-->''And to make it worse, it was plural!''

-->"I'm not saying he's a Nazi because he's German. I'm saying he's a Nazi [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment 'cos he is one.]]"
* ArtifactOfDeath:
-->"John. I've seen your face in the top of a muffin, mate. I'd stay indoors for a bit."

--> "It's like a never-ending spiral of possibilities!"

* BerserkButton: Bono. F'ckin-[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AShF4FQgag#t=1m37s BONO!?]]
-->"When's someone gonna turn round to Bono and go, "OI BONO! TAKE THOSE GLASSES OFF! YOU LOOK LIKE A '''TWAT'''!!! YOU'RE FROM ''IRELAND''! YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN ''OWN'' SUNGLASSES!!!"

--> "Everybody come quickly! This child is being bummed in the face!"
* BrickJoke: His ''Nonsensory Overload'' show had him reference his famous "meat-on-the-face" bit from Live at the Apollo from 2004. Said bit was in reference to [[Music/LadyGaga Lady Gaga's]] 'meat dress' and was given with no explanation whatsoever, making it quite a non-sequitur for a few people. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] immediately afterwards.
--> "That's one for the fans, you see."

* BrokenRecord: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnoc7A4FOeY Bummed in the Face]]!" ''Bummed in the face?'' Bummed in the face!

* CatchPhrase: Nothing in particular or "official", but there are certain phrases he says quite a bit. One notable example is "Shut your faces!" when people laugh while he's trying to say something serious (usually because it's so outlandish). For example, at one show shortly after the birth of his daughter, an audience member asked him what they named her. When he replied "Elf", the audience all laughed. "Oh, shut your faces!".

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: "My missus has to live with it ''all the time!''"

* DudeNotFunny: InUniverse. During ''Randomist'' Ross tells a story of how he made a joke about Live 8 on a radio interview and the listeners called in to complain.

* EndingFatigue: InUniverse and lampshaded: ''WHAT HAPPENED AT LIVE 8 ROSS?'' (''Randomist'')

** "They're like babies, but better!"
* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: The shitty wolf toy someone brought along in his Fizzy Logic DVD. "He shall be named Randy-Pan."
--> "And then you took the words right out of my mouth!/I was thinkin' about the shitty quality of the wolf./You won the wolf at a fairground?/It's clearly gonna burst into flames when you give it to a child."

* AGoodNameForARockBand: ''Fizzy Logic'' gives us Simian Artillery and The Latecomers. [[LifeImitatesArt Both of which are now actual bands.]]

--> "...AND HE WAS RIDING A GOLDEN DONKEY!"

--> "You've got a face like a bum, you've got a bum face."

* OffTheRails: Whenever he appears on ''Series/GoodNewsWeek'', he causes games to go off the rails, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwGrfC-ZVrU&feature=fvw usually with whatever toys the producers were stupid enough to give him.]]

-->'''Ross:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzykjslCcAw Fran! Do we need nappies?]]
-->'''Fran:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DfyQzEYoI8 No Ross, it's alright]] [[spoiler: The doctor says you don't have to wear them any more.]] You bloody idiot!
* OverlyLongGag: "Quick! This child is being bummed in the face!" "What?" "Bummed in the face! Help, this child is being bummed in the face!" "I can't understand a word you're saying!" "Bummed in the face!" "Bummed in the face you say?" This went on for about ten minutes.

-->"PISS IS GONNA COME OUT OF OUR EYES!!!" (''Randomist'')

* AccidentalPervert: On one of his Australian tours, Ross (who is a motorcycle fan) told a story about going to Philip Island to see the Superbike World Championship (often abbreviated to 'WSBK'. He texted his friend in the UK "Going to Philip Island for WSBK", only to get back a confusing message. When he reread his original text, he discovered that autocorrect had converted 'WSBK' to 'WANKS', presumably leading his friend to assume he has a bizarre sexual interest in penguins.

* OneOfUs: There is evidence. Like the night vision goggles he bought off ebay. And the references to ''Comicbook/GhostRider'', which flies over many of the audience's heads:
--> "No Ross, [[FanMyopia we don't know]]... we've all got lives and that."
** His Radio/GetThis appearances make this straight up fact. His knowledge of [=BritComs=] is on the same level as Tony Martin.

'''Ross Noble''' is an English comedian, but unlike any other. His ability to improvise, his [[CloudCuckooLander tendency to go off on strange, but relevant, tangents]] and the influence the audience has over him mean no two of his shows, even on the same tour, are alike. In the best possibly way, though, as there is a kind of surreal, stream-of-consciousness logic to what he says.

* InherentlyFunnyWords: Uses 'mofo's' and 'Fiddy' to their full comic effect parodying FiftyCent.

* ''Freewheeling'' - a British road trip series with members of the public instructing him where to go next via {{Twitter}}.

* LooksLikeJesus: In recent years, Ross has begun maintaining a beard, completing the look. Apparently, it came to a point that {{Creator/Amazon}} began confusing his DVD covers and suggested ''Series/JesusOfNazareth'' to those who buy his [=DVDs=][[note]]as he related in ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou''[[/note]].

* ''Stitches'' (film, starring role)

* MonsterClown: His character in Stitches is a zombie clown.

* AllGermansAreNazis: Subverted when he talks about the new [[ThePope Pope]], '''ZE CARDINAL!! RATZINGER!!!'''

** A common gag is Ross' inability to finish a story once he's stared it without getting distracted by something else.

* ItMakesSenseInContext: ...at least it will if you don't drift off and lose track of what he's saying. Or turn up late.

* MonsterClown: His character in ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqsObDUkMLM Stitches]]'' is a zombie clown.

** Or hijacking whatever toys they happened to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6P0xlo8zzY give the person sitting next to him.]] Granted, it was still stupid to give a big smokey hat to anyone remotely near Ross Noble.

* SorryBillyButYouJustDontHaveLegs: In one show of the ''Things'' tour, one of the tangents involved a StreetUrchin with rickets wanting to join ''Theatre/{{Riverdance}}''.

* ''HaveIGotNewsForYou''
* ''{{QI}}''
* ''GoodNewsWeek''

** He almost always starts shows with "Hello, hello, hello, are you all doing very ''well''?"
