Bastard Boyfriend has been rehauled into Fetishized Abuser (for then the narrative portrays an abuser as sexually desirable). Otherwise, it's an example of Domestic Abuser. If both people display toxic behaviors, it's Romanticized Abuse. If the romantic partner is an unpleasant person but not outright abusive, then they are just a Jerk Ass.

The twenty-something main protagonist. Tim is an unassuming white collar worker for "Omnicorp", a fictional corporation in New York City. Although well-meaning, he almost always finds himself in greatly embarrassing scenarios, often as a consequence of bad judgment or lying.
* AntiHero: Generally a type I, though at his worst he can be a type V.
** ClassicalAntiHero
* AudienceSurrogate Tim tends to say what the audience is thinking.
* BadLiar: Notoriously terrible at lying and yet always resorts to it when in a jam.

* ButtMonkey: Everyone in Tim's world seems to actively try to take advantage of and/or humiliate him.
* CharacterDevelopment: While he remains relatively mild-mannered and spineless, Tim becomes slightly more assertive each season, making him more of a Jerkass Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist in the process. Doubles as Flanderization.
* TheChewToy: Something bad is guaranteed to happen to him in every single episode.
* TheComicallySerious: A large part of the humor comes from how straight-laced Tim remains as the world unravels around him.
* ComicTrio: With Stu and Rodney, where he of course plays the straight man.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tim deals with most of his problems through extremely deadpan sarcasm as opposed to actively trying to resolve them.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Whenever Tim isn't the direct cause of his problem, he'll make it worse in an attempt to get out of it.
