* BackToSchool: It turns out Bryce was 3 credits short of graduating this whole time. He's stoked about it because he fully admits he peaked in high school.
* BadLiar. when Bryce is touring Simi Valley High School, his recollections stray further and further from being credible to where he reveals the "15 stair" he ollied back in the day is a dinky 5 stair leading directly into a hallway. His defense? "They tore it down, this hallway is brand new".

He also shits himself because of a simple switch-the-sign prank on the bathroom door and can't figure out which way to open a door because the push/pull sign was reversed. To be fair, he's high ''most'' of the time.

a bunch more tropes


* CatFight: Dani and Tessa in the garage, and the realtors during the open house
* ConfessionCam: Frequent cutaway to talking heads provide commentary mid-scene
* CuddleBug: Aldis often interacts with others, especially Wade and Johnny, through strange forms of physical contact

to:

* BreakingTheFourthWall: As is the style with reality tv, every character is fully aware they are subjects of a reality show, with all requisite cutaways and references to the cameramen and previous seasons.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite his, well, everything, Johnny turns out to be a surprisingly competent manager of Dunc Surf. He also shits himself because of a simple switch-the-sign prank

Added DiffLines:

* EasilyForgiven: Everybody all the time about everything. They're just bros, after all.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveTriangle: Duncan proposed to Tessa, then Dani got with Duncan after Tessa broke it off, then she broke up with him too. [[spoiler: By the end of the 3rd season, he's gotten back with both of them and neither knows yet.]]
* OnlySaneMan: Most characters get this at one time or another, but it's most often Xander or, surprisingly Johnny, who seems to often be the only one to comment on the absurdity of the current going-ons.


Added DiffLines:

* RealityShow: Real Bros is a parody of these kinds of shows UpToEleven, which means nearly every reality show trope applies here too. Which is ironic, because ''Real Bros of Simi Valley'' is ''not'' actually a reality show itself: It's a scripted parody made to look like an 'unscripted' reality show.
* RuleOfDrama: Given the satirical nature, nearly every minor disagreement in the show is treated with utmost gravitas.
** This also seems to be covertly enforced by the in-universe show's producers, who go so far as to introduce [[spoiler: Chelsie]] just to stir up drama all season.
* TitleDrop: usually happens for the episode title, but Xander also title drops the show's name in the season 1 finale.


Added DiffLines:

** All the males too, honestly.

* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: Hawk returns at Xander and Molly's wedding and he's inexplicably college-aged.]]
