Super OCD is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.

* IconicOutfit: Less extreme than his wife, but he usually wears a brown cap all day every day, and some variation of a buttoned shirt with a jacket on top.

* IconicOutfit: She's only ever working a Nightgown and a sleeping bonnet (with frills around the edge, way out of date even at the time the show is set). It doesn't matter where she is, or the time of day. Some episodes have her wear specialized versions of these designed to match the environment or weather. Other times she'll wear a coat or scarf atop the gown if outside.

* RunningGag: Attempting TheBabyOfTheBunch: Played with. Thérèse is not the youngest, but she tends to make paté chinois be treated as such. Moman treats her this way since she neglects Rénald, and failing spectacularly.Caro is often protective of her. This is probably enhanced by her being arguably the dumbest of the kids.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: While Rod is in no way a jerk or mean spirited, he is completely blind to the position of privilege he's in compared to his siblings, being Mom's favorite kid, and being dotted on by her to this day. He's completely unaware of the resentment he gets, particularly from Caro (Who's rather aware of how he's basically abusing mom's willingness to support him) and Rénald (Who resents being TheUnfavorite while Rod is mom's favorite with through effort of his own).

* HappilyMarried: She really loves her husband, and for the most part he reciprocates (if condescendingly).
* {{Irony}}: Despite her husband's attempt to be in their good graces and have their approval, his wife gets along with his parents ''far'' better than he does. They still act like they don't really like but she's arguably the closest thing to Moman's best friend.

* FreudianExcuse: In one episode Caro realizes that much of her issues stem from a desire to have her dad's approval. She tries to win him over, by the end realizes it's not worth it when he tries to milk her efforts for his comfort and amusement. It can sort be seen that Caro does have Daddy issues. Pop's HandsOfParenting seems to leave her with a desire that something she'll do might prompt a reaction out of her father. She's also shown a penchant for causes that attach her to paternal figures, like a cult leader of successful politician.

* BerserkButton: Being called "cheap" (That is, a cheapskate. Which he is. Exceedingly.)
to:
* BerserkButton: AffluentAscetic: He's easily the most well off of his family, being a bank manager. But Rénald is a bit of a miser, often trying as much as he can to avoid spending money. He's deeply obsessed with the inheritance when his parents finally pass away, yet its heavily implied he's already much richer than them. Being called "Cheap" (as in cheapskate) is a BerserkButton for him. That said he does own nice things (a suburban home larger than his parents, nice clothes), but he'll generally only go for those when he can find a way to get them cheaply.
* BerserkButton:
** Being called "cheap" (That is, a cheapskate. Which he is. Exceedingly.))
** Not having Sunday suppers and board games with his parents.

Thérèse is the third child of the couple. Now married to Réjean, who cheats on her. They both live on the second floor of the Paré's duplex, and are both unemployed. This makes her and her husband frequent visitors of the Parés. Thérèse is an insecure woman, in no part due to her husband's cheating. She is dependent on her mother, easily influenced or confused. Probably the most simple minded of the 4 siblings. She strives to make "Paté Chinois" [[note]](A French-Canadian variation on Sheppard's Pie trading the peas for canned cream corn and lamb for ground beef, with a simple potato mash layered on top of the corn, itself layered atop ground beef in a baking dish which is simple to make, her failure to do so outlining her stupidity)[[/note]] but simply cannot get the meal's 3 layers in the correct order, her inability to do so forms a running gag in the series.

* PerpetualPoverty: Like her husband, she's unemployed, and basically only has a home because she rents the top floor of her parents' duplex and they don't press her for rent. Like her husband, she fantasizes about them owning a Toyotal Tercel, an affordable subcompact car, which highlights their lack of ambitions. The food she obsesses on making, "Paté Chinois" is a Quebec version of a Sheppard's pie, using canned cream corn instead of peas, and ground beef instead of Lamb. It's often seen as a meal that can easily be made in bulk to feed a family for fairly cheap, which again highlights their lack of finances.
