* WidgetSeries: ''Series/{{W817}}'' itself is this, as it runs on quite a bit of absurdistic and surrealistic humor. It furthermore introduces a variety of fictional characters in the later seasons

Added DiffLines:

* GrowingTheBeard: It can be argued that the series only got to its proper form during the second season. The first season was somewhat more serious in tone, had longer episodes, and lacked much of the absurd humour that later would be typical for the show.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The show used quite a bit of profanity throughout it's first season, even though it was made for a children's network. Most of the profanity was removed or bowdlerized in the subsequent seasons.
* WhatAnIdiot: When Carlo is on the run from the police, he [=RSVPs=] for Tom's stag party and even asks for the place and time, right before stating that he has to hang up, because the line might be under a tap. He subsequently shows up at the stag party, despite the fact that the police would know where he was (if they tapped his phone).

** In universe, there was the series ''Zooloo'', which essentially seemed to be a live stream of a cow, without any commentary. Most of the gang loved the series and even cheered when the cow moo'ed.

Added DiffLines:

* FandomRivalry: The Star Wars versus Star Trek rivalry is discussed within the show, when Akke and Carlo are devising the programming commands for BORF. They eventually come to a consensus and decide to use ''Series/FCDeKampioenen'' references instead (before Birgit point out that simple commands such as "door open" and "lights off" would work better).

Removing badly-shoehorned Hindsight examples, the first is just an example of Really Gets Around while the second is a typical Book Dumb nerd. Also Expy is not YMMV


* {{Expy}}: As the show resembles ''Friends'', it doesn't come as a surprise that most characters resemble some of their ''Friends'' counterparts
** Birgit shows a strong resenblance to Rachel, as they're both fashionable and career-driven women, who have a romantic history with several of the main characters.
** Tom somewhat resembles Joey, as both of them are BookDumb artist-types, who spend a great deal of time at home watching [=TV=]. Tom, however, isn't as much of a womanizer as Joey.
