There are many sketches on the show, parodying current TV adverts and shows. These include: • Video game adverts for the Fony Playbox/slab (Wintendoh Piii in series 2), advertising
Wii-style games that are based on useless or unusual activities, like
anal sex and attracting a bartender's attention • American, Welsh, Scottish and Australian remakes of British, American, Welsh, and Australian shows with stereotypical American, Welsh, Scottish and Australian twists. Such shows have included
Last of the Summer Wine,

BBC News 24, renamed just News in series 2 • Nursery Crime Squad, an apparent
ITV drama about police arresting fairytale characters for crimes such as blowing down the houses of three little pigs, and eating Red Riding Hood. • The Charmer - a spoof of so-called 'sexy' ITV dramas. Bishop plays a ladies man who, while seducing an attractive young woman, finds himself inept at completing a simple task (i.e. putting a condom on), so he shouts 'MUM!' very loudly as a way of calling for the
unseen character's help • Free DVDs with

This always leads to him injuring and supposedly raping his colleague, ignoring the insistence that there were no sexual crimes and physical abuse involved. He often comments just before he is about to rape his colleague, "Then what happened? Oh, God no. Then you raped him, didn't you? You dirty fucking bastard". • The Pun Detective who works out the series of events related to the victim. For example, when an ice cream man is murdered and his body is covered in various toppings, he says "He's topped himself!" • Gary, a man who constantly imitates a radio announcer, even inviting 'listeners' to text or email in, which greatly annoys his girlfriend. During these sketches, "
Eple" by the Norwegian electronic music group
Röyksopp plays as background music. In August 2008, his girlfriend left him as a result of his actions, despite already telling him a few seconds ago she'll leave him if he continues with the charade • On set with
Colin Farrell, who always turns up naked, despite starring in children's films or merely providing a voice over • A parody of
Walkers Crisps under the name of
Christopher Walken as 'Walkens Crisps', typically parodying one of the films he stars in such as
The Deer Hunter • A show called "Little Hitler" about Hitler as a boy in a Nazi uniform • "The Trustafarians", a pair of upper middle-class gentlemen in their early twenties, expressing their perpetual and facetious annoyance at the various minor inconveniences in their lives usually related to monetary loss. Their catch-phrase is "...it's a bit annoying..." • "Jesus Christ The Series" which usually involves something bad happening to somebody and they say Jesus Christ! only to see Jesus Christ next to them and usually says sorry, for example in one episode, a football team scored a goal. Their player shouted Jesus Christ! And Jesus was seen hanging from the goal in a crucifix position • A "Die Hard" movie starring
