* BlackBestFriend: Mac and Charlie hit up the college campus in an attempt to find one of these after the Waitress overhears Charlie using the N-word out of context.
* CampGay: Downplayed with Dee's friend Tyrell; he's not overly flamboyant, but he does have a few camp mannerisms. When Dee angrily demands to know why he didn't tell her he was gay, he points out that he's a theater director living in Philadelphia - he thought it was obvious.
* CampStraight: Dennis dials this UpToEleven when the bar's new gay patrons start flirting with him.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: All four members of the gang are notably different from the characterizations they would eventually settle into:
** Dee is the OnlySaneMan and by all accounts appears to be a fairly normal young woman. By the end of the first season, she ends up just as depraved and unstable as the guys.
** Mac is portrayed as fairly liberal and doesn't show any hints of repressed homosexuality (though he is the most vocally opposed to the idea of turning Paddy's into a gay bar), in contrast to the ArmoredClosetGay [[TheFundamentalist Fundamentalist]] he would later become.
** Charlie is depicted as more of an UnluckyEverydude who happens to have a crush on this one coffee shop waitress, as opposed to the shrill, illiterate and borderline psychotic StalkerWithACrush of later episodes.
** While Dennis is already described as being incredibly vain, his narcissism is nowhere near the delusional levels it reaches later in the series. He also comes across as the most normal and mentally stable member of the cast alongside Dee, while it later becomes apparent that the opposite is pretty much true.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Janel, the college girl who Charlie goes on a date with, just happens to be Tyrell's sister.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: The gang does this ''constantly'' while trying to prove that they're not racist.
* EstablishingSeriesMoment: The very first scene has Dennis, Mac and Charlie discussing the dismal amount of money they just made, before instantly making themselves out to be racists when Dee introduces them to Tyrell. Cue several seconds of awkward silence, then cut to title card. It pretty much sets the tone for the entire series and immediately lets you know [[ComedicSociopathy what kind of show you're watching]].
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Dennis makes a killing in tips due to his popularity with the gay crowd - who refer to him as "the cute one", much to Dee's chagrin.
* FagHag: Tyrell accuses Dee of being "into gay dudes".
* GilliganCut: Dee tells Tyrell that the guys aren't happy about Paddy's being a gay bar. Cut to Dennis and Charlie laughing hysterically and embracing each other as they count the night's takings.
* HypocriticalHumor: Mac repeatedly yelling at Charlie to "stop making a scene" after tackling him to the ground in public to steal his wallet.
* IncestSubtext: Starting right off the bat in the very first episode. Dee calls Dennis "pretty boy".
* IntoxicationEnsues: At Dee's request, Mac gets Dennis blackout drunk on tequila so that the two of them can sabotage the gay bar.
* MistakenForRacist: The Waitress comes over to take the guys' orders just in time to hear Charlie talking about "niggers hanging from the rafters". He's actually quoting Tyrell, who in turn was talking about how packed his events can get, but she doesn't believe him.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Tyrell regales the gang with the story of an intense encounter he had with another man, which ends with him taking the guy out to the alley and "tearing his ass apart". Mac, Dee and Charlie think he's talking about a fight, but only Dennis seems to realize that he means... something else.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Charlie is so fixated on the Waitress that he initially throws away a cute girl's phone number without a second glance. Even after Mac persuades him to go on a date with her, he ends up taking her to the coffee shop and asks the Waitress out in front of her.
* WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame: What Paddy's briefly becomes with Tyrell managing their promotions.
