* LoveDodecahedron: Fred used to be married to Lilli and they still have feelings for each other, but she's now engaged to Harrison Howell who used to have a thing with Lois who is currently going out with Bill, but she's also involved to some degree with Fred ([[ReallyGetsAround as well as several others, apparently]]).
Added DiffLines:
* WorldOfSnark: Even though Lilli and Fred get the majority of snarkiness, the rest of the characters aren't exactly slouches in that department either. Really, the only character who doesn't join in at least once is Harrison Howell.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: "Wunderbar". Unusually for the trope, it's actually a character-developing moment as the ex-lovers reflect on the good times they used to have singing that song.
