* WhatTheHellHero: Seriously, why the fuck did they think it was cool to burn losing kids prized possessions in series 5? Wrong, just wrong.

* HoldUpYourScore: One of the Chumps Challenge games from the original 1991 series is a round of karaoke where the 2 remaining teams have to sing a chosen song, and they are judged on how good their singing is by a panel of 3 children judges from the audience. As this was the round before the Gunk Dunk, the highest scoring team would be dropped out of the game, while the lowest scoring team goes through to the Gunk Dunk. Sadly this particular game had 2 obvious flaws. Firstly they were judging BOTH members of the team (who, don't forgot, were actually playing against each other), which could have been rectified by having the kid team up with adult on opposite team (indeed, later series often did this). More fundamentally however, it often seemed they were voting against who they wanted to see gunged rather than the singing (case in point, Peter Simon on celebrity version).

** In the first few series the grown ups played for points to avoid the gunk dunk. The 1991 series had 2 standalone games: the winner of the first dropped out, leaving the remaining 2 to battle it out in the final round to avoid the gunge. Next year the grown ups accumulated points across a number of rounds for a few series, until it was reversed for the kids to do this in the more familiar format.

* RetiredGameShowElement: The 1995 series introduced an element called "The Furnace", where the children had to bring along a prized possession and, as a penalty if they lost one of the games to their grownup, the possession would be burnt in The Furnace. This generated so much controversy that the BBC had to admit that the possessions weren't actually destroyed[[note]]it just looked like they were because of CGI[[/note]] and the child got it back after filming, and they edited it out of the remaining episodes of the series.

''Get Your Own Back'' was a children's TV Show that was primarily focused on children getting revenge on their grownups (usually parents, but grandparents, teachers, older siblings and other relations and acquaintances also appeared over the years) who have humiliated them in the past, with two children competing against each other (hindered by their adult) for the right to see their adult CoveredInGunge. The show ran from 1991 to 2004 on Creator/{CBBC} (though repeats persisted well into TheNewTens), and was hosted by Dave Benson Phillips with Lisa Brockwell co hosting from 2001 - 2003.

* ClipShow: The 1998 Christmas Special was mostly a clip show of the 1998 series, and previous moments such as the gungings of Josie D'Arby, Tim Vincent, Paul Hendy, Peter Simon, Kirsten O Brien and Series/MrBlobby . The last one was what caused Mr Blobby to send Dave into the Gunk Dunk following him being found not guilty by the Jury made up of kids.

* CourtroomEpisode: The 1998 Christmas Special. Instead of 2 contestants, it consists of Kirsten O Brien and Mr Blobby, 2 celebrities who were gunged in 1997, putting Dave Benson Phillips on trial for his "crimes" against humiliating grownups, with a jury made up of kids from the studio audience.

* KangarooCourt: The 1998 Christmas Special of Get Your Own Back. While the kids find Dave Benson Phillips not guilty, Kirsten O Brien and Mr Blobby send him into the Gunk Dunk anyway.
