History Series / UnbreakableKimmySchmidt

* CerebusRetcon: Kimmy's unexplained fear of velcro is a one-scene gag in the first season, just one of the many ways living in a bunker for fifteen years has made her odd. Come the second season finale we find out why: she was wearing shoes with velcro fasteners when the Reverend kidnapped her.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: By standard, this trope happens to everybody.
** Kimmy:
*** Dong was her first season LoveInterest, but towards the end, due to being a wanted guy by immigration, he asks her to have a green card wedding with him, but when she goes back to Durnsville to fight the Reverend, he marries Sonja to stay in the US. [[spoiler: In Season Two, they attempt to get together again, but this ends up resulting in the police finding out about their involvement and send him back to Vietnam]].
*** Season 3 has Kimmy's new found interest in a guy from her Philosophy class, Perry. But when he finds out about her past by googling her, she ends their possible romantic relationship due to feeling betrayed. She and him do make up, but they decide to stay friends.
** Titus:
*** Michael "Mikey" Politano is Titus LoveInterest and later boyfriend during Season Two. They have a very sweet loving relationship for a time, but Titus has to put their relationship on hold, with Mikey's support, to pursue his chance at working in a cruise. [[spoiler: By Season Three, Titus breaks up with him, because he realizes that Mikey needs to have more experience in dating other guys, or else he will just turn into Titus' DoggedNiceGuy, something that would be bad for their future relationship because Titus has already been in that position. They decide that, if they're meant to be, they will get together again. By the end, Titus swears to go after Mikey and get him back, even though Mikey is in a relationship with a man named Andrew.]]
*** Reuben becomes Titus' boyfriend after the former's grandmother set them up, but they not only quickly realize they have nothing in common, but that [[spoiler:Titus is just doing that to prove himself he is over Mikey, something he really isn't.]]
** Jacqueline:
*** In Season Three, [[spoiler: she breaks up with Russ, who, now handsome due to a surgery, has also become shallow and uninterested in the causes that motivated their relationship. During his time in the hospital, she manages to change the name of the Washington Redskins by herself, cook and learn she is strong by herself, no longer needing to depend on Russ if he wishes to join his family and leave the causes she still wants to fight for.]]
** Lillian:
*** In early Season Three, she breaks up with Bobby Durst, due to her [[spoiler: political career, he accepts due to realizing their relationship is unhealthy and that they need to move on, especially Lillian, who tends to live in the past]].
*** [[spoiler:Artie, her new interest who loves technology. They have a meaningful relationship, but have a fallout when he states that he has a device making his heart work and that it may only last one or two years, leading her to beg him to get a new heart, but he refuses to cut the line to a heart transplant using his money. They break up before their trip to Europe, though Lillian is still hung up on him and hoping for Kimmy to encourage her to [[RaceForYourLove run to the airport and get to him]]. While they do end up getting back together, Artie passes away between Seasons Three and Four.]]

* GlobalIgnorance: Kimmy received a present from Cyndee (she was her secret Santa), an embroidered world map, with all the continents: America (composed of "Canida," US, Mexico, South America), Australia, Africa, London, China and Japan.)

* CloningBlues: After the divorce, Jacqueline's ex-husband apparently had her cloned to be a replacement wife. The brief glimpse we get of the clone in Season Four shows her having a breakdown over which memories are really hers.

* TheBeard: Titus has a wife that he left behind to make it big in New York. After he goes viral, she locates him in Durnsville, Indiana.

** Season 3 takes a few jabs at the Drumpfs.

* GoshDangItToHeck: This apparently a an attribute of Durnsville.

** Season 3 takes a few jabs at the Trumps.

* LineOfSightName:

** When speaking to Ronan Farrow, Titus looks at items around his living room to construct the name "Ronan Farrow." In a later episode, Mikey comes up with the same name while glancing around the same room. We're led to assume that he's looking at the same items.

** When Jaqueline schedules a mass exodus from Deirdre's charity reception, she slowly raises her arms like the Night King in ''Series/GameOfThrones'' (or Tony Stark in ''Film/IronMan'')

** When Lilian doesn't recognize Titus and threatens him with a blade, he shouts, "It's your Titus!" This apes a scene from ''Film/LordOfTheRings'' when Frodo threatens Sam at blade-point, and Sam responds in the same way.

After spending the last 15 years trapped in a subterranean ApocalypseCult, Kimmy Schmidt and her three "sisters" are rescued by a SWAT team and return to the surface. Shocked to find that the world has, in fact, not ended as their cult's leader had told them, they become known across America as "the Mole Women". After an interview in Manhattan, Kimmy decides not to return to Indiana with the other girls. With nothing but a purple backpack, a middle school education, and an unbreakable spirit, she tries to make a life for herself in the Big Apple. Kimmy's larger-than-life roommate Titus, odd landlord Lillian, and wealthy employer Jacqueline help her out along the way.

** One of Xanthippe's friends delivers the punchline "...and she ''stepped'' on the ball!" causing everyone to laugh. This is a reference to ''Film/TradingPlaces'' and ''Literature/AuntieMame''. It receives a CallBack in Season 4, when Xanthippe's former lover says it.

** In one episode, one of Xanthippe's preppy friends delivers an OrphanedPunchline: "...and she ''stepped'' on the ball!" This is a reference to ''Film/TradingPlaces'', in which the preppy Bunny delivers this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt1T7d1jCeY same Orphaned Punchline]]. This, in turn, was a reference to a scene in ''Literature/AuntieMame'' in which Gloria Upson tells a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj7i88LQ9DE botched anecdote]] at a cocktail party with this punchline.

* BlackComedy: The show occasionally touches upon the horrific implications of four women being trapped underground for 15 years by a manipulative man. But, for the most part, it is an overwhelmingly positive show thanks to Kimmy's enthusiasm and positive nature.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler: After having failed to get a job as a street-crosser due to being still legally married to Reverend Wayne, Kimmy's spontaneously offered a job by an ex-classmate who founded his own company, because she was the only one who was nice and talked to him.]]

* MurderArsonAndJaywalking: In one episode, Titus is hired to sing backup vocals for a musician whose songs turn out to be about unhinged and frequently racist conspiracy theories. Titus is willing to ignore the content and collect his paycheck, until one song offends him so much he wants to quit. It turns out to be a lowbrow ([[EarWorm and surprisingly catchy]]) beach-pop song called "Boobs in California".

* RobotWar: Offhand remarks during Season Three indicate that the Yuko robots have TurnedAgainstTheirMasters and that there is one of these going on off-screen.

** Attempted by the owner of the store Titus rents his IronMan costume from, who tries to pass off his unlicensed, copyright-violating IronMan, HelloKitty, and [[Series/SesameStreet Cookie Monster]] costumes as those of "Metal Hero Friend," "Aloha Cat," and "Treat Creature."

On May 30, 2018, the first half of the fourth and final season was released, while the second is set to be released on January 25, 2019.

* AlternateTimeline: The episode sliding van doors shows a timeline where Kimmy never went into the reverend's van.

** When Jaqueline schedules a mass exodus from Deirdre's charity reception, she slowly raises her arms like the Night King in ''Series/GameOfThrones''
