Line 28:
* Julian Morrow: Does a lot of the more political stuff; comes up with 'fixes' for things.
(For the Korean film which [[Name's the Same|shares its name]] with the group, see ''[[The Chaser (

* [[All Crimes Are Equal]]: Parodied with their Citizen's Infringement Notices.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Chas borders on this at times.
* [[Badass Mustache]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Current affairs shows ''Today Tonight'' and ''A Current Affair'' provided a seemingly ceaseless source of [[Narm|narmful]] and [[Cowboy Bebop
* [[Candid Camera Prank]]: ''Lots'' of these.
* [[Caught
* [[Channel Hop]]: Averted, despite many requests from commercial efforts. Yet we all know the Chaser could not be as good as it is if it was on a commercial network; its freedom comes from how the ABC doesn't have to answer to potentially offended corporate sponsors who may threaten to pull the plug on sponsorship. Also parodied in the series itself.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: The end of the fourth ''Yes We Canberra'' episode has this. In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV-inAzEleE song].
Line 66:
** [[Non-Action Guy]]: Dominic Knight
* [[Football Hooligans]]: Parodied with one skit which involved selling balaclavas and (fake) knuckledusters in club colors to [[Rugby League|Canterbury Bulldogs]] fans.
* [[Fun
* [[Gag Sub]]: The first season in 2006 did this a lot with videos of Osama Bin Laden.
** Returned in ''The Hamster Wheel'' with footage of Libyan protesters 'complaining' about Sonia Kruger replacing Kerri-Ann Kennelly on some morning television series. Released footage from what would've been their royal wedding coverage did the same thing with victims of the Tohoku earthquake and their eagerness for, well, the royal wedding.
Line 76:
* [[Large Ham]]: All of them have their moments, but Chas in particular.
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: The Citizen's Infringement Officer, full stop.
* [["Mission Impossible" Cable Drop]]: Craig during the 2007 opening credits.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Both averted and parodied.
* [[News Parody]]
Line 107:
* [[Strongly Worded Letter]]: A recurring character in the final season was an angry letter writer continually offended by the show. Ironically, the character debuted in the same episode as the "Make a Realistic Wish Foundation" sketch, but that wasn't the segment he was objecting to.
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The Making of Politics With Cats, probably to appease [[Fan Dumb|complainers.]] Averted with the caption at the end, which claimed that "6387 cats were harmed during the making of this series."
* [[Take That]]: Between [[Idiot Ball|A Current Affair]], [[Narm|60 Minutes]] and especially [[Butt Monkey|Today]] [[Cowboy Bebop
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: APEC motorcade. Enough said.
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: ''Housefrau Hitler''. No, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7K5y9sL3mU go on].
