'''''Two Guys, Aa Girl And A Pizza Place''''', [[Officially Shortened Title|eventually renamed]] ''Two Guys And A Girl'', (and not to be confused with [[Two Guys and a Girl|the trope of the same name]]) was a [[Sitcom]] centering around three friends- Michael Eugene Leslie "Berg" Bergen ([[Ryan Reynolds]]), the laid-back, ditzy pretty boy, Pete Dunville (Richard Ruccolo), the neurotic architecture student, and Sharon Carter ([[Monk|Traylor Howard]]), a tough girl who fits in with the group. In season two, Johnny Donnelly ([[Nathan Fillion]]), the jukebox repairman and Ashley Walker (Suzanne Cryer), the medical student were added. It ran four seasons on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] from 1998 to 2001.

Line 22:
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Irene
* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: The season 3 Halloween episode saw a [[Mad Scientist]] switch Pete's brain with Ashley's and Berg's brain with Sharon's, and the only one who can help them is Johnny.
* [[Friday Night Death Slot]]: After [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] moved it to Friday, they tried moving it back to midweek as a two-week test to see if anyone would watch. It failed and the show was canceled.
* [[Funny Background Event]]: The basis for an entire plot - Johnny bought a camcorder, and whilst messing around with it at a restaurant, an elderly woman starts choking in the background with Pete (Fireman) & Berg (Doctor) being completely oblivious to it whilst dicking around in front of the camera. Sharon performs the Heimlich Maneuver, and Peter & Berg are subject to repeated mocking throughout the city after the footage is broadcast on the local news & points out who they are & their professions.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Berg
Line 33:
* [[I See London]]: Ashley does this to Johnny.
* [[Jerkass]]: Sharon had her moments. One memorable one:
{{quote| Pete: (about a rollerblader) I hope he twirls into a bus.<br />
Sharon: God Pete, that's so mean. ''[[[Beat]]]'' I was thinking ''open trench''. }}
** Ashley really takes the cake when it comes to being a [[Jerkass]] though, sometimes she's a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], but not often.
Line 47:
* [[Never My Fault]]: Ashley is the biggest offender.
* [[No Dialogue Episode]]: ''The One Without Dialogue'' where we track the characters dealing with physical tasks that don't require any dialogue (except for a dream sequence dance scene)- Johnny needs to fix a toilet, Sharon needs to rescue [[Lost Wedding Ring|her wedding ring]], Pete chases after a woman on the subway etc. All the jokes come from their struggles with physical objects rather than dialogue.
* [[Non Action Dress Rip]]: Sharon's boyfriend Johnny rips the poofy sleeves off her hideous bridesmaid's dress, turning it ito something quite wearable.
* [[Open Says Me]]: Subverted. Pete tries to get into Ashley's apartment when there's a leak in it, by throwing himself against the door. He fails miserably but soon realises that the thing that stung him in the side [[We Have the Keys|was the key.]]
* [["On the Next..."]]: Parodied in the Season 2 Halloween episode.
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Melissa, Bill & Mr Bauer after season 1
* [[Retirony]]: Played straight in "Two Guys, a Girl and a Psycho Halloween", where an old cop (thinking our trio's claim of a killer is just a silly prank) states it's his last night on the job and then leaves to go to his retirement party.
{{quote| '''Berg:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Well, he's dead.]]}}
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Ashley can come off as this, due to coming from a very well-off family
* [[NonRip Action Dress RipTailoring]]: Sharon's boyfriend Johnny rips the poofy sleeves off her hideous bridesmaid's dress, turning it ito something quite wearable.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: As stated above, it was sent to the [[Friday Night Death Slot]]. Guess what happened.
** Subverted later on in the season, though, as noted above. Unlike the other Friday sitcoms, ABC did move the series back to its previous night as a test for renewal. Didn't work out, though.
Line 61:
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Irene towards Pete. {{spoiler|At least until after she started dating Berg}}
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: After Johnny accidentally suggests that ''The Boys of Fire Island'' was a perfect film for fire fighters like Pete and him, this happens:
{{quote| '''Sharon''': What are you guys going to see?<br />
'''Johnny''': Not gay porn! }}
* [[Three Plus Two]]
