Beneath Notice: Exploited and Played for Laughs in "Invisible Spy". Her counterpart is similarly-built with an identical haircut, proving to have some Fearful Symmetry to boot. | |

Likes Older Men: Gabrielle says she likes "mature" men and once went on a date with a man who was part of the Civil Rights Movement much to her friends' disgust. She found the date very informative. | |

Only Sane Man: A recurring gag with the "What Up, I'm Three" skits is that only one woman is initially willing to call out the situation. | |

Captain Oblivious: The mother in the "What Up I'm Three" sketches is so hellbent on being a mother that she refuses to accept that her "toddler" is a full-grown woman. She becomes angry when anyone tries to point it out. | |

Sophisticated as Hell: Used regularly; Rome and Julissa is a setting update to Romeo and Juliet that adapts feuding families to fandom rivalry between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. It has modern slang with mild swearing spoken in iambic pentameter. | |

Evil Sounds Raspy: "Baby" Annie's real voice, when she's dropped her pretense of being a toddler, sounds like a chainsmoker. She's an adult thief using her guise to rob people. In the 3K sketch, the teacher switches to the same chainsmoker voice when she reveals herself to be a drug dealer on the side. | |

Motivated by Fear: In "Track Girl Magic," Coach Butler reveals her method for turning the worst track team into the unbeaten best over just a few weeks is simply employing a sleight-of-hand magician to terrify the deeply religious Mississippian women into sprinting for their lives away from the "black magic." | |
