Line 35:
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: RokTV presenter Harfynn Teuport's description of the controversy sparked by a gangsta rapper Fur-Q and his performances of his song "Uzi Lover",
{{quote|'''Harfynn Teuport''': During the stage version of the song, in the live show, he kills five people on the stage, during the stage show, live, as it's performed!}}
* [[Eat the Camera]]: in the "War" episode, features precision-guided missiles "with nose-mounted cameras" which provide a POV perspective of the missles' path. One such missile is so precise that its camera shows the missile entering a soldier's mouth and going down his throat before the camera's transmission cuts to static, signifying an explosion in the soldier's stomach.
* [[Feigning Intelligence]]: Sports commentator Alan Partridge never has any clue about anything he ever reports on, but nobody else ever appears to notice, as he is good at mincing his words. On the other hand, economics correspondent Peter O'Hanraha-Hanrahan is just as inept but is constantly torn to pieces for it by Chris, live on air.
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan can be seen getting knocked unconscious by a single punch in the background of a live-scene news report.
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
** It is generally accepted that it's a spoof of Eldorado, an extremely lame, failed BBC soap opera set on the Costa del Sol.
** It manages to spoof all of the following soap opera clichés (such as the ridiculous emphasis on relationships) despite being set in a single, very small room and only having six minutes of airtime over the entire series:
*** [[Back
*** [[Crazy Jealous Guy|Crazy Jealous Girl]]: Maria, who assaults Angie after sussing out that she's sleeping with Maria's boyfriend Alex.
*** [[Deus Angst Machina]]: Guy, who never tires of reminding everybody that he's gay. This trope takes off in episode 3, when Guy is beaten to a pulp in the street for being gay, and then fired from The Bureau afterwards, also for being gay.
