The Drew Carey Show/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene - The show is pretty chock full of them, but one that stands out is when the crew decides to go to a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show for almost no reason and then gets into a dance off with fans of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The dance fight is broken up by police and the characters are shown back at Drew's house where the only mention of the events is Oswald complaining about high heels.
    • This is especially common for the occasional What's Wrong With This Episode episodes. Every now and then for April Fools the show had a contest to give a prize to whoever could point out the most errors. These episodes are guaranteed to be more Non Sequitur Scene than actual episode as the characters turn into puppets, the show is shot entirely in The Sims, actors switch places, or a hundred other random occurrences.
    • There is also the Drew Live episodes which are essentially cross overs with Whose Line Is It Anyway? in which the entire episode is shot live and the actors will at any random point be forced to ad lib a new line, or break from the show entirely to play out a Whose Line Is It Anyway? improv game.
    • Daffy Duck appeared in the season 3 finale looking for a job at Winfred-Louder, in the opening scene. After Daffy leaves, the incident is never brought up again. You;d think that if a classic cartoon came into the office, most people would be talking about it for hours on end!
  • Ensemble Darkhorse - Mimi, for one. But Craig Ferguson's Mr. Wick was also fairly popular.
  • Foe Yay - Drew and Mimi
  • Hilarious in Hindsight - Even though the sight of Lewis and Oswald dressed as Batman and Robin is already funny, it only got funnier when Diedrich Bader (Oswald) went on to voice Batman in the latest Batman cartoon.
  • Ho Yay - Oswald and Lewis. Lewis had to enter marriage counseling with Oswald and his fiancee because he plays a bigger part in Oswald's life than Oswald's girlfriend.
  • Nightmare Fuel - The puppet segment from What's Wrong With Episode II.
  • Tear Jerker - The end of "The Bachelor Party" where Drew watches the sex tape he made with his fiancee and the audience learns it's an attempted sex tape where his fiancee realizes she's regained her old weight and breaks up with Drew, saying it's his fault she became fat because she "can't be around someone who loves to eat". At the end of the episode he rewinds it and watches it over and over. Made worse since her parents used this same phrase to describe Drew in an earlier episode but it was played for laughs.
