Tropes seen in this episode:

  • Blind Without 'Em: When Uriel is about to beat pool shark Buck (and keep Eddie’s lost bet), Buck tricks the nerd into letting him look at his glasses. Buck promptly breaks the glasses, and Uriel literally can’t see. “Too bad, looks like I win by forfeit,” sneers Buck.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Rodney vanishes after this episode without any explanation. He would later be replaced by Waldo as Eddie's best friend.
  • Cue the Billiard Shot: Hey ... it's a pool episode, what do you expect?
  • Pool Shark: Buck, the seemingly friendly, genial yokel who beats Eddie in pool and nicely asks for his money turns out to be a professional, not-so-nice thug of a pool shark. And Buck's friends are big, muscular and mean, and thoroughly enjoy beating up people who don't pay up ... NOW!!!!!
  • Never Mess with Granny: One of Buck's mooks tries to stand in Estelle's way while attempting a difficult corner shot. "Suit yourself," replies Estelle before jabbing him (hard) in the abdomen. The thug takes the hint.
