Line 37:
** Marcus also once unbuttoned most of his shirt to demonstrate to [[Andy Parsons]] that, in fact, he [[Carpet of Virility|does not lack the ability to grow body hair]].
** And there was Kieran the stripper in a fourth-series episode. Not only that, but he motivated [[Jack Whitehall]] to drop trou as well.
** Rufus removed his shirt on one occasion to show his tattoos to everyone.
* [[Right for the Wrong Reasons]]: The basis of some arguments, particularly ones the panelists are loath to support literally, such as the idea that bankers are doing a great job. Marcus argued that the actual day-to-day job of going to work, losing millions of pounds of other people's money, and then getting massive raises funded by other people's money, is in fact a great job, and bankers are doing that job.
** Also sometimes the basis for the audience's votes.
Line 43:
* [[Take That]]: Almost more the show's premise than arguing is. Politicians and celebrities tend to bear most of the load, with the other panelists and various cultural groups picking up the slack.
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: [[Frankie Boyle]], no matter what team he's on.
* [[A Touch of Class, Ethnicity, and Religion]]: Often what the first round is based on, but also makes up 90% of Rufus's jokes about Marcus.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Marcus and Rufus, in ''spades''.
