* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: In season 2, after learning that Brock had a secret vasectomy and she wants more kids, Barbara Jean tells Brock she's going to attempt to have another kid with him whether he likes it or not.
-->'''Brock''': It [the vasectomy] didn't hurt all that bad.
-->'''Barbara Jean''': Oh, it will when you get it reversed!
-->'''Brock''': I can't do that.
-->'''Barbara Jean''': Why not?
-->'''Brock''': Well, because the one I got was a perma-ectomy.
-->'''Barbara Jean''': Brock, you have a choice: we can do it at the dentist's office with anesthesia or late at night...while you're asleep.
-->'''Brock''': ''(later, to Reba)'' And I'm 90% positive she's not going to try anything in the middle of the night...if I don't go to sleep.

* LaxativePrank: In the last scene of the episode "The Blonde Leading The Blind", Reba bakes cookies for Van to show him that she forgives him for telling Barbara Jean to check up on her after her her laser eye surgery left her temporarily blind, despite her making it very clear that she wants to be left alone. Jake walks through the front door and a suspicious Van insist that he have a cookie, which he does, convincing Van that they're safe. Jake arrives in the kitchen where he tells Reba that he took the cookie she told him to. Van is then shown holding his stomach and walking quickly out of the living room.



* LethalChef: Cheyenne. Barbra Jean tries to teach her in one episode, and it backfires horribly; while [[DrowningMySorrows drowning her sorrows]] at her complete failure, she mentions how she taught her niece how to cook lasagna when she was ''six years old'' and worked at a church summer camp where she taught blind kids to cook, and she still couldn't make any progress with Cheyenne. [[FridgeBrilliance She could have been lying while drunk and was only fed up with Cheyenne's progress]], though when Reba comes home and Barbra Jean explains it, Reba simply agrees and says she's been there.

** After Reba hits Brock with the plastic baby during the birthing class they were attending, she describes to Lori Ann about how she did it with excitement (Lori Ann, who's no fan of Brock, reacts with equal glee). Her excitement vanishes the moment Jake, who has been standing behind Reba long enough to overhear her words without her knowing, makes his presence known.
-->'''Jake''': YOU HIT DAD?!



* TookALevelInJerkass: Jake in the later seasons as he grew up and got more episodes focused on him. Doing things such as lying to get Kyra in trouble, stealing charity money from his mom, selling sodas at school even though they're banned and pretending to be disabled in order to play on a wheelchair basketball team because he sucks at regular basketball.

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, Brock's adultery and Reba's divorce both become this as time wears on:
** Once, when Reba is considering selling her engagement ring to pay for a costly car repair, she's initially reluctant, asking Kyra "what if one of you kids wants it." Kyra points out that an engagement ring from a failed marriage would be like wearing the clothes of a dead man.
** Any time Reba tried to give Van and Cheyenne marriage advice, they would retort about how marriage advice from a divorced woman wasn't too reassuring. Reba would occasionally turn this around, basically saying, "Yes, I'm divorced, [[CareerBuildingBlunder learn from my mistakes]]."
** One time it definitely wasn't played for laughs was when Cheyenne became absolutely '''furious''' with Van for catching a ride from the airport and having dinner with a female coworker, calling him a cheater and a liar the whole episode. When Van asks why Cheyenne thinks he's going to cheat on her, she quickly snaps back, "Because my dad did," saying that since infidelity came out of nowhere and ruined her parent's marriage, she's always afraid the same thing could happen to hers.
** Whenever the parents are arguing and they bring up Cheyenne's teen pregnancy:
-->'''Reba''': One time! One time our daughter gets pregnant and I never hear the end of it!

* GenerationXerox:
** In terms of personality, Kyra seems to be more like her snarky mother, while Cheyenne takes after her father's vanity and subtle but dumb personality. Only Jake is the middle ground and behaves nothing like the rest.
** Van's mother is just as scatterbrained as he is when the focus is only on her. Case in point, she won't eat Reba's food. She'll ''stare'' at it and comment it looks good, while also insulting her when commenting how Reba puts her children before her and doesn't care one bit about her own well-being. They are also very easily ordered around by others with stronger personalities like Van's father.
** A subversion for Van, who realizes he was starting to become like his overbearing father when he trains Jake to be a good soccer player by constantly being too intense during matches.
