!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbsenteeActor: Neither Dee nor Frank appear in the episode.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Dennis and Charlie overhear Mac telling the Waitress that [[ItMakesSenseInContext he'll only have sex with her if she's dressed as a man]] - specifically Dennis, while Mac dresses as Charlie - leading Charlie to conclude that he's secretly gay and in love with both of them.
* BloodBrothers: Mac refers to himself and Dennis as such.
* CharacterNameAlias: Mac gives the name of the Waitress's "boyfriend" as [[Series/MiamiVice Don Johnson]] when Charlie asks. Amusingly, Charlie doesn't notice anything amiss until Dennis points it out to him.

** It's revealed that [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS01E04CharlieHasCancer Dennis]] and [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS02E04MacBangsDennisMom Frank]] both have sex tapes of the times they slept with the Waitress.
** Mac [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS01E02CharlieWantsAnAbortion still doesn't like wearing condoms]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: Mac plans to sleep with the Waitress as revenge for Charlie destroying one of his "Project Badass" tapes.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Dennis attempting to persuade Charlie that he's a better friend than Mac is played like he's trying to seduce Charlie, complete with letting Charlie sleep in his bed.
* DrowningMySorrows: Charlie drinks an entire 24-pack of beer after Dennis reveals his suspicions that Mac is sleeping with the Waitress.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: When Mac starts looking for Dennis's sex tape with the Waitress under "W", she irritably points out that that's not what her name begins with. Sure enough, the tape is labeled "Waitress (coffee shop)".
* FriendshipMoment: At the very end of the episode, when Dennis, Mac and Charlie agree that the three of them should all just be best friends together.

* IJustWantToBeBadass: Mac films himself doing stunts for his "Project Badass" videos in order to demonstrate how badass he is.
* LoveTriangle: Between Mac, Charlie and the Waitress, though it turns out that Mac isn't actually interested in her at all and just wants to get back at Charlie, while she's using him to destroy the sex tapes Dennis and Frank made of her. A platonic version also occurs with Mac, Dennis and Charlie.
* ManChild: Lampshaded by the Waitress when Mac asks if they can do "hand stuff".
-->'''Waitress:''' Oh my God, are you in junior high?
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Implied when Charlie wakes in Dennis's bed to find Mac's head under the covers at Dennis's crotch level and asks what exactly it is that he's seeing. Later, Dennis and Charlie hide in Charlie's bed and triumphantly throw the covers back when Mac and the Waitress enter the apartment, only for the Waitress to sarcastically point out that it looks like ''they're'' the ones that have been caught out.
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Dennis and Charlie decide to eavesdrop on Mac and the Waitress using their walkie-talkies, and tune in at just the right time to hear Mac state that they should dress as Dennis and Charlie to have sex (so that they can sneak in and out of Charlie's apartment unnoticed). They're understandably confused.
