* HollywoodBoardGames: Emma challenges Hank to a game of pool to recover the money Oscar, her husband, gave to him. {{Manchild}} Hank brags about being great at it and... he's right! He keeps winning round after round. However, Emma is a persistent, patient woman (explained by her old age), so she doesn't give up and manages to bore the much younger Hank with her constant "BestOutOfInfinity" requests. As a result, he just hands her the money so he can go and do something else.

* KavorkaMan: To Lacey's confusion, every woman in Dog River lusts after Brent, who is considered to be so hot that he's unattainable. Lacey ends up theorizing that when stacked up against the average schlub in Dog River, "overweight, bald gas station owner" ends up looking like an Adonis in comparison. The other women all pretend to agree with her theory, but as soon as she leaves, they dismiss it as a load of crap that she just made up to feel better about not being able to have Brent.
