Double Standard: Violence, Child on Adult
 Mr. Nanny / int_2994d40d
comment
Double Standard: Violence, Child on Adult: Few gags depend on this. Some of the pranks that the two kids carry on on Sean include putting broken glass on his chair for him to sit on, using a supermagnet when he's working out to mess with his 200+ pound barbell before letting it fall down from the ceiling. He dodges it in time, but it could have easily killed him. They also rig a device to electrocute him in the bathroom when he steps out of the shower. Of course, it's played for laughs because of the use of Amusing Injuries.

Empty Swimming Pool Dive
 Mr. Nanny / int_c205e4d5
comment
Empty Swimming Pool Dive: In the backstory, this is what happened to Tommy Thanatos. While fighting Sean, Thanatos accidentally ran off the roof of a building and landed head-first in the empty pool of the next door hotel. It would have killed him, but his afro cushioned the fall. Nonetheless, he needed to have a metal plate put on afterwards.

Contrived Coincidence: It's awfully convenient that the man trying to steal Alex Mason's chip also happened to be the corrupt wrestling promoter who saw Sean blacklisted from the business.
