Line 51: * [[Cats Are Mean]] - Cat enthusiast Dougall Siepp is a scary guy. * [[Caught with Your Pants Down]] - Parodied and inverted. Harvey Denton has a peculiar paranoia about walking in on his nephew, Benjamin, and has an entire, [[Spit Take]]-inducing collection of [[Unusual Euphemism\|Unusual Euphemisms]] ready. There has never been any concrete evidence of Benjamin actually masturbating. * [[Celebrity Paradox]] - Mick McNamara claims that an episode of Tom Baker-era ''[[Doctor Who]]'' was filmed at the Stump Hole caverns. So why does Mick, and approximately one third of the town, look exactly like that guy who played Dr. Lazarus in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/~~NS/S3~~S29/E06 The Lazarus Experiment\|The Lazarus Experiment]]" and wrote the episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/~~NS/S2~~S28/E07 The Idiot's Lantern\|The Idiot's Lantern]]"? And why does another third of the town so greatly resemble the guy who played Strackman Lux in "[[Doctor Who/Recap/~~NS/S4~~S30/E08 Silence in the Library\|Silence in the Library]]" and "[[Doctor Who/Recap/~~NS/S4~~S30/E09 Forest of the Dead\|Forest of the Dead]]?" And why {{spoiler\|does Dougal Siepp so greatly resemble the Ninth Doctor?}} * [[Characterization Marches On]] - In Series 2, Herr Lipp was essentially a creep and a sociopath; in the Christmas Special, though still a nasty pederast, he at least shows some compassion and sacrifices himself to save Matthew. By the time we get to the Movie, he is a kind and caring guy (even his turn to violence is intended to save the locals from what he believes to be endless misery) who is incidentally campy, a far cry from the selfish date-rapist he originally was. * [[Cheshire Cat Grin]] - Hilary Briss gives these a lot. Line 198: * [[Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror]] * [[Sorry I Left the BGM On]] - Used as a [[Running Gag]] when the ''League'' theme music is repeatedly revealed to be [[Cell Phone\|mobile phone]] ringtones. * [[Special Guest]] - David Warner (aka [[Time Bandits\|Evil]], aka [[Tron\|Dillinger/Sark]],[[Batman: The Animated Series\|Ra's al Ghul]], aka [[Baldur's Gate\|Jon Irenicus]], aka [[Discworld\|Lord Downey]], aka [[Freakazoid!\|The Lobe]]) as Mr. Pea. * [[Talking to Himself]] - There's one scene where Geoff, Edward, and Papa Lazarou all discuss the fact that they are played by the same actor. * [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works\|Throwing Your Bardiche Always Works]] Line 204: {{reflist}} {{BAFTA TV Award for Best Comedy (Programme or Series)}} [[Category:British Series]] [[Category:Sketch Comedy]] Line 209 ⟶ 210: [[Category:TV Series]] [[Category:Britain's Best Sitcom]] {{DEFAULTSORT:League of Gentlemen (TV series), The}}
