4 | !This episode provides examples of the following tropes: |
5 | |
6 | * FishOutOfWater: Will's casual attitude and street slang immediately put him at odds with his wealthy and formal uncle, aunt, and cousins, particularly Carlton, who are usually shocked by his behavior. |
7 | * HiddenDepths: After being embarrassed by Will's uncouth nature at dinner, Philip is impressed seeing his nephew play [[Music/LudwigvanBeethoven Für Elise]] on the piano. |
8 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Philip reveals to Will near the end of the episode that he knows exactly what it was like to live on the streets, having grown up in UsefulNotes/{{Baltimore}}. |
9 | -->'''Philip:''' Let me tell you something, son. I grew up on the streets just like you. I encountered bigotry you could not imagine. Now, you have a nice poster of UsefulNotes/MalcolmX on your wall. I heard the brother speak. I read ''every'' word he wrote. Believe me; I ''know'' where I come from. |
10 | -->'''Will:''' ''(Genuinely surprised)'' You actually heard Malcolm speak, man? |
11 | -->'''Philip:''' That's right. So before you criticize somebody, you find out what he's all about. |
12 | * RidiculousProcrastinator: Geoffrey the butler puts off opening the door for as long as possible while hearing Will beatboxing on it. |
13 | * SingingInTheShower: Will and Ashley overhear Carlton putting on an entire concert in one at the end of the episode, to their amazement. |
