* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each of them has a distinct color of subtitle: Birgir is white, Banzaii is yellow, and game dialogue is green. The rare times the resident [[TheSmurfettePrinciple lady]] speaks is colored purple.
* ContagiousLaughter: Banzaii's habit of breaking into fits of loud wheezy cackling, alongside whatever madness is happening on-screen, will likely have your sides leaving orbit. Birgir is harder to notice as he's more quiet and tends to get drowned out.
