Line 24:
** More explicitly hinted at in the episode where Jim has to give a sperm sample but asks Andy to give it in his place.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Jim's dad left him when he was a kid, reuniting with him after 35 years.
* [[Drink Order]]: How Jim judges women's personalities. White wine=classy yet unpretentious, lemon drop=high maintenance, and cosmos=[[Axe Crazy]].
* [[Double Standard]]: In several episodes Cheryl will get mad at Jim for saying something stupid, usually sexist. Only to later find herself in a situation in which proves Jim was right, and goes to great lengths to prevent him from finding out.
** For example in one episode Jim explains that men and women's brains are wired so they won't remember certain things, Cheryl gets mad at him, only to later find herself trapped in the garage because none of the girls can remember the key code for the door, which her toddler son punches in effortlessly. She makes one last ditch effort to prove him wrong but can't even remember the code when hes just explained it to her.
Line 35:
* [[I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine]]: [[Dan Aykroyd]] guest starred in two episodes as an old friend of Jim's.
* [[Instrumental Theme Tune]]
* [[Ironic Echo Cut]]: Jim competes in an [[Eating Contest]] during a family picnic. Cheryl urges him to stop, but Jim replies: "They'd have to pump my stomach before I quit!" Cut to the next scene where paramedics carry Jim off to hospital, saying: "He'll be fine after we pump his stomach."
* [[Jerkass]]: Everybody has their moment of this from time to time, but mostly Jim, Dana and Andy.
* [[Long Runners]]
Line 42:
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: The Devlins, the single most IRRITATING couple you'll ever meet, both in-universe and out, they're perpetually happy and overly friendly people who NEVER seem to get mad at anyone for anything, they laugh at EVERYTHING in the most annoying way and make the WORST jokes imaginable. I know them being annoying was the point, but the writers succeeded in that department a little TOO well.
* [[No Name Given]]: Jim, Cheryl, Andy and the kids are only referred to by their first names; Dana originally had no last name as well, but this changed after she married Dr. Ryan Gibson and adopted his surname.
* [[Obnoxious In-Laws]]: Played straight with Dana, but also averted with Andy.
** Jim's also got a very healthy and friendly relationship with his mother in-law, to the point that Andy often got jealous about Jim being her favourite "son". When Dana married Ryan, Jim actually became jealous of losing his spot.
* [[Paintball Episode]]
* [[Practical Joke]]: Cheryl, Andy, and Dana make Jim think his dead friend came back to life, because Jim stole back his playing card that said friend stole the day before he died.
* [[Primal Fear]]: Jim is terrified of spiders.
* [[Punctuated!
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Kimberly Williams-Paisley
* [[Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud]]: When Jim uses an earpiece and hidden microphone to communicate to Andy, he tells him to tell the girl he's picking up to "Stay beautiful," and walk away. Andy tells her "Stay beautiful and walk away." Twice.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Jim's real-life son Robert Belushi appeared in about eleven episodes - sometimes as [[Casting Gag|an older version of Kyle]].
