*** What makes this hit harder is ''why'' Kel was running late: the guy at the store was so senile that it took him forever to get Kel's gift despite Kel's best efforts to get him to hurry. For once letting down Kenan ''wasn't'' his fault.

* The ending of "Mo' Sweater Blues", while the antics they went through during the episode were hilarious, you can't help but feel bad when Kenan cries about ruining both the sweater and his relationship with a girl he climbed the Sears' Tower for beyond repair. Especially considering everything that happened was just an accident.

* In "Merry Christmas, Kenan," Kenan plays MallSanta and meets a single mother with two kids. She sadly tells him that, due to money troubles, she's not going to be able to buy any presents for her children this year. Though it ultimately ends up OK (Kenan sacrifices the money he's saved for himself to buy the kids gifts), it's still a sobering reminder that not everyone can afford to make Christmas wishes come true.
* Meta-Example: "Two Heads Are Better Than None" was Milton Berle's last role before his death in 2002.

* In "Natural Born Kenan", Kenan thinks that he might be adopted and that a second Rockmore couple might be his real parents. Kenan starts dreaming that his family might be royalty or [[ItMakesSenseInContext people from the Antartic]]. But then Kel asks what it would be like if Kevin Rockmore, the one that is the second Rockmores' son ever took his place with the other family. What happens is that Kenan sees his former family loves Kevin, who acts like Marc, only cooler and well behaved, the latter part annoys Kenan the most. The worst part is that the Rockmores have forgotten about Kenan. Even Kel is not immune to this, even misnaming Kenan as Marvin. Kenan looks so upset that he has being abandoned.

** When Kenan informs Chris that he's going to be moving away, Chris runs to the back room, sobbing his eyes out. A few minutes later, Kenan tells Kel the bad news and both start crying and hugging each other. Seconds later, Chris emerges from the back room, still crying and the three hug each other. Yes, it's played for laughs, but it still tugs on the heart strings.
