Line 34:
** Barbra Jean loathes being called "Blondzilla", and Reba gets upset if/when she gets compared to Barbra Jean and is told [[Not So Different|she's no better]].
* [[Blind Mistake]]: Reba does this in one episode, during which she tries to take care of herself while still recovering from an eye surgery ("tries" being the operative word here, as drinking water out of a potted plant and spreading peanut butter on a sponge doesn't count as proof of the ability to successfully take care of oneself), with Barbra Jean attempting to help Reba without Reba knowing.
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Cheyenne (blond), Jake (brunette), and Kyra (redhead).
* [[Bow Chicka Wow Wow]]: Spoken as "bow chicka bow bow" as substitute for "sex", but the message still applies.
* [[Brain Bleach]]: After the school charity auction held by Reba and Barbra Jean turns out to be a big hit, Brock mentions that tradition dictates a celebration party must be held to commemorate the sponsors, where Reba is obligated to congratulate Barbra Jean and vice versa. Reba tells Brock there's nothing she'd rather do, but waits till Brock leaves before whispering to herself: "Pencil in the eye, that's what I'd rather do."
Line 45:
{{quote| '''Barbra Jean''': Yoo hoo! I'm here! And I'm --<br />
'''Reba''': Oh, shut up and grab a doughnut! }}
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Surprisingly averted for a sitcom based around one of country music's most famous stars - Reba did sing, but it was rarely a big production. (On the other hand, she did sing [[Do
* [[Celebrity Star]] / [[Stunt Casting]]: Done twice: once with Dolly Parton and the other time with Kelly Clarkson. Both also appear as [[Special Guest|special guests]].
* [[Christmas Episode]]: During the second season.
Line 54:
** After Reba wrecks [[Cool Car|Rhonda]], Van gets back at her by calling Barbra Jean to tell her of Reba's temporary blind condition, knowing full well that she would rush to Reba's aid despite Reba's dislike of having Barbra Jean around.
* [[Cool Car]]: Van's car Rhonda.
* [[Cough
* [[Cut Himself Shaving]]: Brock claims this trope regarding a suspicious injury near his right ear in an episode in which Barbra Jean's dog goes missing. It turns out the dog bit him, but he insists he never hurt the dog and is soon cleared of the charge.
* [[The Cutie]]: BJ.
Line 70:
* [[Expy]]: A snarky couple with three children: A ditzy blonde who married a doofus, a snarky middle child who seems to be the only verbal equal to the snarky matriarch, and a young son who everyone seems to forget about. It's not an exact expy of ''Roseanne,'' but it seemed to be a case of what might have happened should Roseanne and Dan get divorced.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Reba and Kyra.
* [[
* [[Foreshadowing]]: In one episode, Reba tells Brock of her worry that Kyra might ask to move in with him and Barbra Jean out of frustration of her not letting Kyra getting her way. A season or two later Kyra does tell Brock of her desire to move in with him and Barbra Jean, though not quite for the precise reason mentioned by Reba.
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: "Kyra Eleanor Hart, out!"
Line 79:
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Reba didn't do this at first, resulting Barbra Jean, who was present at the time, to try to "correct" Reba toward this. In latter seasons Reba is actually doing this rather involuntarily.
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]]: Reba. Reba, Reba, ''Reba''.
* [[Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow]]: A mild example: Brock, in a [[Flash Back|flash back]] scene, sported a long mustache prior to his marriage with Reba. In a separate episode, Van, Brock, and Cheyenne turn up in a future scene (six decades or so into the future), in which this trope is played straight with Van (balding) and Brock (completely bald with a wig on top) but subverted in Cheyenne's case (she still has her hair, just not blonde any longer).
* [[Halloween Episode]]: The one time Reba ''wants'' her offspring to pull pranks.
* [[Helium Speech]]: Brock talks this way when he happens to be in charge of balloons for a party Cheyenne throws for Kyra.
Line 136:
** There's more. During the fifth season finale, Reba is faced with the prospect of a surgery. Van consoles the worried Cheyenne with: "She'll be all right. She's a survivor."
* [[This Is Reality]]: Lampshaded by Van in one episode ("That speech Cheyenne gave was great, but we don't live in a speech. We live in Houston.") and Brock in another ("We don't live in a utopia. We live in suburbia, where life is cheap!").
* [[
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Reba and B.J. Poor B.J. tries so hard...
** And when Reba actually refrains from insulting Barbra Jean, she ''takes offense'', and mentions how, as "The Other Woman," she's always victim to gossiping and false friendliness from everyone else, and prefers Reba's rather harsh (but honest) jokes and teasing instead of the false sincerity from everyone else.
