Noel responded to this by saying the writing process actually takes a lot of thought and drugs would want to make you do anything ''other'' than writing, and that he and Julian allegedly tried to write on acid once and just ended up staring at a spider on the floor for six hours.

* HollywoodHomely: Howard, generally played for laughs. Much is made of Howard's supposed unattractiveness, his "tiny eyes", thin hair, and apparently horrifying nude body. He's generally dressed in rumpled or tacky clothing and bad hair that makes him look worse than he really is. But in real life, Julian Barratt is quite a good looking man and has plenty of fangirls.

* ValuesResonance: While [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale certain]] [[{{blackface}} parts]] of the show haven't aged well, it does stand out among other shows of the era for never treating the HoYay between its main characters as a joke simply for involving two men, with a distinct lack of [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday "no homo"]] jokes. Vince also stands out as a non-traditionally masculine character whose androgyny is treated as merely another aspect of his character rather than something he should be mocked for. Considering many shows even today struggle to write characters without using gender stereotypes, Vince and Howard can feel refreshing to a modern viewer.
** In "Milky Joe", Precious Lilywhite hitting Howard is treated ''dead seriously'', with Vince showing serious concern, offering to speak to her and telling him it has to stop, while Howard pleads with Vince not to make it worse. Though the Milky Joe episode turns out to be AllJustADream, it's good to see that the show isn't giving into DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale and playing it for laughs.
