YMMV Tropes for Da Bungalow


  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Lots. Lots and lots. Da Dick And Dom Dairies includes quite a few of them under the heading of “totally random moments”. This clip is made of one BLAM after another... the Virgin Queen? Cow giving birth to an auctioneer? … Is- is that schoolboy climbing inside the cow???
    • And what were the balloon-headed guys who lined up to pop themselves and die ever actually about?
      • Tracey Beaker and Dom had a round of "Bogies" in a shop. Need we say more?
  • Funny Moments: Many over the four years! Two memorable ones are the time a child phoned in by accident who didn't know what the programme was, or even receive the channel it went out on, and the time they shouted Bogies in a crowded theatre.
    • Or when they showed up on a Blue Peter cooking slot.
    • Another classic is during 'Make Dick Sick' when a very attractive Mrs Mop shows up to clean Dick up. Cue Dick hammering on the dirty button to get her to come back out, and Dom telling him that he hopes Dick will be sick all through the show. It gets even better when Dom takes a seat to try Mrs Mop out for himself.
  • Ho Yay: Dick and Dom are real-life Heterosexual Life-Partners, and thus have plenty of double-act chemistry. Then there's the Crossdressing, all the SecurityClings, and the way they will call each other darling and sweetheart on-screen... There isn't a big slash fandom, but it has plenty of Shipping Goggles moments to choose from.
  • Periphery Demographic: Hungover students.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • One thing that hardly ever gets acknowledged about the show is that it featured one of the earliest ever TV appearances by Greg Davies, who appeared as "Massive Greg and his Amazing Human Tortoise" (an old man in a tortoise shell) in their "Strangely Talented" segment in 2003.
    • One Bungalowhead that appeared on the show back in 2002 was a then 9-year old Roman Kemp, who has since grown up to become one of the leading presenters of Capital FM. It should be noted, however, that he wasn't a complete unknown at the time of his appearance though - he was already known as the son of Martin Kemp.
  • Squick: There were two instances where Dom threw up on live tv while attempting to break world records. One was for the fastest time to drink a 2 litre bottle of soda (though he managed to run off to a spot where the camera couldn't quite see what he was doing) and another where he attempted to eat a raw onion (though the cameras actually did catch it on film this time).
