 The League
comment
A 2009 FX sitcom about a group of friends who all play in a fantasy football league. It's cut from a similar cloth as the show it airs after, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia—frequently Crossing the Line Twice and taking Refuge in Audacity that's described it as "Seinfeld on crack", which is ironic since co-creator Jeff Schaeffer was a writer/producer for Seinfeld—but a little better-adjusted, in part thanks to co-creator Schaeffer's influence on his work on Seinfeld.

Hanlon's Razor
 The League / int_118a2d16
comment
Hanlon's Razor: In one episode, Ruxin thinks Taco is trying to screw with him by manipulating him into sacrificing a great deal of time and money for an elaborate 5th wedding anniversary party for his wife, and Taco later gets Ruxin in trouble with his wife by showing her previously unseen footage of their wedding video. If it was another member of their group, it would seem plausible that it was done on purpose, but there's no way Taco would be capable of pulling off something like that, nor would he want to.

My Friends... and Zoidberg: A nonverbal example. After Ruxin wins the championship in the finale of season 2, he tussles with Andre for possession of the trophy. It ends up sailing off a fire escape and smashing through a car windshield. At that point, Pete arrives in the cop car he now drives, takes control of the situation, and whisks everyone away... except Ruxin, who they gleefully leave behind to deal with the furious owner of the car. Before the season 3 draft, Ruxin beckons the rest of the league to Andre's balcony.

Jizzed in My Pants: In "The Hot Tub", Kevin buys some "love pants" for his "sexaversary" with Jenny, but the pants ended up being so thin it feels like he's not wearing them at all. This leads to disaster when he ends up running into Sofia and when she ends up grazing him one time too many and he ends up "dropping his hot soup" on her, much to her horror.

Batman Gambit - Ruxin is very good at these. One particular incident involves knowing the size of Andre's little fatty by lying to Shiva by using his position as Commissioner to take her picture off of the trophy. However, it involves a full league vote to make a decision. Shiva found out after she told him, and Ruxin made no attempt to change their minds.

Noodle Incident: While never verbally mentioned, observant viewers can see that Taco has actually won the Shiva Bowl once. Due to his complete ineptitude at fantasy football, one can't help but wonder how this could have possibly happened. Instead of being engraved, his name is written on a piece of tape with sharpie and pasted on the trophy. Andre's hazing period.

Abuse Mistake: Jenny's young daughter Ellie catches her recording a video of herself smack talking about her husband Kevin and thinks she's threatening to beat him up. When Ellie sees Kevin's black eye (which he got from slipping and smashing his face into the table) she freaks out and calls the police. When Kevin comes to the door, he mentions to the cops that Jenny beat him (they play fantasy football and her team beat his), and they almost arrest her. He has to explain that she actually didn't give him the black eye, and he thinks the very idea is amusing because he's a man.

Wet Blanket Wife: Sofia very much dislikes fantasy football so she's often portrayed as a nag towards Ruxin and his friends for their obsession with it. She also overall tends to be controlling and demanding of Ruxin, thinking he doesn't put enough effort into being a good parent and husband and is often suspicious that he's up to some bizarre scheme (and considering how he's like she's often correct to suspect him).

One of the Boys: Jenny, though a somewhat unusual example—she's not really a tomboy and certainly is feminine. She's just really good at fantasy football and can engage with and challenge the guys on their own terms. She also seems more comfortable with the boys than with Sofia, who she finds irritating, though notably Sofia is the only female (other than her own daughter) that viewers see her interacting with on even a semi-regular basis.

 The League / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: The episode "Rafi and Dirty Randy". The League suddenly becomes a stoner crime comedy starring Rafi and Dirty Randy as they try to solve the murder of their friend. About three-quarters of the way through, they kill their favorite porn producer, become the owners of his mansion, and Dirty Randy ends up shooting Rafi in an insane duel. The whole thing is treated comedically, and hardly features any of the main cast members. Episodes following Rafi and Dirty Randy became a once-a-season feature after that point, with their final adventure being so bizarre it's actually animated.

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration
 The League / int_6c87dbef
comment
Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: In "Training Camp", Jenny is sexually frustrated due to Kevin refusing to have sex with her while she's pregnant, so she resorts to masturbating. Notably, like most of the guys, she has a sex fantasy with Shiva and orgasms while screaming her name. Much to her embarrassment when the guys catch her.

The Thing That Would Not Leave
 The League / int_6fed1f70
comment
The Thing That Would Not Leave: In "The Au Pair", Baby Geoffrey's au pair Ashley starts neglecting her job when she starts sleeping with Pete. Ruxin wants to fire her, but she blackmails him by threatening to tell Sofia that he was masturbating to her photo (he was actually wiping pee off his pants, but nobody would believe him) unless he continues to pay her for doing nothing. So to get her to quit, Ruxin enlists a second Thing That Would Not Leave in the form of Rafi, imagining that he'd be so disgusting and disturbing that she would want to leave. But this ends up backfiring when she actually gets turned on by Rafi and starts sleeping with him. Miraculously, the situation gets resolved when Rafi convinces her they're too good for Ruxin's house and move out.

Obsessive Sports Fan: Although the main characters are all Chicago Bears fans, they are probably more diehard fans of their fantasy football teams, going so far as to have incredibly awkward interactions with the NFL players who guest star. The only exception is Taco, who is both too stoned to really care and also is in a business partnership with Marshawn Lynch, not realizing that he is an NFL player.

Karma Houdini: Though everyone gets away with things sometimes, like when Kevin lost his virginity to Shiva in Pete's mom's car, left the condom behind, and kept the incident a secret for years, only revealing the truth after Pete had returned the favor to the person he THOUGHT guilty of the offense, losing an amazing job offer in the process, Taco rarely receives any sort of comeuppance for his outrageous behavior. Possibly justified, as they are used to his antics and/or feel guilty over making him smoke pot when he was 8, turning him into the massive stoner he is today.

Obfuscating Stupidity
 The League / int_a7aef9ff
comment
Obfuscating Stupidity: If Ruxin and Sofia's anniversary is any indication then Taco. He shot behind-the-scenes footage of their wedding and saved it for ten years so he could use it in what seems to be a very lengthy plan to incriminate and embarrass not only Ruxin, but Kevin, Andre, and Meegan as well, at an anniversary party he manipulated Ruxin into throwing in the first place. When his plan culminates in Ruxin having to eat a piece of wedding cake that had been thrown onto a bathroom floor, Ruxin calls him "an evil genius." In an interview the Producers confirm Taco is far smarter than given credit. Ever since the events between seasons 2 and 3, Taco has been shown to be far less clueless, much more deliberate in his actions and just flat out more intelligent. In the 5th season episode "Flowers for Taco", he gives up pot for the first time since he was eight, becomes arguably the smartest member of the group, and even suddenly regains the ability to speak French (which he apparently learned in high school). This is resolved by the group forcing him to get high again.

The Friend Nobody Likes: They all dump on Andre constantly. Slightly averted with Pete, who appears to at least voluntarily hang out with Andre on a semi-regular basis (although he still gives him a hard time like the others). Further averted in season 3 when the league members band together to try and save Andre from his interior decorator girlfriend whom (they believe) is trying to fleece him out of his money, even to the point of going clothes shopping with him. Ruxin will travel to Los Angeles for Andre's wedding (held at the same time as the draft) even though he's (at the time) not in the league. They have to trick Rafi out of the league (and pretty much everything else). He still pops up though: "RAFIBOMB!"

Ms. Fanservice: Shiva, the main character's nerd classmate who grew up to be a massive sexpot and a Hospital Hottie, which is why the main characters named their trophy the "The Shiva Bowl Trophy" and overall treat her like a Lust Object and have sexual fantasizes about her. Sofia is a Head-Turning Beauty and Spicy Latina Trophy Wife of Ruxin who is often played for fanservice whenever she shows up, and is something of a Lust Object for all the male characters. She frequently wears revealing dresses or is show in a state of undress (usually via Toplessness from the Back). Many of the Girl of the Week that show up at the show tend to be incredibly attractive and get a lot of Male Gaze.

Amoral Attorney: Both Ruxin and Kevin; a rare example where a criminal prosecutor isn't really any better than his defense attorney counterpart. Ruxin has become much more amoral since the first episode, while Kevin has been shown to be moral but incompetent. In addition, Ruxin rarely works as a defense attorney (claiming to do an average of 3 criminal cases a year), usually working as a corporate attorney. He's still amoral, and works for the most amoral of clients (serving as part of BP's legal team during the 2010 oil spill).

We Want Our Jerk Back!
 The League / int_c631f304
comment
We Want Our Jerk Back!: In one episode, Taco sobers up for the first time in years after he loses his marijuana stash. Sober Taco ends up making the rest of the gang feel annoyed by him pointing out just how awful or lazy they all are, as well as his sudden competence both in life in general and in their Fantasy Football league (they generally viewed playing him as a free win due to a mix of his Insane Troll Logic and his general apathy for the game, both of which were gone when he sobered up). In the end, they end up pinning him to the ground and forcing him to get high again.

Informed Judaism
 The League / int_c673210e
comment
Informed Judaism: Ruxin mentions being Jewish in the first episode, describing himself as looking like a Nazi cartoon of a Jew. However he is not practicing, and in fact is married to a Catholic and Baby Geoffrey was baptized (he told his mother it was a really progressive synagogue). In one episode he celebrates Sukkot in order to get his son into a prestigious Jewish preschool. In another episode, Ruxin and his wife get in an argument over what religion to raise Baby Geoffrey in. Averted with Ruxin's sister, who is mentioned to be Orthodox. This trope is even more true with Ted, who is only known to be Jewish because a rabbi was at his funeral.

Emasculated Cuckold: Played for Laughs in the first Season Finale when Andre is dating the real Shiva and starts getting uncomfortable with how the other guys treat her name and trophy as Lust Object. And when they learn he's dating her, they just up the ante. Pete even sets up for her to be his urologist, so he can taunt Andre about how Shiva "touched his balls", which prompts Andre to get so mad and jealous he bursts into her office in the middle of the exam and tries to strangle Pete.

Male Gaze: Being a show targeted at male audiences, most of the Girl of the Week characters (and few of the recurring ones) are played up for fanservice, often with objectifying camera shots.

In "The Usual Bet", the eponymous bet has the loser having to go streaking at night in the street, with Jenny being the one forced to do it at the end of the episode. (The audience only sees her Shoulders-Up Nudity and Toplessness from the Back)

Played With in "Epi-Sexy", where Pete has the most amazing sex in his life with Girl of the Week Heather, but not because she's actually skilled in lovemaking, but because she has epilepsy and she had a seizure while riding Pete, and her erratic movements made the sex amazing. This leads to Pete to try to provoke a seizure on himself and he almost ends up killing himself.

Clingy Jealous Girl: Sofia forbids Ruxin from watching porn, for she considers it cheating. She's even mad when she finds out he masturbates to a picture of her. Jenny is usually not the jealous type and doesn't care if Kevin watches porn or finds some other woman hot, but one episode has her getting jealous of Kevin's attraction to Sofia.

Kitschy Local Commercial: Several of Taco's ideas and schemes in were accompanied with these. They were typically filmed using homeless people and girls he slept with as the actors and were typically filmed in Andre's apartment (which they would break into without his knowledge). These commercials include one where he advertises the fact that he had become a unlicensed notary by pressing his notary stamp against a suicide bomber, turning him into a flag-waving, smiling man with a beer.

Comically Missingthe Point: Taco, constantly, to the point where the rest of the gang don't even bother correcting him on his misconceptions but just roll with it. When the gang show off new versions of the Shiva trophy to Andre that openly mock him, Andre says "it's almost like you're making fun of me" and the group exchange stunned glances that Andre doesn't get that's the point of all this.

Running Gag: "Shiva Blasting" (screaming out Shiva's full name). The guys often end up as "Eskimo brothers" (meaning both slept with the same woman). Andre looking like Nosferatu. "I'm standing right here!" "A marathon." "A what?" Rafi calling Kevin "Brian". Ruxin yelling "Forever unclean!"

With Friends Like These...: Even without the constant volleys of insults and pranks, every single member of the League will manipulate and betray any other member for even the slightest of advantages in their fantasy football tournament. Except for Taco, who is too stoned to know what manipulate means. One episode has Pete tell his friends that they're the worst people he knows. They take this in stride.
