| 1 | * In the very first episode, Brian (one of Creator/PeterKay's characters) realizes that the band are singing a song with very UnfortunateImplications: [[invoked]] |
| 2 | -->'''Brian:''' See, nothing offensive, nothing blue.\ |
| 3 | '''Journalist:''' No, just racist.\ |
| 4 | ''[The band launch into the chorus of their song, which goes "send the buggers back"; realization dawns]''\ |
| 5 | '''Brian:''' ''Get 'em off!'' |
| 6 | * When Brian turns an outdoor toilet into a childrens' play area, complete with dirty urinals and a climbing frame made out of scaffolding. |
| 7 | ** "''Was'' a condom machine, Jerry, ''was'' a condom machine! Now it does penny chews, tenpence apiece!" |
| 8 | * Also, Keith Lard the fire inspector (also played by Peter Kay) - an overzealous ObstructiveBureaucrat whose [[{{Squick}} inappropriate relationships with dogs]] are an open secret, though he was cleared by the police investigation.

| 16 | * The ''Film/DasBoot'' fruit machine is funny the first time it appears, in the first episode. It [[IncrediblyLamePun resurfaces]] [[BrickJoke at the beginning of the second episode]]. During the Captain's wake, someone wins the jackpot and it starts playing ''Deutschland über Alles'' at full volume complete with a digital voice yelling [[GratuitousGerman "Achtung, das Jackpot!"]] ''immediately after one of the Captain's friends recounted a [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII war story.]]'' |
