* {{Hypocrisy}}: Dumass Beach states a desire to fill his prison with rapists, but at the same time engages in constant sexual harassment against his female employees. He also tries to downplay the AttemptedRape by the predators in "Date Night" as "Boys will be boys".

* ForWantOfANail: Pretty much the crux of "The Sacrifice". The old man explains to Henry that if Emmett Till chooses to live instead of die, then his sacrifice will never occur and the civil rights movement will not progress to the point where Henry has a choice at all.

* GoneHorriblyRight: In "The Medium", the gangbangers want PhonyPsychic John Lloyd to contact the spirit of dead pimp Cliff Bettis, as he died before they could learn where he'd stashed his cash. John succeeds, but perhaps the gangbangers should have pondered the wisdom of contacting the spirit of a man they murdered...

* GuttedLikeAFish: In "Good Golly", Golly Gee kills Philip by disemboweling him [[WhipItGood with a bullwhip]].

* WhipItGood: In "Good Golly", Golly Gee bullwhips Philip to death via disembowelment.

When the museum owner refuses to sell the doll to her, explaining how “slave owners used to brand people, but when people became free, they used pen, ink, and art to brand people in new ways”, Audrey argues that the doll isn’t offensive simply because she grew up with one in her household. Still, the curator sticks to his guns, so Audrey takes it upon herself, along with her brother Phillip (Andy Cohen) and a reluctant Zoe to break into the place after dark and steal what she deems rightfully hers. When the doll comes to life and grows to human size, Audrey's decision becomes one she’ll regret the rest of her life – although to be fair, as a result of her ignorance, she doesn’t have much longer to live.

* BiblicalMotifs: ''The Sacrifice'' has some similarities as the legend of Saint Peter, which involved st. Peter fleeing Rome to avoid persecution for being a christian under the law of Emperor Nero. After fleeing Rome, st. Peter sees a vision of Jesus Christ and asks "Domine quo vadis?" (meaning "Lord, where are you going?") to which Jesus responds by saying that he is returning to Rome to be crucified again (Peter is dishonouring his sacrifice by abandoning his faith), which makes Peter return to Rome so he may carry out his faith despite the fear of execution. In ''The Sacrifice'', Henry Bradley is seen as a coward for siding with William Cotton, a racist politician who is damaging the black districts. This act of cowardice causes Emmett Till to undo his own death (which in turn prevented future acts for the Civil Rights Movement) because Henry is dishonouring Emmett Till's sacrifice for the greater good. The damage is only undone when Henry sacrifices himself for the cause.

Multiple golliwog dolls then burst out of her stomach. As more Gollys are born, Audrey dies.]]

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: CorruptCorporateExecutive Dumass Beach pronounces his name 'DUE-mahs Beach'. The Robo-Patriot robot keeps calling him "Dumbass Bitch".

** As for the FramingDevice, Dumass Beach may as well have been called [[{{Expy}} Tonald Drump]] for all the subtlety he had by the end of the movie.

** "The Medium" has a PhonyPsychic [[spoiler:get hijacked by a generous former pimp's soul]], and eventually kill a trio of robbers who were holding a woman hostage.
