Values Dissonance has a 20 year waiting period, this work came out in 2005, so it can't be added back for at least another two years. Fixing indentation.


* CrossesTheLineTwice: ''All the time.''
** One highlight being Mr. Gormsby dressing as a Māori Rangatira, complete with facial tattoos (highly taboo for non-Māori to wear), the boys of [=5F=] wearing blackface, and the lot of them performing a racist song about offensive African American stereotypes rewritten to depict Māori as lazy and wanting only to eat Mahi-mahi. And the performance gets a standing ovation!
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Gormsby's reference for Hohepa: "To whom it may concern. Elvis Hohepa is a reprehensible rapscallion! But a boy worth saving. Mortimer Ellis Gormsby."

* ValuesDissonance: There is no ''way'' this series could be made in the present day. Things that were considered a bit much, but borderline acceptable (the boys performing Stephen Foster songs in blackface, calling a mentally disabled boy the r-word, the casual use of racial and homophobic slurs, Dascent being forced into a relationship he doesn't want with a woman he doesn't like) in the early 2000's would be completely unacceptable in the 2020's, especially since most of it's played for comedy.

** In a cringey kind of way, 5F's attempts to make Ms O'Flaherty feel better after [[spoiler:her abortion.]] Yes, the attempts all backfired horribly, but they tried. They may be a bunch of ratbags, but they're fundamentally good people.
