* During recon for Oasis Hookah Bar, Jon sees that the bar is practically a biohazard, as everything from the furniture to the consumables weren't kept up to standard. After one of his spies pukes, they cut to the owner and his supervisor who are playing a game of Connect Four in his office, prompting Jon to unleash this moment of Narm:
-->'''Jon:''' We got a bar that's so disgusting people are puking all over the damn place! And they're sitting in the office playing fucking GAMES!\\

* James' antics throughout the Cashmere episode, which included walking in the ''women's restroom'', ripping off his shirt while [=DJing=], sitting on the bar top itself and pretty much acting like a tool to everyone he interacts with. All while saying [[CatchPhrase "All in!"]].

* The "[[InformedAttribute chef]]" from Fairways Golf and Grill provided plenty of [[ComedicSociopathy schadenfreude]] as he struggled, and failed, to prepare even the most basic food properly, and failed to demonstrate any knowledge of how to run a kitchen. What made it funny was that [[ConsummateLiar he stuck solidly to his claims of his culinary qualifications,]] even as it became obvious that ''he couldn't even make a burger properly.''

** However, towards the end of the episode, he starts looking more like a JerkassWoobie, after he's fired and his sous-chef James is promoted to (and ultimately shines in) his former position. Not only has he been psychologically broken from being exposed as an incompetent liar, but his best friend has (understandably) turned against him and he's unemployed. After being fired, he rides off on his moped, with a comical "beep-beep" noise dubbed in. TheStinger tells us that, six weeks after the rescue, Kevin is ''still'' constantly calling, looking to get his job back.

* After remodelling The Artful Dodger/Radio, Jon introduces P's & Q's Autobody [[note]] Jon's theme was an old fashioned speakeasy disguised as an autobody shop [[/note]].
--> The fact is, you weren't very good at running a bar so I built you an autobody shop.

* At the Crossroads Grille (which is not yet the Gaddy Shack), the surviving bartenders and servers appear to be crushing on Derrick Turner (the episode's mixologist). One of them is comparing his shaking motions (the preparation of the cocktail) to dancing the samba. Poor guy is blushing the whole time!

* Mia Mastroianni is working on the Country Nights bartenders. She whips out the "drunk goggles," which are meant to simulate an ImpairmentShot, and utter lunacy ensues. (Did you really expect them ''not'' to screw up?)

* After being taken to task for her bartenders' inability to consistently make Perfect Manhattans, Season 4's Sissy [[AskAStupidQuestion actually asks Jon if he has any experience in the bar business]]. This goes down as well as you might expect; Jon frowns at her in disbelief, expert Phil looks like he's about to burst into incredulous laughter, and then Jon smugly tells Sissy that he's not going to dignify her question with an answer.

** During the 18 and over stress test, one of the underage girls drinking sees the cameraman filming her and chases him down the street ''in heels''. The kicker is, the cameraman clearly saw her as no threat as he continues to film her as he's running away.

* In the episode featuring Rhythm & Brews, Josh saunters into the kitchen, makes a whole ass pizza from scratch (hamming it up as he does), then leaves the establishment with it, taking the pizza dish as well. Not a single staff member bothered to do something about it.

* In "Pat's Cocktails", Taffer tests the owner during recon by having the bartender give out free drinks and sees if he will pick up on it. What ensues are comically extreme levels of RefugeInAudacity. The bartender pours nearly 70 drinks, 20 of which were while he was right next to her and looking right at them and not getting the obvious hint. Even when they all ''thank him'' for the free drinks, he's still oblivious.
