Chekhov's Gun: Carmine's affinity towards a very special type of coffee bean. At first it seems to be just an excuse for his nickname "The Beans", but after he and his family go into Witness Protection, the mobsters use it find him as, since Carmine's disappearance, there has only been one new home address ordering the special beans that Carmine likes.

comment
Nosy Neighbor: The neighborhood in which Carmine and his family move on has one, who is on the phone the minute she leaves their house to turn most of the neighborhood (all Mormons) against them — not because of Carmine's ties to the Mafia (they don't know it), but because the neighborhood is all Mormons and the "Cheesemans" are Catholics.

comment
National Stereotypes: Carmine hits all the points for Italian-Americans, a "wiseguy" who peppers his dialogue with "badda bing, badda boom"s, and rigorously assists to church, which really sticks out when he goes to a Mormon neighborhood, as he and his family are the only ones to assist to the local Catholic church.

comment
Fish out of Water: Carmine and his family are placed in a Mormon neighborhood completely unfamiliar to them, and most of the humor is derived from them adapting to it.
