The end of each show Tony would sign off with a phrase or soundbite from the show that tickled his asbestos plum hammock.

* BestedAtBowling: or at table tennis, as the case turned out to be.

* DeadAir: Certainly not usually a problem, but referred to and played with. Tony speculated what Triple M's emergency broadcast song was (claiming it used to be

* ApologisesALot: One of Richard's defining traits, occasionally lampshaded by his co-hosts and various guests.

-->Richard: Well, I'm patriotic on the inside and the outside...If you could all be upstanding when I enter the room, as well...

** An example in Podcast 107 was when the higher-ups at Triple M criticized them for not generating enough "watercooler talk", this only resulted in several sketches involving two blokes standing around discussing an actual water cooler.

* CannotTellAJoke: Ed can tell jokes, but many of his own sketches were ruined by his own lack of organisation and planning, and turned out being funnier in 'ruined' form than if they had gone according to plan.

->''This is dizzy stuff, folks.''

->''Brought to you by those thugs in the scallop industry.''

* TheOtherWiki: When Tony and Ed learned of the rampant Wiki vandalisation that was happening on the ''Get This'' page, they were delighted and encouraged all their listeners to get in on the act. It even spread to other, vaguely related pages, such as people editing Karl Stefanovic's page to say he's a robot, replace his picture with that of [[StarWars C-3PO]] or suggest that he has been subject to a product recall. As of December 2014, ''said article remains locked explicitly to prevent this type of vandalism.''

* {{Defictionalization}}: ''[[http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/tv-radio/stars-prepare-to-be-buried-alive/story-e6frf9ho-1226080932695 Shaft of Hope]]''.

* EditedForSyndication: When the show expanded into a two-hour format in 2007, Triple M Adelaide continued to broadcast only the first hour, with all mentions of upcoming guests in the second hour edited out.
* ExecutiveMeddling: The hosts often discussed, on-air, notes and "suggestions" the higher-ups tried to give them.

* FakeBrit: One of the funniest parts of Ooh Me Plums (Besides the whole Groin injuries in polite society thing).
** Ed often points out that Tony always sings in a fake British accent.

* FanNickname: Ricky M, Armitage Shanks, Dick Bar, Marslando Calrissian... the amount was insane (and encouraged by Ed) for Richard, here's a [[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Richard_Marsland#The_Many_Nicknames_of_Richard_Marsland list]] (that only starts scraping the surface)
* FollowUpFailure
* GrandFinale: In which many of the previous co-hosts returned, Matty D finally made an appearance, and producer Nikki Hamilton called in from the maternity ward after giving birth twenty minutes ago.
** DeadlyDIstantFinale: A tragically true example. The podcast was rereleased in 2008 with a new final episode: the Richard Marsland Lives Podcast, in which Tony and Ed replayed some of recently-deceased Richard's greatest jokes and sketches and gave a very heartfelt tribute to the late Ricky M.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The only way people can listen to the show nowadays, and in two forms. The podcast archive was Triple M kept online for a few years as "Get This: Richard Marsland Lives" in tribute to the late Ricky M, but it's since been taken down. There are also complete recordings of every single episode that have been floating around the internet since before the show's cancellation.

* OldShame: ''Meat Pie'', for Ed.
** Tony often refers to ''Bad Eggs'', the film he directed, in this manner.
* OneOfUs: Tony, Ed and Richard, most definitely. Listen to their nerd-outs when RichardEGrant and WillArnett are the guest hosts.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork

* CatchPhrase:

''Get This'' was an Australian Radio show that aired on the Triple M network from 2006 to 2007, first as a one hour show and then being upgraded to two hours. The show was hosted by Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee, with Richard Marsland on the buttons, and each episode features a guest host (only for the second hour during 2007). Despite growing in popularity and increasing {{ratings}}, the show was axed at the end of 2007 making it TooGoodToLast.

The show was known for the strong chemistry between the regulars, the nerdy tangents and the sketches, which ranged from Tony's well-produced bits about current political issues and BritCom parodies to Ed's shambolic productions such as "Donkey Courtroom" and "Man With a Box of Killer Bees". Many of the clips and sketches spawned {{CatchPhrase}}s and {{MemeticMutation}}s that were referenced frequently, both in the show and by the fanbase.

-->Tony: Travolta, most suspicious hair. Cage, second most suspcious.
-->Ed: But Cage's is pretty funny. You know, it's getting to the point where it's "hehehe..."
-->Tony: And he'll often just wear a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Mokbel Mokbel]] for a whole movie. ''National Treasure'', what was going on there?

* GrandFinale

* ThatWasNotADream: usually Ed and often Tony, reflecting on another sketch-gone-horribly-wrong.

* CultClassic

* EarWorm: All of the songs sung (and then repeated ad neusem at Ed and Richard's expense).
** Nights in white satin, never reaaaaaaaaching the end, something or rather, something else.
*** The Vengabus is coming and everybody's running from north to south Ibiza, in the Mediterrainian suuuuun.
**** Your body is a wonderland...
***** Flowers, flowers drifting by the paa-aaane! In mah dreams, so sweet, flowers red, blue and piii-iink!
****** I'm with me wiiii-ife, but nobody knows who I am so I'm the papers pretending to like foot-baaaaaall.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In one 2007 show, Richard Marsland makes fun of newsreader Charmaine Dragun's unusual name. Both Marsland and Dragun have since fallen victim to depression and committed suicide.
** Also, any reference Richard made to his own death. A particularly uncomfortable example is when he quipped that the "In Memoriam" segment of the 2007 Logies went on so long that he started expecting to see his own name come up. Sadly, that came true just two years later.
*** Unfortunately this comes up a lot with Ricky M. The "I'm an Iced Coffee powered suicide machine" line from the Police Ten 7 sketch and Richard saying that he would like to have kids at some stage.
*** Exactly 12 minutes into Podcast 52, Tony plays the sound of a heavy rain storm and taunts "How do you like that, Brisbane?" Cue the Queensland floods of 2011, where Brisbane was massively devistated.

* MemeticMutation:

''Get This'' was an Australian Radio show that aired on the Triple M network from 2006 to 2007. It started off as a 1 hour show but was upgraded to 2 hours in 2007. The show was hosted by Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee (with Richard Marsland on the buttons). A guest host came in each day (only for the 2nd hour during '07). Despite the show growing in popularity and increasing {{ratings}}, the show was axed at the end of 2007 making it TooGoodToLast.

The show was known for it's regular radio sketches usually of a topical nature concerning things ranging from political issues to parodies of {{BritCom}}s. Many of which spawned {{CatchPhrase}}s which often get repeated during discussion on the show or even developing MemeticMutation and reoccuring in subsequent sketches and used for quick sound bites that regularly punctuated jokes told by people on the show.

* Ratings
* RecapEpisode: Often the episode after a time slot change will be filled with explanations of why people are suddenly yelling Assault! Assault! on air.

'''Customer''': You knew what you were getting into when you saw the ad.

-->Salesman: See this lovely Mitsubishi.
-->Customer: Er that's a pony.
-->Tony: You knew what you were getting into when you saw the ad.
