* CloudCuckoolander: Ash herself.

%%-->"[[{{Minecraft}} I'll burn]] ''your'' shack down."

''[[http://www.heyash.com/ Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?]]'', aka HAWP, is a video series by Destructoid hosted on Gametrailers.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Ashley is often this to Anthony, especially in the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' episode.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: In the episode about ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}'', Anthony thinks this sorta thing would ensue when Ash asks whether he would look for her if she was stuck in a dark forest. When he asks whether she would come looking for him, she shoots down the possibility ''completely''.
* BigNo: In the "Guitar Hero" episode, Ash decides to go poop on Anthony's bed while he's stuck playing Guitar Hero 2. It's only when it's all over does she realize she pooped on her own bed!
** Another one happens in the ''Yoshi's Cookie'' episode when Anthony exploits her habit of eating four cookies in a row.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Ash has her own ideas of what SJW mean.

* ComedicSociopathy: Ashly goes [[VideoGame/{{Braid}} back in time]], [[spoiler: to punch her mom when she was pregnant with Anthony]].
* TheCorrupter: Ash acts as one to her young cousin in the episode on ''VideoGame/ThisWarOfMine''.

* DepravedBisexual: Ashly
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Ashly is seen barefoot in practically every indoors scene.

* DrivenToSuicide: Ash's attempt to emulate ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' goes as well as one would think. Anthony follows after a minute of trying and failing to explain the game.
-->"What's Persona 3?"
-->"A game where you fuckin' kill yourself, apparently."

* ElmerFuddSyndrome: Ash slurs her speech when she replies to the TitleDrop at the start of each episode. Depending on her level of insanity, it can persist the whole episode.
-->'''Anthony:''' Hey Ash, watcha playin'?
-->'''Ashly:''' Twauma Centah.

* GamerChick: Ashly; the premise of the show revolves around her taking the games she plays a bit too seriously.

* MotorMouth: Ashly, especially in Season Two and onwards.
* NauseaFuel: In-universe Ashly steals the clothes off Papa Burch during the parody of ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''. The look on her face says that she did not think that through.

* OverlyLongGag: Ash makes a sex joke and stares into the camera while unfitting music plays. She was there for nearly 2 hours.

* 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.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: In "A Death in the Family Part 2":
-->'''Ash''': "[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros It's-a-me]], the bitch who gonna' kick your ass!"

* RealityWarper: Ash becomes this in the ''Quantum Conundrum'' episode by putting Anthony into other dimensions.

%%* RefugeInAudacity: Ashly basically embodies this.

%%* ScrewySquirrel: Ash.

* TwoGamersOnACouch: Pretty much the basis of the ''VideoGame/Uncharted2AmongThieves'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' episodes, among others. Well, two big poofy armchairs at least.
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Ash wears an American flag over herself in the Civilization 5 episode.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: In the Mass Effect 3 episode, Ash comes to Anthony wondering why there's water coming out of her eyes playing Mass Effect 3. Specifically, [[spoiler: when Mordin dies.]]

* 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...
-->'''Ashly:''' [[YouAreTooLate You're too late]]! Enjoy the poop!
-->'''Anthony:''' [[spoiler:...This is your room.]]
-->'''Ashly:''' ...[[BigNo NOOOOOOO-]]
-->''(Cut to the credits screen))''

* WomanOfAThousandVoices: Ashly has a fairly impressive vocal range, portraying a wide variety of roles from [[VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}} insane children]] to [[Manga/AttackOnTitan potato-loving monster hunters]] to [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 professional secretaries]] to [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX snarky daughters of soldiers and Hollywood A-Listers]].

** Ash herself gets this treatment in "Noir", where she agrees to help Blavis because of her "[[BuxomIsBetter half-decent rack]]". She also gets excited over boobs in the "Lara Croft" and "Sexy Booth Babes" episodes. Also during her trip to [[VideoGame/SaintsRowIV Volition]], she takes a cardboard cutout of Shaundi into the bathroom for some...enjoyment.

%%* BigNo: "Guitar Hero".

* PromotedFanboy: Both Ash and Anthony have broken out into careers in the games industry. Anthony works for Gearbox, and has worked on ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' as head writer. Ash, meanwhile, has gone into voice acting, portraying Tiny Tina in ''Borderlands 2'' and Ayla in ''VideoGame/{{Awesomenauts}}''.
** The entire Burch clan are also DLC homies for ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV''.
** Ashly has also broken out into anime dubbing, her debut role being Sasha Blouse in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''.

* {{Defictionalization}}: Ashly, Anthony, and Papa Burch have been officially released as DLC homies for ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV''. The DLC comes with the "hit 'em with your dildo laser" line from the ''Saints Row the Third'' episode of "Hey, Ash."

*** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oJtfULZj0Y the trailer]] for her DLC pack for ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'', Ash is taken on a tour of Volition headquarters, spies a cardboard cutout of [[MsFanservice Shaundi]], and takes it into the bathroom for some [[ADateWithRosiePalms alone time]].

* 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.
** In the Season 3 finale, [[spoiler:Anthony gets letters threatening Ash, so they agree to work together. Except he was protecting the wrong Ashley. This can be easily explained by the fact that Anthony could easily have assumed "Ashley" was a misspelling of his sister's name, and there are a lot more reasons for someone to try and kill Ash than his wife.]]

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Ash and Anthony are mixed-race (their mom is Thai/East Indian according to Ashly's Facebook profile) and Anthony describes himself as "brown" in a couple of videos. This results in Anthony being accused of being a terrorist by [[HypocriticalHumor Ash]] and Papa Burch in the ''RedFactionGuerrilla '' episode.

** Anthony, who gets married to Ashley Davis... and refuses to have sex with her, until she cosplays as Big Boss... and writes disturbing ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' yaoi after that.

** Funnily enough, Ashley herself played this role when she was with Papa Burch in the Live from 3COM video.
