* KickTheDog: Brian has several moments like this, including [[DomesticAbuse shoving Penny to the floor]], spitefully revealing to Dawn that she's an illegitimate child born from her mother's affair with a German before ranting about how he'll get her house as a result, admitting during an argument that he doesn't love his wife, and dismissing Yusef's death as self-defence after dumping his body.

Added DiffLines:
* PoorCommunicationKills: Ralph's first thought when Yusef appears is that he's come to take him away (presumably to either a hospital or Heaven). In the confusion that follows, no-one thinks to reassure him that isn't the case, and he ends up panicking and skewering Yusef with a gardening fork.

* AmbiguousEnding: Penny either has a visitation from Jesus or goes insane and starts hallucinating in the final scene.
* ArtisticLicenceLaw: Brian apparently thinks he's living in UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain and illegitimate children are still banned from inheriting, as he brags that he'll get Mick and Dawn's house once Ralph dies now that Dawn has been found to not actually be Ralph's daughter.
* BaitAndSwitch: From the setup, you would assume Mick and Dawn to be the ones who would react negatively to Yusuf's presence; however despite being ignorant to a certain degree (offering him milk and bread as you would a wild animal) they express no bigotry or hatred towards him...in contrast to 'liberal' Brian, who is immediately terrified of him.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Brian claims to be a liberal person and looks down on "little Englanders" (i.e. [[LowerClassLout lower-class people]]) for being unenlightened and bigoted, but the moment Yusef appears he reacts with fear and insists on patting him down for weapons while the supposed "little Englanders" are much more welcoming, if slightly [[InnocentlyInsensitive insensitive]].
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Mick and Dawn try to be welcoming towards Yusef, but come off as rather ignorant, offering him milk and bread as you would a wild animal.
