Yes, Dear: Difference between revisions

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Jimmy's dating advice to Dominic during the episode ''Dominic's First Date''. Christine disagrees.

* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Greg and Kim make lists of all the people they have kissed in their lifetime. Kim is horrified to learn that Greg has kissed 49 women while she has only kissed 7 men and calls Greg a man-whore before storming out angrily. Jimmy manages to calm her down by explaining that Greg's number is actually pathetically low. He didn't even hit 50!

'''Kim:''' Well, forty-nine of them said "yes".<br />

'''Jimmy:''' Yeah, but he probably asked about five ''hundred''. }}

** At the end of one episode, two people who won a contest for a walk on role for the show are just standing in Greg's house. Jimmy explains they won a contest, and Greg tells them to step off camera so they'll seen on wide screen.

* [[Breast Attack]]: Kim accidentally did this to Mr. Savitsky's then-wife in the episode ''Savitsky's Tennis Club'' while playing tennis.

* [[Book Dumb]]: Jimmy. Though he is bad at studying, in the everyday life he is much wiser than he seems to be.

* [[Bumbling Dad]]: Jimmy and his own dad, Big Jimmy. Greg's dad, Tom, is no Albert Einstein himself.

* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Following a wrong phone number, Greg lies about having a dying relative in order to get out of a church function and does so in a church itself. Only Jimmy knows the truth and urges Greg to come clean. He doesn't, and it comes back to bite him in the end. Jimmy then says of God, [[Karmic Trickster|"You sneaky little fella."]]

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: All of the things Greg's dad is taught about background characters in ''Let's Get Jaggy With it'' are used or made fun of by the actual background characters on the show, including a rule that states that actors can't be paid speaking role wages if more than six people say the same words together.

* [[Line-of-Sight Name]]: [[Exaggerated Trope|Exaggerated]]. Greg is pressured by his family and a group therapist to explain why he hates Jimmy and Christine so much, so he makes up a story about how he was bullied at summer camp, all from things in the therapist's office.

* [[Lost Love Montage]]: It became a running joke to feature Greg flashing back to some character he became friends with but lost like they were an ex-girlfriend. Common activities included doing each other's hair, riding Razor scooters, playing checkers, and playing guitar with Chicago's "Hard Habit to Break" playing throughout.

* [[Strongly Worded Letter]]: Greg and Kim write one in response to a neighbor scaring Sammy in ''Halloween.'' It goes over as well as you'd expect.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: The flashback episode, ''When Jimmy Met Greggy'', has Jimmy, Christine and Kim making comments that foreshadows the premise of the series.

 

 

'''Jimmy''': Thanks for saying that, but I don't really like staying in other people's houses, you know. I just, uh, I just don't feel comfortable. }}

* [[The Thing That Would Not Leave]]
