* DisappearedDad: Julien has one, but he recently came back (in search of Julien's money). [[spoiler:Somewhat subverted in that, while Julien comes to accept him as his father if only because his real father's unlikely to ever return in his life, the man turned out to be a reluctant con-man who was unwilling to go through with conning him, giving said money back.]]

* FeelingTheirAge: Bob continuously struggles with this starting the third film, creeping its way into the series. At one point, he even sleeps with a woman both younger and more energetic than him; he struggles so much to keep up with her that he needs to medicate himself halfway through and try to find an excuse to leave before satisfaction.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first film has a very different tone than its sequels and subsequent spin-off television series, including the depiction of characters, especially Méo. Whereas in the second movie and forward, he's both an ally, team member and friend to the Boys, he is the center antagonist to Stan in the first, wanting to take his pub away from him in exchange of not breaking his legs due to the money he owes him from a card game. It veers dangerously close to practically being a completely different character altogether.
Added DiffLines:
** Less notably, Labine in the second film, which opens with his funeral. Apart from Fernand, nobody in the team seems to care, let alone pretend to; Stan openly bemoans the property damage Labine caused when he died over the death itself. Given Labine's lack of presence/character in the first film, probably nobody watching cared either.

Starting out as a feature film (followed by three sequels and currently a spin-off television show), ''Les Boys'' depicts the (mis)adventures of an amateur [[UsefulNotes/IceHockey hockey]] league.
The original movie focused on the players of an amateur hockey team (the titular "Boys"), made up of average Joes, and run by pub owner Stan. Stan's a good guy, with one vice - gambling. After losing a substantial amount ($50,000) to his mobster friend Meo, Stan is desperate, and is considering selling his pub ("Chez Stan"). However, Meo's a (relatively) good guy, and tells Stan that if his Boys can beat Meo's team of thugs, then the debt will be settled. If not, Stan loses the pub. After a series of close calls, Les Boys manage to pull out a win, and Stan keeps the pub.

!!! "Les Tropes":
* BerserkButton: Every so often Popol starts freaking out and screaming that his name is ''Leopold'', damn it!
** Julien and his facial hair. Do ''not'' tease him about it!
* BilingualBonus: Sometimes the Boys will use "joual" (Quebec slang) while speaking to unsuspecting Anglophones (Alex Kovalev, for example), who will later repeat the phrases (to other Francophones) without knowing their true meanings. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity often ensues.]]
* CliffHanger: The end of the first episode of season three was one, with Meo suddenly staggering around, clutching his chest and collapsing on the ice in the middle of a game. [[spoiler:He'd had a heart attack due to his bad eating and smoking habits. He survived and cleaned up his act... somewhat, but suffered from a fear of death for a few episodes until Stan managed to pull him out of it.]]
** There was later a similar incident with [[spoiler: Stan, who collapsed with a heart attack after a fight with Popol. He got better, but had fun taking revenge on Popol (with Meo's help)... Until Popol also had a heart attack!]]
