* ValuesDissonance:
** Much of the show's humor consists of how casually the protagonists use pot despite being successful urban professionals as well as the fact it's illegal. In TheNewTens, pot use is so ubiquitous to the point no one would find it the least bit strange for a writer or editor to use it as a relaxation tool.
** Suzanne breaks up with Jonathan over the fact he drinks wine and smokes pot. In the early 2000s, this would be considered reasonable given pot was still an illegal drug. Many individuals would find this an utterly ridiculous reason to end a relationship over in TheNewTens.
* ValuesResonance: Pot use is shown to be utterly harmless and the individuals using it to be perfectly nice (if a bit obnoxious) people.

Designated Protagonist Syndrome has been renamed. Bad examples are being removed


* DesignatedProtagonistSyndrome: For some, especially during the first season. Several critics' reviews of Schwartzman's performance were mixed while praising the work of Zach Galifianakis and Ted Danson. One critic even went so far as to say they wish the show revolved around Danson's character George instead. [[GrowingTheBeard Luckily reviews of the second season have been more receptive of Jason Schwartzman as a lead and the show as a whole.]]
