* SomethingElseAlsoRises: Parodied. We see a couple go to bed and then clips of StockFootage consisting only of this, such as the train entering into a tunnel, a chimney being blown up playing in reverse (as if it were rising), champagne bottles blowing open and so on (even a clip featuring Richard Nixon). After the clips they are over, the man and the woman are shown sitting in the bed, the man with a projector and the girl asking "Oh Bevis, are you going to do anything or are you just going to show me films all evening?"

* UnfortunateItemSwap: In the "Police Raid" sketch, Graham Chapman plays the role of a policeman who intrudes on two guys having lunch, claiming he's got a warrant to search the premises. After a brief awkward silence, Graham produces a paper bag from his pocket, drops it on the table, and begins loudly declaring that he has discovered a bag which may indeed contain illicit substances. Eric Idle searches the bag to find... a sandwich. Dismayed, Graham looks at the camera and inquires, "Blimey! Whatever did I give the wife?"

Tropes:
* [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe Aren't You Going to Arrest Me?]]: The incompetent smuggler gets frustrated when the customs official isn't going to arrest him, and he eventually gets taken away for causing a disturbance rather than smuggling.
* BadLiar: In the Customs sketch, a smuggler has a suitcase full of Swiss watches.
* BlatantLies: The smuggler who is trying to sneak Swiss watches and clocks in his luggage [[BadLiar can't tell a convincing lie]] to save his life, his lies get more and more outrageous as the customs officer toys with him; then his [[ImplausibleDeniability "vest" goes off]].
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: One cartoon parodied the original Charles Atlas, showing that in a fight, big muscles are no match against [[{{BFG}} big muzzles]].
* HoldUpYourScore: The Job Interview sketch.

* MuscleBeachBum: One of the animations was a parody of the Charles Atlas ads. A weakling has sand kicked in his face by a beach bully, who then steals his girlfriend. He exercises and develops a massive physique. When he returns to the beach, the bully shoots him in the head with a cannon and steals the girlfriend again.

Film!Eric comes back as Real!Eric gets another bulletin saying the first person was not the one they were looking for, but has given them another lead, the cop appears in studio and takes Real!Eric into custody.
