* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** An early episode has Dr Rudi advising men on how to make, ahem, "clearing the backlog" more interesting. As Penne pointed out to a disapproving Sigourney, "there's nothing like the satisfaction that comes from finishing a [[DoubleEntendre good do-it-yourself job]]".
** Later in the series he advocates public masturbation as a way to combat amateur musicians, amateur art critics and other... well... "wankers".

* TheOtherDarrin: Played straight and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]. Penne's actress, Abbie Cornish, left the show after the first season to pursue a film career, and was replaced with Alison Barnes. When Todd commented on Penne's different appearance, she reacted by showing some clips of scenes from Season 1 that had featured Abbie Cornish... [[FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin re-shot to include Alison Barnes instead.]] On the other hand, absolutely nothing was said about the replacement of Brendan Cowell with Duncan Fellows as Todd in Season 3.

Your Cheating Heart is an index, not a trope.


* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The very last episode ends on a cliffhanger [[spoiler: as the real Dr Rudi reveals his replacement was an impostor right before the credits roll.]]
* YourCheatingHeart: According to Dr Rudi, this combined with InterruptedIntimacy is the best way to end a relationship and make sure the woman in question doesn't try to win you back... just make sure you get all your stuff out of her house first and do the actual breakup at her place, [[DefenestrateAndBerate to avoid having any of your property damaged.]]
