* AudienceAlienatingEnding: [[spoiler:The show itself has gained an amount of infamy for its DramaBombFinale. If you mention ''Dinosaurs'' to those who saw it or have at least heard of it in passing, chances are the [[EveryoneDiesEnding dark and depressing series finale]] is the one big thing they will remember or know about it.]]

* BrokenAesop: "Earl's Big Jackpot" has Earl get injured after Mr. Richfield made him work unpaid overtime in the dark of night and fired after he asks for some paid leave. This results in Earl reluctantly suing Richfield and getting $800 million dollars in damages. The story then turns against Earl as his court victory is the result of the jury being petty and biased against rich people. Earl is portrayed as being incompetent and increasingly selfish with his newfound wealth, and Richfield fires all his employees and raises his prices sky high to recoup his losses. The overall moral of the episode is seemingly that suing your corrupt, abusive boss and getting a big payday from it is wrong and only hurts everyone else.

** In the episode "And the Winner Is..." Earl has a nightmare where the world ends as a result of him being elected as Chief Elder. [[spoiler:In the GrandFinale, Earl causes the end of the world (albeit inadvertently).]]
** "The Last Temptation of Ethyl" deals with her temporary {{Near Death Experience}}s in "The Afterlife." [[spoiler:After the GrandFinale, it's safe to say that she and everyone else have gone there for good. Even worse, during her second near death experience in "Last Temptation," her husband Louie's spirit assures her that she'll be [[TogetherInDeath with him forever]] "soon enough." It ends up being sooner than anyone expected.]]
** Any episode with the FramingDevice of future paleontologists finding the Sinclairs' stuff and (wrongly) guessing what happened becomes this after [[spoiler: you guessed it, that ending. Now you know why their stuff was all found in the same places where it was used in the show's present day - this world died both suddenly and soon!]]
** At the end of "And the Winner Is..." Baby is officially ''named'' [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep Baby Sinclair.]] The name is all too fitting, since [[spoiler: as of the GrandFinale, he's not going to live past infancy.]]
