!!Sketches by Cowards provide examples of:
* BearsAreBadNews: Especially when they live in your house.
* BedmateReveal: The radio equivalent.
* CrosswordPuzzle: Filled out with [[RuleOfFunny extraordinary incompetence.]]
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Anna targeting the men in the party (including her fiancé Cain) with snowballs, censorious limericks, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick acid and razor blades.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: Four guys who meet to throw themselves off a cliff, all having been driven there by the same girl.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: When a mugger shoots one of the office jokers.
-->'''Joker:''' There's no need for that, just 'cause we didn't have any money!\\
'''Mugger:''' It wasn't that. It was the back-and-forth, the banter.\\
'''Joker:''' What was wrong with it?\\
'''Mugger:''' It was, I dunno. I-I found it contrived.
* GenderReveal: See LarynxDissonance.
* GoshDangItToHeck: "Naff off!"
* ICantHearYou: '''''I'M A CAMPANOLOGIST'''''
* InterspeciesRomance: Between a human teacher and a [[spoiler:mouse.]]
* InstrumentalThemeTune
* LarynxDissonance: Since the all-male Cowards play every role, they go out of their way to avoid giving lines to female characters, but occasionally it can't be helped. They don't try very hard to sound female, though, necessitating a GenderReveal.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Although Luther's friends don't think so.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted by Fat Phil and Skinny Phil.
* ThoseTwoGuys: The office jokers who may not be recurring characters in the strictest sense, but are easily recognised by their WittyBanter.
