The show won an Emmy in both 1999 and 2000 for "Best Popular Arts Show."

* ADateWithRosiePalms: A common misconception is that the apparent WordSaladTitle was meant to sound like an UnusualEuphemism for female masturbation. In reality, the "Pony" bit was actually meant to invoke the Cockney rhyming slang "Pony and trap" (="crap"), and the working title for the show was "Spot the Pony." The final title is in other words a bit of an AccidentalInnuendo.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: A procession of women getting out of limos and walking up a red carpet, each coming out in more revealing dresses and stealing the press attention from the others. The first one has a slit dress, the second AbsoluteCleavage, the third a dress slit from top to bottom but for a single knot at the waist. The last woman is wearing what looks like a conservative long black dress... until she turns around to reveal a circular window exposing her bare arse.

* WomenDrivers: An occasional target of SelfDeprecation.
* YouMakeMeSic: A man writes "Rick love's Sofie" in the sand, which she corrects to "Rick loves Sophie". Then he crosses out the "loves", and she adds a "P" to the beginning of his name.

* RogerRabbitEffect: One sketch features a real-life Snow White working in an ordinary office, with animated bluebirds flying around her head and cartoon bunnies skipping beside her.

* ComicSutra: One of the dating videos features a couple who claim to be familiar with sexual acts such as "Upstairs Downstairs", "Half-Eaten Samosa" and "making the puffin fly".

* TheBechdelTest: Every single episode passes effortlessly. The three main writers/performers are women, and barring the odd StraightMan boyfriend many sketches don't feature a single male character.
