** To elaborate a bit, Thornton is written by Garth in a way that's clearly supposed to evoke [[DaChief ball-busting, hammy police chiefs]] in action movies, the sort of role you'd expect to be played by a burly, imposing actor with a deep, commanding voice and lots of charisma... none of which applies to Richard Ayoade. Basically, imagine your typical Creator/SamuelLJackson movie, but replace Jackson with the nerdiest, scrawniest, most white-bread and non-intimidating person you could possibly find and you've got an idea of what Dean Learner's "depiction of the truth" is like .




to:

* The various [[LittlestCancerPatient cute sick kids with comically horrible diseases]] Garth is shown caring for, especially the one who's apparently in the hospital because he's a crack addict.
* The way that [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything the "doctors" act more like cops]]. What, your doctor doesn't carry a gun into the office when they do your checkup?





to:

\n** The lead-up to it is pretty hysterical itself:
-->'''Dagless''': Larry?
-->(''Renwick graphically explodes into LudicrousGibs, coating the room in gore'')
-->'''Dagless''': [[AskAStupidQuestion Are you alright?]]
** As Thornton gets on Dag's case for his use of the shovel, he's holding it. The script, however, calls for him to crush a paper cup out of anger, so the shovel randomly disappears in one shot and is wordlessly replaced with a cup to crush, after which the shovel is back.
* As the scene at Renwick's funeral ends, Thornton comforts a visibly affected Liz in the background... and as he does so, one can see Dean Learner taking the opportunity to grope Madeline Wool's ass. At the same time, [[StyrofoamRocks a gravestone nearby can be seen wobbling in the wind]].
* "I believe that no living thing, be it human, animal or plant, should be hurt in the making of a TV show. So I personally feel very bad about that cat we killed."






to:

\n** The Chef has to bend his knees to duck under doorways because the set designer apparently didn't account for his height.
** After chewing out Liz, the Chef turns to walk away, pauses, and then turns back and slaps Liz's tray out of her hands before turning and walking away again.
* The Temp's dying speech, which quickly turns out to just be a skimpy rewrite of the research Garth did to justify the character's accent, resulting in Dag and the Temp spending the latter's final moments on Earth giving a grade-school lesson about Bermuda's relation to the UK.
* Liz's actions in the episode are revealed to be because [[MenstrualMenace she was on the rag]]. And Dag's solution to the whole crisis is to ''lobotomize'' her to get her back under control. In case it isn't apparent yet, [[{{Understatement}} Garth has some very big problems with women]].





to:

\n* Dag naming the eye-child after his dead son, resulting in him having to repeatedly clarify which Skipper he's talking about in an aversion of OneSteveLimit. Than the end of the episode reveals that both character are named after Garth's ''dog''.
* As Dag flees from the hospital staff, Thornton suddenly shouts - in a very poorly dubbed in line - "WATCH OUT HE'S GOT A STICK" to try and explain why Dag gets a stick in the next scene despite not having it before.





to:

\n* The apes' tainting of the water apparently involves their leader pissing in it.
* At the end of the episode, the characters have to give an extremely fast and awkward {{Infodump}} to explain what the hell has even been happening, something that was very obviously dubbed in in post.
* The lengthy discussions about all the different types of "[[UnfortunateNames Homos]]" (they're referring to the genus of animals that includes humans).
-->"But if we're all basically homos, shouldn't we get along?"





to:

\n* The [[BlatantLies incredibly bad]] attempts by Garth and Dean to insist that the episode isn't racist towards Scottish people.
* Garth and Sanch stopping dead in the middle of the episode [[MerchandiseDriven to give an advertising pitch for batteries]].
* The hilariously awful sex scene at the start, if it can even be called that, acted out by two extras who very clearly could not give less of a shit. "[[DullSurprise Let's do it here, I'm really horny.]]"

** Adding to it is the fact that he uses several curse words that would sound intimidating if his acting matched the character. However, the fact that the actor uses a deeper version of Ayoade's [[{{Series/TheITCrowd}} Maurice Moss]] voice makes any would-be tough lines fall so flat to hilariously-awkward effect.
