* HappyEndingMassage: Alluded to in "The Veneer of Civilization" when Dave shows the audience a sign from a barbers' that advertises "haircuts" for £7. He points out the use of inverted commas and wonders what the difference between a haircut and a "haircut" is, and if it's the same as the difference between a massage and a "massage".

** In "I've never seen a cat", Dave attempts to {{gaslight|ing}} his wife by switching out the circuits in a toy car for their son so that it will seem to have suddenly changed languages. He seems to regard this as innocent fun until she starts asking about it on the neighborhood [=WhatsApp=] group and another neighbor starts giving made-up instructions for how to fix it, causing Dave to feel upset by someone else winding up his wife in the way he does. Could be considered HypocriticalHeartwarming, if you have a very low threshold for heartwarming.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Dave claims not to have a catchphrase, but finds someone on Twitter who thinks his catchphrase is "Maths!" (the original Tweets were complaining about ''Series/MockTheWeek'', so it's possible they confused Dave Gorman with show host Creator/DaraOBriain, who studied mathematics at university and had a maths-based show on the same channel). That said, he does start off [[OncePerEpisode almost every episode]] of the show with "My name is Dave Gorman, and I've got a big screen, a remote control, and a laptop that I've loaded with stuff that I want to share with you."

** In "It was an Accident and I was Hopsitalised", Dave sets up a fake music quiz website for the sole purpose of trolling one of his friends, only for the website to have an unexpected boost in popularity. When he finds someone incorrectly suggesting that Fleetwood Mac is an answer in the quiz, he responds with mock outrage "How dare he! How dare he lie to try and waste other people's time, that is outrageous!"
