{{quote| '''Tanya:''' How can you lie to your mother? You came from my womb!<br />
'''Simon:''' Yes, but...I live in Hampstead now. }}
 
Line 13:
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents]]: All over the place.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Simon's list of Clive's flaws.
{{quote| '''Simon:''' You're OK with that? A history of alcoholism, murder and child-staining?}}
* [[Belief Makes You Stupid]]: "We just need to treat religious people with kindness and love, in the same way you'd treat a child running around saying: ''I'm a helicopter''!"
** Combined with an element of [[Hypocritical Humor]] - as he criticises religion, Simon starts taking up New Age "[[Your Mind Makes It Real]]" beliefs, which inspire him to back the truly disasterous decision of inviting his divorced father over to his grandma's.
Line 25:
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Simon's father.
* [[Distracted by the Luxury]]: Tanya's reason for glossing over the unpleasant aspects of Clive's personality.
{{quote| '''Tanya:''' [[Blatant Lies|He's very kind to me]]. And he's got Sky HD. And a 47-inch plasma screen. You can see every single hair in Noel Edmonds' beard! What more do you want from life?<br />
'''Simon:''' Love? [[Marry for Love|True love]]?<br />
'''Tanya:''' Don't be odd. }}
Line 51:
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Simon's "abstract" play about two eggs questioning their existence.
* [[Taking the Heat]]: A minor version. When Adam is discovered in the bathroom, surrounded by his late grandfather's porn mags which he'd just been masturbating to, Clive claims that they were his in order to save embarrassment for both Adam and Grandma. He says that he had been masturbating to them in the loft and that they fell through the hole in the ceiling he'd just accidentally made.
{{quote| '''Tanya:''' Clive is a generous and kind man. Let him have a wank in the loft!}}
* [[This Is a Work of Fiction]]: "Grandma's House, its storyline and all associated characters are entirely fictional. So let's not make a whole business."
* [[The Unfavourite]]: Liz seems to be this to her parents.
