* TokenBlack: One sketch had Series/MidsomerMurders seek to imporve their diversity by taking on a Black Detective. However, the script reading (where the Black Person's sole role is for Barnaby to ask for his phone charger) suggests that this trope is in play.

* FourOneNineScam: An early sketch has a student receive one of these and deleting them. This trope is then {{Subverted}} when we see that the Nigerian Prince is real and genuinely needs help with the gold transfer.

* StylisticSuck: The films made by Fantastic Egusi Films, which have the characters imposed (very) poorly over the background. The commentary insists that the technology is state of the art however.

!!This Show has the Following Tropes:
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: The first sketch of the series has a group of astronauts about to release an alien. One of them is concerned that he will get eaten first, since he is Black. Then we see that the rest of the group are also Black. One of them also point the lack of logic in an alien eating them in order of skin colour.
