- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Lincoln teaches Ronnie Anne how to do so, stating that it's his coping mechanism to survive being in a big family.
- Cats Are Mean: There's a gang of vicious alley cats outside the bodega. They end up tearing the place apart when Ronnie Anne and her mother accidentally leave the door open.
- Comedic Underwear Exposure: Bobby and his grandfather suffer this. Grandpa’s pants get pulled down by the cats, and Bobby then removes his own pants to show he’s wearing the same kind of Goofy Print Underwear.
- Dingy Trainside Apartment: Ronnie Anne tries to get away from her doting family and their super-crowded apartment. She finally settles peacefully on the sofa after one relative's snoring wakes her... only to have an elevated train go rumbling by loudly.
- Disappeared Dad: Mr. Santiago is not seen or mentioned at all. It's heavily implied by Mrs. Santiago that she's probably raising her kids as a single parent.
- Drives Like Crazy: Lori does this twice. The first time she does this is when she becomes very emotional when Bobby is about to leave to visit his extended family on his mother's side. The second time she does this is when she is seen speeding after finding out that he is going to move in with them.

- Greed: Grandpa Casagrande seems to be kind of a cheapskate.
- Hidden Depths: Bobby is shown to have quite a bit of business-savviness when working at his grandpa's bodega, which is probably due to him working so many part-time jobs (one of which was at a supermarket). He also develops a surprisingly sophisticated plan to make his and Lori's relationship work even after the move.

- Irony: Despite his aforementioned Inelegant Blubbering over having to be separated from Lori for the weekend, Bobby has no problems with moving in with the Casagrande family, even though it means being away from Lori for much longer than he previously thought. It could be, however, that he is already thinking of a way the two can still be together even after the move.

- Poorly Disguised Pilot: Considering how it heavily features Ronnie Anne and her relatives as the main focus and how the ending had them stay in the city, it comes off like one. She's ultimately made to live in a refurbished closet, and Lincoln even teaches her how to break the fourth wall like he does. A year later after this aired, a spin-off was indeed announced.

- Time to Move: Initially, Maria's kids believe that they're going to be staying with their extended family through their mom's side for two days, but Maria eventually reveals to Bobby and Ronnie Anne that she got a job at the city hospital and that she wants to move to the city permanently—hearing this, the Casagrandes say that Maria and her kids should move in with them so they wouldn't have to buy a new house. Ronnie Anne's initially against this (even enlisting help from Lincoln and Lori to sabotage the move), but when seeing how grateful the family is to the point of converting Rosa's closet into a bedroom for Ronnie Anne like Lincoln's, she decides to stay.
