- What's Wrong With My Jumper? Tends to wear the same style outfit all the damn time.
- For The Last Time, I'm Not A Browncoat! Mal is from Colorado, speaks with a fairly strong Western accent and has been known to wear long drover coats. This makes everybody think he's a Whedonite, even though Mal doesn't like Firefly.
