* PlayingGertrude: Alberta Watson was only 14 years older then Jeremy Davies, who played her on-screen son.

* BridalCarry: Ray does this for Susan, helping her from the bathroom back to the bedroom. Foreshadowing what's to come...

* LikesOlderWomen: In a twisted example of this, Ray ends up becoming infatuated with his own mother. His awkward smile after Susan jokes about slipping in the bathroom makes him seem like a schoolboy with a crush. Of course, if her "boner boat" comment earlier is to be believed, Ray's ''always'' been attracted to her.

* ParentalNeglect: Tom isn't close to either his wife or his son. According to Susan, Tom didn't want Raymond in the first place. Even at the end, when Ray reveals what he and Susan have been doing in order to get his father to intervene and let him leave the home, he just dismisses Ray and tells Susan to get him professional help.

* InternalReveal: Towards the end, Tom discovers that his wife and son are having sex when Ray tells him so over the phone, but he barely pays any attention to it and respond with minor annoyance before going into a meeting.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Ray. Often, albeit unsuccessfully because the dog always interrupts. His inability to do this throughout the film ends up causing him SanitySlippage.

* CoversAlwaysLie: This 90's indie film has a cover depicting the typical twenty-something slacker known to star in this sort of movie, making it seem to be a SexComedy in the vein of ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', possibly about having ADateWithRosiePalms. In reality, it is a DarkComedy about ParentalIncest.

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: The title refers to a slang term for [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbation]].

* ManipulativeBitch: Susan is quite good at manipulating people. After assaulting a neighbor's daughter, she keeps her father from pressing charges by sympathy baiting. However, the worst example is revealed later on: Ray takes Susan to see the doctor and discovers that she could have had her casts removed weeks ago. This strongly implies that rather than it being a spur of the moment mistake driven by lustful circumstance, she decided to [[ParentalIncest seduce her son into a sexual relationship]] all along, showing a level of premeditation that makes her truly irredeemable.

* OedipusComplex: Ray has a distant relationship with his frequently absent and overbearing father Tom, and a codependent relationship with his mother Susan, which eventually becomes sexual, causing him much mental anguish and confusion.
