Line 49:
** Rick Wakeman of [[Yes]], especially when he and Bill Bailey do a live Intros round. In wizard outfits.
** [[The Goodies (TV)|Bill Oddie]]. From his bizarre insistance that Shakira was "sacrificing a kitten" to his attempts to sing "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" in the next lines round. Heavily lampshaded in the closing titles which were, as Stewart Lee had suggested "a series of slow fades, suggesting the passage of time", which made Oddie look utterly mental.
** Bernard Cribbins on the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode.
*** "I like prawns, they're nice."
** Diana Vickers fell into this halfway through her episode during the "Next Lines" rounds. It's as if her brain black-ed out mid-sentence!
Line 86:
* [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Often used in the ID Parade game when nobody has a clue, such as "It'll be the one who's wearing the maddest shoes!" Sometimes Phill or Bill will have an informed opinion but will keep quiet at first and let their guests come up with this stuff just for humour value.
* [[Last -Second Word Swap]]: The title of the show - a pun on the band '[[[[Buzzcocks (Music)|Buzzcocks]]' and the [[Sex Pistols]]' [[Intentionally Awkward Title|TV-unfriendly]] album title 'Never Mind the Bollocks'.
* [[Long List]]: Of things [[The Smiths|Morrissey]] [[The Eeyore|apparently hates]], and [[All of Them|what should have won "Best Song of the Last 25 Years" over Robbie Williams' "Angels"]], among others.
* [[Malicious Slander]]: Parodied with Mark's "Wicked Whispers" running joke, where he gives 'shocking celebrity facts' such as a rumour that [[Elton John]] may be gay.
Line 123:
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: The show doesn't shy away from using profanity, but the jabs and insults are always wrapped in eloquence and metaphor; so when Bill's only comment on ''Loose Women'' is "Oh God, I hate those ''bitches''", you know he means it.
* [[Product Placement]]: Parodied.
{{quote| '''Phill:''' Then he [one of [[The Bee Gees]]] sings "[[Mondegreen|I've got a penguin on my shoes]]", but what we don't know, Mark, is whether it's a penguin as in the wildfowl, or as in [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin_%28biscuit%29:Penguin chr(28)biscuitchr(29)|the delicious chocolatey biscuit]].<br />
'''Mark:''' Are you being paid by them to say that?<br />
'''Phill''' ''([[Aside Glance]])'': No, but it is indeed a tasty sweet treat! }}
