* WokenUpAtAnUngodlyHour: [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist Brian Potter]] is woken up at "'alf three in the pissin' mornin'!" by his bouncers Max and Paddy prank-calling him to tell him that his nightclub, the Phoenix, has burnt down, and his compere Jerry was caught in the blaze. Brian is initially [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold distraught at the idea that Jerry was killed]], but as soon as Max asks him whether Jerry had false teeth (at which point he and Paddy [[{{Corpsing}} can't keep themselves from laughing]] anymore), a furious Brian realizes they've pranked him and hangs up. Just seconds later, he's woken up again by another caller: this time, it's the police, telling him that someone's broken into his club and stolen a TV. Brian, however, just thinks [[CryingWolf this is another prank call]] and openly insults the police, farts down the phone at them, and tries to go back to sleep. [[GilliganCut Minutes later,]] he's outside the club, apologizing to the police for not believing them.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Perry burning the club down was genuinely evil, but to say that Brian brought it on himself is an understatement. He lied about Jerry being terminally ill to get sympathy points, and it was his corner-cutting when it came to health and safety which indirectly caused the mishap. Jerry more or less says all this word-for-word after the court case, which Brian assumed he’d get off with a slap on the wrist because of his disability.
