*** “Why are them Jamaican fellas swinging fish around their heads?” – Detrout Spinners.
*** “The Jamaican fella would love to live there but it’s a bit pricey” – [Music/DireStraits Dear Streets]]. Gives another great reaction from Ricky.
-->'''Ricky:''' Dear Streets, is that a band?
-->'''Karl:''' It’s Dire Straits –
-->'''Ricky:''' NO IT’S NOT DIRE STRAITS! It’s not Dire Straits!
** Karl’s mam tried her hand at some Rockbusters but didn’t quite get the hang of them, with many of the clues not really being cryptic (“Hope you’re not speeding when you meet this people” – The Police, “This band would be good at doing your hair” – The Platters). The nadir though has to be “This man liked his wine” being ''Dean Martin''.
** The Scouse fella being surprised at a robber in his vineyard being Ay! Me Winehouse! Ricky opines that the answer ought to instead be “Ay! Get Out Me Winehouse!”
** Perhaps nothing tops the show on June 21st 2003. Arguably the worst (and subsequently funniest) batch of Rockbusters of all time.
*** Firstly, “If you go to France by boat, you should buy your fags there because they’ll be a lot cheaper” being Buy On Ferry. Ricky wondered what Karl’s first language was.
*** Then there was “That foreign café’s selling its own steak” – Deli Meat Tree. Karl’s resignation at how crap this one was shows.
-->'''Karl:''' An’ meat tree an’ that…
**** Adding insult to injury was that he said the initial for the band was D instead of DA.
*** Capping it all was the glorious return of the Jamaican fella – if the Jamaican fella was on the Titanic he might have yelled “Christ! De berg!”

* Karl tells a story about how he likes to look out his kitchen window while he's washing his dishes at night and how one time he happened to lock eyes with the woman living across the street from him while she was walking in front of her window naked. Karl's idea to make it seem less weird is to even things up by mooning her, so now she's seen some of him too. He even just calmly explains what he's doing when his girlfriend finds him like this.

* In the animated series, one of Karl's diary segments mentions him watching a documentary on UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler with Suzanne. The animation for the documentary consists of Hitler shouting and repeatedly making fascist salutes, but the [[FunWithSubtitles subtitles]] reveal that he is actually talking about the launch of the Volkswagen Beetle.
