YMMV / Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23

• Fridge Brilliance: It seems impossible that sweet, naïve June can outmaneuver master manipulator Chloe, particularly in the pilot, where June doesn't hesitate to sell all Chloe's personal belongings behind her back...but lest we forget, June came to New York to work on Wall Street, a career that requires a good amount of cunning and ruthlessness. She just needed the motivation to put those skills to practical application.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Chloe's desire to be a comic book character, given that Ritter went up to be exactly that.
  • The plotline of James on Dancing with the Stars became this in 2019, when he was actually cast on DWTS
• Les Yay:
  • Chloe pretends June is her lesbian lover so she can gain custody of a foster child.
  • Chloe invokes this trope to get money by putting her and June playfully making jam onto a fetish site.
  • In "Mean Girls..." June plans a dinner with Chloe that has the trappings of a romance movie cliché. She wears a dress and lights candles while "Stay" by Lisa Loeb plays on the soundtrack.
  • This exchange probably sounds a lot more flirtatious than it was intended:
  June: You had sex in my bedroom?!
  Chloe: (sweetly) Yes, June, and you can too. I'll teach you.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Chloe dramatically rolling her eyes in boredom is now a popular reaction gif even among people who never saw the show (made twice as hilarious due to being mistaken for an outtake or obscure moment from Ritter's better-known and more dramatic turns in Breaking Bad and Jessica Jones).
  • As is the "SMACKWICH!" from "Sexy People..."
  • The back-and-forth shots when Chloe catches June masturbating in the tub, with June looking horrified and ashamed and Chloe looking thrilled and proud.
