* ChariotPulledByCats: In "Harnessing Our Dogs' Unlimited Energy", Mark and Ethan tried to get their dogs to pull a sled with them on it. Of course, Chica and Henry had no interest in doing so whatsoever.

---> '''Mark:''' "The bears, they come in at like, fourteen, and you're like, ''where did all these bears come from???"''

--->'''Mark''': I don't always know the right way, man. Sometimes you're correct and me trying to correct you is wrong, and I am trying to be better about that.\\
'''Ethan''': Well, thank you. I appreciate it.\\
'''Mark''': [[MoodWhiplash Also, you're a cunt]].

** [[SanitySlippage Getting into a strange “Melon man” personality after failing to crush a melon]] as seen in “Crushing Watermelons Betwixt Our Mighty Thighs”.

** Naming the ship that he and Mark built “USS Engineer Boy Jr.” in “Building the World’s First IKEA Boat”.
* CringeComedy: "Turning Mark Into an E-Boy" had Mark and Ethan gleefully embrace every E-boy cliche during the former's "transformation".
-->'''Mark''': I look like a Creator/TimBurton character!

-->'''Ethan''': He's humble, and he has...he's humble, and...[[RuleOfThree hu-]] ''[[LastSecondWordSwap hung.]]''

-->'''Ethan''': That's such a bad way for Unus to go!\\
'''Mark''': Were they in love? Like, what's the deal?\\
'''Ethan''': I don't ''know''!

-->'''Ethan''': Okay, I have a question. ''I'm'' drinking alcohol. Why are ''you'' the one acting drunk?\\
'''Mark''': ''(in pain)'' Shut... shut the fuck up.

--> "It's time to say goodbye. [[ArcWords Memento mori. Unus Annus.]]"

---> "The end isn't something you need to fear anymore. [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre You're so much stronger than you know.]]"

-->'''Mark''': Be careful not to wrap too tight, or you'll cut off my circulation.\\
'''Ethan''': ''(innocently)'' What is 'circulation'?\\
'''Mark''': ''(groans, coughs)'' ...That question took a year off my life.

* GratuitousLatin: The channel's name, which is Latin for "one year". They also often repeated the phrase "Memento mori", which can be translated as "Remember that you are mortal", "Remember that you will[=/=]must die", or "Remember your death".

--->'''Ethan''': Well, ''(counting the people)'' five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, ''thirty-five'' fatalities on that day!

-->'''Ethan''': Idiots! All of you, idiots! You think that we would stop the clock for one second? No.

-->'''Mark''': ''([[ActuallyPrettyFunny shocked laughter]])'' Well, about that...[[note]]His father died of cancer when he was a teenager.[[/note]]

** "Only UNUS/ANNUS-es May Watch This Video" [[note]] There were two videos released on the same date. [[/note]] was released 169 days till the end of the channel. Within the holes of the six and the nine, the words "DUDE!" and "NICE!" were visible at the beginning of the video, and "BRUH!" and "SWEET!" at the end.

-->'''Mark''': This happens every day, millions of times. The majority of times when things die, they are EatenAlive in nature.\\
'''Ethan''': That's ''horrifying'' to think about!\\
'''Mark''': It really is, isn't it?\\
'''Ethan''': Because, to me, that sounds like one of the most [[CruelAndUnusualDeath gruesome and horrible]] ways to die.\\
'''Mark''': That is biology through-and-through. It's ''always'' been about eating.

-->'''Ethan''': With the quarantine and everything going on, we have just become a conspiracy channel.

--->'''Ethan''': She spit!\\
'''Mark''': She pooped![[note]] Recreation of "Poopsie Sparkly Critters (a slime surprise...)"[[/note]]

-->'''Mark:''' Riddle me this, riddle me that! The tongs are neither here, nor in that!\\

-->'''Mark:''' You could really stop the whole rhyming thing anytime you want to.\\

-->'''Mark''': [[SincerityMode Don't shoot my ass]].\\
'''Ethan''': You said not to aim for your spine!\\
'''Mark''': ''So why did you aim for my ass?!''\\
'''Ethan''': Where else will I go?!\\
'''Mark''': Don't direct-hit my spine! It's, like, ten percent of my back!

** Said word for word in "We Got Pepper Sprayed," although [[ZigZaggedTrope the clip was a disclaimer that happened after the experience.]]

--->'''Mark''': This gonna be a fun year.\\
'''Ethan''' (staring into space): Yeah...

'''Ethan''': Meddling with time has severe consequences, Mark.\\

-> ''...tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... tick... [[PermanentlyMissableContent tick]].''

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: In "2 Men 200 Accents", Mark and Ethan practiced an Irish accent and called LetsPlay/JackSepticEye after a little practice. When Ethan asked what part of Ireland he was from with his voice, Jack said "God fucking knows at this point!" Marks invoked this for most of the video, getting stuck between Scottish and French during the call.

* AndIMustScream: Discussed in "Preserving Ourselves in Wax". When Mark's lips were covered in wax, [[LetsPlay/JackSepticeye Sean]] remarked that "this is some, like, horror movie... not letting you scream."

--->'''[[LetsPlay/JackSepticEye Seán:]]''' "[[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent What accent was that supposed to be?]]"

** "The Ultimate Paper Airplane Showdown" told us that "Harrumph" is spelled "Tak".

* MrFanservice: Neither of the boys were shy about taking their shirts off in the post-quarantine videos. Whether it was out of a need for release or Mark was just proud of his new physique is anyone's guess. LetsPlay/JackSepticEye also got a shirtless scene in ''Preserving Ourselves in Wax'', showing his [[CarpetOfVirility hairy chest]].

* BrokeTheRatingScale: In "Wikifeet: A Tale of 2 Tootsies", Mark found out that his feet are rated 5.48 on a five-star scale. They later found that LetsPlay/JackSepticEye has a rating of 5.36 and Arin of WebVideo/GameGrumps has a 5.33.

* IAmNotPretty: In "Ethan Redefines Male Beauty", Ethan's pre-makeover self was jokingly described as "horrifically ugly," and he showed a lack of confidence in his looks. Additionally, the two joked around about his "Santa belly" in "Mark and Ethan Get a Full Body Scan to See What Secrets Lay Hidden Within". This was despite him having a thin physique and being a conventionally good-looking {{Bishonen}}.

* ParentalAbuse: During "Mark and Ethan Are Now Fathers", they had to take care of two realistic baby dolls for 24 hours. While Mark acted like a good father to his doll, Ethan was... [[{{Understatement}} a lot more carefree with his doll]]. He did things like having it sleep face down, dropping the baby, carrying it by its arm, shaking it...
