!This episode provides examples of the following tropes:
* AndCallHimGeorge: At one point Charlie takes a dead pigeon out of his jacket and drops it on the table. He claims it was alive to begin with, but he "might've hugged it a little too hard".
* BlatantLies: Dee insists to her therapist that she was the first choice for the female lead in ''Film/TheNotebook'' but had to decline due to a scheduling conflict.
* BodyHorror: Frank states that he got his first kiss at the "nitwit school" from a girl with no lips.
* BottleEpisode: The entire episode takes place in the therapist's office and waiting area.
* ButtMonkey: Discussed, as Charlie admits that while he generally enjoys "Charlie work", he hates the rest of the gang telling him what to do and treating him like crap.
* CallBack: Dennis does another of his [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS03E05TheAluminumMonsterVsFattyMagoo pornographic]] [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E02TheGangSolvesTheGasCrisis drawings]] for the therapist.
* ContinuityNod:
** Dennis mentions that he has an [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS01E07CharlieGotMolested academic background in psychology]].
** Charlie says that he likes [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS06E12DeeGivesBirth getting naked in the sewers]] and asks the therapist if it's weird that he's [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS03E01TheGangFindsADumpsterBaby an abortion survivor who shares a bed with a man who might be his father]], or that he [[Recap/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS04E09DennisReynoldsAnEroticLife eats cat food to go to sleep]].
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Charlie misunderstands pretty much everything the therapist says to him.
-->'''Therapist:''' Being comfortable in your own skin is never a bad thing.
-->'''Charlie:''' Oh my God. Right, okay, so if I got like, more skin or something, I could like never do a bad thing in my life? And maybe I ''have'' never done a bad thing, 'cause I have a lot of skin.
* ControlFreak: Dennis reveals that he's been keeping "psychological dossiers" on the rest of the gang, having started Dee's when they were in the ''second grade''.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Mac asks the therapist if she can make him "more bigger".
* DescriptionCut:
-->'''Dennis:''' You are gonna want to strap in for this next one.
-->''(Cut to Charlie in the therapist's office, repeatedly banging his head against the wall)''
* DysfunctionJunction: Lampshaded, with the therapist calling the gang a highly dysfunctional group of people.
* FetusTerrible: Played for laughs; Frank claims that Dennis and Dee ate their third "twin" in utero.
* FreudWasRight: Mac spots a pen lying on the table and accuses the therapist of leaving it there to make him think it looks like a dick. He then spends the rest of his session stroking and sucking on it.
* FreudianExcuse: It's revealed that Frank was sent to a school for mentally disabled children at some point in his childhood, which probably explains a lot of his behavior as an adult.
* HeManWomanHater: Mac admits that he doesn't really get the whole "woman doctor" thing.
* HiddenDepths: Charlie shows a surprising awareness of just how bizarre his own behavior is, stating that he's "probably even weirder than someone from Saturn". Mac also seems to be aware at least on some level of how toxic the gang really is, admitting that he sometimes thinks they're not even really his friends.
* IAteWhat: The gang's reactions when Charlie reveals that he served them pigeon -- ''not'' pheasant -- at their dinner party.
* IvyLeagueForEveryone: Averted; the therapist went to [=LaSalle=], something which Ivy League-educated Dennis takes great pleasure in being smugly condescending about.
* JabbaTableManners: Frank spends much of his session eating sunflower seeds and spitting the shells everywhere.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Dennis considers himself to be an expert in psychology and invites the therapist to think of him as a "peer", seemingly unaware that she's just humoring him.
* ManipulativeBastard: Dennis reveals that he secretly drugged Mac into losing all the weight he put on in the previous season because he "looked gross", giving him "size pills" -- actually Mexican ephedra -- and playing into his insecurities by implying that he's smaller than he really is to get him to take them.
* MoodSwinger: Mac goes from angry ranting to depression to maniacal laughter in the space of about a minute at the beginning of his session. Lampshaded by the therapist, who asks him whether this is normal.
* NWordPrivileges: Dee claims that somebody "dropped the N-bomb" at one point during their fight over the dishes.
* OnlySaneMan: While Charlie is far from sane, the therapist states that given the circumstances of his upbringing, he's probably the most well-adjusted of the gang. Subverted with Dennis; he clearly ''thinks'' he's this, but the episode makes it clear that he really, really isn't.
* OralFixation: Mac apparently has a habit of sucking on pens as a manifestation of his latent homosexuality. Dennis claims it's gotten so bad that he has to hide all the pens in their apartment.
* PrecisionFStrike: The therapist finally has enough and yells at Dee to "do the fucking dishes" at the end of the episode.
* SeriousBusiness: The gang seek a therapist's help to determine whose turn it is to
* ShoutOut: Dee does a bit from ''Film/GoodWillHunting'' while trying to impress the therapist with her acting skills.
* TheSociopath: Dennis shows yet more signs of this. In addition to drugging Mac and keeping detailed files on all his friends, he goes on at some length about the thrill of getting in someone's head and makes comments that imply he's capable of murder.
-->'''Dennis:''' It's like the thrill of being near the executioner's switch, knowing that at any moment, you could throw it, but knowing you never will... But you ''could.'' "Never" isn't the right word, because I could. And I might... I probably will.
* VillainousBreakdown: Frank is reduced to a sobbing mess after reliving his time in the "nitwit school", crying that the therapist "unzipped" him.
* WeightWoe: Inverted with Mac, who admits that he was happier when he was fat because people were scared of him. Both the therapist and Dennis suggest that he probably has some kind of body dysmorphia making him perceive himself as being smaller than he actually is.
