* ImaginaryFriend: One of the series of sketches was about an imaginary friend named Billy, whose creator, Max, managed to imagine him hard enough that he can be seen by others. Billy is capable of making contact with real objects, but still has to use imaginary versions of said objects anyway.

** That’s nothing, one episode actually uses the phrase ‘dog shit’. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORqZ0XUJi8Y&t=236s See for yourself]]. How this managed to get in there and not even generate any controversy utterly boggles the mind.

Billy is capable of making contact with real objects, but still has to use imaginary versions of said objects anyway. Or at least, that’s what he claims, but in actuality he’s a very real person running a scheme to get his hands on whatever real item he wants when the other two leave the room.

* Two men are preparing to watch a movie on the DVD player. One of them selects the wrong language/country setting, though, which causes the background to change a setting from that country, and the other guy's clothing changing accordingly (for example, when "China" is selected, the setting changes to the Great Wall of China and the other guy suddenly wears martial arts clothing). Only appeared in Series 1.

** One series of sketches involved a police officer who handcuffed people for doing perfectly mundane things, such as playing an arcade game or eating a bag of crisps. To his credit, though, the police officer keeps mistaking the perfectly legal actions with criminal activities (for example, he mistakes the person playing the arcade game for an out-of-control driver without a driver's license due to the game in question being a racing game), and he seems legitimately unaware of his mistake until another policeman points it out to him.

It's most likely done for RuleOfFunny, since otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do a skit showing one of them being turned into vampire upon that setting being selected.

In the midst of the revealing hug, the ''[=EastEnders=]'' theme song starts playing when another character interrupts the two who are hugging, pointing out this trope and that one of them was lying to the other. The woman of the duo runs off crying, and the man, feeling sad, asks for a hug. Cue the same music and the same look.

NOTE: This page is a work in progress, particularly in regards to the list of recurring sketches.

Added DiffLines:

''Sorry, I've Got No Head'' is a Creator/{{CBBC}} SketchComedy show that aired from 2009 to 2011 for three series.

Some of the recurring sketches included:
* Headless Bill, a man [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin with no head]] and the namesake of the show. Pretty much every joke in these segments has to do with Bill messing up something or otherwise getting in trouble due to his lack of a head. Appeared in Series 1 and 2.
* Backstage Access, which shows the daily lives of video game characters. Appeared in Series 1 and 2. These sketches got a spinoff show called ''Series/{{Pixelface}}'' in 2011.
* Timothy, whose mother always came up with numerous unconventional ways to bypass the traffic while getting her son to school. All of the attempts fail, however, causing her to just get the car keys instead. Appeared in Series 1 and 2.
* Embarrassed Louise. Whenever she gets embarrassed, she inflates like a balloon. Appeared in Series 2 and 3.

----
!!This show provides examples of:
* ArtifactTitle: The Headless Bill segments did not appear in Series 3. Despite this, the show kept its name, which comes from these segments.
* CowardlyLion: The Fearless Vikings, who, despite their name, constantly get scared for no real reason.
* ToiletHumor: The "Blueberries" segments, which star a woman who passed gas whenever she said the word "blueberries".
