* LostInCharacter: The narration implies that [[spoiler:Hannah got too much into character during ''Machinima/RedVsBlue: Zero'' that she developed a murderous bent.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Blaine]] apparently got their job at Rooster Teeth thanks to a bargain with the demon Gambo. They actually exploit their contract here to ensure their survival, [[spoiler:as the bargain was for Blaine to get a job at Rooster Teeth, become shredded, and one day become Mister Universe; as he's still not completed the last task, Gambo ensures that Blaine will be unharmed until that's done. Unfortunately for Blaine, having the ''name'' Universe fulfills this contract. His mom marries a man named Brad Universe and Blaine takes his last name, making Blane Mr. Universe. He dies shortly after. Even more unfortunate, it was all a hallucination from drinking spiked whiskey, as Jessica reveals in the episode after.]]

** As the narration goes between the different storylines between the guests, Alfredo suddenly cuts in and says there's too much going on. He says it's lazy storytelling and demands the story focus on one line for the time being.
