Line #3 YMMV/TheFastShow


1	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
2	** The Competitive Dad's son defending him against his own abusive father, who then storms out. Looks like it's going to be an inversion, as the Dad begins to berate his son, waiting until his father is out of earshot before breaking down and hugging him out of pride. (This gets a huge round of applause from the studio audience.)
3	** Several of the Ted and Ralph sketches, possibly due to Ralph very much being TheWoobie. A notable example is in the final episode, when (a very, very drunk) Ralph sings Elvis's ''Burning Love'' to Ted in the middle of the latter's [[MyLocal local]]. Despite Ted's friends pointing and laughing at the hilarity of a Lord trying to sing karoke, Ted can't help smiling fondly.
4	%%* FountainOfMemes
5	* RetroactiveRecognition: Mark Williams now perhaps better known (especially abroad) for playing Mr Weasley in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' movie franchise, and Caroline Aherne for appearing in ''Series/TheRoyleFamily''. Paul Whitehouse was already well-known for working with Harry Enfield. Also, there's Colin [=McFarlane=], who went on to play Commissioner Loeb in ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL_OpQQA28w One sketch]] even features a young Music/AmyWinehouse.
6	** Warwick Davis features in a Chanel 9 sketch, and although he's had a fair few roles, will be most familiar to modern audiences for his appearances in Series 3 of An Idiot Abroad, as well as the show Life's Too Short.
7	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The track performed by Music/{{Jamiroquai}} expy Jeremy Kwee on his episode of Jazz Club is obviously based on "Stillness In Time", albeit with lyrics that relate to the Travelling Without Moving period (where Jay Kay dropped the pretense of caring about the environment to embrace sports cars).
8	* TheWoobie: Several characters are woobies some or all of the time.
9	** Ralph is a major woobie; you just spend the whole time wanting to hug the poor thing. The most woobie-ish moment without a doubt is when Ralph and Ted start talking about the time he ended up in the hospital:
10	---> '''Ralph''': A lot of people are frightened of... mental illness.
11	---> '''Ted''': Your parents told everyone you had the flu, sir.
12	---> (Both wipe their eyes.)
13	** Ted, after his wife dies.
14	** Archie, the pub bore, clearly just wants someone to talk to. He mentions that his dog is sick, and, at one point, he tells someone that he's thought about committing suicide, 'but the words of Frank keep coming back to me in my hour of need'. It becomes worse when you realise that the songs he always goes on about clearly mean something to him, if they have actually saved his life.
15	** Rowley Birkin is a woobie in the sketch were he talks about a woman he loved dying. When he finishes, he says his catchphrase in a sad, quiet voice, and there is an agonised look in his eyes as the camera slowly pans backwards.
16	---> '''Rowley''': And I held her in my arms... (Agonising pause; Rowley looks so sad) ... I'm afraid I was very drunk.
