  • While most of the scene is hilarious, when Ed Byrne complains, Andy (who had been at the microphone) steps aside to let him have it. The only reason Ed didn't get it that time is because Hugh hurried over instead. And then Andy helps Ed get over there by giving him a push.
  • Frankie Boyle deviating from his normal style of humour, to tell a standup where he mentions a conversation with his daughter. In it he told her that she was the thing he loved the most "in the whole wide world." The thing his daughter loved the most was sausages. See it here
  • When Dara Ó Briain and Ed Byrne joke and reminisce at length. It's clear that they've been very good friends for a long time, and indeed were the best man at each other's weddings.
  • John Robins saying that he ended up really missing his girlfriend, Sara Pascoe (another panelist), whilst she was away in Australia.
    John Robins My flat has blank grief-walled cell of despair, cause I see it without my girlfriend in it for the first time. My mind just begins to fill with all the everyday things that loose their magic without her because that's what I think love is. It's a domestic thing.
  • From Milton Jones in Unlikely Lonely Hearts Ads: Agoraphobic seeks claustrophobic for doorstep encounters.
  • The Christmas special in Series 6 manages to have two rather ambiguous ones — first, guest Adam Hills' tale of a Santa who visited his dad's plane which was flying at Midnight on Christmas Day, which gets derailed by Frankie. Second, in what must be a first for this show, a fan drawing submitted by a viewer, age 11, is proudly displayed — it shows Daleks attacking the show's set. And Frankie has taken their side.
  • Adam Hills talking about how much he admires (and even loves) Canada, which he specifically says he's doing because Stewart Francis (a Canadian) is present.
  • Andy Murray's various appearances. He's always greeted by a standing ovation from both the panellists and the audience, and while the jokes about him sometimes stray into Refuge in Audacity/Crosses the Line Twice territory, every time the camera cuts to him and his girlfriend they're either grinning from ear to ear, or just plain laughing their heads off.
  • It's a little thing, but when Rosie Jones was on the panel, for Scenes We'd Like to See everyone stood on the floor rather than on top of the little stair so she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. You can also see Tom and Hugh helping Rosie walk over to her position and keeping her steady.
