Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* RealityShow: Real Bros is a parody of these kinds of shows UpToEleven, which means nearly every reality show trope applies here too. Which is ironic, because ''Real Bros of Simi Valley'' is ''not'' actually a reality show itself: It's a scripted parody made to look like an 'unscripted' reality show.

* Panacea: CDB is treated as this by the doctor who talks about in a hushed tone like it's a super secret experimentnal treatment. Bryce manages to fully recover after shattering both knees in what would realistically be not just a career-ending, but crippling for life, injury, just by slathering it on his legs for a few weeks. Although time will tell if he actually skates again.

Despite this he admits he failed because Duncan still "turned out pretty sick".
** Wade and Xander's parents. First they kick Xander out just for throwing a low-key 1st birthday party for Hawk, and then later they pretend to have gratuitous sex all hours of the day so Wade will move out as well, just so they don't have to say they want him out.
