History Radio / Loveline

* TooMuchInformation: Psycho Mike, a recovering drug addict, has a tendency to go seriously {{squick}} when taking about events in his life and his [[ADateWithRosiePalms personal habits]].

By far, the most popular and well-known co-host is Carolla. ''Loveline'' was also an Creator/{{MTV}} show from 1996 to 2000.

* BerserkButton: Dr. Drew, when callers with depraved impulses swear up and down that their childhood was "normal," only to reveal some horrific trauma happened later in the call.

* CrossOver: Carolla's later morning show often featured a ''Loveline''-esque segment in which callers would call in for relationship advice; Dr. Drew often was a guest on these segments.

* InsistentTerminology: It's ''junior'' college, not ''community'' college.

* MistakenForProfound: Adam Carolla's style of observational humor, which often involves gross, sweeping generalizations that sound plausible on the surface. Delivered with such ferocity and timing, they come across as "funny because it's true" until you're on the receiving end or you think about them for more than 60 seconds.
** This little comedy gem was so profound it ended up getting the show dropped from the Hawaiian affiliate.

* ActingForTwo: Psycho Mike's various celebrity voice impressions.

** There was also an episode of ''DawsonsCreek'' in which the characters attended a live ''Loveline'' broadcast.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The infamous "Holocaust Call". [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsnaNu7sJiQ Watch it on YouTube.]]
* ExecutiveMeddling: Frequently {{lampshaded}} by the hosts.
** Taken UpToEleven when the show was acquired by Courtside Entertainment Group. Changes include:
*** The addition of a second co-host, Simone Bienne and a new segment called the Open Forum
*** The banning of Stinky Pinky, Psycho Mike's voice impersonations, and Anderson talking or playing drops

* FridgeBrilliance: Combined with FridgeHorror: Why do callers tend to act surprised when the hosts ask about their childhoods, asking if there's any abuse or molestation? Because they've so ignored their past that they have to be ''directly asked'' about their lifestyles in order to even ''think'' about them.

* HoYay: Carolla and Dr. Drew often joked about being lovers. Continued with Psycho Mike to an even greater extent, as both of them are fitness enthusiasts who like to talk about diet and weight lifting (much to engineer Anderson Cowan's disgust). Mike has commented that new billboards for Loveline look like AIDS awareness posters targeted at gay men.

* AdamCarolla (1995-2005)

* Adam Carolla (1995-2005)

* SpiritualSuccessor: The Adam and Drew show on the AdamCarollaShow network is this for the Adam era. Although the calls often take a backseat to Adam and Drew discussing issues/complaining about things.

By far, the most popular and well-known co-host is Carolla, though YourMileageMayVary. ''Loveline'' was also an {{MTV}} show from 1996 to 2000.

** There was also an episode of ''[=~Dawson's Creek~=]'' in which the characters attended a live ''Loveline'' broadcast.

--->'''Adam:''' Yeah, [Hawaiians] handle big words, but it's got to be the name of a fat chick or some drink. They don't do science. Close your eyes and picture all the great Hawaiian scientists over the years. (Laughs) They're retarded people. They stay on the island. They're in-bred, obviously. They're the dumbest people we have.

** During the "Stinky Pinky" word game segments, Psycho Mike will get borderline homicidal if a caller gives an invalid word pair or clue, especially since he explains the childishly-simple rules immediately beforehand.

* BrilliantButLazy: Adam Carolla, by his own admission.

* JumpingTheShark: Much of the show's fan base left when Carolla did. Again, YourMileageMayVary.
