* AssholeVictim: Tommy quickly loses the audiences sympathy and it is easy to see Rand as being justified in robbing him to get the money Tommy owed him. On the other hand Pam is portrayed as a nice person with a poor taste in men who did not deserve what happened to her.

Added DiffLines:

* DestructiveRomance: Tommy and Pamela get married despite *barely* knowing one another. It's to the point that Tommy is shocked that Pamela is a fan of "The King and I" and is a bit put off by her knowing all the words to "Getting to Know You" as he expected her to have tastes more in line with his own.
* TheDogBitesBack: After Tommy forces Rand to leave his tools at Tommy's place at gunpoint, he decides to rob his former employer for the hell he put him through.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Tommy Lee is introduced having loud sex with Pamela in the next room while Rand tries to finish his renovation, only to come in and make a last minute, spur of the moment change, showing his callousness and impulsiveness.
* EvilIsPetty: "Evil" is a strong work, but Tommy forcing Rand to give up his tools at gun point crosses the line.
* FanService: Lots of shots of a nearly naked Pam and a *very* naked Tommy Lee.
* FourthDateMarriage: Tommy and Pam get married within *days* of meeting one another. Tommy doesn't even know what movies Pam likes, and the pair haven't even figured out where they were going to live after they get back from Cancun.
* GunNut: Tommy Lee has a massive collection of these, and doesn't just love to show them off, but uses them to intimidate others.


Added DiffLines:

* LustObject: Tommy and Pamela are this to one another.
* KickTheDog: Tommy didn't need to force Rand to leave his tools.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Tommy's poor treatment of Rand is what inspires Rand to rip him off.
* MrFanservice: Tommy Lee spends a *lot* of the first two episodes walking around with little to nothing on.
* MsFanservice: Pamela being lusted over by practically everyone drives much of the plot.


Added DiffLines:

* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Blatantly clear that no one regards Pamela as a human being, and more of a sex object to be leared at.
* UngratefulBastard: Tommy Lee constantly changes the plans for the renovation of his home at the last minute, jacking up the cost, all without paying any of the people working on the house. When asked about money, he brushes it off. When Rand accidentally walks in on Pamela while trying to get Tommy to pay them after adding a water bed at the spur of the moment, Tommy comes up with a lame excuse about the work being shoddy (Despite being made with the best materials and the reason it taking so long being because he kept delaying it with his impuslive choices)and fires them all. When Rand breaks back in to simply get his tools, Tommy threatens him with a shotgun saying the tools are payment for a poor job done. It's this that causes Rand to decide to rob Tommy to get back what he feels is owed.
