Line 40 ⟶ 41:
** This was a reference to BBC Scotland's annoying habit of pre-empting network programmes with (usually inferior) local content.
* [[One Scene, Two Monologues]]: One of their best known sketches is a variation on this trope--Corbett and Barker play two very different characters both talking on pay phones in a supermarket. They are having totally unconnected conversations with different (unseen) people on the other end, but they take turns to speak and they seem to be having a surreal conversation with each other.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Obviously averted. They are, after all, the ''Two'' Ronnies.
* [[Self-Deprecation]] and [[Acceptable Targets]] (incessant gags about Corbett's height or lack thereof)
* [[Swear Jar]]: The Swearbox Sketch.
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* [[With Lyrics]]: They did this to the jazz number "In the Mood".
The serial ''[[w:The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town|The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town]]'' uses or parodies the following tropes:
* [[A Bloody Mess]]: Raspberry juice, in the graveyard scene.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: From a half-hour programme in the series "Six Dates with Barker". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuMlLE8-6Ek Here's a clip from the original.]
