* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler: Hurlan's father tricks Hambrosia's husband into opening his booby-trapped casket, killing him. Heartshe is sentenced to 're-death' by electric chair, which reanimates his corpse, allowing him to take back control of the town. Meehaw passes away but seems to have taken over Hambrosia's body. Hurlan tearfully crawls back into the hole in the wall from where he came]]. Although this ending is not that bizarre given the general atmosphere of the show.

** The second season manages to explain the ending of the first, then ends on an even more absurd note. [[spoiler:Almost the entire population of the holler manages to escape, Hurlan included, by entering a portal into the city through Meemaw's hoo-ha. They all move into a large apartment together, but when Hurlan walks into a room, he finds another television set of his father's, a massive pile of new video tapes, and his father himself on the TV screen pouring a can of "Fate" out of the VCR drive...]]

Not only do Boss Hoss's video's manage to hold lengthy conversations with people, but he even responds to knowledge and events that he couldn't possibly have known about before death, but reacts to them with appropriate surprise. He also makes alternate video tapes in case his various plans are foiled, and somehow receives oral sex despite being a face on a tv screen.
