%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* PandaingToTheAudience: The game 'Panda-monium', in which photographs of historical events are presented with a key figure replaced by a man in a panda suit. The panda also appears occasionally in games, doing something such as delivering the Endgame envelope or helping set up a magic window game.

* {{Zonk}}: During the Trust Me games, usually the prize was a food item relating to the game being played (for example, Josh's Grandmother recieved Corn Chips for Josh's correct answers when she played Human Nacho). Sometimes, though, the "reward" for getting the question right falls into this.
** In a season 3 playing of Human Celery Stick, Josh would recieve a stick of celery for every question that Paris Wells got right, and was ratched closer to being thrown into a large tub of yoghurt whenever he got one wrong. Josh said that he didn't like celery and given the choice between eating the celery or jumping into the yoghurt, he'd rather jump into the yoghurt. Shaun quipped that he couldn't rearrange it to be that way.

* LittleKnownFacts: Shaun prepares some "interesting" "facts" to share with the teams, claiming to source all his information from [[CriticalResearchFailure Wikipedia]].

** In the first, they dressed as pop culture characters from their generation: represented in the costumes were [[Music/TheCure Robert Smith]], Creator/MarilynMonroe, [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown, Marty McFly]], [[Music/MyChemicalRomance Gerard Way]], and Franchise/HarryPotter.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Shaun and the writers seem to have somewhat of a kinky side that they like to bring up on occasion:
** When giving the teams directions on making three piece suits, Shaun said that the reason for them making the suits was that he was going to The Hellfire Club and wanted an outfit that would turn a few heads. If you didn't know what it was you'd think it was some kind of nightclub - but in reality, it was a 90s underground S&M club in Melbourne.
** When giving the teams directions on dressing a shop window, Shaun mentioned that he was in Amsterdam on a holiday and was [[RedLightDistrict amazed by how lifelike the mannequins are in the windows of what he assumed were lingerie shops]] and would like something similar.
** Not so much kinky, but when introducting a playing of What's A Doodle Do, Shaun had this to say on it:
--> Shaun: "A little line here, another one there - no, it's not a Logies afterparty..."
** In the first episode of the revival, Shaun refers to "cracking a phial of amyl nitrate under the left nostril of the team's scoring potential", referring to poppers.
