* LikeGoesWithLike: Referenced in one episode, when Veronica has a date. When Eli asks if he's Asian, she says no and he (jokingly) calls her a racist.
* PromotedToParent: Inverted, it's the sons who are promoted to a guardian-esque role for their parents.
* SassySecretary: Veronica, Eli and Warner's assistant. She takes verbal abuse, but gives it just as much.
* StudioAudience: A rare modern example.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: When it comes to the business, Warner is the technician and Eli is the performer.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Between Eli and Veronica. And due to the cancellation, it will never be resolved.
* WorldOfHam: "Over-the-top" is the standard choice of delivery.
