* CuteKitten: Gav's cat, Lloyd, is very obedient to allow him to film her jumping down a tree and climbing up a fence when asked to. Of course, she tends to get in the way of ''some'' filmings.

** Dan gets his revenge in the "Paint Pendulum" episode on ''The Super Slow Show''. After getting hit by a giant balloon filled with paint, he convinces Gavin to get hit with one. After they decide to up the balloons to two, he beats Gavin in RockPaperScissors...forcing Gavin to get hit with them instead of him.

* DontTryThisAtHome: Gavin claims he dislikes these disclaimers, so [[AvertedTrope he rarely uses them]]. The few times when he ''does'' say it lets you know that that day's activity is probably stupid levels of dangerous. For the Super Slow Show, each video does come with one.

* NoodleImplements: In the flamethrower video, Gavin mentions that it's the first time he's ever received one in the mail. Dan, however, quips that it's happened to him before.

-->'''No dogs were harmed in the making of this video. However, many treats were brutally murdered. ''

* ButtMonkey: Dan is usually on the receiving end of very painful shots from: Getting slapped in the face, receiving a [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball football]] to the side of the head, getting hit with a champagne cork, finger in a mouse trap, punched in the stomach, burnt by boiling oil, burnt by hot popcorn butter, almost drowned with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext water-filled condom on his head]], choked on cinnamon, shot by a paintball gun in ''both'' legs, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking shot with a]] [[NERFBrand Maverick]].

* {{BFG}}: Gavin was first to fire the ''Barrett M82 .50 BMG'' in the video featuring it, the video even gives a "Noise Warning" because the thing looks, sounds and acts like a miniature tank gun than a rifle. He and Dan both struggle to hold it up and the magazine looks about as big as his face.

* EyeScream: A very minor example when the Cuboid claimed he could [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} taste tomato through his eye]] when one was thrown at him.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: [[spoiler: Okay, more like model globe shattering kaboom]].

* SubmissiveBadass: Apparently Dan is very submissive to Gavin and generally lets him talk him into doing anything; as noted by Michael Jones, its kinda hilarious considering Gavin is tiny in comparison to [[TheBigGuy Dan]].
** Extra hilarious, given that Dan has served in the British Army for several years.

* VitriolicBestBuds[=/=/HeterosexualLifePartners: Dan and Gavin. The series runs on ComedicSociopathy, but at the end of the day, they're really good friends since their days in secondary school.

* FunWithSubtitles: Whoever does the subtitles for them tends to crack jokes in parenthesis or brackets. Particularly in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vUgGSLTtOg 25 Airbag Rainbow Explosion]] video.
