Butt-Monkey: Magician Paps O'Sullivan, who is always shown to be on the verge of a breakdown. In one episode he starts by complaining that not a single person came to his latest magic show and his Extras Video claims that he is a convicted dine-and-dasher. Also Neighbour George, whose new business ventures are always ruined by Bikies. And Linda, who suffers a growing list of injuries.

Continuity Nod: Linda's injuries stack and BJ's sunburns gets increasingly worse during the show's run. Can also be seen in the "Try New Things" intro after 'Nourishment Week', where Linda's friend Amy's face has Trina's face plastered over it. Goes a step beyond in the final episode when Linda is removed from the show, and Trina's face is plastered over Linda's face.

Deliberate VHS Quality: The show is presented as Found Footage from VHS tapes of a show made in the late 80s and early 90s. Some scenes are shown in full screen with HD visuals.

Biting-the-Hand Humor: This is a show funded by the Australian Government that constantly refers to the AFP (Australian Federal Police) as 'Dogs' and 'Pigs'.
