This series provides examples of:
* [[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 (TV)|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 (Film)|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
Line 15:
* [[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 toTo" 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 Byby 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 (TV)|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]]".
