Diagnosed By The Audience requires that a substantial portion of audiences headcanon a character as having a particular psychological condition.


* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Sammy definitely appears to have some developmental issues. This is lampshaded a few times over the course of the series, most prominently in "Headshot."






* TheWoobie: Greg, certainly during his childhood years.
** Even more so with Sammy.

* QuirkyWork: For a generic show, the series had it's share of weird episodes. Taking the cake would probably be "Halloween," which starts out as a pretty standard episode but ends in a huge MindScrew involving Greg and Jimmy in bed with an elderly woman.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Occasionally, this show is a time capsule of late 90's and early 2000's child culture, featuring references to such shows as ''Music/TheWiggles'' and ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'', with the latter episode even having Sammy watching said show using a VHS tape. In addition, one episode's plot was centered around Emily Warner's birth being covered by ''A Baby Story'', a popular reality show during that era.

** In one episode, Jimmy unintentionally tells Creator/KevinSmith that his latest film (a [=WW2=] comedy) sucks, at first Smith gets offended and demands an apology, but then he later admits to Jimmy that his film really does suck and he ends getting more funding to do a different film. A very similar scenario ended up happening with Smith in real life, after Smith directed ''CopOut'', Smith was pissed at critics for the negative reviews, then he later admitted the film really wasn't very good, and that was a big part of his decision to make ''Film/RedState''.

* TheScrappy: Kim. She basically treated Greg's secretaries as slaves to do her bidding (and gave Greg an undeserved BadBoss reputation) and was repeatedly obnoxious and prudish about everything from raising her children to how she wanted Greg to do things...yet ''she'' was often seen as being in the right more often than not.

* SeasonalRot: Began to hit in Season 5, and was in full-stop mode in Season 6. The story arc where Greg is unemployed is difficult to watch, and short-haired Kim falling to Christine's level of apathy about her marriage and children stood in pretty jarring contrast to her bubbly, neurotic portrayal of Season 1.

** The parodying of ''Film/TheKarateKid''-style {{Determinator}} where Greg tries to stand up to a bully (played by ChristopherTitus) that continuously delivers [[CurbStompBattle Curb-Stomp Battles]] to him-even after getting training in Karate from a cameoing Pat Morita (to make things even more absurd, said training is on another side of the country and he has to fly to get the training and then ''back'' to face the bully).
