Nearly as scary as rubber ducks
(When watching Balls of Steel. Actors trick members of the public and do stunts. In this stunt, one man is going to dive into a 'pool of piranhas', but misses and falls into a fire, and jumps into the pool to put out the fire. The 'pool of piranhas' is a paddling pool, and the piranhas are obviously plastic toys.)
C - Would piranhas eat humans?

C - Are those real piranhas?

When a mummy and daddy love each other very much...

C - I don't get it.
D - Two females make babies by becoming a mum and dad.
C - Ohhhh. Oh I get it now.

Real bodies would attract crows, right?
Do not read this post if you do not like violence or gore. Skip to the ones below.
(When watching a documentary about Vlad the Impaler. He is said to be the man Bram Stoker's Dracula is based on. He killed people by impaling them on large wooden stakes, and then raising the poles to display the bodies. Most people were killed by their own weight forcing the poles further in when they were displayed. One instance created a 'forest of bodies' to scare away an invading army.)
M - I wonder if this is where scarecrows came from.
(We would all be intrigued to know.)

They could have had a 3D three
(We're all watching Catchphrase and competing against each other. A clue appears on the screen with the letters "dDD". The camera angle moves to show they are three dimensional.)
A - 3D!
(D and M both realise this at the same time, and nod their agreement. C looks confused.)
C - I don't get it.
A - There are three 'd's. And they are three dimensional.
C - But why are there three 'd's? And why is one small and two big?
D - It's just to make it more complex. And probably to stop someone from saying 'triple D'.
C - Oh. I still don't get it.
A - 3D!
