!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:

* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: At one point Frank asks for a sharp knife as he claims that his gambling buddies are going to start betting ''fingers''.
* ContinuityNod:
** Frank's [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS02E06TheGangGivesBack Vietnamese gambling buddies]] return.
** The [=McPoyles=] still have a grudge against Charlie for [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS01E07CharlieGotMolested getting them arrested]].
** Dee reminds Artemis of that time she [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS01E04CharlieHasCancer licked Dennis's face]].
* DenOfIniquity: What Paddy's eventually becomes after the guys declare it a freedom zone, complete with shady gambling, incest and people openly shooting up with heroin.
* {{Eagleland}}: Charlie is practically the embodiment of Type 2, though he thinks he's Type 1.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Both Mac and Charlie predict that the [=McPoyles=] are going to end up stabbing the latter before Liam does just that.
* GoodGirlGoneBad: Discussed when Dennis tells Mac that they don't want wild girls for the bar; they want real girls to ''go'' wild.
* OffscreenTeleportation: The [=McPoyle=] twins manage to pull this off twice, suddenly appearing first behind Mac and Dennis and later behind Charlie. Earlier, an elderly Vietnamese man does the same to Mac and Dennis.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The anti-smoking protester who Dee and Charlie watch admits that he's just an actor with no personal investment in the cause, and openly smokes when he's off the clock.
* PerformanceAnxiety: Dee warns Charlie that he might end up suffering from this as they prepare for their street performance.
* RussianRoulette: The episode ends with Mac and Dennis going to kick Frank's gambling friends out of the basement, only to find them playing Russian roulette down there. The camera focuses on their shocked faces as [[SoundOnlyDeath a gunshot is heard]], before Dennis resignedly goes to phone the police.
* SecondFaceSmoke: Dennis blows his smoke in Charlie's face when Charlie is ranting about the janitorial work at the start of the episode.
* SexyCoatFlashing: A HotLibrarian type does this to Mac and Dennis in order to get Mardi Gras beads from them.
* ShoutOut:
** Mac calls Charlie "Comic/CaptainAmerica".
** The final scene, with Frank conducting Russian roulette games in the basement, is a reference to ''Film/TheDeerHunter''.
* {{Squick}}: In-universe, this is Mac and Dennis's reaction on seeing Ryan [=McPoyle=] openly making out with his sister Margaret.
* TooDumbToLive: Charlie starts ranting at the [=McPoyles=] to go ahead and stab him already. Seconds later, Liam stabs him with a fork.
* VillainousIncest: In Mac's words, the [=McPoyle=] siblings all "bang" each other.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: Charlie vomits in front of the crowd while suffering from performance anxiety as he and Dee attempt to be street performers.
