* CanadaEh: The thickest Canadian accents you'll ever find, eh?
-->'''Daryl''': You have a dad, but half your friends have a "dee-ad" for some reason.\\
''*cuts to Wayne*''\\
'''Wayne''': Dee-ad! Hey dee-ad!
** Probably the thickest accent is the marble-mouthed [=McMurray=].
** Reilly and Jonesy are a neverending fountain of barely comprehensible hockey slang.

* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Gail has no grasp of appropriate conversation topics or personal boundaries, consistently misses social cues, is prone to angry outbursts with little provocation that are not appropriate for the situation, and has an odd, loping gait.
** Wayne's rigid adherence to his social mores, tendency to only express one emotion and reluctance to embrace change has a lot of fans wondering if he's on the autism spectrum. He even admits in season 10 that change scares him.

* AuthorFilibuster: Wayne's speech in "Kids With Problems" basically it boils down to Wayne telling the kids that kids are spending too much time feeling pressured to live up to astronomical expectations to change the world set by social media instead of actually aspiring to truly live their lives. It puts the story on hold and is pretty clearly a message the writer wants to impart upon the audience.

** The Coach is undeniably being a condescending jerkass when he lectures Betty-Ann and Mary-Ann on why "women can't do everything men can do." However, he is correct in that male and female sports are separate for a reason: male athletes ''are'' much taller, heavier, and stronger than women, and male athletes manage to injure each other all the time. These injuries would be catastrophically worse if they were competing against players who were a foot shorter and almost half their weight.
In season twelve, [[spoiler: Mick is emotionally manipulative and an absolute degen, but he's completely right when he points out that it was their own treatment of Daryl that made him ditch them to hang out with degens.]]
