Tropes That Appear in This Episode
- Character Development: In the first season, Johnny giving a eulogy for a man he doesn't know ends in disaster. Here, he behaves like a grown-up, tells the truth and the situation turns out fine.
- The "Fun" in "Funeral": Stevie, Roland and Johnny accidentally crash poor Benny's funeral.
- Hypocritical Humor: Moira detests social media and calls it a cauldron of narcissists until she starts using it herself.
- Of all people, Roland Schitt should not be making fun of anyone's name, let alone a husband/wife duo of Benny and Betty.
- Instant Humiliation Just Add Youtube: Moira accidentally livestreams her conversation with Patrick about David's bedwetting, to Patrick's horror and Alexis's barely contained amusement.
- Oh, Crap!: Johnny, Roland, and Stevie want to buy a second hotel, and they walk in on a funeral.
- Parental Substitute: Stevie is struggling with her goals and direction in life, and she has a lot of trouble talking to Johnny about whether she wants to remain in the hotel business at all, let alone buy another hotel. For his part, Johnny tells her he wants nothing more than for her to find her passion, while also letting her know that he loves her and would love nothing more than to keep working for her in the future. Also, maybe she could consider this while finishing her shift.
- Snowball Lie: Averted. Roland decides to lie about why they are at the funeral, but Johnny tells the truth and averts more humiliation.
- Technologically Blind Elders: Moira doesn't understand Twitter. (For the youngsters, that's what X used to be called.)Moira: A dear friend of mine suggested I create a "Living Stream"...
Alexis: Okay. Shedoesn'tknowwhatshe'sdoinganddidn'tknowthatitwasrecording.
