!This series contains examples of:

* BetaCouple: David and Amy Cooper. David is Peter's brother, and Amy is Dana's former sorority sister (and roommate).
* TheGimmick: The series tries to set itself apart from the pack by having voiceovers read the main characters' minds.
* InsistentTerminology: Peter doesn't read comic books, but graphic novels. Interestingly, he's shown reading comic books rather than trade paperbacks, making his argument fairly weak.
* PacManFever: One episode has Peter playing ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' on the Xbox 360. Good enough... until he reveals he was talking to another player on the headset and refers to him as "Blue Team Leader," something a one-on-one fighting game absolutely wouldn't have.
* TheirFirstTime: The couple laments how something always comes up and interrupts them or ruins their night before they actually do the act.
