!!This series provides examples of:

* AscendedFanboy: Gibbs meeting and working for his hero during a photoshoot. It made Gibbs a KnowNothingKnowItAll InsufferableGenius.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite everyone else in the world thinking she's too good for him, Amy is genuinely in love with Neal, and despite some of his moaning, Neal once turned down an offer from a woman all the other guys wanted to be with her.
* BiTheWay: Milo and Gibbs, though they avoid each other purposely, have this with a girl.
* BadassBaritone: Gibbs
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Neal is actually more skilled than the others give him credit for. He actually could've trounced them at Coaster Frisbee, but he let Milo win to give him the inner-strength needed to turn down his ex.
* FiveManBand
** TheHero: Milo
** TheLancer: Tyler
** TheBigGuy: Gibbs
** TheSmartGuy: Neal
** TheChick: Amy
* DeadpanSnarker: All four of them, really.
* FreudianTrio: More like a quartet, but it still works: Gibbs and Tyler are the Ids, Milo is the Ego, and Neal is the Superego.
* ItsLikeIAlwaysSay: Gibbs, lampshaded, as he's never said any of the things he's claimed that he's said. Tyler points this out.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Milo and Neal, mostly. Gibbs and Tyler are too, but you really have to dig for it.
* OneOfTheBoys: Neal's girlfriend, Amy, sometimes hangs out with the main group. They all seem to enjoy something of a rapport with her, and she seems very familiar with their various quirks.
* OnlySaneMan: Milo and Neal seem to take turns with this at times.
* LaughTrack
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Yogurt feels like this for the guys when they are bored at work or stuck in a rut.
* ReallyGetsAround: The main cast, particularly Gibbs, who is is implied had sex with a horse once.
* StylisticSuck: Milo's inventions in one episode
* ShoutOut: The show features several to ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', such as The Devil's Threesome.
* TrueCompanions: The guys typically watch out for each other when they need backing up.
* TokenBlack: Gibbs
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Mostly Gibbs and Tyler, although they do have redeemable qualities.
