Just Shoot Me/YMMV
- Creator's Pet: Maya, who was most often used to voice the writers' own anti-materialistic or pro-empathy opinions, but was in fact as much of a greedy asshole as any of the other characters. Sometimes this was played for Hypocritical Humor, but more often it wasn't lampshaded or called out, making her just a Hypocrite. Also, while like the other characters she still suffered and failed, it was clear the audience was supposed to feel bad about her suffering and failing, as opposed to pointing and laughing at it happening to any of the others.
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Nina and Finch.
- Fetish Fuel: Aside from the incredibly attractive main characters, there's a number of fetishes invoked in various episodes.
- Notable example: Maya's boyfriend of the episode is rather generous with food. Eventually, (after he sends her an enormous wheel of cheese and her simply sitting down causes her pant's button to fly off with enough force to become irrevocably embedded in the wooden window frame) she begins to suspect that he's trying to fatten her up.
- From the same episode, her father is quite happy with her boyfriend's attempt to fatten her up. He compares it favourably to an executive who likes to go out to karaoke clubs dressed in drag.
- Relationship Writing Fumble: Eliot and Maya finally started dating but then broke up.
- Retroactive Recognition: Minor recurring character Persky was played by Tom Kenny, who is better known as SpongeBob SquarePants among others.
