* ContinuityCreep: Slowly happened over the first seven years of the podcast, with an established and continually-growing array of RecurringCharacters played by Paul and Eli, and the series later including numerous episodes which deviated totally from the usual format of the show into self-contained semi-improvised narrative stories wholly based around these characters. As per the ContinuityReboot entry, this was later completely abandoned in 2023 with the show returning to its original format.
* ContinuityReboot: Explicitly happens in episode 351, after episode 350 features [[spoiler:the podcast's accumulated seven or so years of RecurringCharacters all being concentrated in one place and getting violently murdered, spirited up to heaven and consequently completely erased from the show's timeline]], so as to return the show to its format of simple games and segments from the more convoluted KudzuPlot it had become.

* RunningGag: The 2017 Christmas Special saw the boys whisked away to another world. Towards the end of their quest to gather keys required to return to the real world, [[ItMakesSenseInContext they were forced by a dragon]] to eat [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce/RealLife Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen noodles]] in a short time limit. In later episodes during Eli's Country Noodle Kitchen, Eli would allude to this while Paul would claim to have no knowledge of this happening.
** The running gag culminated in Episode 114 ("Winkie") with Paul having a flashback to the incident.

* ArtifactTitle: The show is ''theoretically'' about cheap things, but these are mostly incidental to the main point of the show, i.e. Paul and Eli talking shit and insulting each other.

''[[http://www.thecheapshow.co.uk CheapShow]]'' is a British comedy podcast starring Eli Silverman and Paul Gannon. While ostensibly an "economy comedy podcast", with features focusing on cheap or low quality goods (hence the name), in reality this is a hook on which to hang the main draw of the show - scatological humour and the love-hate relationship between the two hosts, with the love usually expressed grudgingly and the hate expressed freely and profanely.
