** In one episode, Jane Lynch plays a gym teacher, this was before she became well known for her role as gym teacher Sue Sylvester in ''Series/{{Glee}}''.
** Eric [=McCormack=] plays a psychotherapist in this series, while in ''Series/Perception2012'', he plays a schizophrenic.
** In one episode when Christine is getting fat, she gains a lot of weight in her ass. Julia Louis-Dreyfus would later play a character in ''{{WesternAnimation/Onward}}'' who was the latest {{Creator/Pixar}} mother to embody the “[[HartmanHips built like a Pixar mom]]” meme.
** Fans of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse would be shocked to see [[Series/AgentsOfShield Agent Coulson]] and [[Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier the Contessa]] in a relationship.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: A meta-example occurred in 2006, when Julia Louis-Dreyfus won a Best Actress Emmy for her role on the show. The first thing she said when she got to the microphone? "Well, I'm not somebody who really believes in curses...but ''curse this, baby!''" It was a reference to "the ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' Curse," a supposed jinx on the careers of the main characters on the show. Not only did Louis-Dreyfus break and acknowledge the curse, she took a sledgehammer to it!

* HollywoodHomely: Old Christine's bordering-on-bombshell vavoomyness is totally ignored by everyone, even when she's in dresses that show off her hourglass shape and rocking eff me boots. Marley and Lindsay are always making fun of how she looks and New Christine [[InformedAttractiveness is supposed to be more attractive than she is.]]

* HollywoodPudgy: Downplayed. Christine’s weight gain in one episode is naturally played up as her having become colossal per sitcom humor; she’s grown a noticeable small belly and a larger ass but she otherwise is not that big. However, it’s pointed out that the bigger issue is that now Christine knows that she is susceptible to gaining weight at a rapid pace and could easily end up truly enormous and genuinely unhealthy before she knows it, hence why she needs to get a handle on it now while she can.

Ho Yay is for situations that fans like to interpret as homoerotic, not for jokes where the homoeroticism is blatant. The Scrappy is not for characters who are intentionally designed to be hated. Jerkass Woobie is incorrectly indented, listed under a super-trope and nattery.


* HoYay: Old Christine watches [[GirlOnGirlIsHot "lady porn"]] when she's upset. [[HeterosexualLifePartners She and Barb]] have also kissed onscreen, [[CitizenshipMarriage gotten married]], and have been confirmed to have had one sexual encounter.
* TheScrappy: [[AlphaBitch Marley]] and [[BetaBitch Lindsay]], intentionally.



** JerkassWoobie: Many times she is shown to be selfish, petty, and mean, whether she means it or not, but yet since her life sucks most of the time, you can't help but feel sorry for her.

** Richard is even more funny after you realize that he is played by Clark Gregg, who plays ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} Agent Coulson, also known as [[{{Film/Thor}} Son Of Coul]], in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

-->'''Richard''': How could you possibly act any ''less'' inhibited, Christine? [[spoiler: [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Kill me?]]]] [[note]] Though Coulson comes back from the dead afterwards...[[/note]]
