* JerkassBall: Al is much more of a {{jerkass}} here than usual, using Labor Day as an excuse to boss his family around to set up the barbecue picnic and still act abrasively towards them. He preaches about Labor Day being about the labor workers such as himself but [[{{Hypocrite}} he forces Steve and Marcy (who have jobs themselves) to buy all the food]].

Peg didn't try to strangle Kelly - she succeeded! She clearly got to pin Kelly down to the ground and abuse her
* DownerEnding: The whole Labor Day barbecue has been ruined thanks to Kelly unknowingly having used Marcy's dead aunt's ashes to replace the ones Peg lost that Al cooks his burgers on. It's especially bad for Kelly since now she's being [[AbusiveParents strangled by Peg for her blunder]], Bud and Steve hurry to put the ashes back in the urn while Al and Marcy are blissfully ignorant of the whole fiasco happening behind them as they eat the burgers.
