This episode includes examples of:
- Actually Pretty Funny: Stan laughs after hearing Steve curse at Francine.
- Big "NO!": Steve when Francine removes the switch for the console.
- Bowdlerise: The syndicated version
cuts out the first half of the word "goddamn" and bleeps out Snot mentioning the phrase "eff you". Also, the line "Who fact-checked this shit?!" has the last word changed to "kid". - Breaking the Fourth Wall: After Stan was caught walking naked in a supermarket, he looks at the camera and snips his fingers, essentially to make the audience "disappear" to end the episode.
- Denied Food as Punishment: Francine refuses to cook for Steve after he curses at her. This also extends to laundry and all other motherly duties.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Francine denies giving Steve any food or assistance all because he cursed at her.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Played for Laughs. Roger becomes shocked when he hears Steve curse at Francine.Roger: Wow.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: The hostesses and the entire female audience of Morning Mimosa are very ticked off at Francine's insult that they chase after her and Steve. Or at least try to, since they're too drunk from having too many mimosas to catch up.
- Hypocrite: Francine tells Steve to grow up when he freezes his mother out over some pancakes he made, even though she did the same thing to her son earlier in the episode and relished in doing it.
- I Have a Family: As the audience are throwing tacos at her, the aerobics lady cries out that she has kids.
- Jerkass Ball:
- Steve had absolutely zero qualms against saying "Fuck you!" to Francine after she interrupted his video games so he can set up the kitchen table.
- Francine, too. While she had the right to be upset at Steve for what he did, refusing to cook for him as well as catering to him is a bit much.
- Stan carries the ball every time he snaps his fingers and says "gone" to everyone, especially the biker.
- Kick the Dog: The audience think the homely woman given full makeup is still ugly, making her cry. Then the hostesses opened the trap door underneath her and spit at her.
- Lady Drunk: Suze and Trish, along with the entire audience of "Morning Mimosa". It's the entire point of the talk show.
- Mama Bear: Realising that Steve would've been at the mercy of Suze, Trish and the Morning Mimosa audience, Francine decides to come to the studio to save her son. When Suze and Trish try to trap door Steve and Francine, she says "Fuck! You!" to them. And as Francine and Steve escape the studio, she carries her son, who begins to tire from climbing.
- Mythology Gag: One of the audience members resemble an earlier design of Toshi' mom.
- Naked People Are Funny: Stan wanders around at Red State Grocery completely naked, mainly due to snapping his fingers at everyone and convinced that he's the only person left on Earth.
- No Ending: Francine and Steve escaping from the Morning Mimosa audience isn't resolved, while Stan's subplot (and the episode) ends the moment he snaps his fingers at the camera.
- Precision F-Strike: Steve's "Fuck you!" to Francine, who later does it to Trish and Suze.
- Raging Stiffie: Implied with Bullock once Stan sits on him in his chair.Stan: (sighs) "Deputy Director Smith. First order of business... get a less erect chair."
- Rejected Apology: Steve tries to apologize to Francine for what he did through a card. Since the apology was shown to be hollow, Francine refuses to accept it. She later forgives him when he gives a proper apology.
- Running Gag: Stan snapping his fingers and pretending to be alone while saying "gone".
- Title Drop: The titular show is mentioned by name several times.
- Trap-Door Fail: After Trish and Suze realize that Steve lied about being an orphan and actually has a mom, a pull string drops down so Trish and Suze can put them in the pit for punishment. But after they pull it and the trapdoor opens, Trish and Suze realize that Francine and Steve weren't standing on the trapdoor but nowhere near the trapdoor.
- What the Hell, Hero?: The biker calls out Stan for crushing his bike— *snaps fingers* "GONE!"
