In late 2017, Cracked [[https://splinternews.com/cracked-lays-off-25-as-the-great-digital-media-purge-co-1821055164 laid off 25 writers, including the majority of on-screen personalities in the segments]], killing the series along with every other video series they hosted. A finale was filmed, but never unaired -- though in 2020 the cast did a live reading of the finale for Youtube, which can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOeFsqHrf44 here.]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: Dan vaguely concerning his lack of social skills throughout the series and Michael more specifically when his taking Ritalin is mentioned. Katie also has a special song meant to calm him down.
-->'''Michael''': They named the handicapped kid after his handicap?
-->'''Dan (mocking)''': Oh, is that funny, little Ritalin-o? Take your pill. '''(serious)''' Oh, take your pill.

** Dan finding some way to include Franchise/SpiderMan into ''any'' conversation.

--> '''Katie''': Wait, wasn't that what ''Film/ThePatriot'' was about?

** The gang describing their various pop culture sexual fantasies at the beginning of the Indiana Jones episode. Especially Katie's. It's ''awful'' - particularly her description of how Indy [[WhipItGood would use his whip]].

* DracoInLeatherPants: Often invoked, since their frequent use of AlternateCharacterInterpretation frequently involves viewing a character considered by the narrative to be a villain in as heroic and forgiving a light as possible. Subverted in one episode, however, when Katie's efforts to redefine Ursula as the real hero of ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid'' because (in Katie's eyes) she was trying to teach Ariel the value of self-reliance and hard work are undermined when Soren points out that Ursula's own actions would have knowingly sabotaged Ariel's efforts, meaning she was still a villain.

** She has a long series of much less subtle ones about having sex with Indiana Jones, becoming an UnEntendre by the last one.

* OddFriendship: [[LovableJock Jockish]], [[MrFanservice handsome]], sometimes dim Soren and [[{{Nerd}} nerdy]], [[ButtMonkey unlucky]] Dan seem to be the closest out of the group of four.

** Dan rails against the "handsome, blond shithead" in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' who gets the girl and wasn't in the book. The whole time he's pointing his thumb at Soren, who waggles his eyebrows and grins.

* HypotheticalCasting: Discussed in the apocalypse episode, for Film/IndependenceDay.

-->'''Michael:''' Yeah, plus, [[RealityEnsues I think that handle's all inter-woven leather and jungle grime]], so you don't want to go there.

* RealityEnsues: In their discussion on rom-coms, Michael([[DumbassHasAPoint very accurately]], I might add) points out that the easy part of a relationship, which is the one that rom-coms cover and nothing else, is falling in love, and that people fall in love by accident with terrible people all the time... Cue illustrations of Music/AmyWinehouse with Pete Doherty, Music/TinaTurner with Ike Turner, Music/{{Rihanna}} with Music/ChrisBrown and Music/KurtCobain with Music/CourtneyLove.

** He was also extremely eager to role-play, until he realized he was getting excited about role-play.
