* WritingAroundTrademarks: Several new games involve taking the premise wholesale from other actual shows, so this happens a lot ([[TheWeakestLink "Weak Links"]], [[SharkTank "Dragon's Lair"]] etc.)

* TheBigGuy: Justin Edwards and Greg Davies - Humphrey has the height for it though.

* StrictlyFormula: Moreso than ''Whose Line'' and even ''Mock The Week'' - all-player games start the show, games like "Sideways Scene" get placed in the latter half, and this time 'quickie' games, usually a quick Q&A session involving no more than three of the players, are used to fill up time between the usual games.
