* ContrivedCoincidence: It's awfully convenient that the man trying to steal Alex Mason's chip also happened to be the corrupt wrestling promoter who saw Sean blacklisted from the business.


Added DiffLines:

* MissingMom: Alex Mason's wife passed away two years before the events of the film. Alex Jr. and Kate (especially Kate) are struggling to adjust.

* DoubleStandardViolenceChildOnAdult: Few gags depend on this. Some of the pranks that the two kids carry on on Sean include using a [[HollywoodMagnetism supermagnet]] when he's working out to mess with his 200+ pound barbell before letting it fall down from the ceiling. He dodges it in time, but it could have easily killed him. They also rig a device to electrocute him in the bathroom when he steps out of the shower. Of course, it's played for laughs because of the use of AmusingInjuries.
