Dan is a selfish goblin manchild but he's portrayed as an objectively bad person whose life is awful because of it. Chris isn't just a straight man, he's a cowardly dunce whose life is made worse through his association with Dan. Elise isn't Dan's perfect girlfriend, she's Chris's overbearing shrewish girlfriend who hates Dan (while simultaneously being just as bad as him.)
