Go To


1	* CrossesTheLineTwice:
2	** The WW Lazers restaurant's doo-wop singers, with Franklin Roosevelt on the keyboard, Tojo on the electric guitar, and ''Hitler'' on vocals.
3	** Stealing money from a fountain at a mall? Horrible. Stealing money from a fountain that was supposed to ''grant sick children their wishes as they stare at him stealing from them''? ''Hilarious''.
4	** The Mayor calling Gibbons "it" during "Surprise Party".
5	* HoYay:
6	** It's all but outright stated between The Mayor and Dr. Ian Black.
7	** The Mayor and Saul as well.
8	* ReferencedBy Satan can be seen watching the intro during the first episode of WesternAnimation/LucyTheDaughterOfTheDevil.
9	* RetroactiveRecognition:
10	** In what has to be the most bizarre example of this possibly ever, the voice of Joy Peters is Creator/StephanieCourtney, who two years after the show ended would become world-famous as Flo, the {{Advertising/Progressive}} Girl.
11	** Creator/ZachGalifianakis as Dr. Vickerson, a few years before he hit it big with ''Film/TheHangover.''
12	* {{Squick}}:
13	** The Mayor feeding an unconscious Tom wet cat food for several weeks in "WW Lazers"
14	** The guests at Brindon’s memorial were served a gelatinous “meat cobbler” in “Puddins”.
15	* TearJerker: "Puddins" has Tom go through an absolutely ''BRUTAL'' mental breakdown after his stepson Brindon eats himself to death at his own birthday party, it is ''NOT'' PlayedForLaughs. Tom's grief becomes an all-encompassing obsession over Brindon, he's kicked out of his home and forced to live in the dumpster behind Puddins with ants as his only companions. The episode ends with Tom crying, huddled up in the Mayor's office as a hermit for about an entire year, unable to let go of his dead stepson.
16	* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Part of the reason Tim and Eric moved onto other projects is that the show's ratings were miserable thanks to this trope. After a while, once it's clear Tom will be screwed over every chance the show gets, you stop caring enough to watch, especially considering this was the only recurring joke the show really had. The show's [[WorldOfJerkass mean-spirited cast]] and [[CrapsackWorld overall cynical atmosphere]] don't help matters either.
17	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
18	** The constant mention of CD-Rs, the employment of hipstery, cheerful muted horns with big, blocky, colorful text in the end credits, and Tom's use of both a [=BlackBerry=]-esque device and Website/MySpace-like social network all point to this show taking place in a very specific timeframe, around [[TurnOfTheMillennium 2004 to 2006]].
19	** “Gibbons” has a scene that claims Prince Charles is coming to the friendship convention that episode (he never showed up for unknown reasons). As of May 2023, Prince Charles is now ''King'' Charles, making the episode outdated.
