Line 15:
* [[Embarrassing Tattoo]]: Berg tried to prevent Pete from discovering that Pete's new girlfriend had his [Berg's] name tattooed on her.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Season 2's Halloween episode (See below)
* [[EverybodysEverybody's Dead, Dave]]: In the season 2 Halloween episode, a Berg doppleganger killed all of the supporting and primary cast (With the exception of the real Berg, who was killed by Pete who thought it was the the doopleganger), for the sole reason of getting the pizza place, and "all the pizza [they] could want". Cue ominous thunder and lightning, maniacal laughter & a death glare at the camera. The episode ended on a parody of the "On the next..." teasers, where it cut to the various sets, all abandoned.
* [[Five -Man Band]]
** [[The Hero]]/[[The Lancer]]: Pete & Berg, alternating depending on the episode. Berg also falls under [[The Medic]].
** [[The Chick]]/[[Team Mom]]: Sharon
Line 30:
** "Halloween 2: Mind Over Body": A mad scientist switches Pete and Ashley's brains and then Berg and Sharon's, and it's up to [[Book Dumb|Johnny]] to fix it. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
** "The Satanic Curses": Jealous of their [[True Companions|True Companionship]], Irene summons Satanic powers to curse Berg, Pete and Sharon. Berg becomes increasingly deformed, Pete grows Ashley's head on his shoulder and Sharon grows a penis. {{spoiler|And it's bigger than Johnny's}}.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]] / [[Retroactive Recognition]]: [[Firefly|Captain Mal Reynolds]]/[[Castle]] is married to [[Monk|Natalie Teeger]] who has been friends with [[Green Lantern|Hal Jordan]]/[[X-Men|Deadpool]] since college.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Following the lead of the show's original title, most episodes in the first couple seasons used a variant of "Two Guys, a Girl and ______".
* [[I See London]]: Ashley does this to Johnny.
Line 40:
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Finally averted, with the first season being released on DVD in April 2012, and the remaining three seasons scheduled to follow later in the year. ''Over a decade after the show went off the air'', and long after [[Ryan Reynolds]] & [[Nathan Fillion]] have achieved greater popularity with other roles.
** [[No Export for You]]: But only in Europe.
* [[Kill 'Em All]]: Parodied in the Season 2 [[Halloween Episode]].
* [[The Ladette]]: Shawn.
* [[Language of Love]]: Played on when Pete falls in love with a beautiful woman who only speaks French.
* [[Limited Social Circle]]: Lampshaded by Berg, when Pete {{spoiler|thinks he's in love with Sharon}}, Berg warns Pete against pursuing her because if she doesn't feel the same way, then it could destroy the dynamic of the group & he [Berg] just doesn't have the time to find new friends.
* [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]]: The second Halloween special had a mad scientist switch Berg & Sharon's brains. Berg plays this trope straight, when he bemoans being in Sharon's body before he realises ''he's in Sharon's body'' and tries to run off to the bathroom to look at himself naked. Pete & Ashley had their brains switched too, but didn't invoke this trope.
* [[Neat Freak]]: Pete.
* [[Never My Fault]]: Ashley is the biggest offender.
Line 70:
* [[Tsundere]]: Marti.
* [[Two Guys and A Girl]]: This is very oddly averted when ALL THREE (Ryan Reynolds, Richard Ruccolo, and Traylor Howard) end up being paired off with OTHER people (Ryan with co-worker/later Ruccolo's stalker, Richard with Tiffany Thiesen/later Berg's ex, and Traylor with Nathan Fillion), which is unusual for the trope.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]?
** Pete started working at the titular pizza place, whilst trying to move into architecture; realised he hated the field & inadvertently got a job as a job counselor and later a make-up salesman, before becoming a fireman.
** Berg worked alongside Pete at the pizza place, whilst taking part in numerous medical experiments; spent a period looking for a career before becoming a med student/Doctor.
Line 76:
** Johnny was introduced as a jukebox repairman, which was retconned into being a general handyman; before becoming the building superintendent & later a fireman.
** Parodied with Mr Bauer in season 1, as he would continuously tell Pete tales from his life - All of which were clearly popular movies, or stories from from documentaries about famous figures.
* [[Whole -Plot Reference]]: A [[Running Gag]] with Mr Bauer in Season 1, with him repeatedly claiming that the plots of popular movies (Such as ''[[Raiders Of The Lost Arc]]'', for example) are actually tales from his life.
