  • The end of the first episode. Tommy walks into a meeting between the local heads of the Irish and Italian mobs, pulls a knife from his shirt collar, kills the guard, takes his gun and kills heads before anyone can react. And then just walks out, leaving the bodies where they lay.
  • Jenny gets one in "Each One A Savior" when Jimmy cold-cocks her father as he tries to extort money from him, and she chases him down the street, tackles him and delivers a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown until Whitey pulls her off.
  • In the seventh episode, what does Tommy do to the old lady who tricked him into beating down a couple of thugs by telling him they sell drugs, when in fact she's the local drug dealer? He steals her door.
  • Whitey easily outruns the mob thugs who try to capture him, with a voiceover form Joey Ice Cream noting that he had the potential to be an Olympic runner and get out of the neighborhood, but never thought to try out for the track team.
  • The tenants in the building the brothers are hired to evict pelting Kevin with urine-filled balloons can be this for any fans who dislike Kevin, at least until his attempts at doing the same in retaliation lead to a fight where a man is killed.
