Line 15:
=== ''[[Life With Louie]]'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Both Andy and Louie can never win. Even Louie's younger brother treats him like this.
* [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin']]: In one episode Louie steals a single piece of candy. The shop's owner informs him that he will make an inventory check and if anything is missing, he will know whose parents to call. Louie was so scared that the next night he ''broke into a store'' to return that candy. The same episode introduced three criminals, who all started their careers by stealing ''one piece of candy''.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Several, but the most used:
{{quote| '''Andy''' For crying out loud?!}}
Line 41:
* [[Parental Bonus]]: There's an entire episode where Louie's trying to find out where babies come from. Asking his father, Andy decides to tell him a story about soldiers on a battlefield dying one by one, save one final soldier (being himself) making it past the mines and traps and eventually reaching the goal. Older people must have had a good laugh at this one.
** This troper can't recall if this is the same episode, but there's another example where Louie's mother believes she's pregnant. Towards the end of the episode however it turns out to be false alarm, to which Andy gives her a dreamy look and says something along the lines of "I guess the soldiers didn't march this time..."
* [[Phony Veteran]]: Andy defines this trope. Andy remembers things... diferently from what really happened. Might be that it is a defense mechanism of trying to cope with what really happened, making Andy a [[Shell
* [[Politician Guest Star]]: President [[Dwight Eisenhower]] appeared in one episode, though [[Invisible President|we didn't see his face]].
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]:
Line 52:
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Louie Anderson voicing both his younger self and Andy.
* [[Tomboy]]: Jenny.
* [[Very Loosely Based
* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: In one episode Glen Glen's mother, Jen, [[Jerkass]] and [[Large Ham]] feared in the entire town, lost her voice to everybody's relief. At last at first... [[It Got Worse|Then]] entire town started acting like if they were turned into some decayed [[Dark World]] or even [[Mirror Universe]] versions of themselves. In the end they all worked together to raise enough money to pay for her operation. Even Andy, who hates Jen's guts, gave everybody a [[Rousing Speech]].
{{quote| '''Andy:''' We are like army. And army takes care of it's soldiers. Even if that soldier is a pain in the butt.}}
