* KarmaHoudini: Mocked in the first courtroom sketch. A man is found guilty of mass murder, but as soon as he apologizes for his crimes, and compliments everyone (the judge, the prosecutor, the police, and the jury) for the job they did in bringing him to justice, the judge gives him only a six month sentence, and then suspends it.

* KangarooCourt: The court seen in ''Njorl's Saga''. When Njorl is brought to trial for promoting a London suburb during a BBC saga, there are several trumped up charges tacked on, the court only follows procedure because the press is watching, he's [[BandageMummy clearly the victim]] of PoliceBrutality, and the cop that testifies against him gets his stories mixed up and makes up a phony confession from Njorl.
* SubliminalAdvertising: Parodied in "Njorl's Saga". The title story receives emergency funding from the North Malden Icelandic Society, who proceed to derail it with advertising trying to persuade businesses to invest in Malden (a London suburb). At one point, during a fight scene in which the characters are carrying placards advertising the virtues of Malden for businesses, the words "INVEST IN MALDEN" flash on the screen repeatedly. At first, they only stay for a few frames, but each time they appear, they remain on screen for longer, until finally they flash on screen and stay there until a cut to the next sketch.
