History YMMV / CameraCafe

* DracoInLeatherPants: Luca and Paolo, of course. ''Especially'' Paolo.

* EvilIsCool:
** Andrea all the way.
** Geller would count but really YMMV if he's really evil or just a MagnificentBastard.

* NightmareFuel: When you work in this company, you know that you can trust ''nobody''. Want a coffe? Watch out for Andrea and pray that he doesn't notice you. Need to work late? Good luck explaining that to Vittorio ''before'' he tries to shoot you. Doing anything at all? Hope that Geller doesn't read something in it.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: The sixth season which came out in 2017, five years after the end of the previous one, and [[ChannelHop was brought]] to the second channel of Italian state television, reeks of this trope. The company [[ChinaTakesOverTheWorld has been sold to the Chinese]], the episodes reference often apps, social networks, new technologies and fads like the "mannequin challenge"[[note]]This one is actually lampshaded, since they were forced to do it to make the company be still relevant[[/note]], there's talks of immigrants like one of their new co-workers, however despite all this the episodes still go on about the same way as always. Some say that it's meant to show how office life never really changes, others say that for that reason such specific references aren't needed and will one day turn the most recent episodes into an UnintentionalPeriodPiece.

--> '''[[TheWoobie Anna:]]''' ''"Obviously, my babysitter got away after stealing the only valuable thing I had in my house."''
--> '''Luca:''' ''"And she didn't take your children away with her?"''
* HilariousInHindsight: after this series premiered, there was another series from South America [[PatitoFeo with a certain, ugly "Patty" as its protagonist...]]

* IdiotPlot: too many to count.

-->'''Paolo''': "C'mon, you look like Valeria during her period!"
-->'''Luca''': "''Hmpf''!"
-->'''Paolo''': "''Exactly'' the same!"

-->'''Luca''': "I WON. I FOUND SOMEBODY WHO'D GIVE ME A HICKEY WITH LOVE! YES, WITH LOVE! BECAUSE I'M GAY! I'M GAY, I LOVE PAOLO AND HE LOVES ME, RIGHT?!"
-->'''Paolo''': "Well-"
-->'''Luca''': *''kisses him''*
* JerkassWoobie: '''''Everyone'''''. There's not one single person in this show that is completely happy or innocent. The backstabbing, hypocritical, stingy Luca? He's completely alone and more than once he's been manipulated by Paolo into doing what he wants. Why he buys it? Because he's ''that'' scared of losing his only friend, that's why. The nice, naive, always bullied Patti? She's actually pretty selfish, can be really cruel and is always ready to criticize Silvano. The real life nightmare fuel that is Gheller? No one wants to celebrate his birthday because everyone thinks that it's a test. In short, everyone is both a Jerkass and a Woobie- they just tend to show more one of those sides in their normal life. The only two people who seem to remain completely innocent are Silvano and Anna- and the first has his moments.

* WhatAnIdiot: Silvano has his crowning moment of this when he turned down a very attractive girl who genuinely liked him ''and'' shared with him the same nerdy hobbies. Why? Because he wanted to be faithful to his pseudo-girlfriend Patti who is ugly, bossy and treats him like crap most of the time.

** Luca. He's completely alone, his wife dumped him, he has no family, no friend other than Paolo and he's unsuccesful with women. Also he was bullied during high school, so much so that he attempted suicide. He might be a short tempered, stingy, backstabbing bastard, but you can't watch "Il compagno di classe" and not feel utterly sorry for him. Ilaria is also a JerkassWoobie

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: "La Matrice", Italian for "The Matrix" and a parody of ''Film/TheMatrix'' (named this way because the Italian title for The Matrix was simply "Matrix"). It involves [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist Luca and Paolo]] tricking [[ButtMonkey Sil]][[TheChewToy vano]] into thinking he's Neo. All of this, with Luca ''quoting Trinity and Morpheus' lines, word for word''.
%%** Not to mention the "ultimate joke" (see above). EPIC.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: many. One example is "La Matrice", Italian for "The Matrix" and a parody of Film/TheMatrix (named this way because the Italian title for The Matrix was simply "Matrix"). It involves [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist Luca and Paolo]] tricking [[ButtMonkey Sil]][[TheChewToy vano]] into thinking he's Neo. All of this, with Luca ''quoting Trinity and Morpheus' lines, word for word''.
** Not to mention the "ultimate joke" (see above). EPIC.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: where to begin? I could simply call this a Crowning ''Series'' Of Funny and leave it at that. [[Funny/CameraCafe And now it has it's own page]].
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: courtesy of ''Luca'' of all people.
--> '''[[TheWoobie Anna:]]''' ''"Obviously, my babysitter got away after stealing the only valuable thing I had in my house."''
--> '''Luca:''' ''"And she didn't take your children away with her?"''

* CargoShip: Paolo and his Alfa. He said more than once that he cares more about his car than his own family. He celebrates her birthday (when he doesn't even remember ''his wife'''s birthday) and once he felt really guilty ''for cheating on his Alfa with another car''.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Anna, being also TheWoobie (not to mention, a gorgeous Woobie), she's generally well liked and many people complain about her not being part of the show anymore.

* EvilIsCool: Andrea all the way.

* ReplacementScrappy: Emma.

* TheWoobie: Anna, Anna, ''Anna''... To give just a small sample: her husband beats her up regularly, she's the only one in the family to have a job, ''her own son'' treats her almost as badly as her husband does, nobody in the office finds her sexy ([[InformedFlaw unexplicably]]) and... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

* BaseBreaker: Gloria and season 5 in general.

* DudeNotFunny: Anna being victim of DomesticAbuse is always PlayedForLaughs.
** There's also an episode that ends with [[JerkAss Luca and Paolo]] laughing in her face when she was ''crying'' because of this.
** Many jokes about Wanda's imminent death, often courtesy of Luca. See MoralEventHorizon.
