Kids' Show Mascot Parody: "Shirty, the Slightly Aggressive Bear", who would inevitably get one of his Berserk Buttons pushed and fly off the handle. | |

Heroic Dog | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_21af4dc3 | comment |
Heroic Dog: Parodied with the Charlie the Wonderdog sketches, whose main joke is that the dog is (while harmless) so badly trained he has to be pulled everywhere by his lead to make it appear as if he's doing anything. | |

Stop Drowning and Stand Up | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_2c467b4b | comment |
Stop Drowning and Stand Up: In one of the Charlie the Wonderdog sketches, one of the kids attempts to fake drowning (with a caption reading "Simulated drowning" onscreen), even though the water isn't even up to his waist. He still needs Charlie to pull him with a rope that mysteriously appeared around him, and the kids still needs Charlie to run for help. | |

Appeal to Worse Problems: In the Dinner Party Conversation sketch, Vikki Blanche is the kind of guest who can't help but bring the mood down, mentioning a recent local attempted murder out of nowhere, as well as bringing up starving children in Somalia. | |

Crappy Carnival: The Pissweak World sketches. Highlights include the waterslide (a regular slide with someone pouring water from a bucket down it) and a Flying Fox (which is closer to the ground than the kid using it is tall). It doesn't help that their mascot appears to be Shirty. | |

Almost Famous Name | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_515388d9 | comment |
Almost Famous Name: As a Running Gag in the second series, each episode ended with Tony announcing that Mick had booked a famous singer, only for Mick to admit that he had screwed up and booked a lesser celebrity with a vaguely similar name. Among others, Pete Smith performed "Dude Looks Like a Lady," Mike Whitney performed "I Will Always Love You" and Simon Townsend performed "Who Are You?". Exaggerated when Mick was supposed to book Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and ended up with Al Grassby, Leo "Lucky" Grills, Christopher "Nudge" Truswell and Gwen Plumb. | |

Parody Assistance | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_60c53080 | comment |
Parody Assistance: The first seasonhad a recurring Gag Dub sketch called The Olden Days, based on Rush (1974). In the season final, the stars of Rush, Brendon Lunney and John Waters (1948), appeared in the studio for a brief scene where they dubbed over Tony Martin and Mick Molloy. Similarly, the second season had a Gag Dub sketch called Bargearse, based on the cop show Bluey (1976), whose star Lucky Grills appeared in the studio audience at one point to call them out on taking the piss out of him every week. | |

Tongue Twister: Tony visits a shop called Stacks of Slax and asks an employee named Amanda why it's called that when the slacks are not in stacks but on racks. "Why don't you call the shop Racks of Slax? Or maybe Stacks of Slax on Racks? Or maybe Racks of Dacks in Stacks, possibly. Sounding a bit like a Dr. Seuss story, really." | |

Gag Dub | |

Gag Dub: Two recurring sketches, The Olden Days, based on the historical drama Rush (1974) in season 1, and Bargearse, based on the cop show Bluey (1976), in season 2. After the last episode of the former, they cut to Mick and Tony in the studio complaining about the show, saying that The Olden Days only worked because the original was so good. The joke is that they're being dubbed over by John Waters (1948) and Brendon Lunney from Rush, who then came out into the studio to great applause. | |

Political Overcorrectness: In the dinner party sketch, Rob plays this kind of character, bringing up out of nowhere that he's not flying British Airways to London because they still fly to South Africa (this was of course during Apartheid). He also considers himself more of a feminist than anyone at the table, demonstrated when he goes on a rant about Basic Instinct. Tom then attributes this to this to him being an Australian Democrat, but Rob interrupts and claims to vote Independent instead. | |

Insane Proprietor: A regular segment showed low-budget local ads from around Australia and mocked the hell out them. Naturally this included a fair number of 'insane proprietor' ads. Some of these were so popular that the show made multiple returns to check out what the latest installment in the ads were. | |

Stage Magician | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_d9d864e2 | comment |
Stage Magician: One sketch as Santo as a performer who can supposedly send telepathic messages to another person. He tries to use Mick as a plant, but he's not very good at it, not least because he was already on the stage when he was supposed to be sitting in the audience. He also blows the routine, which consists of Mick standing there blindfolded while Santo tries to get him to identify things that he's borrowed from the audience with not very subtle clues: for example, he picks up a pen and asks "What have I got ink my hand?", or picks up a watch and asks "What have I got in my hand, this time?" Mick gets the first one right, but guesses "A Magazine!" the second. The third time it's a packet of cigarettes and Santo tries to get this across with a fake coughing fit. Mick guesses that it's a packet of butter menthols. | |

Word Salad Lyrics | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_e18675e6 | comment |
Word Salad Lyrics: Tony's parody of the R.E.M. song "Stand", though his point is that it isn't much weirder than most of Michael Stipe's actual lyrics. | |

The Heckler | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_e83503c8 | comment |
The Heckler: Tony and Mick's story about their first attempt at stand-up comedy (more like a vaudeville routine) ending with them being abused by the audience (Mick's mother threw the first bottle), leading them to track down the people responsible and heckle them back wherever they happen to be working. It includes going to the grave of someone who had died in the intervening time and throwing bottles at the (obviously polystyrene) headstone. But when they then try their routine again for the Late Show audience, they get the same result. | |

War Is Hell | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Parodied in a sketch about Vietnam veterans angsting about how coming home was the worst, due to things largely unrelated to the war such as their luggage going missing. | |

Disappearing Box | |
| The Late Show (1992) / int_f842fb67 | comment |
Disappearing Box: In the sketch with Santo as a magician, he attempts a disappearing trick, which consists of Mick stepping into the box and "disappearing" for less than a second before Santo pulls back the curtain and says "He's back!" | |
