* AerithAndBob: Due to most characters having [[UnfortunateNames utterly absurd names]] consisting of InherentlyFunnyWords, Chris Morris's role as TheDanza can come across like this when compared to ridiculously named characters such as "Peter O'Hanraha-Hanrahan" and "Spartacus Mills".

* CatchPhrase: Alan's forced, wooden and utterly unconvincing "I'm Alan Partridge!" which of course went onto become the title of [[Series/ImAlanPartridge his own spin-off show]].

* CrapsackWorld: Set in contemporary Britain, where bombdogs are set off by the IRA, dentists are forced into illegal, backdoor operations on the streets, motorways collide with each other and the Queen and the Prime Minister have a massive fight at Buckingham Palace[[note]]Not an argument, an actual fist fight[[/note]]. Subverted in episode 3 during the fight between John Major and the Queen, when the Government interrupts all TV channels to play a special crisis propaganda video. The video depicts lawyers and businessmen skipping and playing hide and seek, police officers smoking marijuana with the general public and small children with lighters rushing to a man's aid to light his cigarette, effectively portraying Britain as [[CloudCuckooLander Cloud Cuckoo Land]].
