- "Please Don't Destroy: We Got Her A Cat"

Tropes:
- The Cameo: Kravitz's The Batman (2022) costar Paul Dano appears briefly in the Please Don't Destroy sketch to call the writers "three guys who suck".
- Profiling: Parodied in "Amazon Go", which spoofs the titular cashierless convenience store chain where payment is automatic and customers can just take what they want and leave. The white customers are all amazed by the technology, while the black customers — used to being profiled as shoplifters — are all incredibly suspicious.Alexa! Search "amazon go store black man trap"!
- Really Gets Around: Tonya, the bride in "Maid of Honor", has slept with most of the cast of Jackass and apparently also Suge Knight.
- Teacher/Student Romance: Sarah, the titular "Maid of Honor", got with her maths student.
