* CompletelyMissingThePoint: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m19phzWanfE A video]] about ClayAiken's coming out. Finney doesn't react to the news well, wanting his musicians to be sad and depressed and not "gay."

* AbortedArc: "Ask Skippy #13" ends on a cliffhanger of Skippy being arrested. Nothing comes of it and the lack of closure on it has become a RunningGag.

* BadCopIncompetentCop: Oh, yeah.
* BaitAndSwitch: Skippy's review of ''The Trevor and Officer Harry Show'' in "Ask Skippy #17." He says he'll need one word and everyone (including an apparent child audience) assumes he'll say "STUPID!" He instead throws them a curveball and says, "Salamander!"
