7
8	This SliceOfLife focuses on a trio of boys in inner city Dublin - Jake (Jordan Lennon), Jimbo (Adam Douglas) and Luke (Liam Gaynor) - who are the titular 'Nutters'. Whatever they do, HilarityEnsues. A recurring character is Jake's cousin from the country Eoin (Greg Young).
9
10	The first short was released in 2017, and a ChristmasSpecial months later. In 2021, the films were taken down from [=YouTube=], although there are plans to remake/update it with better production values.

12	May not be comprehensible to people [[UsefulNotes/IrishAccents outside the British Isles]].

14	----
15	!!Tropes:
16
17	* ThirtySecondBlackout: Subverted in the Christmas Special. The lights stay off after the power goes out.
18	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: The last part of the film is a text exchange between Eoin and Jake.
19	--> '''Eoin:''' Maybe we could do this again next year?
20	--> '''Jake:''' ''([[WhenSheSmiles sincere smile]])'' Sounds good to me.
21	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Male examples. Eoin (blond), Luke (brunet), Jimbo (redhead).
22	* BuffySpeak: Jimbo describes Lauren as "your one with the hair and eyes".
23	%%* TheBully: Jake's nemesis is a bully called Ryan.
24	* CastingGag: Luke is portrayed as a clueless ditz. His actor Liam Gaynor was noted to be one of the most intelligent and insightful members of the cast - even winning arts scholarships.
25	* CastSpeciation: Jimbo appears to be smarter than Luke and less snarky than Jake to differentiate him from his friends.
26	* CatchPhrase: "Ah for fuck's sake".
27	* ChristmasCarolers: The thieves in the Christmas Special are posing as these, complete with a Finglas style rendition of [[Music/GeorgeMichael "Last Christmas"]].
28	%%* ChristmasLightChaos: When Jimbo and Luke are tasked with decorating Jake's house.
29	%%* CloudCuckooLander: Luke appears to exist on a plane that has little in common with reality.
30	* ClusterFBomb: It's set in north Dublin, so lots of "fucks" are dropped.
31	%%* CoolBike: Jake rides one to and from school.
32	%%* CoolShades: Jake dons these for his party.
33	* CountryMouse: Eoin as the country cousin visiting his inner city relatives.
34	%%* DeathGlare: Jake gives them to his friends repeatedly.
35	* TheDitz: Luke's EstablishingCharacterMoment sums it up perfectly. Jake needs a pen, Jimbo says he's not likely to get one and suggests he ask for a pencil. Luke doesn't have one - and reveals at the end he has a collection of pens. He didn't give Jake any because he only asked for a pencil. His suggestions of pen also includes a calculator.
36	* DublinSkanger: Played somewhat lovingly. The kids are mostly normal working-class teenagers, but there are a few gags such as Eoin's suitcase being robbed and the Christmas thieves singing about marijuana.
37	* EnfantTerrible: The second Eoin arrives, a random child runs up and steals his suitcase.
38	* EveryoneHasStandards: The two Christmas robbers sing a dirty version of "Last Christmas". When one lyric is too risque, the other robber tells him he can't sing that.
39	* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
40	** In the beginning when Jake's class is taking the test, one of the boys passes out at his desk.
41	** In the Christmas special, you can see that Luke has his own stocking hung on the stairs.
42	%%* HamAndDeadpanDuo: Eoin is the ham (though more subdued than most examples), Jake is the deadpan.
43	%%* HighSchoolSweethearts: Jake and his crush Lauren.
44	* HilariousOuttakes: At the end of the Christmas Special.
45	* HollywoodToneDeaf: Eoin tries to sing "Deck the Halls" in an annoying off-key voice that prompts Jake to say "that's rotten". Greg Young is actually a very good singer.
46	* IncendiaryExponent: Luke starts a mini fire in the house by dropping a tissue on a lit candle.
47	* ItsACostumePartyISwear: Downplayed. Eoin at first dons an Elvis costume for the party, thinking it's a costume party. He quickly changes after this reaction from Jake.
48	--> "What the fuck is ''that''? That's disgusting! Get that off ya now!"
49	* JerkassHasAPoint: While Ryan punching Jake was a dick move, he ''was'' hit first with a football.
50	* KarmaHoudini: Ryan gets away with robbing the present from Jake's house.
51	* LateForSchool: Jake is introduced only just about making it to school for a test.
52	* LiteralMinded: Jake gives Luke the instructions to put money on the gas and electricity (meaning going to the shop and adding the credit to the respective cards). Luke sticks the currency notes to the metres.
53	* ManHug: When saying goodbye at the end, Eoin tries to go in for a hug but Jake makes him do the man hug instead.
54	* MaybeEverAfter: It's left open whether Lauren and Jake will hit it off after he punches her cousin.
55	* {{Nephewism}}: Eoin is the cousin visiting for the duration of the story.
56	* NewscasterCameo: The boys come across a news reporter and start photobombing him (videobombing?)
57	* NotSoAboveItAll: Jake gets in on the wackiness by dressing his dog up for Christmas.
58	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: According to the credits, Jimbo's full name is James.
59	* PlatonicDeclarationOfLove: Eoin tries to give one to Jake after the latter was humiliated by Ryan ("I just want you to know, we're family and I love you")...and gets [[RealMenHateAffection hit in the face with a pillow]].
60	* PrecociousCrush: Luke is implied to have a crush Jake's mother in the Christmas Special. He says "see you later, Ms Murphy" and gives her a cheeky wink.
61	* PreciousPuppy: Jake has one called Rocco, and in the Christmas Special he dresses him up in a reindeer costume.
62	* RelativeError: It turns out Ryan the bully is the cousin of Jake's crush Lauren.
63	%%* RoommateCom: Some of the humor in the first episode comes from Jake and Eoin having to share a room.
64	%%* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Eoin is the sensitive guy, Jake is the manly man.
65	* ShirtlessScene: Jake gets one after being punched and while he's organising the party. And in the ChristmasSpecial while he's in the shower.
66	* SkewedPriorities: Jimbo is annoyed that his drink gets used to put out a fire.
67	* SliceOfLife: Of inner city Dublin life during a summer break. And during the Christmas holidays.
68	* SurroundedByIdiots: Jake realises this when he leaves the shower to discover his house robbed and the power and heating shut off.
69	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: When Eoin arrives, the camera zooms into Jake's face and he says "ah for ''fuck'''s sake!" Subverted in that Eoin's visit doesn't necessarily suck.
70	* ThoseTwoGuys: Luke and Jimbo are usually seen together. Rarely is one without the other.
71	* TitleDrop: Jake's teacher says "you're a bunch of nutters" as everyone leaves class.
72	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Jake is a Type A, and his ''tsuntsun'' side usually vanishes when talk strays to his crush Lauren.
73	* VisualPun: One of Jake's classmates gives the teacher a roll of toilet paper for being "a shite teacher".
74	* TheVoice: Eoin's father in the Christmas Special is only heard offscreen while Eoin's on Face Time.
75	%%* WackyHomeroom: From what we see of Jake's class - including the teacher - they're all a bit coocoo.
76	* WhatTheHellHero: Jake calls his friends out for leaving him to get punched by Ryan.
77	* WildTeenParty: Downplayed. The party is thrown with Jake's mother's permission and it's only wild when two bullies crash it and start a fight.
78	* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Jake realises Luke has been hoarding pens, after saying he didn't have any pencils.
