* AccidentalMisnaming: When the other characters see Brent performing stand-up for the first time:
-->'''Wanda:''' This is weird. Nobody's ignoring him. They're all listening to him or... something. Maybe I should have paid more attention to Brett.\\
'''Lacey:''' It's "Brent".\\
'''Wanda:''' You sure?

* HypocriticalHumor: Oscar berates Emma for being unsupportive of Brent's comedy career. Turns out he's no better.
-->'''Oscar:''' Unbelievable, Emma! The boy has a chance to do something with his life, and you wanna squash it. This is just like the time you burned his letter of acceptance from college.\\
'''Emma:''' ''You'' burned that!\\
'''Oscar:''' Well... someone had to take over the family business!


Added DiffLines:

* SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll: Emma is afraid that if Brent gets into show business, he'll turn into this trope.
-->'''Emma:''' Brent's gonna be on drugs!\\
'''Oscar:''' Why? Because he tells jokes one night a week in the city?\\
'''Emma:''' That's all it takes!\\
'''Oscar:''' He's gone to the city thousands of times, and he's never come home zipped up on goofers.\\
'''Emma:''' It's not the city I'm worried about, it's show business! My cousin played accordion with an all-girls polka band, and now she ''lives'' for the bottle.\\
'''Oscar:''' She was a drunk before that. [[TakeThat Sober people don't join polka bands!]]
* ShaggyDogStory: In the end, Brent turns down his chance to go on tour as a comedian, as stand-up comedy was just one of many things on a list of things he'd like to try, and he has no desire to turn it into a career.
