Added DiffLines:
*ScaryMinoritySuspect: Discussed. The Gang are unable to recognise the ObviouslyEvil Colonel Washington as the Bad Guy because he's white and american. They get into a long discussion on what ethnicity he ''should'' be to properly get across that he's evil, much to the Moderator's horror.
Added DiffLines:
* SoftReboot: The new Thunder Gun movie is this, killing the old character and replacing him with his son. The Gang are not happy about the changes, and leak the movie to ruin the reboot (once the moderator explains that's what's happening).

The Gang finds themselves in the middle of a focus group after a screening of ''Thunder Gun 4: Maximum Cool''. They are determined to restore glory and traditional American values back into the franchise, even if it involves sabotage.

* {{Hypocrite}}: The Gang goes on a tirade about how "liberal Hollywood" are now censoring everything and are taking away everything good about movies when the Moderator tells them that they are making the movie PG-13 instead of R, the Moderator points out the reason why the movie is PG-13 is because streaming and piracy are making R-rated movies less profitable than they used to. Then it is revealed that they all ended up seeing the previous ''Thunder Gun'' movie on various pirating websites and contributing to the problem. In typical Gang-fashion, they learn nothing from this, ruin ''Thundergun 4'' by leaking it online and then watch the next installment on their phones.
