* Gareth is given a dossier on Laurel, alleging that she had an affair with Creator/MichaelMoore. While in the bathroom, Gareth fantasizes Michael Moore doing cunnilingus on Laurel while he's fully clothed. Then Moore looks up at the camera and smirks. Gareth promptly retches.
** It's funnier when this is brought up in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNUNur6KwtA the recap song]] for the next episode, where the music abruptly stops, changes to soft porno guitar, and does cutaways to a [[EroticEating a banana being peeled]] and [[SomethingElseAlsoRises a geyser erupting]]:

* Luke Healy stages a senatorial coup by pulling together the absolute minimum number of senators needed for the vote to re-open the government.

* Gustav and Rochelle are sitting in on the impromptu hearing that Luke has called in light of Laurel being taken in for "enhanced interrogation techniques". Knowing how the bugs communicate on a high frequency, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2WpAjDmezc Gustav uses his scanner just as Wheatus is calling a vote.]] HilarityEnsues, from several Senators raising both hands at once while Wheatus is trying to a handcount, Wheatus himself suddenly raising both of his hands and his right hand struggling to lower his left arm, to some Senators just getting up for no reason and walking head-on into walls.

-->'''Moore:''' ''Oh yeah. Baby I wanna turn your swing state allllllllllll blue. Oh yeah. Treat me like [[TakeThat Flint, Michigan]].''

* Gustav's "knowing how to be black" when confronted by Police Officers.
* Red invites Luke into his office planning to kill him as he's done twice before. But then Luke gets a call, turns his back on Red who gets comically frusterated at Luke moving around too much for him to shoot.
* The intro to the final episode where we finally see the singing narrator and his guitar, made funnier when Gustav shos him away. Then at the end of the episode he's narrating everyone's epilogues, this time everyone being oblivious to his presence.

* In episode 11, Luke is being vetted for the CIA Director post. This involves a lot of background checks and scrutiny for any skeletons in his closet. The interviewers at one point interview Laurel when Gustav accidentally crashes it to give her news. To explain the stuff about the "infections," for the next interview, she dresses more flamboyantly, sports "Hollywood"-ish sunglasses, and shows them her issues ad from the last episode, providing a hilarious explanation - that her usage of the words "infection" and "bugs" is as metaphors.

** Taken to new heights in the episode 11 PreviouslyOn, in which the narrator, incredibly stressed by the events of last week's episode, decides to take a break and recap an episode of ''Series/{{Gunsmoke}}'' instead, complete with accompanying footage.

* In episode 4, a man and woman who live in apartments next to each other get their brains eaten. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svr0jwYJ4RM The next morning]], they're both on different ends of the political spectrum (the woman leans heavily conservative, the man heavily liberal) and they go onto message boards and start a flame war by hitting the caps lock key and making poorly-reasoned arguments. Immediately after, they start crashing their cars into each other, provoked by the fact that the man is playing a parody of NPR, the woman is playing a conservative radio station, both at full blast.

* Each of the PreviouslyOn songs, what with their occasional indulgence in self-deprecation and dry humor.

* [[spoiler: Laurel]] gets bugs on [[spoiler: her]] brain, leading to the realization that, since the bugs tunnel in through the left ear, they can be driven out through stimulating the right brain (pleasure, food, motor skills, memory of songs, etc.). After nothing they do works, [[spoiler: Gareth shows up to check on Laurel. She, Gustav, and Rochelle proceed to cure Laurel by having her seduce Gareth by singing "[[Series/ThePartridgeFamily I Think I Love You]]", which results in a... ahem, "[[UnusualEuphemism spike of dopamine]]" driving the bugs out.]]
