9
10	* AdamWesting: The show features a huge number of Hollywood celebrities either as main characters or guest stars, and they all play [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] versions of themselves.
11	* AllMenArePerverts: Kevin just captures this perfectly.
12	* AloneAmongTheCouples: An issue that constantly infuriates Kevin to no end.
13	* AmicableExes: Averted hilariously with Kevin and his ex-wife, Bridgette. Every time they are on screen together or talk about each other, it includes insults and yelling.
14	* TheCameo[=/=]SpecialGuest: The show is notable for having appearances from a large amount of black celebrities, including Creator/AnthonyAnderson, Music/BobbyBrown, Erykah Badu, Creator/RomanyMalco, Creator/CedricTheEntertainer, Creator/FaizonLove, Creator/WandaSykes, Creator/ChrisRock, Music/MariahCarey, and Creator/SamuelLJackson.
15	** Non-black celebs that show up include Creator/GeorgeTakei, Creator/LanceBass, and [[Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians Khloe Kardashian]].
16	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Kevin isn't well liked by any of his friends. {{Justified}} given how he can act obnoxious, rude, and constantly hit or make related comment about their wives.
17	* GratuitousGerman: Boris, who is German, speaks German when he's upset.
18	* HappilyMarried: Duane states "semi-happily married".
19	** J.B. is the only one of Kevin's married friends who has an ideal happy marriage.
20	* HenpeckedHusband: In Duane and Tisha's marriage, ''Tisha'' is the breadwinner. Hell, when they were about to do a TV series together, Duane wasn't making anyone laugh with his lines, but Tisha managed to get everyone laughing.
21	** It's implied in Nicole and Boris's marriage.
22	** Kevin implies this is the case for Nick, as his (not ex) wife Mariah is a much bigger star. Nick retorts by pointing out he has a successful career as a TV host, so he isn't relying on his wife for money.
23	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Tisha and Nicole have been friends for 16 years.
24	* HolierThanThou: Boris starts a church called B.U.T.I.F.U.L. (Bountiful Universal Truth Inspiring Faith Understanding and Love) and becomes this.
25	* HulkingOut: When Robin gets angry, he transforms into actor / professional ScaryBlackMan Terry Crews.
26	* {{Hunk}}[=/=]PrettyBoy: Boris is very attractive and knows it.
27	* PutOnABus: Music/RobinThicke left the cast after Season 1 in order to focus on his singing career. Creator/JBSmoove followed suit after Season 2 in order to join the cast of ''Series/TheMillers''. [[RealitySubtext Humorously, this was incorporated into the show itself]].
28	* RevolvingDoorCasting: As previously stated, both Robin Thicke and J.B. Smoove left the cast.
29	* SelfDeprecatingHumor: The actors frequently poke fun at themselves, [[OldShame usually over regrettable career choices]] they've made in the past. Various characters badmouthing Kevin's movie ''Soul Plane'' is something of a RunningGag.
30	** Creator/DavidFaustino made a cameo in one episode, with a talk show caption referring to him as "The only [[Series/MarriedWithChildren Bundy]] [[Series/SonsOfAnarchy not]] [[Series/ModernFamily working]]."
