The show addresses concerns such as "What do you do when you constantly run into the same person at stop signs?" "How do you cover up waving to the wrong person?" and much more.

Line 50: * [[He Who Must Not Be Heard]]: Darius, whose voice is so quiet that neither J nor the audience can understand what he is saying. * [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: J and CeCe (also known as "Curry Fried Chicken") * [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The [https://web.archive.org/web/20130927153102/http://flyguysbaby.com/ Fly Guys] make random appearances throughout the show. * [[Hint Dropping]]: Fred can't take the hint that J is interested, while A cannot take the hint that J is no longer interested. * [[Holier Than Thou]]: Delores a.k.a.
