* DomesticAbuse: Discussed, as that is what the charity collector is collecting money for.
-->'''Collector:''' I 'm collecting for victims of domestic abuse.\\
'''Eddie:''' Oh, thank you very much. ''[takes the collection tin from her]''



* WouldHitAGirl: {{Played For Laughs}}. Eddie gets into a brief tussle with a somewhat violent female charity collector before taking her tin and knocking her out with a hammer. The number of collection tins he has in the flat strongly implies that it's not the first time he's done this.

* WouldHitAGirl: {{Played For Laughs}}. Eddie gets into a brief tussle with a somewhat violent female charity collector before taking her collection tin and knocking her out with a hammer. She presumably dies as a result, as Natasha (who arrives shortly afterwards) says that she had to walk over a dead body in the corridor. The number of collection tins he Eddie has in the flat cupboard strongly implies that it's not the first time he's done this.

* IAteWhat: Richie takes a gulp of 'caviar' before Eddie informs him it is fish poo. He reacts by trying to spit it out (and scrape what's left of it off his tongue) without Natasha noticing.

* ShoutOutToShakespeare: Attempted when Richie (while trying to impress Natasha) asks Eddie what it was that [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]] used to say. Eddie, being Eddie, comes out with the following gems:
-->Where's my quill? Bloody hell, I bought five yesterday! Where do they all go?
-->What do you mean, it's crap? There's eight bodies at the end, and he gets to shag his mum!
