* Like Uncle Howee before her, Mrs. Worthington (of the episode of the same name) has a few great one-liners when she's not being horrifically sadistic. After Nate reacts with shock when she puts eyeballs in Molly's dinner, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she thanks him]]. Later, she cheerfully calls out "Is your mother a blond or a brunette?" while blithely knitting a voodoo doll to torture the woman.

[[WMG: The series:]]

* "A Creature Was Stirring": The end where the Krampus turns out to be [[spoiler:a Christmas present brought by an SUV-limo riding Santa Claus]].
* "Poof de Fromage": Just the thought of [[spoiler:alien leeches posing as cheese curls]] is one of those things that's funny because of how Jean-Louis (the alien posing as a French exchange student) takes it seriously.
** The AnswerCut when Bobby asks what happened to the real Jean-Louis (since the boy known as "Jean-Louis" staying over his house is an alien posing as a human boy): [[spoiler:The real Jean-Louis is tied up, stripped of his clothes, and left in the unclaimed baggage area at the airport]].
