* ShoutOut: Roger wearing the sunglasses that cover his eyes and barely reacting during the roast which leads to his heartbroken reaction when he takes the main stage, is almost certainly a spoof of the 2002 Friars' Club Roast of Chevy Chase where Chase reacted the same way following the exceedingly brutal roast as Chase himself barely reacted and just stayed still with his sunglasses and had a similar reaction at the end.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Roger can't wrap his head around the Smiths actually laughing off their roasts of each other despite how scathing they were. Stan his to explain they can laugh it off because they're family and know it's not serious, which leads them to realize Roger took their insults poorly because he ''doesn't'' think he's part of their family despite all they do for him.


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: Francine's roast of Stan culminates in her saying he's almost as bad as Rachel Ray. When Stan starts laughing at this, Roger doesn't get it exclaiming "That's just about the meanest thing anyone's ever said to anyone!"


Added DiffLines:

* UngratefulBastard: The Smiths realize Roger doesn't believe he's part of their family even after everything they've done for him over the years, stating if he can't accept he's a Smith then it's his problem and he needs to go fuck himself instead of taking it out on them.

Added DiffLines:

* ThinSkinnedBully: Roger, often by his own admission, is a bitchy, cruel-witted sociopath. He sobs pathetically at the end of the roast after the family say "mean and hurtful things" about him. To emphasise this, he ''asked'' for the roast himself and demanded they pull no punches.
