When he asks whether she would come looking for him, she shoots down the possibility ''completely''.

** The ''Videogame/MonkeyIsland'' episode, where [[spoiler: Papa Burch finds the airport massacre in ''[[Videogame/ModernWarfare Modern Warfare 2]]'' hilarious. It would be a DudeNotFunny, if not for the {{lampshading}} by Ashly's horrified face.]]
** The ''Videogame/NBAJam'' episode where [[spoiler: the Burch clan are using a baby as a basketball. Gets even funnier when Papa Burch slamdunks the baby into a garbage can.]]

%%* DarkerAndEdgier: The ''Videogame/PokemonSnap'' episode.

%%* PacifistRun / NoDeathRun: Parodied in the ''Videogame/FalloutNewVegas'' episode.

* PetTheDog: Theoretically, Ashly getting Anthony toilet paper in the ''Videogame/EliteBeatAgents'' episode. Her method of delivery, imitating the gameplay of the series, is rather circuitous, however.

* WithLyrics: From the ''Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' episode:

* YouAreTooLate: Ashly declares that she's going to poop in Anthony's bed while he's playing ''Videogame/GuitarHero''. Anthony tries to pause the game and stop her, but it turns out that she broke the pause button earlier. By the time he finishes playing, well...

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIcKqqz2lm8 This episode of HAWP]] in which the punchline ends with [[spoiler:"Sometimes life isn't funny"]].
** The Monkey Island episode is a example, as [[spoiler: Papa Burch finds the airport massacre in ModernWarfare2 hilarious. It would be a DudeNotFunny, if not for the [[LampshadeHanging Lampshading]] by [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Ashly's horrified face]]]].
** The NBAJam episode where [[spoiler: the Burch clan are using a baby as a basketball. Gets even funnier when Papa Burch slamdunks the baby into a garbage can.]]
* BodyHorror: Played with in the FEAR 3 episode: the only thing Ash finds scary is how Anthony's body becomes disfigured when playing AR Games on the 3DS with the AR card on his body.

* FanDisservice: [[spoiler: Street Fighter IV]]
* GamerChick: Ashly again.
* GenderInvertedTrope: The entire [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxUgSWlCoTE Hot Slutz]] video uses this to underline its {{Aesop}} (in absolutely hilarious fashion).
** The ''Tomb Raider'' review also does this by having Ashly kick Anthony off the chair and chant "[[BuxomIsBetter titties titties titties titties titties]]," but this is more PlayedForLaughs and largely serves as a segue to ''that'' episode's Aesop (namely, that nothing's wrong with the MostCommonSuperpower as long as it isn't the character's entire personality).

* MissingMom: In a way. Mama Burch is just camera shy.
** Averted in "Cooking Mama"... and what a way to make an entrance.
* MostCommonSuperpower: DiscussedTrope. In their opinion, there's nothing wrong with fanservice, but a character needs to have personality traits beyond being sexy.
* MotorMouth: Ashly, moreso in Season Two.
* NamesTheSame: Ashly (Burch) and Ashley Davis, who does Once Upon a Pixel. Anthony is now married to Ashley Davis, but this didn't stop Ashly (his sister) from making incest jokes.

-->'''Anthony:''' Hey Ash, watcha playin'?
-->'''Ashly:''' Twauma Centah
* SingleTear: Papa Burch cries a [[ManlyTears Manly Tear]] in the VivaPinata episode.
* SpinOff: Once Upon a Pixel
* StepfordSmiler: Ashely (Davis). Played for laughs as all she does is smile no matter what. Up to and including her 3DS being stolen right of her hands.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: DoubleSubverted in the Mass Effect 2 episode. [[OnlySaneMan Anthony]] calls a therapist for a session, but [[PsychopathicManchild Ashly]] doesn't care & [[CrowningMomentofAwesome Papa Burch gets mad at him due to not going to Fuddruckers]].
* TooDumbToLive

* TwoGamersOnACouch: Pretty much the basis of the ''{{Uncharted}} 2'' and ''SuperSmashBrothersBrawl'' episodes, among others. Well, two big poofy armchairs at least.

* WomenAreWiser: Inverted. [[OnlySaneMan Anthony]], the male of the duo is morally superior to the female Ashly.
** Averted in [[spoiler: Yoshi's Cookie episode]]
* YouAreTooLate: Ashly declares that she's going to poop in Anthony's bed while he's playing ''GuitarHero''. Anthony tries to pause the game and stop her, but it turns out that she broke the pause button earlier. By the time he finishes playing... well, I'll let the dialogue speak for itself.

* YourHeadAsplode:
** '1 vs. 100'.
** 'Uncharted 2'
** Ashly [[spoiler: purposely invokes this in the season 2 finale. Twice.]]

It is presented in short episodes, usually only a few minutes long. Any given episode [[OnceAnEpisode typically begins with]] Ashly's older brother, Anthony, asking his sister [[TitleDrop what game she's currently playing]], whereupon she responds and the siblings (and sometimes their friends) conduct a skit/parody of said game. Said skit can consist of her acting as the game's characters, putting herself into the game's situation and acting completely unlike the characters (she'd rather play Connect Four with herself than [[Left4Dead fight the horde]]) or even just sitting and yelling at the game while she plays it.

* {{Crossdresser}}: Ash is fond of wearing suits, and dressed up as [[Left4Dead Francis]] in one episode. Her sister-in-law Davis dressed up as [[Left4Dead Louis]], [[spoiler:while Anthony has infamously dressed up as [[StreetFighter Sakura]], and Papa Burch dressed as [[Left4Dead Zoey]].]]
