Rephrase it if you will, but the exchange with the addiction counselour, the flirting attempts in earlier episodes, the porn, every sintance of liking the same guy as the women etc. etc. are all jokes. There\'s no denying that the trope is in effect.

* QueerPeopleAreFunny: Half the punchlines around Max are about his sexuality. A recent episode also had a same sex encounter between Jane and a college friend as a throwaway joke.

I disagree. Most of punchline\'s regarding Max tend to be about his laziness and self-centeredness.

''Happy Endings'' is an ABC sitcom that premiered in April 2011. The series begins when Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) dumps fellow friend and husband-to-be Dave (Zachary Knighton) [[RunawayBride at the altar]] to run away with a guy she knew from work. This completely traumatizes Dave, and leaves their friends (who were brought together due to Dave and Alex being a couple) lamenting how they will probably never see each other again.
Then Alex returns from the honeymoon that she and Dave planned. She never actually went with the coworker, she just wanted to get away because she wasn't ready to get married. But Dave is understandably ticked off, and now the friends have a new problem: having to either disband or pick sides between Dave and Alex.
Fortunately, by the end of the pilot Alex and Dave decide to stay friends, though they admit that they still hate each other. Meanwhile, Alex's sister Jane and her husband Brad are now so shocked by what happened that they are having trouble concentrating on their plans of trying to conceive their first child.
