* PaperThinDisguise: Will attempts to buy alcohol from an off-licence by pretending to be an adult, dressed in one of Simon's dad's suits (and a hat, which was his idea). The shop assistant sees right through it, but sells him booze anyway just to get him out of the shop as quickly as possible.

Also, Will hints that Donovan and his mates are gay for playing 'shirts versus skins' football in the park.

* SkippingSchool: As the title suggests, the lads bunk off school. In the end, Mr. Gilbert doesn't care that they skipped school because sixth-formers, at the time, were under no legal obligation to attend school, but Simon and Will end up being sent to the headteacher for Simon's atrocious attempts at impersonating his mother.

Added DiffLines:

The boys take the day off from school and end up getting drunk at Neil's house; Simon makes a drunken call to Carli to profess his love.

!!This episode contains examples of:

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Will drunkenly insults Neil's dad and Simon realises his feelings for Carli and tries to win her over - and ends up vomiting everywhere.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Simon's dad lists all the bad things Will and Simon have done, before Will adds in the one thing he missed:
-->'''Mr Cooper''': You've lied to your mothers, bought alcohol illegally, abused Neil's dad, stole my suit, defaced the pavement outside Carli's. Am I missing anything?
-->'''Will''': We also hit a spastic with a frisbee.
* CoverUpPurchase: Will buys armfulls of crisps from the off-licence and, as an afterthought:
-->And I'll also probably need some...alcohol as well.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', showing how foolhardy it is to skip school with your mates when your parents and teachers aren't complete idiots.
* DisappointedInYou: Understandably, Will's mum, Simon's parents and Neil's dad are disappointed with Will and Simon for skipping school, as well as everything else they did. Simon's mum even says to him earlier that if she finds out he's lying, she won't be angry, but she will be disappointed.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Mark Donovan and his friends chase after Will and Simon under the assumption they were stealing a frisbee from a disabled woman. In reality, Will accidentally threw the frisbee at her and tried to take it back after a failed apology.
* GargleBlaster: Jay mixes Simon up a cocktail consisting of whiskey, vodka and crème-de-menthe into a plastic bottle in order to get Simon drunker before he goes over to Carli's house. He and Will are so royally sloshed by the time they arrive at Carli's that Will ends up explaining about dirty bombs and terrorists to Carli's seven-year-old brother and Simon ends up throwing up over both the kitchen and the seven-year-old brother. The drink is so potent that Carli wonders if she can smell bleach.
* GrandRomanticGesture: Simon sprays "I love Carli D'Amato" on her driveway in spray paint, only to be embarrassed when Carli and her friends turn up. And it goes downhill from there.
* OhCrap:
** Simon, Jay and Neil's reaction when Will's frisbee hits the disabled girl and again when Will drunkenly insults Neil's dad.
** Will and Simon when they see Simon's parents' car and Neil's dad's car outside Will's house and realise that their parents know they skipped school.
* PerfectlyCromulentWord: Will, in the middle of a drunken tirade against Neil's dad, calls him a '''bumder''', later explaining that it's a cross between 'bummer' and 'bender' (both of which are perjorative British slang terms for a homosexual man).
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Jay and Neil scarper when Will's frisbee hits the disabled girl.
