* AssPull: The reveal in "The Females" that [[spoiler:both the two Lucys announced they were Lucy's are pregnant and didn't tell either Adam or Johnny]]. Beforehand, While there was no indication of any some foreshadowing and to this during dinner for Jonny's Lucy (who wanted to take him away on holiday to deliver this news), Adam's Lucy didn't mention anything of the sort, coming off as a ContrivedCoincidence. Even with the foreshadowing, the reveal altogether felt like it was plonked in the script at the last minute.minute to give everyone a happy ending.

* SeasonalRot: It's rather debatable to consider which series is the weakest:
** Series 3 seems to be considered as a "low point" of the show, and it included the episode "The Girlfriend" which ended up with a ''one star review'' on The Guardian.
** Whilst Series 4 was considered to be an improvement over the aforementioned series, Series 5 seems to be another weak series. This may be because of the DenserAndWackier episodes, annoying one-off characters, the {{Flanderization}} of the characters (particularly Martin, where he acts more of a JerkAss), and the [[spoiler: sudden death of Wilson.]]
