* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Zigzagged. Miriam gets away with shooting Bullock in the knee once she finds out he was cheating on her with Coco even after Miriam was rescued. While Francine's horrified and tells Stan it's okay to help his boss this time, the episode makes it clear that Bullock brought this on himself due to all his unreasonable demands, his rampant cheating, ''and'' the fact Miriam was held hostage and brainwashed for several years because of his refusal to negotiate with terrorists to get her freed sooner.

* FatBastard: Coco, a thoroughly unpleasant and overweight skank who has no problem forcing Stan to do what she wants by threatening to call Bullock.
