* Cecil and Carlos' babysitter got pulled into the Dimension of Eternal Pain... because they chanted Bloody Marry three times in the bathroom mirror. Cecil is wholly unconcerned, just peeved at the babysitter's unreliability and needing to take Esteban with him to the studio.

* Cecil's increasingly acidic displays of PassiveAggressiveKombat against Station Management during the [=StrexCorp=] arc. By the time of episode 44, it reaches the point of frequent [[FreudianSlip Freudian Slips]] and Cecil barely even attempting to veil his threats. It's as [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] as it is hilarious.

* Combined with some FridgeHorror for maximum comic value, the hit-and-run mention of the Federal Government making the City Council take down a monument claiming that Nightvale residents' chanting was responsible for the Allied victory in WorldWarII. [[ArmyOfLawyers A Federal lawsuit]] is implied to bring scary enough consequences to make the Nightvale City Council concede to their demands, which makes you ''really'' wonder how scary the US government is in this setting.
