Bradley and Gary contains examples of the following tropes:
- Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: This exchange
Bradley: Hey, didn't we see that one Gary?
- Berserk Button: Gary does not like being made to skip work to go on "wacky" adventures.
- Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: The primary source of humor. One example:
Bradley: I followed the moss on the rocks.
Gary: What rocks?
Bradley: The ones that look like that.
Gary: Those are beetles.
Bradley: Then why are they covered in moss?
Gary: They're not. They're just green.
- Clip Art Animation: Although using actual photographs of the actors, who do not always match up with the voices they do.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Bradley
- Comically Missing the Point: This exchange
Bradley: I don't like the looks of this thing.
Gary: Why? Too "shpooky"?
Bradley: No, it's just that gray's not really a flattering color for rotting wood.
Gary: What is a flattering color for rotting wood?
Bradley: I don't know, mauve?
- Deadpan Snarker: Gary, except for when his Berserk Button is pressed.
- Everybody Laughs Ending: Parodied in the pilot; according to Word Of God the unrealistic, forced laughter just made it better.
- My Name Is Not Durwood: Especially problematic with Gertrude.
- Odd Couple
- Sarcasm-Blind: Usually played straight with Bradley, but there are some exceptions, such as this line which plays with it:
Bradley: Yes, Gary, I definitely understand sarcasm.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: To a degree.
