History WebVideo / TwoBestFriendsPlay

** Taken UpToEleven with [[spoiler: ''six Wrestling/{{Chris Benoit}}s'']] in ''WWE 2K15''.

* RantInducingSlight: The one thing that Woolie found intolerable in Indigo Prophecy was how at the end, the game completely copied Creator/GrantMorrison's ComicBook/TheInvisibles, even using the exact same name.

** "Excuse me, sir." said by Pat in their ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'' playthrough whenever an enemy interrupts him in the middle of doing something. Lampshaded later in the LP when Pat realises just how often he says it.

--> ''During the opening credits''
--> '''Pat''': (referring to Jackie) Oh, he's that skeez-ball that you use.
--> '''Matt''': '''''EMMA STONE!?!'''''
--> '''Pat''': Calm down.

-->'''Pat''': Okay man, I wasn't exactly gonna ask or anything, but why won't you stop touching all the-*cut to next clip*

-->'''Woolie (as X-23):''' Yeah it's kind of unblockable when you're jumping in, and you're at level three.\\

* cut to credits*

* VerbalTic: Both Matt and Pat have a tendency to end sentences with "even," "already," or "though."

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** In addition to being a full-on LetsPlay, in the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' videos Matt and Pat act a lot more normal. Matt isn't an idiot, and Pat is a lot less exasperated. This is lampshaded.
** While playing ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', there are three instances when the video cuts to live action skits of Woolie asking [[VideoGame/MarvelvsCapcom3 "WHENS MAHVEL?"]]
** ''VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' video, which mostly consists of them reading the in-game comics.
** Many of their one-offs are much like this, such as them doing live action skits/adventures such as their Wall-Mart Episode to them playing different games than what they usually do.
** In the beginning of Pat and Woolie's LP of VideoGame/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream, Pat admits that one of the main reasons that they decided to LP this game was to present something different than what they usually play.
** They started streaming, which Liam even lampshades a starting point of how much they changed.

* EightDeadlyWords: [[invoked]] {{Discussed|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'', where the guys admit that they think the heroes are too "uncool" to care for.

** The Best Friends play ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2''!... [[spoiler:only to learn of its faults (one, for instance, lets you indefinitely juggle enemies with ''just your pistols''), so they skip over it to play ''Devil May Cry 3'' instead.]]

** The continuous firing at the head of a frozen demon in VideoGame/DmcDevilMayCry.

* [[WebVideo/WoolieVersus Woolie]]: Established [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyOJzQzyDGihKpTO3-zyhYg/featured WoolieVersus]] as both a [=YouTube=] and [[https://www.twitch.tv/woolieversus Twitch]] channel. Has a mix of normal Let's Plays, streams, and pre-planned content, usually co-hosted with [[https://www.twitch.tv/SoushinSen Minh]]/"Billy" and fellow fighting-game commentator [[https://twitter.com/chesterr01 Reggie.]] Considered by many to be the SpiritualSuccessor of the original ''Super Best Friends'' formula.

** Their video for ''VideoGame/ThePunisher''; unsurprising, given that's the entire point of the game.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY:
** During their Let's Play of Metroid Fusion, the word target is often pronounced tar-jay.
** They also occasionally pronounce David Cage's name as "David Cah-Jay", either making fun of his French accent or his pretentious nature.

* ActorAllusion: In the ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain America: Super Soldier]]'' video Matt and Pat stop in front of a portrait of Johann Schmidt and take turns wondering why [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Elrond]], [[Film/TheMatrix Agent Smith]], [[Film/{{Transformers}} Megatron]], and [[Film/VForVendetta V]] ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint and Red Skull]]) would have portraits in a German castle before running out of Creator/HugoWeaving movies they can remember.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Pat remarks that he has "so many problems" with the premise of the first level of ''Mass Effect: Andromeda'', where the heroes have to physically visit the surface of a new planet to determine if it's habitable, and the presence of this trope drives Pat to almost BerserkButton levels of anger.

** During their stream of ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'', they mention the dangers of standing too close to [=NPCs=] when not interacting with them because of the risk of accidentally attacking--the PS3's controller's triggers are very easy to press by accident, including when it's set down, and there's no such thing as pausing (and, inexplicably, ''the player can still attack while in a menu''). Despite his caution, Woolie almost has an incident anyway, leading to this trope being referenced.

** In their ''Dead Rising 3'' episode, taking the fact that Dick kinda looks like [[Franchise/FatalFury Terry Bogard]], Matt inserts some of Terry's Engrish quotes, referencing a video he did a LONG time ago for the King of Fighters live-action film on his original deleted channel.

** After the news breaks that the much hated Vic van Lier has died in a car crash in ''Livin' Da Dream'', they quip, "Well, he sure won’t be bringing that car back spic and span!"

** Pat running the playthrough of ''VideoGame/XCOM2'' on Commander difficulty, with Ironman enabled. He only succeeds in a single mission (the very first one), and [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption every other mission]] ends with the objectives failed and usually only a single survivor on Pat's squad ([[TotalPartyKill and sometimes not even that]]). He barely has enough resources to sustain his research and replace his losses, and the campaign ultimately ends [[FinalDeath with the completion of the Avatar Project]]. He even have a zero damage dealt t the enemy at one point (he was to weak to complete a vital black site mission so he tried a crash and grab that failed).

* ThemeTuneCameo: While fighting the Black Guardian in ''Eternal Darkness'' and realizing they don't have any idea of how to fight him, Matt starts singing the Kirby music to imply the video is over. The video ends shortly afterwards anyway.

** During the final round of the [[VideoGame/{{Worms}} Worms 2: Armageddon]] video, Woolie finds a [[StuffBlowingUp Banana Bomb]], an item that provokes a BigYes from the now-spectating Pat and an OhCrap from the surviving Matt. Come the final turn of the video, Woolie has ten seconds to damage Matt enough to put him in the lead, and Pat urges him to use the Banana Bomb. He gets into position, throws it... [[spoiler: ...and it flies across the map, [[OhCrap hits a curve]], [[EpicFail flies back towards Woolie]], and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments detonates over his head]], all to the hysterical laughter of Matt and Pat.]]

** The Zaibatsu collaborated with Max again... kinda. To explain: the guys did [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnGL4SMntcY a Saturday Morning Scrublords video on]] VideoGame/BioFreaks, where they play through the game's arcade mode on [[EasierThanEasy Very Easy]] and call out Max and co. for being "too scurred" to play the game for Boss Rage. Max, Steve, and Kenny then did a ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3cAwjjnWiQ seven hour livestream]]'' of the game for Boss Rage ''on [[HarderThanHard Freak difficulty]]'', the last three hours of which were spent on the final boss alone. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome And they beat him]].

** Matt spends the entire ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' video avoiding his "AMERICA!" catchphrase (He rarely even uses the character's full name) despite the insistence of Pat. [[spoiler: Until the end when he launches into an ''epic'' "AMERICAAAAAAAAAA!" [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome while Cap does a flying punch on a robot.]]]]

On December 16, 2018, it was revealed that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8foDBekOYM Super Best Friends would be officially ending]], with each member going on to focus on their solo projects:

* [[WebVideo/PatStaresAt Pat]]: Streams on Twitch as [[https://www.twitch.tv/patstaresat Pat Stares At]]. On occasion, he also joins his fiancée Paige's streams at her channel, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMaikIXU5cF6nS2YgJPYQsQ Peach]][[https://www.twitch.tv/peachsaliva Saliva.]] Archives from their streams are re-posted on [=YouTube=].

* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: Matt tries to buy a gun from a dealer in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''. It doesn't go well.

* AccidentalMisnaming: In the Salty Bet episodes of Friday Night Fisticuffs, the guys mistakenly identify ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' characters as coming from ''VideoGame/EternalFighterZero''[[note]]This is somewhat understandable as the ''Touhou'' sprites come from ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'', which was made by the same creator (Creator/TwilightFrontier) and has a similar art style[[/note]]; however, on two separate occasions they correctly recognize Sakuya as "The girl who fought [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure DIO]]" in ''WebAnimation/OneMinuteMelee''.
