Together these four mismatched teens get into the everyday problems accompanying all sixth form students, as they try to sway girls into their beds and be recognised as some of the cool kids. Along with a lot more problems not usually encountered by sixth form students. [[Crapsack World|Lots more problems.]]

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Jay's dad is clearly guilty of emotional abuse, constantly berating, deriding and humiliating his son at every chance he gets, just to provide simple conversation.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Part of the reason the show's dialogue is so realistic is because many of the characters - especially the leads - have potty mouths.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: The show is ''riddled'' with it.

* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Donovan over Charlotte. Jay got pretty obsessive and possessive over his girlfriend though he was quite gentle about it.

* [[Cringe Comedy]]: Every episode contains definitive examples, best example is Will's Yoda-inspired "Feisty one you are!", although there are a lot more.

* [[Sadist Show]]: Makes [[The Office]] seem tame by comparison.

* [[Selective Enforcement]]: When Will responds to one of Jay's characteristic tirades of insults and innuendo with a snide remark about his bursting into tears when his girlfriend dumped him, the other three respond with [[Dude, Not Funny|Dude, Not Funny!]]

* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: More accurately, ''he'' is not my '''friend'''.
