* ButtMonkey:
** Graydon. He usually loses the games, sometimes getting zero points, and more often complains if he's doing badly compared to Riley.
** Though, because Riley often wins the games, the fandom sees him as an okay target for the butt-monkey treatment.

* ButtMonkey: Graydon. He usually loses the games, sometimes getting zero points, and more often complains if he's doing badly compared to Riley.

* ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvSmDkaEnck Daddy's Fancy Boat.]] Many commenters were confused as to why the guys were laughing so hard about it, thinking maybe it was a reference they weren't aware of. There is no reference, it just broke them for no reason.

* StraightMan: Riley compared to Graydon, and Grant compared to both of them.

* SuddenlyShouting: Near the end of "Guess The Producer From The Really Old Beat", Grant shouted at Riley "I don't need to tell you anything!" when Riley complained about the fact the game was over without knowing the question they guessed for was the last one.

* ShoutOut: Quadeca reps for the entire country of UsefulNotes/{{Bulgaria}} in the Audio Olympics, even though nobody was supposed to represent a country in the first place. He lists various fun facts about the country throughout the video and even sings their national anthem in Bulgarian ''from memory,'' meaning he definitely had to practice. The few Bulgarian fans of Hivemind in the comments were overjoyed.

* TakeThat: Dignan's hilariously over-the-top rant against Creator/JKRowling, where he says he hopes she burns in a house fire--and [[FateWorseThanDeath survives]]. While the rant is too over-the-top to be taken seriously, it does come from an actual place of anger for Rowling's hate speech against transgender people.

* WellDoneSonGuy: In Guess the Popular Rap Songs by the sample(with NFR Podcast) Riley asked Luca and Ant if their father said that they were proud of them would it fix all of their relationship problems. [[TheComicallySerious While saying it with a dead serious tone and voice]] Anthony of NFR Podcast says that he writes letters and gives letters to his father everyday hoping that he would write back and he never does. While his father would get emotional, he would end up shredding the letter or putting it away somewhere. Graydon and Riley both laugh with Riley saying "Its weird that your content isn't outwordly funny but you got bits." Luca and Ant both treat this seriously and Ant shames the two saying he drove all the way done he just for the two to clown his sour relationship with his father and playing it for bits.

--> Riley: No but it's just like- his life is inconsistent. At one point he told me he had a brother named Dunlap and his last name was Dirkin; then all of a sudden he said he had never said that and his last name is Zazumba-Zaffodil
--> Dignan: I never said that.
--> Riley: You never said which one?!
--> Dignan: The latter.
--> Riley: Zazumba-Zaffodil you never said that? Can pull up a video right now... Now you are saying you have a twin sister named Dignity whose a Tennessee Congress Woman?
--> Dignan: Yes
--> Riley: Yeah... ok. I just don't believe it.

--> Riley: ''(pointing at the camera)'' Don't smoke! Especially if you're young."

--> Riley: No but it's just like- his life is inconsistent. At one point he told me he had a brother named Dunlap and his last name was Dirkin; then all of a sudden he told me he had never said that and his last name is Zazumba-Zaffodil

* MultipleChoicePast: Conversed by Riley about Dignan's inconsistent past on Audio Olympics when he brings up his twin sister named Dignity that Riley has never met.

* HiddenDepths: Grant is an accomplished music video director.

* ChromosomeCasting: All the main members of Hivemind - Riley, Graydon, and Grant - are all men, though they have had women as special guests.

* AccidentalTruth: They joked once that there should be an adult version of WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants. This was actually proposed in real life but was turned down.
** In an episode of "Hivemind Fude", Graydon says there should be a comic book character named Catman. He does actually exist, although he's more of an obscure character.

* AffectionateNickname: They call singer and actress Music/OliviaRodrigo O Rod.

--> Graydon: ''"He looks like a hot guy now. Not that he was, like, a hideous monster there, but he looked like a doofus."''

** Creator/PeteDavidson also gets many (much more) friendly jabs from both hosts, mostly Riley.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Quadeca does this during a game of Hivemind Feud.
--> Riley: "See, {{Music/Drake}} has remained the same level of problematic the whole time. Like, there's been moments where it's been like, we're not gonna put [[Music/KanyeWest Kanye]] on the thumbnail, recently. Drake, still fair game."
--> Quadeca: "Yeah, dude. [[spoiler: 'Til he fucks your kid. ''*beat*'' ...Sorry!"]]

* StylisticSuck: Some of the rapper impressions they got from Fivver were done like this, most notably the one of Music/LilPump and Dev Lemons' impression of {{Music/Eminem}}. Graydon/Dignan also sometimes sings like this, one notable example was him singing some lyrics from Music/RayCharles in one of the games of Guess the Popular Rap Song from the Sample.

* HeCleansUpNicely: They discuss this about Quadeca, pointing out how he used to dress like a dork but has since changed his style and is "hot" now. Commenters even half-jokingly call him a sex symbol.

--> Riley: ''"It's weird that he's like, a hot guy now."''

--> Graydon: ''No points for jazz freaks.''

HIVEMIND is a Youtube channel hosted by, in their own words, two white guys from the Midwest, Riley Savage and Graydon Weaver who make content such as vlogs, music videos,and original content. They're most known for their hip hop related quiz games, including "Guess the Rapper from the Really Old Song", "Guess the Album from the Features" and "Guess the Album from All the Songs Playing at Once". From their first video on September 1st, 2016, they have amassed over a hundred thousand subscribers as of November 2021. They are known for their weird and strange sense of humor and often crazy stories as well. They also have a DJ, DJ Grant Meeker, who is the one who plays the songs and tells them the right answers after the two are done guessing.

** They're rarely ever serious in the videos, but there are moments when they speak seriously about serious topics, such as when they discuss homophobia and transphobia in their review of [[Music/KendrickLamar Kendrick Lamar's]] ''Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers.''

* BigGuyLittleGuy: Graydon is much taller than Riley.
