Tropes

  • Actually Pretty Funny: When Peter confides in her that someone who worked on his campaign is accusing him of having a Brazil-shaped mark on his penis, Alicia bursts out laughing.
  • Double Standard: Theresa points out that if she were a man, the network would not have a huge problem with her opening her shirt on a talkshow.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Cary's father uses a lot of sighing and apparent reluctance to make Cary worried about him, before revealing that he wants Cary to ask Diane to put in a good word for him.
  • Toilet Humor: On the day she died, Theresa's mother ripped a huge fart and made a joke about it.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Discussed by Cary and Alicia regarding how much tougher and smarter they are now than in season one.
