Mulaney is a comedy that aired on the Fox network. It centered around comedian John Mulaney (played by comedian John Mulaney) getting the opportunity of the lifetime when he's chosen as a writer for legendary comic Lou Cannon (Martin Short). The cast was rounded out by John's best friend and fellow comedian Motif, angry roommate Jane (Nasim Pedrad), The Friend Nobody Likes Andre, and their neighbor Oscar (Elliott Gould).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Produced by Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live fame. Mulaney was formerly a writer for the show and Short was an actor, though all three never overlapped at once. The trailer for the series can be seen here.It debuted in October 2014 with a 16 episode order and a cushy time slot, right after Family Guy. Unfortunately, critics and viewers were not kind to it, dismissing it as a Seinfeld ripoff. After a few weeks, FOX cut the episode order from 16 to 13* They had just finished filming episode 13, FOX simply told them not to bother making the final 3. and moved Mulaney to an earlier timeslot...where more often than not, it was preempted by a football game. FOX officially canceled it on March 15, 2015, one month after the 13th episode aired. | |

Calvinball: Celebrity You-Guessed-It makes no sense. John asking how the game works has become a running gag. Even Mary Jo, who runs the show, says it makes no sense. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Much like Seinfeld, there are sequences of Mulaney performing standup. Unlike Seinfeld, which could have been In-Universe, these take place on the set. | |

Captain Ersatz: "Motif in the City" has Motif's old crew... which are blatant ersatz versions of the cast of Sex and the City (with Motif being the Carrie). | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Apparently John in school, his grades were fine but he always got a low "effort" grade, which bothered his mother. | |

Ascended Meme: John's Girl of the Week in "Sweet Jane" saying that she defended him when people said he was ripping off Seinfeld is a reference to Real Life detractors to the show saying the same. | |
