''The Gumdrops'' is a 2019 Irish comedy webseries, produced by ''No [=WiFi=]''.
It is a SliceOfLife revolving around a quartet of college roommates who get up to all sorts of mischief. Characters include:
* '''Laura''' - the ringleader, GenkiGirl extraordinaire and usually the first one to jump into the hijinx.
* '''Roisin''' - the DeadpanSnarker who will mock whatever the other girls do, before happily joining in.
* '''Lindsay''' - the OnlySaneMan of the group, but expect her to get sucked into the madness.
* '''Sadia''' - a wild, fun-loving {{Troll}} who may or may not be the puppetmaster.
Other characters include Laura's boyfriend Robbie - who likes to think he's the OnlySaneMan (he isn't), Lindsay's boyfriend Pete (who actually is) and their long-suffering landlady Nora.
!!"Miss Lucy would approve of these tropes"
* AbsenteeActor: Lots of characters will miss episodes. The first episode "Miss Lucy" is one of the only ones where all seven cast members are together.
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Implied in "Party Animals", if the state of the kitchen the next morning is any indicator.
* AluminumChristmasTrees:
** The old law Robbie talks about in the first episode is a subversion - where five unrelated women living in a house together legally makes it a whorehouse - that didn't exist but was a popular urban myth for years.
** The eponymous "Whipping Day" is an actual slavic tradition where women are whipped on Easter Monday in the hopes of remaining beautiful and healthy for the upcoming year.
* AudienceSurrogate: Pete in the first episode - as an outsider getting introduced to the madness for the first time.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead:
** Roisin (blonde), Laura and Lindsay (brunette) and Nora (redhead). Sadia is black-haired, adding the fourth colour.
** "Party Animals" has the straightest combination, where Nora and Roisin feature, joined by Roisin's brunet cousin Marty.
* BottleEpisode: "Skivvy" is just a minute long, features only two characters and has a simple plot. It was even shot in the space of an hour.
* BrickJoke: "Miss Lucy" opens with Laura burning toast and getting mocked for it by Roisin. After Nora's lecture later in the episode, she adds "keep Laura away from the toaster".
* BuffySpeak: Robbie decides that 'taco-fest' is the DistaffCounterpart of a 'sausage fest'.
* TheChewToy: Laura is often on the receiving end of slapstick or bad luck.
* DeadpanSnarker: Both Roisin and Robbie have their moments. Lindsay sometimes too.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Laura burning toast and getting sidetracked talking about Murphy's Law.
** Roisin making a snarky statement about Laura's cooking.
** Sadia trolling Pete by pretending she doesn't speak English.
** Lindsay trying to keep everyone under control.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Lindsay is introduced wearing a sparkly patterned dress.
* EyeTake: Pete when he finds out who/what Miss Lucy is.
* FieryRedhead: Nora is the only redhead in the cast and is definitely spirited.
* FriendsRentControl: WordOfGod is that the house they use to film is far too nice for students to afford, so they've avoided showing the whole layout of it and confined action to the relatively small kitchen. Additionally the location is left vague - if it's a town with a lot of colleges, rent prices in nice houses would be more affordable.
* FourGirlEnsemble: We have sweet but naive Laura, snarky Roisin, sexy and wild Sadia and responsible Lindsay.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: If you look at the chores chart in "Skivvy", you can see that Laura and Lindsay have three chores each to do. Roisin and Sadia meanwhile ''just'' have to do the dishes.
* GeniusDitz: Laura actually gets very high marks, and is revealed to be studying Biology.
* HamAndDeadpanDuo:
** Whenever Sadia and Roisin are put together - Sadia's enthusiasm and Roisin's snark filling the requirements.
** Roisin also fills this role with her cousin Marty in "Party Animals".
** To a lesser extent Laura and Lindsay.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Each of the girls could qualify, since they're college students.
* HowWeGotHere: "GBH" opens with the aftermath of Robbie getting injured somehow - and then shows how it happened.
* LethalChef: Defied by Laura, who claims to have cooked "quality meals" right after she's burnt the toast.
* LittleMissSnarker: Darcy Lou the attempted thief is quite the snarker.
* ManChild: Robbie has some elements of this. And it has to be said, so does Laura.
* {{Meganekko}}: Lindsay's glasses help her image as TheCutie.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Nora to Roisin's cousin Marty - "Let me guess - I don't look a day over twenty-five?"
* NeverMyFault: Sadia when she's called on not doing the shopping in "Nice to be Nice".
* NoodleIncident:
** Involving Sadia waking up on a ferry to Wales.
** Another one involving Roisin and some alligators.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Frequently with Nora, who subverts ReasonableAuthorityFigure at most turns.
* TheOneGuy: Robbie and Pete are the only males versus five females in the principal cast.
* RotatingProtagonist: Although Laura is promoted as the lead, the rest will take the lead in other episodes.
* RunningGag: The eponymous "Miss Lucy" is constantly referenced, with no confirmation on who or what she is.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Both Robbie and Pete are there as the love interests of Laura and Lindsay respectively. They only appear in an episode featuring their other half.
* SchoolgirlSeries: Well college girl series.
* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: Robbie and Laura discussing Murphy's Law in "Miss Lucy".
* SpicyLatina: Sadia is wild and exciting. She is however more of a troll and prankster as opposed to sexual or aggressive.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "Miss Lucy" when Nora notices Robbie there, he insists he'll be sleeping on the couch.
* TeasingFromBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Sadia pretends she doesn't speak English when she first meets Pete.
* {{Tsundere}}: Laura is a Type B. Mostly sweet but does have an explosive side.
* TheUnreveal: We never do find out who or what Miss Lucy is.
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The college the characters attend is left vague, as is the town they live in. It's definitely in a more rural area outside of Dublin. The landlady is from Belfast, although she references euros in one episode (confirming it's not in Northern Ireland).
* WildTeenParty: "Party Animals" shows the destructive aftermath of a session caused by apparently two people.
