* FauxAffablyEvil: Mossi may seem like a fun, wisecracking crime boss, even mockingly asking his men if the “cops“ bought them a doughnut, but underneath his jovial attitude lies a vicious psychopath who boasts that "he" is the law in Los Angeles. Lampshaded by Seagers when he talks about him to Ryan.

Ryan O'Malley and Justin Miller aren't satisfied with their current situation. Justin is an ignored employee at a video game company, and Ryan is a jobless ex-football player with no real direction in life, mostly living off his royalties from being in an ad for herpes medication. The directionless feeling of their lives is only underscored when they attend their college reunion and mistake a masquerade ball for a costume party, showing up dressed as cops. On their way home, however, they discover that the costumes are real enough that they can fool basically anybody. Even ''actual cops.''
