** All are aware of [[https://www.youtube.com/@noiselund Noiselund]]'s remixes of audio from their videos, and shouted him out in ''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst''. The official RLM Twitter follows Noiselund, and Mike has even engaged with him on there.

* ApprovalOfGod: Towards the fanmade ''Super VHS: The RLM Game''. Not only did Mike retweet a link to it, but he also got Rich to sit down and play with him. As the entire [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12R2V3kkhFA playthrough]] shows, both are highly flattered, amused, and impressed by the level of detail and love put into the game.

* DenialOfDigitalDistribution: In 2022, Mike and Rich found four more old photos of young Rich in his infamous "Dick the Birthday Boy" t-shirt. They have decided to take great steps in never letting them be see to the Internet, having even gone as far to destroy the raw video recordings of the pictures they censored over. The photos now sit framed in their studio wall, and said they will only show them to ''very'' special guests under heavy supervision.

* OldShame: They discourage people from seeing their thriller film ''The Recovered''.

* DenialOfDigitalDistribution: In 2022, Mike and Rich found four more old photos of young Rich in his infamous "Dick the Birthday Boy" t-shirt. They decided to never allow them to be distributed digitally, having even destroyed the raw video recordings of the pictures they censored over. The photos now sit framed in their office walls, and said they will only show them to ''very'' special guests under heavy supervision.

* DevelopmentGag: Mister Plinkett refers to the Nemoidians as "the Shatnerians" in his Star Wars the Phantom Menace review, which was the name for them in early drafts of the script.

* {{Corpsing}}: Jay finally gets Mike to really laugh (after 45 episodes) during the ''Film/HauntedHouse'' discussion, which segues into a riff on the Seltzer and Friedberg films (ironically, it's about how unfunny their jokes are). Jay is clearly taken aback by how hard Mike is laughing, even starting to ask him "Did your brain...", before being overcome with laughter himself.

** The teaser trailer for the ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' review seems to establish the two Plinketts as two different people who just happen to be very similar to one another, [[NegativeContinuity even though this blatantly contradicts "The Revenge Of Nadine"]]. This may be because of VillainDecay on the part of Evans!Plinkett, given his portrayal in ''Half in the Bag'' as docile and incredibly senile. The [[BackFromTheDead mysteriously revived Palpatine]], an established StrawFan, naturally refers to Evans!Plinkett as "Fake Plinkett" and Stoklasa!Plinkett as "the ''real'' Lord Plinkett", and at the end of the teaser, [[spoiler: attacks "Fake Plinkett" with Force lightning in an attempt to kill him]].

** The difference between Stoklasa!Plinkett and Evans!Plinkett was finally "canonized" on "Wheel of the Worst #23": Stoklasa!Plinkett is Harry '''''S.''''' Plinkett, while Evans!Plinkett is Harry '''''G.''''' Plinkett.
* ProductionPosse: Mike, Jay, Jack, Josh and Rich Evans form the "core" of the posse. Jessi was a regular in the early ''Best of the Worst'' videos before [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome disappearing abruptly]]. Jocelyn Ridgely and several more of the gang's friends will occasionally appear in small roles.

* FanNickname:
** The entire crew (mainly Mike, Jay, and [[ButtMonkey Rich Evans]]) are affectionately referred to as "hack frauds", which stems from one of the {{Couch Gag}}s of the show.
--->'''Plinkett''': Mike and Jay are frauds!
** Jay got called Susan in a promo, and the fandom seems to have grown attached to calling him that.
** Ever since [[Creator/EllenDeGeneres The Ellen DeGeneres Show]] used his infamous [[ItMakesSenseInContext Dick the Birthday Boy childhood photo]] to tease Creator/JuliaRoberts, Rich Evans is now referred to as "Hollywood Superstar Rich Evans".
* {{Fanon}}: Since the "Plinkett reviews" Harry Plinkett is from a different continuity than Plinkett in ''WebVideo/HalfInTheBag'', fans have assumed one version is the manga, while the other is the anime adaptation of the manga story, and the stories may eventually "[[OvertookTheManga catch up]]" to each other.

** In the ''Half in the Bag'' review of ''Film/{{Solo}}'', Mike conjectures that when George Lucas was writing the script to ''A New Hope'', he didn't know what a parsec was. The review cuts to Obi-Wan giving Han an incredulous stare, implying Obi-Wan finds the claim as ridiculous as Mike does. However, what Lucas actually wrote in the script for Obi-Wan's reaction shot to "twelve parsecs" was "Ben reacts to Solo's stupid attempt to impress them with obvious misinformation." Meaning that Mike accidentally got Lucas's correct intention across without realizing it.
** In the ''Revenge of the Sith'' review, Plinkett mocks the evolution of Force lightning from being something Palpatine pulled out to torture Luke to being his and every other moderately powerful Sith Lord's primary battle tactic, and concludes that he was surprised Yoda didn't start shooting [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience green lightning]]. Plinkett would likely be enthused by the fact that Legends continuity featured a [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_lightning/Legends#Use_by_Jedi depressing number of instances]] of Jedi using Force lightning, which is often green.

** Creator/RogerEbert, who gave both ''The Phantom Menace'' and ''Revenge of the Sith'' three and a half stars (out of four) and couldn't have missed Plinkett's jab at his credibility, posted a link to the ''Revenge of the Sith'' review.
** Creator/SimonPegg and Damon Lindelof also tweeted their approval of the reviews.

** George Lucas' and Disney's theme song appears to be "We're in the Money."

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** According to "How Not to Make a Movie", shortly after "The Phantom Menace" review went viral, Mike received an offer from Paramount Pictures to be part of an initiative to make a micro-budgeted movie in the hope to recapture the success of ''Film/{{Paranormal Activity}}''. Mike submitted a script to a remake of his old film "Gorilla Interrupted" only for the studio to reject the project.

** Ever since [[Creator/EllenDeGeneres The Ellen DeGeneres Show]] used his infamous [[ItMakesSenseInContext Dick the Birthday Boy childhood photo]] to tease Creator/JuliaRoberts, many mentions of Rich Evans' name now come with the prefix "Hollywood Superstar".

** In the comments for ''Half in the Bag'', Mike and Jay are often (affectionately) referred to as "hack frauds", which stems from one of the {{Couch Gag}}s of the show.

** On [[Website/FourChan /tv/]], Josh "The Wizard" and Jack are referred to respectively as Beardfat and AIDS Music/{{Moby}}. Mike is also referred to with a huge list of racism-based nicknames, due to a rumor that became an exaggerated joke.

** WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} gifted about 35,000 subscribers to the crew when he made a video describing them as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-ReWBV0JUc The Best Channel on YouTube]].

* DeletedScene: RLM filmed somewhere between 25-35 minutes of footage for ''Doc of the Dead'', but only about 2 minutes ended up in the final film. Because the documentary owns the rest of the footage, it's up to their producers whether it will ever get released.

* CowboyBeBopAtHisComputer: In ''Film/TheLastJedi'' review, Plinkett said that it didn't matter how the First Order found the resistance base, as if they didn't already know where the base was, but in ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', Hux says that they tracked down the location of the Resistance base, meaning that the villains ''did'' know the location of the base. In fact, the reason why the Resistance was trying to destroy Starkiller base so quickly in ''VII'' was to stop its laser from firing on the Resistance base, and the reason the Resistance was evacuating at the beginning of ''VIII'' was because they knew that the First Order knew the location of their base.

** In the comments for ''Half in the Bag'', Mike and Jay are often (affectionally) referred to as "hack frauds", which stems from one of the {{Couch Gag}}s of the show.

** The WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst episode and special interview with Creator/MaxLandis were de-listed after his numerous sexual harassment allegations. The videos do not show up in searches, but can still be found by sifting through their archives or through direct link.
