9	----
10	!!This series contains examples of the following tropes:
11
12	* AbusiveParents: Del's father.
13	* ActionGirl: Del
14	* AgonyOfTheFeet: When attempting to liberate Wayne from Lee Murray, the over-zealous groundskeeper of a golf course, Del throws a running chainsaw at Lee, with the blade landing on his foot and cutting into it.
15	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: In the first season finale while driving a badly wounded Wayne away from the police station, Del is about to confess her love to Wayne when he interrupts her and says it first.
16	* AncestralWeapon: Wayne's signature ball-peen hammer used to belong to his father.
17	* AntiHero: Wayne himself solves problems by violence and is extremely pragmatic.
18	* ApatheticTeacher: Subverted with principal Cole. He is on the verge of not caring about his students and even admits to hating some of them. However, he still tries to help Wayne and goes after him when Wayne runs away to Florida.
19	* AxCrazy: Wayne may seem like this but he uses his violent acts for good.
20	* BatterUp: People get a great deal of mileage out of aluminum baseball bats throughout the series.
21	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sgt. Gellar is a big believer in second chances, and treats many with respect who certainly do not act worthy of it. [[spoiler: However, he is ''very'' tatted up underneath those Tommy Bahama shirts, and if you give him a reason he'll be forced to demonstrate the fighting skills he picked up in a Thailand prison.]]
22	* BigDamnHeroes: In the second episode, after the golf course caretaker takes wayne prisoner for trespassing on the green, Del busts into the maintenance shed where's he tied up and menaces the caretaker and his Vegan Satanist girlfriend with a [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]].
23	* BlackComedy
24	* ChainsawGood: Turns out Del is a self-taught chainsaw wielding badass thanks to her dad leaving firewood cutting duties to her.
25	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Wayne is perpetually compelled to intervene whenever he perceives an injustice.
26	* CombatPragmatist: Wayne has no qualms about utilizing foreign objects or resorting to [[ManBitesMan biting]] in order to win a fight.
27	* CoolCar: Wayne's primary goal is to retrieve his father's '79 Trans-Am from the asshole who his mother ran off with.
28	* CoolBike: After a fashion. Wayne's beat up old two stroke road bike may not be the hottest set of wheels, but it still manages to be pretty cool.
29	* ClusterFBomb: This probably has more swear words than any show outside HBO.
30	* {{Cloudcuckooland}}: Pretty much everyone on the show is some degree of crazy.
31	* CutShort: The show was not renewed for a second season, leaving much of the story unresolved.
32	* ADeathInTheLimelight: [=S1E5=] "''Del''" introduces us to [[spoiler: Donna, Del's previously unseen mother. Her death is what crosses the Luccetti household past their DespairEventHorizon and drives Del's father to become an [[AbusiveParents abusive parent.]]]]
33	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: [[spoiler:Wayne [=McCullough=], Sr's]] death in the pilot serves as the catalyst for the series' events. Noone seems to have a bad word to say about him and every one is really sorry that he got sick.
34	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Wayne says that coffee is the worst thing he's ever drank.
35	* DrivenToSuicide [[spoiler: Del jumps into a pool with her clothes on and sits at the bottom after discovering that her mom died in a freak accident.]]

37	* FiveFingerFillet: Wayne gets challenged to a game by the golf course groundskeeper's Vegan Satanist girlfriend. He has [[ImpaledPalm an interesting interpretation]] of doing what she does faster and better.
38	* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Sgt. Gellar sports this look as civilian attire while travelling to Florida.
39	* HighPressureBlood: Del, in a psychotic break, causes this at a school blood drive by stabbing blood packs with a pencil and ripping tubes out of people's arms.
40	* ItRunsInTheFamily: Principal Cole pleads with Wayne to not throw away his life solving other people's problems like his father, Wayne Sr., did.
41	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Wayne definitely isn’t the nicest kid to be around but he stays sticking up for the helpless.
42	* MissingMom: Both Wayne and Del are victims of this.
43	* MsFanservice: Del is very attractive and spends a lot of episodes 3 and 5 in a bikini.
44	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If Del wasn’t such a “thoughtful bitch” by sending a happy birthday text to her twin moronic brothers, they would have grown a backbone and beat up their father. They were clearly tired of being pushed around and mocked by their father and their shared birthday was giving them motivation to stand-up for themselves. Once she sent that text, they cooled off and went right back to following their father. [[spoiler: It would have stopped them from catching up to Wayne and Del in the last episode.]]
45	* PhraseCatcher: "What the fuck, Wayne!?"
46	* PoliceAreUseless: Subverted with Sgt. Gellar. At first it looks like he is a clueless cop who will blow off the case. However, we then find out that he is a very skilled investigator who was being distracted by a potential cancer diagnosis. Once he finds out that he does not have cancer, he tries to make up for his previous inaction. He figures out that Cole's dog was poisoned and then uses his vacation time to go after Wayne because he does not want Wayne to ruin his life.
47	* {{Southies}}: Most of the characters. (incorrect most of the characters are from Brockton which is culturally similar to southie but a distinct city to the south of Boston.)
48	* TitleDrop: Each episode's title is taken from a line of dialog in that episode.
49	* TookALevelInJerkass: Del's father wasn't always a Jerkass if the flashback has shown.
50	* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Officer Jay has a particular love for soup, even hosting a live-streaming internet show called "[[{{Pun}} Cop-A-Soup]]."
51	* VikingFuneral: After his father's death, Wayne sets fire to his house.
52	* WindowPain: The series opens with Wayne chucking a hunk of ice through a guy's window.
