There are even some jokes where they were seeding foreshadowing, but were never able to actually have it come to fruition because the show was cancelled. My favorite of these is that Tobias is actually a black man

Man, now i gotta watch it again. I really love the funke. Oh is his name part of this gag?

I don't think so. It's more like he'll often say stuff that makes more sense if he were a black man. Eg. When Lindsay is hitting on Ice, Tobias says something like "she certainty has a type". Or how the cover of "The Man Inside Me" seems to show a black man. Much like the foreshadowing of Buster's hand, a lot of it is meant to be extremely subtle.
