* AnAesop: No matter [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished how badly life treats you for it]], helping other people is always the right thing to do.



* UngratefulBastard: Whenever Frasier tries to do something nice to another person, he is hit with this. He tries to return a man's wallet, and he's wrongfully accused of stealing from the wallet. He helps a woman with her bags at the airport, and she doesn't thank him and carelessly tears his suit when she shuts the door of a Cab on it. He helps a man with car trouble, and the man tries to [[FrivolousLawsuit sue him for minor damage done to his car on account of Frasier's cufflinks.]]

* DrivenToSuicide: PlayedForLaughs, after Frasier spends the night in jail:
-->'''Frasier''': Was it really necessary to take my belt and shoelaces?\\
'''Cop''': Standard procedure, it's for your own protection.\\
'''Frasier''': For God's sake, you had me in the drunk tank! If I wanted to kill myself, I'd have taken a deep breath!

* AllJustADream: The main twist of the episode is that, after already having multiple good deeds lead to misery, the sequence of events starting from Frasier trying to help a prostitute was just him playing out the worst-case scenario in his head. When he still goes through with it, it turns out she's not even a prostitute; she's actually just one of his neighbors that he didn't recognize.
* ArtisticLicenseLaw: As pointed out in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nh_C-J35U4 this video]] analyzing the episode, the cop who arrests Frasier when he picks up Crystal has no reason or probable cause to do so on account of lack of evidence that he was pimping this transvestite. However, to be fair, [[AllJustADream it was an intentional exaggeration]].
* MoralityPet: Even after everything that happens ([[AllJustADream or at least what Frasier thinks will happen]]) after helping a prostitute, Frasier refuses to tell his son Frederick that it was wrong to try and help someone.
