* AManIsNotAVirgin: A volcano demands a Virgin Sacrifice. You have the option to toss a DumbBlonde or a cow in. [[spoiler:The solution to that particular puzzle is for [=McPixel=] to throw himself into the volcano.]]

** One of the taglines is "[[BatmanTheMovie Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.]]"
** The [[Videogame/{{Portal2}} Space Core]] is visible in most outer space stages.

* UrineTrouble: [=McPixel=] apparently have a thing for urinating on certain objects and people for whatever reason. Is almost certain to happen if he [[CantHoldHisLiquor drinks alcohol of any sort]].

* XMeetsY: As noted above: ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' meets ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry.''
** Or early 20th century SlapstickComedy meets late 20th century BlackComedy.

* InsaneTrollLogic: The only kind of logic that can beat 99% of the puzzles.

* TitleScream: '''MCPIXEL!!''' greets you each time you fire the game up.

* CheekCopy: A possible answer to Chapter 2, Round 2, Level 4. It still expplodes the building.

What would you do if you had 20 seconds left?

* AManIsNotAVirgin: A volcano demands a Virgin Sacrifice. You have the option to toss a DumbBlonde or a cow in. [[spoiler: Ultimately averted. The solution to that particular puzzle is for [=McPixel=] to throw himself into the volcano.]]

** LetsPlay/PewDiePie, the Bro, Stephano and a Barrel appear in the same DLC set.

** LetsPlay/PewDiePie's [[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC9578E9DD2663C66 gotten in on the act]], too.

** To put things in perspective, the first rule of playing this game is this: If the solution you have in mind makes sense, there's a 75% chance it's wrong. The remaining 25%? It works, but not in the way you were expecting it to. Although after a couple levels it's almost second nature.
* JumpingOnAGrenade: And sometimes, ''eating'' the grenade. 50% of the time, it works.

* MindScrew / AcidTripDimension: The Bonus Stages.

** The first Bonus stage features: ''Film/{{Titanic}}'', ''Franchise/StarWars'' (specifically, ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''), ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' (the third film, it seems), ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead'', ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', and ''Franchise/HarryPotter''.

* {{Retraux}}

* TimeBomb: On pretty much every level.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The solution to the Mario skit is... weird, to say the least. Giving the 1up to Mario turns causes him to shrink... then turn into some abstract painting, whereupon his neck stretches out, and turns a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle into... something else. MushroomSamba, taken a bit too literally.
** There's one Bonus Round that deliberately mimics the effects of a glitch.

* CheekCopy: A possible answer to Chapter 2, Round 2, Level 4

* JumpingOnAGrenade: And sometimes, ''eating'' the grenade.

* ShoutOut: The Bonus Stages are specifically geared around a theme of {{Film}}, VideoGames, and [[WesternAnimation Cartoons]]. For example, the first Bonus stage features: {{Titanic}}, StarWars (specifically, ReturnOfTheJedi), {{Alien}} (the third film, it seems), TheQuickAndTheDead, {{Terminator}} 1 and 2, and HarryPotter.

** The second bonus stage has SpaceInvaders, {{Mario}} (and the TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles, for some reason), FinalFantasySeven, {{Portal}}, {{Pokemon}}, and MortalKombat.
** One Bonus Round is NyanCat.
