Self-Deprecation: Constant jokes at the expense of the program itself and the people appearing in it. Neil frequently wished the viewer luck in finding the remote, reasoning that nobody would watch This Week unless they were incapable of switching over to anything else. When Diane Abbott occasionally reappeared after ceasing to be a regular, Neil describes her as "back by absolutely no public demand whatsoever". Many of the male regulars had "Sad Man" among their nicknames. Neil regularly insulted Portillo's garish shirts.

Running Gag: Whenever John Bercow note Speaker of the House of Commons 2009-2019 had been the subject of a significant portion of the discussion, the closing title sequence included Jimmy Dean's Big Bad John played over clips of his procession through the Palace of Westminster.
