* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Lauren consistently stupid with brief flashes of genius, or is ObfuscatingStupidity? The girl can recite Sonnet 130, and knows how to say her signature catchphrase in at least 3 languages (English, French and British Sign Language )
** It's been implied by her teachers that she's perfectly smart but would rather chase boys and court attention than apply herself.
* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** It's bad enough a mother was showing her newly-outed gay son pictures of men from magazines and asking if he found them attractive [[CringeComedy in front of his friend]], but then shows him the last photo and says "oh but John, I bet he's got a really nice ''[[PrecisionFStrike cock]]''."
** Lauren Cooper straight up ''dies'' in a kayaking accident in the 2007 Christmas special. The audience is heard quietly gasping when her friends are shown at her grave, "I'll Be Missing You" playing in the background. At least until they see her epitaph: "I still ain't bovvered".
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Creator/DavidTennant as the Ghost of Christmas Present in ''Nan's Christmas Carol''.
** The behind-the-scenes video is also funny, featuring the actors playing a game that involves throwing around {{pun}}s that are either funny or [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny are funny because they aren't.]]
** One Christmas episode featured Nan's daughter, who was ''exactly'' like her. They [[BitchInSheepsClothing acted nice to each other, but as soon as one of them left the room, the other started bad mouthing her]] in front of the others.
** The embarrassing [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Irish mother sketches]], especially the Christmas episode in which the son was given a chocolate penis by his mother. When his grandmother learns "he's a gay man now", she gives him money for a rent boy as a gift.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** The 2007 Red Nose Day special with David Tennant, for a few reasons:
*** The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "The Shakespeare Code" would air just weeks after this sketch, where Tennant as the Doctor would get to save the Bard himself.
*** Tate would return to star opposite Tennant in ''Series/DoctorWho'' the following year for Series 4.
*** Tate and Tennant would star as Beatrice and Benedick in Shakespeare's ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing'' in 2011, so Lauren would get another chance to bust out her iambic pentameter.
** Colin Morgan's casting as gay son John in the 2007 Christmas Special is this considering he would later become famous for his role as the eponymous hero of ''Series/{{Merlin|2008}}'', a show that became famous for its HoYay by the bucketload. He would also appear in ''Doctor Who'' during Catherine Tate's season as companion, though they did not share a scene together.
** In one sketch with Derek (played by Catherine Tate under heavy makeup), he meets Bonnie Langford for her autograph. In 2023, Bonnie Langford would reprise her role as old companion Mel Bush and co-star with Catherine Tate (reprising her role as fellow companion Donna Noble) in the final 60th anniversary special of ''Doctor Who''.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The end of ''Nan's Christmas Carol'' when Nan throws a nice party for her family and friends and a young relative thanks her for being nice to them.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The ''Drunk Bride'' sketch, in which a very drunk bride gives a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to her new husband and his entire family at her wedding.
* MemeticMutation: All together now, three two one: '''''AM I BOVVERED?'''''
* TearJerker
** "No one's come up t' see me...No one's come up t' see me..."
*** For further clarification, this line appears in ''Nan's Christmas Carol''. When the Ghost of Christmas Future arrives to show Nan what will become of her, an older-looking Nan is seen sitting all by herself in the corner of a nursing home's recreation room, where her old friends mock her and outright say they hate her. In a shaky, weak voice, Nan hopefully asks the nurse if anyone's come to visit her, and the nurse replies that no one has--just as no one ''ever'' does. Nan, about to cry, whispers the above line repeatedly, completely alone and broken.
* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Some of Tate's critics claim that she copied elements of ''Series/LittleBritain'', which itself has been accused of ripping off ''Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen'' and ''Series/TheFastShow''.
