* YourCheatingHeart: [[spoiler:Joanna has been cheating on her fiance with Mike.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Mike loses most of his savings bailing Adam out of trouble, but finally realizes that he has to get out of stripping and after quitting he has a good shot at a lasting romantic relationship with Brooke.

** Another one would be to The Players Club. The similarities in storyline, character archetypes, and ending (for the main characters at least) are striking. And it was very much tongue in cheek.
