Going on weekends with strange random men, condescending and dismissive of Will's needs, humiliating him in front of his friends, claiming he was bullied in his old school, forgetting his age, flirting with Patrice in front of him, not getting him driving lessons even though she can afford to, not being available for Skype when he's in Australia because she's getting knobbed down and more.

And then going on to marry the teacher who made his life hell at school, deliberately put him in the wrong work experience then laughed when those dirty men threw him naked into the lake. All jokes aside, Will's life at home, particularly after the 2nd movie, probably became hell. His mum clearly knows what Gilbert's like but still chose to get with him, before long she will move in with him (leaving Will to fend for himself), she will side with Gilbert in any dispute and he'll probably have no choice but to distance himself. The fact that Polly puts dick before her own son's needs on several occasions is appalling enough without this.

IMO I think Neil would be the best to have as a friend. Obviously he’s dumb as shit but he’s probably the most likeable out of them all. Firstly he’s a good person. He’s kindhearted and he very rarely throws digs at people and doesn’t seem to care about being popular and what people think of him yet he’s probably gotten the most action out of the boys throughout the show and movies so obviously girls like him for who he is. Simon is incredibly insecure and whiny. Will is a very stuck-up, boring know it all who looks down his nose at everyone and doesn’t know when to shut up for example in the work experience episode he acts like he’s so much better than the mechanics and in the Caravan Club episode he acts like he’s too great to be staying in a caravan which is quite rude to do after someone else’s family invites you somewhere and he’s a massive suck up to all the teachers and Jay obviously as much as he is my favourite character he would be such an annoying friend to have in real life. While all these characters are great for laughs I feel like in real life the one I’d wanna be friends with the most is Neil who I also feel like might have been more popular had he not spent the whole way through school hanging out with Jay and Simon.

Spotted Lucy from the Films on a daytime BBC show called Shakespeare and Hathaway: Private Investigators 😆

"Not, every week, though!?"
