* {{Jerkass}}: Troy, Danny's boss. He not only leaves Danny behind in the village and makes Danny sign up the Fisherman's Friends (which he had no real intention of doing) as a mean-spirited prank, but when Danny tries to convince him that the group has talent he refuses to listen. He even tries to sabotage Danny and the Fisherman's Friends attempts to get a record deal elsewhere after Danny quits working for him.

* MisplacedRetribution: The villagers including Jim and Alwyn drive Danny out of the village after discovering that Rowen came to him for advice/help to sell the pub due to his financial troubles. They seem to put all on the blame on him and overlook that it was Rowen who approached Danny and it was his decision to sell the pub, even if Danny got a commission from the buyer.

* MistakenForJunkie: At one point in the sequel, Jim’s mother Maggie, Rowan and Leadville go to speak with Jim, who has stayed over the night with Aubrey. While making scones Aubrey playfully smears one with jam and cream onto Jim’s face, combined with the flour on his jumper, when he answers the door the three think he has been taking drugs.

* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: In the sequel, when the fisherman’s friends are hosting auditions for a tenth member of the band at the church, we get a montage of a series of terrible auditions.
