* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Amir thinks his mother is this because she wants to bring cookies up for him and his coworkers.

* AnOddPlaceToSleep: Amir has been seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDKnEkKGny0&feature=relmfu sleeping]] at his [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/4810016385/fedora desk]], on the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnkGJZqmdw0 floor]], and curled up on a [[http://vimeo.com/855920 stone table]].
* AuthorAppeal: Jake and Amir write the episodes according to what they find funny, which changes over time.
* AuthorFilibuster: At the end of [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/5580522378/journal "Journal"]], the writers respond to criticism for changing the series and using catchphrases less by having Jake represent them when Amir tells him that [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks "In a perfect world, nothing would ever change"]].
* BareYourMidriff: Amir's bellybutton is seen [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/18441859/t-shirt-wanna-watch-in-full-hd-click-here here]].

-->'''Jake:''' Who the f**k are you winking at?
* ButtMonkey: Pat Cassels. See "Bake Sale," "Freaky Friday," and "Interpreters 4"
* CallBack: In the 8-part "Girlfriend" episode Jake talks to Leronuh for a while about flying a kite. He says almost the exact same thing as he did in "Kite" three years earlier.
* CatchPhrase: Several: "Dinner tonight?", "Oh sheesh yall! T'was a dream!" and more recently "Another day at the races..." for Amir, with "Wow..." and "You gotta learn how to be funny, man," for Jake.
* CharacterDevelopment: At first Jake was a calm average guy and Amir lacked confidence. As Jake began to give him attention Amir got more and more confident making Jake more and more angry.

* ChristmasEpisode: One each year, "Christmas", "Happy Holidays", "Santa" and "Toy Drive".
* ClothingSwitch: The actors sometimes wear the same shirts from other clips. Noticeable in the flashbacks of "Happy Holidays" and Record Breaker.
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: So many examples. To list one from "Elevator":
-->'''Amir (to Jake)''': We should call our loved ones and say goodbye. [pulls out his phone and calls Jake]
* CoolUncle: [[http://vimeo.com/398770 Amir]] back in the beginning of collegehumor.
* CringeComedy: Especially in the earlier episodes.
* DaydreamSurprise: [[http://vimeo.com/431325 My Boy]]. Also an example of {{FaceDoodling}}.

* FearOfThunder: See [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/155769085/storm Storm]]
* {{Flanderization}}: Amir's weirdness, ability to do physically impossible things, and extent of his KarmaHoudini abilities have generally increased over the series. Possibly inverted with Jake, whose simple StraightMan routine was expanded on; he wants to seem cool and hip, but it often leads him to acting like a {{jerkass}} or just being intensely unfunny.
* ForgottenBirthday: Subverted and then played straight in [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/24576747/amirs-birthday Amir's Birthday]] and [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6698708/jake-and-amir-jacuzzi Jacuzzi]].
* FreakyFridayFlip: Amir tries to force this to happen in [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/807270737/freaky-friday "Freaky Friday"]].

* FriendshipMoment: The conclusion of the "Sick Day" story arc.
** Almost in Business Card.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: See [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/5062942/jake-and-amir-the-godfather The Godfather]]
* GenreSavvy: Jake becomes more savvy to Amir's ways over time...but it very rarely helps him in the end.

* InDaClub: Part 4 in the "Interpreters" arc is actually called "In Da Club".
* InstantSedation: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBhj20nbvps Sleeping Pills]].
* JerkAss: Jake is arguably becoming one of these. His behavior towards Amir is typically justifiably harsh, but there are plenty of times where he acts like a completely self-centered jackass who'll exploit Amir or grandstand around others, as well as sometimes disagreeing with or mocking Amir for the sake of it (or in spite of actually being the wrong one).
** Seems to be possibly falling into JerkassWoobie territory, if not just plain old Woobie [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVYfULG0-rA these days]].
* JugglingLoadedGuns: Seen in [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/5885884/jake-and-amir-moving-part-2 Moving Part 2]] and [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/2598010808/ransom Ransom]]

* LoveTriangle - In the Jake and Amir: Girlfriend series, there was a Type 4 as Jake fell in love with Lerona, who was dating Amir. [[spoiler: Eventually the roles of Jake and Amir switch after Jake confesses to Lerona and she chooses him over Amir.]][[spoiler:...and then gets promptly run over by a bus.]]
* MarijuanaIsLSD: Amir thinks this is a good video idea in [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/20489177/brownies Brownies]]
* MeaningfulEcho / {{Foreshadowing}}: In the Girlfriend episodes:

-->'''Amir:''' Kinda crazy, huh?
-->'''Jake:''' What is?
-->'''Amir:''' One minute you're here; the next, ''(simulates a crash with his hands)'' you're worm food.

* MindFuck: Amir drags a Christmas present wrapped in a giant box and asks him to open it. Jake pulls it open and finds Amir inside, who is no longer standing beside him.
* ModestyTowel: [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/34706120/new-apartment New Apartment]].
* NoodleIncident: In "Snowstorm", apparently whatever Jake did on March 15, 1999 was bad enough that it could put him in prison.

* ReplacementGoldfish: Both [[http://vimeo.com/233008 Jake]] and [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/113355576/understudy Amir]] have held auditions for their counterparts.
* RockPaperScissors: In an episode of the same name, Amir cheats against Jake by turning his rock into paper at the last minute. Jake then breaks his ribs...
* SeamlessSpontaneousLie: Done countless times by [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6671253/jake-and-amir-break Amir]], done by Jake [[http://www.jakeandamir.com/post/125866395/last-night-the-prequel here]].
