- Lipstick Lesbian: Charlie thinks Judith is this considering how feminine she's dressed and mistakes a tomboyish woman next to her for her date. Then Phil walks in.
- No Bisexuals: Again, no one considers the possibility of Judith being possibly bi when she's discovers on a date with Jake's male soccer coach Phil despite being gay.Alan: You're dating Phil, how can you be dating Phil?!Judith: Well, Alan, he asked me out...Alan: What about the whole "gay thing"?! I mean, did you even give that a chance?!
