* WithFriendsLikeThese: Sad Larry's "friends" are a textbook example of how 'not' to help a depressed person. If their "methods" of cheering up Larry don't work right away, they get angry and leave Larry to stay sad. Not even his guilt for getting his father into a fatal car crash stops his friend's family from kicking him out when he says no to... 'something.'

* BaitAndSwitch: "Who Is Mothman?" focuses on a news reporter interviewing "[[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob billionaire entomologist]] [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Morton Mothson]]" about the identity of the superhero Mothman. His entire house is decorated with moth symbols, his hair looks like moth antennae, and he has a Mothmobile in his garage and an underground cave system beneath his mansion.
