'''Groan Ups''', is a play by [[Creator/MischiefComedy Mischief Comedy]], one of only two (the other being Theatre/TheComedyAboutABankRobbery) not to intentionally feature anything going wrong.

The story centres around five students, following them from primary school, to secondary school, and finally school reunion. Unlike most of Mischief's work, it is very deep and introspective (whilst still being a farcical comedy.)

!!Tropes featured in '''Groan Ups''' include:

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Archie reveals that he hid the test papers because he was jealous of [[Katie, because she was dating Spencer, who he was in love with.]]
* BadBadActing: Chemise, the model/actress who Simon hires to pretend to be his girlfriend.
* ChekhovsGun: The "hidden place" where [[spoiler:Archie hides Spencer's test papers]].
* EnfantTerrible: Moon is proud that her au pair considers her one of these.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Archie refuses to kiss Spencer as part of a dare because it would be "gay." [[spoiler:It later turns out that Archie is in love with Spencer.]]
* TheFriendWhoNobodyLikes: Simon, who is thoroughly teased or bullied by the others. Sadly, this results in him developing a serious inferiority complex.
* NiceGuy: Spencer is the most amiable of the characters throughout the play.
* OutOfTheMouthsOfBabes: The opening scene has the children participating in a warm up game about their weekend, which includes them acting out Katie's father having sex with the maid (with them under the misapprehension that they were arguing about where to put the mop.)
* RuleOfThree: Chemise's attempts to stage a dramatic breakup with Simon take place three times, becoming more over the top each time. Additionally, Spencer manages to [[spoiler:kill three hamsters]] by the end of the play.
* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: [[AvertedTrope Seriously averted,]] Simon's being bullied has led to him to being an insecure JerkassWoobie.
* [[spoiler:StraightGay]]: Archie.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Simon ends the play passionately making out with Moon.
