* GetRichQuickScheme: Very downplayed. Al doesn't have the money to buy a new TV, so he auditions for ''Touchdown Trivia'' in the hopes of buying one with his winnings. He's not pulling a con or trying to get enough money to quit working, just trying to legally get some quick cash for something he wants.
* MrExposition: Jefferson tells both Al and the audience about the ''Touchdown Trivia'' game show when he learns that Al needs money for a new TV.

* BittersweetEnding: Kelly loses the thousand dollars they won on the game show but they get a new TV as a consolation prize which is what Al wanted the whole time

to:

* BittersweetEnding: Kelly loses the thousand dollars they won misses out on the game show $10,000 grand prize, but they get she gets a new TV as one of her {{ConsolationPrize}}s. This was actually what Al was hoping to buy with his winnings when he applied for the show.
* TheBore: Al originally auditioned for the show himself to buy
a new TV with the money he'd win, but he's rejected when his massive knowledge of sports trivia shows the producers that he clearly has no life at all.
* ConsolationPrize: Kelly fails the final segment of the show where she could've won $10,000, but she gets several
consolation prize prizes instead. One of them is a TV, which is what Al wanted hoped to buy with his winnings when he auditioned for the whole timeshow.



* CurbStompBattle: When Al auditions for the ''Touchdown Trivia'' game show, he has a mock episode with two other applicants. He utterly demolishes his rivals, only missing out on a women's golf question, which he doesn't consider a sport anyway.



* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: If the host hadn't told Kelly how to work the buzzer (her brain was full) she wouldn't have been able to buzz in, but by telling her she lost the fact she needed to win the $10,000

Notably, it was the ''one fact'' she knew before Al taught her all his sports knowledge, the fact that [[spoiler:he scored four touchdowns in one game for Polk High]] that she forgot.
* MySkullRunnethOver: Played for laughs when Kelly's brain becomes "full". She even has steam coming out of her ears when it's overheating.

The "Harsher in Hindsight" trope is YMMV and moved to the corresponding section.
