* CelebrityParadox: Charlie wears a Bayside Tigers shirt in this episode, a clear reference to ''Series/SavedByTheBell''. ''Saved by the Bell'' star Dennis Haskins appeared in a previous episode, meaning presumably both Haskins and his character from that episode exist in the ''Sunny'' universe.

** Later, they pull the same trick by putting another box of kittens down a well, and ask Dee to save them, all while promising that this time they ''won't'' set the well on fire. Guess what happens.

!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
* AccidentalHero: Mac accidentally saves a guy from choking on a grape by punching him in the stomach. Being Mac, he's mostly concerned about the fact that Charlie didn't put a tape in the camera so his "heroism" wasn't caught on film.
* ClubKid: Dennis temporarily becomes one.
* ConfusedBystanderInterview: Mac gives one of these after witnessing a bus crash at the beginning of the episode, and is incensed when his twenty minute rant is cut down to a single soundbite in the final broadcast.
* ConveyorBeltODoom: Played for laughs when the guys attempt to construct a conveyor belt that leads to Charlie chopping enthusiastically with a bitcher's knife, so that Dee can rescue some kittens for their fake news story.
* CoolestClubEver: The club that Dennis and Dee spend much of the episode trying to get into.
* FriendlyLocalChinatown: Mac, Charlie and Frank visit one in search of a story for their news show.
* GilliganCut:
-->'''Dee:''' Usually when you get involved somebody gets hurt.
-->'''Frank:''' That's ridiculous. I'm just palling around the guys, how's anybody gonna get hurt?
-->''(Cut to title card: 'Frank Sets Sweet Dee on Fire')''
* GuiltyPleasure: In-universe, Dancing Man's show is this for the gang. It's just a man in his underwear dancing in front of a green screen, but they all agree that it's strangely addictive.
* HeroicFireRescue: Frank and Charlie attempt to stage one of these by having Mac run into a burning building to save a box of kittens. When Mac refuses, they get Dee to do it instead - [[ComedicSociopathy without telling her that they intend to set the building on fire]].
* IncestSubtext: After getting high on ecstasy in the club, Dennis and Dee end up on Dancing Man's channel grinding against each other while half-naked and wearing diapers. Earlier, Dennis claims that he'll talk Dee into doing some "nip-slips and upskirts" to help them get famous.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Mac's ridiculous theory for how the traffic system could be improved.
-->'''Mac:''' We should only have yellow lights, because then we could be very cautious but not get stuck in traffic!
-->'''Dee:''' [[LampshadeHanging That sounds incredibly dangerous and stupid.]]
* ManOnFire: [[TitleDrop Frank sets Dee on fire.]] ''Twice.''
* NotOnTheList: The bouncer pulls this when Dennis and Dee force their way to the front of the line. When Dee insults him, he lets Dennis through but not her.
* OverlyNervousFlopSweat: A running gag throughout the episode is that Mac can't stop sweating whenever he's being filmed.
* PrisonRape: Frank seems to think that a version of this goes on in nursing homes.
* RacistGrandpa: While trying to dig up a story in the nursing home, Mac interviews a sweet old lady... who also happens to be horribly racist.
-->'''Mac:''' Is there anything about this place you don't like?
-->'''Irvine:''' The blacks.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Dee delivers a brutal one to the bouncer when Dennis encourages her to "take a shit on him" to establish her celebrity cred. She takes it a bit ''too'' far, and ends up being refused entry to the club.
* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound: Mac and Charlie apparently had their own news show in 8th grade. Dennis claims that their "stories" mostly consisted of them setting GI Joes on fire and throwing rocks at cats.
* ShoutOut: Mac and Charlie reference both ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Tokyo Drift]]'' and ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'' in Chinatown.
* TakeThat: To Creator/ParisHilton.
