* TheWoobie: A number of the characters, but possibly Cheesoid is the biggest one. Created to identify smells, it ends up just barely being able to identify cheese and petrol, frequently getting them mixed up and even mispronouncing "petrol" as "petril."

** One sketch had David [[RealDreamsAreWeirder dreaming about being married]] to actress KeeleyHawes - in 2013, he starred in the Creator/{{BBC}}2 series ''Ambassadors'', with Keeley playing his character's wife
** The Dead British Actors sketch (in which two feuding actors play Holmes and Watson, by alternating roles each night) is hilarious now given Danny Boyle's stage production of Frankenstein has the same setup between Victor and the Creature.

Added DiffLines:

** "The Quiz Show"'s RunningGag of post-apocalyptic survivors trying at all costs to avoid remembering "the event" becomes downright hilarious in the wake of the failed American sci-fi drama ''Series/TheEvent'', which had a marketing campaign that revolved entirely around obfuscating what the titular event is, and was also a massive disaster.

** The OrphanedPunchline about Jimmy Savile receiving three life sentences. "You think you know a guy, and then..." Although, considering that it was allegedly an open secret at the BBC, it may have been a deliberate (if slightly sick) InJoke that "got out".

** Also, during the Cheesoid sketch, about an expert soup chef who loses his sense of smell. The chef has his copy of [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/Perfume?from=Main.Perfume Perfume]] stolen, a book about a character with an overwhelming obsession with the sense of smell.

* HarsherInHindsight: ''Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit'', about a duo of superheroes with vastly different power levels and the tension this creates, is a rather apt metaphor for Mitchell (Angel Summoner) and Webb's (BMX Bandit) later careers.
-->'''BMX Bandit''': Your ability summon a horde of celestial superbeings at will is making my BMX skills a bit...redundant.
