* EnfantTerrible: His original series self behaves like an evil boss, keeping piranhas and being cruel to Edward and Charles. He even plots to murder (or at the very least send away) Harry when he is born.

Added DiffLines:

* BookDumb: He tries to address his education seriously, but thinks 3 A-levels plus another equals 5, and can't spell thesis.

Added DiffLines:

* TheBore: He's so boring and lame that his audience are paid to laugh at his jokes.

Added DiffLines:

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Once argues with Ian MacGregor over who invented the Davy lamp. As a miner you'd think he'd know the answer - but no, he thinks it's Davy Jones.

* ThirdPersonPerson: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Not all the time, but he often ends sentences with 'said the [adjective] writer/politician' along with some detail of his personal life, as if he was one of his characters.

Added DiffLines:

* Invisibility: Portrayed as the invisible man, in reference to his position as Employment Secretary during a time of high unemployment. According to Brittan, he went invisible "at the same time as Kate Bush".

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's portrayed as quite dim and childish in the show, but he's also obsessed with nukes and could blow up the world anytime. There are even some moments where he's implied to be [[TheManBehindTheMan controlling Margaret Thatcher]].
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Those turkeys"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thanks to his senility.
* CraniumCompartment: He is able to store things in his head such as ice cream.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: One sketch had him not dressing up for Halloween, because "I'm a senile old guy with his finger on the button. I couldn't think of anything scarier."
* ScatterbrainedSenior: He's an old man who obviously doesn't have all his marbles. Even he admits he's senile.

David Owen tropes

Added DiffLines:

* CommutingOnABus: Appeared much less frequently when Chris Barrie (his voice actor) left to become Rimmer on Series/RedDwarf.
* DancingRoyalty: In the Commons of House sketch, he's a really nifty dancer (portrayed by a real person wearing a David Owen mask).

Added DiffLines:

* NoOneShouldSurviveThat: One sketch where David Steel was threatened with being melted down due to lack of relevancy has David Owen get thrown into the melter. As you probably guessed, he appeared absolutely fine in the next episode.
* PutOnABus: Eventually stopped appearing when the SDP merged with the Liberals, since he wanted nothing to do with it and his new SDP failed to get any seats in the next election.
* RealityWarper: Downplayed, but sometimes you can see him being on both benches of the House of Commons in the same sketch.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: Occasionally David would be placed in a role that would make no sense if he was playing himself (for example, being Hestletine's butler in the Blonde Man sketches).

* PutOnABus: After his failed attempt to become leader of the Conservative Party after Thatcher resigned, he disappeared for a while.
