Line 17:
* '''Flatmate Wanted''', Rachael Coopes offers to share an apartment with unsuspecting individuals, but then reveals something a little interesting about herself that might change their mind.
* The '''Very Foreign Correspondent''', an Indian who goes undercover to try and expose the country's racial tensions against Indians, and constantly accuses people of being racist (gee, does that sound [[Expy|familiar]])
* And of course, they've had their own versions of Alex Zane as well (known as '''The Game Show Host from Hell'''); James Kerley in season 1 (host of ''[[Cash Cab]]''), and John Burgess (host of [[Catchphrase (game show)||Burgo's Catch Phrase]]) in season 2. The funnier part, is that both of them have actually hosted actual game shows.

Line 31:
* [[Parody]]: Most of Alex Zane's shows are parodies of other game shows:
** ''Alex Zane's Sex Contract Game'' is like ''[[The Dating Game]]'', except that the 2 bachelors have apparently signed "legally-binding contracts" stating that the winner must have sex with the bachelorette later after the show. Alex had made ''sure'' that the victims saw the woman they'd be asking questions to before the show, because of course, [[Fan Disservice|she is switched out for an unattractive woman right at the last minute]].
** ''Say What You See with Me, AZ'' is mainly a parody of the famous ''You Say We Pay'' phone-in segment of Richard & Judy's daytime talk show, with a title referencing ''[[Catchphrase (game show)||Catch Phrase]]''
*** The Aussie version did this one with John Burgess as ''Burgo's Big Picture Game''. Which then proceeds to lampshade his previous role with "Phrase Catch" and "Say What You See" rounds
** ''Alex Zane's Cleverness Game'' features "ordinary people with [[Mastermind|extraordinary knowledge of one subject]]." This one is probably his most blatant parody.
