{{tropelist}}
* [[Adult Child]]: Silvano, mostly due to the relationship with his mother.
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: Paolo often calls his friend Luca "Bubino" (as much as Luca hates this nickname).
Line 37:
* [[Badass]]: Andrea, full stop.
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Andrea, as seen above, overlapping with [[Bald of Awesome]], with [[Beard of Evil]] thrown in the mix.
* [[Basement Dweller]]: Silvano's relationship with his mom reminds us of [[The Simpsons (animation)|Seymour and Agnes Skinner]].
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Chiara, daughter of the [[Magnificent Bastard]] director De Marinis, once pulled a Gambit ''on her own father''.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Andrea has ''a whole [[Incredibly Lame Pun|keyboard]]'' made of these.
Line 100:
{{quote|''(Luca notices one of the small, round, silver-colored tables stuck to the ceiling)''
'''Luca:''' ''"Why is one of the tables stuck to the ceiling?"''
'''Paolo:''' ''[[It Runs on Nonsensoleum|"There was a fly on the ceiling!"]]''
'''Luca:''' ''[[Sarcasm Mode|"Well, that explains everything."]]'' }}
** Many [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|pre-ass kicking one-liners]] provided by Andrea may count.
** And then there's Geller...
{{quote|'''Paolo (to Luca):''' ''"I chose to take a vacation in order to not see that bastard that is Mr. Geller for a while."''
''[[Right Behind Me|(cue Geller coming out of the kitchen)]]''
'''Geller:''' ''"Next time you'd better be more careful about when taking a vacation then; turned out we'll both be away from work within the same time range, instead of you coming back to work when I'm on holiday."''
'''Paolo:''' ''"Oh. How long have you been eavesdropping?"''
'''Geller:''' ''[[Sarcasm Mode|"Not long enough to hear you calling me a bastard, I'm afraid."]]''
'''Paolo:''' ''[[Does Not Understand Sarcasm|"Whew, that's fine then."]]'' }}
* [[The Ditz]]: Anna, definitely. Patti is this at times with some [[Cloudcuckoolander]] tendencies as well.
Line 118:
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Arch enemies Ilaria and Gaia on a few occasions teamed up against Luca and Paolo.
** This is the point of the whole relationship between Luca and De Marinis. They are openly hostile to each other, the former being a "Communist" who claims the director his natural enemy [[Blatant Lies|because of their opposite political leanings]], but actually they are always making secret agreements and plotting together against the other workers for their own personal profit.
* [[Epic Fail]]: most characters are prone to this. Mostly noticeable in a sketch beginning with Luca screws up and gets tea instead of coffee; instead of simply throwing it away, he tries to give it to someone else.<ref>(the former would be a solution, but [[Serious Business|his strong Communist beliefs keep him from "wasting" tea, as it would be "an instance of Capitalism"]])</ref>
* [[Exact Words]]: in one episode, [[Jerkass]] director De Marinis is about to install an answering machine as a replacement to textbook [[Sexy Secretary]] and resident [[Ms. Fanservice]] Giovanna, prompting [[Gonk]], [[Butt Monkey]] and [[Dirty Old Woman]] Wanda to comfort her by saying "you're young and pretty, you won't have any problems trying to find another job"; De Marinis replies that "this is why her new job will be yours, Wanda. We need an intern". Giovanna's solution is asking resident [[Nerd]] and [[Playful Hacker]] Olmo's help in order to mess around with the answering machine, only for [[Casanova Wannabe]] Paolo finding out about it instead. Giovanna then points out she'll need the help of them both, as her "reward" can be shared. Given that [[A Threesome Is Hot]], Olmo and Paolo eagerly team up and accept, and at the end of the episode, nobody gets fired. Cue the usage of [[Exact Words]]: Giovanna points out the two guys will get rewarded by the one who ''actually'' risked to lose her job: in other words... [[Brain Bleach|Wanda.]]
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: Pretty much every [[Butt Monkey]], especially Silvano.
Line 175:
* [[Neat Freak]]: Silvano and Maria Eleonora.
* [[Nerd]]: Silvano is a textbook example, while Olmo tends on the [[Otaku]] variant.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Michele Carminati, Paolo's nemesis, is usually a friendly and good-natured person. Also Silvano of course, although his kindness is mostly due to his shy and naive nature. And when he [[Berserk Button|really gets mad
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Andrea, Vittorio and Guido Geller are this in-universe. Also, Silvano: while usually cheerful and naive, when he talks about his mother it can border on disturbing.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Andrea is the all-time master of this, really. You name it - any episode featuring him is bound to end like this, whether you get to see it happening [[Bolivian Army Ending|or not.]]
