** Simon introducing Matt Baker as, 'saucy ex-Blue Peter stunner.' A bit gratuitous, no?
*** Then again, Simon quite often introduces the guests in a complimentary fashion, like when he called Fyfe Dangerfield 'all round lovely man', or Midge Ure 'sexy eighties hottie'.
** Boy George seemed to quite enjoy teasing original captain Sean Hughes when the former was [[IncrediblyLamePun playing for the latter's team]].
** In one episode with Roy Wood as a guest...
-->'''Phill''': "Roy Wood just mounted me! I didn't think that when I got up this morning -- 'Today I think I'll impersonate the Smiths whilst being mounted by a glam legend!'"
** Phill bending over and lets James Blunt mount and spank him.
** Oh, let's not forget the episode in which Danny Dyer was a guest, and proceeded to call Simon 'babe' every time he directly addressed him, provoking much giggling and coquettishness on the part of Simon.
** Heavily averted in this exchange between Donny Tourette and Simon:
--->'''Donny:''' The only reason I'm on the show is 'cause you told everyone you fancied me, dude!
--->'''Simon:''' It's not, it's 'cause we have difficulty booking people!
** There's a beautiful moment of this in Season 2 between Brian Molko and Music/BruceDickinson, greatly helped by the fact that Brian could easily be passed off as a beautiful, young Music/IronMaiden groupie.
--->'''Bruce:''' You're too young to remember this band. Go on, stick your thumb in your mouth.
--->'''Brian:''' ''(Obliges)'' Anything else you'd like me to stick in my mouth, while we're at it?
** And in that same episode, Brian cuddling up to Phil after the former made a jab at the latter's weight.
** Simon towards Danny from Mcfly. He had previously stated that Danny was his favourite member of Mcfly and then, when he was on the show, introduced him as a 'hunk', kept showing a picture of him performing naked, and acted like a spurned lover because they lost contact after their interview on Popworld.
** The episode wherein Simon and Phil mime 'No Air' in the absence of Bill Bailey kind of reeks of {{OT3}} [[invoked]]
*** And in the same episode, Mark Ronson giving Tim Minchin a lap dance.
** On his first ever appearance, Noel Fielding demonstrates spooning on Bill Bailey, who then commented how nice it was.
