Line 7:

* [[Actor Shipping]]: Noel and Paloma Faith, in-show, largely for both being [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cloudcuckoolanders]].
* [[Author Appeal]]: Mark Lamarr is a big fan of reggae; when Jimmy Cliff was on the show he kept awarding his team points for "just having Jimmy Cliff in".
** Similarly, Simon Amstell is a fan of [[Patrick Wolf]]. When Wolf appeared on the show, Simon was ''ridiculously'' nice to him (by Simon standards) and [[OOC Is Serious Business|didn't mock him once.]]
Line 14:
** And ''don't'' insult Michael Jackson in front of David Gest.
** Phill tends to get keyed up whenever the person in the lineup is very famous and he doesn't want to make any jokes at their expense.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Whereas Mark Lamarr tended to make jokes at the expense of his least-favourite artists, [[Ax Crazy|frequently concocting mock evil schemes to get them killed]], Simon Amstell spends much more time chatting to his guests of the week. Which in effect means that he spends much more time mocking them personally than Mark ever did (and much less time mocking the team captains, which Mark used to ''love'' doing.)
* [[Big Eater]]: Phill Jupitus, at least according to Mark's intro jokes.
{{quote|'''Mark:''' Phill cooked Christmas dinner for eight, but before he could eat it, some people turned up...}}
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]:
** Sean rattled off an Irish Gaelic phrase ("Thanks very much for the toilet, please.") in one episode as a [[Batman Gambit]] to pick one of the Nolan Sisters out of a lineup (she being the only one who understood it and couldn't keep a straight face).
** Bill Bailey speaking French while discussing The Kooks' criminal record.
Line 145:
** And again towards [[Billie Piper]]. Slightly [[Crosses the Line Twice]], as she appeared on the show at the age of 17.
{{quote|'''Mark''': "If loving Billie's wrong, I don't want to... (''quietly'') go to prison."}}
* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]: Simon.
** "You have out-gayed me, [[John Barrowman|Barrowman!"]]
* [[Suspect Is Hatless]]: The 'Identity Parade' can often degenerate into this. It's responsible for some of its best moments.
