| Chewin' the Fat | comment |
A sketch show from Scotland. Very famous in its home country, but almost unheard of anywhere else, and produced by The BBC. Single-handedly responsible for a lot of Memetic Mutation, which, again, confuses the hell out of anyone not Scottish.Some of the Running Gags and recurring characters used in the show: Interpreting for the Neds — A Violent Glaswegian man translating serious news stories for the benefit of the city's underbelly. Grumpy Old Men Jack and Victor, who got their own Spin-Off in Still Game. An uptight teacher who recoils at the very mention of anything sexual. Particularly funny when she has to teach the class sex education — naturally, they know more about it than she does. The two lighthouse keepers. One of them is cheerfully doing something bizarre and/or dangerous, and the other is irritated by it. The dialogue, in every sketch, goes as follows: The Banter boys. Two Ambiguously Gay Kelvinside men who find everything Glaswegians say simply delightful, much to the bemusement of the Glaswegians. The Van: People are caught in various serious situations until they are interrupted by the sound of the ice-cream van, at which point one of the characters dashes off to buy something while another holds them back for a moment trying to decide what they want. | |

| Chewin' the Fat / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The whole Stauner sketch, where a family is horrified to discover that their teenage son has an erection seems much more like an accidental outing that just goes From Bad to Worse. | |

| Chewin' the Fat / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: One Jack and Victor sketch has Victor mocking Jack for reading a history book about World War 2, since he knows full well what happened, as opposed to reading a fiction book. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Chewin' the Fat / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Series 1 had Greg and Ford appearing at the beginning, the middle and the end of each show as themselves, portrayed as flatmates discussing several things. One of these skits was an early version of Bish and Bosh's "too far" sketches. The segments were dropped in Series 2, although the opening titles (showing Greg and Ford rushing back to their flat in order to present the show) remained until the end of Series 3. The first series also featured a number of sketches set outside of Scotland (i.e. Ford and Greg playing American police officers or rednecks). These were largely eliminated in later series as the show increasingly played up its "Scottishness." | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| Chewin' the Fat / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma / Asshole Victim: One recurring sketch, which involves a Jerkass husband constantly berating his wife in front of their friend, always ends in him being hurt/humiliated in some way. The ramblers get their own back on the Neds by tricking them into climbing over a fence just as it's being electrified, sending the current straight through their groins. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Chewin' the Fat / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Malcolm from the lighthouse sketches is a horrible friend who constantly harasses Duncan to no end and always wearing a slimy grin on his face. In their final sketch, Malcolm outright kills him and leaves the lighthouse. Same goes for that girl on the scooter. She's responsible for a hazard and uses her cuteness to get off scot-free. A bus driver is caught on tape not only refusing to let a customer on, but then running her over. His boss lets him off because apparently she "smell like piss". | |

Violent Glaswegian: The foundation of half of the show. The "Big Man" is a Scottish gangster who is so terrifying that even the police are scared of him, and when one stops him, he apologizes, and offers to help him dump one of his daughter's boyfriends in the Clyde. His weapon is a hammer with a stanley knife attached to it. | |
