Sexy Shirt Switch: Bluntly implied in "International Creature Convention," where after Walter and Simon Sex hook up, Simon wears a shirt that just says "Walter's shirt." | |

Trailers Always Spoil: One of the preview clips that shows up on Netflix is the "I Choose Love" song... which is the final scene of the show. It blatantly spoils that Rochelle does eventually turn back into a Lovebug and reconcile with her friends. | |

Condescending Compassion: A couple approach Alice out of nowhere during dinner and call her an "inspiration." Alice thinks they're referring to her work as an activist, but it's clear they just think her existence is "inspiring" because she's a wheelchair user, even assuming Shawn is her "helper" or "brother" instead of her date. Alice doesn't appreciate this. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
Human Resources (2022) / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: A Running Gag in "Love in the Time of Postpartum" is that Barry looks like Becca's dad from the side, which Becca dislikes. However, Cat Stevens shows Emmy a flashback where Becca's dad didn't show up for her wedding to Barry, so Barry walks her down the isle since he looks like her dad. This memory endears Emmy to Barry and convinces her to fight for the marriage. | |

Hospital Visit Hesitation | |
Human Resources (2022) / int_2aefb60 | comment |
Hospital Visit Hesitation: When Sara's mother went to the hospital due to complications with cancer, Sara assured herself (with the help of her Logic Rock, Van) that she would get better and come home from the hospital within a week, likely because she didn't want to see her mother in that state. Her mother died in the hospital, and Sara feels so much guilt from not visiting her that she repressed all memories of her mother and refuses to talk about her. | |

Rochelle and Petra's client Nadya is set to go to Rutgers with her girlfriend Danielle, but then gets accepted to the more prestigious Berkeley. Petra pushes Nadya to go to Berkeley, as it's her family's alma mater and would look great on her resume, while Rochelle wants Nadya to go to Rutgers to be with her beloved girlfriend. At prom, Nadya declares that she's going to Rutgers to be with Danielle, but this leads to their breakup as Danielle doesn't like being the sole factor in Nadya's decision. | |

Crazy Workplace: The spin-off gives the spotlight to a society of monsters who work in an office handling various aspects of human emotions and afflictions, such as depression, shame, logic, love, sexual drive, and addiction. The show's comedy often comes from these weird monsters working in a mundane office setting, leading to things like Hormone Monsters having sex in the break room. | |

Third Line, Some Waiting | |
Human Resources (2022) / int_4c37b23 | comment |
Third Line, Some Waiting: Each episode has an A-plot, a B-plot, and sometimes a C-plot. The A- or B-plot typically follows one of the main stories (Emmy becoming a professional Lovebug, Rochelle and Pete's dynamic, Walter and his client Yara) while either the B- or C-plot is reserved for more minor characters and more zany antics, usually the Hormone Monsters. It's common for one plot to either stay within one episode or take a backseat so one of the other plots can take the center stage. | |

Sex in a Shared Room | |
Human Resources (2022) / int_4f4190db | comment |
Sex in a Shared Room: At the start of "Training Day," Mona and Gavin have sex in the lunchroom... while another monster, José, is getting his lunch. Apparently, the monsters have sex at work so often that it's becoming a hazard to others (the aforementioned monster injures himself slipping on their ejaculate), so they get sentenced to Sensitivity Training. | |

Kinky Role-Playing | |
Human Resources (2022) / int_6a937b9f | comment |
Kinky Role-Playing: In "Rutgers is for Lovers," Maury and Connie try role-playing in the bedroom to spice up their boring relationship. Maury dresses as a cowboy (though his character actually works at a Dairy Queen) named Bogart Saint-Humphrey while Connie dresses as a spy named Cleopatra Dickins, looking for a serial killer who's been "murdering pussy." They act this scenario out in the local bar, but Connie has to break character to help a very drunk Sonya. Unfortunately, Maury refuses to break character. In "International Creature Convention," Lionel begins an affair with another Shame Wizard who wants him to kill her abusive husband. Lionel's murder attempt fails and he's knocked out. When he wakes up, he learns that he's gotten caught up in a cuckoldry role-play scenario between the Shame Wizard couple. He goes along with it, even shooting the husband again... except this time he wasn't wearing his bulletproof vest, so Lionel actually shoots him. | |

The "I Love You" Stigma: In "International Creature Convention," Connie gets annoyed at Maury telling random people "I love you" because he's never said it to her in their millions of years together. They designate a special time to say it to each other for the first time, but find it incredibly awkward to have sex afterwards, as they feel less inclined to get aggressive towards one another during sex. They decide the best way to love each other is to talk about how much they hate each other so their sex life can still be intact. | |

Interspecies Romance: Sonia falls in love with a human woman named Claudia, who's able to see her despite Sonia not being her client. Sonia plans to quit and move to Earth to live with Claudia, but she realizes that exposing Claudia to her world will only make her more dissatisfied with life. To a lesser extent the relationships between the different monsters: Rita, a Shame Wizard, and Kitty, a Depression Kitty, have been having a sexual relationship for millennia. Dante, an Addiction Angel, has romantic and sexual relationships with Emmy and Rochelle, who are both Love Bugs. Walter, another Love Bug, has a sexual relationship with Simon Sex, a Hormone Monster, before finally becoming an Official Couple at the International Creature Convention. Cat Stevens, a Depression Kitty, jokes about having Love Bug ancestry. There's also some ship tease between him and Emmy. Pete, a Logic Rock, has a crush on Rochelle. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Dante spent the first season acting like a self-centered jerk who prided himself on his three dicks. He casually manipulated Pete into almost giving Doug a heart attack, remorselessly dumped Emmy after using her, and then played a hand in Emmy and Rochelle's friendship blowing up when he started dating the latter and encouraged her to feign innocence. In the season finale, Dante's favorite penis gets pinned by a statue during the storm, and Pete has to amputate it to stop the blood loss. Needless to say, Dante's pride got knocked down a peg by the end of the episode. | |

In the episode "It's Almost Over", Walter initially acts hostile towards Nathalie, only to warm up to her personality and approve of her sneaking Yara out of the house for a day of fun. This shows that the two are like-minded and that Walter would become her Lovebug by the end of the episode. | |

Mayfly–December Romance: Sonia, a millions-year-old Lovebug, falls for Claudia, a young adult human woman. The fact Sonia will outlive Claudia comes up during Claudia's breakdown, which is one reason why Sonia decides they can't be together. | |

Waxing Lyrical: In "Love in the Time of Postpartum," Barry talks about how Kelly Clarkson helped him through his depression, and quotes her while trying to uplift Becca. (She later returns the favor by telling him, "My life would suck without you.") In "The Light," Aquarius tells Claudia, "Baby you're a firework, come on, show them what you're worth." Claudia lampshades that it's a Katy Perry song, but Aquarius insists he hates songs. Aquarius tacks on a reference to another Katy Perry song: "You gonna kiss a girl and you gonna like it!" Yara's memory of her last day with Safi has Safi quote "500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be)" in Arabic (with "miles" appropriately replaced with "kilometers" since they're in Lebanon). | |

It's Okay to Cry: In "It's Almost Over," Keith from Grief keeps trying to get Amir to show sadness for his dying mother, but Amir is too focused on keeping her alive, with his Logic Rock Pete insisting that they shouldn't get distracted by their emotions. Near the end of the episode, Amir finally admits that he's sad that she's dying, and he, Walter, and Pete all have a good cry over it (with Pete also crying about Rochelle) which makes them feel better. | |

Flanderization: Invoked. Because the various Human Resources monsters tend to each embody only a single personality trait they only become more extreme in their manifestations of that trait. To the point where they struggle to act, or even think, in any way that does not align with the stereotypes associated with that trait. They likewise try to push the humans whose cases they work on to become more narrowly focused on the monster's particular trait. | |

Human Resources (2022) / int_f5333f3b | comment |
Extraordinary World, Ordinary Problems: As the various monsters are representations of human emotion and thought, they are heavily involved in mundane problems. Becca, for example, has to deal with postpartum depression. The monsters themselves have to deal with things like: Having feelings for someone who just doesn't like you back.

Love Makes You Crazy: A recurring theme in the show, particularly among the Lovebugs, is that love will drive you to do ridiculous, irrational things. Walter is obsessed with love to disturbing degrees, and even sings a song demonstrating to Emmy that "love is a psycho." He feeds into Yara's dementia by trying to keep her in her memories of her love life, and lashes out at Amir for interrupting her fantasy. Emmy's feelings for Dante become a literal addiction due to his magic dust. She snorts up any remnant of his dust and becomes obsessed with seeing him again, even when he wants nothing to do with her. Rochelle encourages her clients to make bad decisions in the name of love. While it works in some cases, most of the time it backfires on her and the humans. This extends to her personal life where she begins dating Dante behind Emmy's back. When she tries to justify it by saying she's in love, she makes matters and Emmy feel even worse and nearly destroys their friendship. Sonia and Claudia's romance drives them both to make rash decisions that they later regret. Sonia quits her job and plans to live on Earth with Claudia, something that no monster is supposed to do, despite Walter's pleas that getting involved with a human is dangerous for both parties. This turns out to be true when Claudia's mental health spirals as a result of her love for Sonia, as she becomes depressed that not everybody can have their kind of love. Seeing how she's affected Claudia, Sonia decides to end the relationship and tells Claudia to seek help from her loved ones on Earth. | |
