History Characters / HappyEndings

->'''Played By:''' Eliza Coupe

* TheBeard: Acted as one with Max to fool his parents into thinking he was gay. Something she wasn't particularly fond of.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Felt incredibly guilty about leaving Dave at the altar. Recurs throughout Season 1, whenever she's reminded of the pain she's caused him. They both manage to get past it though.

* [[WeWantOurJerkBack We Want Our Ditz Back]]: In one episode, she becomes fairly smart which makes Dave and Jane feel threatened. They even try to coax her back to her old ways.
* [[ManChild Woman Child]]: She was the flower girl at her sister's wedding, a role usually reserved for five-year olds.

Brad and Dave's friend since college: lazy, sarcastic, gay and perpetually unemployed.

Jane's easygoing (and somewhat effeminate) husband who has a ThoseTwoGuys vibe with Max.

* TheChick / TheHeart: Has twice led charges for the group 'For Love!'

* MrFanservice: Of the men, he had the most amount of fanservicy moments. Given he was an attractive, nicely shaped gentlemen, it wasn't hard to see why.

* WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant: although he's apparently 1/16 Navajo.

* HappilyMarried: To Jane.

* BuxomBeautyStandard: Her large busted is often noted by other characters InUniverse, such as Max and the Car Czar referring to her as 'Countess von Boobs' and 'Honey boobs-boobs'.

* StatuesqueStunner: may be considered this at 5'8''.

* CatchPhrase: ''(sung)'' Draaaa-maaaa!

* StraightGay: Like Max he has no stereotypical traits, only downplayed in comparison to Max ironically as he also doesn't have Max's uber masculine "frat boy" traits either.

* AbandonedCatchphrase: Penny's catch phrase in the first season was "Ah-mazing!" She quietly dropped it on the second season, acknowledging that it was SoLastSeason... [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall It's really more of a summer expression.]]

* BuxomIsBetter: often noted in-universe.

* [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Mother, Like Daughter]]

* LookingForLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces

* [[MistakenForRacist Mistaken For A Nazi]]: In the episode that she dated Hitler. ItMakesSenseInContext.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Often the victim of this.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Max.

* ShesGotLegs: Lamphshaded, both Max and Alex (when she's carrying the SmartBall for an episode) note that Jane almost never wears long pants so she can invoke this trope and get outside validation, which she says she needs a lot of.

* Pint-SizedPowerhouse: Alex’s tiny size is often a source of humor, but she’s also shown to have near superhuman strength on rare occasion.

* BrilliantButLazy: Literally. When she actively applied herself she showed herself to be so alarmingly intelligent her friends couldn’t take it. Then she made one tiny error in front of some judgmental nerds, and that was enough for her to give up and go back to being willfully dumb, deciding that being smart wasn’t worth the effort.
