* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: The "Beep & Friends" theme song, and Beep's ranting after his arrest (apparently, the full versions of both went [[Up to Eleven]] in this regard).
* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]]: All it takes is for Beep to be arrested for "the most high of all the Meeps" to go on a full on rant that threatens the lives of all the viewers [[And Your Little Dog, Too|and their pets]].
* Squick: The aforementioned theme song.
* [[Take That]]: Many of the complaints levelled against the TV network's programming at the beginning of the episode are complaints that were levelled at ''[[Doctor Who]]'' leading up to the infamous 18-month hiatus. This becomes a meta-[[Brick Joke]] at the end, as the emcee of ''Audience Share'' remarks that after Beep's arrest, "Beep & Friends" has been put on hiatus for 18 months. May also be a case of [[Lampshade Hanging]] for [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]], as Colin Baker was the incumbent Doctor who was unceremoniously fired due to the hiatus, and whose firing was apparently one of the conditions for the hiatus' end.
** The entire drama can be seen as a massive [[Take That]] to reality TV, as the network puts on the most brain-rotting trash, and gleefully remarks that much of it is cast by the viewers themselves, who appear for the sheer fame, and so the network doesn't have to pay them a cent in compensation. [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|Not like anything like that ever happens in real life...]]
* [[Wardrobe Malfunction]]: An "unintentional" one resulted in Linda being one of the two finalists on ''Audience Share''.
