Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })En daarmee basta! is a Flemish youth sitcom that ran from 2005 until 2008 and a Spiritual Successor of W817. The series centers around Joost Vandenbroeck, a fourth-wall-breaking teenager who sees his life turned upside down, when his father, Bert, returns home from a ski trip with a new girlfriend, Patsy, and her teenage daughter, Isa.Joost, an energetic (yet unremarkable) 16-year-old, lives in a quiet, little town together with his bumbling father Bert and his lazy (and boorish) older brother Ruben. When Bert leaves with his school class on their yearly ski trip, Joost invites his best friends Stijn (a supernerd) and Kathy (a tomboyish hockey fanatic) over for the week, with the begrudging consent of Ruben, who they call "de Pinda".note "the Peanut" Their week-long party ends early, when Bert returns home with his new girlfriend Patsy, a neurotic go-getter, who works as a show host for a local TV network, and her snooty City Mouse daughter, Isa. This turns out to be the first of many changes in Joost's life, as Patsy and Isa move in shortly after (with Isa claiming Joost's room to boot, forcing him to share a room with Ruben). As the series progresses, both Joost and his family members discover that forming a blended family isn't as easy as moving some boxes. Most of the early episode, therefore, focus on the struggles of living together with new relatives, as well as on the integration of Patsy and Isa into small-town life (which is particularly difficult for Isa). Joost, furthermore, develops a crush on his new stepsister, which is eventually reciprocated (after a long period of warming up to him).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Later seasons see Patsy and Isa move to the Netherlands, after Patsy gets an amazing job offer from a (larger) Dutch network. However, her new job (and her new boss) turn out to be a bit too demanding (and sexually perverted, in the case of her boss), causing them to return to Belgium. Isa, however, started dating another guy in the Netherlands, much to Joost's anger, and the two split up shortly after. Kathy is also revealed to be a bisexual and eventually gets into a relationship with Laura, a tomboyish mechanic. When Kathy subsequently leaves the gang to follow a hockey training camp in Canada, Laura becomes her substitute in the group. In the meantime, Ruben gets a girlfriend and tries to move out of the house, only to end up in the garden shed instead. He eventually gets together with Laura, who falls for his charms, despite being introduced as Kathy's girlfriend. The final episodes of the series revolve around the wedding of Bert and Patsy, who want to formalize their union, after all they've been through. Joost, furthermore, reveals the existence of the fourth wall to the rest of the cast in the series' final, which properly ends the show.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The series shared several traits with its predecessor, W817, including some of the character archetypes. However, whereas W817 took quite a bit of inspiration from Friends, En daarmee basta! showed more of a resemblance to That '70s Show (without the references to drug use, obviously). While the series was quite succesful in its own right, spanning 105 episodes over the course of four seasons, it never reached the popularity W817 had gained. It was succeeded by Click-ID. The series can still be watched online, on the Youtube channel of Ketnet.

Perp Sweating: Ruben does this to Bert, after Patsy's dayplanner and phone go missing, as he thinks Bert would have the most to gain from preventing Pasty to return to her former job as a TV-show host. He even paints a picture of the future (via Imagine Spot), where Patsy becomes a couch potato, Isa gets involved with bikers and Joost starts a homosexual relationship with Stijn (with both of them depicted as Camp Gay). This is more than plenty to scare Bert into convincing Patsy to return to her former job.

Embarrassing Nickname: Joost and Ruben have given eachother these, as a symbol of spite. Joost (and his friends) call Ruben "de Pinda",note "the Peanut" because of his peanut sized brain. Ruben, in turn, calls Joost "Larve"note "Larva", as he sees him as a miserable little worm. They eventually decide to drop the nicknames, when they bury the hatched in one of the episodes.

Agony of the Feet: One season two episode has Ruben painfully injure one of his big toes to the point that his toe nail has to be pulled to prevent further infection. As this is a sitcom, it's more played for comedy than anything else, but it still looked pretty gnarly. The toe eventually does get better in the end.

Fence Painting: In the pilot episode, Ruben cons Joost and his friends into cleaning the whole house by "taking charge". When they confront him about it, he merely states that delegating is hard work. Heidi, the new cleaning lady, does this Ruben and Joost, first through seduction and subsequently through blackmail. When she's found out by Bert, he commends her for getting the boys to clean up after themselves.

Love Dodecahedron: Where to start with this one: Joost initially has a crush on Kathy, but eventually switches to Isa, who reciprocates it. Kathy starts off with a crush on Joost, which eventually fizzles out, and finally ends up with Laura. Stijn has a crush on Kathy, which falls flat for obvious reasons, while Ruben initially has a crush on Patsy, his father's new girlfriend, before getting into a relationship with Laura. Between the cast, there are few characters who haven't shared a romantic partner at one point.

I Never Said It Was Poison: In the episode where Patsy returns from Japan, she meets Heidi, the new cleaner, and sets up several tests in order to determine if she's up to snuff. One of these tests was the money test, where Patsy dispersed cash around the house to see if Heidi would steal it. The money disappears and Heidi is, obviously, the first to get accused (and fired), until Ruben gives himself away through this trope.

Bested at Bowling: Joost and his friends get bested at bowling by Ruben and his team of "High Rollers", who are surprisingly good at it. This is particularly scathing for Joost, who considered Ruben and his friends losers for forming a bowling team with (campy) matching outfits.

Every Japanese Sword Is a Katana: Played straight and then subverted in the episode where Patsy returns on Japan. During that episode, Patsy gives Ruben a Japanese sword, which he mistakes for a katana. Later on in the episode, Bert sets the record straight and identifies it as a Wakizashi.

Facial Scruff: Bert suffers from this, after Patsy leaves for Japan. It even gets so bad that Joost and Ruben (jokingly) mistake him for a hobo. It gets better when he has to shave his beard, after gum gets stuck in it, and ends up with a manly mustache instead.

Manly Facial Hair: In one episode, Bert grows a scruffy beard, which he begrudgingly trades in for a Porn Stache after getting gum in it. Ironically, the porn stache is seen as the prime example of this trope by most women and not the scruffy beard.
