* MoralEventHorizon: One of the biggest debates about the series is whether Tony crossed it by [[spoiler:giving Julian the money to buy enough drugs for a fatal overdose, knowing full well what Julian planned to do. For some, it can be considered an act of mercy, since Julian outright stated that he had nothing left to live for since the death of his girlfriend, and felt like he deserved nothing less than suicide. However, others have pointed to the fact that ''the show's entire message'' seems to be that life is worth living, and Tony just deciding to assist Julian in his suicide was more of a selfish act than anything, as Tony was shown ultimately incapable of the act himself, and almost seemed like he just wanted to give Julian an out because he couldn't do it himself. Considering Tony's growth over the course of the series, however, it can be argued that his decision was borne from Tony's low-point, life-is-meaningless mentality at the time, and the Tony of Season 2 definitely wouldn't have given Julian the money.]]

** Brian is a racist, sexist weirdo. He's also not coping with the fact that his ex-wife cheated on him. In the final episode he brings up a full list of degrading situations he's lived through, including giving a blowjob. Having two boorish arseholes humiliate him further in front of the entire town was considered his absolute lowest point.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: "Postman" Pat is very intrusive in Tony's life with not much in the way of a FreudianExcuse like the other characters. When he starts dating Daphne the sex worker, he develops an insecurity about her job. In a misguided attempt to appear masculine, Pat demands Daphne choose either him or her job. Having to sacrifice a career to appease a demanding partner is a common element in many domestic abuse anecdotes, [[spoiler: so it's little wonder Daphne picked her job over him]].

** Tony all the way. His bitter rants against anyone who annoys him in the slightest is a rather flimsy coping mechanism at having to live in a world without the love of his life. It's acknowledged in-universe by pretty much all of the supporting cast, who take Tony's abuse because they genuinely don't want him to give up on life.

However, many viewers were blown away by the sheer amount of genuine pathos that Gervais brings to Tony, a character who can make the audience laugh in one moment, and then damn near bawl their eyes out the next. His performance in the Season 2 finale, especially, hit hard with many.
