* EvenEvilHasStandards: The gang as a whole are uncomfortable with the idea of holding a child beauty pageant, especially Frank, but Charlie's combination of InsaneTrollLogic and PatrioticFervor convinces them to push ahead with it. Dee also laments the fact that the kids' parents left them unsupervised in a bar with a bunch of strangers.

* {{Eagleland}}: Charlie tries to invoke a Type 1 by portraying child beauty pageants as a proud American tradition, but the episode veers into Type 2 by showing how crass and tasteless they often are, as well as [[PedoHunt magnets for child molesters.]] Notably, during the scene when Walter is arrested and exposed as a diddler, "America the Beautiful" is playing in the background.

'''Mac:''' Who else are we gonna get? We don't have a deep bench, Dee.
* MistakenForPedophile: Frank is deeply concerned that this will happen to him after the last guy to run the show was convicted of molesting one of the contestants.
** It happens to the rest of the Gang after the performances they come up with for the kids, such as a shirtless Yankee Doodle Chippendale's routine that makes his father freak out and confront Artemis.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Frank's dead set on making sure he doesn't get MistakenForPedophile as a result of him hosting the show. He instead gets [[ILoveTheDead mistaken for necrophiliac]] thanks to his [[IsThisThingStillOn mic remaining turned on]] while he was asking a mortician vulgar questions.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Frank spends the entire episode insisting to everyone who'll listen that he is definitely ''not'' attracted to kids. At one point he even tries to get the gang to write a song about it until Mac points out that it's a surefire way to make people suspect him.

* SureLetsGoWithThat: When the police show up at the end, Frank initially assumes they're there to arrest him on [[MistakenForPedophile suspicion of pedophilia]]. When it turns out they were there to arrest Walter Harris instead for being an actual diddler, the gang pretends to go along with the pageant being a sting operation to get the heat off of them.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Walter wants the Gang to make sure the kids are ''featured'' in any performances. This comment seems innocuous at first, but Walter's intention is much darker when it's revealed he's a diddler, too.
