* LoveTriangle: They seem to be setting one up between Ben, Riley, and Danny. Something of a played with version since it's ''not'' the tall athletic successful guy (Danny, pro hockey player) that's the main love rival. Instead Danny is the soft spoken GentleGiant unable to reveal his feelings while it's his less successful quirky brother that the female lead is interested in.

* FriendsRentControl: Zig-zagged. The apartment is pretty decently-sized by New York standards and has three bedrooms, but looks a little shabby in that "converted factory or warehouse" style. As far as paying the rent, Ben is only a bartender, Danny is probably well-payed as a pro-hockey player, and we don't really know what Tucker does.

Added DiffLines:

* OneHeadTaller: A non-romantic example. Many jokes are made about the fact that Derek Theler (Danny) is [[http://cdn02.cdn.justjaredjr.com/wp-content/uploads/pictures/2012/06/bd-told/baby-daddy-told-you-so-01.jpg comically taller than the rest of the cast.]] The jokes are usually made against Tucker (Tahj Mowry) since he's the shortest, and since Tucker and Danny are sliding into a little bit of a ThoseTwoGuys dynamic.

* MyBelovedSmother: "Mom has this thing about boundaries... she has none." Said by Ben after Danny revealed that she organized his "love drawer" when she came over. One episode dealt with Ben confronting Bonnie as she slowly takes over caring for Emma.


Added DiffLines:

** The show tries to handwave it a little with two things: 1. Riley finding out about Bonnie's first wedding in Vegas when she was 18 shows that Bonnie was something of a wild child and 2. It's possible that Bonnie is a few years older than Peterman, and lying about her age.
