History YMMV / NeverMindTheBuzzcocks

** In a 1999 episode, it was brought up that Sean had a cameo in Terrvision's "Tequila" video when the lead singer was a guest. A lot of the video's YouTube comments now lament the cruel irony that Sean appeared in a music video celebrating an alcoholic drink considering that he was suffering from cirrhosis of the liver when he died.

* In a 1999 episode, it was brought up that Sean had a cameo in Terrvision's "Tequila" video when the lead singer was a guest. Quite awkward to think he appeared in a music video celebrating an alcoholic drink considering that Sean was suffering from cirrhosis of the liver when he died.

* TooSoon: During the Indecipherable Lyrics round in series 2 episode 3, guest Richard Fairbrass of Right Said Fred said [[EltonJohn "goodbye England's rose?"]], only a month after Diana's fatal crash. After the predictable groans from the audience, Mark went on to joke that the show was now cancelled.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Athelston Williams aka "Number Three", a catatonic-looking black man who achieved MemeticMutation after memorably appearing in the identity lineup, and then became a recurring figure. Seriously, he was busy one week ''and they got a stand-in''.

* EarWorm: "Music/{{Moby}}, Moby, Moby, Moby, Michael Stipe..."

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Inevitable, as the show spanned three decades, and would feature famous musicians and TV personalities of the time.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Natural as the show spanned three decades, and would feature musicians and TV personalities of the time.

** In series 3 episode 6, Sean's team was made to pick out a member of Brotherhood of Man, and Sean commented that one of the lineup was "showbiz, in a Butlins kind of way". Mark then joked that his comment would be funny "in 20 years time when you're playing at Butlins". This episode was made in 1998, Sean would pass away 19 years later in 2017.

** Cut straight to a shot of a smiling Ian Watkins of Music/{{Lostprophets}}...

* FoeYay:
** This may have been what Donny Tourette ''thought'' was going on between him and Simon on his appearance.
** Music/BoyGeorge came across as this towards Mark Lamarr on his appearance.
** In season seven, episode four, Phill jokingly refers to Mel B's and Mark Lamarr's excessive bantering as this:
---> '''Phill''': Would you two please just have sex and get it over with!

* EarWorm: "Moby, Moby, Moby, Moby, Michael Stipe..."

* HilariousInHindsight: Simon's first appearance as a guest has Mark jokingly accuse him of "stealing his act" and Simon, at one point, refers to Mark as "daddy".
** When Noel Fielding first went on the show as a guest, he commented that the intros round was his favourite bit of the show. Not too long later, when he's captaining, which round can he never bring himself to do properly?

** The episode wherein Simon and Phil mime 'No Air' in the absence of Bill Bailey kind of reeks of {{OT3}} [[invoked]]

** Geri Halliwell. A RunningGag about her being older than the other Spice Girls was taken UpToEleven, with jokes about her being around in TheThirties and so forth.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Following Amy Winehouse's death at 27, her appearance in series 19 episode 4 has become this.

** Boy George came across as this towards Mark Lamarr on his appearance.

** Also, Phill and Simon. Also also, Simon and Stephen Fry, to the extent that Phill at one point called Stephen Simon's "boyfriend", and Simon asked Phill not to "mock [their] intellectual Greek love". All in jest, of course.
** Simon introducing Matt Baker as, 'saucy ex-Blue Peter stunner.' A bit gratuitous, no?

** And JoshGroban.
** And RussellBrand. [[CampStraight But that's only to be expected.]]

** In the '99 ChristmasEpisode, one of the lineups was a bunch of cardboard cut-outs of rappers, with the question being who ''hadn't'' been shot. The team (Phill's) was given a toy gun to shoot at who they thought the answer was ("so he feels like a success"). To make things even worse, among the line-up was ''TheNotoriousBIG and TupacShakur''. Again, this was in 199'''''[[TooSoon 9]]'''''.

* BrokenBase: By series 25, the fandom couldn't decide whether there was new life in the show with the latest reboot or if it was time to let it die. Some fans started thinking this when Mark Lamarr or BillBailey left.

* DudeNotFunny: Some of the jokes, as well as jabs/insults towards the guests, could be considered this; especially if they hadn't really done anything to deserve it.

* DudeNotFunny: Some of the jokes, as well as jabs/insults towards the guests, could be considered this.

** There are quite a few celebrity guests, like Donny Tourette, Dappy and Preston, remembered more for their ''NMTB'' appearances than anything else they've done in their careers.

** In series thirteen, episode one, panelist Huey Morgan, amongst all the laughter, said "This is such a great show." [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere He doesn't seem to think so, ten years later.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: When Simon was a guest years before he became host, Mark jokingly accused him of "stealing his act" and Simon referred to Mark as "daddy".

** Though practically every panelist or artist gets some stick at some point, boybands and manufactured groups are particularly susceptible -- Blue and Westlife to name a couple.

* BrokenBase: By the 25th series, the fandom couldn't decide whether there was new life in the show with the latest reboot or if it was time to let it die. Some fans started thinking this when Mark Lamarr or BillBailey left.

* DudeNotFunny: Some of the jokes, as well as jabs/insults towards the guests, could be seen as this.

** Amstell also did this in the first episode he hosted, saying that with a new opening and a new host, there could be only one possible outcome: "Welcome to the ''last'' series of ''Series/NeverMindTheBuzzcocks''!" This was also a reference to just that happening to ''They Think It's All Over'' when Creator/LeeMack took over as host.

* AcceptableTargets: Primarily boybands and manufactured groups, though everyone got some stick at some point. In particular, Blue, Westlife and Chris de Burgh got a lot of bile.

** Also, the captains and hosts were acceptable targets, for being fat (Phill), bizarre (Bill), from Swindon (Mark), completely insane (Noel), Irish/tactiturn (Sean) or Welsh (Rhod).
* {{Adorkable}}: Many guests over the course of the series, but Mark Ronson clearly stands out.
* BrokenBase: As of series 25, fandom can't decide whether there's new life in the show with the latest reboot or if it's time to let it die. Some fans started thinking this when Mark Lamarr left. And again when BillBailey left.
** The host issue: Some fans want Lamarr back. Others want Amstell back. Others don't care who, they just think the show is funnier with a permanent host -- an answer may have come in the form of Rhod Gilbert.

* [[WTHCastingAgency WTH Booking Agency]]: Some of the choices of guest host post-Amstell are attracting this criticism (particularly David Hasselhoff).

** Also, the captains and hosts were acceptable targets, for being fat (Phill), bizarre (Bill), from Swindon (Mark), completely insane (Noel) or Irish/tactiturn (Sean).
