History RunningGag / VinesauceTomodachiLife

** Karl has been fed [[DoesNotLikeSpam spaghetti]] three times. Notable in that the second and third times where caused when Vinny FailedASpotCheck by confusing favorite and least favorite foods; the third time had Vinny realize his screwup, only to [[CruelPlayerCharacterGod feed it him to him anyway]]. [[spoiler:He almost does it a fourth time, but he defies it by feeding Karl his favorite food instead.]]

* [[invoked]] Witch being {{Gonk}} gets brought up a lot by Vinny, mostly because, unlike most similar islanders, the game considers her a very attractive islander according to the Girl Charm rankings. In later episodes, Vinny also comments a few times on how Witch is almost always drawn ugly by fan artists, in contrast with [[SelfFanservice Two Faced and Cling On]].

** [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Karl's hopeless love life]]. In contrast with Vinesauce and other islanders who constantly fail to get in relationships, his failures at getting girls have happened so often that it's treated as less sad and more hilarious.

* Toad's continual neglect by Vinny. He is given no extra clothes or apartments, and is always fed the cheapest food. Keeping him at the bottom of the "money spent on" rankings seems to be a personal goal of Vinny's.
* [[invoked]] Seabiscuit's voice and [[HellIsThatNoise how terrible it is]]. Vinny suffers from it nearly every time she opens her mouth.

* Vinny likes to yell [[Music/TalkingHeads "LOOOOVE HAS COME TO TOWN!"]] when he notices an islander in love. This eventually permutates into "LOVE HAS COME TO [[{{Pun}} CLOWN]]!", and even later into "LOVE HAS COME TO [character name]!"

** Vinny frequently tries to invoke "self-aware" responses from islanders that are present. More often than not, this backfires humorously when a different islander responds, such as a time when Vinny asked "Who often gets mistaken for a pirate" while [[DressedToPlunder David Bowie]] was present, only for Vinesauce (possibly a [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil different kind of pirate]]) to raise his hand while Bowie remained silent.

* "Self-awareness" is invoked whenever a character does something that resonates with his or her typical characterization (e.g. the islanders gossiping about [[Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse Pee-wee]], which Vinny interprets as referencing Paul Reubens' porno theater incident). Isaac is usually the one who does this, but episode 52 in particular is filled with it.

!Episode-Specific
* Vineschnoz's [[WorstNewsJudgmentEver increasingly]] [[TheCorruption bizarre]] news reports in the ''Collection'' corruptions episode. Corruption was accidentally turned off at one point, which led to the final one looping around to being [[MoodWhiplash completely normal]] by the game's standards ("by the game's standards" meaning that a news report about Jesus losing some blue cheese isn't that odd when you consider what goes on in the game's sequel). [[spoiler:Doesn't carry over to Vineland when Vineschnoz arrives there, though he did end up appearing in Episode 55's report as a victim of a sheep herd.]]

-->'''Vinny:''' (Laughs) "Why did I ever leave [Big Face's catchphrase] at 'Big bpoty.'?"

* Some catchphrases lead to over-the-top reactions from Vinny. In addition to Tucker claiming he said to do something, he often finds it funny if an islander uses one that contains a typo Vinny made but never corrected.

* Vinny vowing to get rid of the meme-based characters (mainly Dolan), and how [[StatusQuoIsGod he never does]]. [[spoiler:At least until he actually does so in Episode 38. However, he keeps [[WebVideo/BenDrowned Ben]], the [[GrandfatherClause first of them to move in]], throughout the series, neither considering evicting him nor urging viewers to vote for that to happen in the Survivor Edition.]]

* Kenny's "Duck, I miss you" catchphrase appearing at [[MoodWhiplash the worst times]], almost always catching Vinny off guard.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loco_moco Loco moco]] somehow becomes a running gag in the David Bowie special, where the chat begs Vinny to feed Bowie some. [[spoiler:It eventually manages to ruin Vinesauce's marriage proposal. And Bowie does even like it.]]

** Many sessions includes mentions of a "[=[noun]job=]" (e.g. the aforementioned "clown jobs", "footjobs", and "[[spoiler:jahnjobs]]"). However, one of Vinny's many typos showed up during one round, which resulted in Vinny asking the islanders about "froot jons".

[[spoiler:Doesn't carry over to Vineland when Vineschnoz arrives there, though he did end up appearing in Episode 55's report as a victim of a sheep herd.]]
* Episode 53 has Vinny use an voice distorter to make an echo effect for certain moments several times.

** Many sessions includes mentions of a "[=[noun]job=]" (e.g. the aforementioned "clown jobs", "footjobs", and "[[spoiler:jahnjobs]]").

* Whenever a news report happens, Vinny will most likely spend its duration complaining about the reporter islander's voice, even if he's never been annoyed by it before (suchg as with Satan in Episode 51).

* Song-wise, "Cream(s)", "Fist", and "Fop" have a habit to be inserted into any place they fit, usually for [[VulgarHumor dirty connotations]].
* Many a Quirky Questions session includes a mention of a "[=[noun]job=]" (e.g. the aforementioned "clown jobs", "footjobs", and "[[spoiler:jahnjobs]]").
* At least three times, a round of Quirky Questions asks "Who often gets mistaken for [a male celebrity]?",[[labelnote:*]]for example, "Creator/BradPitt"[[/labelnote]] and Walrus (who [[{{Gonk}} looks nothing like any human at all]]) raises his hand.

* Episode 53 has Vinny use an voice distorter to make an echo effect for certain moments several times.
* In Quirky Questions, "Whose mother resembles a foot?", which seems to get angrier with every iteration.

* Broccoli and his "[[VeryPunchableMan incredibly punchable face]]". Vinny brings it up almost every time he appears.

* [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption Karl's hopeless love life]]. In contrast with Vinesauce and other islanders who constantly fail to get in relationships, his failures at getting girls have happened so often that it's treated as less sad and more hilarious.
* "Clown jobs" are mentioned often, particularly when Clown or Clown Lady is around.
* A completely unintentional one: several birthday announcements end with Wario remarking "I'm glad everyone remembered." [[spoiler:It eventually turns plot-significant -- after being assimilated in the previous episode, Wario [[WhamShot returns]] to say the line in episode 50.]]
* For the brief time Jaxon is present, ''every'' mention of his name is made distorted by the SB Edits. Even during the art showcases.

** Similarly, "jabroni" is used when Vinesauce is involved in something, especially if said thing is incredibly silly/stupid. The word "jabroni" came up when Vinny skimmed the many bizarre tweets by Wrestling/TheIronSheik, who uses it often. While the tweet-skimming didn't happen during a ''Tomodachi Life'' stream, it's mentioned here because it (coincidentally) happened while Vinny was checking out [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3Mix Southbird's pre-Vinesauce work]].

* Vinny likes to yell [[Music/TalkingHeads "LOOOOVE HAS COME TO TOWN!"]] when he notices an islander in love. This eventually permutates into "LOVE HAS COME TO [[{{Pun}} CLOWN]]!", and even later into "LOVE HAS COME TO [character name]!"
* Giving white bread to islanders as their first food was an early one, but it faded out quickly, but not before being compared to a [[GloriousMotherRussia Soviet]] diet. Though there are still gags with feeding certain islanders only one type of food.
** Red chili peppers are another running gag food. The gag is that ''nobody'' seems to like them, unless it's someone that Vinny doesn't want to make happy (like Walrus). And then it gets weird when the islanders worship a red chili pepper in a dream in Episode 52.

* The game randomly has islanders saying they've been working on their funny faces. When Vinny sees it, it's often from islanders that already look weird (including Witch and Two Faced in the very first episode), after which Vinny comments that they don't even need to try. On one occasion, Vineschnoz (who already has a GagNose) showed off a "funny face" that ended up looking horrifying, particularly because of his eyes.

* Giving white bread to islanders as their first food was an early one, but it faded out quickly. Though there are still gags with feeding certain islanders only one type of food.

** In turn, Southbird's condensed versions made a gag out of zooming in on the eyes and adding special filters whenever Vinny visited her house (which triggered the emote). This eventually extended to Lamb Chop (who has a similar issue), and even later zooming in on random bits of furniture.

* Whenever Gaben is goofing off, Vinny remarks something to the extent of "this is what he's doing instead of developing ''Half-Life 3''".
