3	----
4	This series provides examples of:
5	* ActingForTwo: happens fairly often. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU Bargain Hunt]]" memorably features three separate characters played by Philip, and two by Anthony.
6	* AffectionateParody: "Series/DoctorWho: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuqWnY5ElzE The Musical]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU Bargain Hunt]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9g9Pja0yc4 Deal]] [[Series/DealOrNoDeal or No Deal]]", "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8PvtMwXoqw Four Funerals]]" (a parody of the TV show Four Weddings), and "[[Film/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer I May Know]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO34rgh0hr0 What You Might Have Done Yesterday]]".
7	* AllThereInTheManual: Sort of - the name of "Man who Cannot Think of a Superhero Name" is not mentioned in the main part of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]]", but it is mentioned in one of the HilariousOuttakes during the credits.
8	* AndStarring: with Kieron Papps
9	* BadassNormal: None of the characters in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]]" have any powers.
10	* ClarkKenting: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]]", Bipolar Man attempts this by taking off his glasses and wearing a police helmet. It works on Man who Cannot Think of a Superhero Name, but not on Tramp Boy.
11	* CouchGag: The Philthon Jones intro. It started out (for the first three videos) as someone just saying "Philthon Jones", but there have been variations since - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xQRmTNNAA one video]] even had the intro segue into the episode itself.
12	** The logo also changed for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAmpxWMeA3o one video]], where Jones was replaced by a pack of scones.
13	* CreditsGag: An [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAmpxWMeA3o episode]] made while Jones was unavailable credits him with "[[AndStarring Not Starring]]".
14	* FakeNationality: [[ActingForTwo One of the characters played by Philip]] in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU Bargain Hunt]]" has some sort of unidentifiable cross between French, German, and Cockney accents that needs to be seen to believed. Jones also does a weird accent, although it is closer to German, in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wothBgBbZlo The Murder of Lord Avocado]]".
15	** FakeAmerican: Anthony has attempted this a couple of times, in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wothBgBbZlo The Murder of Lord Avocado]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLK7pI2JNH4 The Meeting]]".
16	* FauxToGuide: The ''Do It The Philthon Jones Way'' series.
17	* HilariousOuttakes: a few videos include them - and even when there aren't true examples, the camera sometimes continues to roll during the credits, picking up whatever happens afterwards.
18	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: ''Caught Chatting'' follows the pattern of ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'', naming each episode after a quote from it.
19	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: It's Jones, not James.
20	* PanelShow: ''Caught Chatting'' is presented in this format.
21	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xQRmTNNAA Emergency Appeal]]" was caused by Jones not turning up to a recording session.
22	* ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud: Necessary in "Series/DoctorWho: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVocImGogX4 Episode Zero]]"
23	* {{Running Gag}}s: A few, including "Bingo!" and the [[ItMakesSenseInContext 75 dead starlings]].
24	** The ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/PhilthonJones#grid/user/CDA8871A905B67C4 Do It The Philthon Jones Way]]'' videos make a running gag of "£9.99, postage and packaging not included", although the line is said in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFhRthRVnKw the latest video]] as "[[{{Blooper}} £9.99, no postage and packaging]]".
25	* ScheduleSlip: supposedly weekly, but there's only been one update since January 2011.
26	* StoryArc: Almost - Jones went missing in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xQRmTNNAA Emergency Appeal]]", and didn't appear in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAmpxWMeA3o next]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvon4MI9LU two]] either - the first of those went as far as to replace him with a pack of scones ([[DontExplainTheJoke it rhymes with Jones]]), and the logo was edited to reflect that.
27	* SuperheroesWearCapes: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO3CIpwr7l0 The Hyper Heroes]]", the most traditional one being Man who Cannot Think of a Superhero Name.
28	* ThePointsMeanNothing: ''Caught Chatting'' - amounts of points have included "Jones", "sine minus one ninety", and "WebAnimation/HomestarRunner".
29	** This also happens in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8PvtMwXoqw Four Funerals]]".
