Recap / Black Books S 1 E 5 The Big Lockout

Go To

  • Aroused by Their Voice: Howell's voice leaves Fran unable to resist.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Manny misses being told what the security code is when he sees a Subbuteo player in the workman's hair.
  • Brick Joke: The dead bees.
  • Burger Fool: Bernard becomes one for a short time.
  • Curse Cut Short: Bernard raging at being locked out is cut when we cut to Manny on the other wide of the soundproof glass.
  • False Reassurance: On the new security for the shop:
    Workman: You know the CIA?
    Manny: Yeah.
    Workman: They don't use this system. They probably use something a lot better.
  • The Immodest Orgasm: Unable to get off during Howell's radio segment as she had originally planned, Fran decides to call his house phone instead. The result is a very, very confused Howell trying to question Fran to what is going on, as she invokes the hell out of this trope, thinking she has been seriously injured.
  • Pun: Howell to Fran:
    Howell: You look Fran-tastic!
