History Series / TenOClockLive

* {{Crossover}}: With ''{{Pointless}}'' in a series 2 episode, to illustrate the NHS reform bill.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Charlie is the cynic, Lauren is the optimist, David is the realist and Jimmy is the apathetic.

* VisualPun / IncrediblyLamePun: Jimmy Carr unleashed a torrent of these to make fun of the new rules allowing product placement, delivering a story about Libya while simultaneously trying to work as many brand name related puns into the story as possible, all while the products in question roll along a conveyor belt below him

* Banksy Appeal: No, not that Creator/{{Banksy}}, but a parody of ''ChildrenInNeed'' appealing to the public to help out the bankers of Britain, with a mascot of a giant arrogant pig. Disappeared around half-way through the first series.

* The show often mocks the papers doing this. Like having cleric Abu Qatada depicted as some sort of nuclear cloud or having Nick Clegg as an amoeba.

* Listen to Mitchell: Mitchell picks a subject and then, with vigour and outrage, shouts about how absurd the whole thing is. Very much like his WebOriginal series ''David Mitchell's Soapbox''. This section appears to have been dropped in series 2, although it did make a return for one episode.

* Sketches: Either pre-recorded pieces with Lauren Laverne, or live bits with Jimmy Carr.

* Charlie Brooker's review on events: This section is a pre-recorded section of the show with apt footage of recent news with Brooker's bleak commentary over the top. All very reminiscent of his TV series ''{{Newswipe}}''
