Best friends Conor and Jock do everything together. From various petty crimes to school to their love lives, they're inseparable.Following on from the success of the film of the same name, the series focuses on the two lads during their Junior Cert year, making this a Prequel of sorts. Before the first season's run was even complete, a second season was confirmed.The series airs on RTÉ2 in Ireland and on BBC Three in the UK.

Adam Westing: Robert Sheehan appears as himself shooting a movie, where his Mr. Fanservice qualities are Played for Laughs and he attempts to drum up publicity by joining in a blockade.

comment
Dublin Skanger: Most of the cast are "Norries", the Cork equivalent. Conor and Jock are petty thieves with bikes being their main thing to steal, though they're not above taking scrap metal. Ironically, the only character actually from Dublin averts the trope by virtue of him being the school principal.

Cool, but Inefficient: In series 3, Conor and Jock steal a pair of bikes that look cool, but are described by Jock as "the slowest bikes ever", leading a comically slow bike chase thanks to Segeant Healy's tyres getting burst.

Breaking the Cycle of Bad Parenting: While not perfect (bringing his baby daughter on a heist is the biggest example), Jock is leagues above his own father when it comes to parennting Star. He dotes on her and she's often his motivation, seen in the boxing episode.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Conor and Jock are petty thieves, but they'll often perform acts of extreme kindness, such as attempting to get more money for Mairead or comforting patients stuck in the hospital at Christmas. Billy Murphy develops into one. He might be an Axe-Crazy nutcase, but he eventually helps Mairead by bringing a snow machine to give her a white Christmas.

Broad Strokes: Certain aspects of continuity between the film and the series don't quite line up - the series nominally takes place before the movie, but most of the character interaction is based on things that happened in it, and some events, like Jock moving in with Mairead and Conor, happen slightly differently.

The Psycho Rangers: During the Boxing Episode, nearly all of the main cast has an opposite number rooting for JP. Billy Murphy even helps train Jock because his own rival is on the other side and Barry Walsh has a similarly smarmy opposite number from another school to contend with. Naturally, the fight in the ring spills over into the crowd.

Continuity Nod: A couple of scenes from the movie make it in, as well as allusions to certain events: Billy's Establishing Character Moment where he mugs Conor and Jock creates Fake Billy to get back at him shows up. Conor's father's death is shown again. Conor and Jock dancing at the end of Carey's Lane is recreated at the end of the first episode 1. The lads do work experience at the fishmongers in the English Market, where they were actually employed during the movie. Series 3 establishes them as being employed there on a more regular basis. Mairead taking Jock in from his abusive father, though the circumstances are different.

A Simple Plan
 The Young Offenders / int_b0e81c37
comment
A Simple Plan: Stealing a rare blue fin tuna from a wholesalers seems like an easy score, especially when Jock changes the lock on the freezer so he can open it. From there, it's a variety of disasters, starting with the lads' difficulty getting the tuna into the trolley they've brought and then dealing with patrolling Gardaí, dogs and other gangs while getting it through the city. This leads to them stealing a lifering and attaching it to the tuna to drag it through the river based on a plan they saw in an old movie. When Jock and Conor have a disagreement, the lifering accidentally falls in the river and Jock has to jump in the river to get it out. Upon retrieving the tuna, they find that the tail they tied the line to has broken off, leaving the rest of the fish floating in the river. This all becomes pointless, as it turns out they stole the wrong fish. The TV heist from series 3. Billy has it all planned out where all that the lads have to do is park one van in front of the delivery van and load the tellies into their own van when Billy rings the driver, who's in on the plan. Of course, this ends up coinciding with Jock having to look after his baby, Star. Star ends up needing to be fed and changed and ends up crawling off. However, Billy ends up with the perfect alibi while talking to Segeant Healy, while Conor and Jock load the van, so the heist actually comes off perfectly.

Famed in Story: The notorious bike thieves Fake Billy and Princess (actually Jock and Conor in masks) become well known enough that by series 3, a Dublin based psychologist knows who they are.

Adaptation Name Change

comment
Adaptation Name Change: Jock's last name is changed from Murphy to O'Keefe, presumably because Billy's last name is also Murphy.

Dating What Daddy Hates: Conor and Jock start seeing Siobhan and Linda Walsh, the daughters of their school principal, Barry Walsh. He is clearly uncomfortable at the idea of this and ends up getting into a fight with Conor when the two lads have been invited to the house for a barbecue.

Whole-Plot Reference: The episode where Conor, Jock, and Mairéad buy a chip van with the intention of doing it up is a Cork take on Roddy Doyle's novel The Van with some of the details, such as it initially not having a functional engine, being much the same. Like in The Van, the episode even ends with the destruction of the van.

Bad "Bad Acting"
 The Young Offenders / int_f19e8a55
comment
Bad "Bad Acting": Conor and Jock end up as extras on Robert Sheehan's film because they're the weirdest looking people. They proceed to balls up several takes, frustrating Sheehan to tears. It does sort of work for Sheehan, because his frustration works perfectly for the scene being shot, but the two lads are hilariously clueless.

comment
The Alleged Car: Mairead's battered Opel Corsa. The bodywork is badly aged, the engine sounds clapped out, and internal bits like the rear view mirror are easily broken. The chip van doesn't even run at first and when it does, Conor and Jock have to leave a bribe in the glove box for it to pass its Department Of The Environment test.
