* AxCrazy: Downplayed compared to how he was portrayed by Creator/BruceGreenwood in ''Summer Dreams'', but Dennis' portrayal in ''An American Family'' has a few examples, as he bashes Debra's car with a baseball bat when she catches him cheating and decides to leave him, and also drunkenly injures his hand when he punches a glass window at the studio, right after his bandmates warn him about the Manson Family.

The latter incident actually happened (Dennis was unable to drum for a year afterward), although it happened in 1971, long after Dennis had disassociated with the Family and they'd murdered Sharon Tate.

* OnlySaneMan: Carl is this, both in the band and in the Wilson family, as he frequently tries to keep things together and isn't affected by the same demons that his brothers, cousin, and father are.

* AllGuitarsAreStratocasters: Ironically, the film plays this trope straight by trying to avert the name. The guitarists in the band are depicted as playing models that they've never played in real life nor were associated with the Surf Rock genre. Early in the film, Carl is seen playing a Danelectro Shorthorn instead of his Fender Stratocaster or Jaguar, and Al/David is seen playing an unknown model that is decisively ''not'' a Stratocaster, which is what they were always seen playing. Semi-averted later in the film, where we finally see Carl and Al playing a Jaguar and a Stratocaster respectively during a performance of "Little Deuce Coupe" (their axes of choice at the time), yet David is playing a Gibson ES-335.

** Semi-averted with Brian. He's always seen playing a Fender Precision Bass, but in earlier scenes, he's seen playing a 1950s model, when he is usually seen in real life playing a later late 50s-60s model. Completely averted in the aforementioned "Little Deuce Coupe" segment, where he's playing a 60s Precision Bass like in real life.
