* DudeNotFunny: It's a recurring theme that jokes will either offend someone or someone will pretend to take offense at first and then make a joke out of it, such as when Sonia pretends to get offended at Archie's Creator/JimmySavile reference only to then say she's offended by his bad impression. Pete's jokes often land flat and sometimes a little unfairly. His joke about Fig marrying George for money lands flat, but George later makes a joke himself about Fig inheriting his house.

** As a straight example, Archie mentions some bad behavior that the group used to indulge in during their college-aged years, but Pete stuffily replies that he finds those stories immature and inappropriate -- much to Archie's consternation, as Pete used to love their old games most of all, but is now trying to take the moral high ground.



* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** The friends mention that Plank came around with a big wheel of cheese, and later, they comment that Pete probably had strange dreams because he ate too much cheese before giggling meaningfully. [[spoiler:This could be an early attempt to nudge Pete into remembering Plank, who's sitting beside him and joins in on the reference, but Pete doesn't notice.]]
** George jokes that Pete volunteered to make up for his past sins, which gets a bad reaction out of Pete even though George had merely been referring to Pete's wilder younger days. [[spoiler:But Pete really feels guilt over accidentally harassing a girl into suicide and avoiding all blame for it.]]



* HiddenDepths: Archie becomes sincerely upset after his joke for Sonia doesn't hit as strongly as he'd hoped and privately admits his insecurity over his age and lack of direction in life, showing that, like Pete, he has some degree of social anxiety. However, Pete only comforts him for a moment before snagging onto Archie's apparent suspicion of Harry.
* HolierThanThou: Downplayed. Pete isn't overly self-righteous, but he is quick to bring up how he's a better person than others because he volunteered with refugees, and he upsets Archie by claiming that he always found their "wild card" tradition to be cruel, even though Archie knows that Pete loved it and eagerly participated. [[spoiler:And his grandstanding turns out to be entirely irrelevant, as Plank, one such "wild card," had a great time and happily reconnected with the group for Pete's sake, so evidently the group weren't merely bullying their invites.]]



* {{Narcissist}}: [[spoiler: Pete is convinced all of his friends' actions are a concerted attempt to screw with his mind. They're not- he's just too self-centred to see this]].
* TheReveal: Pete's friends keep teasing him about the "surprise" they have in store for him. He keeps assuming that their various pranks are the surprise, but it turns out to be [[spoiler:the Fake Pete who does a roast of him, and the fact that Harry is actually "Plank."]]

* {{Narcissist}}: [[spoiler: Pete is convinced all of his friends' actions are a concerted attempt to screw with his mind. They're not- he's just too self-centred self-centered to see this]].
* TheReveal: NotSoAboveItAll: Pete criticizes his friends to Sonia for being immature, stunted, and mean-spirited, and haughtily declares himself morally above the group's shenanigans. However, he freely brings up the story about Norman (and embellishes it to make Norman look dumber) to earn laughs, only for it to fall flat even before Norman appears. [[spoiler:Not to mention he accidentally drove a girl to suicide, which is far worse than anything the group did.]]
* RedHerring:
** Harry brings a duck to the estate on the first night, then sets it free. The next morning, Pete discovers a decapitated duck right before Pete charges at him with an axe, which furthers his suspicions that he is unstable and dangerous. However, it's never brought up again, and in the end it was probably a different duck that died as a result of some unrelated misadventure.
** [[spoiler:The homeless man and the mud-covered car Pete discovers on the grounds are totally unrelated to anything happening to him.]]

** Pete realizes that someone has been tampering with his medication and assumes it was Harry, attemptin gto drug him. [[spoiler:Archie did, but his intent wasn't malicious.]]
** He also discovers a mysterious girl used as the lockscreen for Harry's phone. [[spoiler:He assumes that she is a younger version of the girl he and his friend harassed into suicide, and Harry is her brother, but a confused Harry reveals that she's actually his daughter.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: In a fit of rage, Pete calls Harry a "pikey," proving that he's not the morally superior, enlightened, mature person of the group compared to the others, no matter his volunteering experience.

* ComedicSociopathy: So, so much. Harry however takes the cake.
* JugglingLoadedGuns: Archie thinks it'd be a jolly good wheeze to put on a balaclava and creep up behind Pete with a shotgun. Pete is naturally freaked out but Archie assures him that it isn't loaded [[spoiler:"Oh, it is loaded actually..."].
* {{Narcissist}}: [[spoiler: Pete is convinced all of his friends' actions are a concerted attempt to screw with his mind. They're not- he's just too self-centred to see this]].
* RightBehindMe: When Pete is pressured to tell a funny story, he describes his encounter with a creepy, scary local man who gave him directions to the party and then freaked him out by telling him he might even come along and join the party himself later. [[spoiler:This man turns out to be the groundskeeper of the house, going to the party because he was due to be working there- and he arrives right in the middle of Pete's story. Needless to say he doesn't find it funny at all]].



* UpperClassWit: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Pete is presented to the gang as the life and soul of every party and the funniest man who ever lived. Under this intense pressure to be entertaining, he only succeeds in disappointing them all.

''All My Friends Hate Me'' is a 2021 DarkComedy and PsychologicalHorror written by Tom Stourton and Tom Palmer and directed by [[Series/StathLetsFlats Andrew Gaynord]]. Stourton stars as Pete, whose university friends have organised a reunion for his 31st birthday. He experiences some bad omens as he struggles to find the palatial country house where the festivities are to be hosted, and his weekend goes from bad to worse, as he becomes intensely paranoid that his so-called friends are playing a cruel practical joke on him and that... well, [[WhatItSaysOnTheTin they all hate him]].
