Why Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps might be annoying:

    The series is attacked for promoting drinking and irresponsibility.
    The theme song does not contain the name of the series 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps' instead it says 'I'll have pint of lager... please! ...and a pack of flakeys!'
    However the title is from the real song 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please' by Splodgenessabounds (1980).
    The title is so long that many refer to it as 'Two Pints of Lager' and even just 'Two Pints.'
    Sheridan Smith was originally rejected for the part of Janet.
    The jokes are crude sexual humor.
    A poll was conducted which decided not to kill off Jonny during the hiatus after the fourth series.
    They did kill him off (off screen) in the seventh season opener.
    It is hard to understand the character of Louise, the others do not seem to like her yet she is always with them.

Why Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps might not be annoying:

    Susan Nickson began creating the series at age 18.
    Natalie Casey and Will Mellor previously acted as a couple on 'Hollyoaks.'
    Each episode ends with a mini cliffhanger.
    The BBC likes to rerun the series often.
    Like 'Will and Grace' they aired an episode live and with a studio audience.
    To enhance that live seventh season opener, it had the performers doing tricks and tongue twisters.
