* HilariousInHindsight: During the "Sears Tire Change" bit, he jokes that they should change the name of the Sears Tower, which is exactly what happened in 2009. Rather than Ron White's Big Ol' Goddamn Building, however, it was instead renamed the Willis Tower.

* MemeticMutation: In one skit, he says that "I found out that there's a place called Bum Fuck, Egypt. Only way to get there is to go up Shit Creek." "Bum Fuck, Egypt", or BFE for short, has become a slang term for "middle of nowhere".
** This one is OlderThanTheyThink, being used by US military personnel since at least the 1980s. Worth noting, Ron White used to serve in the US Navy.

Ron doesn't consider himself to be a veteran and always makes clear that he happened to be serving as the Vietnam War ended and not "during" the conflict.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: In one skit, he notes that he doesn't want UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden to face the death penalty because he feels that Bin Laden, as an Islam, is mentally prepared for death. What Bin Laden ''would'' be unprepared for is giving a porn star a rimjob. Which he then proceeds to act out. Instantly lampshaded by Ron at the end:
