Episode title: Thin Necks and Terrifying Tractors
- Round 1: "Ghost Festival"
- Round 2: "1878 North Lancashire by-election"
Tropes:
- Anachronistic Clue: Matt's claim that there were "tractors everywhere" during an agricultural protest in 1878 (although to his credit, they were trying to think of farming technology; Tractor seems to have been the first thing they thought of). Tractors didn't become commonplace for at least another century.
- Black Comedy: Gary mentioning that a Ghost Festival celebrating the dead "Is like celebrating a party in an old people's home". Tom responds by doing a facepalm.
- Captain Obvious: The many repeats of the phrase "1878 North Lancashire by-election", where Matt, Chris and Gary all have to think of something about that article, which as they all note, is very hyper-specific.
- Dull Surprise: Gary and Chris do this when Tom wins the episode by guessing both rounds' answers correctly.
- Job-Stealing Robot: Matt's take on the "1878 North Lancashire by-election" is that it didn't happen due to farmers protesting against newer technology of the time taking away their jobs without sufficient compensation.
- Mathematician's Answer: Gary jokingly mentions that the corpse who ran for his constituent of Lancashire "was one the best they've had", leading to:Chris: Corpses or politicians?
Matt: Yes. - Obvious Rule Patch: From this series on, the contestants no longer "swap handwriting" when writing down their Wikipedia article name. Instead, they print the articles' names on the cards.
- Overly Narrow Superlative: The article title for Round 2 is "1878 North Lancashire by-election", an article title so specific that it makes everyone laugh because of how tricky it'll be to make something up about it.
- A Rare Sentence:
- Chris's use of "Minor Vehicular Events" to describe Ghost Riding.
- Matt mentioning "Tractors Everywhere" when describing the prevalence of farming equipment.
- Shout-Out:
- Gary compares a house on a cliff to Clifford the Big Red Dog, and later jokes about a political variation of Weekend at Bernie's featuring a dead candidate for Prime Minister of England with a stick up his back.
- To Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and "Star Lord", when mentioning potential "Space Lord" candidates.
