* CrazyWorkplace: For unusual jobs *and* quirky workers, nothing beats the small band of "grim reapers", people who died but have been drafted to work in the Bureau of External Influences for people scheduled to die (often in freak accidents.) Their meeting place is a diner, their assignments come on Post-It notes, and their supervisor dispenses philosophy along with the black comedy.

* WhatYouAreinTheDark: In ''Life After Death'', Cameron takes over from Rube and tells the reapers they can do what they want, no consequences. Roxy, Mason and Daisy take to this happily. But who doesn't? George. [[spoiler:She still tries to complete her reap on a comatose boy, revealed to be Reggie's secret boyfriend, because she doesn't want his soul trapped in the dying flesh or to rot over time]]. What's more, the [[spoiler:rules bend so that George can stop Reggie from killing herself, and reveals who she is. George also tells Reggie that, while she wants a relationship with her, that she's a reaper and Reggie is better off with the living people who love her, like Joy. Reggie eventually takes this advice to heart and moves away with her mother, as George grieves but knows it was the right thing to do]]. This eventually results in [[spoiler:Cameron getting unceremoniously executed and George promoted to head reaper, because she was the only one who didn't give into temptation]].

* UnderStrangeManagement: In the episode "A Cook", after the regular cook at the reapers' hangout, Der Waffle Haus, dies, Rube, who has a passion for cooking at his home apartment (and, more importantly, reaped the cook's soul), figures he'd try to put in a shift and take over their kitchen. Rube quickly finds out how much more difficult cooking for paying customers can be, compared to what he's used to fixing for himself. On top of that, the cook's soul hangs around. Initially the cook's soul is critical of Rube's failures, but, gradually, he starts to coach Rube in the kitchen and imparts his personal philosophy that the cook shouldn't bow to the demands of the customer. After Rube caught on and stood up to a particularly rude customer, the cook's soul finally passed on to the other side.
