* BlatantLies: After getting his ear piercing seen to, Jay claims to have got off with the St. John's Ambulance volunteer who treated him. He quickly backtracks when Simon points out that said volunteer is a fellow-pupil's nan.



* DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: Jay claims that Alistair was always a dick, but the stint in hospital and reliance on a wheelchair has given Alistair a visibly inflated ego. He's right, as Will soon discovers.
* FanDisservice: Simon models with his left bollock hanging out of his Speedos at full-on eye-level for pretty much the entire audience. Joe Thomas really did get his balls out for that scene, meaning that the audience reactions -- a mixture of surprise, horror and hilarity -- are genuine.

** Mr. Gilbert makes Will manage the donations despite his objections to the entire thing, but only for the express purposes of making sure the money doesn't get stolen again.
** Jay is right that Alistair is an asshole, despite nearly everyone else giving him sympathy due to his disease and wheelchair-bound state. Upon meeting Alistair, Will immediately discovers that Jay is right.

** Jay is right that Alistair is an asshole, despite nearly everyone else giving him sympathy due to his disease and wheelchair-bound state. Will immediately discovers that Jay is right.
** Alistair might be a total bell-end, but he's right that Will is ruining the event for his own reasons, and that he's a total hypocrite for later modelling some clothes himself just to impress Charlotte.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Mr. Gilbert falls victim to this after the fashion show debacle — not that he'll admit it to Will and Simon:
-->'''Mr. Gilbert''': There is nothing funny about testicles, Cooper. As you'll discover tomorrow, in my office.
-->'''Simon''': What?!

* WimpFight: Will (a short nerd) and Alistair (who's in a wheelchair) get in a physical altercation that consists of Alistair trying to run over Will's feet with his chair, while Will tries to strangle/blind Alistair by throwing a tablecloth on his head. It does not make either of them look very good.
