* UsefulNotes/TheMidlands: Born and raised in the northern reaches of the region, in Lincolnshire. Though he worked hard to lose his regional accent when he was about 15 years old, four years before entering Cambridge.
* MoneyDearBoy: He and Creator/{{David Mitchell|Actor}} got a lot of flak for appearing in Mac and PC adverts. Webb responded by saying
