* RelationshipLabelingProblems: There's a RunningGag that Mickey won't label her relationship with LoveInterest Jimmy, despite the latter living with her. In the Season One finale, Mickey has to shoot Jimmy in order to cover up the fact that Chip accidentally shot his Dad. Jimmy agrees to do this, but only if they put a label on their relationship. Even under these circumstances, Mickey is still reluctant to label their relationship and tells Jimmy to ask her for something else. This gag is brought up again in Season Two when it's discovered that Sabrina is seeing another girl. When she refuses to say she's a lesbian, Mickey chastises her generation for having an [[HypocriticalHumor aversion to labels]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: After the entire episode being verbally, mentally, and physically abusive to Sabrina and forcing Chip to solely care for his severely disabled grandfather in the way of feeding and bathing him, their grandmother is in the middle of telling Mick she will never see any of the Pemberton's money after calling her (Mick's) sister a whore when she slips on the floor and goes down like a sack of bricks hard enough to shatter both her hips. She last seen being loaded into an ambulance moaning in agony.

* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Sabrina (a girl with long hair who likes to wear blouses, skirts or dresses pretty often, while having traditionally feminine interests) is with Alexis, a short-haired {{lesbian jock}} in "The Juice" who's only shown wearing her uniform and workout clothing. They don't last long however.

* ACupAngst: Sabrina's small breast size is referenced several times over the course of the show, to her annoyance.

* CallBack: CallBack:
** When Poodle sarcastically asks if the kids have received any new tattoos or piercings while she's been away, Chip and Sabrina exchange an uncomfortable look. This is a callback to several episodes prior, where Chip discovers that the woman in the photograph [[SurpriseIncest he's been lusting after]] is Sabrina based on her new unicorn tattoo.

Added DiffLines:

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When the 17-year-old Sabrina says that she wants breast implants to help her look more mature, Mickey cracks, "You already look 25!" Sabrina's actress Sofia Black-D'elia was 25 during filming.

Added DiffLines:

* HomageShot: In one scene, Mick tries to stop the relationship between her new friend and Jimmy from dating during a wedding. She causes a scene from an interior balcony. This is a nod to ''Film/TheGraduate''. Of course, it's more comic because Micky falls one and a half stories and she is pretty overdramatic for breaking up a relationship during a wedding.
