Tropes for the series:
- Alliterative Title: Blood Bath.
- Big Applesauce: Takes place in the Upper East Side of NYC.
- One-Word Title:
- Omakase.
- Brooklandia.
- Crushed.
- Dadderall.
- Ponzi: In the season 2 finale, the ultra-wealthy of New York discover the man they've been investing in "Pulled a Madoff". Keeping with the show's satirical tone, many of these people are still very well off but consider being dropped into a lower tax bracket to be the same as poverty. ironically, main character Jill (long looked down on for not being as rich as her neighbors) and her husband are okay as they were never wealthy enough to be invited to invest with the guy. Sadly, Jill's mother-in-law put in almost everything she had and is now flat broke.
- Riches to Rags:
- Played with when a Ponzi scheme costs several of the ultra-rich in Manhattan millions. Keeping with the show's sarcastic tone, many of these people are still incredibly wealthy but consider falling into a slightly lower tax bracket to be the same as poverty. For example, on man goes to a grief counselor for his yacht while a woman seriously compares to having to decide which to sell off to Sophie's Choice. It's mentioned that hospitals in New York are now filled with people suffering burns and cuts from having to make their own meals for the first time.
- Played straight with Jill's mother-in-law who invested nearly everything in this fund and now has to live with Jill and her family (and clearly no idea how to handle a life without servants).
- The Show of the Books: Based on Jill Kargman's book Momzillas.
- Tagline: "She doesn't quite clique".
