Line 1:

'''Brian''': Amen to your oy. }}
Line 8:
A spin of sorts on the 'A priest and a rabbi' jokes.
{{tropelist}}
* [[The Bartender]]: Pauly, who accordingly listens to Brian's story and dispenses advice when he's finished.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The skyscraper across from Anna's office with the windows that can be looked into becomes important in the climax of the film.
* [[Confessional]]: Brian is seen hearing confessions at his parish, though when he sees Anna in the booth {{spoiler|after he kissed her and she confessed she was in love with Jake}}, he balks.
{{quote|
* [[Converting for Love]]: Strongly implied with Anna.
* [[Cool Teacher]]: Jake, when he's helping a young member of his congregation learn a Haftarah for his Bar Mitzvah.
Line 22:
* [[Good Shepherd]]: Brian does charity and community work and is obviously well-loved by his flock.
** Could also apply to Jake, who is popular with his congregation and helping Brian to set up a joint Jewish-Catholic community centre.
* [[Hey,
** And [[Alias (TV series)|Arvin Sloane]] is the president of Jake's synagogue.
* [[Hot for Preacher]]: Averted, but see [[Sexy Priest]] trope below
* [[How We Got Here]]: 3/4 of the film is Brian recounting to Pauly how he came to end up drinking in his tavern.
* [[I Have No Son]]: Jake's mom disowns his older brother Ethan after he marries a Catholic girl.
** Although {{spoiler|it's ultimately revealed that she's at least attempted to reconcile with Ethan, who isn't willing to accept it.}}
* [[Irishman and
* [[Ironic Echo Cut]]: Used after Jake's attempt to liven up his Shabbat service by having the Harlem Gospel Choir perform 'Ein Kelokeinu'

'''Rabbi Lewis''': Let's just say they're less than thrilled.
''[Cut to meeting with Larry, the president of the synagogue]''
'''Larry''': To be honest we're less than thrilled. }}
* [[Jewish Mother]]: Jake's mom spends a lot of time harassing Jake about his love life.
* [[Jews Love to Argue]]: A brief flashback shows Jake arguing with his father. Brian's narration implies that the argument is over Jake's decision to become a rabbi instead of entering into the family business. The argument is unheard, save for Jake's closing line:
{{quote|
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: [[Lampshaded]] by Jake when Brian admits he's in love with Anna:
{{quote|
'''Brian''': Yes, thankyou for adding depth to my confusion! }}
* [[Montages]]: Several.
** There's a [[Good Times Montage]] showing Brian, Jake and Anna hanging out together. Overlaps as a [["Falling in Love" Montage]], as it also covers {{spoiler|Jake}} and Anna falling in love.
** Then there's the [[Drunken Montage]] when Brian wanders the streets drinking....
** ....and this is followed by a [[Sad Times Montage]] since the trio are now separated/not speaking to each other.
Line 49:
* [[Secret Relationship]]: Anna and {{spoiler|Jake}}
* [[Sexy Priest]]: [[Lampshaded]] by Anna in a conversation with Brian:
{{quote|
* [[She
* [[The Talk]]: A subversion of sorts. Anna asks Brian a bunch of questions about his celibacy vow.
* [[Triang Relations]]: Of the Type 4 variety, where Anna is in a secret relationship with {{spoiler|Jake}} and {{spoiler|Brian}} is in love with her and unaware of the relationship.
* [[Two Guys and
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: Anna to {{spoiler|Jake}}
* [[What Exactly Is His Job?|What, Exactly, Is Her Job?]]: The audience never exactly knows what Anna's job is, other than that it's in business or management. Brian describes it as 'analysing synergies or synergising analogies'
* [[Workaholic]]: Anna, and how! She carries her cellphone with her everywhere and has it [[Fetish Fuel|strapped to her thigh]] when she's on a date.
