Describe ''[[Gavin and Stacey]]'' here.
It's well lush!
Line 18:
* [[British Accents]]: Ah, the inherent comedy of the Welsh accent...
* [[The Cameo]]: Former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott (who Nessa has claimed to have slept with) appeared at Nessa and Dave's wedding.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** "O!, what's occurrin'?"; "Truth be told..."
** "I won't lie to you."
** "Lush!"
** "Oh my Christ!"
** "GAVLAR!"
Line 30:
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: "Little Baby Neil, the baby..."
* [[Dirty Old Woman]]: Doris.
* [[Drama Bomb]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] thusly: "It's like living in [[
* [[The Ghost]]: Smithy's girlfriend Lucy.
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: "There's no way you're getting me out in Cardiff tonight!" "I never thought you'd get me out in Cardiff tonight!"
Line 36:
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Gavin and Smithy. Smithy is the neediest of the two, to the point where Gavin's moving away to Cardiff is treated like a custody battle.
* [[I Object]]: No less than quadruple-subverted in the third season finale.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Smithy. While he's an over-emotional and somewhat irritating fellow, you know his heart's in the right place most of the time and he just has trouble expressing himself.
** Nessa to a lesser extent. Her behaviour fluctuates between being a good friend and being a cheapskate who has no problem using scams to gain money.
* [[The Ladette]]: Rudi, Smithy's sister, who wears [http://www.heelys.com/Pages/Welcome.aspx Heelys].
* [[Law of Inverse Fertility]]: Played both ways. When Stacey fails to get pregnant, Gavin is told that due to his low sperm count, it's going to be very hard for him and Stacey to conceive naturally. Of course, Stacey ends up pregnant when they're not even trying.
** Also, Nessa gets pregnant from a one night stand.
* [[Long-Distance Relationship]]: By UK standards, at least..
Line 49:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Both Smithy and his little sister Rudi are known as ''Smithy'', which can get confusing.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Gavin, and possibly Mick.
* [[Punny Name]]: Owain Hughes. Partially subverted in that the joke isn't immediately obvious to the English characters, yet several Welsh characters find it funny, as he replies 'No, I do not.'
** The joke is ([[Word of God|supposedly]]) that Owain sounds a bit like 'owing', as in owing money to someone. Arguably a lot funnier as an [[Orphaned Punchline]]...
** An alternative explanation is that 'hughing' is British slang for vomiting.
