1* JerkassWoobie: Alan in the final episode of Season 2, although heavily debatable. He's still a complete idiot, but nearly everyone is making offhand remarks about his book being destroyed, he's told he hasn't bounced back at all, and he's seemingly starting to have ''another'' breakdown. Even the funny anecdote regarding Creator/PeterPurves at the end of Season 2 feels like him clinging to the last traces of his own self-worth.
2* MemeticMutation - the {{One Liner}}s. Oh, the {{One Liner}}s.
3** ''Film/JurassicPark''!
4** Cashback!
5** Back of the net!
6** Kiss my face!
7** Spiceworld!
8** Smell my cheese! [[note]]YOU MOTHER![[/note]]
9** Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! (this only works if you have a friend called "Dan", obviously)
10** Needless to say, I had the last laugh.
11** ... Monkey Tennis? (Crops up regularly to this day on the chatboards of [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers the Guardian,]] especially when horrible television is being discussed.)
12* SecondSeasonDownfall: The second season went overboard on the sitcommy elements, particularly Alan's Ukrainian girlfriend Sonja, and whilst the first season could have you feeling sorry for Alan, the second made him wholly self-centered and unlikeable. The travel tavern in the first series was a much better setting than the caravan, because it allowed Alan to interact with more characters. The second series is certainly watchable, just a step down.
13* TheWoobie: Lynn, especially in Season 2.
