* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Elka a CoolOldLady, or is she needlessly cruel and malicious (especially towards Joy) ForTheEvulz?
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Elka's snark is either hilarious or undeserved cruelty.
* BizarroEpisode: in Season 5 episode 17, the girls visit Elka at her house where they land in a cartoon version of Cleveland. They meet Steven Tyler who grants them three wishes, the first wish sends them to beauty land, where Joy turns into a balloon, Melanie becomes a BrainlessBeauty and Victoria a Baby, the second wish causes a Zombie Apocalypse and the girls build their perfect men using built a bear equipment, and Elka’s third wish is that [=LeBron=] never left Cleveland which causes the town to turn into a second Los Angeles.
* SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny: Joy's groom calls off the wedding, her new friend Vicky comforts her by jokingly promising to marry her herself.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: '''Betty. White.''' To the point where virtually everyone credits the show's high ratings to the decision by the producers to turn her one-shot appearance in the pilot into a regular role. To everyone's credit, Elka has not yet become a full-fledged BreakoutCharacter, but seems to be following in the footsteps of, appropriately enough, Sophia from White's own ''Series/TheGoldenGirls''.
* FanPreferredCouple: Despite the fact that Joy ends up marrying Bob at the end of the show, most fans prefer to ship Joy with Victoria. This is mainly due to the fact that a lot of fans feel that Joy and Victoria have better chemistry than Joy and Bob. It doesn't help that Joy and Victoria have a lot of LesYay between them, including them getting an AccidentalMarriage in one episode. The majority of the fan works for the show across the Internet is Joy/Victoria.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** In the pilot episode, Joy (Creator/JaneLeeves) sarcastically asks Elka (Creator/BettyWhite) if she was a hundred. The latter passed away just ''17 days'' shy of her centennial birthday.
** Heather Locklear had a minor role in season 4 as the PsychoExGirlfriend of Melanie's love interest. In 2018, Locklear was arrested for assault twice.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Compare White's role from ''Golden Girls'' and her role in this show. Hell, compare it to her role on ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow''.
** ''Edge of Tomorrow'' eventually became the name of an [[Film/EdgeOfTomorrow actual movie]]!
* LesYay: Victoria and Joy. The two get into an AccidentalMarriage in the season 2 finale and in the episode that shows how they met, Victoria promised to marry Joy in 20 years if the latter wasn't married yet.
* TheissTitillationTheory: Melanie in a trash bag-dress when she causes it to ride up in "Duct Soup".
