Line 2:
* [[Acceptable Ethnic Targets]]: Lampshaded in the episode where "[[Bill Cosby|Cosby]] and [[Hitler]]" is rejected as a "Title Sequence" name: During "Scenes From a Hat", [[The Lone Ranger|Tonto]] was imitated by Brad. Drew then made a remark about the [[Double Standard]]:
{{quote| '''Drew''': I love that, let's make fun of the Native Americans; who gives a (shit) about them?}}
* [[Acceptable Political Targets]]: The British version liked to mock the Conservative government of [[John Major]], while the American version liked to poke fun at both [[Bill Clinton]] and [[George W. Bush]].
* [[Acceptable Targets]]: The US version had a trend of hillbilly jokes. In the UK version though... it was Americans...
** At least during the first few UK seasons, which had a maximum of 1 American player on occasion (Archie Hahn and Ron West in particular). As time passed and more Americans were added (reaching a 3:1 ratio eventually), any jokes were either [[Self-Deprecation]] or followed by snarking at something British.
Line 54:
** A hoedown was done about game show hosts. Again, Drew became the host of [[The Price Is Right]], Wayne became the host of [[Let's Make a Deal]] and [[Don't Forget the Lyrics]], and Colin host the Candadian version of [[Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?]].
** During one such Hoedown about House Arrest. Colin says he's got a real easy parole officer. The parole officer is Charlie Sheen.
** Score one more for Greg: the first ever game of ''Sports Commentators'' had him in the role of one of the commentators. See [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] above. Bonus points for Rory, the other commentator, going into one of his obscure accents.
** When Jonathan Pryce guest starred in one episode from 1989, he played a [[Pirates of the Caribbean|pirate]] in Party Quirks.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-aqCNFiKM&feature=related "That was so nasty they wouldn't even post it on the internet...]" Indeed.
** one game of ''Hats'' involved Wayne wearing a [[George W. Bush]] mask, then sitting there gibbering like an idiot, and finally ''taking off his shoe and bonking his own head.''
*** Still on Wayne: the novelty of a black dude doing a convincing Scottish accent hasn't quite worn down, as ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' proves.
** Wayne going from Let's Make a Date to [[Let's Make a Deal]].
