** Most of the insults used to trigger the "Nazi sympathizer" in "Boston Jury Duty" are made of this. Such insults include "Carl Yastrzemski ran like a woman. Tom Brady listens to Abba. You ever notice how the state of Massachusetts looks like a forearm with a limp wrist at the end of it? Larry Byrd...'''sucks.'''"

[[http://www.youtube.com/user/BaratsAndBereta Barats and Bereta]] are an Internet comedy duo who write, act, and post skits on their Youtube channel as well as their own [[http://www.baratsandbereta.com/ Homepage]]. Some of their older, better known works are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhcA4Ry65FU Mother's Day]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtEp5yc-g3A Auto Insurance]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiXhQUym0fA Flag Makeover]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fad6eZTDikA Douche Off]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvltzwkUEEA Mantage]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5rF_X-8LiI Jesus Pwned U]]. There are also some short series, such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAXwaqbRol4 Ad Guys]].

They are probably known most for their usage of MundaneMadeAwesome and NarmCharm as vehicles for their work.

* CaptainObvious: From "Rulebreakers": "We're the Smiths, because that's our last name!"
* CloudCuckooLander: Barats and Bereta both, depending on what character they're playing. Barats ''especially'' in the "Lolcats" video.

* CharacterBlog: After Barats' "fight" with Bereta, he actually did make a Youtube channel called [[http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=baratsandnobodyelse&annotation_id=annotation_528441&feature=iv BaratsAndNobodyElse]].
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Initial reactions to "Foodball" has Website/YouTube commenters complaining about how the Dynamic Duo is wasting food, despite the fact that there's a short segment in the video where the pair consider feeding a homeless man with the food they're wasting and then [[ComedicSociopath ruin the rest of the food he could have eaten.]]
* ComedicSociopath: Both guys in "Foodball" for stomping on the banana that could have fed a homeless man.
* ConstructionCatcalls: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DViogbPTH4 This sketch teaches you how to do it right.]]

* GlassesPull: The defense attorney in "Boston Jury Duty."

** "F U!" is a video composed of three people flipping off annoying people in the most amazingly over-the-top fashions possible. The first person lets his dog shit in a guy's yard right next to his paper, the second person, a girl, blows a kiss to someone's boyfriend while the girlfriend is walking right next to him, and the third guy drank all his roommate's beers. It must be seen to be truly appreciated.
** "Boston Jury Duty" is one big TakeThat at the New York Yankees. It's a slow burn, but the pay off is so worth it.
** "Hypnosis" ends with one to Music/JustinBieber.
