Ditto [[Webvideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] to ''Film/PowerRangers'' (though Brad also took him to ''Film/ChiPs'', if only to troll fans with a picture of Lewis holding the ticket to that).

* NamesTheSame: Since there were two Brians (Brian Lewis and Brian Irving), the latter was referred to by his last name (although early episodes called him "Virtual Boyd"). Also, the ''Vaxxed'' review features a one-time guest named Sara (no H), who is a different person than usual reviewer Sarah Gobble.

* FandomNod: Being an improvised show usually shot the night before being posted on the site, they can make several references InUniverse to their fans, most notably that the comments are going to correct any error they make.
** After a particularly hellish week of real life, at the end of ''Turbo'' Jake took a moment to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness sincerely and whole heartedly thank the fans]] of the site who, in either token or words, had helped him get through a very rough few days.
** Brad immediately made fun of him for it (as Jake has several times told the entirety of the site to "go fuck itself").
---> '''Brad''': *trying to hold back laughter* Who'd've thought you'd be ''thanking'' the website... and the people who bother you every week asking...?
---> '''Jake''': Listen here motherfucker, *points at camera* I'm ''trying'' to have a goddamn moment with my fanbase. I could see the look you were giving me out of the corner of the camera screen, and I knew you were just waiting to say something, so I'm gonna need you to shut your goddamn mouth while I finish talking to my ''boys''!... and my girls, ''all of 'em''!
** After uploading ''WebVideo/BradJonesDemoReel'', their parody of ''WebVideo/DemoReel'', the next screenings review noted that Brian got the [[invoked]]FanNickname "Slaver Crackers" after both the "Slaver Brian" name and "Admiral Crackers".

** Brian and Allison have both left the show, partially as a result of the [=#ChangeTheChannel=] movement and have publicly expressed feelings of disillusionment towards Brad in general. Both actively turned against Brad and Laura after the ''Film/{{Yesterday|2019}}'' review, when Laura claimed that after her father's suicide, someone had sent officers to his funeral under the pretense that Brad had committed suicide and the two implied that this situation was somehow Allison's fault. Allison then revealed that she'd kept this alleged incident secret, while revealing texts from the day, when Laura claimed it was a Swatting.[[note]]SWAT teams aren't sent to these situations, as that would be the exact opposite of the goal to de-escalate a stressful and potentially deadly situation.
