** Terry's spider powers in "This Vale of Beers" is a shout out to not only Franchise/SpiderMan, but also the [[Film/SpiderMan1 movie]] that came out at the time of the episode, which gets referenced as the reason why Terry wanted spider powers in the first place.

* AnythingThatMoves: Terry, as indicated by his {{Catchphrase}} "A mouth's a mouth". Although season 2 shows him repeatedly stating that he isn't interested in Connie at all.

** He has one in "The Slopranos". See OedipusComplex below for more details.

* OedipusComplex: Played with for laughs. When the Guv goes to see Ms Jackson's identical twin, a psychiatrist, he immediately refers to this trope, claiming that everything always ties in with having sex with the mother, and his attitude/disgust towards it makes the psychiatrist wonder about him. Eventually there's a DreamWithinADream where Ms. Jackson's twin get on her knees before the Guv while he's sitting on a chair...and then he's met with the twin replaced by his mum. Cut to BigNo while he wakes up.

* NamesTheSame: InUniverse with Lesley and Leslie.

** Anyone tired of the Professor's {{Nerd}} talk: "Oh, grow up!"

-->'''Marcel''': But do you not find my accent, how you say, sexy?
-->'''Connie''': No, how you say, you prat!

* {{Fartillery}}: Terry.
* GassHole: Again, Terry.
* HighHopesZeroTalent: Steve. He is easily eneamoured by any glamourous-seeming profession, and insists that he can do that, but his lack of skill and knowledge prove otherwise.
