* ProductionPosse: The six main ''Series/HorribleHistories'' actors breaking off into a new troupe is the entire point of the show. They couldn't bear the idea of not working together any longer, so set up a format that would allow them, in Willbond's words, "to continue to raid the dress-up box and speak in silly voices." The troupe thus formed sometimes informally refer to themselves as [[AvengersAssemble "The Assembled Idiots"]] or just "the idiots".

* TheOtherDarrin: An interesting version for Elf - Matthew Baynton continues to voice him, but the puppet was redesigned between seasons 1 and 2 with a generally narrower, slightly more realistic face. Lampshaded when Debbie apparently asks why Elf looks different in the first episode of Season 2 but it turns out she was actually asking about the sticking plaster on his face - he cut himself shaving.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Every member of the ''HH'' troupe has been paired with pretty much every other by the fandom over the course of that show's run, and in ''this'' show that same cast seems determined to spoof the idea... leading to things like 'Baybond' (Baynton and Willbond) playing the Oracle as a couple, and this live-tweeting exchange after Baynton's character kissed both Debbie (Howe-Douglas) and the Crone (Howick) in the same episode:
-->'''Rickard:''' Shipping Dougton...
-->'''Rickard:''' Now shipping Baynwick. Hmm.
-->'''Howick:''' You're gonna wear the tape out mate.
-->'''Rickard:''' It's just SO hot!
