-->'''Soren''': Yes! ''Film/PrettyWoman'' is a perfect example! Or...or watch ''Film/MaidInManhattan''! Or ''Series/SexAndTheCity''!\\

** And throwing sugar packets on the table and asking them how many it was, ala {{Rainman}}

** Also in one episode, Michael interprets Sex and the City as being porn, he immediately bolts out of the diner and we later see him smashing his television in frustration.

The show is [[http://www.cracked.com/series/after-hours/ currently ongoing]], although new episodes are posted rather sporadically. New episodes tend to come out at least once a month, though there is no set schedule on posting dates.

* IllBeInMyBunk: Michael pulls this in the Ninja Turtles episode. He feels the need to drop everything and run to Blockbuster once somebody clues him in about "pseudo-porn for women" (also known as ''SexAndTheCity'').

* KissingCousins: Van-dwelling Cody from StepByStep may have had this with an adoptive relative.
-->'''Katie''': You know who's really creepy? Cody from StepByStep.

-->'''Michael''': Yeah, it's not like he ([[StepByStep Cody]]) was a violent bully! Like your [[Series/FamilyMatters Carl Winslow]] or [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Uncle Phil]]!

* AndThatsTerrible: Katie notes that in ''{{Footloose}}'', people's idea of a good time involved punching women, and a voiceover adds, "Not Cool!"

* ProtagonistCentredMorality: Raised in the discussion of ''FerrisBuellersDayOff''. When everyone challenges Dan when he claims it's the worst high school in 1980s movies, he points out that they're assuming it'd be great because they're ''also'' assuming they'd be Ferris instead of one of the minor characters.

* AspergerSyndrome: Michael, in true CloudCuckooLander form, assumes that everyone has Asperger's in the Batman episode for no reason whatsoever. He tries to 'verify' their Asperger's by tossing a random number of coffee sweeteners to the floor of the diner or onto the table and demanding that his victim (in order: Dan, Katie, and Soren) tell him how many he threw. In TheStinger, editor Cody Johnston shows up in a cameo and demands of Katie and Soren (who just had a SlapSlapKiss moment) who put 31 sugar packs on the floor.

--->'''Katie''': Oh my God, don't even get me started on ForrestGump! You wanna talk about a creepy rape scene?

--> '''Dan''': No, he does love her. They say as much in SuperMarioSunshine.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodSandwich: The {{Pixar}} episode has the four maliciously destroy each other's food for no particular reason. Katie dumps Dan's milkshake on his plate, Dan takes Mike's chicken leg and drops it in Soren's soup, and Soren, deciding that this means ''no one'' gets to eat, pours the soup on Katie's meal. Dan eventually gives in and attempts to drink his milkshake off the rest of his food with a straw, however.

** Katie in general has a tendency to throw around comparisons to Nazis quite frequently when deconstructing things she doesn't like. Lampshaded in the movie musicals episode, when she tries to compare singing and dancing along with the protagonist's song to people being swayed into following Adolf Hitler. Daniel irritably points out that it could also be compared to everyone being swayed into following Martin Luther King, and that there's no need to automatically leap to the worst possible interpretation in order to "ruin everything".

*** "Katie later married a kind, intelligent, handsome man unaffiliated with her beloved 'diner gang,' although that hardly warrants an inclusion here, since a woman's life is comprised of so much more than just who she marries (but it's still factually accurate, and now I'm afraid we're out of time.)
*** "Michael founded a band that saw moderate local success until other life priorities intruded and they all stopped practicing as much, secretly wishing they hadn't committed to such a huge obligation in the first place.
*** "Dan was in a serious car accident two weeks later. He tweaked his neck badly, and doctors said it should go away in a few weeks, but it didn't. It didn't go away for two months."
*** "Sen. Soren Bowie had sex so fast he caught on fire and died."
