=== '''This show provides examples of:''' ===
* [[A Boy and His Dog]]: The basic premise.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Ryan's father seems to have been one of these, [["Well Done, Son" Guy|pressuring Ryan]] into becoming a lawyer. We later learn threw Ryan's mother into an mental asylum.
** However, Ryan's sister routinely calls him out on using using this [[Freudian Excuse]] and Ryan's mother points out that she's always been a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] and she ''was'' clearly unwell when he committed her (having climbed up the chimney to escape the pressure of hosting a dinner for her husband's boss).
* [[A God I Am]]: Wilfred does one of the greatest of these EVER, in "Respect". On a roof, in the pouring rain:
Line 111:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Wilfred is a little insecure about Sarah/Jenna's affections, and plays Adam/Ryan like a violin to stay Number 1.
** As revealed during the season 1 finale, Ryan was one too. When he returns to his old ways {{spoiler|he screws pretty much everyone's life up}}
* [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane]]: Was Wilfred actually possessed by Ryan's old dog Sneakers in US episode 8, or was he just pretending to to ultimately get back at Kristen? Wilfred knows things that only Sneakers would, but at the end of the episode acts as if he were only trying to get Kristen to admit that she didn't hate Wilfred. All of which is a MMMM on whether or not you believe Wilfred is a sentient dog, Ryan just imagining his own inner voice, or if Wilfred knew something was wrong and pulled a [[Batman Gambit]] to [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|try and give Ryan closure.]]
* [[Metaphorgotten]]:
{{quote| [When Wilfred wants to rescue a stuffed teddy bear from Darryl, [[It Makes Sense in Context|an animal raping daycare owner]].]<br />
Line 148:
** Episode six has {{spoiler|Wilfred giving Ryan a lethal dose of Theobromine, only for the pair to discover it's the chemical in chocolate that makes it lethal to dogs,}} making it one of the few [[Did Not Do the Research]] examples for Wilfred.
** See Drew's anecdote in "[[Kick Them While They Are Down]]" up there? What ''actually'' happened was that {{spoiler|Drew bought ''himself'' the Sheboygan Lager, spit it in the other guy's face, and yelled at him to "lick my balls"}}.
* [[The Un
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Drew and "bro".
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Ryan only became a lawyer to please his father and to keep him from throwing him into the loony bin like his mother.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: Inverted, as co-creator Jason Gann has said in an interview that he and the other creators ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ginVsgz-NDw actually were on drugs when they created the show.]''
* [[Why Do You Hate the Dog]]: Twisted all to hell and gone.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: In US episode 6. It was meant to be a [[Batman Gambit]], but it worked out after the "lose condition" happened anyway. The plan was for Ryan to challenge Drew to a ping-pong game and win, hoping that Jenna would be in the vicinity to see him [[Sore Loser|lose his shit]]. He still went pretty crazy after ''winning''.
