Cooper Barrett and his two friends Barry and Neal are just your normal millennials, fresh out of college. They've got a good apartment, reasonable jobs and interesting romantic prospects, and maybe even a dream for the future.Oh, and Cooper has been kidnapped, and is currently tied to a chair while large men with guns stand around him menacingly.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })"Don't worry. This will all make sense eventually."Every episode begins with Cooper and his friends in some bizarre and dangerous situation, before rewinding to show exactly what's going on. Cooper himself often addresses the camera directly, pointing out the stupider mistakes he and his friends make, and providing suggestions for how to avoid this situation in your own life.Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life premiered on January 3rd, 2016, on Fox. Unfortunately, poor ratings ensured Cooper Barrett wouldn't survive its first season. Fox cancelled it on May 12, 2016, burning off the remaining three episodes in June. |

Breaking the Fourth Wall |

comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Cooper directly addresses the camera, even turning away from the show's in-universe events in order to do so. |

Actor Allusion |
| | Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life / int_392372f9 |
comment |
Actor Allusion: Episode 6 starts with Cooper swearing off tequila since it causes him to talk in a "bad British accent." He then demonstrates said accent, which happens to be the way his English actor, Jack Cutmore-Scott, actually talks. |

The Lancer |
| | Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life / int_60b21fa3 |
comment |
Josh is The Lancer, Cooper's brother who's only called in for emergencies. Professional and successful foil. He's also married to Leslie, in contrast to the Will They or Won't They? between Cooper and Kelly. |

The Leader |

comment |
Cooper is The Leader as the main protagonist who most of the stories revolve around. A screw up and a hustler. |

comment |
Don't Try This at Home: Most of the lessons consist of rather simple "See this stuff we're doing? It's a bad idea. Don't do it." |

Big Damn Heroes: Josh is usually the one who has to come in and save Cooper, whether it be paying off an enormous bar tab or helping Cooper escape a bunch of angry tough guys. |
