* CanadaEh: An episode involved Oscar finding out that he lost his Canadian citizenship because he was in the United States on a fishing trip when he turned 24. Brent and Emma then play a prank on him, telling him that he's legally an American and will get deported if anyone finds out, so they get him to act as stereotypically Canadian as possible. This lasts until Emma feels it's gone too far and tells Oscar that all he has to do is fill out a form and wait a few weeks to get his citizenship back.
-->'''Brent:''' You need to start acting more Canadian.\\
'''Emma:''' And don't question authority, that's American. Canadians ''defer'' to authority. And always say you're sorry.\\

'''Brent:''' You don't actually have to ''be'' sorry, just ''say'' you're sorry. It's the Canadian way.\\

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.
