Tropes

 * A Dog Named "Dog" - Slick owns a politically incorrect dog named, well, "Dog".
 * Abusive Parents - Derrick Packwood, whose abusiveness is mostly verbal but sometimes physical, he even once Gary as a child a "Good-for-nothing idiot" for god's sake!, the abusiveness went on until Season 17 ("Father & Son"), where it's revealed the reason he's verbally abusive: his parents died when he was 3, he later apologized for his actions and was never seen again after the episode.
 * Actor Allusion - Not all but plenty of guest stars, especially the Batman vs. Superman cutaway gag from Season 3 ("Powers That Be"), where Adam West reprises his role as Batman, while Dean Cain reprises his role as Superman.
 * Animation Bump - the animation was originally cel-animated before sometime in Season 2, the animation switched to digital-ink-and-paint.
 * Berserk Button - TBA
 * Biting The Hand Humor/Take That - Not only to Fox, but NBC itself, examples include:
 * An entire episode titled "Broadcasting Fart Jokes Est. 1926" (S5 E12), revolves around Gary pitching a drama to NBC, only for the executives to screw up and change it into a cheesy sitcom about friends.
 * In the episode "Slickerdog" (S3 E1), Slick takes his dog Dog for a walk, during the walk, Dog barks at a FOX executive.
