Line 7:
Concluded with a [[Christmas Episode]], which gave it an identical run to ''[[The Office]]''.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adam Westing]]: Pretty much the sole purpose for any high profile guest star.
** Special mention has to go to Shaun "Barry off ''[[Eastenders]]''" Williamson [[As Himself]], Darren's only client besides Andy, whose entire character is based on the idea that [[I Am Not Spock|he's only recognizable as his character from the show]] (he answers to "Barry" more often than his own name) and has accepted that he'll probably never get hired again.
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Caustic Critic]]: Poor sitcom of Andy.
* [[Celebrity Star]]: The show runs on this. Spoofed when Chris Martin gets an illogical guest spot on Andy's show. "What are you doing here, in a factory in Wigan? It's ''mental''."
* [[Classically
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Daniel Radcliffe, of all people.
* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Warwick Davis gets violent when Andy makes a pass at his wife.
Line 47 ⟶ 46:
* [[Kafka Komedy]]
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Daniel Radcliffe clearly runs on this trope in his episode, given his desperation to get laid. He does claim to have had sex, although it's somewhat doubtful. Averted with Andy, who lost his virginity at 28 to a woman who looked like Ronnie Corbett.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Pretty much every celebrity is a lot nicer than the bastard versions of themselves they play here.
* [[Method Acting]]: Deliciously parodied. Ian McKellen's acting method is to [[Captain Obvious|pretend to be like the person he is portraying, and imagine how that character would act in that situation.]]
