  • Heartwarming Moments: After Christopher's freakout in the bear suit has finished and everything is back to normal, Jerwayne high-fives him and says "Bear Man? Badman!", a strong term of respect for a guy he previously was disdainful towards.
  • Ho Yay: Jerwayne and Ashley, so very much. Especially when the two of them are demonstrating sexual encounters. They get rather... physical, in addition to which it could be inferred from some of these demonstrations that they may at some point have taken part in what Barney Stinson called a "devil's three-way" note . They even have an arrangement whereby either of them requires the consent of the other before pretending to be gay, which came about following a previous misunderstanding. This gets brought up when Ashley tries to get out of a relationship with a woman he's come to dislike by claiming that he and Jerwayne are ... you know. The fact that this is his go-to lie when trying to break up with a woman without telling her the truth says a lot.
  • Squick: A fair bit; much of it merely described by characters rather than seen by viewers, but still...
    • Lance's at-work wanking habits; only the shop floor and the break room are off-limits, although he prefers the disabled toilet as there's "more space".
    • Jerwayne dated a girl who insisted that he get the approval of the owl tattoo on her back prior to sex.
      A owl?
    • The more his colleagues hear of Ashley's account of how his girlfriend's dog liked to get involved when they were getting intimate, the worse it sounds.
    • Lance came second in a wet t-shirt contest.
    • Just about anything involved in the guys' plans to supplement their income by becoming male escorts. It seems that most of the potential clientele are actually porkers, not talkers.
    • The prospect of group sex with Wheelchair Dave and his friend is too much for Shelley, let alone Janine.
    • Christopher getting forced to pose naked with a selection of fruit, some of it much closer to his anus than he would like.
    • Lance and Shelley have made a lot of home videos.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Ashley's occasional references to "Cameron's Britain" do somewhat date the show. As does the fact that mobile phone technology has moved on somewhat since the early 2010s.
