* TakeThat: Multiple jabs at [[LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate DarkSydePhil]] in Cry's first appearance on the Podcast, and TB makes a jab at the Underbelly show at the end of Unit Lost's first show. Recently the website Polygon has been the entire group's chew toy due to the quality of their recent "gaming" articles.

Corpsing is now trivia, moving to that tab.


* {{Corpsing}}:
** A frequent occurrence in the podcast, particularly when Jesse would make an effort to make TB do so.
** TGS Podcast #10 provides a stupendous example of it. [[spoiler:In the middle of discussion a woman enters Jesse's room and starts cleaning the shelf behind him. Jesse promptly loses it (albeit silently) and points her out causing TB and Dodger to start dying with the latter leaning out of frame to compose herself while WebVideo/JonTron sits there oblivious to it for a good fifteen seconds. He finally notices and starts laughing just after Dodger gets a hold of herself and leans back into frame causing her to start again. Finally after the woman leaves only to come back moments later causing Jesse to turn his webcam off and the others start laughing all over again.]] It's a full minute and a half of continued laughter from all four of them and a shining example of how contagious TB, Jesse, and Dodger's laughter can be.
--> '''[=JonTron=]:''' [[http://youtu.be/pvZWyDnvtaY?t=29m33s I think this is the best moment of my life!]]

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: A male version in the sixth podcast, which has Jesse, TB, and Simon respectively, [[BadassBeard Badass Beards]] and all.
