History YMMV / ManToManWithDeanLearner

* ActingForTwo: All of the show's guests are played by Matthew Holness.
* KarmaHoudini: Many of the guests are horrible people, but [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Dean]] in particular. A consistent source of laughs is Dean's utter sociopathy. He's clearly mistreated and abused almost everyone he's worked with; it's implied he's even had people murdered. And yet he has a cushy life and seems fairly wealthy.
** Garth wrote the politically incorrect, violent trash novel behind the movie "Bitch Killer" - yet seemingly escaped any public backlash at all. By contrast Randolph got villified for merely acting in the movie and it ruined his life.
* TheDanza: Satu Suominen.
* TheWoobie: Randolph Caer is a little [[InformedAttribute strange looking]]. This leads to his being typecast from the very beginning of [[ButtMonkey his career]] and he's [[TypeCasting constantly used for repulsive roles in terrible movies]]. [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Learner]] and the others paying tribute to him on the show ruthlessly exploited him over the years and subjected him to a [[TraumaCongaLine trauma conga line]] that is heavily implied to have caused his suicide or [[DeathByDespair death from stress]]. In interviews he comes across as a much nicer and more normal guy than anyone else, and yet he is universally hated and reviled.
