* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Considering that Lucy isn't at all like Carli, Jane is not like Chloe, and Lisa doesn't seem to be like Neil's flings, it's noteworthy how Alison is essentially just Charlotte with the AlphaBitch traits (both the [[LovableAlphaBitch good]] and the bad) turned down. They are even somewhat similar in appearance. Though it may be justified in that Will already found his perfect type of woman in Charlotte, and then he naturally falls for Alison who is so similar, while the others lads' matches had formerly been...less than perfect.

Jay pronounces it pussy not pussay


* LameComeback: James responds to Jay claiming to be the Pussay Patrol that the only pussy Jay could get is a cat. When ''even his friends'' stare in awkward silence at that, he repeats it.

Added DiffLines:

* OutOfGenreExperience: The scene of Will and Alison getting naked together is surprisingly intimate and played entirely seriously, the only scene in the entire franchise lacking any kind of comedic element.

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Richard, who is trying to act like a sociable person, but fails miserably due to coming across as an overexcited drug addict. He gets so anxious that his parents have to come to Malia to help calm him down.

* NeverMyFault: Occurs offscreen. According to the Northerner who shares the boys' holiday accommodation, Steve, his wife booked the place but somehow it's Steve's fault.
* NeverTrustATrailer: The international marketing implies a lot more titillating content than actually appears; The American posters show the group on a beach next to implied nude women (see the picture at the top), the French DVD cover has the group staring at a woman wearing a Union Jack bikini and in Germany it was literally re-named 'Sex on the Beach'. The movie (like the series) is much more focussed on gross-out and cringe humour, with the groups attempts at pulling rarely being successful; The only moment of female nudity is darkly lit and features an extremely awkward Will. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking There are also barely any scenes set on the beach]]. Conversely, The UK's poster was simply the group standing outside a night club looking excited.

Added DiffLines:

* OhNoNotAgain: Downplayed; Jay's mother and sister react in this way when they walk in on him masturbating (as they had previously done in the TV series), but they seem more resigned to once again finding him doing this than anything else.

* BrickJoke: Perhaps unsurprisingly, it involves defecation. When the boys arrive at their accommodation, the manager tells them that if they take a dump on the floor, he'll charge them an extra 50 euros. One minute later, he tells one of the other guests that he owes him 50 euros. Later on in the film, Neil does a shit in the bidet. When he realises it's not a toilet, he then tries to clean it up, and gets it on the floor.
