** One of the white supremacists in series three questioned Eugene X (Heydon in character) in Afrikaans, with the help of Google. This very nearly got him exposed, possibly worse.

* {{Jerkass}}: Many of the characters, and some of the people interviewed. See below:
** James Twottington-Burbage MP is incredibly rude to his Liberal Democrat colleague, Barnaby, later pestering members of UKIP to try and integrate himself with the party and insisting that they pay him back for coffee when things go sour. He later tries declaring war on Romania to stop immigration, arguing that [[InsaneTrollLogic the mass movement of people counts as an invasion on Romania's behalf]].
** Dale Mailey is very rarely polite to anybody, in part due to his sexist, homophobic and outdated demeanour.
** Eugene X is a white supremacist and racist that is demeaning to any non-white people. Having said that, many of the white supremacists that he met were ''far'' worse, advocating for the return of segregation and saying that they should stone kids to death.
* MoodWhiplash: The entire point of the "BBCOMGWTF" segment is having the reporter be ecstatic about whatever event he's reporting on, gushing to celebrities and then asking them about a serious issue. Most are taken off guard by the sudden change in pace.

Later, he gets quite turned on when visiting an American brothel, despite calling it unethical and horrible, also getting stoned with some Americans.
