* TheUnfavourite: Not as extreme as some other sitcom examples but still noticeable in flashbacks. Drew's brother was the more outgoing, popular and athletic sibling when they were growing up. He remains this ever after revealing himself as a crossdresser in the third season.

Added DiffLines:

* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: Kellie takes Kate's role as Drew's main female friend and eventual LoveInterest. However, she is much more sensitive and emotionally vulnerable than Kate. Also, while Kate was known to [[ReallyGetsAround play the field]] before finally settling down, Kellie already has a divorce under her belt and got married right out of high school, spending much of her adult life as a housewife.

Added DiffLines:

* CrossoverCouple: A CrossoverPunchline reveals that, back in high school, she previously expressed interest in [[Series/TheNormShow Artie Henderson]]. No real relationship blossomed because Norm forgot to give Artie her message at the time.


Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: Going by CrossoverPunchline, there was a time in school where she was more of a ShrinkingViolet that had no interest in make-up. Evidently, make-up helped her become more assertive.


Added DiffLines:

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: A big reason why Drew and Mimi's fighting and pranks never get them in trouble at work is because Wick finds it all rather hilarious. He's actually rather disappointed and disturbed by those rare occasions where they get along.

* OldShame: She lost her virginity to Oswald, which is attributed to some fooling around that escalated. When Drew and Lewis learn of this years after the fact, Kate insists she was drinking that day and that she tried very hard to forget it ever happened (which Oswald, of course, [[ImStandingRightHere takes offense to]]).

* DeadpanSnarker: He has a rather dry sense of humor, especially when reacting to the antics of Drew or the other characters.
* OnlySaneMan: Of Drew's co-workers, he's the only one focused on his actual job.

Added DiffLines:

* NotSoAboveItAll: [[DependingOnTheWriter Sometimes, depending on the writer]]. Kate was usually the OnlySaneMan of the group (even more so than Drew). But, there were a handful of episodes throughout the run where she could be as dim-witted or goofy as Lewis and Oswald.

* LargeHam: Naturally given that he's played by Creator/CraigFerguson.

to:

* IAmVeryBritish: He has an absurdly posh British accent that the Scottish Craig Ferguson deliberately made as ridiculous as possible, claiming it as revenge for years of bad Scottish accents by English actors.
* LargeHam: Naturally given that he's played by Creator/CraigFerguson. Not a scene goes by where he isn't chewing the scenery.

No longer a trope.

Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss / MeanBoss: Arguably just as bad as Mr. Wick, if not worse. In one episode, she [[DisproportionateRetribution fires a waiter]] in her company restaurant [[FelonyMisdemeanor because there was a shrimp fork in the olive dish]].
