* DramaticDrop:
** In "Let there be light", the vicar's wife drops a loaded tray, when she is suddenly faced with Hyacinth's daddy wearing a gas mask, and carrying a shotgun.
** When Hyacinth is waiting for Richard in the car outside a pub, she sounds the car horn, and startles a waiter, who drops his very full tray. The waiter mutters "bitch", masked by the sound of the horn, and Hyacinth says "butterfingers". Later, the same waiter passes again, this time watching Hyacinth carefully.
** Elizabeth frequently drops Hyacinth's best china, or a biscuit ''into'' her cup of coffee. This usually happens when she is startled by Hyacinth suddenly shouting out, or by the telephone ringing, which is even lampshaded by Hyacinth at one point.
---> '''Hyacinth:''' ''(to Richard, making him sit by the telephone, ready to answer it)'' I wouldn't say anything in front of Elizabeth, but she does have this way of jumping every time the telephone rings.

* RoughOveralls: Referred to in "Let there be Light", when Hyacinth volunteers Richard to mend the church hall electrics. He protests that he's "electrically derelict" and that he should be wearing overalls instead of the smart suit Hyacinth makes him wear.
--> '''Richard:''' People who do electrics wear overalls. It's a very dusty job.
--> '''Hyacinth:''' But not if you do it ''executively''.

* BodyBridge: Played for laughs. In "What to wear when yachting", Richard ends up in an absurd situation of holding a boat with his feet, while lying flat over the side and clinging on to the river bank. Hyacinth boards by simply walking over him, using him as a bridge. Unfortunately, the boat then drifts off, leaving Hyacinth aboard, while Richard is on the bank.

* SneakersOfSneaking: When Hyacinth is determined to catch the paper boy to check if his ears are clean, Richard comments that she'll find it difficult to catch him, because he'll be wearing trainers, and sneaking up quietly. When she does try to catch him, he takes advantage of his footwear to run away as fast as he can.

* LowerHalfReveal:
** In "What to wear when yachting", Richard is alarmed by the sight of his own legs, as if he has never seen them before, when Hyacinth makes him wear shorts.
---> '''Richard:''' I feel peculiar when I see these terrible white things.
---> '''Hyacinth:''' What terrible white things?
---> '''Richard:''' My knees! Why the devil do I have to wear shorts?
---> '''Hyacinth:''' If shorts are good enough for the Royal Navy, I see no reason why you should complain.
** In "Please mind your head", Hyacinth and Richard emerge from the door of where they live, wearing tweed outfits, with only the top half visible. Richard mutters that he prefers being dressed in his normal clothes; then it is revealed that they are both wearing riding gear. This becomes a BrickJoke when they are met by Elizabeth and Emmet, and Emmet gets out of the car to reveal his own riding gear.
