History Series / CameraCafe

** Luca himself can qualify too.

* HopelessSuitor:
** Paolo to Gaia (actually to every female character except Patti). Since there's no Gaia in season 5, rigth now he seems very attracted to Gloria.
** Luca mostly to Emma and Maria Eleonora (and the other girls as well, except Patti of course).
** Olmo to Anna.
** Psychologist Sergio to Anna as well.
* HotChickInABadassSuit: Ilaria, Gaia, Jessica and Maria Eleonora.
** Lucrezia in season 5.

* JerkAss: someone more than others but well, pretty much everyone with Luca, Paolo, De Marinis, Andrea, and Vittorio being the best examples. Also Alex who is a big {{Jerkass}} to Luca (she gets better in season 5 though) and Geller, a MagnificentBastard who genuinely enjoys driving the other people crazy.

** Definitely Andrea, annoyingly so. ''Every single character'' (including Alex, Gaia, De Marinis, even ''Geller'') gets some humiliation or punishment in at least one episode. But there's basically no episode in which Andrea gets any sort of karmik comeuppance for being right-down sadistic and cruel. When it seems like he got screwed, he ends up beating up some ButtMonkey just because he's there. So the audience still remembers he's ''always'' the strongest.

* NeatFreak: Silvano and Maria Eleonora.

* OfficialCouple:
** Paolo and [[TheGhost Valeria]]. (Paolo and [[TheGhost the hooker Maruska]] can count too).
** Luca and Alex (well, actually Alex and every guy in the company). [[spoiler:Now they are engaged.]]
** Patti and Silvano, although they're more of PlatonicLifePartners (at least, until season 5). [[spoiler:Now they are waiting for a baby.]]

** There are exception though. In one episode ''Jessica'' punched Anna.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In season 3 Emma replaced Anna as the director's secretary. They were totally different chararacters though as Emma was nothing more than a boring ReplacementScrappy. After Emma's departure in saeson 5 they introduced the new secretary Gloria who was basically another Anna, the ditzy airhead type of secretary.

** Silvano seems to consider Luca and Paolo his best friends. Of course they don't treat him like a friend (not even like a human being) as they always take advantage of Silvano and pull on him cruel pranks, but in ''very very'' rare occasions, they actually try to help him or give him advice particularly about his relationship with Patti.

* AerithAndBob: Luca, Paolo and Andrea are three of the most common male names in Italy. Silvano and ''especially'' Olmo (which means "elm") are much more rare.

* DumbIsGood: stupid characters (like Patti, Silvano, Anna, Wanda, Gloria...) tend to be way too naive and innocent to be as mean and cynical as others. Patti in the later seasons is far less naive and more and more shrill and bossy.

* TheEeyore: [[TheWoobie Anna]].

* HopelessSuitor: Paolo to Gaia (actually to every female character except Patti, but Gaia is his dream girl). Since there's no Gaia in season 5, rigth now he seems very (sexually) attracted to Gloria.

** Patti to everyone, but she has to settle with the only one interested, Silvano. Maybe Silvano is the one she really loves but she just desperately wants to have sex with ''anyone''.

* OfficialCouple: Paolo and [[TheGhost Valeria]]. (Paolo and [[TheGhost the hooker Maruska]] can count too).
** Luca and Alex (well, actually Alex and every guy in the company). [[spoiler:Now they are going to marry each other.]]

* OppositesAttract: Luca and Alex. Not that opposites actually: they are both ill-natured, cynical, sarcastic, rebellious and anti-conformist. But there's a big difference: Alex ReallyGetsAround and Luca is always alone and never gets a girl. Ever.
** Another difference is that Luca is a self-proclaimed intellectual BookWorm, Alex...not so much.

* MagnificentBastard: the director, Mr. De Marinis, ''is'' this trope incarnate, but two characters are [[UpToEleven even better than him]] at this, namely his daughter Chiara, and that in-universe NightmareFuelStationAttendant that is Guido Geller.

* MotorMouth: Patti and Anna, the latter only in case of nervous breakdowns.
** Maria Eleonora, at times.

* GeniusDitz: Silvano ''and how''. Yes, he acts like an idiot ([[CatchPhrase TOH-GOH!]]), he's extremely gullible, childish, naive and he's generally considered the dumbest character in the show. Yet, he's a math genius and excels at everything related to numbers, logic and statistics (his abilities with numbers are supposed to be better than any computer's or calculator's). He also knows everything about the animal world (because of his love for documentaries); he has a degree in economics with the highest score; he's a great chess player, is good at every board game, can solve the Rubik Cube in a few seconds and so on... His main problem is the lack of common sense and social skills.

** ''Andrea''.

** Also Paolo's stalker (and occasional lover) Lucrezia, so very much.

* MsFanservice: some of the girls are pretty damn sexy when they're wearing the right clothes. Case in point: Alex, Gaia, Ilaria, Jessica, Giovanna and after the company merged with its rival Digitex, Caterina and Maria Eleonora. [[FetishFuel There's plenty for everyone]]. Most blatant in the episode, "La più bella dell'ufficio", that is, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The most beautiful one in the office]]", where even [[TheWoobie Anna]] goes sexy (while [[{{Gonk}} Patti]]... er, [[NoYay is trying to do her best]]).

** In Season 5, it's revealed that Olmo's mom picked the former's name [[Manga/DragonBall from a list of vegetables.]]

* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Luca and Paolo, so very much. Bordering in VillainProtagonist at times.

* LikeAWeasel: all over the place in the show, especially concerning Luca.

** Also subverted with [[TheSociopath Vittorio]].

* DumbIsGood: stupid characters (like Patti, Silvano, Anna, Wanda Gloria...) tend to be way too naive and innocent to be as mean and cynical as others. Patti in the later seasons is far less naive and more and more shrill and bossy.

* DumbIsGood: stupid characters (like Patti, Silvano, Anna, Gloria...) tend to be way too naive and innocent to be as mean and cynical as others. Patti in the later seasons is far less naive and more and more shrill and bossy.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Many.

* LoonyFan: Paolo is quite a fan of Italian band [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pooh_(band) Pooh]] ([[NamesTheSame no, not]] [[WinnieThePooh that one]]).

* EvilVersusEvil: Luca vs. De Marinis is the most frequent.
** One episode puts the two office's resident psychopaths (Andrea and Vittorio) against each other.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Luca, Luca, Luca. As well as most of the other characters.

* {{Malaproper}}: Paolo. Just Paolo.

* MotorMouth: Patti and Anna, the latter only in case of nervous breakdowns.

* {{Schemer}}: Again, Paolo and Luca.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: played straight with [[TheChewToy Patti]] (and sometimes Wanda) but averted with all the other female characters.

* DeadBabyComedy: subverted in that nobody makes jokes about certain subjects. This doesn't mean the character just ''won't stop'' [[CrapsackWorld being complete assholes to each other]]. Their mistreatment of Wanda, an old employee, counts as this trope.

* BookDumb: Paolo. So, so much.
** However, despite him being clueless about ''anything'' remotely academic, Paolo is shown to be able to scheme at times and his ability to trick his clients makes him the best salesman in the company. He also seems to have a vast knowledge about cars. He borders on GeniusDitz.

* BookDumb: Paolo. So, so much. His over the top ignorance is PlayedForLaughs.
--> '''Luca''': "We don't need a calculator. 86 + 86..."
--> '''Paolo''': "Eighty-twelve!"
** or worse...
--> '''Paolo''': "Silvano, "apple" is spelled with one P, right?"
--> '''Silvano''': "No, Paolo, with double P..."
--> '''Paolo''': "Are you sure? Even if the apple is just one?"

** Paolo's stalker (and occasional lover) Lucrezia, so very much.

* TheComicallySerious: ''Guido Geller''.

* NoAccountingForTaste: Luca and Alex.

* HotChickInABadassSuit: Ilaria, Gaia, Jessica and Maria Eleonora.
