  • Roy's Shirt: Pac-Man (level 256) edit »
  • Goof: At the funeral when Richmond gives Denholm's mother a Cradle of Filth CD, he tells her to listen to track 4 and says that it is called "Coffin Fodder". In fact "Coffin Fodder" is track 9 on the album Nymphetamine. edit »
  • Moss: Roy is stuck underneath a lady's desk.
    Jen: What? Still?
    Moss: Look, I know that normally this would be very funny but he's been under there too long for reasonable explanation. If that woman looks down she's going to assume he's a desk rabbit.
    Jen: What's a desk rabbit?
    Moss: I just made that up. But that's probably going to be what they start to call people like Roy. But Roy's not a desk rabbit, he's my best friend. edit »
  • Jen: How come you never see goths driving cars?
    Richmond: Oh we drive cars. We're just like you really, except we listen to Cradle of Filth.
    Jen: I assume Cradle Of Filth is a band, and it's not just an actual cradle of filth.
    Richmond: Ooh, no! That would be horrible! edit »
  • Roy: (singing) We don't need no education.
    Moss: Yes you do. You've just used a double negative. edit »
  • Roy: At last things are back to normal. As long as no one goes through that door! (pointing to an old, creepy, menacing green door) edit »
  • Moss: Hello, Richmond. How are things?
    Richmond: Well, you know, not brilliant. edit »

    The Red Door

    The Bottom Line: "Not my favorite storyline"

    I can't really say that this episode was a "miss" per say, but it was a little shy off the mark. Still funny, but simply not up to par with the first three episodes. ...Continue »

    The Red Door

    The Bottom Line: "Character development"

    Jen decides the office needs some more light and more space, but notices a red door before she can convince anyone to change the delicate ecosystem balance. Roy's well-tuned troubleshooting is thwarted, and he has to actually go upstairs, but gets trapped ...Continue »
