8!!Tropes associated with Connolly's work include:
9
10* AnachronicOrder: ''Gotti'' jumps back and forth in time often, with there being little rhyme or reason as to the order.
11* BasedOnATrueStory: ''Gotti'', naturally enough, focuses on the titular mobster and his family.
12* BreakingTheFourthWall / NoFourthWall:
13** The regular story-line of Gotti and Gotti Jr.'s lives gets interrupted by Gotti appearing in a meta-character sense, in which he even comments on his own death.
14** ''Series/UnhappilyEverAfter'' also has this as a core element, with characters acknowledging openly that an audience is watching them on a TV show.
15* DefiantToTheEnd: The titular protagonist of ''Gotti'' states that every bit of time he lives through his cancer is a moment that he keeps pissing off the U.S. government by staying around.
16* DenserAndWackier: ''Unhappily Ever After'' out as a fairly standard sitcom only to evolve into something like a live-action cartoon.
17* TheUnfavorite: Connolly's ''Unhappily Ever After'' character is this in spades.
