** Dolly Wells was Paula in "The Dinner Party" [season 2] and Miranda in "Jen the Fredo" [season 4]4]. This one can be a bit harder to recognise than the others; Paula's face is completely covered in bandages and speaks with an English accent, while Miranda's face is uncovered, but she speaks with an Australian accent.

* CreatorKiller: A retroactive example. Due to increasing acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, older works that take a flippant approach to trans issues, such as 2008 episode "The Speech", began being re-evaluated and pulled from repeats. Rather than at least being diplomatic about the issue, Graham Linehan took offense to this and became more outspoken in his transphobic beliefs, leading to a downward spiral of increasingly obsessive transphobia that overshadowed his writing and, by TheNewTwenties, left him essentially unemployable.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: The 2008 episode "The Speech" was criticised for its transphobia and, eventually, re-evaluated and pulled from repeats. This prompted Creator/GrahamLinehan to speak out against the critics, drawing more attention to his own transphobic views - which became part of a wider pattern of increasingly obsessive transphobia that overshadowed his writing and (as of March 2023) has effectively ended his career.

* AccentDepundent: In one episode Jen is dating a man who is almost perfect except that his name is Peter File, which in British English sounds almost exactly like "paedophile." Moss even [[LampshadedTrope points out]] that the problem wouldn't exist if they were in America (where the first vowel is a short rather than long "e").

You can also notice Roy phrasing it slightly strangely, because if he says it naturally, it doesn't quite work either.
