{{creatortropes}}
* [[Acting for Two]]: happens fairly often. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU Bargain Hunt]" memorably features three separate characters played by Philip, and two by Anthony.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: "[[Doctor Who]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuqWnY5ElzE The Musical]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU Bargain Hunt]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9g9Pja0yc4 Deal] [[Deal or No Deal|or No Deal]]", "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8PvtMwXoqw Four Funerals]" (a parody of the TV show Four Weddings), and "[[I Know What You Did Last Summer|I May Know]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO34rgh0hr0 What You Might Have Done Yesterday]".
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Sort of - the name of "Man who Cannot Think of a Superhero Name" is not mentioned in the main part of "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]", but it is mentioned in one of the [[Hilarious Outtakes]] during the credits.
* [[And Starring]]: with Kieron Papps
* [[Badass Normal]]: None of the characters in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]" have any powers.
* [[Clark Kenting]]: In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]", Bipolar Man attempts this by taking off his glasses and wearing a police helmet. It works on Man who Cannot Think of a Superhero Name, but not on Tramp Boy.
* [[Couch Gag]]: The Philthon Jones intro. It started out (for the first three videos) as someone just saying "Philthon Jones", but there have been variations since - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xQRmTNNAA one video] even had the intro segue into the episode itself.
** The logo also changed for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAmpxWMeA3o one video], where Jones was replaced by a pack of scones.
* [[Credits Gag]]: An [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAmpxWMeA3o episode] made while Jones was unavailable credits him with "[[And Starring|Not Starring]]".
* [[Fake Nationality]]: [[Acting for Two|One of the characters played by Philip]] in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU Bargain Hunt]" has some sort of unidentifiable cross between French, German, and Cockney accents that needs to be seen to believed. Jones also does a weird accent, although it is closer to German, in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wothBgBbZlo The Murder of Lord Avocado]".
** [[Fake American]]: Anthony has attempted this a couple of times, in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wothBgBbZlo The Murder of Lord Avocado]" and "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLK7pI2JNH4 The Meeting]".
* [["Faux To" Guide]]: The ''Do It The Philthon Jones Way'' series.
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: a few videos include them - and even when there aren't true examples, the camera sometimes continues to roll during the credits, picking up whatever happens afterwards.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: ''Caught Chatting'' follows the pattern of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'', naming each episode after a quote from it.
* [[One of Us]]: This article was started by [[Tropers/Anthony Mercer|Anthony]]!
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: It's Jones, not James.
* [[Panel Show]]: ''Caught Chatting'' is presented in this format.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]] / [[Absentee Actor]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xQRmTNNAA Emergency Appeal]" was caused by Jones not turning up to a recording session.
* [[Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud]]: Necessary in "[[Doctor Who]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVocImGogX4 Episode Zero]"
* [[Running Gag|Running Gags]]: A few, including "Bingo!" and the [[It Makes Sense in Context|75 dead starlings]].
** The ''[http://www.youtube.com/user/PhilthonJones#grid/user/CDA8871A905B67C4 Do It The Philthon Jones Way]'' videos make a running gag of "£9.99, postage and packaging not included", although the line is said in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFhRthRVnKw the latest video] as "[[Blooper|£9.99, no postage and packaging]]".
* [[Schedule Slip]]: supposedly weekly, but there's only been one update since January 2011.
* [[Story Arc]]: Almost - Jones went missing in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xQRmTNNAA Emergency Appeal]", and didn't appear in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAmpxWMeA3o next] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU two] either - the first of those went as far as to replace him with a pack of scones ([[Don't Explain the Joke|it rhymes with Jones]]), and the logo was edited to reflect that.
* [[Superheroes Wear Capes]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]", the most traditional one being Man who Cannot Think of a Superhero Name.
* [[The Points Mean Nothing]]: ''Caught Chatting'' - amounts of points have included "Jones", "sine minus one ninety", and "[[Homestar Runner]]".
** This also happens in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8PvtMwXoqw Four Funerals]".
* [[Wrong Turn At Albuquerque]]: Referenced in the suitably named episode "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dJjkfGl9w I knew we should have taken a left at Albuquerque]".
