* ComedicSociopathy: The episode ends with the gang barricading their bickering guests in Mac and Dennis's burning apartment and drilling the door shut before bailing.
* ContinuityCavalcade: A who's who of recurring characters that the gang have managed to offend over the course of the past nine seasons is invited to their dinner party, including the [=McPoyles=], Charlie's landlord Hwang, Gail the Snail, Bill Ponderosa and the random guy whose car they destroyed after mistaking him for Bruce Mathis.
* ContinuityNod:
** Liam only has one eye after [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS08E03WeddingMassacre somebody ate his other one at his wedding]].
** Mac tries to invite [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS02E10DennisAndDeeGetANewDad Dennis and Dee's biological father]] Bruce Mathis, but accidentally invites [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E02TheGangSolvesTheGasCrisis the man they once mistook for him]] instead.
* CrappyHolidays: Both Mac and Dennis state at the beginning of the episode that they hate Thanksgiving, and the gang's attempt at smooting things over with their enemies definitely results in this.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Mac and Dennis comment on how sleazy Bill is after he expresses his relief that his kids aren't at the party.
* EyepatchOfPower: Averted by Liam, who has an incredibly creepy flesh-colored eyepatch in lieu of the usual black to make it look "less obvious". It gets even more unsettling after he glues a badly-drawn cartoon eye onto it.
-->'''Liam:''' Is it off-putting? Does it look real?
-->'''Dee:''' The skin tone is a... is a good... match. Oh, well, when you move the other one, I guess I can tell a little bit, if I'm being honest.
* FoodFight: The meal quickly devolves into this after the gang's attempts at resolving their beefs spiral out of control.
* FriendshipMoment: It's kind of cynical given the context, but the episode ends with the gang affirming they don't need to be liked by anybody else since they have each other, before going to spend the remainder of
Thanksgiving dinner together at Charlie's apartment.
-->'''Frank:''' We don't need to get along with everybody else, we got each other!
-->'''Dennis:''' Screw everybody else.
-->'''Mac:''' I hate people who are different than me, you know? Why pretend?
* GenreBlind: The [=McPoyle=] twins bought a video rental store, describing it as an "emerging market".
* KickTheDog: After Cricket asks if he can eat the gristle, Dennis tells him only if he eats it off the floor like a dog.
* LiteralMetaphor: A whole series of them: first of all Charlie cooks literal squash and beef, then Mac produces a bucket of sand and a hatchet
so that they can forgive them for "bury the hatchet", and finally Dee comes out with a piece of slate and a cloth to "wipe the slate clean".
-->'''Dennis:''' This is
all very on the crap nose.
* MoneyToBurn: Frank sets fire to a whole wad of cash in order to make a point to Hwang about not paying the rent, inadvertently setting Mac's room on fire in the process.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: A lot of Gail's dialog comes off like this.
* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: After Dennis compares the gang settling their disputes to "the original Thanksgiving", the others get derailed into a discussion over whether they would be the pilgrims or the Indians.
-->'''Frank:''' The pilgrims. They came out on top.
-->'''Dee:''' I don't know about that, Frank. The Indians,
they've done got sports teams, they've got casinos; they're a very celebrated people.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both Frank and Hwang state that the (extremely salty) crackers need more salt.
* ThanksgivingEpisode: A particularly warped take on the trope.
* TrashTheSet: The episode ends with Mac and Dennis's apartment burning down after Frank starts a "money fire".
* TheUnapologetic: The gang is this in spades. Mac and Dennis would rather try
to them.find a ''replacement eye'' for Liam than apologize for the part they played in his losing it to begin with.
