History Series / YesDear

* MundaneMadeAwesome: With the help of Dominic, Jimmy discovers Greg is working at Chuck E Cheese rather than accepting a job offer from him. What should usually be a mundane drama moment on their "Who owes who." relationship, turns into a hilariously awesome search for Greg. This ends in a climactic chase between the two, the latter in a Chuck E Cheese costume while the {{Series/SWAT}} theme plays with Greg escaping on a skateboard and Jimmy crashing a scooter.

* {{Squick}}: In-Universe example. During the episode ''Speed Dating'', Billy asks Jimmy to go on speed dating with him for moral support, a proposition that Christine refuses to approve of -- that is, until Jimmy tells her that Billy spends many dateless nights fantasizing himself with Christine, a revelation that prompts Christine to tell Jimmy to go along with Billy at once, before hanging up and throwing down her phone in disgust.

''Yes, Dear'' is a sitcom set in LosAngeles that ran on Creator/{{CBS}} from 2000 to 2006.

* HereWeGoAgain: The ending of the final episode, "Should I Bring a Jacket".

* IAteWhat: In one episode, Jimmy starts eating a bite of homemade play-dough. After finding out what it is, he asks if it could hurt him, and when told it couldn't, continues eating. Another time he tastes 'yogurt' that is actually Apricot Face Scrub. This time, he doesn't bother to ask if it's safe before he continues eating.

* KarmaHoudini: Greg spends the majority of an episode trying to prove that one of Jimmy's kids broke their toilet. He furiously and paranoically ponders ways to punish them for what they did. When it's revealed that Sammy was actually the culprit, everything was immediately forgiven, the family had a nice [[FullHouseMusic Full House]] moment, and they all went to the movies.

* ManipulativeBastard: Greg's dad. BumblingDad aside, he successfully manipulated Greg and Kim into naming their newborn daughter Emily. They were being filmed for an episode of ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Baby_Story A Baby Story]]'', and at one point, Tom gets the ConfessionCam to himself and tells a sob story about his beloved aunt and how he always wanted to have a daughter to name after her but only had Greg. Conveniently, Greg and Kim are behind a wall eavesdropping on him. When the TV show sends them all of the footage that was cut from the episode, they find out he knew they were listening and in fact planned it that way all along. It's entirely possible that the story he told wasn't even true.

* NiceHat: Jimmy is rarely ever seen without some kind of cap on his head.

* PrimalFear: Logan's afraid of the dark, to the point that he would scream if the room he sleeps in is pitch-black, even with his eyes shut.

--> '''Jimmy''': Oh great. Now I'm gonna have [Greg] here all weekend mooching off me. Sitting on my couch, eating all my food.

--> '''Christine''': Jimmy, you're gonna see [Greg] once in a while at holidays, alright? I mean, its not like we're all gonna move in together.


--> '''Kim''': (after Jimmy convinces her to keep dating Greg) Thanks, Jimmy. I'll think about it. Hey and thanks for letting us crash here this weekend. If I ever have my own house and you need a place to stay for the night, you are always welcome.
--> '''Jimmy''': Thanks for saying that, but I don't really like staying in other people's houses, you know. I just, uh, I just don't feel comfortable.

* TranquilFury: After weeks of trying to get a contractor to fix a fireplace in "Gordon and Kim", Kim sees the contractor's car in the driveway and vandalizes it with a bat while calmly whistling to herself.

* WimpFight: Greg and a male recurring minor character fight this way.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In one episode, Christine chews a large gob of gum to relieve stress. Kim comments on it, to which Christine responds in a muffled voice while giving Kim a furious look. When Kim asks Jimmy, who is also present, what Christine says, he replies: "She's telling you to ''love'' yourself."

* MakingUseOfTheTwin: Both the twin actors for Sammy are shown toward the end of the episode "Headshot".

* InsaneTrollLogic: Kim was under the impression that Greg's work assistants were also for her personal use, and drove every one of them to quit because she was ''far'' more demanding than the person they were actually hired to work for. She saw absolutely no difference between her husband's work secretary and her personal errand boy/girl, and even thought she had the authority to ''fire'' them if they ever disobeyed her orders. Greg had no idea this was even going on until he hired Christine. As a family member, she was the only secretary willing to speak up about this, the rest were understandably too scared to ''[[TooDumbToLive tell their boss that is wife is a horrible tyrant]]''.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Kim seemed to think that Greg's work assistants were also for her personal use. She caused every one of them to quit because she was FAR more demanding than the person they were actually hired to work for. She saw absolutely no difference between her husband's work secretary and her personal errand boy/girl. Greg had no idea this was even going on until he hired Christine as his secretary.

* BadBoss: Greg had a reputation as this, as all of his secretaries ended up quitting due to a massive workload. It turns out that the massive workload came from Kim, who had been using Greg's secretaries to constantly run errands for her. Greg had no idea this was happening since none of the secretaries had the courage to complain about their boss's wife to his face. That is, until he hired Christine.

* BreastAttack: Kim accidentally did this to Mr. Savitsky's then-wife in the episode "Savitsky's Tennis Club" while playing tennis.

* ManipulativeBastard: Greg's dad. BumblingDad aside, he successfully manipulated them into naming their newborn daughter Emily. He did this by saying a sob story about it on "Baby Story", while Greg and Kim conveniently pass by. [[spoiler: They later find out about it when watching the uncut version, but they keep the name regardless.]]

* ScrabbleBabble: Jimmy and Kim play Scrabble. Jim tries to put an O at the end of Kim's "Cheat" to make "Cheato", only to be told by Kim that it's spelled "Cheeto", and that it can't be played anyway because it's the brand name of a snack food. Jimmy then challenges her earlier play of "Ritzy".
-->'''Kim:''' Ritzy is a word.\\
'''Jimmy:''' Yeah, but it's a word about a ''cracker.''

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: In "Guarding Greg", the security guards are this to Greg, eating lunch and watching TV in his office.
** Also, this is basically the entire premise of the show.

'''''Yes, Dear''''' is a sitcom set in L.A. that ran from 2000 to 2006. Greg and Kim Warner, together with their offspring (Sammy; their daughter, Emily, joins the cast mid-series) led a well-to-do, if uptight and isolated, life, the latter of which started to change when Kim's sister and her husband, Christine and Jimmy Hughes, came knocking on the Warners' house door (with their own children, Dominic and Logan, in tow) asking for shelter. In stark contrast to the lifestyle of the Warners, the Hughes' attitude is far more outgoing and laid-back. Much of the show deals with issues relating to marriage, family, work and/or sex.

* ItWillNeverCatchOn: A number of critics predicted the series would be the first of the Fall 2000 batch to be cancelled. Oh, it did end - after six seasons[[note]]the show was even uncancelled once[[/note]].
** An in-universe one in "When Jimmy Met Greggie" which takes place before the Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust was created. Jimmy was pondering to his friends, on how there should be a way to put cheese inside Pizza crust. His friends look at him like he's some kind of MadScientist.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: Greg after much reluctance goes to see a psychologist along with the rest of the family. He laments a story over two bullies ruining his MayDecemberRomance and stealing his cupcakes. The shrink deduces that Greg sees Jimmy and Christine's antics as said bullies winning over and over. He lets Greg leave so he could get some fresh air. As soon as the family leaves, his wife calls him. However, during their conversation, he realizes much to his surprise that Greg fooled him using items in his own office including the hostess cupcake he was eating. They even make fun of the limp-turned-walking part of it. (Greg's foot fell asleep when he "Lamented".)
