* GambitPileup: In "Making a Stand", George Sr. attempts to carry out a illegal deal with a Columbian cartel by using GOB to unwittingly launder the money and distracting Michael by playing him against GOB. In response, Michael makes a plan to convince his father that the cartel have kidnapped him after Michael caught on and called the deal off to teach him a lesson. However, after GOB tells George Sr. the full details of the plan less than a minute into its setup, George Sr. plants his go-to scare tactic amputee J. Walter Weatherman in the group to give him a means to teach ''them'' a lesson about teaching their father a lesson. After finding out that GOB ruined their scheme, Michael gets into a fight with him which spills onto the balcony, where Michael falls over the railing. Once George Sr. runs out to the balcony in shock, Michael comes up from his hiding place behind the railing to teach George Sr. the lesson about pitting GOB and him against each other that they had originally planned... at which point the police, investigating the commotion upstairs, break in and shoot Buster's hand off- his fake hand, which he had been passing off as his good hand by concealing his real hand under his hook all along, teaching them ''all'' the lesson he'd been trying to teach the entire episode about using amputees to scare people.

* PhotoMontage: Done twice, first to show the competition between Micheal and Gob's frozen banana stands, and again when they reconstruct the wrecked banana stand as a jungle hut for their staged kidnapping scheme. The narrator sarcastically points out that they're only resorting to montages to move the story along quickly, as the events were boring no matter what musical accompaniment they put behind it (except "Yellow Submarine", but the narrator says that would cost too much to license).
