1* In the episode "The Sinner", the young pastor Matthew Fordwick is staying with the family, and he's a ridiculously zealous preacher who scares the family with his fearful sermons. Arguably the overall funniest part is when the newcomer reverend goes with Zeb to a "harmless" sit in with the Baldwin sisters, not knowing that their "recipe" is whiskey! And then he becomes drunk, of course, and goes to his first sermon!
2--> '''Rev. Fordwick''': Ladiesh 'n gentlemen, I wanna thank-*topples over and lands on his back, passed out*
3** As well as this line:
4---> '''Rev. Fordwick''': What do you think of my sermon?
5---> '''Jim-Bob''': Scary.
6** In the same episode, Jason is sitting at the piano playing "Camptown Races." Grandma Esther comes in and doesn't say a word, but instead gives him a DeathGlare, which he doesn't notice for about a minute until he finally looks up. At this, [[OhCrap he panics]] and quickly begins playing a hymn called "The Old Rugged Cross."
7 * Jason gets a job as a local stage musician for a country band in Season 3 and is told by the singer that he'd be paid $3 per performance (roughly $70 in 2024). Jason loudly exclaims the amount in joy, which the singer takes as him not liking the amount. He raises the fee to $3.50 but advises him not to haggle on stage anymore, as it's unprofessional.
8* At the end of the Season 4 episode "The Secret," Jim-Bob is asked to say grace. Fully half of the length of the prayer is him talking about what kind of plane he saw that afternoon.
