6----
7!!This episode provides examples of:
8* BaitAndSwitch: ''The Fat Abbott Show'' was supposedly an innocent, family-friendly show. Stan and Kyle are impressed with what kind of content it shows.
9* BigWhat: Stan says this when Bebe asks him to shove a stick into his penis [[TemptingFate after he said "dare"]].
10* BorrowedCatchPhrase: Cartman says Stan's "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" since he was killed inside their clubhouse party. Kyle who happens to be walking past the clubhouse at the time shouts "You bastard!" in response.
11* ClusterFBomb: ''The Fat Abbott Show'' is mostly this. Stan and Kyle are pretty happy about this.
12-->'''Fat Abbott:''' Hey, Hey, Hey! What's goin' on Rudy?\
13'''Rudy:''' Man, Fat Abbott, you need to lose weight.\
14'''Fat Abbott:''' I'll lose weight when I feel like it, ''bitch!'' Shut yo bitch ass mouth, ''ho!''\
15'''Rudy:''' Bitch! I'll kick yo ass.\
16'''Kyle:''' WHOA DUDE!\
17'''Stan:''' SWEET!\
18'''Fat Abbott:''' You think you slick, you punk ass blasphemous dope-fiend ''bitch?!'' I had my Jimmy waxed seven times last week, I'll bust a cap in your *beep* ass *beep* head!\
19'''Kyle:''' Wow, cartoons are getting really dirty.
20* CountryMatters:
21-->'''Randy:''' Hey, back off, bitch!\
22'''Sharon:''' ''[gasps]'' You just said the C-word!\
23'''Randy:''' Did I?
24** In the original SD version, the word "bitch" is [[CensoredForComedy bleeped out]] in this scene. It is uncensored in the HD version.
25* DirtyKid: Bebe is a rare female version, since she won't stop gawking at Kyle's ass.
26* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This episodes marks the first time where Butters receives any lines of dialogue (aside from a brief scream heard in "Damien"). However, his voice is completely different from his modern Southern accent and is done with a nasally inflection a la Clyde or Craig.
27* FemaleGaze: Bebe develops an affinity for Kyle's butt.
28* FirstKiss: Bebe gives Kyle his first kiss, he then [[GirlsHaveCooties freaks out and runs away]].
29* HardTruthAesop: InUniverse. Fat Abbott tells his friend Yolanda that the best way to solve the situation with her abusive step-father is to get rid of him by "snatching his ass in a bear trap", and then leave him to die from exposure. Stan later uses this advice to get rid of Roy.
30-->'''Creator/BillCosby {{Expy}}:''' Well, Fat Abbott and the gang sure did learn something today. If you have a stepdad ridin' your ass, just snatch his ass in a bear trap! ''Crank!'' No more stepdad.
31* HypocriticalHumor: Randy tells Stan he and Sharon still love Stan and Shelly but they no longer love each other so they decided to split. Stan asks if he can leave [[BigSisterBully Shelly]] since he doesn't love her but Randy says he can't because they're family and family has to stay together. Stan points out that when Randy married Sharon, they became family and should follow the same rules. Randy just brushes this off.
32* ItsAllAboutMe:
33** Sharon is a selfish bitch in this episode after kicking Randy out. Randy's not so great either.
34** The 16-year-old girls that stay in the clubhouse are like this too.
35* KickTheDog: Sharon [[NeverMyFault explicitly blames the divorce]] on Stan, which (as he says) is not something one should tell a child.
36* LaserGuidedKarma: Roy will likely die of hunger and thirst since Stan hung him somewhere no one can find him.
37* MistakenForGay: When Stan reads Bebe's note to the class, everybody thinks it's HIS note.
38* MoodSwinger: Roy goes from trying to be Stan's friend to yelling at him really quickly.
39* MurderIsTheBestSolution: ''The Fat Abbott Show'' claims this to be the case when dealing with abusive step-parents.
40* OutOfCharacterMoment: Kenny actually objects to picking up chicks upon Cartman's request. You'd think someone as perverted as him would be all for it.
41* ShoutOut:
42** ''The Fat Abbott Show'' serves as this to ''WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids''.
43** Fat Abbott's "You punk-ass blasphemous dope-fiend bitch!" line is taken from ''Film/NewJackCity''.
44* StartMyOwn: Cartman's response to Stan and Kyle not letting him be part of their clubhouse. Kenny ends up doing most of the construction.
45* SubvertedKidsShow: Sharon introduces Stan to ''Fat Abbott'', thinking it's wholesome entertainment. Turns out the show mainly consists of ethnic slurs, swearing and {{Broken Aesop}}s.
46* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Kenny is trampled to death during a party in Cartman's clubhouse when they form a moshpit. Cartman even gets to say "Oh, my god, they killed Kenny!" with Kyle randomly passing by to say "You bastards!"
47* TreehouseOfFun: The kids build a treehouse to play Truth or Dare in. Randy and Sharon both remembering playing in a treehouse is part of the subplot.
48* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Roy's caught in a snare trap and left dangling from the tree at the end of the episode.
49* YankTheDogsChain: Stan finally gets to have an uninterrupted game of Truth or Dare with Wendy and Bebe ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg also Clyde]]), but the latter dares him to shove a stick in his penis instead of making him kiss Wendy.
