* CheatedDeathDiedAnyway: Nate learns at the end of Season 1 that he has a brain condition which means he could have a seizure or stroke at any time. The first couple of seasons build up to Nate having the risky surgery that will repair his condition, which he eventually does, and he is cured and appears to live a normal and much happier life. Then he has a second brain haemorrhage that has built up since he had it repaired, but he's expected to make a full recovery. [[spoiler:Then he actually has another haemorrhage that results in his death.]]

* AimlesslySeekingHappiness: He's repeatedly called out for this. In general, Nate's whole [=MO=] is that he'll do something impulsive (like marrying Lisa just because she's pregnant) and expect it to change his whole life. When it doesn't, he immediately starts seeking excuses to get out of it.



* BlitheSpirit: Deconstructed. Nate likes to think he's one of these, but Ruth and Brenda especially both call him out on it, pointing out that it's actually just irresponsible and difficult.
* BreakTheHaughty: While they were extremely badly suited in general, [[spoiler:Lisa's death]] serves as this for him after months of their relationship deteriorating and him pulling further away from her.



* CoolBigBro: A rare example where this also crosses over with "disappointing", but Claire and David clearly admire his lothario status even as they struggle to accept him.
* DisappointingOlderSibling: Both Claire and David admire him greatly, and both have to deal with BrokenPedestal when they realize that Nate borders on being a selfish dick.
* DisneylandDad: Played with in a type 2. He genuinely loves his kids, but also resents being tied down by them, which means that he frequently overcompensates.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:He dies very suddenly in Season 5.]]



* HenpeckedHusband: [[spoiler:To Lisa.]]



%%* TheHeroDies

to:

%%* TheHeroDies* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Of an aneurysm in Season 5.]]



* ItsAllAboutMe: Discussed. He tries to avoid falling into this, recognizing his own selfishness, but can never fully overcome the selfish edge to his personality.



* {{Manchild}}: Nate slips more and more into this after having previously improved when he inherited the mortuary, as he struggled continuously with his fear of getting older.



* SecretlySelfish: Partly. He tends to make grand pronouncements that suit him, but he pretends they're all about his partner, whether romantically or platonically.

* BreakTheCutie: David is a very kind, optimistic person, whose kindness gets taken advantage of in Season 4 as [[spoiler:he gets abducted and psychologically and physically tortured, threatened with death.]]



* ExtremeDoormat: David struggles to stand up for what he wants with everyone.
* FamilyMan: He deeply struggles with the fact that he longs for a family and Keith doesn't, and feels a deep attachment to the other Fishers.



* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:With Keith, eventually.]]



* LittleBrotherInstinct: Though he and Nate don't really get on very well, David is still deeply protective of him.



* ThePollyanna: Despite his intense grief over his father's death, David insists upon being optimistic and clear-headed at all times, which only falters after his deeply traumatic experience in Season 4.
* RedOniBlueOni: The "blue oni" to Keith's "red", a kind and gentle funeral director who ends up married to a cop who struggles to keep his temper in check.

David loves that Keith is much more hot blooded and confrontational than he is, but David also struggles with the more repressive aspects of Keith's attitude and reigning in his temper at times - though they still end up [[spoiler:happily married.]]

* ApronMatron: Downplayed. Ruth isn't that loud or domineering, but she also runs her household closely and the Fishers ultimately know not to mess with her.



* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Because Ruth has been married for so long, she really hasn't had to judge people too much so, when Nathaniel dies, she's prone to ''extreme'' poor boyfriends or even friends.
* ICouldaBeenAContender: As an artist. It's part of the reason she fears Claire quitting so much.



* MyBelovedSmother: Deconstructed. Ruth can be downright smothering of her kids at times, but they eventually recognize that this is because she doesn't know who she is outside of domestic life, and the finale shows her [[spoiler:letting go of Claire]] as she moves on to adult life.



* ParentsAsPeople: She genuinely loves and wants to help her kids...but that doesn't stop her from finding them deeply annoying at times and making poor decisions.
* StayInTheKitchen: Ruth at least partially imposed this on herself, but also viewed it as her duty, as she tells Claire when Claire quits school.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Billy, a role she starts to pull away from more and more as time passes.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Deconstructed. Nate wants her to be one, but her actual manic behavior actually makes them both miserable, and she calls him out on not supporting her once she matured.



* TookALevelInKindness: She goes from an impulsive, selfish sex and drug addict to a stable [[spoiler:adoptive mother to Maya.]]



%%* ButNotTooBlack

to:

%%* ButNotTooBlack* ButNotTooBi: While he does have sex with a woman, he never has a relationship with one, even during times when he and his OneTrueLove, David, are broken up.

* {{Gaynst}}: He largely accepts his sexuality, but his real fear is coming out publicly, over which he and David clash.
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:To David, eventually.]]
* {{Hunk}}: This is acknowledged and commented upon repeatedly in-universe; a lot of people are ''very'' attracted to Keith.



* ScaryBlackMan: A rare heroic example who still can be very scary when times call for it.
* SourOutsideSadInside: While Keith can be aggressive, this is covered by a FreudianExcuse of domestic violence in his childhood and his father's own homophobia.



* {{Tsundere}}: A naturally "harsh" example due to his environment, but he has a very soft side that he shows to David, it's just hard to get it out of him.
