** Will and Jack want to move out to a nice suburban neighborhood, but decide against staying in a particular house. The locals are actually thrilled about the idea of having gays live there, as they bring a lot of art and nice coffee shops and the like with them, and when Will and Jack say they want to leave they break the window with a loaf of banana bread with a note that reads, ‘Gays, don’t go home!’ Later on they come over with a marching band playing ‘We Are Family’ as Will and Jack run off.

* ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'': You know how most dogs are Fetch-obsessed and their owners are tired of that? Well, it's the other way around in "Eureka is Not a Brand of Dog food" where Ruff's Owner has "re-discovered the joys of playing Fetch with her dog" and Ruff's NOT enjoying that. She keeps having Ruff fetch balls left and right without giving him a break, especially when he's trying to host his show and it's running him ragged, to the point where Emmie and Shreya's challenge was to build a vehicle for Ruff so he doesn't have to run.



** "[[Recap/SouthParkS3E1RainforestSchmainforest Rainforest Schmainforest]]": The environmental activist demonstrates her ignorance of the rainforest when she takes a group of children into unspoiled territory.
