* HereWeGoAgain: Having narrowly avoided conviction for kidnapping due to their collective ego's and Charlie's poor impulse control, they ''could'' just let him have the last word in his second review and wash their hands of the previous day. Instead, they become offended that they were not mentioned by name and decided to go up to him and complain. Charlie stopping for a second to retrieve his hammer implies that the entire episode will play out again, the whole gang not having learned a damn thing.

----
!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbsenteeActor: Frank doesn't appear in the episode.
* AccidentalKidnapping: Charlie gets drunk and ends up kidnapping Korman, and the gang spends the rest of the episode trying to figure out a way to release him without inviting legal trouble. Later, Dennis and Dee also somehow manage to kidnap Korman's neighbor Mehar as well.
* BadassesWearBandanas: Discussed when Charlie finds a bandana and he and Mac get into a fight over who should wear it.
* BaitAndSwitchComment: When Mac is reading Korman's initial review at the beginning of the episode:
-->'''Mac:''' ''(reading)'' "The first thing I noticed about
-->''(The others all make general pleased noises)''
-->'''Mac:''' ''(reading)'' "...it has none."
* BigNo: Korman does this when Mac and Charlie help him go to the bathroom.
* BigStupidDooDooHead: Dee addresses Korman as "poo-poo pants" at one point.
* BondOneLiner: Charlie tells Korman that he's "out of time" after smashing his clock with a hammer.
* CallBack: The gang are shown [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS02E02TheGangGoesJihad singing a capella together again]].
* CarpetRolledCorpse: Charlie suggests doing this to Korman while he's still alive in order to smuggle him into the bar without anyone seeing.
* ChekhovsGun: The beginning of the episode shows the gang setting up a new flatscreen TV and Blu-Ray player in the bar. They're eventually forced to give it to Mehar as a bribe to keep him quiet about the whole kidnapping thing.
* CrimeAfterCrime: After Charlie kidnaps Korman, Dennis and Dee break into his apartment to cover their tracks but discover that they've got the wrong apartment and kidnap Mehar when he walks in on them.
* DisproportionateRetribution: The gang respond to Korman giving them a bad review by harassing him at his place of work, kidnapping him, tying him to a chair and verbally abusing him for several hours while forcing him to write a new review.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Charlie takes a bite out of a ''urinal cake'' in order to make a point about how clean the bathrooms at Paddy's are.
-->'''Mac:''' Bro, I ''just'' pissed in there. Like, five minutes before you came in.
-->'''Charlie:''' Don't say that now, you're gonna make me look bad.
* GoodCopBadCop: Mac and Charlie respectively while dealing with Korman.
* HypocriticalHumor: Dennis asking "how's that for class?" after spitting in Korman's coffee.
* IHaveAFamily: Mehar tells the gang that he has a diabetic cat in an attempt to convince them to let him go. They just kidnap the cat as well.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Mac grabs a pool cue while demonstrating his "cooler" abilities.
* TheKeyIsBehindTheLock: Charlie locks the car keys in the trunk with Mehar, leaving the gang wondering how to get him out.
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Mac and Charlie have this reaction after they're forced to handle Korman's penis to help him go to the bathroom while he's still tied up.
-->'''Mac:''' How long do you think we can hold that inside?
-->'''Charlie:''' It's burning me up inside, man!
* LowerClassLout: Korman's first review describes Dee as a "surly, white trash waitress" and Mac, Dennis and Charlie as "classless boors".
* MilesGloriosus: Lampshaded when Mac tries and fails to break the car window with a roundhouse kick. Charlie tells him to take at least ''one'' karate lesson if he's going to claim to be a master at it.
* NobodyPoops: Averted; Korman announces that he needs to pee almost immediately after Charlie ties him to a chair.
* NoodleIncident: Dee claims that there have been "many stabbings" in the bar.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Dee calls Korman a "faggot" for ordering white wine.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Korman delivers an absolutely ''vicious'' written one to the gang in his second review.
-->''"The owners all deserve to rot in jail, though having to spend every day with each other in that vile establishment is a decidedly greater punishment. That is why I decided not to press charges, leaving them to live in the hell on earth that they've created for themselves for the rest of their pathetic and miserable lives."''
* ShoutOut: Mac compares his bouncing abilities to those of Patrick Swayze in ''Film/RoadHouse''.
* SkewedPriorities: After reading Korman's second review of the bar, the gang are mostly irritated that none of them were mentioned by name.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Dennis says this verbatim to Dee at one point.
* TapOnTheHead: Charlie seems to think that this is how amnesia works, suggesting that they hit Korman over the head with a bottle and then take him back to his apartment so that he forgets anything ever happened. The rest of the gang point out how stupid this is, but they're eventually forced to go with it when Charlie hits Korman with the bottle anyway.
* TrunkShot: Used twice when the kidnappings of first Korman and then Mehar are revealed to the rest of the gang.
