* TakeThat - in the Pro At Cooking spinoff, Dave regularly delivers {{Take That}}s to vegetarianism. In "Dave's Pimpin' Pizza" (episode 3), he made three types of pizzas: two vegetarian pizzas and one "real pizza" and justified his meat eating to his vegetarian assistant that episode. In "Dave's Mouthwatering Chili" (episode 4), he told his vegetarian assistant to prepare the meat. Finally in "Dave's Eggplant Parmesan," he had a vegan assistant. When she told him about the environmental benefits of not eating meat (ie: the production of meat releases a lot of greenhouse gases), he mentioned since she drove a car and he rides a bike (which is more environment-friendly), that gives him the right to eat as much meat as he wants. Then when she began ranting about the health and ethical benefits of her diet as they waited for the meal to finish cooking, he overdubbed a rant about how pro at cooking he is and how good meat is.
* TechnoBabble - to anyone not familiar with CommandAndConquerGenerals jargon:
--> "I'm coming at your base with two rockvees and an ambo. You've got a Jarmen, two scorps, and a quad. What do you do?" [[labelnote:explanation]]two Humvees loaded with soldiers with rocket launchers, and an ambulance, versus GLA sniper Jarmen Kell, two Scorpion tanks, and a Quad Cannon.[[/labelnote]]
* TookALevelInBadass - Up until "The Story of Dave" Dave had shown little interest in games until Jeremy is attacked by micro warriors. During the middle of the battle, the action cuts off to an important flashback of Dave's past in China, revealing his gaming history. He reveals that he too has micro skills and comes to the rescue.
* UnstoppableRage - The ''epic'' scene in which FPS Doug dies (in Counter-Strike), proceeds to scream "FUCKING GODDAMN LAG!", and smashes the everloving shit out of his keyboard.
* UpToEleven - [[http://www.purepwnage.com/episodes/s2/4/ Episode 16 ]] opens with a ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' homage where Jeremy activates a series of amplifiers and overdrivers attached to his Xbox360 and dialing up the volume past the labeled 'Max' setting as well as the labeled 'Dude', and 'Srsly' marks to reach 'WTF' before rocking out to RockBand.
* VideogamesOfNote - Name checked on the show: ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'', ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Counter-Strike}}'', ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'', ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' and ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' .
* WideEyedIdealist - Oh, Doug. In the final episode of the TV series, Doug cheerfully signs up for the actual Canadian Army, thinking it'll be a life where he gets to carry out missions with real guns and if he dies, he'll simply "re-spawn" like video game avatars do. Kyle and October try in vain to explain to Doug what it is he's actually doing.
** This was implied to have happened in the backstory for the web series as well, as Doug had contemplated joining the army, since in his mind it was just like an FPS, except better graphics, but, to his dismay, "there are no respawn points in RL".
