* TheAllegedCar: The vintage car Hank and Brent buy.buy is covered in rust and missing the driver's side door and the engine.
-->'''Old Man Wilkie:''' She's a beauty of a car, ain't she?\\
'''Brent:''' I feel like you're playing a little fast and loose with the word "beauty." And "car."
*{{Bookends}}: In the cold open, Lacey walks past Zeke, who's wearing a clown costume, then she turns around and remarks "That's weird." Zeke explains that he's on his way to a children's party, but [[BaitAndSwitch Lacey says she was talking about the lightning bolt graffiti behind him.]] In the tag, Lacey walks past a man wearing a clown costume and says "Hi, Zeke," but he menacingly responds that he's not Zeke. Lacey worriedly says "Okay then," only to get distracted by Brent spray painting the same lightning bolt on the wall, which is actually just a mark to tell an electrician where to put a new outlet.
*ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Oscar goes to Old Man Wilkie to see why he hates the guy, Wilkie points out that he wasn't always Old Man Wilkie. Oscar thinks he means he used to be Old Lady Wilkie. Wilkie corrects that he used to be a young man and Oscar actually hated his father.
*DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Once Oscar realizes the current Old Man Wilkie is not the same Old Man Wilkie he used to hate, Oscar calls the original Old Older Man Wilkie Senior.
*DescriptionCut: Davis doesn't think graffiti is so bad, citing that Karen tags stuff all the time. A cut to the police station shows that Karen's "tagging" is just her writing her name on her yogurt cup so that Davis doesn't eat it. When the scene cuts back, Davis says he'll start investigating Lacey's graffiti once he's done eating, then pulls out Karen's yogurt.
*FantasySequence: Hank imagines himself driving the fixed-up car with a female passenger swooning over his mechanic skills. Brent joins the fantasy, driving up in a completely different car, with his own female passenger swooning over his financial prowess for buying the car cheap and flipping it for profit. When Hank points out that Brent is imagining the wrong car, Brent changes it to the right car, but now both women are in his front seat and he drives away, leaving Hank alone.

* ShoutOut: The episode title references ''Film/AmericanGraffiti''. [[WordOfGod Brent Butt himself has admitted]] that it might be the [[PunBasedTitle cringiest pun he's ever made]].
to:
*HashtagForLaughs: Two hipsters show up to look at Emma's mural because they love to make fun of stuff by saying hashtags out loud, such as [=#SoBadItsStillBad=] and [=#WallVomit=] to describe Emma's mural and [=#PoorlyConstructedMidlifeCrisis=] for Hank's "refurbished" car. One also finishes a string of insults with #Blessed.
*IfIDoNotReturn: As Wanda charges towards the police cruiser to get back at Davis for having her car towed, he looks in the dashboard camera and says "If I don't survive, tell my wife and kids this is why they don't exist!"
*InnerThoughtsOutsiderPuzzlement: While Brent and Hank are imagining themselves in their fixed up cars, Oscar just sees them with their eyes closed and making engine noises.
*{{Irony}}: Karen can't get ready for her Bravery of the Year Award because she's too afraid of the feral cat that got into her house. [[LampshadeHanging Wanda suggests they take a moment to revel in the irony of the situation.]]
*LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
**Hanks assures Brent that he'll have the old car [[HardWorkMontage "fixed up in a montage."]]
--->'''Brent:''' In a what?\\
'''Hank:''' In a minute. What'd you think I said?
**Later, Oscar bangs on the garage window and tells Hank to "wrap up this montage."
--->'''Hank:''' What?\\
'''Oscar:''' I said "Clean up this garage!"
*LopsidedDichotomy: Davis calls the initial graffiti the work of either trained professionals or kids at recess.
*MistakenForJunkie:
**During a struggle with the feral cat, Wanda gets hit with a TranquilizerDart, causing her to slur her words in subsequent scenes. The newspaper article at the end, which mistakes Karen and Wanda trying to smoke the cat out for an actual fire, labels Wanda as the drug-addled suspect.
**Then there's this exchange, which happens when Wanda still has trouble talking straight:
--->'''Wanda:''' When I worked for the animal rescue, we once smoked some skunk.\\
'''Karen:''' You know I'm a cop, right?\\
'''Wanda:''' ''Smoked out'' some skunks from under a shed.
*{{Portmanteau}}: Her initial confrontation with the stray cat causes Wanda to call it some kind of hybrid cougar-wolverine, prompting her and Karen to speculate what that would be called.
-->'''Karen:''' A cougarine?\\
'''Wanda:''' A wougar.\\
'''Karen:''' How about a wolvercoug?
* ShoutOut:
**The episode title references ''Film/AmericanGraffiti''. [[WordOfGod Brent Butt himself has admitted]] that it might be the [[PunBasedTitle cringiest pun he's ever
**Brent tells Hank [[Music/LadyGaga "Nice poker face, Gaga!"]] when he finds out that Hank's excitement over buying Old Man Wilkie's car drove up the price.
**Upon discovering the car doesn't have an engine, Brent says that they can't just drive it like WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones because [[ThisIsReality they're not a couple of cartoons.]]
**Karen calls Wanda Creator/DrSeuss when she starts mumbling incoherently due to the cat tranquilizer.
*SpinningNewspaper: Used twice. The first newspaper shows an article lauding Karen for saving a child who fell down a well, with a smaller article explicitly pointing out that Davis didn't help [[DoubleMeaning (He thought the "kid" was a baby goat)]]. The second newspaper has an article showing that Davis took the Bravery of the Year Award from Karen for saving a cat from a housefire, which was actually Karen and Wanda trying to smoke the feral cat out of Karen's house.
*SpitShine: Lacey and Davis both try licking their thumb and rubbing off the graffiti.
*TemptingFate: Upon getting the old car to the highway, Hank says that "it's all downhill from here," meaning that they only need to move the car downhill to get it to his garage. But the car ends up rolling downhill by itself, causing Davis to freak out, thinking it's driven by a ghost, and he pushes the runaway car into a ditch with the police cruiser. So things both literally and figuratively went downhill for Hank and Brent.
*TerribleArtist: Emma's artwork hasn't improved much since [[Recap/CornerGasS2E07HeroSandwich she tried to design Wanda's tattoo]], with her mural only attracting attention from people who love making fun of how bad it is. Her idea for a second mural at the police station, a "post-industrial take on criminal reform and '60s jazz" with some leprechauns thrown in for diversity, doesn't sound any better.
*UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: When Hank and Brent check under the hood of Old Man Wilkie's car, they spook the feral cat that was hiding inside, which then goes looking for shelter in Karen's house and terrorizes her for the rest of the episode.
