11	!!This series provides examples of:
12
13	* AsHimself: The Big Show plays himself. Wrestling/MarkHenry, Wrestling/MickFoley, and Wrestling/{{Rikishi}} also make guest appearances as themselves.
14	* TheBigGuy: Paul towers everyone.
15	* ChristmasSpecial: Received one that also served as the SeriesFinale.
16	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Youngest daughter JJ has been described as a "future dictator" who has done things such as steal a boat and make it halfway to the Keys before turning around because she was "jonesin' for a PBJ".
17	* DaddysGirl: JJ adores Paul, with the two regularly spending time together.
18	* DagwoodSandwich: Paul makes himself a precariously tall late-night "Dad Sandwich". According to him, it's made up of 22 individual pieces.
19	* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Paul accidentally destroys a banister in a house Cassy is trying to sell.
20	* GentleGiant: Paul is shown as a friendly man who tries to get along with everybody. The one time he gets genuinely angry is after a mean coach needles him for an extended period.
21	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Emphasized by the fact that the Big Show is much taller than average. He towers over Cassy and his daughters.
22	* RealMenWearPink: He takes a liking to a sparkly top hat he wore while [[ItMakesSenseInContext auditioning to play Elton John]] in ''Film/Rocketman2019'' and asks to keep it. He later wears it when walking out for an exhibition match (along with a golden cape) which, Cassy notes, was how he wanted to dress while in the WWE, but management wouldn't let him.
23	* ScullyBox: [[invoked]] Cassy has to use a step ladder to get high enough to kiss Paul.
24	* ShortRunners: Only had eight episodes released on one day, plus a ChristmasSpecial released months later.
