Added DiffLines:

* FictionalFlag: The eponymous semi-fictional Colorado town has its own flag, which plays a major role in the episode. It depicts four white people lynching a black person, sparking outrage as Chef finds it racist, but most of the town doesn't seem to notice that it's anything unusual. The flag is eventually updated to a design where people of ''all'' colors hold hands... while lynching a black person.

* WhatAnIdiot: Kyle informs Kenny that he can't just eat an ''entire'' bowl of mints, which actually turn out to be antacid tablets, for dinner just because his family is poor:
'''You'd Expect:''' Kenny to at least look for something from a vending machine.\\
'''Instead:''' [[TheyKilledKennyAgain He spontaneously explodes]].

Also, I Ate What is not a character trope.

Added DiffLines:

* RuleOfSymbolism: Stan and Kyle seem to have been under this conception regarding the flag's imagery. The living figures are all white while the dead one is black.
* SelfDeprecation: Much like how the show's creators will try to take the middle ground on any issue regardless of how much sense it makes, public opinion of the town's flag seems to favour both sides, to an almost mindless degree in the case of one local. Chef angrily calls them out as indecisive.

** Stan & Kyle for not seeing what the problem with the original flag is. It turns out that they are so ''not'' racist that they didn't even register that the flag depicted four white men hanging a black man until it was specifically pointed out to them, they just saw four men hanging another man.
