11 | !!Tropes: |
12 | |
13 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Lazzy gets hit on by two scarily horny women in Episode 5. |
14 | -->''[Woman grabs his arm]''\ |
15 | '''Lazzy:''' That's a strong grip you've got there.\ |
16 | '''Woman:''' Imagine it round your cock. |
17 | * BettyAndVeronica: Notably in Episode 5 with Catrina in a classy dress with modest make-up (Betty) and Jasmine in a very skimpy dress with lots of make-up (Veronica). |

22 | --> "You're so beautiful it makes me want to shit out." |
23 | * DiggingYourselfDeeper: Ryan in Episode 4 when he tries to claim he wasn't leering at Hannah's boobs - comparing them to when one sees a naked old man in the locker room and the eyes are instinctively drawn to the sight. |
24 | * DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Played with. Jasmine is verbally and physically abusive to Ryan and, while played for comedy, she is shown to be an awful person because of her abuse. |
25 | * FacePalm: Lazzy in Episode 2 when Ryan tries to flirt with women. |

32 | * TheMakeover: Subverted in Episode 3, as Ryan and Lazzy get kicked out after offending the hairdresser. |
33 | * MaleGaze: In Episode 3, Ryan gets turned on by a woman working out in the park. Attention is drawn to her cleavage. |
34 | * MomentKiller: Ryan kills a tender moment between himself and Catrina by remarking that their hands look like "hand puppets having an orgy". Luckily Catrina finds it ActuallyPrettyFunny. |
35 | * MyEyesAreUpHere: |
36 | ** Hannah who Ryan tries to hit on in Episode 4 pulls this on him. Poor girl ends up a victim of this in Episode 5 during the speed dating. |
37 | ** Lazzy pulls this on one of the speed daters, prompting her to say. |
38 | --> "Eyes that are going to be doing ''this'' later..." |

52 | --> "Like a British bulldog shit on your chest." |
53 | * UnexplainedAccent: Ryan's best friend Lazzy is from Manchester, in contrast to the Liverpudlian cast. As they're only a half-hour train journey away, it's justified. |
54 | * WorkoutFanservice: The woman working out in the park in Episode 3 provides some sweaty, slightly revealing fanservice. |
