YMMV / The Nutters

• Adorkable:
  • Eoin makes a few dorky demands but manages to be adorable.
  • There's also Luke and his ditzy yet endearing gag with the pen hoarding.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: Jordan Lennon's shirtlessness attracted plenty of viewers.
• Discredited Meme:
  • Adam Douglas got sick of people constantly quoting the "organise a sesh" line.
  • Similarly for Greg Young, who had people yelling "put down the fucking suitcase" based off one of Eoin's earliest scenes.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Eoin proved to be a big favorite, with the rest of the cast agreeing that Greg Young was the standout performance. He's a One-Scene Wonder in the Christmas Special.
• Fans Prefer the New Her: Eoin's Elvis costume would in fact have been lovely to wear to the party, according to some.
• First Installment Wins: The first film has more views and is considered funnier.
• Funny Moments:
  • During the montage of the exam at the start, one student can be seen falling asleep and falling off the chair in the background.
  • Jake asks Luke for a pencil and is told he doesn't have one. Later he discovers that Luke has an entire collection of pens and didn't offer because Jake had only asked for a pencil. Jordan Lennon's Death Glare is priceless.
  • The famous scene of Eoin arriving...and immediately having his suitcase stolen by a random Enfante Terrible.
  • Jake photobombing the Finglas News reporter.
  • Eoin donning an Elvis costume for the party, getting a priceless reaction from Jake.
  "What the fuck is that! That's disgusting. Get that off you now!"
  • Behind the scenes, the extras for the party scene ended up bringing their own booze and actually drinking between takes - with the result that most of them were completely drunk by the end of the night.
  • Luke strikes again in the Christmas Special. After being asked to put €20 on the gas and electricity meter, he physically tapes the notes to them (when in actuality Jake meant for him to go to the shop and top up the credit).
  • Eoin Facetiming Jake when he's about to take a shower and mistakenly thinking he's completely naked. The fun starts when Eoin's offscreen dad joins in.
  Eoin: Dad, don't come in! Jake's naked on Facetime!
  Eoin's dad: What's going on in there? Jake, put your jocks on!
  • And the completely random wink Luke gives to Mrs Murphy before she leaves. Jimbo then drags him into the room, presumably to prevent things from getting inappropriate.
• Growing the Beard: Jackson Lennon, co-director and DP, later established himself as a filmmaker with Listen and his upcoming Boxed-In - agreed to be of superior quality.
• He Really Can Act: While Jordan Lennon and Greg Young had already been in the industry, the other cast members would earn their acclaim further down the line.
  • Adam Douglas showed off some nice comic timing in Mr Peterson, and then later his dramatic chops in the World War I short Fallen (2021) - playing a shell-shocked soldier trying to hold onto his idealism.
  • Liam Gaynor took a break from acting for a while, but earned lots of praise for his likewise dramatic turn in Family Painting and its sequel/prequel - as a grieving brother afraid to care for his remaining family.
  • Mason Creedy would later best be known for his music, but would show off his acting chops in the video for Jordan Lennon's "Poisoned City" as a young drug dealer. And then later in the short Vultures as a reluctant criminal.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight:
  • Liam Gaynor admitted that, despite having a passion for acting as a child, he lost interest in it and only half-heartedly auditioned for The Nutters. He credits that, and the resulting friendship with Jordan Lennon, for reigniting his passion for filmmaking in general.
  • Mason Creedy likewise describes the majority of the crew as Fire-Forged Friends who became so through the process of making it, and have all gone onto to collaborate many more times.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Mason Creedy playing the victim of a drive-by in the short Poisoned Minds makes it look like Jake got his own back on Ryan in the end. And in Blood on the Bark, Mason again dies while Jordan survives.
  • Jimbo being the smartest one of the group is amusing considering Adam Douglas plays The Ditz in the film Mr Peterson. Greg Young stars in that film too, playing a far less innocent character.
  • Greg Young also gets to be on the other end in the short Widespread - putting on a Dublin Skanger accent and threatening an innocent teenager.
• Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales: The films do play into a few North Dublin stereotypes (robbers everywhere, lots of cursing, people getting into fights) but that just makes it funny for some. A good portion of the comments say something to the effect of "yeah, that happens".
• Moe:
  • Luke would be annoying if he weren't so adorably ditzy.
  • Eoin too, given his innocence to the Wretched Hive he's inhabiting.
  • Jake of all people manages to achieve this with the "Rocco the red-nosed reindeer" bit.
• One-Scene Wonder: Eoin's father, an entirely offscreen character in the Christmas Special, who nonetheless steals the scene with his voice alone.
  "What's going on in there? Jake, put your jocks on!"
• Retroactive Recognition: One of Ryan's friends in the park is played by singer Adam Dunne.
