The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer: Difference between revisions

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] - Everyone to some extent, but especially Whisky and Brandy Bolland.

* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]: One version of the "I Love the Smell" closing number consisted of an argument between Vic and Bob about which was better, Communist Cuba or electrical appliances.

'''Vic:''' Yes, but he'd be lost without his Flymo! }}

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]] - Swiss Toni appeared once to sell the Men With Bras a car before he became a regular on ''[[The Fast Show]]'', much less before he got his own series.

** The real Slade were reportedly big fans of the Reeves and Mortimer version, but claimed that they were never as surreal as the real thing.

*** There's also Mulligan and O'Hare, the apparently pleasant if dull folk music duo, whose lyrics inevitably take a dark turn:

* [[Fartillery]]: Le Corbussier et Papin - literally, in one episode when the former uses the latter as a ''howitzer'' against passing Tour de France cyclists.

* [[Poirot|Hercule Poirot]]: Appears when Bob misreads Vic's note asking for "dancing marionettes and Pierrot" as "dancing majorettes and Poirot".

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Constantly. For example, when Vic claimed he was upper-class because he owned a colour television.

* [[Inventional Wisdom]]: The Reeves and Mortimer products.

'''Vic:''' I don't know - ''but it does!'' }}

* [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum]]: Half the Reeves and Mortimer products, as well as the start-of-episode sketches. Everything, in fact.

** In addition, a recent tribute to Steve Coogan featured Kinky John as a TV executive, Tom Fun and Derek as cameramen, and Carl and Chris as BBC security.

* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: A segment parodying the overuse of metaphors in public information films, in which Vic and Bob explained the human body in terms of the appliances in a house...but wrongly.
