* [[Air Vent Passageway]] - parodied
* [[BBC Quarry]]: referenced:
{{quote|
* [[Big Word Shout]] - Harry loves these and has probably done just about every sub-trope, too.

'''Harry''': [[
* [[Black Helicopter]] - L.O.U.G.H.B.O.R.O.U.G.H. maintain a fleet of them.
* [[Brown Note]] - the colour "Garrow" causes all who look at it to go crazy.
Line 23:
* [[Creator Provincialism]] - Parodied, when one of the villains claims that there are so many alien invasions of the UK "for tax reasons".
* [[Flash Back Back Back]] - Nebulous has frequent flashbacks to his childhood, triggered by variants of the word "Clown".
* [[For Science!]] - Nebulous has shown a lack of foresight regarding some of his inventions.

* [[Missing Episode]] - Parodied in the liner notes for the first series, which claims that there were at least 11 series of ''Nebulous'', but almost all the episodes were lost. Many of the examples given are spoofs of famous ''[[
* [[Metaphorgotten]] - a [[Running Gag]] is that Professor Nebulous frequently takes metaphors too far until they break:

* [[Monster Clown]] - sort of, Nebulous has terrifying (to him) flashbacks about ''being'' a clown.
** Because both his parents were clowns, and being clowns was the family business. He bucked the trend by becoming an underpaid scientist.
Line 43:
* [[Parody Episode]] - many episodes are fairly close parodies of classic sci-fi series.
* [[Perky Female Minion]] - The aptly-named Paula Breeze, who takes perkiness to the point of mental illness.
* [[Shout
* [[Sick Episode]] - Third series episode "Us and Phlegm". Rory, Paula, Harry and ninety-nine percent of the nation's workforce come down with every serious illness in the world, one after another. Eventually Nebulous discovers that {{spoiler|aliens were behind it.}}
