* TheBroCode: Frank scolds Dennis for sleeping
with Dennis.the Waitress, telling him that he shouldn't have sex with his friends' girlfriends. [[HypocriticalHumor Despite the fact that Frank himself did exactly the same thing.]]

-->'''Dennis:''' Oh, Jesus Christ, are you gonna keep saying that? Is that like your catchphrase now?

* ContinuityNod:
** The gang are sentenced to community service after [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS02E02TheGangGoesJihad burning down a building]].
** Dennis mentions that he's [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS01E04CharlieHasCancer slept with the Waitress]].
* TheGamblingAddict: Frank is shown to have a bit of a gambling problem, making inconsequential bets and hanging around a shady group of Vietnamese gamblers.
* LIsForDyslexia: Charlie has difficulty reading simple words like "months" when reading about his sentence at the beginning of the episode.
* LoveMartyr: The Waitress is still very hung up on Dennis, despite his horrible treatment of her in past episodes.
* SeriousBusiness: The gang treats a children's basketball game as this due to their own petty rivalries and competitive nature. The fact that Frank manipulates them into betting $500 on the outcome might also have something to do with it.
* ShoutOut: Mac compares Dee to [[Series/SesameStreet Big Bird]] when she wears a yellow pantsuit.
* TheSponsor: The Waitress offers to act as one for Charlie, though in reality she's only using him to get closer to Dennis.
* ThrowingTheFight: Frank deliberately fixes the game in order to make money off his gambling buddies by bribing Dennis's star player not to take part.
* TropaholicsAnonymous: Charlie is required to attend AA meetings as part of his community service.
* UnnecessaryRoughness: All over the place thanks to the gang teaching their kids to use tactics such as stomping on their opponents' feet with steel-toed construction boots (Dennis) or hiding safety pins in their wristbands as makeshift shivs (Mac). Predictably, the final game is utter carnage.
* WouldHitAGirl: Mac elbows Dee in the face while demonstrating to the kids how they should play.
