Sassy Black Woman: Everyone isn't Lamarr working at the salon. Somewhat of a Justified Trope, as the cast is entirely Black and no one is a Token Black Friend.

The Loins Sleep Tonight: Episode 4 "Not Your Average Date"; the sisters tell Lamarr that he will cross the wrong person with his casual sexism and he may get cursed. Sure enough, later on in the episode, he goes on a date and can't get it up.
