Season One

Sexi Moose Adventure

• The Tobins consider sleeping in until 5:45 A.M. to be a luxury.
• A moose breaks into the Tobin's house and gets some of the balloons that spelled out "Happy Sixteenth Birthday" tangled up in his antlers, specifically the ones that spell out "SEXIN" at first and then later spell out "SEXI". Honeybee asks if it’s supposed to be a sex moose.
• Alyson flirting with Beef by pointing out that the total of his purchase ends with sixty-nine cents. This goes over Ham's head.
• Ham comes out as gay to his family only for Moon to tell him they already know. Apparently, he has come out to them a bunch of times and keeps forgetting it.
  Ham: Well, thank you for being an ally! Why are we yelling?
  Beef: Because I'm upset about other stuff!
• During Beef's rant towards his family, he asks Moon if he has any secrets he wants to share. Moon tries to tell him he knows their mother isn't really dead, but Beef ignores it and pretends Moon doesn't have any secrets to reveal.
• After Wolf gives everyone a flare to signal to others when they find Beef, Ham immediately fires two flares in sky just so he can gaze at the sight of it. During the search, he accidentally fires it and gazes at it again. When Judy finds Beef trapped at a bottom of an ice chasm, she accidentally fires her flare into the ground near Beef.
  Judy: Man, this family is not good at flares.
• Apparently, there's two ways to describe a broken bone in Alaska: "regular broken" and "Alaska broken".
• Kathleen's goodbye letter to her family. She wrote "Smell you later." and drew a picture of a hand giving the middle finger with the fingers replaced with penises.

Feast of Not People Adventure

• Every festival, Moon signs up to play a cadaver in the Daver Dash. He gets too into his role that he doesn't break character even when the rest of the family needs to help Judy and Ham with their cake. By the end of the episode, everyone forgets that Moon is still outside playing a cadaver at night despite the festival being over and the episode ends with him making a smile. It also seems none of the competitors in the dash ever found him.
• Wolf's plan to get ready for the Daver Dash: using an app (which apparently causes his phone to continually crash) to work on his abs, drinking a lot of liquid to increase his bladder size, and wearing high-traction gloves, which he wears the entire time so he can break them down. Unfortunately, on the day of the race, he realizes too late that the gloves were inside-out the whole time so the thorns of the gloves end up damaging his hands, he drank too much liquid and ends up peeing his pants, and the exercises from the app end up hurting his abs.
  Wolf: I'm a monster! A monster covered in urine! And my abs hurts from my sob because of that dumb app!
  • While this is happening, the other participants are watching all this and they get grossed out when Wolf reveals he peed his pants, with one guy backing away from him.
• Ham confesses to his family that he's the Cake Lady and that he can't think of a good idea for the Feast Day cake. He then shows them the list of ideas he drafted so far.
  Beef: Okay, it says "pie" crossed out seven times, and then "cake." Well, cake's a good start. What about... plain cake?
  • Wolf keeps pitching a giant cake shaped like a cupcake, or possibly a large cupcake cake but small.
• Judy helps Ham get inspiration for his festival cake by taking him into the woods and have him only wear his bathing suit while being blindfolded so he can understand what the early settlers went through when they were cold and hungry.
  Judy: Are you cold?
  Ham: Yes.
  Judy: Are you hungry?
  Ham: I had some chips.
  Judy: That's no good. Don't use that.
  • When Ham is giving his speech to the crowd at the festival and mentions what Judy did to him, he worded it as a "non-sexual roleplaying exercise".

Avocado Barter Adventure

• Beef's response to Wolf's problem that he got Honeybee a gift certificate for a couple's massage for their six-month anniversary:
  Beef: Son, I want to feel upset and anxious for you, but give me something to work with here.
• Beef and Ham decide to decorate Wolf and Honeybee's Shrek-themed anniversary party without Judy's help since she's interviewing Honeybee, despite Beef pointing out that Judy does most of the work when planning their parties while they just move the stuff. Because they're unable to watch the film (due to the falcons using their satellite dish as a nest again), they have to rely on Ham's memory when he saw the first ten minutes of the film at a slumber party before he fell asleep eight years ago. As you can expect, he's completely off. According to Ham, Shrek is dark grey, he loves the beach, he always say "Get my ass to Kokomo", he loves savory desserts (particularly Cool Ranch pudding) and tapas, his best friend is a pirate cow named Captain Cow, he lives in a beachside bungalow in Miami, and his nemesis is The Babadook. Everyone is left speechless when they see the party, and none of them have the courage to correct them.
  • The moment Beef called the film "Shrock" is when you knew they were going to botch the decorations.
• When Wolf runs into his ex-girlfriend Lara, he mentions when they last saw each other, she was going for her bush pilot's license, and asks her what happened with that. She just glances at the plane she'd just exited, then back at Wolf.
• When Wolf takes Honeybee to the panic room (it's just a closet and the panic room is work in progress) to tell her what he did the entire day, he tells her no one will bother them in here. When Wolf is about to apologize to Honeybee, Ham opens the door so he can grab some Sterno canisters for the party and then leaves, but not before he greets them.
  Wolf: We really need to get a lock for the panic room door.
• Wolf and Honeybee's Silly Love Song that plays over the end credits, which uses the numerous horrible, violent deaths from the Final Destination film series as metaphors for their feelings for one another.

Romantic Meat-Based Adventure

• Moon capturing a flightless ruffed grouse (which he named Timothy) to teach it how to fly and then re-release it into the wild with Ham helping him.
  • When Moon leaves Timothy with Wolf and Honeybee to teach him how to fly while he's in school, Honeybee will show Timothy Top Gun to get him inspired to fly, but Moon tell her to fast forward through Goose's death scene. Later, when Moon tries to show Timothy how to fly by jumping off a tree and he ends up fracturing his arm, Ham tells Timothy this was the scene from the movie he wasn't supposed to see.
• Honeybee revealing she doesn't care for birds because she always catch them peeking through her windows.
  Honeybee: Stop peeking, birds. [referring to her body] This isn't for you.
  Wolf: Yeah, it's for her birds. A woman's body is her own dominion.
  Honeybee: Eyes to yourself, Timothy. Don't look at my dominion.
• When Judy tells Beef about the "Meet and Meat" single mixer, Beef tells his family he actually off to Hawaii for a work trip and then tries to run away. Moon calls out a Code Dad and the family tries to stop him from leaving.
  Beef: Children, sorry that I tried to run away, and you were forced to wrestle me to the ground and then sit on me for 15 minutes while I fought you like a wild bear.
  Wolf: It's no problem, Dad. We'll wrestle you to the ground any day, and I mean that.
• When Wolf tells Judy they need to help Beef brush up on his dating skills before the meet:
  Wolf: The "Meet and Meat" is no joke. There's, uh... How do I say this? A lot of pool cues, not a lot of pockets, if you know what I mean.
  Judy: No. What do you mean?
  Wolf: A lot of hot dogs, not a lot of buns.
  Judy: Huh?
  Honeybee: What he's saying is there'll be tons of, uh, Washington Monuments, not a lot of Grand Canyons. Do we need to spell this out for you?
  Judy: Maybe.
  Wolf: A lot of letters, not a lot of envelopes.
  Honeybee: A lot of prairie dogs, not a lot of prairie dog holes.
  Ham: A lot of feet, not a lot of socks.
  Wolf: Ham gets it.
  Moon: Tons of DVDs, not a ton of DVD shelves to put 'em on?
  Wolf: Oh, uh, kinda. Yeah. Good try, Moon. A lot of Andre the Giants, not a lot of gigantic sleeping bags.
  Judy: Uh, what are you guys talking about?!
  Wolf: A lot of men, very few women.
  Judy: Oh... okay, then, yeah.
• When the kids are helping Beef with his conversation skills during his date and Wolf pretends to be his date (while speaking in a feminine voice), Beef keeps talking about fish and has trouble trying to change the topic. When he's finally able to stop talking about fish, he asks his date if she has a driver's license.
  • Honeybee telling Beef three rules he needs to remember on his date: 1.) Ask her questions about herself, 2.) Listen to her answers, and 3.) "Don't ask for any of my cheesy garlic knots with two different dipping sauces. If you wants that, order it yourself."
    Beef: I always order my own sauce. I'm not a sociopath.

• Judy hyping herself up to finally ask Crispin to the dance fails as she spends the next three hours standing in place and telling herself that she's going to do it.
• Judy is so oblivious to the Crispin's mutual attraction with Ham that she only realizes it after she sees the two kissing.
