* FatalFlaw: For many of the internet personalities discussed on the show, it's Greed. Most of the issues in the drama community covered in ''Baited'' can be boiled down to petty squabbles of content creators backstabbing each other with slander, misleading viewers with fake news or generally [[AttentionWhore attention-whoring]] with manufactured controversy in vain efforts to retain their "relevancy". For episodes with guests, the animated cover art by Ultra Joe will usually depict said guests being [[TitleDrop baited]] with a dollar on a fishing line.

* BefriendingTheEnemy: Colossal, who was once one of Keemstar's most vicious detractors on Twitter (having proudly invented the "Keemstar the Rat" meme), slowly and begrudgingly came round to liking Keem over the course of the show and later admitted that his [[HiddenDepths few positive qualities]] usually outshine his more prominent negative traits. Colossal still rightfully regards Keemstar as an unrepentant scumbag, albeit one he doesn't mind associating with.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Keemstar genuinely believes that he's a good person and a well-respected father figure in the Drama community. Colossal and the other hosts are often baffled by the depths of Keemstar's deluded self-image.



* HiddenDepths: Keemstar's reputation among the [=YouTube=] Drama community is... ''contentious'' for a litany of reasons, but ''Baited'' occasionally reveals a more rational, intelligent side to him that softened the voices of some of his critics ([[BefriendingTheEnemy including Colossal's, who was once one of Keemstar's most vicious detractors]]).

* HiddenDepths: Keemstar's reputation among the [=YouTube=] Drama community is... ''contentious'' Ironic for a litany show all about discussing other people's reputations, Keemstar has one of reasons, ''the'' worst reputations in the entire Website/YouTube content creator community. Many creators refuse to associate with him, while his own co-hosts regularly berate him for his obnoxious, narcissistic, greedy and dishonest behaviour... but ''Baited'' occasionally reveals a surprisingly often, he makes reasonable points that the others can agree on. Seeing this more rational, intelligent side to him that Keemstar softened the voices of some of his critics ([[BefriendingTheEnemy including Colossal's, who was once one of Keemstar's most vicious detractors]]).



* InsistentTerminology: Clown usually goes out of his way to dramatically refer to Keem as "DJ Killer Keemstar" in the introductions, harkening back to Keem's early [=YouTube=] days as a ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' troll. Keem always elucidates that he's not a DJ.

* VitriolicBestBuds: "Best buds" is stretching it but this lot can ''definitely'' be vitriolic. It says a lot that Colossal left the show on bad terms with Keemstar after constant clashes both on and off air, only to come back a year later.

* LargeHam: All of the hosts qualify, but Keem arguably most of all. He is usually the loudest voice and most prone to talking over the others.

''Baited'' is a discussion podcast originally created and hosted by popular [[Website/YouTube [=YouTubers=]]] [=ColossalIsCrazy=] ([[IHaveManyNames a.k.a. Clown, a.k.a. Oliver Colton]]), Keemstar ([[IHaveManyNames a.k.a. [=DramaAlert=], a.k.a. Daniel Keem]]) and Tommy C (a.k.a. Tommy Callanan). The show primarily focuses on commentary, news and debate surrounding the 'drama-sphere' subculture of [=YouTube=] personalities. However, the vast majority of the podcast's entertainment value comes from the eclectic trio of hosts' [[VitriolicBestBuds vicious banter and disagreements amongst themselves]] which inevitably lead to the intended topics getting derailed completely. Beginning in July 2016, the show had a changeover of hosts later that year as Colossal and Tommy C left the podcast, both being replaced by [=Anything4Views=] and [[Series/TheAndyMilonakisShow Andy Milonakis]] while Keemstar remained as the ringleader. Numerous guests have appeared on the show, including Ethan Klein of WebVideo/h3h3Productions, WebVideo/iDubbbztv and [=LeafyIsHere=].

Colossal eventually returned to ''Baited'' in 2017, initially as a one-off guest appearance before re-joining as a regular, though the show officially ended in 2019.

!!This show provides examples of:
* BrilliantButLazy: Keemstar harshly criticises Colossal's perceived poor work ethic when it comes to maintaining a regular output of video content. Colossal's main channel only has ten videos and he notoriously takes years between uploads, but this is more a case of BritishBrevity as they all have a consistently high quality, and also the fact that Colossal does not view [=YouTube=] as his primary career compared to his real life job as a toy manufacturer.
* HiddenDepths: Keemstar's reputation among the [=YouTube=] Drama community is... ''contentious'' for a litany of reasons, but ''Baited'' occasionally reveals a more rational, intelligent side to him that softened the voices of some of his critics ([[BefriendingTheEnemy including Colossal's, who was once one of Keemstar's most vicious detractors]]).
* HotBlooded: Rarely does an episode go by without Keemstar getting heated or throwing a tantrum over something.
* InsistentTerminology: Clown usually goes out of his way to dramatically refer to Keem as "DJ Killer Keemstar" in the introductions, harkening back to Keem's early [=YouTube=] days as a ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'' troll. Keem usually elucidates that he's not a DJ.
* JerkAss: Both Keemstar and Colossal qualify, though Keemstar is by far the more belligerent of the two.
* LaughingMad: It's something of a meme that Tommy C's only contribution to the show is to laugh at Clown and Keemstar's constant cockfighting.
* LargeHam: All of the hosts qualify, but Keem arguably most of all. He is usually the loudest voice and most prone to talking over the others.
* TheMeanBrit: Colossal's online persona is a snooty, opinionated boarding school toff with a bizarre grudge against fat people, though it is, by all accounts, close to his real life personality.
* PowerTrio: The show's format always has three main hosts and the occasional guest. The recurring theme is that none of them can ever agree on anything.
