Line 31:
** In the episode ''My Hero'' a [[Captain Ersatz]] of ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]'' Vicki appeared, as a [[Funny Background Event|background character.]]
** [[Wild Mass Guessing|Speculation]] reigns as to whether Joanne Kelly's supposed appearance in it will mean her being [[Typecasting|a police officer/agent character again]], a la ''[[Warehouse 13]]''. Doesn't help [[New Media Are Evil|that "showbiz gossip" sites perpetrate this]]...
** Possibly, this also encouraged ''[[Scrubs]]'' to ''create'' an expy of Nikki, albeit non-speaking.
* [[Fan Service]]: Two extras: one tan-skinned and the actress playing her is currently unknown, and a blonde extra whose actress is currently unknown, but she gets referred to as "Nikki" on-screen a few times. Another one, called Kate, also as well, is considered [[Fan Service]]. The [[Fandom]] for them, is well, huge... making them into an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]].
** However, they are ''not'' there for that purpose, but as functional ( if [[The Voiceless|non]]-speaking or [[Suddenly Voiced|rarely speaking]]) characters. [[Word of God]] on this has yet to happen.
Line 50:
** Well, ''some'' characters dress ordinarily and without much makeup. Then there's [[Goth|Frieda]].
* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: Jac Naylor, although Rosie Marcel is quite the [[Ms. Fanservice]].
* [[Is It Always Like This?]]: Some characters think this way. But that's [[Truth in Television]], given the setting, and [[Justified Trope|justified]].
* [[Joker Immunity]]
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Subverted with Ric Griffin - He stole Michael Spence's wife, and generally comes off as smug when he constantly relays messages to Michael from his ex-wife & Michael suffers a setback in his career. It's a subversion, because Ric has cancer, which appears to be both [[Laser-Guided Karma]] & letting him get away with all of this as other characters feel sorry for him. ''At the same time''.
Line 57:
* [[Living Prop]]: Often [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the characters, ''especially'' Elliott and Jac.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Obvious, for a show like this.
* [[Meta Guy|Meta Girl]]: Jac Naylor.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Cardio Thoracic surgeon Anton Meyer (George Irving) in the first few series. In the first episode he told a patient that if he (the patient) ever smoked again he (Meyer) would personally undo everything he had done on the operating table.
* [[More Popular Spinoff]].
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: The [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] characters, and Jenny Elwood.
Line 74:
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]: Happens now and then in the show.
* [[Saw Star Wars 27 Times]]: Comedian Toby Hadoke plays a character in the episode "Snow Queens" who shamelessly boats over how many times he's watched ''[[The Matrix]]''.
* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen|She Who Must Not Be Seen]]: Tracey Lang, a frequently-mentioned character. Fans of the show often wonder why she isn't shown on-screen.
** Also Gemma Oddi, a name referenced ''multiple times'' on computer monitors on the show since 2008-2009, but her face has always been obscured or the camera pans too fast for the viewer to see it.
* [[Shown Their Work]]
