* FunnyAneurysmMoment: It's a gag that Alan's mother Agnes hasn't left her house in years, and Alan snarkily encourages her to go outside and actually experience the world. One month after the film was completed, the COVID-19 pandemic led to nationwide lockdown and quarantine.

Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Bobby Calloway admitted on the ''Podcast/ActorsLifePodcast'' that he and Adam Douglas didn't know each other before the film, and had only just started talking when Adam was recommended for the part. Through working together on set, they became FireForgedFriends (along with Greg Young, who they both knew separately).

** Deco's apt LogicBomb of why he and Archie couldn't have killed Mr Peterson; they don't even have their drivers' licences and he was run over repeatedly. [[SkewedPriorities He'll rob a dead man's money and house pet, but don't ask him to drive illegally]].

** Likewise behind the scenes, Ronya told Bobby Calloway she was thinking of just redoing the first Archie and Deco scene what with the former's actor being unavailable. He recommended frequent collaborator Thomas Fitzgerald (who'd been rejected in the first round for looking too old, due to the thick beard he was sporting in his headshot) and for Deco, picked Adam Douglas, who he'd literally just been talking to casually for a week.

** On set, DP Eli Cahn gave Greg Young a mock interview asking him how he got into character to play such a {{Jerkass}}. Greg responded with a story about a time his mother fell down the stairs and instead of helping her, he just tickled her face with a feather duster. Eli responded with a FlatWhat, assuming he was serious. Ronya Phoenix then chimed in with something to the effect of "I don't often [[SarcasmBlind pick up sarcasm]], but even I could tell he was joking!"



** Speaking of Greg Young, he and Adam Douglas play extremely contrasting roles from ''WebVideo/TheNutters''; Greg was previously the CountryMouse who was innocent and naive to the world, now playing a hard drinking CassanovaWannabe. Adam meanwhile was the closest thing ''The Nutters'' had to the OnlySaneMan and now plays the {{Adorkable}} DumbBlonde Deco.

* AlternateJokeInterpretation: Is Alan actually adopted or is Agnes just {{Troll}}ing him?
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Deco, despite being OutOfFocus in his second scene. It's widely agreed that Adam Douglas was perfect casting, the character being likable while still being annoyingly hilarious and his PrecociousCrush on Patsy being cute as opposed to creepy.

** Archie is no slouch either, showing Thomas Fitzgerald can be quite funny when he wants to be. He and Deco almost warrant their own spin-off.



** Aunty M's constant trying to make everything all about her. As Bob is exclaiming "shocking", she believes it's over how gorgeous she is in the morning. The best part? "Especially with me rolls, look" was an ad-lib by Miranda Hamilton.

** The entirety of Alan's refusal to listen to his mother's CassandraTruth. The best part is when she starts squealing "Jesus!" at the sounds of the car, and he just snarks...
--> "Jesus would hardly be driving a Mini now. A Honda maybe, at a push."
** Aunty M's constant trying to make everything all about her. As Bob is exclaiming "shocking", she believes it's over how gorgeous she is in the morning. The best part? "Especially with me rolls, look" was an ad-lib by Miranda Hamilton.
** The entire Clyde family's SkewedPriorities when Bonnie and Robbie mention that Mr Peterson accused them of being thieves.
--> '''Bonnie:''' I'm not a thief, daddy.
--> '''Robbie:''' And neither am I.
--> '''Bob:''' I know. My babies aren't thieves.
** Selina pranking Concetta by invoking EekAMouse, right after she brags she has ears like an elephant.

** Deco having ADateWithRosiePalms (although it looks quite PG) right there in the diner...after Patsy is no longer on the TV.
--> '''Deco:''' There she is.
--> '''Archie:''' Where? That's a commercial for chicken dippers!
** Patsy's forecast has her snarking that "the weather's gonna be crap alright...unlike the ''rest'' of the country" through clenched teeth.
** Patsy doesn't even realise the ShipToShipCombat that's happening in her honour - between an incompetent police officer and a teenage thief.
--> '''Deco:''' Yeah, well she's mine, pal. So back off!
--> '''Hope:''' She isn't anybody's son; she's off the telly.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Adam Douglas shows just how far he's come from ''WebVideo/TheNutters''; he displays some killer comic timing, absolutely nailing Deco's ditziness for maximum comedy potential and giving one of the most memorable performances in the movie. Doubly impressive, considering he had to recreate the whole thing through ADR as well.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** Patsy complaining about the upcoming wet weather becomes amusing as of Ireland's 2020 summer, where it would be so hot a hosepipe ban was instigated before June was even over. It was actually relevant for the time it was recorded, as there were three storms in January alone.
** Harley Cubberley was previously in the short ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VylQgOa-xsM Takbir]]'' playing a murder victim getting revived by...Bobby Calloway. Although, there it was a shooting. Greg Young (Alan) produced that film to boot!
** Speaking of Greg Young, he and Adam Douglas play extremely contrasting roles from ''WebVideo/TheNutters''; Greg was previously the CountryMouse who was innocent and naive to the world, now playing a hard drinking CassanovaWannabe. Adam meanwhile was the closest thing ''The Nutters'' had to the OnlySaneMan and now plays the {{Adorkable}} DumbBlonde Deco.
* HoYay: Archie and Officer Prey have a HeldGaze and an AccidentalInnuendo ("I'll have your arse within a minute, boy"). Could count as NoYay as well, considering Archie is supposed to be a teenager.
* NoYay: Bobby Calloway says he felt that Bonnie and Robbie may have had something going on. In addition to them both being murderers (though it's possible Bonnie is the only psycho, and Robbie is just led astray by her) there's the whole BrotherSisterIncest.
* {{Moe}}:
** Melanie Jones, doing her best to help the police...imitating a budgie's chirping. The way she asks if they want to write it down, d'aww.
** Deco becomes this once he starts fantasizing about Patsy.
* OneSceneWonder:
** Rebecca Dunne takes the cake as Patsy Pinkett. Her snarky weather forecast and subsequent meltdown on the air sticks in the memory at once.
** Aunty M is a close second. With her ItsAllAboutMe attitude, MessyHair and HurricaneOfPuns - she's a brilliant hot mess.
* OneTrueThreesome: There's no reason Patsy couldn't have both Officer Hope and Deco to solve everyone's problems (though this would require her to know about both her suitors first).
