Tropes present in the series:
"Mark: What, I get four seasons and that's it? I get murdered?!?
 * Achievements in Ignorance: The party magician. He keeps doing all those cool classic tricks magicians do and he doesn't understand why or how it's happening.
 * Anyone Can Die: Characters and actors themselves can fall victim at any moment.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: To various degrees, from the opening segments with the cast discussing and talking to the audience at home to sketches with characters wondering who the actors are talking to as they address the camera.
 * Captain Ersatz: Brian becomes one of Terry Fox at the end of the pilot episode.
 * Crosses the Line Twice: Man drinking urine by accident? Not funny. Andy interrupting a sketch to drink his own urine on handheld cam while screaming "PISS CHUG!"? Hilarious.
 * Everything's Worse with Bears: "Please exit through the door on the left, the one marked bears."
 * Freeze-Frame Bonus: The part time job ads are loaded with them, such as an ad reading "Your mother is a terrible person, I took her out for dinner and neglected to call her back."
 * Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: When Mark decides to use the time travel machine to good and kill Hitler, he goes back to before his birth to kill his mother. He finds her so hot that he ends up being Hitler's father instead.
 * Idiosyncratic Wipes: With rainbows and unicorns!
 * Jerkass Genie: Averted. The genie gives you exactly what you desire, no twisted words, and even warns you if you're wasting your wishes. He's just unlucky to be in a Crapsack World populated by gigantic morons with no sense of the worth of a magical wish.
 * Even more so with the Genie of the Gun. He does everything he can to cheer up the depressive guy who wants to kill himself. With suede, lots and lots of suede.
 * Offscreen Moment of Amusing Injuries: Andy filming himself doing a skating stunt.
 * Once Per Episode: Every episode in season one ends with a cast member in the hospital and all the others bedside.
 * Refuge in Audacity: Constantly.
 * Stable Time Loop: Mark gets a letter from the future from a fan sad that he got murdered in the fourth season. Everything he does to stop it only sets the chain of events in motion.

Bill: We get four seasons?"


 * Temporal Paradox: Nick's Jays. That's fast! Now you have to kill yourself. But who ever eats the burger?
 * Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket: Infomercial Plus, the actor agency that offers infomercial actors who are actually too dumb to use everyday items!
 * You Can't Fight Fate: Any prediction of a character's death will inevitably have a grisly end.
 * What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?
