Teleporter Accident: In a news report about low-cost beaming (as a parody of low-cost flying). We meet a woman who literally lost her tongue, her husband who's reduced to a head, and another woman who gained a second nose on her arm. Which she got from another TV moderator, as we see later. | |

| Switch! (1997) / int_32821ceb | comment |
The Unintelligible: German singer Herbert Grönemeyer (somewhat Truth in Television). And his mother too. Hoecker appeared as a candidate wearing a funny nose on Jeopardy! Essentially, you could only understand the vowels of his speech. This went on for a while, then the showmaster asked him to take off the fake nose. Which he did. And then you saw (er, heard) that he always talked like that. | |

No Swastikas: Quite remarkably for a German show, this is subverted to Refuge in Audacity levels in Obersalzberg (a parody of Stromberg, the German version of The Office). Here, none other than Adolf Hitler is the Expy for the Stromberg/Brent-character. And swastikas are everywhere in plain sight: On the wall papers, on coffee mugs, as patterns on clothes... | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: The comedians play the game "Who am I?" (where you put a sticky note with the name of a famous person on your forehead). One of them (a bald guy!) guesses correctly that he's supermodel Claudia Schiffer and says it out loud. Then, suddenly fans of Claudia ask for his autograph, and a photographer pays him to shoot a topless photo. Until the sticky note falls off... | |

That Makes Me Feel Angry: Heidi regularly informs us how she feels (excited, frex). From looking at her face, you could never tell.. | |

Evil Gloating | |
| Switch! (1997) / int_c0d598fe | comment |
Evil Gloating: In their Xena: Warrior Princess parody. The villain has captured Gabrielle, then talks a lot about how he's going to kill her, immediately, right now... giving Xena enough time to arrive and save the day. Which genuinely surprises the villain. | |

| Switch! (1997) / int_c3fbac64 | comment |
Bestiality Is Depraved: They have to guess the word "zoo" on Hot Streak, so the first player starts with "you like animals, don't you?", and the second player suspiciously counters, "What do you mean by that?", and it ends with, "But that happened just one time!" | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Nelly van Sale and Mister Snoot, parodying various sales channels. Also, a candidate in Wetten Dass (very popular German show where people bet that they can achieve something awesome, like recognizing the color of crayons by taste) bets that he can take ten glasses and put them, in just ten minutes, NEXT to each other - with his four helpers! | |
