* BaitTheDog: Marlene was thought by Boomhauer to be a sweet, wealthy woman to the point that he plans on proposing to her with his grandmother's wedding ring. Then as it turns out, Marlene wasn't the woman he thought he was but basically a mirror of himself only worse.
* BrickJoke: Boomhauer's bedroom plays music by Dido whenever he is in bed with a woman which happens when Boomhauer took Marlene to bed much to Bill's dismay to the point of beggin him to not play Dido. After Bill takes Boomhauer from his bed so he can help him get over his breakup, Hank and Dale leaves the bedroom before turning off the lights... which also plays Dido complete with disco ball.

* TheUnintelligible: Boomhauer's grandmother is this even to him, at least until she puts her teeth in. At which point she's still TheUnintelligible, but ''he'' can understand her.

* VitrolicBestBuds: Bill gets upset with Boomhauer landing Marlene first instead of him which led to the conflict between them for the episode. After Boomhauer gets his heart broken by Marlene, Bill even teases him about it since he had it coming for all the women he did the same to by treating them as flings. After witnessing how broken Boomhauer was when driven back home to his bed, Bill of all people goes to aid him and help him get over his heartbreak by telling from his experience which heals their friendship and gets Boomhauer back on his feet.

-->'''Bill''': I know how dark it is for you right now, curled up, lying in your own emotional vomit. You're in hell now Boomhauer, and the only way out is through a long dark tunnel. And you're afraid to go in, because there's a train coming at ya, carrying a box car full of heartbreak. Well let me tell you something, all you can do is let it hit you, and then try to find your legs. Mm-hmm. I know, I've taken that hit more times than I can remember. Look at me, Boomhauer. I'm fat and I'm old, and every day I'm just gonna wake up fatter and older! And somehow, I manage to drag this fat old bald bastard into the alley every day. I'm out there, digging holes, falling into them, climbing out, trying again. And tomorrow, I'm gonna hang outside at a ladies prison. And the first thing those lady cons are gonna see after twenty years, is me. Will I get one? Experience says no. Will I be out there next month? If I'm alive, you better believe it. (''Grabs Boomhauer's shoulder, his voice getting steadily louder'') You gotta get back up on that tanning bed, slip into a tight T-shirt, wash off some of that cologne, and get yourself out of that tunnel, ''and into some strange woman's bed!''

* LikeParentLikeChild: Boomhauer goes to get his mother's wedding ring to propose, and of course, his mother is every bit the garbled MotorMouth that he is.

* RayOfHopeEnding: Bill gives himself one. Not only did he get screwed out of a shot with that girl thanks to Boomhauer, it's not likely he had much of a shot anyway... but the episode ends with Bill outside a ladies' prison, with a bundle of flowers, looking to try and get lucky again. Bill may be a broken sad sack of a man, but he's still putting himself out there.

* KickTheDog: Luanne's one appearance in the episode has her tell Bobby, after Boomhauer breaks up with the ice cream lady, that he'll never eat ice cream again. [[KarmaHoudini No one ever calls her out]] on her {{Jerkass}} behavior to him.

I'm fat and I'm old, and every day I'm just gonna wake up fatter and older! And somehow, I manage to drag this fat old bald bastard into the alley everyday.
