* WeWantOurJerkBack: In one episode Glen Glen's mother, Jen, {{Jerkass}} and LargeHam feared in the entire town, lost her voice to everybody's relief. At last at first... [[FromBadToWorse Then]] entire town started acting like if they were turned into some decayed DarkWorld or even MirrorUniverse versions of themselves. In the end they all worked together to raise enough money to pay for her operation. Even Andy, who hates Jen's guts, gave everybody a RousingSpeech.

* AsHimself: Creator/LouieAnderson voices his childhood self.

-->'''Judge:''' ''I want the truth.''
-->'''Andy:''' ''[[Film/AFewGoodMen You can't '''handle''' the truth!]]''

* {{Tomboy}}: Jeannie

* CatchPhrase: Several, but the most used are Andy's "For crying out loud!" and "I heard that." in response to anyone's (mostly Louie's) DeadpanSnarker comments about him. And another one very often is Louie's mom berating Andy with ... well.. "'''''Andy'''''!"

* FakeUltimateHero: Andy portrays himself as an incarnation of some god of war in his stories. In one episode he scared a squirrel that attacked Louie, however each time he was telling somebody about it, he was replacing it with more dangerous animals. It ends with a story where he handles giant ''snow''bear (A fictional animal / folk legend in story) with his bare hands.

* InsultComic: Louie once became aquainted with an immensely popular stand-up comedian (who used to be friends with Louie's mother) whose whole routine revolved around selecting people in the audience to insult for humor. When Louie himself became a target of mockery for his weight, he decided that he didn't want to become known as a comedian who made fun of other people's misery. The end of the episode shows the comedian LonelyAtTheTop.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: In conjunction with the FakeUltimateHero and PhonyVeteran entries, Louie is desperately trying to find someone who knows his father but none of his old war buddies have every heard of Andy Anderson. After Andy saves them from a fire during the parade, it is revealed that his old war buddies only remember him by his nickname of "keister". It turns out his one real act of heroism was that he was making breakfast one morning unaware that enemies were approaching. He slipped and sat on the hot stove and his screams of pain awakened his buddies who quickly discovered and defeated the enemy ambush. In honor of his wounds, Andy was nicknamed "keister" for the rest of the war.

-->'''Andy:''' We are like army. And army takes care of it's soldiers. Even if that soldier is a pain in the butt.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In Poland, Life with Louie is so fondly remembered (probably thanks to the stellar dubbing), that pretty much everyone who was a kid in the 2000s and had cable TV at the time can do an impression of Andy Anderson saying "When I fought in the war...". And if you ask them a question they don't wanna answer, chances are they'll respond with "One rabbi would say yes, and the other would say no", a quote from an episode where Louie asks religious authorities about what happens after death.

** The best part? Judge wanted to know whether Andy [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments parked in a site for disabled people]].

* MoebiusNeighborhood: Anderson's only neighbors we see are Jensens.
