The Cameo | |
| Bros / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: What gay movie would be complete without Debra Messing or Kristin Chenoweth? Other cameos include Harvey Fierstein, Bowen Yang, and a host of straight comedians at the end. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Bros / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Bobby can be angry, judgmental, and rude. However, we see his heart of gold shine more and more when he is with Aaron. | |

Faux Horrific | |
| Bros / int_5080221 | comment |
Faux Horrific: Played with. While lying in bed after sex, Aaron begins talking about a personal experience he had when he was 13 and his tone is deadly serious. Bobby listens intently, expecting Aaron to share a deep personal trauma. Instead, it was the first time he watched chocolate candies getting made, which made him want to be a chocolatier. Bobby is annoyed that Aaron would be so dramatic about such a thing, but to Aaron it really is a serious issue because it's something that interests him but he doesn't want to be seen as that kind of gay. | |

No Bisexuals | |
| Bros / int_5679208c | comment |
No Bisexuals: Discussed by Robert who always rants against bisexual erasure. Bobby also says Freddie Mercury really was gay and not bisexual regarding Bohemian Rhapsody, which portrays him as bi (it's debated in reality). | |

Soapbox Sadie | |
| Bros / int_6b11ff57 | comment |
Soapbox Sadie: Bobby has a bit of a chip on his shoulder about gay rights and fighting homophobia, and when he's not being snarky in every direction he will get very vehement about this. | |

A Threesome Is Hot | |
| Bros / int_7a667c8d | comment |
A Threesome Is Hot: Subverted twice. First, Bobby joins Aaron on a foursome with another couple but Bobby ends up being sidelined. Later, Bobby and Aaron hook up with Josh but an obnoxious guy named Steve makes everything awkward. Eventually, it's clear that Bobby prefers to have Aaron for himself. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Bros / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Debra Messing considers donating to the final wing of the LGBTQ+ History Museum. When she comes for the museum tour, Bobby is so preoccupied thinking about Aaron that instead of giving her the tour, he bombards her with requests for relationship advice. This ends up frustrating her so much that she leaves in a huff, requiring them to solicit funds elsewhere. | |

Fetish | |
| Bros / int_9dadfaee | comment |
Fetish: Parodied. The first time Bobby and Aaron have sex, they run through a gamut of fetishes including wrestling, muscle worship, foot worship, etc. But it's established that they're both genuinely into wrestling as foreplay. | |

I Am Not Spock | |
| Bros / int_bf828517 | comment |
I Am Not Spock: In-Universe, Debra Messing is frustrated by random gay men coming up to her asking for relationship advice. Bobby doing so proves to be the last straw, where she explicitly shouts "I am not Grace!" and bails out of donating to the final museum wing. | |

Deconstructed Character Archetype | |
| Bros / int_ec9a5f50 | comment |
Deconstructed Character Archetype: Bobby and Aaron's personalities deconstruct the Camp Gay and Straight Gay tropes, respectively, and they serve as a foil to each other. Bobby worked hard to be proud of who he is, but his outspoken nature makes him judgmental and quick to argue. And while Aaron is more easygoing and personable, he harbors insecurity towards being seen as too gay, so he maintains a masculine exterior and works a Soul-Crushing Desk Job in lieu of following his real passion of chocolatiering. | |
