The Weekenders - Running Gags

Running Gags

  • The constantly changing themes of the pizza place (one weekend it's Pizzamergency, and another it's Pizzanaut).
  • Carver's horrible penmanship.
  • A reference to Lor's many brothers and Lor never being quite sure exactly how many there are. Somewhere between 9 and 20.
  • Lor's brothers' constant urge to dog-pile on someone.
  • Tino's mom serving foods of highly questionable origin (Such as kelp ravioli and spinach Jell-O cones).
  • Chloe Montez's unusual, and often embarrassing predicaments. She is never shown on-screen.
  • Strange and exotic food exhibits at the anthropology museum (Including ants and putrid shark).
  • Whenever Mrs. Katsufrakis says something, Tish says what she means, and Mrs. Katsufrakis then says: "is what I say (That's what I said)." (e.g.: In the episode To Tish, Mrs. Katsufrakis says "I leave you to kitchen my cup." when she really meant "I leave you to kiss and make up.")
  • Tino's mom knowing everything about all of the predicaments he's ever gotten himself into. This usually leads to her finishing his sentence for him. One time, she even left an answering machine and even knows Tino would be bewildered.
  • Tish's obsession with having perfectly trimmed toenails.
  • Tino (or someone else in the group) always summing things up and ends an episode with the statement "Later days".
  • Frances' obsession with sharp objects. e.g.: The Halloween episode shows her dressed as a pair of scissors.
  • Jan "The Man" Testeverde constantly saying, "Hey yowza, dudes!"
  • The kids' teacher, Mr. Hossinfeld, referring to something as "a kick in the pants".
  • Tino having constant fears and obsessions.
  • The charitable duties of Helpers Helping the Helpless, led by the perpetually pregnant Gloria Duong.
  • Coach Colson answering the door in his robe (or worse). He always thought it was girl scouts selling cookies.
  • Tino becoming glued to various objects, such as beach towels and trees.
  • Carver's obsession with shoes and being cool.
  • Tino's fear and lack of coordination with anything sports related (except horseshoes).
  • Carver's head resembling a pineapple.
  • Tino's head resembling a pumpkin. One time Carver called him "Pumpkin Pie", which Tino hates.
  • Carver falling to his knees with his fists in the air yelling "Curse you!" to the sky.

    And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
