Season 1

Dead Man's Hand

• When Charlie gets into Natalie's shared iPad, looking for the picture that Natalie took in the cloud, she first comes across a whole lot of dick pics from Jerry.
• Charlie's inability to say the word "locker" even when it's at the tip of her tongue.
• In a very Black Comedy way, the fact that Sterling Jr. didn't even hesitate to jump off the balcony and just walked straight off without breaking stride is rather funny.
• Charlie sends the photo of Kazimir's laptop to Sheriff Parker, hoping he'll do the right thing, but after some thought, adds addresses for the FBI and the CIA... and Oprah.

The Night Shift

• A dark comedic one: Jed takes a lot of time to try and dump Damian's body in the back of Marge's truck. Only for Marge to then re-dump the body in front of the same area where Jed killed Damian in the first place.
• Apparently, the Subway "security camera" is actually a cat plush toy, which stumps Charlie to no end.
• Charlie is unable to remember the animal on the side of the truck whose dash cam filmed Jed the night of the murder, so she attempts to draw it. It just ends up looking like a sausage with stick legs.

The Stall

• George going vegan is a huge deal, because he's the real backbone of his BBQ business. He even gets killed over it. But what inspired him to change and go down this route? Charlie let him see an Okja DVD she had.
• The dog making a racket while Taffy is trying to kill George has several moments:
  • He gets in Charlie's car barking, and won't get out no matter what she does. She decides she could use the company anyway. Cut to her looking miserable while the dog is STILL barking.
  • He turns out to love the radio channel with a racist MAGA conspiracy guy spewing hate speech. It's the only thing that stops the barking, and he slaps Charlie's hand away when she tries to change it. Charlie gets fed up and insults him when he howls in approval.
  • "If you see that fascist dog, tell him he's a real asshole for me."
  • While at the vet, Charlie learns that the dog was assaulted with a piece of wood — the same type of wood used for the meat. Charlie recognizes it and starts to bite into it to make sure, which causes the vet to ask her "what the fuck are you doing?"
• The other guy - a black man - at the radio station with Taffy is a master impressionist. It turns out he's the MAGA conspiracy guy, and a couple other radio voices Charlie can recognize. The reason he's doing all this? He's bored.
• A humorous hitch in Taffy's murder plot comes when he sets up the hose meant to pump carbon monoxide into George's trailer. He puts one end of it through the window and goes to George's car to put the other end into the tailpipe. However, George owns a Leaf, meaning there's no tailpipe to put the hose in.
• As Charlie is explaining to Mandy how she thinks Taffy set up an alibi for the murder, Mandy questions if the radio spot was enough time, and Charlie confirms it saying she tested it. Smash Cut to her running across the field and retracing Taffy's steps.
  Charlie: [Pretending to club the dog] Gah! Fuck you, dog!

Rest In Metal

• Al's "just sing what's in your head" practice singing gets insane when - after having killed Gavin - Charlie spies him singing an off-the-head song called "You Can't Un-Murder Someone".
• Charlie takes her evidence to Scott, the guy who has been asking for drugs in a way that screams "cop". He tells her she makes a pretty convincing case, and she questions if it's enough to take to his boss. He just wonders why she wants to take this stuff to the VP of Nationwide. Yup, it turns out Scott isn't a cop. He's just an actuary who sucks at buying drugs.
• Charlie, while crowdsurfing to avoid Cliff, still lets out a middle finger and a "fuck you" to Ruby while she's performing.
• Doxxxology discovering that their new hit, which they murdered a man for, can't be released because Gavin turns out to have ripped the melody from the theme song for Benson.

Time Of The Monkey

• When Charlie meets FBI agent Luca Clark at Gabriel's funeral, she initially assumes Luca was Gabriel's sugar baby or "sugar nephew" as she calls it.
• Joyce and Irene both tell Charlie in unison that Gabriel had a "dick like a fire hydrant". When Charlie buys a t-shirt of their old band, she agrees with the dick comment when she sees young Gabriel.
• Among Betty's grievances with Joyce and Irene are that they both took extra pieces of cake during a party and Betty got none.
• One of the Fletchers asks the others if an actor on one of their European mystery shows is a Skarsgård, which the other two dismiss. After a brief conversation with Charlie, they do get the name of the actor: Wolfen Skarsgård.
• The Running Gag about Melanie the monkey, in which several people seem to be impressed with her.
• When Charlie confronts the girls with what happened after Betty got killed, she confirms she hasn't told anyone else. Right when it dawns on Charlie what this means, she gets a bedpan across the head to start the fight.
• The fight itself is pretty funny. From Joyce calling Charlie a spoiled millennial (to which she responds that she's a "cusper") to Charlie's screams after getting stabbed in the foot with a knitting needle being mistaken of sounds of sexual pleasure by a next-door neighbor, to Charlie tasering herself (to get the authorities to the women's house) which leaves Joyce and Irene thinking "they broke her".

Exit Stage Death

• One reason Michael hates Kathleen is that she implied he's illiterate in an interview. He even has an entire section on his Wikipedia page dedicated to his "illiteracy."
• During the first performance, Kathleen and Michael criticize one another as they sabotage the stage while still wearing their microphones. This leads to one guest, whose hearing aid is picking up the entire conversation, to ask if they're the "ghost of Pensacola".
• As Charlie watches the mess that is "Ghosts of Pensacola" and refills Ava's wine glass, she walks off completely missing another patron who has her glass out for a refill.
• Rebecca goes to Michael and Kathleen and reveals that she pieced together their plan. Kathleen attempts to shoot down her suspicions, which would have worked if — as Rebecca pointed out — the entire plan hadn't been the plot of an episode of their old show, without even so much as a dialogue change.
• Michael and Kathleen are found out and know they're going down. What's their plan? Continue with the play, turning in a fantastic performance that has even Charlie tearing up by the end.
• Charlie bursting onstage to warn Rebecca that Kathleen is planning to murder her (after trying to get her attention from backstage) and awkwardly covering for it by telling the audience that she's one of the titular "ghosts of Pensacola".

The Orpheus Syndrome

• After seven episodes of Charlie getting onto the scent of foul play by detecting small revealing lies, the show throws a curveball by having Laura look Charlie dead in the eyes and spew a full load of bullshit, giving away everything all at once. This goes with Charlie mentioning earlier that she was hearing so many lies she'd developed a facial tic, making her reaction to Laura's lies even funnier:
  Charlie: Uh, could you repeat what you said before? I think my hearing is going.
  Laura: That I wasn't responsible for Max's death? [Charlie's right eye twitches] And that like Arthur had to let go, I have to do the same. Max's death wasn't my fault. And Arthur's heart problem just caught up with him. Neither were a result of my actions. [Charlie's left eye twitches] I didn't kill them.
  Charlie: [horrified full-face twitch]

Escape from Shit Mountain

• While recounting her hit-and-run incident after regaining consciousness, Charlie segues into a strange anecdote about being in Anaheim Shores Beach Club when she was 8, and briefly goes into an existential crisis when she fears that the only reason this came into her head after being run over was that this was the happiest moment of her life... despite absolutely hating having been there.
• Trey makes a habit of getting food delivered to his place (y'know, the one far out in the mountains) and not tipping his delivery guy. This boils over to the point where the driver leaves the food in the middle of the driveway and giving him that certain salute. What's more is that the bag is just out of reach of Trey's home arrest perimeter, so he has to stretch his whole body past the line to try to get it...and fails, tripping his ankle monitor. Even better is when Trey does manage to get the food inside, it falls through the bag. A moment that will resonate with all the food deliverers watching.
• The penultimate scene, in which Trey, bloodied and beaten, finally makes it back into his house mere moments before his parole officer also arrives. He crows "THAT'S how we do it!" to himself, having gotten away with breaking the terms of the parole, murdering two more people and hiding them where no-one will find them...only to look down and realise he forgot his ankle monitor, which is not on his ankle. Cut to Charlie, dying in the same hole as Trey's other victims, with the ankle monitor coming to life to say it's outside of the designated parole zone as the power cut lifts. Safe to say that Trey is royally screwed.

The Hook

• The episode opens with Cliff slowly going mad over the course of a year as Charlie continuously evades him. And then, after he finally finds her... Sterling Sr. orders that she be given time to recover, and that Cliff has to camp outside the hospital for the next two months to make sure she can't escape again. Cliff is understandably not pleased.
  Cliff: Are you, are you fucking kidding me?! If you think I'm sitting at some shit motel in fucking Denver—!
  [Cut to Cliff lying on a motel bed with a burger]
  Cliff:...Motherfucker.
• When Charlie is finally brought to Sterling Sr. after fourteen months on the run, eventually it comes out that Sr. dropped his vendetta against her a while ago and was only chasing Charlie because she kept moving. Charlie is understandably irritated when she learns this.
• Charlie's method of escaping the hotel: hiding in plain sight with a bunch of drunk bachelorettes in a party bus.
• Despite the implication that the FBI never got the screenshot Charlie sent a couple episodes back, it turns out they did get it after all.
• Emily's daughter Shasta casually saying "a woman is in the backyard". Emily isn't surprised when Charlie shows up through a secret entrance in her house.
• In what is also an awesome moment, Charlie fighting Cliff off by punching him in the eye with a bachelorette party penis ring.
