* AmnesiacHero: Jack is constantly forgetting things. The most notable one is always hiring Soupy Norman, despite the fact he always turns up drunk and never delivers the goods they have paid for. After Soupy's visits, Jack never thinks about phoning another company either. On other occasions, he's on the phone with Esther and asks her to repeat things several times, and she thinks he's drunk and hangs up.

Provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbortedArc: Esther, who is supposed to be the main character, vanishes after the sixth episode. The only explanation is that she's going home and will arrive the next day, but she's not in the last two episodes which presumably take place the next day and the day after.
* BritishBrevity: Irish not British, but close enough. There are only 8 ten minute episodes plus the twenty minute Christmas Special.
* Catchphrase:
* "Do that thing you do with your eyes"
** "Culchy!"
*** "You're a tool son!/You're a great big disappointment"
**** " I'm [insert adjective here], so I am"
* CloudCuckooLander: Every character, but especially Jack and Daddy who never seem to have a normal conversation. Soupy Norman himself is allegedly quite intelligent when sober...but he never is.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Whenever the voice actors were unable to come up with anything for certain characters to say they'd make them repeat what they just said. Jack was pretty notorious for this, when he's on the phone with Esther he makes her repeat what she said about three times.
* EccentricTownsfolk: Every character, especially the inhabitants of Buttevant.
* FanWank: What exactly happens to Esther after the sixth episode? It's never revealed, so FanWank for this show is high.
* Flashback: Daddy retells a story of how he met Esther's grandmother. This involves adding a sepia tone to footage of Esther and her friend meeting a man.
* GagDub: of Polish Soap Opera, First Love.
* LargeHam: Soupy Norman, who frequently shrieks parts of his lines. An example being "I wouldn't marry her if you paid me in SWAA-HANS!"
* ProductPlacement: "7 Up, it's yummy so it is. I used to drink it by the glass!"
* PutOnABus: Esther goes home during Episode 6 and is never seen again.
