History Series / TheComeback

* {{Rage Breaking Point}}: Valerie experiences one each season, the first in the form of a punch to the gut after Paulie G. mocks her back brace; the second occurs after Valerie is fed up with the mistreatment she experiences on the desert-set of "Seeing Red," taking out her misplaced anger out on Ron and Shayna.

* ManipulativeEditing: The show's final episode had Valerie throw a viewing party for the premiere of her reality show. She's heartbroken when she realizes that the show was heavily edited to humiliate her, her friends, and coworkers. What's worse is that the show made her cruel tormentor, producer Pauly G, look like the victim in their ongoing feud.

* {{Determinator}}: No matter how much humiliation she is put through, Valerie is surprisingly resilient and determined to achieve her comeback at seemingly any cost.

* {{Uncanceled}}: After the show achieved cult status, HBO ordered six new episodes set to air in late 2014...nine years after the show was cancelled!

A 2005 Creator/{{HBO}} comedy from Lisa Kudrow and SexAndTheCity producer Michael Patrick King.

* VomitIndiscretionShot: A spectacular double-headed example: sick of Paulie G.'s bullying, Valerie finally loses it and punches him in the stomach just after he's had lunch. [[spoiler: Unfortunately he sets her off too.]]

* HeyItsThatGuy: Malin Akerman and Kellan Lutz played Valerie's sitcom costars before landing roles in ''Watchmen'' and ''Twilight''.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Valerie. Quite possibly the show's downfall. Despite being depicted as a clueless neurotic who annoys the crews of both shows, many felt that Valerie didn't deserve the humiliation she was subjected to throughout the series.
