* Our introduction to Oda Mae, claiming that she can help a Hispanic woman contact her dead husband. After rattling off about dozen well-known Hispanic names, Oda Mae visibly rolls her eyes and finally says "Maria?" The woman enthusiastically agrees and Oda Mae joyously claims to have made contact with him. Somehow, the fact that "Maria" is an ''extremely'' common name in the Latino community and that anyone could have guessed that he knew someone by that name completely escapes her.

* When Sam is dealing with Willy when he's looking for Oda Mae, he turns on the hot faucet to create steam, and writes a single word in the steam in the mirror - "Boo". Simultaneously really funny for how cliched and childish doing something like that is, but nonetheless it's also effective for how incredibly creepy something like that would be in real life.
