* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Go on, just try to find one clip on [[YouTube]] with [[Pretty Boy|Mathew Baynton]] in it that doesn't have comments gushing over how 'fit' (British for 'gorgeous') Mat is. Larry Rickard, one of the writers/performers, has also referred to costar Ben Willbond as 'mum candy' in [http://fuckyeahhorriblehistories.tumblr.com/post/2992581549/montague-foselpeck-witchfindersdirect-omg one of his tweets]{{Dead link}}—and of course, Rickard himself and Jim Howick get their share of this as well. It's all become something of a behind-the-scenes [[Running Gag]].
** Which was in turn recently lampshaded during a pre-[[BAFTA]] ceremony [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCPeyiCurnY interview with the cast]. "What's the secret to your tremendous success?" Rickard (completely deadpan): "Mat's eyes." Rickard also referred the 'why does the show appeal to adults?' question to Willbond the mum candy.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: There's a sketch about Elizabeth I being this, including her most well-known nickname of "Pygmy" for one of her ministers.
