* AccidentalNightmareFuel: There's a good meta example in ''Peep Show and Tell'', the "making of" documentary about the series: just ''try'' not to recoil in horror at Creator/{{David Mitchell|Actor}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zmqZLORRN8 passionately snogging]] the [[{{Robosexual}} POV camera]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** In the "Handyman" episode, Mark's line "The Music/BeastieBoys fought and possibly died for my right to party." was a little less amusing after Adam "MCA" Yauch passed away in 2012 followed by the death of John Berry in 2016 which then lead to them disbanding. What's worse is that the episode first aired exactly 5 years before MCA's passing and 9 years before Berry's.
** Toni's comments about Creator/RobinWilliams become far more uncomfortable for viewers watching after his suicide in 2014.

When Merry is sectioned, it's Super Hans, not Jeremy, who has the presence of mind to seek ownership papers for the pub she's just gifted them.

* BrokenBase: Fans cannot reach a consensus on which theme tune was a better fit for the show: the proprietary, lyricless tune in the first series (named Pip Pop Plop) or Flagpole Sitta by Music/HarveyDanger (specifically the lyrics "I'm not sick but I'm not well/And I'm so hot 'cause I'm in Hell"), used in all subsequent episodes.
