History Series / TimeGentlemenPlease

** Terry telling Dave to not be sexist...even though he always agrees with the Guv's {{Misogynistic}} views. Everyone looks at him in bewilderment.

** "A public house must accept all comers, whatever their beliefs. Booze is for everyone, regardless of creed of colour. It's every man's birthright, ya jumped-up fucker." Cue an applause from the audience and most likely every fella at home raising their beer.
* {{Cuckoolander}}: Lesley, what with her Tigger toy and meekness.

* {{Adorkable}}: Steve Crosby.

* {{Hypocritical Humour}}: Terry saying that Lesley's flatulence is "uncouth"; this coming from a man who regularly breaks wind enough to kill anyone in the room.

* {{No Name Given}}: The Guv, as well as The Old Man. The closest the series gives us to a name for the Old Man is the affectionate name "Pops", but otherwise everyone just calls him "Old Man". This is even lampshaded in the "It's A Wonderful Pint", when in a telephone call he addresses himself as "The Old Man With No Name". The reason why is because he prefers that it's best for some things not to be said

* {{PrecisionFStrike}}: Whenever the Prof's angry, as in very angry, he'll tend to blast off "fuck", which is pretty impressive given how he normally tends to replace it with "twat" or "cock".

* {{It's All About Me}}: One of Connie's main traits - it gets annoying, especially when whining about her "problems" in university despite her describing it as very lush.

* {{Oedipus Complex}}: Played with for laughs. When the Guv goes to see Ms Jackson's {{Identical Twin}}, a psychiatrist, he immediately refers to this trope, claiming that everything always ties in with having sex with the mother, and his attitude/disgust towards it makes the psychiatrist wonder about him. Eventually there's a {{Dream Within A Dream}} where Ms. Jackson's twin get on her knees before the Guv while he's sitting on a chair...and then he's met with the twin replaced by his mum. Cut to {{Big "NO!"}} while he wakes up.

* {{Only Sane Person}}: Connie, who's more eager to point out the ridiculousness, the obvious, the overlooked, the flaws...well, [[everything]] in the daily lives and problems of the Guv and everyone else. In fact, she even calls them "not normal" just to rub in how much she's aware of the stupidity and weirdness in the show's universe. She could easily qualify as a character taken from another genre.

** Terry's spider powers in "This Vale of Beers" is a shout out to not only {{Spider-Man}}, but also the [[Film/Spider-ManTrilogy movie]] that came out at the time of the episode, which gets referenced as the reason why Terry wanted spider powers in the first place.

* {{Christmas Episode}}: Two specials were made; "Bar Humbug" and "It's A Wonderful Pint", obviously parodying Scrooge's 'bah humbug' in {{A Christmas Carol}} and the title of {{It's A Wonderful Life}} respectively.

* {{Special Guest}}: In the quiz episode guest stars {{Colin Baker}} as the rival team's own intellectual, known as the "Professor", obviously playing on his short-lived role as the Doctor in {{Doctor Who}}. A {{Shout Out}} to this is played when the Prof describes what his field of expert is, and almost completes saying "Doctor Who" when Colin's character interrupts with "Oh, grow up!"

* {{Bad Boss}}: Greg Thompson; he'll insult the women working for him, and trapped Steve in a cellar for 10 months working on making beer mats, only paying him in peanuts.

* {{Big "NO!"}}: Expect this a lot from the Guv, and expect it to be hammy.

*** "Hold on a minute, Terry, aren't you barred?" / "It's been a year/two years" / "You're barred!" / "Steve, that's coming out of your wages" / "I was never confused" / (referring to Australians being good at bar work) "It's instinct, innit? IN-STINCT" / "Dear God..." / "Beer for the fellas, white wine/fruit-based drink for the ladies" / "Oh dear, what a pity, never mind" / "We don't use the A-word (alcoholics) in here - we refer to them as..." / whenever reminding himself of his Barman's Hand)"Look at me...Don't look at me! Look at me...Don't look at me!" / "Why do they leave me?! WHY?!"
** Steve: "I'm cheeky, me!", "But that's impossible!", "Hel-looooo!" (responding to Ms. Jackson's catchphrase)
** Terry: "A mouth's a mouth", "THAT is the woman I am gonna marry".

** Greg: "I'm implying I've got a massive cock."

** The Guv decking Steve and ordering him to leave the pub in "It's A Wonderful Pint" at the start of the second series. After all the obnoxious talk of being Australian, anything that's very "Aussie", and generally annoying everyone for the last few episodes of the first series (plus taking over the pub for 10 months), it's satisfying to see the Guv finally put his foot down and tell the loud-mouthed idiot to hit the highroad.

* {{Hypocritical Humour}}: Terry saying that Lesley's flatulence is "uncouth"; this coming from a man who regularly fartsy.

* {{Karma Houdini}}: Janet never receives punishment for stealing money from the pub, especially when she suddenly leaves England.

'''Time Gentlemen Please''' is a British sitcom that went out on Sky in September 2000 and lasted until May 2002 after two series, clocking in at 37 episodes altogether. It starred Al Murray as Guv, a politically incorrect pub landlord (not the same as The Pub Landlord, Murray's stand-up character) who is abusive to most people he serves drinks to. It was written by [[Richard Herring]] and Al Murray.

* {{Mind of a Child}}: Leslie. This is even brought up when he's off the hook for assault on the count of the fact he's mentally impaired. Leslie follows him, but to a lesser extent.

* {{No Name Given}}: The Guv, as well as The Old Man. The closest the series gives us to a name for the Old Man is the affectionate name "Pops", but otherwise everyone just calls him "Old Man". This is even lampshaded in the "It's A Wonderful Pint", when in a telephone call he addresses himself as "The Old Man With No Name".

* {{Who Wants to Live Forever}}: The Old Man's reason why immortality isn't such a good thing.

** Leslie: "Twat 'im, Lesley!"

* {{Large Ham}}: Usually the Guv, especially in moments of panic. Since it's {{Al Murray}}, it's no surprise.

* {{Crowning Speech of Awesome}}: Barry in "This Vale of Beers" to psycho-turned Greg Thompson, who wanted to stop people drinking alcohol and accept God:
** "A public house must accept all comers, whatever their beliefs. Booze is for everyone, regardless of creed of colour. It's every man's birthright, ya jumped-up fucker." Cue an applause from the audience.

* {{Sanity Slippage}}: The Guv gets depressed between series one and two, along with paranoid, locking himself up in his room for 10 months, resulting in him getting long hair and a beard. In this state, he deconstructs his whole character, even his catchphrases.
* {{Smug Bitch}}: Connie usually runs this tropes around like a flag.

* {{No Name Given}}: The Old Man. The closest the series gives us to a name is the affectionate name "Pops", but otherwise everyone just calls him "Old Man". This is even lampshaded in the "It's A Wonderful Pint", when in a telephone call he addresses himself as "The Old Man With No Name". Averted with the Prof, as we do actually found out his name, but it's only given when his mother appears, and she only appears twice.

* {{Duex Ex Machina}}: After going through a bombardment of basically every hangover he's never had when the pub's temporarily run out of booze, Terry's temporarily dead. How does this get resolved? Simple: a pint's poured and sent down his throat --> instant resurrection. And they say beer's bad for you. Wait...
