Drew is the perpetual [[TheEveryman everyman]] who can never seem to get [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption ahead in life,]] bad things never stop happening to him. He still hangs out with his friends from high school, Lewis (Creator/RyanStiles), Oswald (Creator/DiedrichBader) and Kate (Creator/ChristaMiller). Also, his dog is crippled. He makes things work appreciating what he has and living an honest life, even starting a micro-brewery with his friends with the coffee flavored Buzz Beer. The last season saw another childhood friend Kelly (Creator/CynthiaWatros) join the group in place of Kate.

A ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}''-esque look at office life created by and starring Creator/DrewCarey, about a guy named [[TheDanza Drew Carey]] living in Cleveland, Ohio working middle management of the Winfred Louder department store as the Assistant Director of Personnel. There is no Director of Personnel, [[TheChewToy he has all the responsibility but none of the pay]]. As part of his job Drew has to deal with his MeanBoss Mr. Wick (Creator/CraigFerguson) with a perpetually conniving secretary, Mimi (Creator/KathyKinney), both of whom [[SitcomArchnNemesis hate Drew's guts just because he's there]]. And that is all on top of general [[IncompetenceInc office bureaucracy]].

* StealingTheCredit: * The b-plot of "Drew Learns Hot Salsa" has Scott and Evan hiring Mimi to find out [[TheMole which of their employees]] leaked their latest ordering software to one of their competitors. In a surprise twist, it turns out that Evan is the one guilty of stealing credit, albeit unintentionally. The software he came up with was actually invented three years prior by a Malaysian kid from Milwaukee who debuted it at a computer fair Evan judged. Evan had subconsciously recalled the software but not who invented it, thus making himself believe he was the original creator.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Oswald's lost son turned up in an episode. After that, he was never seen again, nor mentioned.

* IAteWhat: The b-plot of "Daddy Dearest" involves Oswald being given a human liver to take care of as part of his new job as a nurse. He keeps it in his and Lewis's fridge where Lewis finds it and eats it, not knowing what kind of liver it is.

* AmusingInjuries: In the first "What's Wrong With This Episode?", Mr. Wick gets shot in the groin by a crossbow. In the season four finale, he accidentally blows off his little toe with a gun during a hunt and gets his nipple bitten off by the fox he was hunting. Both incidents are played for laughs.

* AgeInappropriateDress: A problematic customer that Mimi has to deal with is an elderly woman who still dresses like a teenager. Her justification is that the teen department is the only place where the clothes fit her.
