** In 'We Broke Star Trek," Biggi (playing Spock) dangles from a hole in the ceiling before dropping to the ground... only to find that Spock is stuck in his hanging animation. Banzaii promptly cracks up, leaving Kirk unpiloted as he goes on laughing himself to tears in the background; in the end, the only way the two of them can continue playing is if Banzaii avoids looking at the still-bugged Spock. Eventually, a cutscene appears to fix the bug, only for the hanging animation to return when gameplay resumes. Banzaai loses it all over again.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: All the videos are titled "I Broke/We Broke ______". Inverted in the case of Ride to Hell: Retribution, where the title is fittingly changed to "Ride to Hell: Retribution broke me".

'''''[=BirgirPall=]''''' (often shortened to "Biggi" due to [[TheUnpronouncable difficult phonetics]]), is an Icelandic [[TwoGamersOnACouch gaming duo]] consisting of the titular [=BirgirPall=] and his friend Banzaii. They mostly do edited highlight reels called "We Broke" (formerly known as "I Broke") in which they aim to play the game in unintended ways [[GameBreakingBug often exposing game breaking glitches and bugs]]. [[HilarityEnsues In which they then laugh at the results.]] The duo began with comedic video montages of Battlefield 3, messing around in the game and "trolling" other players. The duo then began doing the same for other games, the rest is history.

The channel went on a light hiatus in October 2017, replacing the usual "We Broke" videos with uploads of twitch live streams, before a permanent hiatus in January 2018. The duo entered new full time jobs in the games industry, with Biggi working for CCP Games, the developers of VideoGame/EveOnline in Iceland, and Banzaii at White Elk Studios, a VR studio in California most well known for Eclipse: Edge of Light.

* HelplessWithLaughter:
** "We Broke Surgeon Simulator," Biggi tries to answer the phone, only to fumble the controls and get the phone draped over the in-game monitor, leaving the receiver and cord obscuring the screen. Banzaii cracks up as he realizes that the on-screen "Insert disk" text now appears to read "Insert dick", and ends up laughing for so long and so hard that the subtitles suggest that he needs an inhaler.

* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: Occasionally, due to the mixture of Icelandic and English (and general spluttering of laughter) words will be spoken that even the subtitles can't make head or tail of, such as in the Assassin's Creed III video, where the subtitles can't work out what "owling" is supposed to mean, so they just stick a picture of a bewildered-looking owl instead.
