* ScrewedByTheNetwork: How the show and both movies were treated in the US. The show was picked up by BBC America, airing in a heavily censored version, and canceled after just two episodes, the first movie got dumped into regional release (in New York City and Los Angeles only) and the second movie went straight-to-DVD.

* TheDanza: Many of the supporting cast share first, last, or both names with characters they portray.

* CultClassic: While hugely popular in its native Canada, it was virtually unknown outside of it. With the show now on Netflix and YouTube, through word of mouth has developed a strong cult following in the states and elsewhere.

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Man]]: Bubbles tends to be one of the smarter and more law-abiding residents of Sunnyvale. This is mentioned in "The Bible Pimp", when a Bible salesman asks if Bubbles is crazy and Ray tells him Bubbles is "The sharpest guy in the park".

An eighth season has been released in its entirety on Netflix, with a ninth season on the way.

** Leahy's daughter seemed to fall under this after her appearances in Season 2. She's never seen or mentioned again, even after Barb moves in with him and Randy.

* FreezeFrameBonus: In Season 7, Bubbles is reading a note on a sheet of paper. At the bottom of the paper is an extra sentence that Bubbles doesn't read out, and is only on-screen for an instant. It reads "[[BreakingTheFourthWall If you are freeze framing this on DVD]] [[YouMakeMeSic your]] [[TakeThatAudience fucked]]!"

* RunningGag: - including:
** Randy has almost never been seen with a shirt on. Even in the episodes that take place in winter.

** Randy (and Phil, in the later seasons) and Cheeseburgers

** When Ricky says "Smokes" and someone (usually Cory and Trevor) give him their cigarettes.

** Randy always taking off his pants (or trying to) before he fights Ricky.

--> ''He's playing sexy hardball with us, Randy.''

** Ricky falling when trying to run. Also people throwing things.

** Subverted again, albeit in another way, in the third season episode "If I Can't Smoke And Swear I'm Fucked" and in "The Big Dirty" movie when Ricky fires the court-appointed attorney and defends himself and the rest of the crew. In "If I Can't Smoke And Swear I'm Fucked", he gets the judge to acquit them all except for [[ButtMonkey Cory and Trevor]]. In "The Big Dirty", he not only gets the judge to let them all go except for Cory and Trevor, but also convinces the ''prosecutor'' to let them keep the money they had on them, since there was no evidence the cash was stolen.

*** The one thing that could possibly point to some level of continuity between ''Don't Legalize It'' and Season 8 is the tremendous amount of weed Ricky has at the season's opening, as he was granted a government permit to grow weed at the end of ''Don't Legalize It'' and talks in Season 8's first episode about enjoying his "retirement."

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Season 8 introduces Randy's new assistant Don (not to be confused with Donny, the "WHAT IN THE FUCK?!" guy), as well as his "sister" Donna, who is obviously Don in drag. It's mostly PlayedForLaughs since Randy is the only one who doesn't figure it out right away and gets into a relationship with Donna thinking she really is a different person. [[spoiler:It turns out this is a case of SplitPersonality. Don's real sister died years ago, and he has no idea that he dresses up and pretends to be her. Randy decides that what Don doesn't know won't hurt him and continues to see Donna.]]

* LimitedWardrobe: Most of the cast, minus the girls. Ricky wears exactly one outfit a season (track pants and a colorful shirt), Julian always wears a form fitting black muscle t-shirt and black pants, Bubbles is always in a flannel, Randy wears (nothing but) a pair of too-tight white pants, Leahey's park supervisor uniform (until he's reinstated as a cop, then he's almost never seen out of uniform).

An eighth season has been announced, and a third movie ''Don't Legalize It'' was released.

* DownerEnding: Pretty much all the seasons end with the boys [[spoiler:going to jail]], but the series finale special took it's. Step further: [[spoiler:not on,y are they locked up, but Randy and Jim have both succeeded in winning against the boys' schemes.]]

* CourtroomAntic: Any time Ricky is in a courtroom. Besides interrupting people with no regard for legal process, it's established that he simply cannot think clearly unless he can smoke and swear, enough so that a judge allows him to do both in court so he can properly make his arguments. This gets a CallBack in ''Live from Fuckin' Dublin'', where he swears in a courtroom in Ireland, prompting the judge to tell him to "stop fucking swearing", but both him and the judge do so for the rest of scene, and the judge rants at Ricky about [[RefugeInAudacity how he should have bought drugs in Ireland instead of bringing them in]].
