* ShoutOut: Coogan and Brydon's competitiveness over their Film/JamesBond impressions lead them to spontaneously reenact a version of the dinner table confrontation between Bond and Scaramanga in ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' ("Come come, Mr. Bond, you derive just as much pleasure from killing as I do..."). There's also a number of Creator/MichaelCaine and Creator/AlPacino impressions. Brydon is also asked to perform his [[SignatureScene 'man trapped in a box']] routine from his live shows by a number of people.

* CliffhangerCopout: ''The Trip to Spain'' abruptly ends with Steve stranded alone in the Moroccan desert being approached by a group of jihadists in a car. ''The Trip To Greece'' begins with Steve and Rob already together, and the only mention of this cliffhanger is when Rob chides Emma for always worrying about Steve, highlighting Steve's brief "disappearance" in Morocco as an example.

Added DiffLines:

* BourgeoisBohemian: Steve definitely comes across as a bit of a champagne socialist who pontificates on art, poetry and history while dining at fancy restaurants and driving in posh cars. Amusingly he gets very prickly when meeting the {{Hipster}} busker in Spain, (though not [[JerkassHasAPoint entirely without reason]]), who is basically just a younger more trendy version of him. Rob, by contrast, is much more of a [[{{Luvvies}} luvvie]].


Added DiffLines:

** Throughout the editing contrasts the free holiday the pair are getting with their much less serene working lives. When they aren't living it up in top restaurants they are often on the phone to their agents, or fretting that their careers aren't as successful as they hoped and where the next job is coming from. TruthInTelevision of course, for most folks in showbusiness.

** ''The Trip to Spain'' [[spoiler: The two girls go home, then Rob goes back to his family, leaving Steve pottering around on his lonesome in the Range Rover, clearly suffering from writer's block and loneliness despite his pretensions to become the next Hemingway. Finally he persuades his old flame (whom he has discovered is pregnant with someone else's child) from the first Trip to meet him in Spain... only it's AllJustADream. He's actually asleep in the car on a dirt road as some suspicious looking "freedom fighter" posse in a pickup truck bear down on him.]]

* SwappedRoles: In the sequel, ''The Trip To Italy'', it appears that the two have exchanged places. Coogan is happy and content to bring up the success of his autobiography for Alan Partridge, as opposed to downplaying the importance of the character in his life; by contrast, Brydon is now the one keen to get away from his suburban life, and eventually beds a woman despite being married with children. Brydon is also the one to propose the trip, as it is revealed he essentially ''ghost-wrote'' the initial articles for the UK restaurants on Steve's behalf.
