Line 48:
** In Series 4 #6, Tyler talks to a dog about George's campaign for Mayor of Northolt. Although this could be one of his dellusions, the dog actually shakes his hand, and hell, Tyler being friends with da Vinci turned out to be true.
* [[Evolving Credits]]: Throughout the series, clips from the show are used with Ardal O'Hanlon (George) and Emily Joyce (Janet) are the only two to be credited in the opening though the other main characters are featured as well. Whereas Janet's shot was changed for nearly each series, except for Series 1-2, George's uses the same clip of him from the first ever episode until James Dreyfus takes the role in Series 6.
* [[Fake American]]: Averted with Arnie, played by New York-born Lou Hirsch, best known as the voice of Baby Herman in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: George. (Kept up for too long, a man who has lived on earth for five years should understand what prostitution is.)
* [[Flying Car]]: In [[S 2 E 04]], Janet and George make a deal with Piers which results in him giving them his car which George makes fly.
Line 86:
* [[Tastes Like Chicken]]: In 5x08, "How Green Was My Ollie", George gets some GM Food from Ultron which allows anything to taste like anything (e.g. something that looks like brocoli but tastes like ice cream). Tyler, has a snack in George's house and says that it tastes just like chicken, only for it to be revealed by George that it is chicken.
* [[Ted Baxter]] (Piers Crispin)
* [[Ten -Minute Retirement]]: In 4x08, "The Consultant", George resigns from his superhero duties protecting the Earth after new rules make him so stressed he almost causes the death of his friends by a ICBM. He is replaced by Localman, who is soon replaced by Tempman, who is replaced by Work Experience Boy. When Janet is trapped in the burning Health Centre, Work Experience Boy's attempt to save her goes tits up when he accidentally flies into a bush, but George triumphantly returns as Thermoman and saves her.

* [[True Love's Kiss]]: Subverted in 2x05. George, attempting to break through Rovi's mind control over Janet, announces that he's giving her a True Love's Kiss, but later confesses that what actually broke the mind control was him using the kiss to covertly slip her the antidote to the superattraction ability that Rovi had been using on her.
* [[Uncanny Valley Makeup]]: Mrs Raven, when trying to appear nice because of the supervisor.
