Line 103:
* [[Henpecked Husband]]: Dan at times, David ''all'' the time.
* [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]]: {{spoiler|Roseanne once her novel series goes off the rails -- i.e., in the final season.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: A young George Clooney plays Booker Brooks, the factory manager of Wellman Plastics in the first two seasons.
** [[Law and Order|Arthur Branch]] plays Dale Faber, the man who replaces Booker as factory manager.
** [[Spider-Man|Tobey Maguire]] is one of the friends of a guy Darlene is interested in dating in season 3 for one episode.
Line 146:
* [[Nobody Poops]]: Completely averted. Roseanne probably had one of the most visible bathrooms on television. Characters were shown in the tub, dyeing their hair, getting high, brushing teeth, and even taking a pregnancy test. An entire episode focused around D.J.'s new-found [[A Date With Rosie Palms|love of the bathroom]].
** In fact, the show had '''three''' bathrooms. Becky and Darlene's bathroom upstairs, where Darlene dyed her hair and Becky had her first hangover, D.J.'s bathroom, where Darlene saw Jackie with her bruises after Fisher beat her, and the downstairs bathroom, where most of the show's insanity occured (it was used frequently as a safe haven to gossip and hide from everyone else, such as when Roseanne and Jackie were gossiping about their parents.) [[Fridge Logic|These people were supposed to be poor, right?]]
* [[No Periods, Period]]: Averted. Aside from episodes centered on Roseanne's comically insane mood-swings, Darlene's first period, and a pregnancy scare, periods are pretty much the domain of cheap jokes.
* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: Repeatedly lampshaded with David and Darlene, after the Conners took him in.
{{quote| Roseanne (to Dan): Oh, look honey, our kids are necking.}}
Line 187:
'''Jackie:''' [[Sure Let's Go With That|Uh, sure]].<br />
'''Fred:''' Oh, oh wow.<br />
'''Jackie:''' Well, Fred! It's not *that* many! Three a year for 20 years is, [[Explain, Explain, Oh Crap|60 - wow]].<br />
'''Fred:''' I don't even *know* 60 people.<br />
'''Jackie:''' [[Digging Yourself Deeper|Well, I didn't *know* all of them!]] }}
Line 193:
* [[Runaway Train]]: Played straight in the infamous episode "Roseambo," but is a deliberate runaway set up by women-hating terrorists.
* [[Service Sector Stereotypes]]: When working with the public, Roseanne is every bit as surly as with her own family.
* [[Shout
* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]]: [[Deadpan Snarker]] Roseanne vs. [[Stepford Smiler]] Kathy Bowman. It is glorious.
* [[The Snark Knight]]: Darlene could own this trope outright.
