!!SHUT UP!:
* AsHimself:
** Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin plays himself, first as one of Anthony's daydream, then in an ice cream commercial.
** WebVideo/Markiplier and WebVideo/JennaMarbles play themselves.
* BaitAndSwitch: Ian thinks that the guy who runs [=YouTube=] wouldn't just talk to them without an appointment, nor would his name be "Mr. [=YouTube=]". The secretary then tells both of them that Mr. [=YouTube=] ''will'' see them now.
* BaitAndSwitchCompassion: Ian accidentally opens the door and smacks a man carrying a bunch of drinks, spilled them all over himself. When it seems Ian is going to apologize, all he has to say is how hilarious it was.
* BodyUploading: Steve [=YouTube=] keeps a physical portal into the [=YouTube=] website behind his closet door.
* TheCameo: Harley Morenstein (of WebVideo/EpicMealTime fame) plays the disgruntled mailman.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The BigBad, Steve [=YouTube=], tries to trap Ian and Anthony in [=YouTube=] forever because their antics increase viewership in all the videos they find themselves in.
* EvilIsPetty: Steve [=YouTube=] says that one of the reasons he plans on trapping Ian and Anthony in his website forever is because they didn't think his penis joke was that funny.
* FictionalVideoGame: One of the videos Ian and Anthony find themselves in is a LetsPlay video of WebVideo/Markiplier playing ''Gorilla Chainsaw Massacre'', a game where you play a gorilla with a chainsaw as the VillainProtagonist.
* ForTheLulz: Ian seems to think that his pranks are hilarious and does them all the time when he's bored (which is all the time).
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Throughout the movie, Ian voices how "awesome" Anthony's embarrassing video is, and Anthony learns that Ian records him in his private moments ForTheLulz. [[spoiler:So it should come as no surprise when it's revealed that he was the one that uploaded the embarrassing video Anthony was trying to get rid of this whole time.]]
* InstantHumiliationJustAddYouTube: The crux of the movie is that Ian and Anthony find a recording of Anthony singing the ''Magic Pocket Slave Monster'' theme and hurting himself trying to backflip, so they go to You Tube headquarters to try and have it deleted. Since the video has only 301 views, it's clear Anthony is overreacting.
* KickTheDog: The reason why the mailman has such a chip on his shoulder towards Ian is because he threw milk-filled water-balloons at him for his [=YouTube=] Channel.
* KidsAreCruel: The gang of kids at the Game Bang antagonize Ian and Anthony for no reason, their leader taking a dump on Anthony's company car for no reason.
* LoserProtagonist: Anthony starts out as a minimum wage pizza-delivery boy while Ian is unemployed, both living with Ian's parents.
* MythologyGag:
** The film's opening is animated in the same style as ''Shut Up! Cartoons''.
** Ian and Anthony's nostalgia for the ''Magic Pocket Slave Monster'' theme song is reference to [=SMOSH'S=] first video "Smosh Pokemon Theme Song Original 2005".
** Diri developing an inappropriate crush on Anthony can be a reference to "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYG6QA9gF0o SIRI TRIED TO KILL ME!]]", where Siri on Anthony's [=iPhone=] [[AIIsACrapshoot becomes self-aware and becomes clingy with him]].
* {{Phonymon}}: ''Magic Pocket Slave Monster'' is a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' {{Expy}} that exists in the world of the movie.
* ScrewballSquirrel: Ian is portrayed as an unemployed {{Manchild}} that's a burden to Anthony, records him without his knowledge to create [=YouTube=] videos out of it, and pulls pranks on the mailman so awful that he refuses to give them their mail. Even when he accidentally hurts someone, he reacts more with how funny it was instead of apologizing.
* StalkingIsLove: Ian seems to think that he's "seeing" Butt-Massage Girl because he leaves creepy comments on her videos, seeing him flagging all of his comments as "playing hard to get." Subverted when it's revealed that Ian was correct and she actually does like him.
* ThisIsReality: Practically said word for word by Anthony when Ian suggest they split up like in the movies.
* TrappedInTVLand: Ian and Anthony are able to directly interact with the contents of video and video ads while inside [=YouTube=]. [[spoiler:It's revealed that the cell-phones Steve [=YouTube=] gave them are the only way out, and when the battery dies, so do their chances of escaping to the real world, as was the case with WebVideo/JennaMarbles.]]
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Sharon Hecox, who is normally played by herself in ''WebVideo/{{Smosh}}'', is played by Kristen O'Mear here. To say that they look nothing alike is putting it mildly.
