Later, he is forced to trade it to Frank in exchange for a "smear tape" Frank and Mac made to discredit Dennis, who Charlie was helping to run for comptroller. When the campaign falls apart anyway, Charlie is distraught that he gave them up for, ultimately, nothing.

!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
* AccidentalInnuendo: Mac complains that they're getting "blasted in thepolitical scandal book.ass" by the state liquor taxes.
* AttackOfThePoliticalAd: When Dennis refuses to drop out of the race, Mac and Frank make an ad to smear him by accusing him of statutory raping an underage girl while he was a camp counselor.
* BadassLongcoat: Parodied when Frank and then Mac both meet Charlie in an empty parking lot wearing a trenchcoat. Both times, Charlie comments on how badass it looks.
* BerserkButton: The guys at the union do not take kindly to Mac calling them nerds, and spend the rest of the episode plotting an elaborate revenge against him.
* CallBack: Two to [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS02E07TheGangExploitsAMiracle the previous episode]]. The guys make another comment about Dee's "five-head", and Mac once again announces that he's "washing his hands of the whole situation" after Dennis fires him as campaign manager.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Mac atually succeeds in making some money from the union guys when Dennis drops out of the race, only to lose it all at the end of the episode when two CorruptCops solicit a bribe from ''him'' to stop them from arresting him.
* ChekhovsGun: At the beginning of the episode, Charlie is shown looking over his collection of Garbage Pail Kids. He later uses it to bribe Frank into handing over the tape smearing Dennis.
* ClipboardOfAuthority: Parodied; the guys seem to think that holding a clipboard is the ultimate status symbol and that whoever is acting as Dennis's campaign manager should have one.
* DeadlyEuphemism: Charlie ''thinks'' that Mac is doing this when he suggests that they need to make Dennis "disappear". Mac clarifies that he just meant Charlie should take him to Atlantic City for a few days until the election is over.

-->'''Charlie:''' Fine, no guns, no guns. Uh, [[NoodleImplements piano wire]], okay, maybe we can use some piano wire. Look, whatever it is, I gotta be the guy to pull the trigger on this thing.
* LIsForDyslexia: Dennis outright tells Charlie that he probably has dyslexia after reading the jumbled and incoherent campaign speech that Charlie writes for him.
-->'''Dennis:''' I'll read the words you wrote: "Hello, fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot. Taxes, they'll be lower, son. The democratic vote for me is right thing to do, Philadelphia, so ''do.''"
* MistakenForProstitute: A politician's wife mistakes Dee for one after Frank dresses her in ridiculously revealing clothes and overdone makeup in order to solicit another bribe.
* OpinionFlipflop: Charlie accuses Mac of doing this, disgustedly claiming that "that's what Democrats do".
* PhraseCatcher: Several different characters say "that's politics, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch!]]" to Mac throughout the episode.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Frank states that women in politics is like donkeys doing calculus.
* PoliticiansKissBabies: Parodied when Mac aggressively confronts a woman in the mall and demands that she give her baby to Dennis to kiss. Understandably, she's more than a little freaked out.
* PrisonRape: Implied at the end of the episode, when one of the cops tells Mac that the other inmates would "tear through him like Kleenex" if he went to prison.
* SleazyPolitician: Dennis practically embodies this while he's running for comptroller.
* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Played for laughs when Dennis visits Charlie's apartment and realizes that he and Frank must share the single futon.
