Line 31:
* [[Disorganized Outline Speech]]: Most (if not all) of Dave's opening monologues.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The first season seems rather disorganised compared to the rest of the series with a lot of filler segments (Quantum, Eurotrash, That Bastard Santa Claus, Cherish The Children, Dear Glass House, et al.) lasting only one or two episodes and then never seen again.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: The Trophy segment, the (very irregular) Create A New Segment For The Glass House Competition, and in the first season only, Other Stuff.
* [[Friday Night Death Slot]]: Its time slot for most of its lifespan was "sometime late on Friday". This arguably worked to its advantage, as its humour was...not ''edgy'', but certainly not mainstream either. Its Friday-night slot was so ingrained that even when it moved to Wednesdays, it was still repeated late on Friday.

* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: Acronyms often made an appearance, either in the opening vision (The '''S'''cientific '''H'''unting '''A'''nd '''M'''arine '''E'''xpedition, on Japanese whalers), the monologues (The '''F'''ederal '''U'''nited '''C'''ollective '''K'''icking '''O'''ut '''F'''oreign '''F'''ighters, on a possible Australian equivalent of the FBI), or within the discussions themselves.
{{quote| '''Wil:''' ''The Canberra University Netball Team had a rather unfortunate acronym. Spell it at home, kids.''}}
* [[Gag Words]]: Corinne first used the word [[Inherently Funny Words|'wadge']] towards the end of the series.
