* TearJerker: The episode with Todd's brother. Seeing how much he cares about Todd is both this and a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}. The biggest TearJerker moment in the episode is when Todd's brother talks about how twisted their mother has made Todd and tells the Game A Vision staff to be kind to Todd. It's an even bigger TearJerker in that you know it will only get worse.
* ValuesDissonance: ....Let's just say a ''lot'' of the show's humor would ''not'' fly today.

worse, as Dave admits.
* ValuesDissonance: ....Let's just say a ValuesDissonance: The show mostly takes jabs at race, gender, mentality and sexual preference. A ''lot'' of the show's humor would ''not'' fly today.

* HilariousInHindsight: Todd's character. He is overweight, is sexually depraved enough to do things to dolls, was revealed by his brother to have a form of Autism, and the final episode had him attempting (and failing) to pitch a ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' {{Expy}}. It's like they took [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Chris-Chan's]] life and put it on the screen.

** There's also Dean: his dad's a [[CloudCuckoolander crazed]] [[TheBluebeard wife-murdering]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive businessman]] who uses him on a regular basis to help him cover up their illegal activities, and whose retarded state is from years of constant head trauma. That said, he's done plenty of jerky stuff on his own, most notably when he took command of the company (after shooting his dad in the face) and brought in his equally dumb and cruel fratbros to help him run the place (though Clare was the real brains behind that).

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: In-Universe example: In the episode "The Story of 420", First Lady [[DrugsAreBad Nancy]] [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]] forces Game-A-Vision to put warning labels on all of their games stating "Playing this game increases the likelihood that you will engage in drug use and deviant sex". While Larrity objects at first, he's then extremely happy as [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity the labels cause their game sales to skyrocket]] to the point where Reagan then has to ban them from having the labels on their games.

* HarsherInHindsight: One episode had Larrity rejecting [[VideoGame/{{Oddworld}} Lorne Lanning's]] pitch as part of a ItWillNeverCatchOn running gag. After the poor sales of ''Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath,'' the Oddworld franchise pretty much fell into obscurity, with its only hope as a franchise being HD remakes of the original games with the help of an indie studio, Just Add Water.
