Sketches
The Big Fat Gypsy Kardashians
This is an amalgamation of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and The Kardashians. During the series, we follow Kim's marriage to Kanye . The whole sketch shows how trivial both programmes are.
The Hairy Lairy Bikers
This is a cruder take on the Hairy Bikers.
Come Dine with Me
He-Man and Skeletor star in this episode of Come Dine With Me.
The Exciting Life of Mark Wright & Michelle Keegan
Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan are seen doing boring, uninteresting, everyday things.
This Morning
Lemon plays the part of Holly Willoughby. Some scenes focus around phone-ins, fashion advice and medical help. Many jokes are made about Holly's breasts. Other minor characters include Denise Robertson, Dr Chris Steele and Gino D'Acampo.
Backstage with Cheryl & Kimberley
Cheryl tells Kimberley about what has happened to her recently. Both stories are later cleared up by Kimberley to actually be films. After realising that Kimberley's right, Cheryl shrugs this off as having "been under a lot of pressure recently".
OptimalFacialSolutions.com
An overenthusiastic, stereotypical American plastic surgeon whose approach is rather lazy.
doodles!
A typical 90s kids' art programme but with a presenter who continually makes sexual references.
The Great British Piss Up
With a similar format to The Great British Bake Off, this sees six people trying to get as drunk as possible in the space of an hour.
The Urban Fox
This sees a well-meaning fox terrorising its neighbourhood.
Oh no! There's something wrong with my body I must go on television and talk about it
A bizarre take on Embarrassing Bodies. The host of the show is Dr Chrispian, a strange version of real-life host and doctor, Dr Christian Jessen. Dr Chrispian is a somewhat egotistical centaur with an "incredible physique".
Ant & Dec Undercover
Ant & Dec go undercover for Saturday Night Takeaway but it sees their costumes as unrealistic and not very convincing.
Jedward 2050
This sees Jedward as old men and generally ends with them going down the bookies.
Billy & Miley's European Vacation
Miley Cyrus and her father are touring Britain. Miley's father is hoping some of the British politeness will turn Miley into a lady, however she normally ends up getting her breasts out and doing something inappropriate.
Downtoon
A tongue-in-cheek look at how Downton Abbey would look if written by the writers of Geordie Shore in order to appeal to a younger audience.
Dickinson's Any Old Shit
This is a typical auction programme hosted by David Dickinson, portrayed by Lemon. This version sees viewers bring in everyday rubbish in order to make a few pence. Such items include half a bottle of bleach spray, adult magazines and a jacket potato with coleslaw and cheese. For some reason, this David Dickinson blows raspberries and makes bizarre noises after every other sentences.
Ed Sheeran Watch
A Springwatch-style programme following Ed Sheeran, who is living in a forest. The voiceover is provided by Bill Oddie, once presenter of Springwatch.
Keith & Paddy's Film Bit
Keith Lemon and Paddy McGuinness reenact famous movie scenes but the scenes are normally ruined by Keith who tends to go too far.
Cooking With Sloth
A cooking show hosted by Sloth from the Goonies.
