To their (mis)fortune, they encounter and pursue him near the end of the episode, and to their great shock his "penis" pops right off.]]

* [[UnsettlingGenderReveal Unsettling Gender Reveal]]: In the first episode we are introduced to "huge" gay pornstar Dylan Rambrick, who Rick and Steve gleefully watch. To their (mis)fortune, they encounter and pursue him near the end of the episode, and to their great shock his "penis" pops right off.

%% * WholesomeCrossdresser: The drag queen that shows up several times in the series.

PoliticalOvercorrectness: Ebony and Ivory are the embodiment of this trope. They refuse to check whether their infant is a boy or a girl because they believe that shouldn't be up to them to enforce gender roles, they gave the child a gender-neutral name, and insist that the child be referred to as "she and/or he". They refuse to baby-talk because it is patronizing, and they find it offensive to call a child small. They have a bank account specifically for their child's future sex change operation should she and/or he desire one.

* AllLesbiansWantKids: Kirsten, as well as her friends Ebony & Ivory. And just about every other lesbian on the show too. ''Rick & Steve'' really loves this one.

* BloodierAndGorier: The second season compared to the first season.

* ButchLesbian: Dana. She even has a little lego mullet.
* ButtMonkey: [[Creator/MargaretCho Condi Ling]]
* CastFullOfGay: Goes without saying...

* CrazyPrepared: Parodied. [[ItMakesSenseInContext In order to pass through an ancient, underground temple]] (LongStory) the explorer must insert the original [[Film/NationalTreasure Declaration of Independence]] to proceed.

* CureYourGays: Evan tries to get ex-gay therapy so he can have sex with a woman. The effort is an EpicFail, however; instead of associating attraction to men with horrific pain, he ended up associating pain with attraction to men in a ''positive way'', and now [[TooKinkyToTorture asks to be electrocuted in bed.]]

* DirtyOldMan: There's Chuck, obviously. Plus in one episode we're introduced to Rick's perverse gay uncle, who convinces men that he's actually Rick's cousin. His younger cousin.

* FunWithAcronyms: Chuck teaches HIV awareness for community service. His method of helping young gays remember to practice safe sex?
-->[[AC: Bring A Rubber Every time, Because Aids Can Kill]], or '''B.A.R.E.B.A.C.K.'''
* GayBarReveal: Inverted. Steve's mom is so deep in denial, she goes to a [[LeatherMan hardcore gay leather bar]], sees [[CasualKink a man being lead around on a leash]] and being from TheDeepSouth [[LiteralMinded seems overjoyed that slavery is still legal in that neighborhood]].

* HypocriticalHumor: One of Dana's defining traits is her hatred of men--particularly homosexuals. However, her late brother Dick (the only man she ever loved) was a part-time crossdresser, and may have been in the closet himself. Could be YouAreWhatYouHate, Dana stated in one video that if she was a man, she'd be a male chauvinist, which is what she accuses most men of being.
* InformedDeformity: Rick is "skinny fat" while Dana and Condi are fat and ugly.

** Condi is ''not'' a fag hag! She's an ''alternative lifestyle companion''!
* InspirationallyDisadvantaged: Subverted with embittered, wheelchair bound, HIV+ Chuck.

** JewishMother: Averted with Dana, who is of Jewish heritage but isn't stringent as Kirsten about the baby. Dana's mother has the accent and the overbearing manner down.
* LastHetRomance: Condie Ling to Rick.

* PoliticalOvercorrectness:
** For example:
--->''Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Ramadan,\\
Christmukah, Solstice, too.\\
And if you don't believe in nothing,\\
happy that to you!''
** Ebony and Ivory are the embodiment of this trope. They refuse to check whether their infant is a boy or a girl because they believe that shouldn't be up to them to enforce gender roles, they gave the child a gender-neutral name, and insist that the child be referred to as "she and/or he". They refuse to baby-talk because it is patronizing, and they find it offensive to call a child small. They have a bank account specifically for their child's future sex change operation should she and/or he desire one.

* SuicideAsComedy: Condi, who tries to pathetically commit suicide every time a guy she dates turns out to be gay. It's now in the double digits. Everyone is so annoyed by her shooting her self in the head with glue guns that they start urging her to just kill herself already so they can watch tv in peace.

* TwoferTokenMinority: Steve's friend who is both black and gay, who has a bit of a martyr complex. Then there's Rick who is gay and Filipino, and Evan who is also Latino. Then there's Chuck who's an wheelchair bound HIV positive homosexual. There is also a recurring background character of Bodiless Mute Blind Latina Lesbian in a Wheelchair, a disembodied head whose inarticulate mumbles are translated by her live-in nurse Jessica (voiced by Margaret Cho).

* WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame: Every business in West Lahunga Beach. There's even a Guns 'n' Homo

* WholesomeCrossdresser: The drag queen that shows up several times in the series.

* BoobsOfSteel: Dana is noted to have very large breasts (and her drawn on breast lines are very large) and is a ButchLesbian.

* HasTwoMommies: In season two, Dana and Kirsten raise Dixie, because Rick and Steve helped in the surrogacy, they allow the guys two have shared custody too. So Dixie has two moms and two dads.

* EverythingIsRacist: Parodied. A TwoferTokenMinority played by Creator/RuPaul tries to educate both racially insensitive Steve and a straight, Black friend of his. To show the [[EverythingIsRacist trials and tribulations of being black and gay at the same time]] he takes them to a Black Gay bar called [[Film/AntwoneFisher Antwone's Fissure]]. Not only does he teach them nothing, but gets asked to leave by the drag queen waiting tables. He now complains that She's discriminating against him because his friends are straight and white, only to be shown that the Black Gay bar has a "No Martyring" policy.]]

* TwoferTokenMinority: Steve's friend who is both black and gay, who has a bit of a martyr complex. Then there's Rick who is gay and Filipino, and Evan who is also Latino. Then there's Chuck who's an wheelchair bound HIV positive homosexual.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Rick and Steve. "Daddy! (Rick)" "Piggy! (Steve)"

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad:
