* [[Groin Attack]]: An accidental version of this happens on the episode, ''Hooked on Comics'', in which Greg's father, Tom, does this to himself... WITH A TOY AIRPLANE HE CONTROLS!
** Another example is in ''Natural Born Delinquents'', when Jimmy mentions how Logan once hit him in the "cherries" after he took a bite out of Logan's pudding pop. At the end of the same episode, Greg also suffered the same incident.
* [[Halloween Episode]]: ''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Halloween]]''

Line 56:
* [[It Will Never Catch On]]: A number of critics predicted the series would be the first of the Fall 2000 batch to be cancelled. Oh, it did end - after six seasons.
* [[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 Onon 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.
