* It is a testament to how insane the village is when the winning Dibley carol is Jim's "Praise the Lord, He's coming down the birth canal!". And it is actually performed by the church choir. "Look, the madonna is fuuuuuully dilaaated!"

** [[TerribleIntervieweesMontage The other songs deserve a mention,]] like Owen's entry:
--->"''Jesus was born on Christmas day''
--->''Hallelujah, hallelujah''
--->''But he never got his end away''
--->''Hallelujah.''"
** And Frank's entry, which has 108 verses, one of which presumably sets the tone for what he considers a controversial thesis:
--->"''Praise the lord''
--->''But hold on to your hat''
--->''Jesus Christ was born a cat.''"

Added DiffLines:

* When Frank suggests that as the Wise Men they ought to be helping, Jim counters that they are the Kings--and "most kings are braindead, inbred cretins."


Added DiffLines:

* Hugo and Alice make everyone speak by signboard while Baby Geraldine is asleep. Frank inquires if anyone saw Eastenders last night. Jim's board reads "NO NO NO NO NO"... and then he flips it over to "YES".

* At Hugo and Alice's wedding, a woman shows up to [[SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace interrupt the ceremony at a crucial moment]], claiming that "the groom is already married". [[spoiler: Turns out she came to the wrong church.]]
** The best part is the stunned look on everyone's faces during her annountment and then afterward their expressions as they recover from the tense moment. As well as Hugo pulling Alice off the floor.

However, it turns out that [[spoiler:Letitia]] asked David to do the same. And every other member of the Parish Council too, in fact.

* The entire discussion about replacing the stained glass window in the church, due mainly to the fact that ''no one'' could remember or identify what the picture in the old window was. The suggestions get more and more outlandish, in particular when someone suggests that the picture had both Moses and St. Barnabus of Wolverhampton, leading Geraldine to tell them they're getting "close to the outskirts of Looney Land here." It culminates in David saying that it was the Sermon on the Mount, to which Hugo adds that it showed Jesus delivering it from a boat. Or possibly an enormous boat-shaped cigar. "Ding ding ding, everybody off, Looney Land City Centre!" [[spoiler:For the record, it was Noah's Ark, so Hugo was at least right about the boat]].
** “St Barnabus went into the library in Wolverhampton...”

* In the first of the 2020 Lockdown shorts, Geraldine tries to inform Jim that when he sees a sign telling him to stay 2m away from other people, the 'm' stands for ''metres'', not ''miles'' - then admits that he probably isn't watching her video as he's been hiding in the woods for two weeks.
