* SidetrackedByTheAnalogy: Episode 31 has Stephen complaining about the size of the Fanta mini-cans that he's drinking relative to the size of his hands. He makes an analogy to steak for reference by claiming that if someone were to make him hold steaks in his hands at a barbeque, he would be able to hold 8 steaks at once (4 in each hand). This immediately derails the entire topic as the rest of the cast is utterly befuddled by the idea of someone holding raw meat with their bare hands and inquiring about the assumed size of the steaks (which Stephen claims are "[[FantasticMeasurementUnit 1 Standard Steak Unit]]" each), which eventually turns into a bit about Jon and Tom claiming that Stephen is holding the raw meat as part of the marination process and that he either secretes marinade or dry rub from his skin.

This later turns into him admitting that "it's not that bad" as he continues drinking the Fanta over the course of the episode, causing the rest of the group to claim that he's developing Stockholm Syndrome for Fanta.

Jon, who is completely disinterested in the idea of getting a smartwatch, stays out of the discussions but wound up getting a ''{{Franchise/Digimon}}'' Digivice instead.

* ForgetfulJones: Stephen's notorious memory problems are discussed in episode 15, where he notes that it makes it almost impossible for him to be spoiled on the plot of a game such as ''Kingdom Hearts'' because he won't remember it by the time he comes to play it. It also factored into a gag where a title was inspired by something he said, they forgot to mention it, and Stephen has long forgotten what the joke even was.

** Stephen later explains that he got the college nickname "Grandpa" (incidentally unrelated to how he got the same nickname in the present day) because he would tell stories to his roommates only to be told that he has explained the exact same stories multiple times and being absolutely befuddled that he doesn't remember telling them.

The person in the dream would suddenly be transformed into [[MsFanservice one of the girls from the game]] then attempt to leave the (now pitch dark) swimming pool building, but could only go out through the girl's locker room and any attempt to actually leave resulted in [[GagBoobs the girl's breasts inflating in size each time.]] Jon presumes that this dream explains the concept behind [=RosaJon=].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In regular Disc Only episodes, Jon is the one in control and takes any excuse to replay the intro, which annoys Stephen. In the Colosseum 2023 live version, Stephen takes over and allows donors to replay the intro for just $100, meaning it replays almost constantly, annoying Jon.
