8	* '''Double Subverted''': He takes the Taconic Parkway to his job in The Bronx, where the real action happens.
9	* '''Parodied''':
10	** The villains, who are not from Earth, [[AliensStealCable do their research on the planet by watching movies and TV shows]], and therefore believe that it's the most important city in the world, [[AlienInvasion which is why they attack it]].
11	** Alternately, their reason for focusing on New York is that they ''really'' like Mallomars.
12	* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob tells the tale of his job has a FBI agent. When asked where he's from, he says New York. He's from Poughkeepsie. However, he says he drives to New York every time he has a shift. He is stationed in Yonkers. However, he only gets called to streets in the Bronx
13	* '''Averted''': From the start, it is stated that Bob lives and works at his interesting job in Poughkeepsie, and the farthest he goes in the series is still within that city.

16	** [[CreatorProvincialism The writers are from New York.]]

18	* '''Lampshaded''': On a freeway, Bob sees a sign for "To New York City". Alice says, "Okay, take the ramp to the only damn place in this state where things happen."
19	* '''Invoked''': Bob avoids the airports and highways out of New York because he believes something will be interesting in New York.

24	* '''Deconstructed''':
25	** With everything interesting happening in New York, people are swarming into the city, and overpopulation becomes a problem.
