Misfits (TV series)/YMMV

""It's the afterbirth, you dickhead!""
 * Alas Poor Scrappy:
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: "Little Donkey". Lampshaded when they all break off, embarrassed.
 * It seemed like a typical Christmas Episode moment. And even the titular misfits are capable of recognizing a sweet moment and reacting to it.
 * Crosses the Line Twice:


 * And while we're at it, just about everything that comes out of Nathan's mouth besides Carbon Dioxide.
 * Fan Disservice: Nathan and Ruth's sex scene, unless, you know, you're into that kind of thing
 * Then there's Nathan's lotion scene; less Female Gaze and more Selfcestuous Gaze.
 * Same goes for the Pregnant-sex in the christmas episode. Again, with Nathan.
 * Ho Yay: Nathan and Simon. It starts off as Nathan essentially sexually harassing Simon for shock value, but as their friendship develops, Nathan's teasing seems to evolve into genuine affection.
 * And then there's the episode in which Nathan is mind-controlled into falling genuinely in love with Simon, much to the latter's bemusement, since Nathan's attentions go from obnoxious to sweet and gentle.
 * Season 3 brings us Rudy and
 * Jerkass Woobie: Nathan, whose jerkassery is largely balanced out by the fact that the writers simply adore placing him in unpleasant situations (though he often has it coming). Essentially, the universe hates him so we don't have to.
 * Memetic Mutation: SAVE ME BARRY!
 * Replacement Scrappy: Rudy to some fans. Somewhat inevitable given Nathan's popularity.
 * Shoot the Shaggy Dog:
 * Too Dumb to Live: Nathan, in "Vegas, Baby!" is winning, and winning, and winning. The house gets suspicious of his luck, and then goes to arrest him because  Nathan remarks to Marnie as he tries to run from the police that someone should've told him that.
 * Doubles, as most fans are eager to point out.
 * Unintentionally Sympathetic: Many of the villains can be perceived as this, most of them were always down on their luck Butt Monkeys before they got their powers, like the "Milk Guy". He led an incredibly mundane life, then his powers made him famous, then when other people with better powers came along, everyone started to ignore him.
 * Then again, Howard Overman did state in an interview that he tried to avoid creating wholly "good" or "evil" characters, and tried to give all of the antagonists at least some logical motives for the way they behaved. So most of them were probably intended to be somewhat sympathetic.
 * The Woobie: Painfully shy and lonely Simon endured years of bullying prior to the show, and still doesn't get off lightly mostly due to his and Nathan's personality clash.
 * Rudy's
