Line 106:
* [[Dodgy Toupee]]: Several appear in ''Scoutrageous'' when Graeme and Bill are trying to earn their Wig Spotter's Badge.
* [[Dog Walks You]]: In ''Kitten Kong'' Tim gets dragged along by a kitten (and over some dog poo that happened to be there when they were filming the scene, what makes it worse is that that shot was filmed with stop motion, so Tim was dragged through the dog poo slowly).
* [[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!]]: This is played with in the very first episode, as the Crown Jewels have a sign placed by them reading "Please Do Not Steal". It doesn't do much good.
* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: "We would like to point out that Ecky Thump is the ancient Lancastrian art of self defence. When practised by the untrained, it could be dangerous."
* [[Dope Slap]]: Frequent -- often in the visual gag sequences, one or two characters will make a mistake with comedic results, stand around looking sheepish for a while, and get slapped or shoved (usually on the arm or shoulder) several times by whoever of them watched the mistake happen.
Line 176:
'''Goodies:''' How interesting. Our ambition is to own our own bank. }}
* [[The Girl Who Fits This Slipper]]: In "Punky Business", Graeme turns Tim into a punk by cutting his leg off. After reattaching it, he warns Tim that the catch won't last much past midnight. Tim goes to the Trensetter's Ball, where he loses his leg at midnight. Caroline Kook vows to marry the man whom the leg fits. Cue punks cutting off their own legs.
* [[Glass
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: Tim's union jack boxers make several appearances in The Goodies, most notably in ''The End'' and ''Scoutrageous''.
** And in ''Saturday Night Grease'' he dons a pair of underpants that have a large carrot on them.
Line 286:
* [[Parody Commercial]]: From the start of season 1 to the end of season 4, episodes were split into two parts, divided by parody commercials. They made a return in the season 6 episode ''It Might As Well Be String'', which was a parody of the advertisement industry in general.
* [[Pin Pulling Teeth]] (In reference to this trope, while on a desert island Graeme bites the top off a pineapple which then explodes [[Rule of Funny|for no apparent reason]].
* [[Poke the Poodle]] (When the end of the world is nigh, Tim panics, worrying about his sins and the possibility he may go to hell. His sins, in the order he confessed them to Bill and Graeme: Forgetting to put the turkey in for Christmas, tucking his shirt inside his underpants, and making little bubbles in the bath between his knees. When he has a [[Freak
* [[Political Stereotype]]: Not a major part of their characters, but the three Goodies each had elements of being stereotypical members of the three main political parties in the UK at the time: Bill for Labour, Tim for the Conservatives and Graeme for the Liberals.
* [[Power Trio]]
Line 304:
** Although then BBC controller Jane Root is on record as saying she would allow no more episodes to be made and would permit repeat screenings ''only over my dead body''. Something of a hate figure among Goodies afficionados, fans are patiently waiting for news of her funeral.
* [[Shoot Out the Lock]]: In ''UF-Friend or UFO'' Bill is being chased by what he thinks is an alien, but Tim won't let him in the door, so he orders Graham's robot to open it. The robot promptly disintegrates the door, so Bill can't lock it after him.
* [[Shout
{{quote| '''Graeme:''' Captain's log...stardate, February 18th...time, 10:15...It is with deep regret that I--10:15?! Hey! ''[turns TV on, the opening titles to Flying Circus roll]'' [[Take That|Ah, blast! ...Missed Maura Anderson.]]}}
** Also, the cast of ''[[Sooty]]'' leading a '[[Incredibly Lame Pun|puppet government]]'. And the giant [[The Magic Roundabout|Dougal and Zebedee...]]
Line 357:
* [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]: Mocked in "The Goodies and the Movies", where Tim eventually fires all the film directors for making films of this type.
** Specifically, he says 50% of them are either "very boring or extremely pretentious", and the rest are unnecessarily violent or sexy.
* [[
* [[Universal Adaptor Cast]]: In those episodes inexplicably set in alternate times or places, where the trio play different characters.
* [[Visual Pun]] (All the time.)
