Noah's Arc is a LGBT comedy/drama that ran on Logo from 2005 to 2006 for two seasons. The series centered around a group of Black gay male friends' lives and romances around Los Angeles.

Noah's Arc / int_137f467a | comment |
Hot Teacher: Chance, having a student and teacher's aide pursue him - as well as being fanservice in his own right the few times we see him shirtless. Note that, though he is the oldest of the main four cast, he's still quite young for a college professor in his position. | |

Fourth-Date Marriage: Fourth date is an exaggeration, but it is revealed early on that Chance and Eddie have only known each other for six months at the start of the series, considering marriage (and get married very soon into the series) and are moving in together. This is also notable for being portayed as a Fourth-Date Marriage in-universe. | |

The Smart Guy: Chance, being a college professor continually in pursuit of his academics. He also is a bit more withdrawn compared with the rest of the cast, and often will explain more complex matters to the rest of the group (often doubling as Mr. Exposition in the process). Though he doesn't wear them often, he's also the only one of the main cast who wears glasses, and is fairly thin compared to the more muscular (and in Alex's case, thicker) cast members. | |

Manipulative Bastard: Guy, who bit by bit manipulates both Alex and Trey in an attempt to get Alex out of the picture and be with Trey. His plan is effective enough that at one point even Noah, Ricky and Chance are questioning Alex's credibility. The Plan: Guy basically wants to make Alex appear to be vindictive and manipulative, while making himself seem kind and heroic, through a series of planned yet seemingly coincidental acts. In the end though, he is.... Out-Gambitted: For someone with such an elaborate plan, he's tricked surprisingly easily by a simple fake note. | |

Downer Ending | |
Noah's Arc / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Subverted at the end of the Noahs Arc first season. Wade just broke up with Noah, Chance's new husband is unconscious, Trey separated from Alex for a 6 month relief mission, and Ricky broke up with his love Junito. Though it seems objectively depressing, Noah, Chance, Alex and Ricky find comfort in each other and all just laugh about it. The trope is played much more straight at the end of season 2 however..... | |

No Bisexuals: Men in the Noah's Arc universe are apparently only gay, straight, or closeted. Even characters who have at least been implied to have had opposite sex relationships, such as Wade and Guy, are depicted as doing so solely to hide feelings for males or out of a poor understanding of their own sexuality. | |

Noah's Arc / int_60b21fa3 | comment |
The Lancer: Ricky, as a very clear foil to Noah. While Noah is very moral, relationship-oriented, romantic, and holds the group together, Ricky is much more pragmatic, highly promiscuous, sexually detached, and more than willing to abandon the group over a one-night stand. The stark contrast between them is lampshaded by both of them at different points in the series. Also, Ricky, Noah and Wade are involved in a love triangle highlighted in the movie. | |

Five-Man Band | |
Noah's Arc / int_92587498 | comment |
Five-Man Band: The Hero: Noah fits in that he has virtually all the non-combat qualities listed for the trope. He's the protagonist, is morally superior (frequently choosing Honor Before Reason), and compared to the rest of the group has a more balanced personality. He's the one who holds the group together, frequently reminding everyone how much they care about each other, and is almost always right in situations where he provides guidance/leadership. Even the wearing red/blue somewhat fits, as there are several scenes where he wears red specifically to make him stand out from the rest of the cast. He's also invariably front and center in any promotional photos and more often than not in scenes where the whole main cast is together. The Lancer: Ricky, as a very clear foil to Noah. While Noah is very moral, relationship-oriented, romantic, and holds the group together, Ricky is much more pragmatic, highly promiscuous, sexually detached, and more than willing to abandon the group over a one-night stand. The stark contrast between them is lampshaded by both of them at different points in the series. Also, Ricky, Noah and Wade are involved in a love triangle highlighted in the movie. The Smart Guy: Chance, being a college professor continually in pursuit of his academics. He also is a bit more withdrawn compared with the rest of the cast, and often will explain more complex matters to the rest of the group (often doubling as Mr. Exposition in the process). Though he doesn't wear them often, he's also the only one of the main cast who wears glasses, and is fairly thin compared to the more muscular (and in Alex's case, thicker) cast members. The Big Guy: Alex is a class 4, being outspoken, boisterous and dramatic. Though kind, he is the most aggressive and confrontational of the group when threatened. He is also an Emotional Bruiser. The One Guy: Wade; though the cast is made up of guys, Wade is by far the most masculine and lacks the "girlfriends" dynamic that the rest of the group share. He's also used for fanservice VERY frequently, as opposed to the main four cast members. And he's in a relationship with Noah. | |

Absent-Minded Professor: Deconstructed with Chance. When he has moments of forgetfulness (which are more frequent than the rest of the cast), it initially is played for laughs. Later on though, the behavior is gradually linked to his stresses at home (especially regarding his husband and stepdaughter). | |

Karma Houdini: To an extent, Noah. For how relationship-focused he seems to be, he cheated on his first love, led on two other boyfriends and broke up with them because he essentially became uninterested, and relentlessly pursued and had sex with Wade knowing he was in a happy relationship. If it were any other character doing these things to Noah, they would be dismissed as a jerk, but Noah is never once called out on this. | |

The Hero | |
Noah's Arc / int_e49686 | comment |
The Hero: Noah fits in that he has virtually all the non-combat qualities listed for the trope. He's the protagonist, is morally superior (frequently choosing Honor Before Reason), and compared to the rest of the group has a more balanced personality. He's the one who holds the group together, frequently reminding everyone how much they care about each other, and is almost always right in situations where he provides guidance/leadership. Even the wearing red/blue somewhat fits, as there are several scenes where he wears red specifically to make him stand out from the rest of the cast. He's also invariably front and center in any promotional photos and more often than not in scenes where the whole main cast is together. | |

The Plan | |
Noah's Arc / int_e851b5 | comment |
The Plan: Guy basically wants to make Alex appear to be vindictive and manipulative, while making himself seem kind and heroic, through a series of planned yet seemingly coincidental acts. In the end though, he is.... Out-Gambitted: For someone with such an elaborate plan, he's tricked surprisingly easily by a simple fake note. | |

Allergic to Love | |
Noah's Arc / int_f5416685 | comment |
Allergic to Love: Played with. At the start of one episode Ricky looks unusually pale, and Noah asks if he's sick. Ricky says he thinks he's "falling in love", implied to be thinking about Junito, and then passes out. He wakes up later in a hospital. We later find out it was actually a Staph infection. | |

Lady Drunk: Brandy is a bit younger than the typical Lady Drunk, but still fits the trope otherwise (her position of power somewhat puts her in an "older" role). Her jaded and sarcastic personality also fits the trope.
