Line 3:
* [[Ass Pull]] -- {{spoiler|The revelation that Janet and Jimmy had an affair years ago could easily qualify. I mean, really, this wasn't mentioned after ''FIVE YEARS''?!?!?!}}
** Also, {{spoiler|everybody but Lou surviving that huge explosion}} in the series finale.
* [[Badass Decay]]
** Gets better in season five.
* [[
* [[Broken Base]]
* [[Creator's Pet]] - Sheila for some.
** Jerry Reilly also counts as a [[Creator's Pet]], especially when you consider that most of seasons one and two focused upon him. It was only when they begun phasing him out (season three) that a slew of characters (most notably Garrity and Lou) began to finally get screentime and character development.
Line 12:
* [[He Really Can Act (Sugar Wiki)|He Really Can Act]]: Adam Ferrara, a stand-up comic who was part of Leary's entourage, as Needles.
* [[Like You Would Really Do It]]: {{spoiler|Tommy,}} both in season 3 and 5's finales. Also {{spoiler|most the cast at the beginning of the final episode.}}
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]
** Besides the rape, she also faked being pregnant, tried to force Tommy into selling his and Janet's newborn son to her, and openly opined to Tommy that she would have killed him if he had not made a speedy recovery after being shot by his uncle.
*** Mike crossed several of them early in the series. In season two, when his slightly overweight girlfriend dumps him (largely because she was offended when he began encouraging her be annorexic), he goes all crazy stalker on her, brandishing a gun and telling her that she will never ever find a guy as good as Mike due to her being "fat". Similarly, in season three Mikey exploits a gay man he had a crush on for free oral sex and and a place to stay, while outright refuses to provide his boyfriend similar sexual favors. When called out on his selfishness and being a user, the two beat the crap out of each other.
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: The second half of season five (which ran for 22 uninterrupted episodes) is disliked for fans, due to them introducing a new female fire fighter for Tommy to lust after on top of Sheila and Janet, as well as the pandering to Mike Lombardi as far as writing his IRL band into the show for a crappy arc.
** Season 4 also isn't well thought of by most of the fanbase. In fact save for season 5 which is somewhat well received, relatively speaking anyway, the seasons after the first 3 aren't that well thought of by a lot of fans.
* [[The Woobie]]
** Garrity gets extra woobieness given the fact that the show has repeatedly shown that he's a truly nice (if not dumb) guy who behaves like an asshole simply due to peer pressure, from his asshole siblings, cousins, and coworkers. The only other character who doesn't seem to have the same inherent asshole nature to him is Lou and even he succumbs to it in season three after being bilked of all of his money by a con artist.
** Sheila's woobiness is further solidified at the end of season six and through season seven by her destructive antics being toned down and {{spoiler|her son Damion having his accident on the job, leaving her as his sole caretaker while she can't accept that he probably won't recover.}}
