=== [[Game Show]] Tropes in use: ===
* [[All or Nothing]]: Losers leave with nothing, as is made quite clear by Jimmy. Sometimes the ''winner'' does, too, if he wipes out in the "[[Bonus Round]]".
{{quote| '''[[Jimmy Carr]]''': "You don't leave empty-handed... well, actually you ''do''..."}}
* [[Bonus Round]]: Inverted '''big time'''; you get the prizes up front, but must answer questions to keep them from being damaged/destroyed.
* [[Bonus Space]]: Some challenges awarded points to the contestant who did the most of something during a round (putting clothespins or rubber bands on his or her face, for example).
Line 19:
* [[Covered in Gunge]]: The "Catapult" round in the American version.
* [[Deadly Game]]: Comes damn near close, and treated in-show as a running joke, especially in such rounds as "Bed Of Nails".
{{quote| '''Jimmy''': "The questions in this round are about dead people, because that's what ''you'' might be if anything goes wrong."}}
* [[Home Game]]: A "''Distraction'' Quiz Book" released in the United Kingdom, with questions and ideas on how to make some of the distractions at home.
* Personnel:
Line 51:
* [[Half-Hour Comedy]]
* [[Made of Iron]]: One round had the "buzz-in" being to beat an old woman arm-wrestling... at which point her bodybuilder "son" zapped you with a cattle prod. One guy ''did not react'' to the prod. (He won, obviously.)

* [[Refuge in Audacity]] ''and'' [[Refuge in Vulgarity|Vulgarity]]
