* ArcFatigue: Despite being only a few episodes long, a lot of viewers felt that the character's individual arcs were stretched too thinly.
* HarsherInHindsight: "Squashed Nigga" lost all sense of irony when Chris Lilley made the very unwise decision to promote it shortly after an incident where an aboriginal boy was hit by a car.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The finale where it looks as if Nathan's going away party is only going to be attended by his family, then all of his favorite celebrities turn up. The look on Nathan's face is adorable.
** S.mouse's reaction to having finally written a good song. Even his father is happy!
** Tim and his new manager high-fiving, showing that he's finally got a manager who values his opinions.
** The farewell party for Gran in Episode 11.
** Daniel's best man speech at the wedding, where he admits that Steve isn't that bad and he wants his mum to be happy.
* HoYay: Gran and her co-worker "Legs", with whom she lives.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Many consider S'mouse's last song to be this.
* TheScrappy: Many people didn't like S'mouse, some even said he ruined the show.
* TearJerker: The finale, but in a good way.
** When Gran admits that she has Alzheimer's and the entire storyline surrounding it.
** Blake Oakfield tells his friends about a technique he uses to stop himself crying by "blinking 100 times". A few scenes later, we see him sitting in silence after his wife leaves him. The camera stays on him sitting there, just blinking.
** Daniel's speech to his late father's grave.
* TheWoobie: Nathan. Daniel treats him pretty badly.
** Tim Okazaki. Having Jen as your mother would make anyone a woobie.
** Tim's younger sister too. Jen really didn't want a third child, and [[BlackComedy it's hilarious.]]
