric and Donna are about to have sex, the camera pans up to one of Eric's G.I. Joe figures with its hand in a very suggestive position. Off-screen, Donna cries out in shock and disgust. Naughty no-no indeed...

* KarmaHoudini: Casey Kelso. His reputation as a charming ladies man comes off as an InformedAttribute when he's completely unlikeable who never does anything decent in any of his appearance. He acts as a corrupting influence on Donna, getting her to skip school and drink in the middle of the day -- keep in mind of course Donna is underage and much younger than him. However even when saying horrible things, he continues to charm everyone around him, which Donna even notes doesn't line up ("The words are wrong, but they sound so good coming out of his mouth"). When the parents finally intervene on his relationship with Donna, Casey just breaks it off immediately, offering no resistance to them, and walks away breaking Donna's heart. He never suffers any consequences or reprocussions. He later reappears twice, both times as sleazy as ever, and aside from a ShutUpHannibal from Eric again gets away scot-free.
