** Also the speech about people who obsess about something awful from the past and turn it into their lives, slamming not just the family, but the whole AccentuateTheNegative fixation of Critic, the site and the fandom who craves that.

* And then there's Rebecca's successful attempt at getting Donnie completely on her side.
-->'''Megan Fox!Rebecca''': Oh sure, I may like fixing cars in the rainy mudpits of the California Spring Break, but there's more to me than that. My father always wanted a boy, but he died while on a mission in North Korea. Since then, I decided to dedicate my life to avenging his death. I may act like a tomboy, but I'm also a woman, with feelings and longing and regret. I'm more than just a object, I'm a human being."

* When Donnie accidentally slut shames Rebecca in an argument and brings up her love scene in ''Titanic'', she goes all out and explains that she was reasserting her sexuality on her own terms. Good response anyway, but with everything we find out later about her issues? YouGoGirl.

*** Hell, even the beginning is both hilarious and awesome, where he gives a SarcasmMode confession about how hard it is to act after a ''parent commits suicide'', awesomely giving a {{Deconstruction}} of the shallowness of AccentuateTheNegative. The family [[SelectiveObliviousness loudly brushes it off]] as him being funny, but in the process he makes a rather valid point to keep in mind.

** The beginning of the scene is particularly badass. The family rushes in after realizing they forgot to dope Donnie, only to find his bed missing. Then Donnie slowly shuts the door and rattles off the final line in a way that makes talking about a muscle relaxer come off as a PreAsskickingOneLiner

* Between the epic beatdown [[spoiler:Rebecca, Donnie and Carl give the SWAG agent in succession]], Donnie's epic rant about clinging to hard to past badness, and Tacoma's writing of the above, dam near the entire episode is a CMOA.

Typo. And actually, the film parodies \'\'A Patch Of Blue\'\'.


* In an effort to save Donnie from dwelling on his past for too long, Tacoma and Rebecca decide to use the Demo Reel name to [[spoiler:make a sequel to Blue Patches, the film Donnie late mother starred in, before he comes back. ... but this time, they take it seriously! This results in a full 4 to 5 minutes of the episode spent on a story that would be great for an Oscar nomination, with no parodies, and no comedy! For the first time, Demo Reel makes something ''good!'']] Doubles as a Heartwarming entry.
