The truth is, like many good adults, our instructors and actors get stressed sometimes. They're not always ready to take on the day, much less to perform at their best in front of the kids. And no one knows that feeling better than Omota Uramichi, a failed gymnast who at his 31 years of life is on the brink of snapping. He drinks, smokes, and takes his frustrations out on his ever suffering juniors along with balancing his stressful children's television job. Thankfully (for us, not for him), he's not the only one suffering through the motions. There's Tobikichi Usahara and Mitsuo Kumatani, Uramichi's long-suffering former college underclassmen turned suit actors, and Iketeru Daga and Utano Tadano, music industry has-beens eking out a living in the show.

Christmas Cake now redirects to Old Maid.


* DysfunctionJunction: Nobody on ''Together with Maman'', with the exception of [[OnlySaneMan Kumatani]], is a functioning adult. Utano's a washed up singer who's rapidly approaching ChristmasCake mentality, Iketeru is unable to do most actions without prompting, Usahara keeps putting his own foot in his mouth, and Uramichi's an entirely different bag of stress.

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: The female choreographer is constantly sexually harassing Usahara, and is always played for laughs. What makes this even more questionable is that the choreographer is implied to be a transwoman, which perpetuates harmful stereotypes about members of the LGBT community.

* ConsummateProfessional: The "Together With Maman" cast is this. They will put on a fake smile, do inane stunts, and even film in terrible weather as part of their job. Part of this is traditional Japanese work attitude, part of this is desperation as they couldn't get better opportunities.
