4* Jane's repeated [[StealthHiBye Stealth Hi Byes]] in "Sabado Free-Gante", prompting Penny to ask her if she's a witch. And Jane's shrug in response.

10-->'''Alex''': The man at the flea market ''clearly'' stated it was for taking care of business!

12** "Isn't it odd how our sixsome was basically forged on ''Series/TheRealWorld'' and yet we never talk about it?"

19* "So what you're saying is become a delivery man myself, go to their homes, get paid to have sex and eat free food? Jane you beautiful broomstick, I love it. But here's the rub with that, that basically makes me a prostitute, which means I'm going to fall in love with the game and there's no way my pizzeria manager/pimp is going to let me out of the game. I mean, I'm his top earner. Jane, you dumb lamppost, your plan is garbage."

27** "Dave, [[LeaningOntheFourthWall for a leading-man type, you partake in some really outlandish behavior]]".

31''(Cue opening theme music)''
32** Dave worries over his psychic advisor moving away.

35-->'''Dave''': I know.
36** "You know, that's a pretty good idea coming from a person who thought Sky Mall was an actual mall in the sky."
37** Max arrives to couples' night, even though he's single. He brought [[CloudCuckoolander Scotty]]. Oddly enough, they do pretty well at the game.
38-->'''Scotty''': Okay, our turn! Max's favorite color is red.\
39'''Max''': Hello, Scotty! Nailed it. How'd you know that?\
40'''Scotty''': ''(points at Max)'' Oh, I know everything about you, Max!\
41'''Max''': ''(chuckling)'' What, are you stalking me or something?\
42'''Scotty''': We prefer the term "Obsessive-American".\
43'''Max''': ''(face drops)'' Oh.\
44''(later)''\
45'''Max''': Okay. I'm gonna guess your favorite food... is [[{{Squick}} Dolphin meat]].\

47** Scotty has quite a few scenes in this episode.
48*** Stealing from Brad and Jane's medicine cabinet... while Penny is talking to Brad and Jane about breaking up with Pete.
49*** Trying to read Penny and Pete's lips because he "was deaf in his early 20s".
50--->'''Scotty''': Here's what they're saying...''(as Penny)'' Oh, Scotty is the greatest! You should have bought pills from him! ''(as Pete)'' Yeah, that guy seems pretty cool. What's his deal? He seems like an extra set of plans to bring into our relationship.
51*** Oddly enough, Max seems to approve of Scotty's impersonations.
52* From "The Storm Before the Calm"
53** In a flashback, the look on Max's face when he intrudes on Penny during her "Post-Break-Up Cocooning Process", followed by his present-day summary:
54-->'''Max''': I haven't eaten pancakes since.
55-->'''Dave''': You're eating pancakes now.
56-->'''Max'''': ''(looks down to see he has pancakes on his breakfast plate)'' Oh. Huh. I haven't eaten waffles since.
57-->'''Brad''': Noooope. Eating those too.
58-->'''Max''': ''(Looks down to see he has waffles on a second breakfast plate in front of him)'' Oh. (Grabs a fork) Guys, I've got to get my life together. ''(Takes a bite out of his waffles)''
59-->'''Brad''': ''(chuckles heartedly)'' Heh. Yeah, you do. You're a mess! ''(He and Max fist bump)''
60** Jane noticing what Alex and Max are secretly up to because Alex fails at hiding a book "How to Be a Taste Maker".
61-->'''Alex''': Ugh! You and your ability to read!
62** Dave takes note of Max wearing a new pair of glasses:
63-->'''Dave''': Max, are you seriously wearing glasses with no lenses?
64-->'''Max''': ''(beat)'' Maybe.
65-->'''Dave''': Dude, I've seen you do some really dumb things before, but this... [[BaitAndSwitch is not one of them]]. Those are ''cool''. And this is coming from a man who wore a bandana around his jeans leg in high school, so I know what I speak of. ''(They high five)''
66*** Made all the better by Brad's reaction to Dave's shift in rationality.
67** Brad feeling through Dave's hair one morning.
68-->'''Brad''': This is amazing!
69-->'''Dave''': I know. The guy at the guitar store told me I have the hair of a white Aziz Ansari.
70-->'''Brad''': He is ''not'' wrong.
71-->'''Jane''': ''(walks in)'' Sadly, this is not weird anymore.
72-->'''Brad''': ''(embarrassed)'' Oh, honey! Why aren't you at lunch with Penny?
73-->''(later in the scene, after Jane leaves)''
74-->'''Brad''': ''(feels Dave's hair again)'' Let me dive back into there.
75-->'''Dave''': [[HoYay Get in there!]]
76** "I am not gonna stand by while you guys pray on the gullibility of the public. You are no better than Bernie Madhoff or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking that guy who started Earth Day]]. [[SeriousBusiness I don't know how you guys live with yourselves]].
77** Penny inquires on Brad's theater experiences.
78-->'''Brad''': Well, I mean... haven't really kept up with my acting. Except for memorizing all of Taye Diggs' monologues from ''Series/PrivatePractice''. But that's just to stay sharp!
79** Later, Brad has some insight on acting.
80-->'''Brad''': All right, check it out. In order to ''truly'' inhabit the role of Kleet, I'm going method, and I'm living as if I really am in the 1300s. Fun Fact - I am property.
81** When Penny decides to replace Brad and Dave in the production of her play, she remarks that she'll simply substitute the latter (who was working as a stage hand opening and closing the curtains) with a sandbag.
82-->'''Dave''': Good luck finding a sandbag with a goattee and a heart of honey!
83*** While watching the play, [[BrickJoke Dave later criticizes the opening of the curtains]], remarking that the process should be [[SeriousBusiness "a fluid wave of velvet"]].
84* Jane getting caught off guard by Brooke utilizing the Kerkovitch power of offscreen teleportation.
85* In "Deuce Babylove 2: Electric Babydeuce", when Dave and Penny decide to borrow a baby from one of their friend's to convince their parents not to adopt another child.
86-->'''Dave''': Scare 'em straight. Like that time we took Max to that prison and [[BaitAndSwitch scared all those inmates into getting their lives together]].
87-->'''Penny''': Tough love.
88** Also in that episode, Brad and Jane schooling Alex and Max in a game of tennis... in a slow-motion montage set to Kenny Loggin's 'Playing with the Boys', just like the beach volleyball scene from ''Film/TopGun''.
89* After Dave and Alex sleep together in Season 2, he worries about the consequences:
90-->'''Dave''': What if she wants to get back together, what if I don't, what if she's pregnant, would we raise the baby together, would we raise the baby as a group, group baby is that a thing?
91* The opening brunch scene from "Sabado Free Gante:"
92-->'''Max''': I would like to thank Jane, and congratulate her on another amazing Saturday brunch. You go, girl.
93--> (Takes a bite of food, first SpitTake)
94-->'''Max''': You go to Hell, girl! There's no rosemary sundried chicken apple pesto in that sausage.
95--> (Second bite, second SpitTake)
96-->'''Max''': Those aren't cage free huevos!
97--> (This time, sips orange juice, while giving Jane a DeathGlare and Penny protests, knowing what's coming. Cue third SpitTake, this time with his juice coming out through clenched teeth)
98-->'''Max''': That is not fresh squeezed juice, that is from concentrate. Concentrate!
99-->'''Alex''': I'm trying, but I don't know what you're talking about!
100* In "The Kerkovich Way," Jane, in full-on evil mastermind mode, helps Alex deny that she and Dave had sex by altering Brad's memory so he thinks Alex joined the two of them that night to watch ''Theatre/MammaMia''.
101-->'''Jane:''' We were home, Brad. Yeah! Alex came over, we watched the movie, got in our sweats, ordered Thai food, made some popcorn, and then we all decided to get under the faux chinchilla blanket 'cause you said, "It's chinchilly in heah!"
102-->'''Brad:''' That does sound like me...
103** Jane tells Alex that thanks to the lie, it's like they created an alternate reality. Alex scoffs, claiming that whatever Alex in that reality can't be as good a krumper as she is. Then she demonstrates going into the commercial break, and when we return ''she's still going''.
104** Jane explains to Alex that the women in their family have always been able to do this, going back to "Great-Great-Grandmammy Senka Kerkovich" in the old country. We then get a black-and-white flashback to Pozarevac, Serbia, 1915 (spoken in Serbian).
105--->'''Soldier:''' We are occupying your village on behalf of the Kaiser. Leave or be killed.
106--->'''Senka:''' This is awkward, but you occupied our village last month.
107--->''[The soldier looks skeptical]''
108--->'''Senka:''' Remember? You were very heroic and brave.
109--->'''Soldier:''' That does sound like me...
110* In "Of Mice & Jazz-Kwon-do", Brad tries to set up a date between Max and Brad's gay coworker (who is also StraightGay). Brad means well, but the date crashes and burns before it even got started. Max is slightly offended that Brad tried to pair him up with another man just because they were both gay...and then he comes up with this gem of a line.
111-->'''Max''': You know what you are? You're [[PerfectlyCromulentWord gay-cist]]!
112* Tyler the racist (and homophobic) parrot and his feuds with Brad and Max.
113** Towards the end of the first episode featuring Tyler (there are two), an ESL class is being taught in Alex's story –– a bit of a long story. The following occurs:
114-->'''ESL Instructor:''' ''(pointing to a board with English phrases)'' I would like Italian food.
115-->'''Alex:''' I think this is really helping Tyler out of his racism.
116-->'''Tyler:''' ''Squark!'' All Italians are mafia! ''Squawk!''
117** Alex purchased Tyler because she was lonely. She says she bought him from someone called A-Ryan420, unsure as to why a stoner would be so racist. Jane translates: Aryan, and April 20th is Hitler's birthday.
118** Tyler's [[spoiler: death. Penny and Brad think they caused it by putting him too near to glue fumes when they were repairing one of Alex's plates that he saw them break. They stage an elaborate crime scene to make it look like Tyler fell out of the window. As it turns out, Alex accidentally killed him because she let him drink alcohol from a Mexican restaurant he loved.]]
119--> '''Alex:''' He hated Mexicans – loved their food.
120* "Makin' Changes":
121** Penny comes back from another wildly unsuccessful date, so Jane gives her a little friendly advice: "I'm gonna say this because I'm one of your best friends, and I don't want to overstep, but... every choice you make in your life about everything is monumentally wrong."
122** Jane tells her that instead of trying to change herself for men, she should change a man for her, and suggests Jeff, an acquaintance who's a hockey-obsessed "bro" type. Penny is skeptical but goes out with him, and reports back, "Actually, we had a fun time. He's really nice, he's got a good job, but there are so many more dealbreakers than we thought. He's thirty going on twenty. And he still says 'sick' and 'dog,' and sadly never when referring to a sick dog."
123** Jane encourages her to keep trying to change Jeff, so Penny continues seeing him. On one date she very blatantly spills coffee all over his hockey jersey.
124-->'''Penny:''' Oh, dammit, I think I have a napkin in my purse. ''[Digs around in her purse]'' Ugh, I don’t have a napkin but I do have a Steven Alan reverse-seam dress shirt. ''[Pulls out a shirt]''
125-->'''Jeff:''' Oh. Why do you have that?
126-->'''Penny:''' You don’t like it? Because I also have it in gunmetal gray! ''[Pulls out another shirt]''
127-->'''Jeff:''' That's actually pretty sick.
128-->'''Penny:''' Pretty ''great''.
129-->'''Jeff:''' Yeah, dog, sick!
130-->'''Penny:''' Great!
131-->'''Jeff:''' Sick!
132-->'''Penny:''' Okay, just wear the shirt.
133** Later she drags him to a high-end furniture store, hoping to get him to get rid of his futon.
134-->'''Jeff:''' Why are we here?
135-->'''Penny:''' Uh, I could have sworn this was an all-you-can-eat wings place. Ugh, gentrification! But I guess, you know, if we're here, we could take a look around. Oopsie, golly-me, fall on mattress!
136-->''[She "accidentally" falls on a bed and pulls him down with her.]''
137-->'''Penny:''' Luckily, this plush-top memory foam sleep number forty-five broke our fall!
138** Meanwhile Max and Alex see Dave come home wearing a different V-neck shirt than he left in two hours before.
139-->'''Max:''' Oh my God, Alex, you understand what's happening here, right?
140-->'''Alex:''' Yes. Maybe. Let's say it at the same time.
141-->'''Max:''' Why would we say it at the same time if you understand what I'm talking about?
142-->'''Alex:''' I gotchu, come on.
143-->'''Max:''' Dave is clearly addicted to V-necks.
144-->'''Alex:''' ''[NOT at the same time]'' ...addicted to V-necks, yes! Wait, what, that's crazy!
145** They decide to confront Dave about it.
146-->'''Max:''' David, you have a problem. How many V-neck t-shirts have you worn this weekend?
147-->'''Dave:''' I don't know, what's a baker's dozen?
148-->'''Alex:''' Eleven.
149-->'''Max:''' Thirteen. Huh?
