The short films were mainly parodies on known genres whereby she quickly got the reputation to make contrarian humor. Some episodes can be characterized as mockumentary (fake documentary), a style that was often not yet applied for that time. The sixth and final episode of the first series was a persiflage on a talk show, entitled Back to Normal with Eddie Monsoon. This episode was never put into production because he was deemed too vulgar.

In the second series of the television season in ' 83-' 84 was broadcast, was included an episode titled Eddie Monsoon-A Life?, a mockumentary about the life of Eddie Monsoon. Eddie Monsoon is an obscene, drunken television presenter, played by Adrian Edmondson (the name of the character is a corruption of his surname). His comeback on television with the show "Back to Normal with Eddie Monsoon" failed because he used foul language to such an extent that the producer has decided not to broadcast the show. Breaking the fourth wall this is a style that The Comic Strip more frequently wielded and especially in French and Saunders returns frequently in subsequent years. The name Eddie Monsoon was later used by Jennifer Saunders for the main character in the comedy Absolutely Fabulous as a tribute to Adrian Edmondson, who was then her husband now.

Over the next four years the Group makes two films, The Supergrass (1985) and Eat The Rich (1987), and three separate episodes. The first, The Bullshitters, was not broadcast under the name of The Comic Strip.Partly because of the core only Richardson has played and in part because the co-author Keith Allen rather not wanted to be associated with The Comic Strip.

Meanwhile, The Comic Strip Presents ... then become cult success and are well-known British actors in line to play guest roles.
