Line 11:
** Given a chance to call Monty out, Jake is quiet for some time before musing, "Gee, where to begin..." and ''then'' winding up into his tirade.
** Given a chance to call Monty out, Jake stays silent. But Jake's best friend Bob won't let the chance pass, and start calling Monty out. Jake remains silent, only staring at Monty vehemently instead of defending him.
* '''Parodied''': Monty acts in a monstrous fashion to Jake without any sign of any reaction or resentment from Jake. The very second Monty does something mildly irritating however, like spill salt on the table, [[Berserk Button|Jake lets him have it with both barrels]].
* '''Deconstructed''': Jake calls out Monty, but he doesn't give a damn; this nasty treatment has worked all this time, so he's not about to change now. He keeps acting up, fully expecting Jake to fold because [[Status Quo Is God]].
* '''Reconstructed''': Monty's in for a nasty surprise; Status Quo ''Isn't'' God in this case, and when Jake tells Monty he's not about to take any more of Monty's crap anymore, Jake means it only too well. The first time Monty tries to pull any of his old [[Jerkass]] tricks again, Jake gives him the hiding of a lifetime and then cuts Monty out of his life forever, leaving Monty alone and powerless unless he changes his ways.
Line 18:
* '''Enforced''':
** The writer has a chip on their shoulder about their own father and the poor relationship they had, and has decided to call out his own father through a fictional equivalent.
** Monty is [[The Scrappy]] for what he's done and the writers [[Take That, Scrappy!|have something bad happen to him to please the fans.]]
* '''Lampshaded''': "You've had this speech coming a long time, Dad, and now you're just going to ''shut the hell up and listen for once''!!!"
* '''Invoked''': Monty is a [[Sink or Swim Mentor]] (or at least sees himself as such) and has treated Jake in such a fashion in order to provoke such a reaction to prove that he can stand on his own two feet.
