* ViewerGenderConfusion: Some people were confused as to what gender Norton was at the start of the series. Towards the end of Season 1 it's revealed that [[spoiler: he's actually Lez's brother, from the planet Kingdom Cum]].

-> "You fuckin' druggo."
-> - Sassy the Sasquatch on Lez.

** In "Busted", when Sassy and the gang are thrown in prison, they're wearing the prison uniforms from [[TheShawshankRedemption The Shawshank Redemption]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Mike Nolan was initially a one-off character, however the creators brought him back after his first appearance proved to be incredibly popular with the show's fanbase.

** Lez: "There's three things I hate in this world; Norton, Kids, and fucking bobble heads. You ruined Father's Day!"

* CloudCuckooLander: Sergeo, the bounty hunter who Lex and Sassy meet in prison probably qualifies as this.

** In Season 2, Donny's "Stealthy Fucker" costume resemble's [[SplinterCell Sam Fisher's MK V Tac Suit]].

** In "Attack Of The Choomah's Part 2" when the gang are fighting off the Choomah's, you can see [[ModernWarfare Sergio jumping around in a 360 degree direction]].

** The Choomahs bear a very strong resemblance to [[TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]].

*** In that same episode, Sassy has the second season of [[LoSt LOST]] on DVD, hidden amongst his stash.

* ArtEvolution: The animation becomes progressively smoother over the course of the series. The first two seasons look quite choppy and low quality compared to the latest episodes.

* WhamEpisode: "Potadahead" [[spoiler: Clarence is revealed to have been a scientist on Kingdome Come, who accidentally developed a formula which hideously mutated him into his potato headed form, and was then kicked into an escape pod after the formula spilled everywhere. Then, after crash landing on Choomah Island, he accidentally dropped the formula down a large hole, causing the formula to spread like wildfire and evolve into the Choomah's.]]

* CerebusSyndrome: Clarence's ButtMonkey nature on the show was played for laughs in the first 3 seasons, but after [[spoiler: Potatahead]] you can't help but feel a little bit sorry for him

* HumanAliens: [[spoiler: Lez and Norton]]

* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: Virtually 90% of the characters on the show use it. The dialogue also utilises a large amount of modern Australian slang words, which are virtually indecipherable to anyone who hasn't been raised on the continent.

** Lez: "There's three things I hate in this world; Norton, Kids, and fucking bobbleheads. You ruined Father's Day!"

* BlandNameProduct: In "Yeah, Nah Mate", Mike Nolan's favourite beer is shown to be "Three X, Bronzes" (a parody of XXXX Gold), and his brand of cigarettes are "Winnie Blue's, Mate." (That's literally the name of the brand. Also a parody of popular Australian cigarette 'Winfield Blues')

** Sassy entire characterisation is essentially what happens when CloudCuckooLander meets TheStoner

* JackOfAllTrades: Mike Nolan's resume includes a postman worker, construction driver, bricklayer, bus-stop builder, lollypop man, roadside construction, maintenance at theme parks, council worker.

''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1n0r3UnpeY&list=PLiLgN7FlRfle7fmJUpK4oZsnwo3QF6PUl The Big Lez Show]]'' is an Australian web cartoon, created by Jarrad Wright, Izak Whear & Tom Hollis. The show deals with the day-to-day life of Leslie "Lez" Mackerel, a short-tempered Australian man. Also along for the ride are his mates Sassy The Sasquatch, a sasquatch stoner who's never far from his bong and "every drug on the planet, and Lez's son Quintin. Lez routinely gets into conflict with his neighbour Norton. Over the course of the series, the plot changes from a series of random vignettes into a story that involves Aliens, Mysterious islands, space travel, and the fate of the entire world.

* InsistentTerminoligy: Sassy believes that popcorn is pronounced "popcoin", claiming he's never heard the word popcorn in his entire life.

* RealPlaceBackground: Many of the backgrounds in the show, such as the beach Lez and Quinten go surfing, or the close they live in seem to be based on the landscape of the Gold Coast, in South East Queensland (which coincidentally is where the creators live and work.)

--->'''Mike''': You name a fuckin' job that requires a fuckin' high-vis shirt and I'll be there.

* PinkElephants: Sassy has a weird variation of this. Sassy claims to have seen a blue caterpillar come down from the sky and give him a bowl of Mac 'n Cheese and a bottle of apple juice in 'Goin' Home'. Lez chalks this up to Sassy's constant drug use. However in 'Attack Of The Choomah's Part 2', the caterpillar makes an appearance and gives Sassy his Mac 'n Cheese and apple juice. [[spoiler: Lez then asks where the fuck Sassy got the food from]]
