Line 11:
* [[Mary Sue]]: Sam's brother Derek, a successful (and supposedly handsome) lawyer, who stops by the bar at the end of the first season spends the entire episode offscreen in the backroom wowing the regulars with his singing, piano playing, tap dancing and pool tricks. Over the course of the night he gets the unemployed Norm a job at a high end accounting firm, teach Coach fluent Spanish, seduce Diane into going away with him on his private jet and have all the customers fight over who should get the pleasure of buying him a beer. All while Sam stands alone at the counter in the front room having to hear from anybody who steps in how terrific his brother is. Sheesh, no wonder he has an inferiority complex.
** On the other hand, no one benefited from Derek, like Norm, in the end. When Derek leaves, the bar expresses disappointment. Derek may have talents, but Sam has friends.
* [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]: Rebecca, once she switched from Diane II to the neurotic mess she was for the rest of the run.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Diane. Oh god, Diane...
** Probably not an actual example of the trope, since you're ''supposed'' to find Diane annoying.
