* TheWoobie: Despite the fact that Old Christine is a crazy drunk, she really does just want to everyone to have a good time, such as when she tried to take everyone on a vacation or teach her son's class how to ride the subway. The only problem is that everyone in the world apparently '''hates''' her.
** JerkassWoobie: Many times she is shown to be selfish, petty, and mean, whether she means it or not, but yet since her life suck most of the time, you can't help but feel sorry for her.

* {{Deconstruction}}: The show sometimes goes and zig zags this. It sometimes shows how really ugly can Old Christine's life get, if she's always as neurotic and stressed as she is. Mainly, almost everyone in-universe can state that she is going insane, and she's almost always having an eye tic whenever she's really getting into it. Whether this is the actress's performance, or a Christine's quirk, it's not stated. However, Christine ended up going on therapy, so it's probably true, Christine IS crazy. This is all, of course, played for laughs, but if there weren't any laugh track, she would be something to worry about.
