* AllLovingHero: Both Gary and Joel are ridiculously nice and accepting to everyone. Megan doesn't even count them as real friends as a result of their LoveYouAndEverybody attitudes.

Unlike ''Archer'' however, the show never found much success, receiving average-to-negative reviews and suffering from extremely low ratings. It was axed after its first season and can now be seen in reruns on Creator/AdultSwim, with a TV-MA rating for very strong offensive language (L)[[note]]the word "shit" and use of "Jesus Christ!" and "Goddamn" as oaths can be heard sans censorial bleeping or muting -- a far cry from the early days of Creator/AdultSwim, when "shit" and "Goddamn" would be dubbed out of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' and viewers threw a fit when they heard that Don Hertzfeldt's ''Rejected'' was going to be banned because one of the vignettes had a character saying, "Sweet Jesus!" and when ''Futurama'' had two episodes edited to remove the Professor saying "Holy Zombie Jesus!"[[/note]], explicit sexual content (S)[[note]]mostly barely-censored nudity and very crude sexual references, though a brief scene of a naked Viking warrior having anal sex with a wench was seen on the episode "Stupid Idiots" and there is talk of gay sex and child molestation[[/note]], and bloody violence (V). However, this has been phased out due to Creator/AdultSwim airing the final season of ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''.

This is perhaps best shown when they get put into assigned reading groups and Megan protest, but only because she was put into the remedial one.

* HotBlooded: Joel tends to get riled up easily.



* {{Jerkass}}: Most of the characters that aren't Gary or Joel are this, but especially Gary's stepmom and Megan. Characters like Darius and Sid verge into JerkWithAHeartOfGold territory.
* LoserProtagonist: Gary, Joel, Megan and Russ. Gary and Joel are lighter examples as neither seem to particularly care and they appear to be at least moderately liked by the town.



* ParentalNeglect: The main driving force behind the entire show. Gary's stepmother is ether out of town with her boyfriend, or heartbroken and sitting in the dark smoking pot. What exactly going on in Joel's family is yet to be seen.

* NiceGuy: Both Gary and Joel are both incredibly friendly, open-minded and trusting, but also very naive and ignorant.

What exactly going on in Joel's family is yet to be seen.Joel has it slightly better as his parents are more present, but both are impossibly old and still do little actual parenting.

* RedOniBlueOni: Joel and Gary, respectively. While both are excitable idiots, Gary is significantly more calm and mature than Joel is, likely due to having to raise himself.
