History Series / YoureTheWorst

* HandOrObjectUnderwear: Characters can have sex on late-night television, but there are no female nipples allowed. It's very conspicuous in the opening scene of "Try Real Hard", in which Jimmy and Gretchen are having sex and his hand is aways covering her breast when one is on camera.

** In "Insouciance", when Gretchen walks back into the room to find Jimmy [[ADateWithRosiePalms busy]]:

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Jimmy is shown doing this in several scenes. Turns out he can't do it while Gretchen's watching, though.
** Gretchen has a vibrator plugged into a string of Christmas lights (couldn't find an extension cord) on her couch and is ''about'' to use it in "Fists and Feet and Stuff" before Jimmy shows up at her apartment. She also has one in her car, which she uses after getting bored with her meditation app.

* CoitusEnsues: Jimmy and Gretchen in the pilot when they've finished discussing the fact that they are [[TitleDrop the worst]].

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Played with. Jimmy and Gretchen aren't exactly "good people", but they are the protagonists and their sex life is portrayed as healthy and positive (even if the actual ''relationship'' can be dysfunctional). Just about every sexual encounter that ''isn't'' between the two of them is awkward or unpleasant in some way.

'''Gretchen:''': Hmmm... I know Louis Armstrong... [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]]... for some reason Kurt Loder is coming to mind...\\

* IShallTauntYou: Gretchen notices that Lindsay and Edgar's ditzy answers in a Trivial Pursuit game are annoying Jimmy (who is sitting on the other side of the room with his laptop), and she deliberately turns it UpToEleven during her turn.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** "LCD Soundsystem" is a total outlier among the show's episodes, almost completely devoid of the show's usual humor, instead using a couple that looks like a more grown up version of Jimmy and Gretchen to emphasize the magnitude of Gretchen's insecurities and dysfunctional state of mind.
** "Twenty-Two" in Season 3, doubling as ADayInTheLimelight episode following Edgar's ongoing struggle with PTSD and how it affects his everyday life.
** "The Seventh Layer." None of the main cast feature in the entire episode (save for one phone call with Lindsay). Instead, the episode follows Vernon and Paul as their car breaks down in the middle of a trip and they have to survive the night together.
** "The Intransigence of Love" starts off Season 5, and none of the main cast appear in the first half of the episode, as it's a story Jimmy and Gretchen are telling.

Also part of the main cast are Edgar (Desmin Borges), an Iraq War veteran living with Jimmy who's suffering from PTSD; and Lindsay (Creator/KetherDonohue), Gretchen's best friend, a newlywed who can't seem to get rid of her selfish nature at the expense of her husband.

* RealityEnsues: Jimmy wrote a magazine article about sleeping with Megan Thomas in season 1, and his agent informs him in season 2 that he can't get magazine work anymore because Megan Thomas tried to sue him over it.

Also part of the main cast are Edgar (Desmin Borges), an Iraq War veteran living with Jimmy who's suffering from PTSD; and Lindsay (Kether Donohue), Gretchen's best friend, a newlywed who can't seem to get rid of her selfish nature at the expense of her husband.

* BiTheWay: Gretchen, on more than one occasion, has tried to seduce the odd woman here and there. Most notably her work wife and Nina the bar owner.
-->'''Gretchen''': I tried to kiss Nina and she kicked me out of her bar.\\
'''Jimmy''': What? But you're so hot.\\
'''Gretchen''': I'm SO hot!\\
'''Jimmy''': Did you wear your booby shirt?\\
'''Gretchen''': Of course I wore my booby shirt!\\

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Jimmy told Becca "We haven't made love for the last time", at her own wedding. During the season Becca struggles with her feelings for Jimmy (and her being annoyed by Vernon), which culminated in [[YourCheatingHeart her going to Jimmy's place to have sex]]. Jimmy's reaction when she reminded him of his words:

* YourCheatingHeart:
** Played with in "PTSD." Because neither Gretchen nor Jimmy want to [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend admit they want a committed relationship with each other]], they [[OperationJealousy goad each other into sleeping with other people]] against their actual internalized desire.
** As a result of the events in "PTSD," in "Constant Horror and Bone-Deep Dissatisfaction," Becca [[spoiler:goes to Jimmy's place because she wants to sleep with him, his having taunted her about it during the wedding. He turns her down, brushing it off as a particularly good "heckle"]].
** Also as a result of the events in "PTSD," Lindsay starts sleeping around. In her own words, there's wife!Lindsay who supports her husband, and adulterer!Lindsay who just wants to [[ReallyGetsAround sit on everyone's faces]]. [[spoiler:In "The Last Sunday Funday," she finally tells Paul that part of her needs to be able to sleep with other men. Paul acquiesces, though is not happy with it]]. It ultimately takes its toll when [[spoiler:they do get divorced permanently and Paul aims to leave Lindsay with as little as possible out of vengeful spite]].
** The end of "All About That Paper" is a scene where, while Jimmy is asleep, Gretchen very quietly sneaks out of the house with a burner phone and drives away. This is followed up by a scene at the end of "We Can Do Better Than This," in which Jimmy notices this behavior. In "Side Bitch," he tries to determine whom she's sneaking around with, and goes so far as to contact the person on the burner phone. He eventually discovers that the person on the other end of the line is [[spoiler:Sam, and Gretchen isn't cheating with him; she's actually sneaking out at night to hide her depressive breakdowns, and she's only taking the burner phone Sam gave her to play Snake on it]].
** Introduced in "Spooky Sunday Funday," Nina is set up to be a new interest for Jimmy at a time when Gretchen and Jimmy are starting to have issues with one another. "A Rapidly Mutating Virus" has Nina actively hitting on Jimmy, which he turns down on account of Gretchen. [[spoiler:After Gretchen and Jimmy have an ambiguous break-up, he almost sleeps with Nina, but in "Other Things You Could Be Doing" they immediately stop and while Gretchen gives him a pass to sleep with Nina, ultimately he decides to stay with Gretchen]].
** Happens in Season 4 when Gretchen [[spoiler:has a drunken one-night affair with Boone's (now remarried) ex-wife]].

** Apparently Jimmy hasn't seen ''Disney/TheLionKing''. Gretchen amuses herself trying to make him say song lyrics.

'''Gretchen:''' Did you just quote ''Disney/TheLionKing'' to me?\\

* ButtMonkey: Edgar.
