* BeyondTheImpossible - "Shit your leg off! Make it green!"

* RefugeInAudacity - and how!

** The sketch where a semi-naked man and a woman run through a forest around police officers singing "Mah Na Mah Na", while a dead body is found. They then proceed to sit on the body to squeeze out a noise into a saxophone in time with the music. Yeah...

* The suicidal man who jumps off of a one-story drop fifty times, in case he changes his mind.

* Mr Ventham: A man who visits what seems to be an expensive therapist, only to ask really obvious advice: "I can't find my wallet?" ... "It's probably one of the surfaces."

* TroublingUnchildhoodBehavior - Maria, the six-year-old assassin

** TroublingUnchildhoodBehavior

* LonersAreFreaks

* FetishRetardant - The eccentric doctor and his phone sex line.
-> My cock's just gone off like a spunky firework.

* HellIsThatNoise - Several times.
** The farmers playing hideous instruments made out of piping and dead rats.
** "Today...we saw Richard Madeleyyy...beating up a cleaneeerrr...and later being apprehended...for fucking a coffee machiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeee­eee..."
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel - This troper was particularly horrified at the one where a man jumps into a wood chipper that sprays his bloody remains all over his ex's house (and into her face, as she was leaning out of the window).
** The man who wakes up and discovers he's just a head and a spinal column.
** The Gush.
** Most of it, really. The series, with few exceptions, is deliberately intended to make the viewer incredibly uncomfortable if not terrified. Unsurprising given that the opening more or less tells you it's about people who have totally broken down beyond all rationality.

* NightmareFuelUnleaded - This troper was particularly horrified at the one where a man jumps into a wood chipper that sprays his bloody remains all over his ex's house (and into her face, as she was leaning out of the window).

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed - Averted, hard, as is Morris' style. A fake [[AcceptableTargets Kilroy]] is shown to gave gone insane and is running around naked in a shopping centre, urinating on a window containing a television displaying his face. Fake Richard Madeley is shown beating up an innocent cleaner.

* ParentalIncest - PlayedForLaughs with the mother of a child who apparently has a gay friend. Whilst the father has sex with the friend to keep him away from their son, she has sex with her son "to keep him interested in ladies."

* RefugeInAudacity

--> ''When dancing, lost in techno trance, arms failing, gawky Bez, then find you snagged on frowns, and slowly dawns, you're jazzing to the beep tone of a life support machine, that marks the steady fading, of your day old baby daughter. And when midnight sirens, lead to blue flash road mash, stretchers covered heads, and slippy red macadam, and find you creeping 'neath the blankets, to snuggle close a mangled bird, hoping soon you too will be freezer drawed. Then welcome, ooh blue chemotherapy wig, welcome in Jaaaaaaaam.''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xod0Hhw2jI8]]

* TroublingUnchildhoodBehaviour - Maria, the six-year-old assassin

* AbusiveParents: The couple convinced their daughter is a 40-year-old man in a little girl's body, so they've fitted her with a penis and testicles themselves.

** TroublingUnchildhoodBehaviour

** Troubling Unchildhood Behaviour

* CareerKillers - subverted with the four-year-old "cleaner"

* TroublingUnchildhoodBehaviour - In one sketch, a man believes he has accidentally killed his friend during an argument, and calls in a professional named Maria to dispose of the body. Maria turns out to be only six years old, and very skilled at chopping up corpses; when the victim wakes up, revealing that he wasn't dead, she shoots him in the head so she can finish the job.

** The Gush

* StupidCrooks: * [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6p5ORHRnXs#t=03m37s This sketch]] features a man holding up a convenience store in order to ''buy'' a pack of cigarettes. Apparently, the gun he points at the store clerk was to make sure that he got back change. The clerk tells the man with the gun that he doesn't need to pay for the cigarettes, and the man thinks of this as some sort of unexpected thrill.

* ProductionPosse: Mark Heap, Kevin Eldon, Amelia Bullmore and Julia Davis who have all worked on several of Morris' other projects.
* RapeIsFunnyWhenItIsMaleOnMale - Played painfully straight in the sketch where the couple are discussing their fantasies, one of which involves her having sex with her husband after he pretends to have been gang-raped. The man is in stitches throughout her description.
