Line 37:
* [[Banana Republic]]: Literally, in ''The Affair of the Lone Banana'' and again in ''Foiled by President Fred''.
* [[Biting the Hand Humour]]: Everywhere. For example, when Bluebottle has turned out to have been impersonating Wallace Greenslade after complicated events that made no sense:
{{quote|'''Bluebottle''': I was using his [[Buffy-Speak|large-type front and posh-type talking act]] to work my way to a position of importance in the BBC!
'''Seagoon''': Silly lad! There ''are'' no positions of importance in the BBC! }}
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Tons.
Line 256:
{{quote|'''Seagoon:''' Quit stalling - empty your pockets!}}
** They were fond of this gag, but they did seem to know when to cut it off:
{{quote|'''Seagoon:''' Open my money chest and put on a [[No Fourth Wall|gramophone record]] of seven thousand pounds in shillings.
''Thirty seconds of coins clinking, one by one''
'''Bloodnok:''' Wait a minute, that was only three thousand five hundred pounds!
'''Seagoon:''' I'll play you the other side.
'''Bloodnok:''' No, wait; I'll play the rest when I get home. }}
* [[Patriotic Fervour]]: Seagoon, often claiming things "''For ENGLAAAAND!''" (despite Harry Secombe being Welsh).
