Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the webcomic, he could be rude at times, but generally had good intentions. In the TV series, he comes off as borderline narcissistic, [[NeverMyFault refusing to take the blame for problems he caused]] and expecting to be thanked for making problems worse.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: It's perfectly understandable that Jane would be upset at Charlie for neglecting his schoolwork. What's not fair is that she blamed this solely on his relationship with Nick, and tried to force them not to interact, knowing how much it meant to Charlie.

Added trope to Darcy and Tara's sections

Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Tara and Darcy mention having an inner circle of friends close enough to know that they are dating. The most we see of these friends are obscured extras in Season 1.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While affected by his own insecurity of being left alone, Tao did recognise that hanging around with the rugby lads would lead to Charlie being exposed to the type of homophobia he'd dealt with the previous year.

** [[spoiler:His apology to Charlie at the end of Season 2 includes mentioning that his family would never accept him if he came out as gay. While this is certainly plausible and reflects real life experiences and anxieties of queer youth, the way he presents it is another attempt to excuse his behavior and guilt Charlie into validating him.]]

* ForcedOutOfTheCloset ForcedOutOfTheCloset: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Imogen publicly calls out his creepy obsession with Charlie when she breaks up with him, though she wasn't aware of the reasoning behind it at the time. His continued denial later implies that he's constantly ignoring her in favor of harassing Charlie, and privately clocks that the two had a past relationship]].nobody else caught on.]]



* NeverMyFault: In season 2, he repeatedly blames [[spoiler:Nick for "stealing" Charlie from him and "getting in [Charlie's] head" to make Charlie hate him, and Charlie for not giving him enough time to figure himself out before breaking up with him. All of this ignores that Charlie was trying to break up with Ben over him being a cheater and a negligent asshole ''before'' Nick got involved, and that they both hate Ben because he ''assaulted Charlie'' (which Ben insists was "just a misunderstanding") and has been repeatedly harassing each of them in private]]. [[spoiler:He also blames Nick for Imogen breaking up with him, believing Nick must have told her about Ben's past with Charlie since she called it out at dinner.]]

* StalkerWithACrush: Repeatedly corners and harasses Charlie after they break up, keeping an eye on him even at group events -- [[BlatantLies but insists he's not even interested and only dated Charlie out of pity]]. [[spoiler:In season 2 he admits to Nick he still wants to be with Charlie, and thinks they would be back together already if not for Nick "getting in [Charlie's] head". Charlie finds this delusion ''laughable'' when he hears of it.]]
