* BecomingTheMask: Dennis ends up getting a little ''too'' into things when he and Dee pretend to be serial killers.
* CannibalLarder: Revealed at the end of the episode, when Charlie opens Dee's neighbor Gary's fridge to find "about fifteen severed heads" inside.
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Charlie claims that he woke up to find Frank doing some very enthusiastic "research" the other night.
* ChainsawGood: Frank spends most of the episode carrying around a chainsaw, which he intends to use to torture a confession out of Mac. The episode ends with him revving it before the SmashCut to black when the gang find out that Gary is the real serial killer.
* ChekhovsGunman: Dee introduces Gary as her neighbor who works in the hardware store and has a crush on her. The end of the episode reveals him as the real killer.
* ContinuityNod:

** Mac once again states that he [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS01E02CharlieWantsAnAbortion doesn't use condoms.]]
* DidYouJustHaveSex: Dennis is immediately able to tell that Mac
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Mac does this when he's trying to explain to Carmen why he doesn't want to be seen with her in public. It ends with her breaking up with him.

-->'''Carmen:''' We ''are'' dating!
-->'''Mac:''' Look, I don't think it's too much to ask for you to keep this quiet considering your condition. It's not like I'm ashamed of ''you''; I'm ashamed of ''myself''.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Pepper Jack, the pimp who tries to buy Dee. He comes across as friendly and affable, but pulls a switchblade on Dennis and Dee when they piss him off.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Dennis and Dee do this twice in quick succession after deciding that Frank is right and Mac ''is'' the killer after all.
-->'''Dennis:''' Dee, the real serial killer... is Mac.
-->'''Dee:''' ''(gasps)''
-->'''Frank:''' That's what I just said! ''[...]'' I got a plan. We gotta set a trap, we gotta get a confession, but first we gotta lure him in on the phone.

-->'''Dee:''' Ooh, but first we gotta lure him in on the phone.
-->'''Frank:''' Are you shittin' me?
* HearingVoices: Charlie thinks that Mac is hearing voices when he mentions that "she" isn't talking to him anymore. He is of course referring to Carmen.
* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Mac's incredibly unsubtle exit of the bar at the beginning of the episode:
-->'''Mac:''' ''(talking very fast)'' I forgot about this thing that I gotta do, that I gotta take care of, I was thinking about it in the bathroom and I figured you know what, maybe I should just deal with it now, okay, so I'm just gonna go deal with it now, alright, I guess I'll see you guys later? Okay, bye.
* InadvertentEntranceCue: Dennis and Dee decide that they need to pick a victim they'd genuinely want to kill, and are debating who when [[ButtMonkey the Waitress]] approaches their table.
* InsanityDefense: Charlie tries to use this to prove Mac's innocence, claiming that he has a SplitPersonality.
* LoveMartyr: Dee's neighbor Gary, who is completely in love with her and lets her steal from the hardware store he works at despite the fact that she blatantly couldn't give a shit about him.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}:
-->'''Frank:''' Drawing a confession out of someone is like doing a beautiful dance... a beautiful dance with a chainsaw.
-->'''Dennis:''' ''(to Dee)'' He makes less and less sense as the days go by.
* MistakenForMurderer: Frank thinks that [[TitleDrop Mac is a serial killer]] due to his strange behavior.
* MistakenForProstitute: Dee is mistaken for one by a passing pimp when she dresses up in skimpy clothing in the dead of night to act as bait for the serial killer.
* MonsterClown: Dee dresses up as a "psycho clown" for her serial killer persona.
* NoYou: Dee does this when
-->'''Dee:''' Well, guess what? ''You're'' Larry Bird.
-->'''Charlie:''' Well that's okay, 'cause Larry Bird's an excellent player.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: The entire conversation between Mac and Charlie, where Mac thinks that Charlie has found out about his relationship with Carmen and Charlie thinks that Mac is confessing to being a serial killer.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Frank states that he doesn't want some "Jew lawyer" snooping around.
* SecretRelationship: The real reason for Mac's shady behavior is that he's dating Carmen again and doesn't want anybody to know.
* ShirtlessScene: Mac gets one after he and Carmen have sex.
* ShoutOut:
** Charlie makes several references to ''Series/LawAndOrder'', and he and Mac hum the theme tune at one point.
** When the others ask where he's going, Frank says "[[{{Series/Dateline}} To catch a predator!]]"
** Pepper Jack loves ''Series/FraggleRock''.
