Meanwhile, two friends of Roberta, Cheeto and Flyby (sometimes known as Rida), are desperate to tell one another that they love each other: in actual fact, they have both told each other several times, but they always forget due to “intoxication”. Rob and Roberta is kind of like a Woody Allen script crossed with an episode of House, M.D.; a lot of snarking, some romantic hijinks and one incredibly sour man who just needs a hug (or industrial grade therapy).

* ComedicSociopathy: Nearly all of Rob's line are putting down another character or just generally ignoring social rules. [[spoiler: it's later revealed it's actually comedic psychopathy, but close enough.]]
* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler: We see Cheeto and Flyby just after they get married before we actually see them properly get together.]]
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]; Rachel obviously likes to think of herself as this, and sets out to 'fix' Rob. At any cost.

* UnreliableNarrator: Rob [[spoiler: tells a horrifying and entirely untrue monologue about how his grandfather died.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Cheeto has some serious issues; one of the ways this manifests is a rejection of traditional clothing standards.

Rob and Roberta are housemates and best friends, though everyone admits that the friendship is slightly… uneven. Rob is [[JerkAss sardonic, mean and callous]], while Roberta remains [[TeamMom patient, kind and overly eager to please just about everyone]]; Rob has recently been through a bad break-up with a ‘perfect’ woman named Rachel – but what exactly drove them apart? Plain old romantic differences, or something much, much darker?
