Mitchell/YMMV

"Mitchell: "She'll lie in my bed for free.""
 * Badass Boast: Mitchell seems to try and invoke this when talking to Deaney after finding out he was the one who paid Greta. Deaney seems... Unconvinced.


 * Designated Hero: The title character is an alcoholic slob of a cop who behaves like a complete Jerkass most of the time. Sure, he's a little more on the ball than his colleagues (only he suspects that Deaney may not have acted in self defense), but other than that he's a damn lousy cop. When a criminal tries to bribe him by sending him a prostitute, he actually sleeps with her. And then arrests her for possessing marijuana. Nice.
 * The last item is Played for Laughs.
 * Ear Worm: The theme song.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: In one Mystery Science Theater 3000 segment, Joel remarks about professional golf player Frank Urban "Fuzzy" Zoeller: "What a great guy!" A few years later there was a controversy when Fuzzy Zoeller made a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods.
 * Special Effect Failure: The visible boom mike during the dinner scene; Joel helpfully points it out.
 * Squick: BABY OIL!?
