Englishman: Difference between revisions

* [[Alien Abduction]] -- In the episode "Englishman Vs <s>Global Warming</s> The Alien Invasion", it is revealed that aliens somehow abducted Abraham Lincoln in the 19th century. He returns to Earth...and, owing to an obscure legal loophole, becomes President again to serve out the rest of his second term.

* [[America Saves the Day]] -- Played with. Even though Englishman always saves the day, he actually does so on behalf of the USA, and lives there. This is alright, because it is revealed that in the "Englishworld" George Washington secretly made a deal with George III and the USA is in fact still part of the British Empire. However, Britain itself isn't.

* [[Argentina Is Naziland]] -- Parodied in one of the first episodes.

* [[Author Filibuster]] -- A sequence in which Englishman rants about the hypocrisy of the international community's failure to recognise Somaliland.

* [[Those Wacky Nazis]] -- In a comedic exaggeration of the 'Nazis flee to South America' story, the "Englishworld" has an actual Amazonian country called Hitleria, which is populated entirely by Nazi exiles. It is often said to have mysterious cities of gold, thus skilfully combining El Dorado myths with tales of hidden Nazi gold.

* [[Western Terrorists]] -- The episode "Englishman Vs The Axis of Amish Fundamentalism" spoofs this trope by having Englishman fight a conspiracy of Amish suicide bombers, whose bombs consist of bundles of logs with a sundial attached.

* [[Zany Scheme]] -- Most of the plans by both Englishman and the bad guys qualify, for example Frenchman's plot to steal the Statue of Liberty to restore the glory of France.
