* ActorAllusion: Val's {{Landlord}} is played by David Lander, essentially reprising his role as [[Series/LaverneAndShirley Squiggy]].
* BasementDweller: Prior to and [[StatusQuoIsGod after]] this episode, Val lives with her parents. It's mentioned that her allowance is her only income.
* CreepyCockroach: Val's apartment has a roach infestation.
* GayBarReveal: Variation. Val sells Fran on the apartment, in part, by mentioning that the place is "just crawling with single guys." Val stupidly failed to notice something about said guys.
-->'''Fran:''' The place is just crawling with single men, Val? Perhaps somebody should have thought twice before renting an apartment across the street from the Creator/JudyHolliday Inn!
* GradeSkipper: When Niles learns Val's age, Fran tries to prevent him from using this to figure out hers by claiming she skipped a few grades. When that doesn't work, Fran says Val was HeldBackInSchool. That Niles could believe.
* InadvertentEntranceCue:
-->'''Fran:''' I'm never going to meet a rich, eligible bachelor around this place.\\
'''Maxwell:''' ''[passing through]'' Hello.
* OrAreYouJustHappyToSeeMe: Fran is preparing for a date with a podiatrist:
-->'''Fran:''' "Is that a bunion poking through your shoe, or are you just happy to see me?" Maybe I shouldn't open with that.
* WakeupMakeup: {{Lampshaded}}
-->'''Niles:''' You sleep in your makeup?\\
'''Fran:''' Honey, do you see a ring on this finger? What if there was a fire? Do I need some gorgeous fireman climbing over me to save the sixteen-year-old heiress?
