"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Bob Zimmermann is a hockey legend. His son is a perfectionist with severe anxiety. A lot of Jack's earlier scenes, mostly spread out through season 1, involve his struggles to impress his dad. Jack gets extremely upset after Bitty scores in an important game and overshadows him in front of his father. It nearly ruins their relationship altogether. Luckily, he gets over it and they become good friends. It's worth noting that this is Jack's view of their relationship—Bob is actually shown to be quite supportive of Jack, even though he doesn't always say the right thing. | |

Hypocritical Heartwarming | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_18f2b2b | comment |
Hypocritical Heartwarming: Jack is hard on the team as a Drill Sergeant Nasty, and insists on training Bitty to help him with checking blocks. He wants them to meet his standards. Then Kent Parsons during their argument makes the mistake of calling the team shitty and amateurish. Jack as the team captain bristle and tells Kent to Get Out!. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Johnson the Metaphysical Goalie does this constantly, and the other characters get in on it occasionally too, though very rarely since they usually aren't aware of the fourth wall. A perfect example is here when Bitty breaks the fourth wall to explain checking and how it relates to what is happening to him at that moment. | |

Childhood Friends | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_1fe9e22 | comment |
Kent Parson is shaping out to be this. He's Jack's former friend and apparent rival for the #1 draft in the 2009 NHL Draft. After being drafted 1st overall by the Las Vegas Aces in 2009 after Jack's overdose, Kent goes on to win the Stanley Cup for the Aces and the Calder Memorial Trophy, which is which is awarded to the player deemed most sufficient in their first year of competition in the NHL. To quote the comic “he’s probably tied for first when it comes to the best living hockey player right now - PROBABLY tied.” | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Jack is from Montreal and speaks fluent French at home. If you translate the phone call he has with his dad it reveals a lot about their relationship and a partial source of Jack's anxiety. On the fluffy side, Jack tells Bitty in French that he won't get out of revising his French flashcards even if he made French cuisine. In 3.8, Tater calls Parse a "fucking asshole" in Russian. | |

Secret Relationship | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_2bf993ad | comment |
Secret Relationship: Bitty and Jack. As of 3.1, they haven't told anyone they started dating after Jack graduated (except maybe Bad Bob, who doesn't need to be told). Justified due to the heteronormativity of sports, including hockey, and how much it must add to Jack's anxiety, not knowing how the league, media, and fans may react if he ever comes out. Deconstructed, particularly on 3.9, as Bitty shows that hiding this from his friends has taken a toll on him, leaving him tired and miserable over how much he has to lie to everybody, even more considering that since nobody knows about their relationship, Bitty often hears thing that only worsen the situation. This eventually ends as they come out to the Team, Jack's parents and some of Jack's new teammates in the following updates. Kent Parson and Jack Zimmermann were this. No longer true as of the end of Year 3. Jack and Bitty kiss on the ice after the Falconers win the Stanley Cup, so the entire world knows now. | |

Shipper on Deck | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_31da1e24 | comment |
Shipper on Deck: There's only a minority of characters in the comic who aren't shipping Bitty/Jack at this point. The SMH all knew about their relationship and are very happy about it, not only because they see how happy they are with each other, but, as Shitty is particularly willing to lampshade, being with Bitty has been good for Jack, who is basically a new person after being with him. Bad Bob and Alicia are very happy with his son relationship, a comic note will show that Alicia is so happy she can't stop talking about it with Bob on how glad she is her son is in a happy committed relationship, and also the Falconers are all very supportive of their relationship, particularly Georgia, who states that she will help Jack's coming out as much as she can. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Bitty is scared of being checked; during the playoffs, his teammates give him a pep talk. They say that he has been working hard at his phobia and believe in him. Bitty gains a determined look...and proceeds to get a bad hip check that leaves him with a concussion, and in danger of being kicked off the team next year owing to his phobia surging. Jack has to wake him up for early-morning training to make sure he can stay. | |

Broken Ace | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_48ca7c29 | comment |
Broken Ace: Jack. His anxiety and reliance on medication led to an overdose and him missing the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He then went back to school at a small college in Massachusetts (read: Samwell) where he sought to redeem himself and win back his father's love, which he (wrongly) believes he lost when he got cut. It doesn't help how it's implied that he gets frequently criticized on his mistakes and choices by the media, even after (especially after) he makes an amazing play. Made even all the worse when you read his backstory comic and learn all about the shit he fought through trying to fix himself, and which also implies that Bitty might help him figure all of that out. | |

Book Ends: Jack's first and last appearance during Bitty's freshman year both end with the line "Eat more protein." Sophomore year is bookended with Bitty singing "Halo", before Jack interupts him calling Eric "Bitty". Junior Year is bookended with Bitty kissing Jack in his Falconers uniform. It starts with Bitty kissing the figurine of Jack as a Falconer and ends with Bitty and Jack kissing on the ice after the Falconers win the Stanley Cup. Senior year opens up with a quick peek of the moment Bitty quit football, which also lead to his fear of checking. This flashback shown in full clarity during Bitty's final hockey game, where he finally gets over his fear and checks someone. And for the entire comic in general, the story opens and ends with Bitty making a vlog greeting his viewers with "Hello, internet land!" | |

Implied Love Interest | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_5fc3ab7f | comment |
Implied Love Interest: During the first two years, Shitty and Lardo are extremely close and the comic occasionally implies that they have feelings for each other, but what we actually see of their relationship is fairly ambiguous. Years 3 and 4 more or less confirm that they're dating, but do so through Meaningful Background Events and innuendo rather than onscreen development. | |

Full-Name Ultimatum: Played for laughs with Bitty and Jack; when Jack refers to the song "Halo" as a Justin Bieber song because of his Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure, Bitty apparently splashes him with water and yells "Jack Laurent Zimmerman, do not blaspheme!" Again, Bitty uses this against Nursey. ("Derek. Malik. Nurse! I did not just see you spit on this locker room floor!") Used jokingly by Mama Bittle in one of the Extras when she asks Bitty "who's got [his] phone making that racket." | |

Coming-Out Story | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_6f19054d | comment |
Coming-Out Story: 1.13-14 aka, The Closet Story, for Bitty. It's honestly the first time he's explicitly said, even to himself, that he's gay. Shitty takes this in stride and replies with how five people came out to him in his sophomore year. Guess Bits was right about the Samwell reputation. Shitty says five people came out to him in one week during sophomore year. The end of year 3 and the beginning of year 4 is one for both Jack and Bitty, as they kiss on national television. Jack becomes the first openly gay male athlete on an active roster in major North American professional sports, and Bitty's parents find out as well. | |

Married to the Job: Jack. A tweet from Bitty's twitter account pretty well sums it up; "If Jack could give a Valentine's Day card to the 24 years he's spent playing hockey, I'm sure he would." Jack wakes Bitty up for extra practice before sunrise, attends training camps when he's not playing hockey at school, and nags the rest of the team about their dietary choices. | |

Bitty is forced to admit that being raised Southern, he wasn't sure how they would respond. Both his mom and dad reassure him they love him and think that Jack is a keeper so please don't break up with him. His mother takes more issue with his choice of jam recipe. | |

Non-Samwell Hockey team members include Jack's dad, Bad Bob (Bob Zimmermann), Falconers Assistant General Manager George (Georgia Martin), and Parse (Kent Parson). And then there are the nick-nicknames: Bits, Shits, Holtzy, Rans, and Lards. Before coming to Samwell, Holster was called "Birker" and Ransom was "Ranser".

Jerkass Realization: Jack has one during the playoffs in Year One when he insists that Bitty should participate in a tricky play, and Bitty gets a bad hip check as well as a concussion. He's mad at himself not just because Bitty has to be benched for months and could have been killed, but also that Bitty forgives him and votes him as team captain. Jack asks Bitty why he did that, and Bitty sincerely says that he couldn't ask for a better captain. This is the moment that Jack fell for Bitty. | |

Big Brother Mentor: Jack counts as this, primarily through how he used to coach peewee hockey to 11 and 12 year olds during his recovery period who used to call him Coach Z. It's pretty adorable. He somewhat becomes this to Chowder, but he and Bitty and more like his mom and dad than anything else. Bitty even calls him "my dear son" at one point on his Twitter. | |

The Ace | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Jack. Elected team captain three years in a row, the third time unanimously, a Samwell record. He's also the son of hockey star Bob Zimmermann and a constant subject of media spotlight. Kent Parson is shaping out to be this. He's Jack's former friend and apparent rival for the #1 draft in the 2009 NHL Draft. After being drafted 1st overall by the Las Vegas Aces in 2009 after Jack's overdose, Kent goes on to win the Stanley Cup for the Aces and the Calder Memorial Trophy, which is which is awarded to the player deemed most sufficient in their first year of competition in the NHL. To quote the comic “he’s probably tied for first when it comes to the best living hockey player right now - PROBABLY tied.” | |

Hard Truth Aesop | |

Hard Truth Aesop: Kent and Jack's relationship has the sobering message that even if two people on-paper seem perfect for each other and want the best for their partner, they sometimes aren't good together. Both sides, when Bitty presses them to talk, each admit they made mistakes: Kent reveals he was seriously in love with Jack and did want him to succeed, but didn't understand that Jack was burnt out from his drug addiction and overdose, believing it was a matter of willpower and not poor mental health. Jack says the reason why he broke up with Kent was that when he got clean, he had to cut out the bits of his life that were driving him to drugs. Kent was one of them as an overachiever that seemed Born Lucky with his hockey career, making Jack feel unnecessary pressure. | |

Berserk Button: Bitty is usually averse to physicality and avoids fighting. Unless you don't appreciate Beyonce. His mother believes that using Aunt Judith's jam recipe is a crime. When Bitty confesses to using it to feed the team, she's more upset about that than him feeling he had to hide and calls her sister in a rage. Her husband wisely tells Jack they should skedaddle when they come home to the scene. | |

The only time we see them fight in canon is when they're each worried that the other is sacrificing too much for their relationship, and even that's quickly resolved. Jack proposes and Bitty accepts in 4.25, the second-to-last chapter. | |

Both Sides Have a Point: The argument that Bitty hears between Kent and Jack has some shades of this, until Kent crosses the line. Kent wants to know where Jack is going after graduation, and offers that with his connections, he can put Jack on a dream team. He rightly says that Jack is talented and deserves the comeback that should have happened several years ago. Jack politely says that he needs more time to make an informed decision, and he doesn't just want to jump onto a team that looks good on-paper. Plus, he doesn't want people to assume that he got his position because of nepotism. | |

Can't Hold His Liquor: Somewhat. Because of Jack's history with alcohol, he seems to distance himself from substances and parties. He was the lowest ranked drunk during 2.4: Hazapalooza (moreso when compared to fellow Haze victims Dex (5 stars) and Chowder (12 stars)), and purposely doesn't go to parties so he won't get drunk. Sweet, sweet Chowder already had a mad flush after one Natty Light at Hazeapalooza. | |

Even before Bitty's Love Epiphany in 2.6 it was pretty clear from page one that Ngozi views them as endgame and Ngozi says they are "destiny" "10/10 probably" as per Huddle vol 1. As the comic is in Bitty's POV, Bitty's Jack quotes on his twitter make is look as if Jack is flirting with him. Their checking clinics go from boot camps to what seem like dates. Jack hugging Bitty emotionally◊ in the Celly Hockey Shit. Every quip Ngozi makes about Jack and Bitty touching butts. THE HUDDLE ZINE, which has Bitty wearing Jack's jersey. Sophomore year is BLEEDING with this. Resolved at graduation, when Jack finally realizes he likes Bitty and runs off to kiss him. | |

Artistic License – Sports: As awesome as Bitty's check was, his feet did leave the ice when he did so and if it could be proven he intentionally did so to give himself more force, he made an illegal play. Players have gotten game misconducts, fines, and suspensions in the NHL over that. Ngozi didn't realize that it's illegal for people to play in the NCAA after QMJHL, which Jack does. She discussed it in her notes: Ice Skaters and Hockey Skaters do not skate the same way nor do they use the same skates, and Bitty's highlight reel being half figure skating probably would've got him sent to Samwell's Figure skating coach instead. Kent being from New York means he should've played in the OHL, not the QMJHL. | |

Anything but That!: Bitty screams and struggles when his teammates cut off access to the ovens all around campus. Why? Because he hasn't worked on his thesis. They tell him he gets access back when he finishes. | |

Running Gag | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The color of Kent's eyes always changes, and it's probably on purpose. Jack's lack of pop culture knowledge. People commenting that the Haus is nicer than a typical frat house because it has curtains. Year 3 has Fry Guy, a background character who tends to suffer whenever the main characters get overexcited. The hockey team's rivalry with the lacrosse team. | |

Relationship Reveal | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_fb03c2ca | comment |
Relationship Reveal: An extra published after the end of the comic reveals that Ollie and Wicky are actually married, much to the surprise of both the audience and the other characters. This was actually foreshadowed in an earlier extra that showed only one bed in their shared room. | |

Canadian Equals Hockey Fan: Jack is from Montreal and Ransom's from Toronto. They both have a, erm, strong pride for their home country, as shown in the extras. Jean-Claude and Nicolas. | |

Team Mom | |

Team Mom: Bittle is the nurturing, pie-making variety. Well seen during his interactions with Chowder, the tadpoles when he gives his tours, and any time he offers pie, which is a lot. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Year 3 has new tadpoles: Whiskey and Tango, both are words of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. Then we introduce a new manager in the same year who wears a fox sweater and whose last name begins with F. You get one guess as to what her nickname will be. | |

Will They or Won't They? | |

Will They or Won't They?: Bitty and Jack. Bitty certainly has a crush on Jack, but Jack's sexuality is undetermined. It's not until 2.18-19 that they get together. | |

You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious | |
| Check, Please! (Webcomic) / int_feaf5424 | comment |
You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Jack only ever calls Bitty by his last name, while every one else calls him by his nickname. The only times Jack uses Bitty's nickname is in highly emotional situations. This seems to be a once a year thing until they're in a relationship, at which point Jack starts using "Bitty" and "Bits" freely, though he still calls him "Bittle" occasionally. | |
