* ButtMonkey: Mr. Mackay loses his job for passing weed around the third grade class, gets ostracized by the town, evicted by his landlord who assaults him. He then ends up homeless and after he ends up married to a hippie woman, gets beaten up and kidnapped by the A-Team and forced into rehab.
* CharacterDevelopment: Once Kyle learns that Ike is adopted, he initially shuns him until Ike shows him photos of all of the time they've spent together, then comes to Kyle for protection when he's scared. This helps Kyle embrace Ike as his brother even if they're not related by blood and it stays that way for the entire series.



* RunningGag: The Boys all copying Mr. Mackey's speaking patterns and "m'kay" when he chastises them for talking in class.

* GoodAngelBadAngel: Parodied. When Mackey is pondering on whether to drink alcohol for the first time, his bad angel appears on his shoulder to encourage him to drink. Then his good angel appears, [[BaitAndSwitch and tells him to drink as well]], in a much meaner way to boot.
-->'''Devil:''' Go ahead. Drink the beer. It'll calm you down.\\
'''Angel:''' Yeah. Why the hell not? It's just a beer. Don't be such a pussy, m'kay?

* ItsPronouncedTroPay: Mr Mackey refers to cannabis as "Mary d'you wanna?".

* RuleOfSymbolism: When Mr Mackey embraces the hippy lifestyle, he loosens his tie, which not only causes his head to deflate to a proportionate size, but also makes him look younger. It's essentially saying that being an uptight white-collar type who avoided drugs didn't agree with him while taking drugs that would have loosened him up was actually just what he needed.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Literally invoked and subverted. This episode marks the first time "shit" has ever been said uncensored on the show. On the episode's original airing, Mr. Mackey's "I don't need to take your right-wing authoritative bullshit!" was said unbleeped. It was caught immediately and bleeped on all subsequent reruns and the Season 2 DVD release. But then, the uncensored line was finally heard again in the HD remastered version.
