Secret Girlfriend is an American television series, which premiered on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 on Comedy Central. It features the viewer as the "star" of a dating satire, with all the actors addressing the camera as if it were the lead. Think "The Family" from Fahrenheit451, but somehow more depressingly horrible.

This show uses the following tropes:

• Camera Abuse: Plenty of.
• Fanservice: Let's just say the tits/minutes ratio of the show is Off The Scale.
• Finagle's Law
• Handsome Lech: Phil
• Heroic Mime: "You" never talk on-screen
• Male Gaze: Taken to the logical extreme
• Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: Mandy
• The Missus and the Ex
• The Pornomancer: "You"
• Take a Third Option: Possibly the ending.
