  • The discussion of Australia being in Eurovision 2015 with David Mitchell:
    Josh: Bad. Don't like it.
    Adam: Why?
    Josh: Because Australia... They're very competitive... they ruin everything... Keep 'em out of the Eurovision Song Contest, keep them out of the World Cup - if I had my way they wouldn't be allowed to compete for The Ashes.
    [...]
    Alex: I think the Eurovision's complete shite anyway. Did you know Blue came eleventh, when they went in it in 2011. Eleventh! Eleventh! You get some knobhead from Lithuania win, for a folk dance, Blue come eleventh - fuck it.
    Josh: I don't know whether he thinks they should have come higher or lower! That seems about right to me!
  • The end of series 7 episode 4. It starts with Scottish boyband Rewind, one of whose members collapsed wearing 12 layers of clothing on a plane, performing Nelly's "Hot in Herre" wearing 12 layers of clothing. They all collapse, only to be interrupted by a man who Josh found on the internet "defining bad dancing." Everyone gets up to join in the dancing, only for Mexican gangster El Chapo (presumably not the actual one) - who guest Amy Poehler has called her boyfriend throughout the show - to arrive on a motorbike, give Amy a rose, and for them to ride off. The rest of them just keep dancing.
  • Adam throws a mic to Alex without thinking. The look on his face when he realises - the minute it's left his hand - is a beauty
    Alex: Let's face it, of all the stunts that aren't going to work, throwing a mic for me to catch is gonna be number one.
  • Adam and Alex do impressions of Josh, where both exaggerate his West-London accent to the point where you'd swear they were impersonating a woodland sprite rather than a real life human.
    • In the same clip, Josh's impersonation of Alex, where makes hand gestures that could (and probably were) mocking Alex's disability, then quickly covers himself by saying it's because Alex is a Trekkie.
  • During the series that ran alongside the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, the group ran their own series of Paralympic events, using the facilities of the 2012 Games. Inexplicably, Duncan James of Blue was there cheering the teams on ("Is that Duncan from Blue?"), and even competed in one of the events. This ended up coming full circle in the 11th episode - Rosie Jones, in Tokyo at the time and covering highlights of the wheelchair basketball event on that day, is absolutely befuddled by the appearance of a cardboard cutout of Duncan in one of the empty seats.
    • One of the events was a diving contest. Adam was the first to go, psyching himself up as it looked like he was going to go from the highest board... only to cut to him jumping off the LOWEST. Everyone else were disappointed enough to just call it off entirely.
  • A running gag throughout the 2020 Games series was pointing out pretty much every time anyone on the Channel 4 team covering the games rubbed it in to Adam that Australia were getting thrashed.
  • Johnny Vegas derails a promo, confessing to murdering a man who shouted at dogs, having a wank over a nun, and witnessing a man who caught a carp and stuck his penis in its mouth.
    Johnny: He should have lost his fucking rod license. Balls deep, he was, in the carp. You know what fish are like– they look shocked enough, don't they?
