Line 1:
{{tropework}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: Bennie's parents. They take [[Abusive Parents]] to a whole new level, making Benny look like a great parent in comparison. George even lampshades this at the end of the only episode in which one of them appears (Bennies mother)
{{quote| '''George''': ''(she walks out of the backyard)'' [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Damn, I think I just saw some flowers die as she walked by.]]}}
** Zack Powers might qualify too. He is known to take advantage of innocent young girls with low self-esteem and dump them the minute they have sex with him. He also got a girl pregnant and ''completely abandoned her and the baby afterward''. And he came ''this close'' to doing the same to Carmen. Even the alleged [[Freudian Excuse]] that Carmen gives does ''nothing'' to make this guy likeable.
* [[Family -Unfriendly Aesop]]: The show gives the moral that sometimes bullying can get so bad, you have to run away from the situation. Carmen was called a whore at her first high school, due to her ex-boyfriend telling everyone that they had sex. George and Angie get the leader of the bullies suspended, and get the ex-boyfriend to tell the truth. However, the episode ends with Carmen ''still'' getting bullied, and George and Angie making the conclusion that Carmen can never get her reputation back, and that she must leave the school.
** That's unfortunately [[Truth in Television]].
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Danny boy, a lazy worker voiced by Lopez, always called into work with hilarious phone calls, making excuses for not being there. This eventually stops, and seems like [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]], but considering he never showed up, he was actually probably fired.
Line 13:
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Veronica
* [[Tear Jerker]]: When George screws up and can't get Angie's mother a grave next to her, and ''then'' we realize Angie's last words to her mother... It's very heartbreaking for people who are very close to their mothers.
{{quote| '''Angie''': It's too late, it can't be fixed. ''(she starts crying)'' It can '' '''never''' be fixed.''}}
** Also Carmen being forced to leave her school after being insulted and sexually harassed.
*** Manny Lopez's death. Especially George's reaction when Manny {{spoiler|requests that he and Benny don't come to his funeral ''just so they won't "[[ItsIt's All About Me|tarnish his reputation]]"''}}.
{{quote| '''George''': He wants me to keep this watch to remember him by? Y'see, Angie? This is why they're [''momentos''] just things! (''[[Heroic BSOD|smashes the watch out of sheer fury]]'')
