* [[PunBasedTitle Mixed Nuts Sampler]] -- A plethora of GroinAttack videos...[[WhatAnIdiot usually self inflicted blows]], at that. To drive the metaphor home, the title card is a parody of a Whitman's Sampler box with two walnuts, in which one of them splits apart.

Unless I've missed something, people are rarely trolling. I think the vast majority of them are just excited to be first.


* "FIRSTIES!" -- The first clip or two doesn't have a theme per se; it's just a [[PerfectlyCromulentWord term borrowed from the troll practice of racing to be the first to respond to a post on a message board]], Website/YouTube, etc.

* Please, Please, Please, For the Love of God, [[Main/DoNotTryThisAtHome Don't Try This at Home]] -- Someone does something really dangerous and/or stupid to themselves. Predictable consequences ensue.
* This Week in [[EpicFail Fail]] -- Someone tries to look cool on camera, and fails. Predictably and spectacularly.

* AudienceParticipation -- {{Twitter}}shots, in which a clip is posted online for viewers to snark upon via Twitter; the best three make it to the show.

* Is That Really A Thing? -- Rule 36 in video form.

Tropes used:
* {{Adorkable}}: Chris has his moments.
* BlahBlahBlah: A girl gets hit in the face with a soccer ball. Chris' response is, "BlahBlahBlah, balls-to-the-face joke."
* BitingTheHandHumor: Oh so much.
* CollectiveGroan: All over the place!
* CouchGag: The operator in OperatorsAreStandingBy and the hillbilly in Webcam Junction. In Season 3, the opening sequence has Chris doing something strange on his way to the stage -- delivering a baby, making a sandwich for a bystander, etc. -- and the "FIRSTIES!" intro has the announcer in different situations as well (such as a BondGunBarrel).
* DuelingShows: With ''Series/{{Tosh0}}'' on Comedy Central.
* GroinAttack: So many have appeared that in one episode, he consulted a special thesaurus to find fresh slang terms for the affected parts (he chose "Fraggle Rocks" and "Harry and the Hendersons").
* IncrediblyLamePun: And you know Chris made one when he'll ask for a high-five, going, "Up top!"
* KitschyLocalCommercial: Mocked in Operators Are Standing By.
* MonsterClown: "So, last night I had this horrible, horrible nightmare--an army of evil clowns were dancing and singing, and they were slowly coming towards me; [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAo6EwsZ_wc here, I TiVo'd it for you!"]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome: PlayedForLaughs with THE GREATEST WEB VIDEO EVER! [[note]]this week[[/note]]
** Which included a fake viral video made by LoadingReadyRun one week, a great extra laugh for their fans.
* OneOfUs: Chris Hardwick.
* PercussiveTherapy: "''No'', Joel [=McHale=]! ''You're'' hosting a spin-off of ''my'' show!"
* PreciousPuppies: Frequent subjects of the "Palate Cleanser" segment.
* ProductPlacement: At the end Hardwick reminds viewers to check out his budding Nerdist mini-empire of podcasts and blogs, and about future standup appearances.
* RecycledSet: The show began to use the E! News set in the third season, the first time a ''Soup'' series wasn't shot in front of a [[NoBudget green screen in a broom closet]].
* RunningGag: Many.
** Several of Alison Brie's appearances have ended with her being offended by Chris' behavior and running off to tell [[TheSoup Joel McHale]], her ''Series/{{Community}}'' co-star.
* SelfDeprecation: Hardwick is pretty much stuck on knowing most people still remember him only as the host of ''Series/SingledOut'' and ''Shipmates'' eons ago and plays it for laughs.
* ShareTheMalePain
* ShoutOut: Among others, the "WTF?" intro sequence is a reference to the men in the nice suit and the dog costume from ''TheShining''.
* StudioAudience
* TooDumbToLive
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: "Hold on, [[Creator/StanLee true believers]], because things are about to get weird..."
