* PoopingWhereYouShouldnt: The show starts off with Bob trying to organize a film night with his date to watch ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982'', but various things go wrong, such as his flatmate Vic accidentally [[ItMakesSenseInContext lodging a medieval gauntlet in the television screen]], and his other flatmate Beef- a LargeHam and womaniser- deciding to go for "[[UnusualEuphemism an Eartha Kitt]]" ''in the kitchen''. Vic later confirms that Beef left his poo in the kettle, much to Bob's anger.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Whilst every episode has Vic and Bob setting up the episode through song, this trope becomes a bigger source of gags in the second series, with characters occasionally addressing the audience, and references to character, plot and "moving the story along". This gets taken to ridiculous levels in "The Lost Plot Affair", which features the characters trying to find a plot for the episode. The crowning moment of it all is probably this line from Bosh:
