* ImprobablyPredictable: Terry initially declines to tell Gayle that she's only backstage chorus in her school's musical because it would just cause her to "freak out and scream the name of some random actor's erogenous zone and break something". Gayle denies she would do this, then immediately screams "STEVE BUSCEMI'S PENIS!" and slams her head through the kitchen counter she was cleaning when she hears the news.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Gayle likes dishing these out. When Dave brings home Jarlsberg cheese instead of Parmesan, she forces him to hand over all the paper from his fax machine and gives him the thinly-sliced cheese to use instead, telling him not to come back downstairs until he's faxed one to each of his most important coworkers. Her customary penalty for putting deli meat away without [[SuperOCD folding it]] is attaching a piece of the meat to the offender's car like a flag.

* SuperOCD: Gayle, by an inexplicable set of standards which include using a tape measure to gage the space between cookies on a cookie sheet, folding sliced deli meat retail-style, shampooing pineapples, and [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext shaving a stack of paper napkins]] after weighing them and deeming them too heavy.

Gayle is an AxCrazy, UpToEleven suburban housewife who loves Music/{{Yanni}}, couscous, couponing, Chobani yogurt, running her organization Mothers Against Road Head with her neighbors/rivals Bonnie and Linda, ''Film/TheBigChill'', and flirting with the town orthodontist, Bruce. She lives a disciplined life, waking up at 5 AM to power walk every day, insisting on taking her groceries from Whole Foods into the house in one trip to the point of [[SeriousBusiness dislocating her shoulder]] to be able to carry the milk in, and kidnapping an SAT tutor and chaining him to the radiator for most of her daughter's life so she would get into an UsefulNotes/IvyLeague school. [[BerserkButton Don't even think about trying to steal from her couscous stash]].

* HollywoodNewEngland: [[UpToEleven More or less the idea of the entire series.]] While it's [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield unclear where in Massachusetts]] Northbread actually is, the episodes tackle [[SeriousBusiness the daily struggles]] of an upper middle class New England family. See Serious Business below.

*** Once when Gayle was desperate trying to pronounce Channing Tatum's name in front of a couple from the new development, Bonnie (who was spying on her with binoculars) comes over to help. She too fails to pronounce it. At least they share in their humiliation together.

** Though considering how unbearable Reggie is, it's possible Gayle blocked out early memories of him. Problem solved.
