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).

19	* ButtMonkey: Ryan suffers lots and lots of slapstick.

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.
26	* FatBastard: Jasmine thinks Ryan is this but he's closer to BigBeautifulMan, and emphasis is placed on his poor social skills making him unattractive to women.

30	* HateSink: Jasmine is an abusive, controlling harpy who has no sympathetic qualities whatsoever.
31	* HopeSpot: Ryan manages to give Hannah a sincere compliment...and then blows it by rejoicing that [[ItMakesSenseInContext she opened her jacket]].
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..."
39	--> ''[cue NightmareFace]''

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.
