Nip/Tuck is an American Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning television Medical Drama series created by Ryan Murphy for FX Networks that aired from 2003 to 2010.During its run, the show had the distinction of being one of the most controversial on basic cable, exploring beauty and the disturbing implications of it along with character drama in cases that were often Ripped from the Headlines. The show goes out of its way to alternate between showing everything that's ugly about human life and everything that's hot about sex, and all of the characters seem more than happy to perpetuate that dynamic.The show follows the lives of two plastic surgeons, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon), at the McNamara/Troy surgical practice. While the two are friends since college and part of a successful business, their lives are far from happy.Sean's marriage to Julia (Joely Richardson), who dropped out of medical school after becoming pregnant (with Christian's child, due to a one-night stand) is strained at best. Their "oldest" son Matt (John Hensley) is a complete screw-up of epic proportions who does the most stupid things one can imagine. Meanwhile, Christian is a self-absorbed serial womanizer with a tragic past (his father raped his mother, who gave him up for adoption, where he was sexually abused by his foster father). He has multiple relationships over the course of the series, most notably being his relationship with ex-actress/porn star Kimber (Kelly Carlson), who Christian once literally traded to a rival plastic surgeon for his car. Rounding out the cast is Liz Cruz (Roma Maffia), the lesbian anesthesiologist who is the sarcastic foil to Christian and generally the voice of reason within the show.Basically, every one of the core characters, and most of the supporting ones, are people you want to reach through the screen and slap at least once per episode. Or run away from.

Sean and Christian engage in one with a high-class call-girl. Notable for sounding like a subversion of the "one guy two girls" dynamic while actually being completely unlike most examples of the trope. It's not really a "threesome" so much as it is "they take turns mounting her".

I Love the Dead
 Nip/Tuck / int_217a1adf
comment
I Love the Dead: Christian is accused of this when he tries to obtain a Jane Doe from the morgue. The clerk on duty tells an anecdote about a man who wanted to get his freak on with his dead lover's corpse...so she wouldn't criticize him. There's a real example that's even more disgusting than usual where a lonely funeral worker assembles a Frankenstein-esque body from various stolen body parts, including his dead sister's head. He then proceeds to have sex with it.

Promotion to Opening Titles: Several.

Liz and Kimber remain so until the end of the show, Gina and Dr. Costa are both dropped after Season 3, although Gina begins appearing as a guest star again.

Girl on Girl Is Hot: A subversion in the first-season tryst between Matt, his friend Vanessa, and her girlfriend. Vanessa feels her girlfriend misses boys, so she invites Matt to a threesome. Someone is always left out, a very different (and more realistic) outcome than the trope usually presents.

So Beautiful, It's a Curse
 Nip/Tuck / int_3b9b21c9
comment
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: In the episode "Willow Banks", a woman wants to look ordinary because she feels her beauty is a curse. She gets what she wished for in a car accident and then realizes that, no matter how much she romanticizes the ugly for being liked for who they are, or how "hard" it is to be beautiful, anything less is at least ten times worse. Christian Troy is devilishly handsome Casanova, but he's strictly heterosexual. He's gotten unwanted advances from more than one man, which he usually reacts to either with disgust or in one instance a punch to the face. Played for laughs when he agrees to be featured in Playgirl in the hopes that it will draw in more female clients, not knowing the usual readership of the magazine.

Menacing Mask The Carver wears a pale white mask with blankly staring human-like eyes, blushed cheeks, and red lips giving the appearance of a woman. While murdering Briggite Reinholdt, Theodora "Teddy" Rowe wears a latex mask that makes her look malformed and inhuman especially when she talks since the mouth of the mask moves along with her actual mouth behind it. Complete with close-ups of her eyes as they peer through the holes and the masked mouth.

Anorgasmia
 Nip/Tuck / int_3edb41
comment
Anorgasmia: McNamara & Troy once had a female patient who was unable to experience orgasms as a result of genital mutilation. They performed a pro bono surgery that restored the woman's clitoris, but it took Liz's verbal help to make the patient orgasm successfully. In the episode "Joel Seabrook", Kimber and Christian are having difficulty in bed. After Christian makes a failed attempt to "spice things up" on the advice of an auto-asphyxiator (Which, unsurprisingly, hurts Kimber), Kimber tries to take the lead for their next encounter after consulting the Kama Sutra. However, this doesn't go over well, either, especially after Kimber's orgasm is so uncharacteristic, in Christian's eyes, that he stops everything and accuses her of faking it.

Just the Way You Are: Aversion being the entire point of the show. Becomes completely ridiculous and hypocritical when Liz sleeps with a pre-op transexual woman, telling her she sees her for who she is. After she decides not to have her penis removed Liz tells her that she doesn't want to pursue a long-term relationship, saying that she won't be able to look past her "wrapping." What.

Yoyo Plotpoint: Basically, if a character isn't dead, expect them to come back, (and even then don't rule it out.) Characters from any episode, any season, and any situation can reappear for little or no explanation, often causing the scenes shown in the "Previously on Nip/Tuck" flashbacks to be from FOUR SEASONS PRIOR.

In "Shari Noble", Christian goes with Liz go to a lesbian bar to be her wingman, but he's unhelpful because she considers herself a "six" and he keeps suggesting girls that are eights or nines. She spots what she considers a "10" looking at her, but Christian arrogantly believes the girl is checking him out, only to be shot down and discover she really was looking at Liz. Tragically, the "10" turns out to be a Honey Trap who only brings Liz to her home in order to steal her kidney.

Pathologically oversexed, determinedly shallow, given to anything from sexual harassment on up to psychological warfare as seduction tactics (see, for example, the scene in the "pilot" where he strips his latest conquest naked, stands her in front of a full-length mirror, and uses a red lipstick to indicate flaws he finds surgically improvable), and an overwhelming fan favorite. Possibly because of the hotness, possibly because of the tragic backstory, possibly because he's the only major character who isn't an insufferable hypocrite.

Three-Way Sex
 Nip/Tuck / int_5565bf30
comment
Three-Way Sex: As per its Everybody Has Lots of Sex notoriety, the show seems to engage in this trope with a fair amount of regularity. Most of the time it's just Christian doing it because, you know, he's Christian, but a couple of plot-focused examples stand out: Matt agrees to engage in these with his ex-girlfriend lesbian cheerleader and her also-a-cheerleader lover, who feels that her new girlfriend is getting turned off the relationship because she's "not getting enough cock". Sean and Christian engage in one with a high-class call-girl. Notable for sounding like a subversion of the "one guy two girls" dynamic while actually being completely unlike most examples of the trope. It's not really a "threesome" so much as it is "they take turns mounting her".

Mistaken for Gay: When Heterosexual Life-Partners Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are selecting chocolate for Christian's upcoming wedding, the chocolatier mistakes them for a gay couple because of how comfortable they are discussing their love lives with each other. They jokingly play along before bursting into laughter.

comment
D-Cup Distress: There's a subversion in the episode Jenny Juggs, where title character has incredibly huge breasts that she can even use as weapons, knocking out the protagonist and breaking a pumpkin with them. Her breasts have caused her a lot of self-esteem issues, not helped by the fact that she's a stripper. She is finally convinced by the protagonist to get a breast reduction bringing her to a C-cup but ends up getting upset anyway because she thinks her breasts are too small. Another subversion in an early episode where the patient of the week is a woman who had had incredibly large breast implants, then wants them reduced again. It turns out that she's actually working for a drug dealer who is using the implants to smuggle his product into the country.

Christian Troy is devilishly handsome Casanova, but he's strictly heterosexual. He's gotten unwanted advances from more than one man, which he usually reacts to either with disgust or in one instance a punch to the face. Played for laughs when he agrees to be featured in Playgirl in the hopes that it will draw in more female clients, not knowing the usual readership of the magazine.

He visits the clinic with the intent of getting a penis reduction.

Sexiness Score

Sexiness Score: In "Pilot", Kimberly becomes offended when Christian rates her an "8" but says he can make her a "10" with his surgery. This gets a Call-Back in "Megan O'Hara", where Christian calls a post-surgery Kimberly an "11" after seeing her doing a photoshoot. In "Natasha Charles", the Patient of the Week asks Christian to "make her a 10" when talking about her surgery. In "Shari Noble", Christian goes with Liz go to a lesbian bar to be her wingman, but he's unhelpful because she considers herself a "six" and he keeps suggesting girls that are eights or nines. She spots what she considers a "10" looking at her, but Christian arrogantly believes the girl is checking him out, only to be shot down and discover she really was looking at Liz. Tragically, the "10" turns out to be a Honey Trap who only brings Liz to her home in order to steal her kidney.

Swiss-Cheese Security
 Nip/Tuck / int_72c07237
comment
Swiss-Cheese Security: Season 5 is a major offender with character Colleen Rose. Colleen harassed Sean throughout half of the season, and in this time (from the point she is discovered to be an impostor) she managed to break into: the studio Sean was working in, his apartment to try to kill herself and die in his arms, his clinic (although it does have a flimsy security at best) in order to beg that he fixes her pulse, the Studio AGAIN, and this time presumably knocking out another minor cast member of the series he was part of since she took the role of an assisting medic within and in dangerous proximity to a blade, his apartment AGAIN to plant a BODY of a "rival" agent (she wasn't a real agent to begin with), and finally at his clinic AGAIN to try and murder him. That's made worse by the fact that she is an ordinary (albeit crazy) middle-aged woman. Not only does she break into 3 locations that ought to have some sort of security, she does so again in the SAME ORDER with apparently no difficulty whatsoever.

Prison Rape
 Nip/Tuck / int_758c3034
comment
Prison Rape: The show managed to take the jackpot without even showing anything. All it took was one word - "anal retread". That's the type of operation a former inmate blackmails a surgeon into performing on him for free. The patient claims what happened to him wasn't gay - it was about surrendering. During the operation, the surgeon doesn't forget to turn on "How Deep Is Your Love" and mention how loose his patient's anus is. When Matt goes to prison in season 6, his cellmate repeatedly rapes him, and threatens to do worse unless Christian gives Matt breast implants.

Sex Is Good: So prevalent that attempts made by the writers to cast certain sex acts as having been a bad idea often fall flat. Indeed, when characters are informed of having made poor judgment calls in their sex lives, usually they give off a look of surprise, as if the possibility of negative consequences hadn't even remotely occurred to them regardless of how often this had happened to them in the past.

Trans Nature: The series seems to have a bit of a fascination with transgender (understandably, as the show is largely concerned with sex and plastic surgery); the most notable of these is Ava Moore (played by Famke Janssen), whom main character Christian calls "the goddamn Hope Diamond of transsexuals." They actually track down the surgeon responsible for Ava's near-flawless transformation, who agreed to do it because he was heterosexual and she was gay and in love with him.

What became of Aidan Stone after he broke his neck trying to suck his own penis? What happened to Mike Hamoui after Kimber killed herself by jumping off his yacht? The list goes on and on... This also seems to happen when a character is promoted to series regular. Grace Santiago was dropped with no explanation toward the end of the first season, and when Gina was added to the main cast of Season 3, she appeared a grand total of... four times. And was promptly removed and began appearing regularly as a guest star again.

Trans Equals Gay: The backstory for Ava Moore is that she was a homosexual socialite who fell in love with the pioneering sex reassignment surgeon Dr. Barret Moore, but he was strictly heterosexual. He eventually agreed to her romantic advances on the condition that she would become a woman, but even after the surgery he was never truly able to see her as one.

Fetishes Are Weird: Christian is in an on/off relationship with Gina, a sex addict, whom he eventually knocks up and sticks around with so he can be a responsible father despite his promiscuous nature. Christian later runs into a baby supply store clerk who slept with Gina and turns out to have a pregnant woman fetish. Christian is so disgusted by this revelation that he beats the man.

Back from the Dead: Julia's mother dies in a plane crash. When looking through the bodies, Julia finally finds the unidentifiable charred, but still human-shaped, remains of her mother. Suddenly, the body takes a huge gasp. Terrified, and knowing the woman will not have much a chance at survival anyway, Julia smothers her with a pillow. Later, she enters her apartment, where her mother has been sitting safe and sound all along, as she decided not to take the plane today.

Karmic Death: Rhea Reynolds, who pretended to be a Carver victim just to get attention. After Sean and Troy fix her face, the Carver shows up at her house and slashes her throat. Monica Wilder, a crazed babysitter who had an affair with Sean, gets run over by a bus right when she was about to tell the cops that Sean raped her, even though he didn't. What makes her death even more karmic was that Sean was seriously considering killing Monica himself minutes before she died. Season 6 provides the greatest example with Teddy Rowe. She intended to kill Sean and his children via carbon monoxide poisoning so she could get his insurance money. After she leaves them to die, she stumbles upon a camper who just so happened to be a serial killer...

Never My Fault: Julia always blames everyone else for her problems, mostly her husband. When aging widowed socialite Mrs Grubman threatens McNamara/Troy with a malpractice suit Sean blamed Liz when he was the one who didn’t do the follow up procedure. Gina is a sex addict, while Christen going to the meeting and treating her like a one nightstand was incredibly sleazy. She refuses to take responsibility for falling off the wagon and considering the fact that she still goes to her sexaholics meetings come across as a little hypocritical especially given the fact that she refuses to leave him alone. Taken even further after the revelation that she had been sleeping with other men around the same time.

However, she seems to not get how huge a deal CAA (the biggest talent agency in town) is when one of their agents comes to land Sean for himself. Meeting at her apartment, Colleen boasts she can do better by listing various stars she represents such as Nicole Kidman. Smirking, the CAA agent says he's impressed...since he represents Nicole Kidman. Which leads to Colleen filling him with stuffing to murder him.

Karma Houdini

Karma Houdini: In Season 3 the Carver and his sister Kit have successfully executed their escape plan and eager to continue their crimes. In Season 5 Eden was slowly poisoning Julia, and when exposed, shot her and told everyone that it was a suicide attempt. She asked Olivia to preserve this secret which resulted in her death. And since Julia's memories about those events never returned, Eden remains unpunished. In Season 6, Virginia Hayes doesn't get punished for suffocating Marcy Hamill. Matt seems to adore this trope. He doesn't get in trouble for running over and almost killing Cara Fitzgerald in Season 1. Or for burning down his apartment because he was cooking meth in Season 5. This was finally subverted in Season 6 when he was turned into the police for all the stores he robbed—not to mention he got shot in a botched robbery. But then it was played straight again; Matt didn't get a further prison sentence for strangling his cellmate to death.

No Pregger Sex: Christian gets physically violent with a store clerk who has sex with the woman carrying his child (even though Christian and the woman no longer have a sexual or emotional relationship). Though Christian has sex with her later on to help reduce her tension. The implication is that Christian freaks out because the clerk has a pregnancy fetish, which makes Christian "sick" for having sex with women to whom he's attracted. Considering that Christian is the show's Casanova, this helps solidify his position as being a giant hypocrite.

The Masochism Tango: Sean and Julia McNamara. They are so ungodly ill-suited for each other from the moment they appear onscreen that any other two people in the universe would have come to their senses and cut ties years ago: they tend to split up and recombine a minimum of once per season, swearing every time they do either one that this time, it's going to stick. It never does, and one wonders if even the writers can put up with their whining for much longer. At the end of the series, they do split up for good, with Julia moving overseas with Annie and Conor.

There's a nuanced portrayal of Sean's affair with a patient, which Sean appears to have initiated on the suspicion that his wife was having an affair with a hunky student. She wasn't. What really screws things up, though, is that their staff psychologist Grace suspects the affair exists and confides her suspicions to Christian. He promptly takes this information to Sean, who is furious at her for discussing suspicions about his personal life and nearly fires her- before she reveals that Christian had sex with her and that unless they have a professional reason to fire her she can file an unlawful termination lawsuit. Christian is either oblivious to the fact that Grace was telling him this because he's Sean's best friend, not because she's a gossip, or he's a Jerkass who was trying to use this as an excuse to get rid of her.

Rape Portrayed as Redemption: This could be the point of the Carver arc. The Carver selects beautiful models (both female and male), brutally rapes them and disfigures their faces.

Aesop Amnesia: Christian consistently "learning" not to be a selfish, coldhearted monster and immediately forgetting all about his lesson by the time the next episode rolls around, even though it always appeared he had made amends to start a new life the week (or season) before.

In Love with the Gangster's Girl

comment
In Love with the Gangster's Girl: Subverted in the pilot episode. Sean and Christian treat a Colombian client, Silvio Perez, that Christian quickly figures out is a drug trafficker. Perez admits he's on the run for "sleeping with the boss's girl". Christian, a shameless Casanova, accepts this reason. It later turns out that Perez is a pedophile who raped the boss's daughter. The boss, Escobar Gallardo, murders Perez on the operating table.

Fake Orgasm
 Nip/Tuck / int_c6f45871
comment
In the episode "Joel Seabrook", Kimber and Christian are having difficulty in bed. After Christian makes a failed attempt to "spice things up" on the advice of an auto-asphyxiator (Which, unsurprisingly, hurts Kimber), Kimber tries to take the lead for their next encounter after consulting the Kama Sutra. However, this doesn't go over well, either, especially after Kimber's orgasm is so uncharacteristic, in Christian's eyes, that he stops everything and accuses her of faking it.

Mrs. Robinson: The manipulative Ava Moore was a sexual predator who tended to go for partners who were significantly younger than her or even underaged. These include one of her students as a life coach (Matt) and her own son (Adrian). The reason for this is that Ava is a transgender woman with an incomplete vaginal cavity, and she hoped that inexperienced men wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Who's Your Daddy?: The show has this with Julia and the paternity of Matt. After finding out that Christian is his father, due to a one night stand before Julia's wedding to Sean, she hides it from Sean. She reveals it to Christian, Matt, and Sean (in that order) causing Sean to kick her out. Sean doesn't treat Matt any differently and eventually forgives both Julia and Christian for the affair. Also the Gina-Christian relationship, with Wilbur (Gina's son). Made much more complicated when she calls on Wilbur's biological father...

Transforming herself to look like Kimber and sleeping with Christian to experience what Kimber's sex life was like first-hand was the best she could do without slipping into villainous territory.

A-Cup Angst: Well, yes, there are several characters who have gotten breast implants on the show due to not liking their old ones, but it didn't happen as often as you might think for a show that focused on plastic surgery. Primarily because it's such a common procedure for the two main characters, and more bizarre cases were usually the subject of the week.

Lecherous Stepparent: Christian Troy hooks up with a young nurse and her cougar mother. While he's glad to fulfill a common male fantasy, he's rather disturbed when he learns that they sometimes involve the daughter's stepfather (Christian is himself the victim of child sexual abuse by his late stepfather). He throws them out of his apartment afterwards. Ava Moore is a significantly more messed-up example. She adopted a boy with her partner, then ran off and raised the child, Adrian, as her own son when the relationship ended. Ava is a sexual predator who prefers teenage boys, and Adrian was no exception. To complicate matters even further, she's also a transwoman.

For some reason it's worse that Julia cheated than it is that Christian did it with her, even though the latter is Sean's best friend and business partner. Christian is Easily Forgiven after a few episodes, but Sean isn't quite as nice to Julia. He verbally abuses and harasses her at every opportunity, invites his new porn star girlfriend to Matt's school functions, and tells Julia's mother to go screw herself when she tells Christian and Sean that Julia's about to head into an emotional breakdown and she needs an intervention. A few episodes later, she does.

I Just Want to Be Beautiful: Pretty much the whole point of the show. The main characters are two plastic surgeons, and pretty much all of their patients are shown living more fulfilling lives after their surgeries. Although it's not just purely minor imperfections that people gripe about, they also do pro bono procedures on severely disfigured individuals. But of course, it's also shown as an inherently obsessive pursuit.

Good Adultery, Bad Adultery
 Nip/Tuck / int_faf4a043
comment
Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Played with so much it's hard to find a consistent standard. To wit- Matt's girlfriend cheats on him with another cheerleader. This is treated as extremely bad. It is treated less bad however when he starts dating her girlfriend who has decided she isn't really a lesbian anyway (they met because Matt's lesbian girlfriend convinced him to join them in a threesome, as part of an abortive effort to salvage her relationship with the not-really-a-lesbian cheerleader). There's a nuanced portrayal of Sean's affair with a patient, which Sean appears to have initiated on the suspicion that his wife was having an affair with a hunky student. She wasn't. What really screws things up, though, is that their staff psychologist Grace suspects the affair exists and confides her suspicions to Christian. He promptly takes this information to Sean, who is furious at her for discussing suspicions about his personal life and nearly fires her- before she reveals that Christian had sex with her and that unless they have a professional reason to fire her she can file an unlawful termination lawsuit. Christian is either oblivious to the fact that Grace was telling him this because he's Sean's best friend, not because she's a gossip, or he's a Jerkass who was trying to use this as an excuse to get rid of her. It's treated as bad that Christian had sex with Sean's wife-to-be Julia right before she married Sean. However, Sean being royally pissed off when he finds about this betrayal is treated as an overreaction. Granted, all this happened over fifteen years ago. On the other hand the fact that Matt isn't really his son is a pretty big bombshell to drop on a guy when he's been under the assumption that his wife only had one sexual partner. If this sounds contradictory with the entry below it's because the "betrayal" dynamic shifts entirely depending on whether Christian or Julia is doing the betraying. For some reason it's worse that Julia cheated than it is that Christian did it with her, even though the latter is Sean's best friend and business partner. Christian is Easily Forgiven after a few episodes, but Sean isn't quite as nice to Julia. He verbally abuses and harasses her at every opportunity, invites his new porn star girlfriend to Matt's school functions, and tells Julia's mother to go screw herself when she tells Christian and Sean that Julia's about to head into an emotional breakdown and she needs an intervention. A few episodes later, she does. Explainable in that Christian is a case-study for promiscuity, selfishness and all around bad behavior and Sean is used to forgiving him for it and having low expectations, where as Julia is presented as 'madonna' until the truth comes out. Even Christian 'loves her from afar'(until he doesn't). In the third season Julia actually starts going out with the hunky student as a result of everything that happened above. This is the only particularly straightforward use of the trope's conventions. As you might be able to guess, it's hard to tell whether they're trying to subvert the trope's conventions or just doing a really bad job of using it straight.

Real After All: One episode has an elderly man asking Christian and Sean to remove a metal device from his body. He says it's evidence he was abducted by aliens working for the government and wants to hand it to the media. Before they do the surgery, an attractive blonde woman comes by, telling them the man is her father and mentally ill and the device is just a surgical implant. The man protests that the woman isn't his daughter ("My daughter is dark haired and fat!") and yells that he's being silenced as men in orderly clothes take him away. At the end of the night, Sean and Christian are talking on how sad it is to see someone lose their mind...at which point, an overweight brunette woman comes to the office, asking about her father and his surgery.
