* DrivesLikeCrazy: Mr Morris, though in a strange inversion, he's terrible at parking, rather than driving on the road.
* InsaneTrollLogic: When Mr Morris asks for Adam to pay for the formers' condoms and the replacement car headlamp:
-->'''Mr Morris:''' Well, aren't you going to pay the man?\\
'''Adam:''' Why do ''we'' have to pay?\\
'''Mr Morris:''' Because if your grandmother had never existed, your house wouldn't have destroyed my headlamp.\\
'''Adam:''' [[LampshadeHanging And that's actual logic?]]\\

* NeverMyFault: Mr Morris blames ''the Goodmans' House'' for his own parking skills:
-->'''Mr Morris:''' Your bloody house broke my light!\\

* RunningGag: Unusually, Jim knocks on the side door, rather than at the front, though that's because of Mr Morris's terrible parking skills.
* SurroundedByIdiots: Mr Morris seems to think so at least. He asks the family puzzling questions about his life, and gets annoyed at them guessing "too low", when the answers he often reveals are not that far off what each family member says.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The family are baffled by why Grandma would be with Mr Morris, and Jackie asks Adam and Jonny to work out Mr Morris' "intentions" with her mother, and when they eventually tell her that they plan to have sex later, she's not pleased.
