* BrickJoke: Robert watches a music video titled "Thugin' Luv" and tries to figure out what it's about. Near the end, Gangstalicious is confronted by a man named Lincoln who talks about "Thugin' Luv" being a relationship they had in the past... right before he kisses him.
* BrokenPedestal: Looking shorter, being cowardly, ''dropping your gun'', not being as rich as you thought, and kissing another dude are among the stuff that makes Riley lose respect for Gangstalicious. He passes out from dealing with other gangsters and believes it was all a dream, so it's somewhat subverted.
