    Driving Miss Hazy 
  • At the end of the episode, Lori helps Leni practice for her next driving test. The camera reveals that Leni has driven Vanzilla into a pool, as she thinks it's the carpool lane.
  • Apparently the last time Leni learned to drive, she crashed Vanzilla in what she calls the Fire Hydrant Paperboy Nun Incident. Only the aftermath (which involves a fire hydrant spraying water and a nun on top of the spray, while a paperboy is in a nearby tree) is shown, and she's seen wondering if she has to leave a note while Lynn Sr. is sobbing under the airbag.
  • Lincoln bumps into Leni in the hallway, who is carrying tons of wood and nails. Turns out she was trying to make Lori's bed.
  • The "WAIT!" running gag, where Leni refuses to begin her driving training until she has a certain thing she feels she needs. It's particularly funny due to the way she squeaks the word every time.
  • Lincoln teaching Leni how to drive using a video game. She crashes three times because they're not going anywhere fun. Lincoln says they're going to the mall and she becomes more competent, until the car in front of her is moving too slow so she decides to pass it by driving on the wall. Her character runs out of the car and attacks an old lady.
    • The reactions of Leni's game avatar every time she crashes are a nice touch.
  • When she's about to take her 13th test, she walks out of the house with Lincoln cheering her on. He stops and tells her the bus stop is in the other direction.
  • The cop explaining to Lincoln that Leni apparently broke several driving rules and hijacked the test vehicle to the mall before beating up Mrs. Jelinsky.
  • The girls all trying to teach Leni by "speaking Leni" (in other words, using terms Valley Girls understand like fashion lingo), while modifying their makeshift car.
    • Right as Lincoln realizes that they aren't "speaking Leni," Leni thinks that there's a country named after her. She's not entirely wrong- there's a comune in Italy named Comune di Leni.
  • Lincoln forcing the truth out of Lori about her attempted sabotage of Leni by threatening to shrink her "favorite Bobby sweater" (the name she has for a sweater Bobby gave her), which she immediately puts on.
  • Lynn being forced to give Lori pedicures, using a sanding tool.
  • Lucy being forced to write poems about Bobby for Lori, which proves too much as she can't find enough rhymes for "babe".
  • Lana fishing Lori's retainer out of the trash, simply as an excuse to dig through it.
  • Lily "assists" Lincoln in teaching Leni by dressing up as a squirrel.
    Lincoln: There's a squirrel on the road. What do you do?
    Lily: (imitates squirrel noises)
    Leni: (bolts out of the room screaming with her chair and sash still stuck on her)
  • Lori stating that Leni can't even drive a lawnmower. Complete with a flashback of Leni screaming hysterically as she crashes the lawnmower through several hedges.
  • Leni proudly displaying her driving skill by spelling her name in the grass with the mower. Unfortunately, she spells it "Elni".
  • It's revealed that Bobby once left brownies in Lori's locker, and she mistook him for a stalker.

    No Guts, No Glori 
  • When Lori orders the girls to clean up the house, they finish just before Mom and Dad enter the house and see Lincoln and Lori playing a video game. Dad walks away and screams about his dented golf club. Lincoln and Lori look at each other nervously.
  • When Lincoln is about to enjoy Friday night, he and the girls smell Mom's perfume indicating the parents are out on a date. Even funnier, the calendar shows it's Friday the 13th.
  • Lori throwing Lola off their scent with glitter (so that she'd get distracted by it).
  • Lori queuing Luna for a little "cleanup music", to which she happily obliges.
  • Lori having undone her own binds and simply texting as usual when Lincoln finally turns up to beg for her help.
  • Lincoln shielding himself from the food his sisters throw his way, resulting in a very nice splatter painting he stops to admire.
  • Lori orders the pets to sit. Charles, Cliff, and Geo obey, Walt tries but just falls over.
    • Even funnier, she's not technically ordering them to sit, she's just saying that she wants everyone to obey "even if you're covered in fur and can only understand the word 'sit'!", which they take as an order to sit.
  • Lori's maniacal cackling when she gets carried to her room.
    "YOU WOULDN'T LAST FIVE MINUTES! AHAHAHAHA!"
    • Even funnier? She turns out to be absolutely right.
  • Luan chasing Leni with a fake spider toy as a prank.
  • "Lincoln couldn't lead Cliff to the litter box."
    • Lori finally getting Cliff to use his box just by giving him a Death Glare.
    • When he goes outside the box, Lincoln says, "Really, Cliff?".
  • This Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption.
    Lincoln: "We call her the queen of..."
    Lori: "No!"
