Pilot
- When Mark first sees Baby Fox sitting next to Silver Fox, he wonders if Baby is Silver's son.
- Fox's Establishing Character Moment is stealing Mark's lunch and shoving his face against the bus window.
- Middle and Silver keep trying to bully Ritchie by making fun of his heritage, except that they're too stupid to understand the difference between China, Japan, and the Philippines. The narrator calls it a shocking indictment of the Catholic-school geography program.
- The Critches resort to eating meat from a moose that got killed near their house, because it's free meat.
Lordy Lordy, Look Who's Dead
- Pop comments that the dead man at the funeral looks hideous, only to discover that the man's widow is standing nearby.
Royal Visit
- Mike, Sr. and Mary are arguing more than usual, and Mark fears that his parents might divorce. Pop reassures him that that would never happen, because it's more likely Mary would just kill Mike.
Details are Scanty
- Dick and Mike, Jr. debate whether or not they would eat meat that they knew had been in someone's pants. Dick decides that it would depend on the kind of meat; beef would be a no-go, but if it were striploin, that would be way too valuable to just throw out.
Reach for the Top
- One of the questions is "What is the capitol of the Philippines?" Mark guesses Saigon, and promptly gets a Death Glare from Ritchie, who's actually from the Philippines.
Bonfire Night
- As Mark and Ritchie insist on accompanying Fox to pick up her brother's "package", Mark exctiedly suggests that they're going on a quest, like in Lord of the Rings. Ritchie asks how that story ends. Mark sheepishly admits that he's never actually read the books.
- While trying to climb over a fence, Ritchie gets his pants stuck on the fence, and refuses to let them rip because they're his only pair of school-appropriate pants. He suggests that Mark and Fox leave him behind, but insists on reciting the line from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan as if he's making a Heroic Sacrifice.Ritchie: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. (holds out his hand in the Vulcan salute)Mark: (returning salute) Or the one.Fox: (so incredibly done with all this) Everyone I know is an arse.
Thanksgiving
- Having alienated his entire cast, Mark is forced to perform the entirety of "I'm a Baby Myself" on his own. It is predictably terrible. The real kicker is poor Mike, Jr., who watches the entire thing, completely mortified.
