1* One episode features the popular kids, Colby and Bree, inviting Tino and Tish to a costume party. Tino and Tish feel guilty that Carver and Lor haven't been invited, and spend most of the episode covering it up, and in the end they show up to the party in terrible, hand-made costumes. This turns out it the whole thing was a prank from Cody and Bree, and when Bree deadpans, "I told you they'd fall for the costume thing." everyone laughs. Lor, who had actually been invited to the real party along with Carver, says, "You two thinks you're so cool. But you're just...pathetic." and slams the door in their face.
2* Tino's mom calling out Carver for avoiding Lor because he couldn't confront her on her feelings for him (a misunderstanding on Tino and Carver's part). She even threatened to call the cops on him. What really sells it is Tino accepting what his mom said, convincing Carver to talk with Lor, instead of trying to evade of the problem.
3* Ms. Tonitini, Tino's mom, in general. She gives great advice to her son and his friends, and gives off a realistic portrayal of a parent who is '''really''' easy to talk to, without fear of meeting disapproval or feeling like she's trying to force her opinions on you. [[GoodParents Parent of the year, ladies and gentlemen]].

6** In show, her calling her ex-husband out (gently) on [[ParentsAsPeople not realizing that Tino just wants to spend time with him, not spend every second "entertained"]]. It doesn't quite work but props for trying.
7** In Tino's flashback portion of the holiday special, when a joke she makes about calling her ex-husband up and yelling at him [[DudeNotFunny just upsets Tino]], she immediately apologizes and says that her issues with the man shouldn't be his and that it was wrong of her to make the joke in the first place.
8* These words from "Cool Kid" Carver to "geeks" Lor, Tish, and Tino: '''Those geeks are my friends!'''
