History Podcast / PappysFlatshareSlamdown

** Averted in "Window", when guest Norman Lovett revealed he hates puns.

* LargeHam: Tom, at times. Taken UpToEleven with Fanshawe Standon.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Most of their guests have only made one appearance over the entirety of the podcast's run. So far, there have been over 55 guests in total to appear on the podcast.

* TwistedChristmas: Discussed in the 2015 Christmas special, when Joel Dommett mentions his [[YourCheatingHeart sister-in-law was cheating on his brother]], and how excited he was to film his brother catching his wife out.

* NotSoAboveItAll: "Rubbish" has [[{{UnexpectedCharacter}} Matthew appear in the Quick-Fire Round jingle]] to tell Tom and Ben that they would no longer be allowed to get away with the lengthy jingles. How does he tell them? By also singing along to the tune. This is particularly notable as the only jingle Matthew has ever participated in.

* LyricalDissonance: The jingle for Round One in "Sweep The Chimney" is a parody of Music/{{Blur}}'s "Parklife". The spoken verses are about the history of the chimney and the terrible conditions that chimney sweeps used to face, all spoken over upbeat music. Even the "chimney" interjections are spoken with [[LampshadeHanging less enthusiasm the longer the song goes on]].

* OneSteveLimit: Averted in "TV Remote", when guest Tom Allen appeared on Tom Parry's team.

* BritishBrevity: The first two series had 6 episodes; and from the third series onwards, there have only been 4 per series. Including the 4 specials, 30 episodes have been released altogether.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Holly Burn, when she guested in "Music Festival".

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: There's a few examples in series 1.
** Matthew (jokingly) shows notable anger at the length of the Quick-Fire Round jingle, even once going as far as throwing water over Tom because of it. He has since mellowed, but sometimes still makes the odd joke that there's no time left for the actual round.
** At the end of the Beef Brothers round, whoever had their argument read out would win "[[Series/{{BlanketyBlank}} a chequebook and]] [[{{StealthPun}} Ben]]", and have a chance to do some strange activity with Tom related to that episode's theme.

* IncrediblyLongNote: The long, drawn-out note is a staple of the Quick-Fire Round jingles, bar most of the series 2 ones. This was taken to extremes in "Rubbish", when they invited a trained opera singer to participate in that jingle.

* NotSoAboveItAll: "Rubbish" has [[spoiler: [[{{UnexpectedCharacter}} Matthew appear in the Quick-Fire Round jingle]] to tell Tom and Ben that they would no longer be allowed to get away with the lengthy jingles.

* OverlyLongGag: The whole point of the Quick-Fire Round jingle. It is generally so long that panellists have been known to use it as a toilet break.
** Averted for most of series 2, when Matthew imposed a 20 second length limit. The limit was removed for episode 6.

* PungeonMaster: Matthew, Tom, and Ben all fall into this trope at times.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Nick Helm's attempt at a Dudley accent in "Party" qualifies.

* SoaplandChristmas: Discussed in the 2015 Christmas special, when Joel Dommett mentions his [[YourCheatingHeart sister-in-law was cheating on his brother]], and how excited he was to film his brother catching his wife out.

The podcast was first published in 2011. There have been 5 series, and 4 specials. From 2016 onwards, a new episode is due to be released on the first of each month.

* ChristmasEpisode: There have been three Christmas specials; 2011, 2013, and 2015.

-->'''Matthew:''' This week, we are playing our version of a classic game from our childhoods. It's our take on Malice Mallet [...] we're using marshmallows in a game we call Marsh Mallet Mallet. Here is how we play. It's a word association game where you musn't pause, you musn't hesitate, but to make it harder, for every correct word you say, you have to put a marshmallow in your mouth.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[invoked]] InUniverse example. In "Caravan Holiday", it's discussed that Round One was almost called "You're So Caravain You Probably Think This Song Is About You". Tom and his teammate James Acaster then briefly play out that round, which is then constantly [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] as the better Round One instead of "Caravantiques Show".
