A Dilbert-esque look at office life created by and starring Drew Carey, about a guy named Drew Carey living in Cleveland, Ohio working middle management of the Winfred Louder department store as the Assistant Director of Personnel. There is no Director of Personnel, he has all the responsibility but none of the pay. As part of his job Drew has to deal with his Mean Boss Mr. Wick with a perpetually conniving secretary, Mimi, both of whom hate Drew's guts just because he's there. And that is all on top of general office bureaucracy.Drew is the perpetual everyman who can never seem to get ahead in life, bad things never stop happening to him. He still hangs out with his friends from high school, Lewis, Oswald and Kate (who started as purely platonic friends with Drew only to become his later love interest). Also, his dog is crippled. He makes things work appreciating what he has and living an honest life, even starting a micro-brewery with his friends with the coffee flavored Buzz Beer.As a result of having more creative freedom due to being uncancellable for a time, the series would go on to become Denser and Wackier as it went on, similar to Night Court (in fact, one episode of The Drew Carey Show had a cameo by Daffy Duck, similar to how Night Court had one with Wile E. Coyote). There was few lines it wouldn't cross. Later seasons would have Oswald and Lewis treated by a dentist who is a very over-the-top Dr. Frankenstein parody, an episode done mostly in improv (to spoof Drew Carey's role as host of Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and several episodes were made littered with intentional mistakes which the audience could tally for a contest note which were often random, over-the-top sight gags, ranging from hairstyle changes, actor changes, characters being replaced by sock puppets, and an entire scene being done in Machinima using The Sims (reruns in syndication would have on-screen notes indicating every error). Mimi and Drew engaged in escalating prank wars that reach a point where, after Drew drenches Mimi's desk in paint and hits her in the face with a cold cream pie, Mimi responds by drugging Drew and dropping him off at the Great Wall of China.Carey and Ryan Stiles (Lewis) became fixtures for Whose Line Is It Anyway? that also featured several other cast members briefly. Stiles himself was a veteran of the UK show before being cast on Drew Carey.Sort of a Work Com, but one which focuses on a single character rather than an ensemble.

Tempting Fate: In one of the episodes where Drew is being sued for putting up a cartoon that was deemed ofensive, Drew convinces Kate to talk to an ex-boyfriend that happens to be a (sleazy) lawyer. Drew is convinced that he will help him win the case. Lewis tells him not to be so smug and tempt faith, Drew screams at faith to go and give him its best shot. Kate then pushes the guy off, and tells him to stay away from her. The lawyer storms off, and tells her that Drew will likely lose the case. Kate then apologizes to Drew for costing him a lawyer, but she refuses to give him another shot.

Right Behind Me: Drew hates Wick's idea to wear costumes to work in The Devil You Say" and goes on a rant about how stupid it is. When he realizes Wick has just walked up behind him, Drew attempts to cover with, "And then I said..." Mimi has a similar thing happen when she's making fun of Drew for wearing a suit and tie on casual day, only for Mr. Wick to exit his office while she's talking. Also in a suit and tie.

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Drew Carey himself sang the show's original theme tune, a cover of "Moon Over Parma". Visiting Whose Line Is It Anyway? cast member Wayne Brady is asked to create a disco style theme for "Drew Live 2". Naturally, it manifests as a Shout-Out to Shaft.

Halloween Episode

Halloween Episode: Three over nine seasons: "The Devil You Say" (Season 2): Kate's latest boyfriend claims to be the Devil. When she off-handedly remarks she'd sell her soul for a soda, he intends to make her stick to it. "Drew Tries to Kill Mimi" (Season 5): On Halloween, Mimi embarrasses Drew at the office, and he's so angry he threatens to kill her. When he gets distracted by a bee in his car, though, he nearly runs Mimi over in the parking lot and faces a police investigation. "It's Halloween, Dummy" (Season 7): Winfred Louder's newest boss takes a liking to Drew and puts him in charge of a Halloween party for charity. More, he intends to implement Drew's ideas to improve the company and give him a promotion. So, of course, one of the scares at the party prompts a fatal heart-attack. To get his ideas implemented, Drew will have to make use of his new ventriloquism hobby.

Girl on Girl Is Hot: Being a tv series of the 1990s and early 2000s, there are a few jokes fetishizing lesbians and bisexual women. "What Women Don't Want": Kate tries to set Lewis up with a woman at the bar, only for the women to take interest in her instead. Lewis is clearly aroused by the sight. "2 Girls For Every Boy": Drew is thrilled when he thinks the girl he is dating in this episode is a bisexual woman.

Except it turns out Drew was invited. The guy throwing the party had planted invitations in every pocket in Drew's suit while doing an embarrassing magic trick in the office. Drew just never checked his pockets and thought he was being made fun of. When Mimi asks where her invitation was hidden, though, she finds out she really wasn't invited. Nobody likes her because she's mean

Secret Test of Character: Drew is stuck with a choice of giving the new head personal shopper job to either his girlfriend Lisa or his best friend Kate. He tests them by having them both try and dress Mimi. Kate does a fine job, putting Mimi in very lovely and professional business attire that actually makes her look normal. Lisa put Mimi in a ridiculous rainbow dress with a rotating solar system hat. Drew ends up declaring Lisa the winner because Mimi loved her outfit and hated Kate's choice, and personal shoppers are supposed to get things customers will want to buy.

Nothing but Skin and Bones: Subverted in an episode. Drew is on a hunger strike and when Mr. Wick comes to see him at home, Wick finds Drew lying on the couch due to lack of energy and is now extremely skinny. But it turns out that Drew knew Wick was coming over and he got an assist from a pizza delivery man who is naturally extremely skinny. The pizza guy is willing to help because Drew on a hunger strike is costing him business. They lay on the couch together, covered by a blanket, arranged in a way that it looks like Drew's head is on the other guy's body.

Characterization Marches On
 The Drew Carey Show / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: In his debut, Eugene is pretty much an ever-nodding yes-man who simply goes along with Wick's sentiments, while trying to keep his mouth shut, as he explains to Drew, "I've paid attention around here - people who shoot off their mouths never get ahead." There is also no hint that he's gay and seems eager to accompany Wick to a strip club. In his other two episodes he's slightly neurotic and suddenly has a not-so-secret crush on Drew, even trying to get him to change teams. Drew's brother Steve was almost entirely defined by his status as a Wholesome Crossdresser for awhile, and then he married Mimi. Almost immediately afterwards he stopped crossdressing and lost most of his established personality traits, becoming essentially a completely different (and much flatter) character. This was never really explained; it's possible he did it to please Mimi, but her accepting that part of him was a major part of their courtship story arc. In an 2017 interview with The AV Club, John Carroll Lynch, who played Steve, said that this change was done at the request of nervous ABC executives. In the "Drew's Inheritance", Steve is told he only gets his share of his late uncle's money if he stops crossdressing. Something that surely would have enticed Mimi...

Early-Installment Weirdness

comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The show started off fairly typical Slice of Life sitcom, but with slightly more zany sensibilities than others. By the third season it started playing with more outlandish premises, with "Spot the Mistakes" episodes turning up in season four. Mimi was in the first episode, but doesn't really develop the Sitcom Archnemesis relationship with Drew until part way through the first season (Mimi was not intended to be a cast member, she was a one bit character where Kathy Kinney nailed the role so well they made her a cast member). Drews' boss was also Mr. Bell, seen mostly as The Voice by Kevin Pollack, before being let go at the end of the season and Mr. Wick, played by Craig Ferguson, became a mainstay cast member.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 The Drew Carey Show / int_670db7d7

Formula-Breaking Episode: Spot the Mistakes, every season around April Fools' Day; usually held as a contest. The show also had a number of "theme episodes", or just simple seemingly out-of-place moments (such as a sudden musical number to resolve the serious A-plot), that would have some off-kilter take on things; this was due to Drew Carey having cannily signed a contract to produce the show for a set number of seasons and that protected it from a large amount of Executive Meddling, allowing him to do whatever the hell he wanted to a certain extent. It became infamous enough for these episodes that Weird Al even mentioned it in his song about TV:

Recursive Crossdressing: Parodied in "Drew's Inheritance," which centered on the wacky hijinks resulting from the will of the Careys' late eccentric television-and-movies-obsessed Uncle Cecil. Each potential recipient had to fulfill a condition somehow relating to a favored movie. His condition for Steve Carey was to dress like a woman pretending to be a man. Generally a Wholesome Crossdresser, Steve wore a suit for the will reading and remarks that he's already fulfilled the condition. The executor comments that Uncle Cecil didn't think that one through very far.

Overjoyed, Drew goes over to Mimi's desk, but as he's about to fire her, Mimi says that she felt her baby (his nephew) kick her. Not wanting to be the guy who fired a pregnant woman, much less one carrying his brother's child, he looks for another employee to fire.

Later-Installment Weirdness: The show saw a number of major differences in its last two seasons, especially the final season. Many of the show's major characters were written off for various different reasons; Drew, Mimi, and Mr. Wick are now working for an entirely different company (Mr. Wick in particular is now a janitor and tries working his way back up to the top of the corporate ladder); the show goes through three different new theme songs; the show switched from a multi-camera Studio Audience format to a single-camera Laugh Track format, which also resulted in Chaos Architecture with the sets; and plots became a tad absurd, such as Mimi's house being burned down to force her into moving in with Drew.

Laser-Guided Karma: In the very first "What's Wrong With This Episode?" (season 3, episode 22), Wick plays a cruel game with an employee threatening to fire him unless he can shoot an apple on Wick's head with a crossbow Wick provides him. Unbeknownst to the employee, Wick has rigged the crossbow to discharge a flag with the words "You're fired" written on it. The flag is indeed deployed but as the employee examines the crossbow, the bolt is fired somehow and flies right into one of Wick's testicles.

The Bus Came Back: Drew's co-worker, Larry Almada, disappeared in 1999 when Ian Gomez got cast on The Norm Show. Drew would bump into Larry, though, in Season 8's "Chemistry Schmemistry" and learned he had become a matchmaker in the interim. Afterwards, Larry resumed being a recurring character for the rest of the show's run. Craig Ferguson, who left in Season 8, returned for the show's series finale in Season 9.

Stealing the Credit: The b-plot of "Drew Learns Hot Salsa" has Scott and Evan hiring Mimi to find out which of their employees leaked their latest ordering software to one of their competitors. In a surprise twist, it turns out that Evan is the one guilty of stealing credit, albeit unintentionally: the software he supposedly came up with was actually invented three years prior by a Malaysian kid from Milwaukee who debuted it at a computer fair Evan judged. Evan had subconsciously recalled the software but not who invented it, thus making himself believe he was the original creator.

Reunion Revenge: The episode where the gang goes to their high school reunion provides two examples. The biggest one was Oswald finding himself stripped and bound to a bed by "Porky" Parker, an overweight girl at the time who he had a fling with but then denied all knowledge of - and who was now slim, attractive, and out to humiliate him. A low-key example landed on Kate, who made explicit her desire to find someone with money when talking to the other members of Oswald's barbershop quartet. Their response in song:

The show also had a number of "theme episodes", or just simple seemingly out-of-place moments (such as a sudden musical number to resolve the serious A-plot), that would have some off-kilter take on things; this was due to Drew Carey having cannily signed a contract to produce the show for a set number of seasons and that protected it from a large amount of Executive Meddling, allowing him to do whatever the hell he wanted to a certain extent. It became infamous enough for these episodes that Weird Al even mentioned it in his song about TV:

Twofer Token Minority: In "Steve and Mimi", Drew is forced to lay off a number of Winfred-Louder employees, including his own brother Steve. Wick sarcastically suggests that if Drew is uncomfortable firing Steve, he can instead choose the Asian woman in a wheelchair whose husband is a labor lawyer.

Berserk Button: Drew Carey stated that the Friends theme song became this for him in real life. He had nothing against the show itself, or any of the actors, but hated his show being called a "Friends clone" just because it was a sitcom about someone who had friends. (And then ABC went and put his other show right up against Friends. For added irony, all three shows were produced by Warner Bros. Television.)

In an effort to hide their relationship, Drew enlists his buddy Jay to pose as Lisa's boyfriend, which leads to him being forced to watch her kiss Jay, which pisses him off.

Really Gets Around: In high school Kate was so promiscuous that she was nicknamed "Give It Away Kate." In season 2 Kate dates a man who claims to be the Devil (and the fact that he's prescient and supernaturally good at pool gives credibility to his claim). When he reveals that he believes Kate is a virgin and he's going to own her soul, Drew informs him that Kate is most definitely not a virgin. Angered, the maybe-Satan leaves when he realizes he's not going to own a virgin soul.

comment
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Used straight and subverted countless times—Drew's hooked up with Wanda Sykes and an aged Mrs Partridge, but has also slept with characters played by Jenny McCarthy, Christa Miller, and more. Unusual for the trope, it's made clear that Drew dates mostly on the basis of an actual relationship and not simply looks. One Story Arc had Nikki, a beautiful woman who was Formerly Fat and gradually gained a lot of weight being with him, and he never complained one bit. In a high school reunion episode, the (still attractive) cheerleader who used to mock him was suddenly attracted to him because he was a respectable guy with a steady job. And some would say Sykes and Mrs Partridge are still hot. In the literal sense, he ends the series married to Cynthia Watros.

When they attend the woman's funeral, they meet other former students who were preyed on by her. Kate even refers to her and Drew's relationship as "the most beautiful story of statutory rape I've ever heard". All of this is Played for Laughs.

comment
Irony: Drew finally managed to get Mimi fired by convincing Mr. Wick to put her into a cubicle, which she refused to do. Late, she and Drew's brother put their camper in his backyard and Drew discovered she was claustrophobic, which is a medical condition that would release her from the circumstances of why she was fired. When he learned that, he went crazy over the moral obligation and getting her out of his backyard vs. not having to deal with her at work. Meta example: in the episode where the executive ignores Drew's speech and goes on a racist and homophobic rant, an Asian employee gripes that the speech offended him... on the grounds that Asians are ignored so much in corporate culture, and society in general, that they are overlooked when it comes to racist insults. Neither the character nor the actor portraying him were seen or heard from again for the remainder of the series.

Shout-Out: Drew's Ghoulardi shirts. The show's first theme song "Moon Over Parma" was actually written by a Ghoulardi fan and performed on his show. In "Drewstock" when Special Guest Bernie Kosar tells Drew that a red-headed girl is looking for him, Drew replies "Good Grief!" The fursuiter Amy who Drew goes on a blind date with seems to borrow her name (and fursona) from Sabrina Online's Amy Squirrel.

Despite initially being outraged about the deception, Mimi continues to see him. Two episodes later, Mimi is confronted by Ron's wife who has discovered the affair. The woman spends a good 28 seconds calling Mimi all manner of awful names, yet there is no mention of her confronting her husband over the affair he took part in.

Vitriolic Best Buds: Later seasons showed that Drew and Mimi really know each other better than any of their friends, and by the last season they basically admitted it to each other. Mimi even became family by marrying his brother and in the last season when his brother was caught having an affair, Drew took Mimi's side. There's even an episode where they randomly meet on an anonymized Internet chat site and start to develop an online romance (neither is involved with anyone at the time). When Drew figures it out, he is somewhat traumatized.

Racist Grandma: In one episode, Drew wrote a speech for one of the store's owners to highlight how well they were doing. Said owner, an old white man, took the speech Off the Rails and went on a racist and homophobic rant, and thanked Drew for writing his speech. Drew was not happy. In an earlier episode, Drew wanted to quit his dead end job and asked his dad to talk to one of his friends if there were openings in any of the companies they worked in. Drew ultimately refused any job offers from them, when he discovered that his dad's lodge buddies, old white men, excluded ethnic minorities from their club, and spent all their time in the lodge telling racist jokes.

Flanderization: Drew remained the everyman, but Oswald's stupidity, Lewis' oddness and Kate's promiscuity were ramped up as the show continued. Mimi's make-up was just overdone and her clothing just poor fashion, later she practically wears clown make-up and aims to wear the most gawdy outfits imaginable. While he was always a Bad Boss, Wick became more exaggerated and wacky as the seasons went by. Mimi even points out that Wick is essentially a cartoon character Emmy Bait episode. In one of the April Fool's episodes, during a Hee Haw reference, he uses his real accent to do a "SAAAALUTE!" to his home town.

Crossover: With NYPD Blue, of all shows. With Whose Line Is It Anyway? on a few live episodes. In one episode, the gang watches a how-to video about roof repair hosted by none other than Tim Taylor. (This is ironic, as Tim Allen appeared in an earlier episode as himself.) In 1997, ABC forced a Cross Through stunt on Drew and the other Wednesday night sitcoms - Coach, Ellen and Grace Under Fire. Titled "Viva Las Vegas," the idea was that characters from the four shows would be in Las Vegas for different reasons and encounter each other. Only a couple characters from each series did this, however, and they amounted to cameos at best. This series' contribution was "Drew Gets Married." Notably, Drew himself was the only one to appear in every show that night.

Jerkass: On Lewis, Ryan Stiles has said that he's "less of a character and more a jerk". Mimi as well. This trope describes practically her entire character, although she certainly has her share of Pet the Dog moments. Both of Drew's bosses, Bell and Wick, are this. Bell less so, but he has moments where he delights in firing people and turning down a raise for Drew. Wick on the other hand gleefully admits to being a bully and spends more time coming up with elaborate ways to fire random people for fun than doing his job.

Hard-Work Montage: In one episode, Drew, who had been playing in a band decides to go to the office to quit his job to go on tour with a band, the other employees beg him to stay and fix their healthcare which was left in shambles due to mismanagement by Mrs. Louder's boyfriend. Drew tries to refuse, but eventually decides to stay. What follows is a montage of Drew making calls and filling out forms to drive down the cost of the employees' health insurance from several hundred thousand dollars, according to a whiteboard. Eventually, Drew falls asleep from exhaustion, Mimi comes into his cubicle, makes an adjustment to a form he was filling out, and writes that insurance is now 25 cents. Drew wakes up, takes a quarter from his pocket, and the other employees cheer that he paid for their health plans.

Mimi as well. This trope describes practically her entire character, although she certainly has her share of Pet the Dog moments.

Cross Through
 The Drew Carey Show / int_ff90e4ca
comment
In 1997, ABC forced a Cross Through stunt on Drew and the other Wednesday night sitcoms - Coach, Ellen and Grace Under Fire. Titled "Viva Las Vegas," the idea was that characters from the four shows would be in Las Vegas for different reasons and encounter each other. Only a couple characters from each series did this, however, and they amounted to cameos at best. This series' contribution was "Drew Gets Married." Notably, Drew himself was the only one to appear in every show that night.
