History WebVideo / NothingMuchToDo

* NotSafeForWork: At least for American viewers who might not be used to much casual swearing in their media. There’s a lot of instances of “f*ck” and “sh*t” that would be censored out, or else [[PrecisionFStrike used very sparingly]], on an American show with the same age demographics.

* FullNameUltimatum: "Cora Petunia Anderson!"
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Dogberry and Verges climbing trees and attempting to be stealthy in "A Scandal in Messina."
* GambitRoulette: [[spoiler: John's scheme to discredit Pedro]].

* GoodBadGirl: Meg

* HasTwoMommies: Or “mums”, as it were. Hero and Leo’s parents are a recently married lesbian couple, who have just left on an extended honeymoon at the beginning of the series and are not seen on camera.
* HatesBeingTouched: John Donaldson.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Beatrice/Hero. Benedick/Pedro/Claudio [[spoiler: at least before Benedick breaks friends with them for publically humiliating Hero]].

* HighSchoolAU
* {{Hipster}}: Balthazar.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Benedick and Beatrice UpToEleven. They're both [[{{SnarkToSnarkCombat}} snarky]], dorky know-it-all's who love the sound of their own voices and are [[{{TemptingFate}} violently opposed to relationships]]. [[spoiler: They're also the only two characters who are sensible enough to know Hero would never cheat and that Something Is Up]]. It's possible Ben's [[{{RunningGag}} obsession with birds]] is actually an allusion to the phrase.

* BastardBoyfriend: Robbie to Meg.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Both of the videos filming Hero’s birthday, as well as most of Ursula’s “project” videos, which depart from the usual vlog format where the characters talk directly to the camera and instead are just straight footage of an event, either entirely unedited or heavily edited with overlaying music. There’s also Balthazar’s occasional music video.

* SpotOfTea: Ben is originally from Britain and often teased by his Kiwi friends about the extreme depth of his love for tea.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We don't see Leo after his misogynistic intrusion into Beatrice's video "Idiots" in which he insists Hero deserves the problems she has now for cheating on Claudio and asserts that Claudio is more trustworthy than Hero. Even though such a public betrayal from her own brother would be deeply hurtful to Hero and certainly infuriates Beatrice, we don't see Leo after this and no one speaks about him again for the rest of the series, with the sole exception of Claudio in "BROTHERS" saying Leo threw him off the team and Robbie in "The Three Seniors" when explaining why he was bitter against all of them, Leo included. Even when one of the final videos in the series discusses a dinner the Dukes and Donaldsons had with each other, Ben says that their parents noticed none of the children were talking and specifies that Pedro, John, Claudio, and Robbie have said they're sorry, but leaves Leo completely unmentioned, even though, as Hero's brother, he would have been at the dinner. Leo isn't even seen in "PROJECT V - FOR HERO," when Beatrice invited "anyone that knows her" to come to the park to film positive messages for Hero while she was "in the hospital." While it can be concluded that [[spoiler:he probably was in on the scheme to fake Hero's illness]], his complete absence from the visible story after siding against his own sister leaves everything regarding his character open ended.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We really don't see Leo after his misogynistic intrusion into Beatrice's video "Idiots" in which he insists Hero deserves the problems she has now for cheating on Claudio and insists Claudio is more trusyworthy than Hero. Even though such a public betrayal from her own brother would be deeply hurtful, we don't really see Leo after this and no one speaks about him again for the rest of the series, with the sole except of Robbie in "The Three Seniors" when explaining why he was bitter against all of them, Leo included.

Leo isn't even seen in "PROJECT V - FOR HERO," when Beatrice invited "anyone that knows her" to come to the park to film positive messages for Hero while she was "in the hospital." While it can be concluded that [[spoiler:he probably was in on the scheme to fake Hero's illness]], his dropping out of the visible story after siding with Claudio against his own sister and not being seen or spoken of afterwards leaves everything regarding his character open ended.

* NotSoDifferent: Throughout the series Benedick and Beatrice tend to have similar opinions on things, down to both being fans of Game of Thrones, hating the hill by their school, and thinking that holding hands is stupid.

''Nothing Much to Do'' is a 2014 New Zealand [=YouTube=] webseries based upon Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing by Creator/WilliamShakespeare. It takes the form of a VlogSeries, updating the plot and setting of the original play to modern day New Zealand.

* {{Adorkable}}: Benedick. Beatrice to a lesser extent, especially when she's geeking out about Frankenstein.

* BiTheWay: [[spoiler:Pedro]], who comes out rather casually in the second-to-last episode.

* {{Chessmaster}}: [[spoiler: John Donaldson]].

* DelusionsOfEloquence: Dogberry and Verges. Dogberry leans towards ObfuscatingStupidity, whereas Verges’ speech is peppered with {{malapropisms}}.

* HiddenDepths: Ben is initially presented as the most immature of the boys and scathing about Beatrice, Hero, relationships and girls in general in comparison to Pedro and Claudio's more respectful attitudes. Flip forward to [[spoiler: Hero being framed for cheating, and Pedro and Claudio publicly slut-shame her while Ben remains level-headed, argues Hero is too good a person to ever cheat and openly stands against his best friends to defend her]]. Seriously, [[{{CrowningMomentOfAwesome}} go Ben]].

* [[{{ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe}} I Can't Believe A Girl Like You Would Notice Me]]: More "I can't believe a girl like you would notice me for anything else but insults" with Ben's shock at Bea liking him, thanks to her hostility. However he admits that even at fourteen when they were close friends, he still freaked out about liking her because he "never thought you would like me the way I liked you."

* InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube: A version strictly PlayedForDrama rather than comedy with Episode 52. Ursula uploads the video of [[spoiler:Claudio tearing into Hero at her birthday party]] to her YouTube account. Although Ursula did it in order to give an unedited, unbiased look at what had happened in the hopes that it would dispel some of the rumors going around, Beatrice is furious and fears that having Hero’s moment of pain and humiliation open to thousands of viewers will only make it worse. It doesn’t strictly go viral, but since it is a real video, you yourself can look at the view counter – over 17,000 hits as of the end of the project.

* ABoyAndHisX: Balthazar is almost never seen without a musical instrument of some kind, usually his guitar.

** When Pedro runs for class President, Beatrice encourages the viewers to "[[NapoleonDynamite Vote for Pedro!]]"

** The other instance is in Episode 73, when they’re vlogging together and Bea tells Ben to shut up. He says, “Make me,” and then she kisses him.
* SickeninglySweethearts: The group's (especially Bea and Ben's) opinion of Hero and Claudio (Team Love Gods even uses this to their advantage in the "Makeup Bloopers" video). Meg thinks she and Robbie are this but they're more MakeOutKids.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Both of the videos filming Hero’s birthday, as well as most of Ursula’s “project” videos, which depart from the usual vlog format where the characters talk directly to the camera and instead are just straight footage of an event, either entirely unedited or heavily edited with overlaying music.

* SickeninglySweethearts: The group's (especially Bea and Ben's) opinion of Hero and Claudio (Team Love Gods even uses this to their advantage in the "Makeup Bloopers" video). Meg thinks she and Robbie are this but they're more MakeOutKids.
** Averted with Bea and Ben, whose bickering and debates continue after they get together and use insults as a way of expressing love.
--> '''Ben:''' I have a feeling we can't flirt like normal people. Would that be right?
--> '''Bea:''' Yes, we're far, far too clever.

** Lots of shout-outs to both the original [[Literature/SherlockHolmes]] literature and BBC’s ''{{Series/Sherlock}}'' series in the Dogberry and Verges segments.

** The other instance is in Episode 73, when they’re vlogging together and Bea tells Ben to shut up. He says, “Make me,” and then she kisses him.


* HeManWomanHater: Like in the original play, Ben puts on a pretty good show of this until push comes to shove -- at which point he [[spoiler:turns against his best friends and sides with someone he allegedly hates (Bea) to defend Hero because he ''knows'' she would never cheat]].

* ShoutOut: Claudio has a CelebCrush on Creator/BilliePiper while Benedick prefers CatherineTate. Piper portrayed Hero in a production of Much Ado while Tate played Beatrice.

--> Ben: "Have you met me?! You spend every lunchtime glaring at me! You should know I am ''not'' the person to fall in love with!"

** Averted with Bea and Ben whose bickering and debates continue after they get together and use insults as a way of expressing love.
--> Ben: "I have a feeling we can't flirt like normal people. Would that be right?"
--> Bea: "Yes, we're far, far too clever."
