"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Welcome to Chippendales / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Somen/Steve’s mother is not happy that he left India in the first place and did not stay behind to run the family business. The fact that he’s running a male strip club really upsets her. He becomes particularly bitter after returning from his father’s funeral. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Welcome to Chippendales / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Some of the shots used in the trailers are different from the ones used in the actual show. For instance: in the trailer, there's a close-up on Dorothy's face when she informs Paul that women can get horny too. No such close-up is found in the actual episode. | |

Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Although he's set to appear in four of the show's eight episodes, Lance barely has any screentime in the trailers, only appearing in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it capacity. This is in stark contrast to Dorothy and Paul, who are heavily promoted alongside the main cast but die at the end of the first episode. | |

It Will Never Catch On | |
| Welcome to Chippendales / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On: Steve is quick to reject the concept for the Hunkenstein's Manster number in "Velveeta", calling it "sick and demented" and a "grotesque horror show". Later, when Nick starts his own Chippendales in New York, he's able to bring the concept to life there, and it proves to be a smash hit. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Welcome to Chippendales / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The show portrays Steve as the one who came up with the idea for a male strip club, eliciting a baffled reaction from Paul. In reality, it was Paul himself who came up eith the idea. Paul had long since died when Nick joined the Chippendales business, but in the show, Nick joins shortly after the strip shows begin and clashes with Paul over how the club is run, ultimately being the one to dismiss him. The show omits Dorothy and Paul's divorce and estrangement, as well as Dorothy actually having an affair with Peter Bogdanovich, which, in the narrative, is portrayed as nothing but Paul jumping to conclusions out of jealousy and possessiveness. Irene and Denise are both mostly based on real people (see Composite Character specifically for Denise), but Irene's entire backstory is fabricated due to a lack of information, and Denise's real-life equivalent wasn't a costume designer nor did she come up with the breakaway pants. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Very debatable how heroic it is. But Steve does commit suicide so the government cannot seize the Chippendales or any other assets thus ensuring Irene and his children will be financially set for life. | |

Token Minority: Conversed through the character of Otis, the only black Chippendales dancer in a sea of white men. Although he initially rises into the role of most popular dancer at the original Chippendales club in Los Angeles, he's isolated from the others from the start, isn't completely comfortable with the harassment he gets from the women at the club, and even Steve had certain reservations about hiring him due to his skin color. Otis will eventually question this role, and this will result in a rift between him and Steve, leading to Otis' departure and him filing a lawsuit against Steve. | |

Charity Workplace Calendar: "Velveeta" at one point depicts the inception and making of Chippendales' famous calendars. The idea comes to Steve when Ray Colon, the handyman hired by Irene, brings up photography as one of his skills, and to put the idea in motion, Steve brings the dancers (along with a few additional beefcakes to fill out the remaining months) to his house for a photoshoot, without Nick's awareness or involvement. | |

Moral Guardians: At one point in "Four Geniuses", a group of women come to Chippendales to protest the club's sinfulness. They carry signs with Bible quotes, like Romans 8:12, "do not live according to the flesh." Steve actually instigated the protest, he calls a news crew to report on it, with the intention of further spreading the word about the club. | |

They have an arguement about it, and Nick continues to do so in subsequent TV appearances, prompting Steve to make a TV appearance of his own, which he's visibly uncomfortable with. | |

Love at First Sight: A more risqué take on the trope in "Velveeta". Denise spots Lance on the dance floor and is immediately drawn to him. On the very next scene, she takes him back to Nick's apartment with her and lets him take her doggy-style. Love at First Note: Similarly, in "Just Business", Nick becomes enamored with Bradford after hearing him sing. | |

All Women Are Lustful: Downplayed in the narrative itself, but actively invoked by the concept of Chippendales as a business. Dorothy has to spell it out to Paul to convince him to go along with it, and later, Irene suggests having men allowed in the club past 10PM in order to appease the horny women and make them stick around even after the strip show is done. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl | |
| Welcome to Chippendales / int_eb5b71fe | comment |
Clingy Jealous Guy: Paul, who's bothered by Dorothy supporting Steve's idea of a strip club for women, and throws a tantrum when Peter Bodganovich offers her a movie role, thinking he just wants to sleep with her and take her away from him. It's what ultimately leads to both Paul being dismissed from Chippendales as well as his and Dorothy's demise. | |

Too Good for This Sinful Earth | |
| Welcome to Chippendales / int_ee9877ea | comment |
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Dorothy is portrayed as fawned over by many men, is responsible for most of the ideas that lead Chippendales to success, and is offered a starring role in Peter Bogdanovich's movie. Unfortunately, due to her scumbag of a husband, she doesn't last long in the narrative. | |
