!!Tropes featured in Legit:
* AwesomeAussie: Jim.
* BlackComedyRape: The source of Jim's troubles in "Misunderstanding". He didn't do it of course, but the joke still doesn't fly over with anyone.
* [[spoiler:ChocolateBaby:The eventual outcome of Wendy the hookers baby in "Fatherhood"]]
* CourtroomEpisode: "Justice"
* DistractedByTheSexy: The Judge in "Justice" by Jim's lady friend.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: How Jim came to America. He wanted to get away from his family.
* GagPenis: Billy is apparently very well endowed downstairs.
* HandicappedBadass: Throughout "Justice" Billy fearlessly snaps off at the two armed men robbing the house. His disease has apparently taken away his fear of death.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Wendy from "Fatherhood". Woman is sweet as can be.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Jim calls an English guy on the plane "a Pommy cock" and then accuses an American passenger of racism when he's called a limey, and points out that that's the British not Australians. (A 'Pom' or 'Pommy' is a light slur used against the English in Australia, generally in jest, and isn't taken offense to.)
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jim's a prick, but he's a nice guy deep down.
* KavorkaMan: Jim has no problems getting laid, despite being a dickish slob.
* MyBelovedSmother: Janice. Big time.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The storyline to many episodes are pulled from Jim's life, including the robbery, taking his friend to a brothel and the hoarding mother.
* SexAsARiteOfPassage: The plot of the first episode.
* TheDanza: Jim Jefferies as Jim Jefferies, Eddie Ifft as Eddie.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Jim's Ukrainian accent in "Misunderstanding". General consensus is that it sounds more French than anything.
