** A variant in "Squabbits" when Woody disowns Malloy, who he took in when he was a cub. Granted, it didn't last.
** It's revealed in Connie's backstory that her parents disowned her when she was a child.

* HomemadeSweaterFromHell: When Woody's mother comes visiting, he puts on one that has the words "Don't touch your dirty pecker" stitched on it.

* IAmAHumanitarian: In episode 10 "Dam Show", the rangers and other survivors eat a FEMA agent AFTER he saves them.

* {{Jetpack}}: Denzel gets one in "Woody's Girl" after getting a large sum of money in the will of a granny he boned.

* WasTooHardOnHim: In the {{pilot}}, Ethel thought she was too hard on Steve when she told him she didn't want to celebrate with him due to his previous rudeness towards her.

* WesternTerrorists: In "Ranger Games", Steve suspects that Magnus could be a terrorist, but Woody laughs this off since Magnus is Swiss and that the Swiss are neutral. However, Magnus actually does turn out to be a terrorist since he got fed up with the world picking on Switzerland for being neutral so he vows to destroy "both sides". Ethel complains his motives are confusing, which makes Magnus claim he's "new to the terrorist thing".

[[caption-width-right:350:Fucking [[GodwinsLaw Auschwitz]] would get a better Yelp review.[[note]]From left to right, [[ButchLesbian Connie Cunaman]], [[OnlySaneEmployee Ethel Anderson]], [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist Steve Williams]], [[FatBastard Woody Johnson]], [[DeadpanSnarker Malloy]], and [[TokenMinority Denzel Jackson]].[[/note]]]]

* BadBoss: Woody isn't exactly the greatest guy to work for but his jerkness goes UpToEleven in "Hello Dottie" when he cuts pay, benefits and safety measures to all the employees and then outsources all the ranger positions to Indian call centers who communicate through robots.

* AintTooProudToBeg: In "Hello Dottie", Jorge scolds Connie for not showing up. When Connie demands he beg on his knees between her legs, he yells at her that he won't but then suddenly does plead to her.

-->'''Woody Johnson''' Marriage is the sacred union of Man and Woman. Not Man and Man. And certainly not between the races. Except Spaniards and Asians. They make Filipinos who are great looking and [[AsianHookerStereotype desperate for cash!]]

--->[[spoiler:'''Steve:''' (''after starting to record himself and Ethel, with both of them clearly being intoxicated'') Ok Future Steve and Future Ethel, you guys hard? [[SoundEffectBleep *BEEP*]] yeah you're hard! The things I'm going to do to Past Ethel, (''starts making a couple ridiculous gestures'') I'm going to blow your mind. (''He soon loses consciousness.'')]]

* BreakTheHaughty: While the show's favorite target is [[SmallNameBigEgo Steve]], he's not the only one. For instance, in "Little Boy Malloy", some smug schoolyard bully gets a HumiliationConga courtesy of Malloy, who he [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech bullied]] and claimed [[TemptingFate he couldn't get a girlfriend]]. The bear takes all his friends via outclassing him at trash-talking and he mocks him for the former. During a school play which had a large audience, he tauntingly winks at him, steals his girlfriend, and [[FlippingTheBird flips him off]]. Not only does he gloat to him that he stole his lover, [[KickTheSonOfABitch he even gets mocked by one of his former friends]]!

* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Sorta. Despite forming an enmity with Steve the first episode, Ethel eventually was willing to bury the hatchet and hug him. He then exploits this so he could [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink spike her coffee]] to get her fired.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Although most of the cast '''''aren't''''' saints themselves, sometimes their antics are directed towards someone who deserves it. For instance, [[spoiler:in "Obamascare [''sic'']" Steve exploits [[PlotAllergy Woody's severe allergy to crab cakes to sabotage his ceremony]] and get {{revenge}} on him. While it was rather cruel, you still can't really feel sorry for Woody considering: he [[BadBoss abuses his employees]] (with Steve getting the worst of it[[note]]regardless of if [[KarmicButtMonkey he deserves it]] or not[[/note]] and that episode is no exception), has killed many people, etc.]]

-->'''Denzel:''' So can adults you bald motherfucka! (''rubs Steve's bald scalp'')

* NoInfantileAmnesia: In "Two Weeks Notice", Steve claims his first memory was back when he was a ''sperm''.

-->'''Steve:''' (''to Malloy'') What are you talking about? Steve is dead, I'm going to be Bigfoot forever.

* IncestIsRelative: In "Campin' Ain't Easy", Woody has sex with Tiffany, who he learns later, is almost certainly his daughter.

* TheMountainsOfIllinois

* ParentalIncest: Downplayed yet [[PlayedForLaughs played for grim laughs]] when Steve's father starts forcibly humping his son's leg. [[spoiler:Subverted as it's later revealed he wasn't Steve's father]].

* ParentalIncest: Downplayed yet played for grim laughs when Steve's father starts forcibly humping his son's leg. [[spoiler:Subverted as it's later revealed he wasn't Steve's father]].

* StealthPun: [[spoiler:A [[BlackComedyRape dark]] example. In the first episode, Malloy says he's stuffed due to eating junk food from Bobby, who responds via telling him he's "about to be". This was also before [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty Bobby subjected the bear to anal rape]]]].

* KidsAreCruel: Steve complained that everyone in his youth bullied him for his baldness in "Steve's Bald".

* OffingTheOffspring: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for grim laughs]] when [[BlackComedy Nikolai shoots and kills his own son]].
* OffWithHisHead: In "Baby Daddy", Woody threatens to do this to Malloy via tearing off his head. [[EveryoneHasStandards Malloy actually seemed surprised by this]].

* RichBitch: Ethel's sister in "Little Boy Malloy."

Black and O'Guin later went on to create ''WesternAnimation/ParadisePD'' for Creator/{{Netflix}}, which is like ''Brickleberry'' humor-wise, but does develop the characters more and has a running story rather than being episodic. After 5 years of a hiatus from new episodes, Brickleberry returned in a crossover episode in Season 2 of Paradise PD.

** Connie's parents are raging, church-going homophobes who disowned her and replaced her with a Saint Bernard, took her back after her sexuality was inverted from the gay bomb blast, then rejected her again when the bomb's effects wore off. Her mother pushed her to do beauty pageants and used extreme measures (drugs, bulimia, and emotional manipulation) to keep her thin and performing (which didn't last, as she still became fat when she hit puberty).

* AmusingInjuries: The show's version of Smokey the Bear (Flamey the Bear) gets set on fire and tossed in a vat of acid.
** He's still inexplicably okay for his own episode in season 2 however (unless that was a different actor in the Flamey the Bear costume in the first episode and the Flamey the Bear in "My Favorite Bear" was the original actor who was brought out of retirement for the park re-opening ceremony).
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: A rare example in which both parties are male in [[AlliterativeTitle "Scared Straight"]] when Meat Hammer tries to force Denzel to marry him so he can subject him to PrisonRape.

** [[spoiler:Malloy staying with Bobby Possumcods, who is a sexual offender (despite denying it; he has duct tape, chloroform, bondage gear, and, most tellingly, a court order stating that he stay 50 feet away from children and small animals) all because he was starving for junk food. When the other rangers find him, he's stuck on the redneck, and what's worse, [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale everyone casually dismisses the fact that Malloy was raped after sentencing Bobby to picking up litter around the park (since same-sex bear molestation is a misdemeanor)]]]].

** In ''Scared Straight'', Denzel almost gets this from a prison inmate named [[BiggusDickus Meat Hammer]], he only manages to save himself because the forced gay marriage the warden of the prison puts him in gets delayed.

--> ''"Denzel''': "Bitch, you think you're the only one that has a chain?!?"

--> '''Denzel''': You're the Gay Mafia? Holy shit, Fox News was right!
--> '''Gay Mobster''': ''Yah'', they're right about everything!

-->'''Woody''': GOD DAMMN IT! Forgot to feed 'em.

* FullNameUltimatum: In "Aparkaylse", Connie yells at her son, the Anti-Christ.
--> '''Connie''': Donald Sutherland Cunaman! What do you think you're doing, young man? I did not raise you to end all creation!

* HarmfulToMinors: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for grim laughs]] several times. For instance, the first episode has Steve show some children an animal orgy.

* HookersAndBlow: Part of Woody's porn star past.

* {{Matricide}}: In one episode, Nikolai guns down his own mother, which is played for BlackComedy!

-->'''Steve''': I'm so sorry, Billy '''Black, people suck'''.\\

-->'''Denzel''': I don't want to hear another word about that ghost!
-->'''Malloy''': Woody used to be a seventies porn star named "Rex Erection"!
-->'''Denzel''':...Tell me more about that ghost, Steve.

** And in "High Stakes"
-->'''Steve''': Ha ha, Malloy can't get laid!
-->'''Malloy''': Ha ha, Steve has rabies!
-->'''Steve''': No I--*Malloy bites him*

-->'''Ethel''': Why would you want to work at Brickleberry National Park? Here's two reasons. Now jump and down and shake that sweater meat. Boing Boing.
-->'''Woody''': Cut! That's not your lines, that's your direction. Now get those B-cups bouncing.

* TantrumThrowing: After getting owned in an online game, Malloy angrily throws his controller against the wall, which hit a picture and broke it.

-->'''Steve''': He's big, he's red, he's got a big ol' head\\

* ThroatSlittingGesture: During his [[ThePlan plan]] to [[{{Revenge}} get even with Denzel]] in "In Da Club", Steve runs his index finger alongside his neck while glaring at him.

* PreMortemOneLiner: A couple times Malloy say something before killing someone.

** [[spoiler:After realizing a UsefulNotes/{{Chin|a}}ese kid was in a wheelchair and before killing him, Malloy says, "''Oh. My. God. I had no idea,'' it was gonna be this easy!"]].
* PrisonRape: Due to a complicated series of events, Woody ends the episode "My Way or the Highway" stuck in "The Woody Johnson Prison For Criminally-Insane Man-Rapists".
** Basically the entire main plot of "Scared Straight", with Denzel trying to avoid this at the hands of an enormous convict named Meat Hammer.

* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Parodied. A schoolyard bully once tried (and failed) to roast Malloy via saying he's mayor of "Ugly Town" and "Diarrhea Town" and that [[TemptingFate he'll never get a girlfriend]]. You can see why Malloy wasn't [[BreakHimByTalking broken by talking]].

* FlawExploitation: After learning Ethel [[spoiler:was fired from Yellowstone because of her alcoholism]], Steve tries his damndest to exploit this to get her fired.

* SuicideAsComedy: A couple instance have someone committ suicide on-screen. During the Founder's Day Tournament in "In Da Club", for instance, somebody kills himself on-screen. You can guess how much of it is played seriously considering this show's [[BlackComedy nature]].

* AsianRudeness: While PlayedForLaughs, this show stereotypes [[UsefulNotes/{{Asia}} Asians]] as [[{{Jerkass}} rude]]. For instance, while playing an online game in "Miss National Park", a BrattyHalfPint who happened to be [[UsefulNotes/{{China}} Chinese]] disses Malloy. And gloats to him after he kills and starts tea-bagging his PlayerCharacter. Also, before publishing a video of it on Website/{{YouTube}}, said kid also basically gloats to Malloy that he can't do anything about it.

** [[spoiler:Malloy staying with Bobby Possumcods, who is a sexual offender (despite denying it; he has duct tape, chloroform, bondage gear, and, most tellingly, a court order stating that he stay 50 feet away from children and small animals) all because he was starving for junk food. When the other rangers find him, he's stuck on the redneck, and what's worse, everyone casually dismisses the fact that Malloy was raped after sentencing Bobby to picking up litter around the park ([[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale since same-sex bear molestation is a misdemeanor]])]].

** In "Trailer Park", Woody complains that taking over the park is the worst thing Bobby has ever done. Malloy sarcastically says, "Really?" with a cut back to "Welcome To Brickleberry" when Bobby raped Malloy. Woody retorts, "He gave you chocolate."

* DisproportionateRetribution: A few times Malloy has done this. For instance, his response in "Scared Straight" when someone was eating his moonpie? [[AxCrazy He had him shanked to death]].

* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: There are a few scenes involving male-on-male sexual violence, which are all played as BlackComedyRape. Special note, however, goes to [[spoiler:the first episode; when Bobby rapes Malloy, it was considered a "misdemeanor" and it's basically dismissed afterwards by everyone who isn't Malloy]].

* SkewedPriorities: In the first episode, everyone is more interested and focused on the controversy of Steve getting Ethel drunk to win Ranger of the Month rather than attend to Malloy [[spoiler:who was just raped]]. Malloy naturally lampshades it, by pointing out that he was raped and they really should be concerned about that.

* SuicideAsComedy: During the Founder's Day Tournament in "In Da Club", someone commits suicide on-screen. You can guess how much of it is played seriously considering this show's [[BlackComedy nature]].

* ATasteOfHisOwnMedicine: For all the times Malloy has [[GroinAttack attacked Steve in the groin, Malloy himself gets hit in the groin at least twice]].

* TemptingFate: For starters, in [[spoiler:"Miss National Park", a BrattyHalfPint basically gloats to Malloy that he couldn't do anything about him humiliating in an online game. Eventually, however, Malloy came to said kid's residence and [[DisproportionateRetribution killed him]]]].

* ThatManIsDead: After Malloy asks him how long he's going to pretend Big Foot, Steve says that his old self is dead and that he's going to be Big Foot forever.
-->'''Steve:''' (''to Malloy'') What are you talking about? Steve is dead, I'm going to be Big Foot forever.

* BackAlleyDoctor: Dr. Kuzniak is the only doctor in town, despite being disbarred from practicing medicine. Still, everyone goes to him and his practice and he is willing to perform very questionable medical procedures (he makes Krieger from ''Archer'' look like [[TheSimpsons Dr. Hibbert]]). He's even his own malpractice attorney.

* UrineTrouble: A PlayedForLaughs example in the pilot when a deer whizzes on [[AnimalsHateHim Steve]].

* AsianRudeness: While PlayedForLaughs, this show stereotypes [[UsefulNotes/{{Asia}} Asians]] as [[{{Jerkass}} rude]]. For instance, while playing an online game in "Miss National Park", a BrattyHalfPint who happened to be [[UsefulNotes/{{China}} Chinese]] disses Malloy. And gloats to him after he kills and starts tea-bagging his PlayerCharacter. Also, before publishing a video of it on Website/{{YouTube}}, said kid also basically mocked Malloy that he couldn't do anything about it.

* FlippingTheBird: In the first episode, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Steve flips Ethel off]].

* PedophilePriest: One shows up in "Two Weeks Notice", revealed to be the clown that was trying to kidnap blind kids at the start of the episode. Later on, we find out that Steve's fatal medical report was a mix-up with a priest, who dies in the middle of service. After several long seconds, all the altar boys around him drop dead too.
* PsychoticSmirk: Although Steve has a few moments of making devilish-looking smirks, Malloy out-does him in this regard as he makes them more frequently.

* PreMortemOneLiner: [[spoiler:Before he kills a schoolyard bully, Malloy says, "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Here comes three]]."]]

* TailSlap: A beaver whacks [[AnimalsHateHim Steve]] in the [[GroinAttack nuts]] in the first episode.
