Line 40:
* [[Britain Is Only London]] Subverted and parodied by the sketch Curtisland, which mocks films like Notting Hill and Bridget Jones' Diary for presenting hyper idealised images of Britain.
** Also parodied in the "Essex Man/London Man" sketches, where two identical men argue over the respective merits of Essex and London. The joke is that due to London "overspill" into neighbouring Essex, most of the UK considers them to be pretty much part of a whole.
* [[Convicted
* [[Conspicuous CGI]]
* [[Crapsack World]] The scenes where Clive slowly walks home through the decaying streets of modern Britain are so monumentally depressing they make the most cheerful of viewers suicidal.
Line 58:
* [[Gorn]]
* [[Harmless Villain]]: Omar, Abdul and Shafiq, the incompetent terrorists
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[King
** The "Classically Trained Actor" is voiced by Peter Dickson, AKA The E4 Man. Crikey!
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Only series 1 is available on DVD so other methods have to be employed to watch the other series.
Line 84:
{{quote| '''Mister Skatey:''' Sheeit! We in the white man honkey prison! Sheeeit, motherfucker!}}
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: The London/Essex guys. We see them sharing a bed in the Nocturne for [[S 2 E 1]].
* [[Where Were You Last Night?]]: Turned into a recurring gag with Clive, a character who disappears from his wife for extended amounts of time (usually an evening, sometimes as long as years) and, when questioned as to his whereabouts repeats the plot of a film, book or (in one memorable episode) nursery rhyme. The actual explanation is typically something immensely revolting, humiliating and sexual.
* [[X In Space]]: Some of the running-gags are taken here--the cab-driver in Series 2 ''literally'' goes to the third moon of Jupiter.
