* FridgeLogic: Why would an Italian woman write to her Italian husband a Dear John letter in English? (Yes, it's in English; Max and Saunders have to puzzle out the word Fu?: "The fur is gone?" / "The fun is gone." The Italian words for fur and fun can be in no way mistaken for each other.)
* LoveToHate: Phillip Saunders is a bully who treats everyone around him like shit. But damnit if he isn't the most hilarious character in the show.
* VanillaProtagonist: Max is a good character and provides plenty of laughs, but it's {{Deuteragonist}} [[LargeHam Saunders]] who steals the show.
