* ExorcistHead: One early sketch has PPD trying to reach out to the usually unresponsive Raymond Barre, who suddenly begins to speak in a demonic voice with plenty shout-outs to ''Film/TheExorcist'', culminating with his head turning around 180 (which is easier to do in real-time with a puppet, of course).

Coyote) uses one in his scheme to catch the Chained Duck[[note]]named after a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Canard_enchaîné long-running French newspaper]][[/note]] (as the Roadrunner).

* ISophagus: A variation: in one [[https://www.facebook.com/GuignolsInfo/videos/1609135149136795 Fleur and Adèle sketch]], Fleur, after having a mental breakdown due to withdrawal from not being able to use her phone during a workout session, decides to eat it.
