** Lem has it pretty rough too. He gets the suspicious treatment from the family because of his criminal past and tries to prove that he’s not that guy anymore by living the straight path and but due to his criminal past he gets fired from his job and tries to find another job so that he won’t be seen as a mooched and gets turned down. When he finally does have some success in getter by another job, Bird’s ex Sim gloats at him about how him and Bird used to fuck and implicates that they still are, which leads to Lem kicking his ass and getting fired from his job. After a unpleasant confrontation with Bird in which her friends think that he beat Bird, Teri calls up one of their in and out of jail cousins to deal with Lem and it ends up him getting arrested again for parole violation.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Ironically, it plays out more like Family-''Friendly''. Career-focused Teri is on her second marriage, which is itself in serious trouble and she's such a bitch that when her husband cheats on her, our sympathies are clearly supposed to be with him. Meanwhile, second sister Maxine is a HappilyMarried housewife and mother of three kids. It's not hard to assume the writers are implying that career women are bad while stay-at-home mom's are good.
** Also, Bird's (admittedly underhanded) efforts to help Lem find a job by asking her ex-boyfriend to give him one. Lem is furious when he finds out and the whole situation blows up. . .and everyone makes ''Bird'' out to be in the wrong and chews her for not letting Lem "be a man" and find his own job. The idea of a woman helping a man is made out to be something utterly abhorrent.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' famously ragged on the film's ending, in which the family holds a memorial dinner for their matriarch by eating the exact same kind of greasy, cholesterol-filled food that killed her.

** Additionally, everyone criticizes her for being career focused. Note how Big Mama completely dismisses her law degree and the fact that she made partner in her firm--an incredible accomplishment--only seeing the fact that she's on her second marriage, in stark contrast to Maxine, a HappilyMarried housewife and mother of three. Yet they all clearly enjoy the perks of said career, expecting her to pay for everything--Bird's wedding, Bird's business, Big Mama's hospital bills--to the point where they don't even bother to formally ask her.
