Line 24:
The show has received much critical acclaim and a large regular audience, with a boatload of Emmy and Golden Globe nominations since it began in 2004. So far, the biggest winner has been Jeremy Piven, for his role as Ari, with 3 Emmys and 1 Golden Globe.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Eric hates ''[[Rocky V]]'', which Kevin Connolly appeared in as one of the kids who bullied Rocky's son.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
** It could even be argued that Vince is an Expy of Mark Wahlberg, since the series premise is loosely based on Wahlberg's experiences as an up-and-coming movie star.
* [[Flamboyant Gay]]: Lloyd. Contrasted by his [[Straight Gay]] partner Tom.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Vince
** [[The Lancer]]/[[The Smart Guy]]: Ari & E both qualify as both of these.
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
** [[Eleventh Hour Ranger]]: Scott
* [[Grand Finale]]: Averted by the series finale proper (see [[No Ending]]) for the most part. Vince {{spoiler|is getting married}} but we don't see it and not much changes or is resolved for the gang. Ari gets an ending of sorts {{spoiler|[[The Stinger|until he gets offered a job as CEO of a studio]] and we're [[Left Hanging]] as to whether or not he accepts}}.
* [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery]]: In this case, bad. Lloyd has an emotional breakdown when his boyfriend leaves him, causing Ari's entire office to fly into a nightmare because of the horrible timing. Ari's desperate enough to search out Lloyd's boyfriend, who works at a ''shoe store'', to find out what happened. {{spoiler|It turns out that Lloyd was cheating on him. Ari hastily bullshits an alibi together for Lloyd (complete with non-existent "proof" on his cell phone that the boyfriend never asks to see) causing the boyfriend to go [[My God, What Have I Done?]] and patch it up with Lloyd. Ari, for his part, now has ''excellent'' blackmail if Lloyd ever has another pity party}}.
* [[Hollywood California]]: Played pretty straight, as we mostly see only the glamorous side of Hollywood.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Vince and E.
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
* [[Male Gaze]]: Any scene that takes place at a swimming pool, beach, or strip club will feature lots of gorgeous women and camera angles that focus on their "assets."
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Drama, by his (male) massage therapist-- though given the amount of praise he was heaping on the guy, it wasn't hard to see ''why''.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Warners studio head Alan Dale seems to feel this way towards Vince, after he refused to fulfill his contract and make ''Aquaman 2''. However, the only indication we have of the success (or rather, lack of success) of the film is Ari's remark of "It didn't do ''that'' bad!"
** Even though Michael Bay was already replacing James Cameron as director before Vince backed out, and the reason Vince backed out is that he was told they could delay shooting the sequel by six months so he could start shooting his passion project ''Medellin''. However, after Vince and the director come up with a work around, the studio head tells Vince they were never going to delay shooting and that Vince was never meant to come up with a way to do ''Medellin'', Vince refuses to meet with him to discuss the ''Aquaman'' sequel.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: [[Straw Man Has a Point|Whilst he did make some legitimate points about Vince's acting]], Verner Vollstedt's treatment of Vince during the filming of ''Smokejumpers'' (Giving all of his lines to Jason Patric & forcing Vince to constantly reshoot scenes to the point where Vince had done '''everything''' that had been asked of him) lead to Vince going over his head to Dana Gordon who ordered him to film the movie as scripted. Vollstedt then tried going over Dana's head & barged into a board meeting which ''completely'' backfired on him as the studio cancelled the movie. However, the footage of Vince filmed for ''Smokejumpers'' wound up winning him a role in [[Martin Scorsese]]'s ''[[The Great Gatsby|Gatsby]]'' & lead to Vince's career revival.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Averted because most celebrities are playing themselves. Played straight and then subverted with Ari Gold, who is based on [[Real Life]] agent Ari Emmanuel - Emmanuel purportedly loves Piven's portrayal and has commented that it's not ''nearly'' over-the-top enough. Other Expies for famous types include Harvey Weinstein, caricatured as "Harvey Weingard", played by Maury Chaykin, and Werner Herzog, caricatured as "Verner Vollstedt" played by Stellan Skarsgard.
* [[No Ending]]: For now (depending on whether or not [[The Film of the Series]] actually gets made). The series finale ends with quite a bit up in the air: Vince is getting on a plane to get married to a girl that he just met, E may or may not be quitting and it's unknown how Drama's movie will turn out. At least Ari and Mrs. Ari seem to get a happy ending with them getting back together {{spoiler|after he quits his job}} and taking a trip to Florence...{{spoiler|until John Ellis gives Ari a call telling him he wants him to take over as CEO of his studio}}.
