History Series / BritainsGotTalent

* TookALevelInBadass: Bello and Annalise on their original season in USA Got Talent struggled Bello barely makes it to the judge cuts and even then he doesn't make it farther than the quarter-finals and Annalise doesn't even make it to the live shows.Here they manage to win the audience vote over fan favorites like Ashleigh and Pudsey
and survive on live television on a giant pendulum.

** Issy Simpsons is another nine-year-old whose schtick doesn't only consist of performing magic, but also bossing around all the judges. She even manage to scare ''Simon'' with one of her audition tricks.

* CutenessOverload : Flakefeet Primary School on season 13 while some people argue if they had a talent or not no one argues the fact that they were a cute act.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Two acts in the first season were put through in auditions, and then put through to the semi-finals, but mysteriously vanished from the line-up before the live shows started, replaced by two previously eliminated. Both turned out to have dubious legal dealings, and were quietly kicked off the show. In fact, at no point was their departure ever mentioned on screen, so viewers were left a bit confused.
** Neil Horan, a former priest who infamously ruined a marathon by running out on the track (and was convicted for it), not only auditioned, but passed. Needless to say, the judges had no idea who he was, and once they found out, he was removed (again, quietly) from the running for the semi-finals.

* {{Fangirl}}: If you're a attractive young man without a shirt on, expect a yes from Amanda.

* TheLoad: The cats in Catalyst's performance, which didn't make any meaningful contributions to the performance, and were seemgly incorporated just to [[RuleOfCute give the audience something to gush over]]. Even if strictly intended as "props" - as Catalyst referred them as - they still hindered the performance with their erratic behavior: one of them delayed the performance by running backstage, and afterward nearly got crushed by Catalyst when it moved over into her seat. [[JustifiedTrope Given that these were ordinary pets with no special training]], it was clear that the onus was on the owner's poor judgement for bringing her pets in a situation where they didn't belong.

** In 2016 Danny Beard sported GagBoobs, whiteface make-up and gold glitter in his beard. He then belted out a killer rendition of [[Film/RockyHorrorPictureShow "Sweet Transvestite"]].

** This trope is invoked again during the Series 13 Final. Despite 89-year old singer Collin Thackery taking the crown, the runner-up, the anonymous magician X's [[spoiler: who had unmasked himself to reveal Series 12 semi-finalist Marc Spelmann]] performance became a high-trending topic on Twitter.

* Simon Cowell (2007-present); [[TheMeanBrit THE Mean Brit]], even in his own country; sat out the auditions in the 2011 series but returned for the 2011 live shows and onwards

* Kelly Brook (2009); model and actress ([[MsFanservice Google Image search is probably NSFW]]). She was briefly a judge for season three, but four judges was found to be impractical and she was made redundant.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: On the side of the contestants in the defense of their usually poor acts. In a meta sense, the need to play [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbS-Zhz31CA&feature=fvst Lux Aeterna]] or some derivative of otherwise [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome epic]] [[OminousLatinChanting music]] at [[OnceAnEpisode EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY!]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: David is this: he acts like a campy, goofy poof a good deal of the time, but when it comes to judging, he gives genuinely fair critiques to contestants and is more balanced than the harsher Simon or the nicer Amanda and Alesha.

''Britain's Got Talent'' is an Creator/{{ITV}} TalentShow where people perform talent acts with the aim of winning a public vote and perform in front of UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen (or another member of UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily) at ''TheRoyalVarietyShow''. Each contestant performs in front of three or four judges. The judges have three/four buzzers and can push them if they want the act to stop. All buttons pressed- the act stops. Tolerated primarily for the ridiculous and often hilariously bad auditions and the inevitable scathing responses.

* SoUnfunnyItsFunny: Donald Camber's act consisted of him half-mumbling and {{Corpsing}} his way through an overly-long and agonizingly atrocious joke: ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (or, according to him, Amsterdam) goes out for a walk and returns to his flat to find a man waiting there, who asks the Hunchback to teach him to ring the bells of Notre Dame. Quasimodo does a demonstration and pushes the bell over to the trainee, but it hits him in the face and knocks him out the window. A passerby finds him and says to Quasi, "There's a man down here, do you recognize him?" Quasimodo responds with, "No, but that face certainly rings a bell." Cue three X's from the judges. Donald's upbeat attitude and constant barely-concealed laughed kept everybody smiling regardless.

* {{Determinator}}: David J. Watson, the only person to date who has auditioned for the show on four separate occasions. He [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9E0m3Q0SR8 first appeared]] in 2008, where he did political impersonation act that was hilarious for all the wrong reasons, then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctZCyXbl9iA showed up again]] in 2010 where he performed a bizarre mix of ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' and ''Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy''. His [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAL4Gyknf-o appearance]] in 2011 saw him try to pull off "magic trick" that didn't really amount to anything more than a high school science experiment. In his most recent attempt in the 2013 series, he brought back up in the form of two colleagues, one of whom seemed not very enthusiastic in being there. His act involved a small comedy sketch where David pretends to drill through a wall and into a person, who then 'comically' spins around. This was achieved by having one guy arc the top half of his body over the wall, and then the other guy waves a pair of fake legs. It was as bad as it sounds. Only David Walliams seemed amused.
