* OnceOriginalNowCommon: While some of the show's jokes can seem rather slight to viewers now, and its success has paled in comparison to that of its spinoff ''Still Game,'' it was ''massive'' in Scotland when it originally aired, and was a major influence on several more recent successful Scottish sketch comedy shows such as ''Limmy's Show'' and ''Burnistoun.''

* CrossesTheLineTwice: A bus driver refusing to serve a passenger? Not funny. A bus driver being caught not only doing that but then running her over, all caught on camera by his boss, before managing to get out of trouble simply by saying "she smells of pish"? Warps around to being funny.
