Line 8:
Every episode features a foolish scheme on the part of either Dick or Dom, and a special guest who must absolutely not hear of the shenanigans... [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Many, many homages and [[Shout-Out|ShoutOuts]] to famous comedy routines and tropes- some of them contained in a “History of funny business” segment, which follows the [[Monty Python]] stage show “lecture on the history of custard pies” format, with “Subject A” (Dick) and “Subject B” (Dom) demonstrating slapstick routines while a voiceover explains the gag.

== Tropes used in the show ==
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: mostly but not all in the History of Funny Business segment, caused by a [[Plank Gag]], [[Banana Peel]], [[Rake Take]] or [[The Pratfall]]. Kelly-Anne delivers the odd [[Armor-Piercing Slap]], too.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Dick dresses as his twin sister, Dixie, in one episode; the special guest promptly falls in love with her. ([[Comically Missing the Point|Dick rather misses his sister at the end of the episode]], so Dom dresses up as another sister to console him.)
