The Peter Serafinowicz Show was a sketch show made by Peter Serafinowicz and several actors that you might recognise from other comedy shows. It lasted seven episodes, including a Christmas Special aired a year after the rest of the series. Features several memorable sketches, such as the Brian Butterfield adverts for various services that he has come up with (including a karaoke bar or a diet plan) and looks very similar to well known injury compensation adverts. There are also parodies of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Heads Or Tails, Which Hand Is It In?) and Sherlock Holmes, among other things. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| The Peter Serafinowicz Show / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Largely averted, although there are a few examples: Brian Butterfield, who in no way resembles the bloke from the PI Helpline ads. May have stretched into Parody Displacement by this point, as you'll see by looking into the comment section of the linked video and finding it full of Butterfield references. Derek Bum in the Kitchen Gun/Toilet Grenade adverts, which bear no resemblance to Barry Scott of Cillit Bang fame. Michael-6 is absolutely not a robotic version of Jeremy Kyle. | |

Secret Test | |
| The Peter Serafinowicz Show / int_1606a707 | comment |
Secret Test: One sketch has a job interviewer inform an applicant that he's passed a hidden "test"... then failed another, then passed another, and so on repeatedly. At one point, pointing out that the entire thing is nonsense is a Secret Test which the applicant passes. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: In the Laurel and Hardy parody, "Soap and Water", Hardy hits Laurel over the head, causing him to launch into an avalanche of "fucks". This scandalises his partner and a nearby police officer - and seems to be unintentional on his part. | |

Parody Commercial: The show is littered with these, as if it were an actual ad break in between sketches. "Toilet Grenade" takes the commercial part to the next level, as it's displayed as an In-Universe ad break in between the two halves of "Heads or Tails". | |

"Cavemen vs. Astronauts" Debate | |
| The Peter Serafinowicz Show / int_49d5dd74 | comment |
"Cavemen vs. Astronauts" Debate: We learn from Ringo Starr that towards the end of The Beatles' career as a group, they began to argue over more and more ridiculous things—including whether or not they should go to the toilet. Eventually, Yoko persuades John to give in, and while on the toilet they write the world's first chart-topping song about taking a dump. | |

Black Comedy Rape: Occurs in a Sherlock Holmes sketch. When Holmes solves a case, he unexpectedly forces himself on Watson. In the second part, Holmes explains that his emotions run high whenever he solves a case, and concludes that they shall never speak of it again... until a letter gives him a vital clue to another case, and he has his way with Watson again. | |

Ambiguous Syntax | |
| The Peter Serafinowicz Show / int_5aa4ec8a | comment |
Ambiguous Syntax: "Elvene One-Hair" is built entirely on this, playing on how one uses "my hair" in the singular to refer to multiple hairs. If there weren't reference to the product's name (and it weren't accompanied by video of an almost entirely bald man brushing a single long strand), it could be mistaken for a regular haircare ad. | |

Try Everything: The BBN News reader mostly resorts to this, as the showrunners apparently don't actually tell him the news. Exaggerated when he finds his name has been changed, but as usual, they don't tell him to what. He resorts to naming every first name and surname, a task which takes him almost the entire episode. He eventually finds that he's now Zeke Aaronovitch. | |

Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket | |
| The Peter Serafinowicz Show / int_a17dac32 | comment |
Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket: The people in the Butterfield Time Line advert are apparently unable to tell the time so they phone up Brian Butterfield to ask him what time it is, and the Gem Mania infomercial parodies this trope by showing someone unable to put gems on their clothes. | |

Celebrity Endorsement | |
| The Peter Serafinowicz Show / int_a5d817b0 | comment |
Celebrity Endorsement: "Dickens Fruit Corners", a series of Charles Dickens' books with fruit jam pots in the corner, is endorsed by Charles Dickens himself. Yes, the real Dickens, not an actor, which is clear from how much he clearly hates that his works are being debased like this. | |

| The Peter Serafinowicz Show / int_ab940e63 | comment |
Robo Speak: A fairly mild example with Michael-6, who is usually capable of speaking normal sentences (though in Machine Monotone), but he does slip into robotic cliché on occasion. | |

Evil Sounds Raspy: In the Évile commercial, the woman who has sold her soul to Satan for beauty sounds notably raspy, much more so than her older-looking daughter (who has a fairly normal voice). | |

Take That!: One O News sketch mocked the frequent re-releases of Star Wars by showing a new version that was George Lucas' vision all along: a movie made up entirely of opening crawl. The original version of "Imagine" (mentioned in "I Am Great!" Song) offers a very cynical view of John Lennon. | |

Brick Joke: In the "Riddles to Riches" sketch, it randomly cuts to demands that the viewers attempt to kill the French Ambassador, and a caller mentions that she is going to do so, which is brushed off relatively quickly. Later, in that episode's O News sketch, it is reported that the French Ambassador has died of a "mysterious illness". | |
