These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The show has elements of this all the time, but there are also some that stand out, such as the occasional Running Gag of Harry and a guest marching around the desk accompanied by music and two versions of the Queen Vic bust from Eastenders.
Harry also likes to subvert or deconstruct this for humour—he will set up a BLAM, then try to carry on as though nothing had happened, but real life intervenes and elements from the BLAM keep interrupting him (such as actors involved in a BLAM sketch walking away behind him throughout the next segment as he tries to carry on).
The musical intros to various segments are usually this, especially "TV Highlight of the Week!"
"Funny Aneurysm" Moment: In series 3, Harry made fun of ex-footballer George Best's alcoholism, claiming his favourite foods were "red wine in a white wine sauce" and "ale and ale pie". Little over a year after the broadcast of that episode, Best would die from a kidney infectionbrought on by overdrinking.
And let's not forget Harry mocking Jane Goody's turn on Celebrity Wife Swap.
Hilarious in Hindsight: In the first episode of season 3, Harry joked that by 2006, Tony Blair would still be Prime Minister, Jordan and Peter Andre would have had their third child, and Pat from Eastenders would be back at law school. Hey, as Meatloaf once said, "Two out of three ain't bad".
Memetic Mutation: "There's only one way to find out...FIIIGGHHHT!"
Self-parodied, to an extent, when said phrase was used in an episode of EastEnders in a conversation preceding a fight. Probably an intentional Shout Out on the part of the 'Enders scriptwriters.
Values Dissonance: the subject of a joke in the TV Burp Book, which mentions that the first ever children's TV show was a puppet show called "Jive the Monkey". "All copies are believed to have been wiped."
