| 3 | ''Funny Horsie'', as directed by the wonderful mind of [[Creator/{{Chriddof}} Michelle Lyons]], is one of Britain's most well-loved, yet obscure children's programmes. The programme takes a rather surreal, and downright bizarre approach to being informational, so much so that every company who produced an episode ended up declining to produce another. |

| 6 | !!This work provides examples of: |
| 7 | * CreditsGag: ''Every'' episode does this, but its often nonsense vaguely related to the content of the episode. And [[RunningGag Ken Morse with the Rostrum Camera.]] (Except on Episode 6, where he's replaced by Ben Dorse because Ken is still on strike) |
| 8 | * GuestHost: After an episode which [[RealLifeWritesThePlot causes the ITV network to go on strike]], episode 6 replaces Funny Horsie with [[ReplacementScrappy Funny Donkey]], who demonstrates {{spontaneous combustion}}. |
| 9 | * MindScrew: While the series itself is always a bit strange, things started getting downright bizarre beginning on Episode 9. |
| 10 | * OpeningNarration: Often includes naming the episode number, and saying what Funny Horsie is going to do. |
| 11 | * PrecisionFStrike: Episode 5: |
| 12 | -->'''Narrator''': Today, Funny Horsie offers his opinion on the state of modern television. |
| 13 | -->'''Funny Horsie''': ..({{Beat}}) Fucking unions. ''[cut to a test card]'' |
| 14 | * ShoutOut: Episode 5 and 6 make reference to the infamous ITV technicians' strike of 1979, caused apparently by said precision F-strike. |
| 15 | * SpotlightStealingSquad: Socky the Sock Puppet wants to teach kids about sharing and caring. Yet, the ''narrator'' is constantly interrupts him with a reminder that it is in fact, "EPISODE THREE." |
| 16 | * StationIdent[=/=]LogoJoke: The production company is different every time; including such ones as Television Southeasternwesternern, [[spoiler:Rape Productions (Not to be confused with Rape Vision, a charitable organization)]], Mrs. Thatcher Productions, Clowns TV Ltd., Bumarse (a parody of Thames), Television Television Television Television Television Vision (a parody of Tyne Tees), and Courtney Love Productions ("I MADE THIS.") |
