* CanadaEh: The all-Canadian team really loves it when any game features Canada as a setting, such as ''VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorldTheGame'' (Toronto),''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'' (Montreal, where the developers are from) or ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' (which begins with the destruction of Vancouver, where the team lives).

-->'''Ben''': "FUCK YOU, Creator/{{FOX NEWS|Channel}}!

* VocalDissonance: Turns up now and then in the Ace Attorney videos. Most prevalent are giving Pearl Fey, a tiny little girl, a baritone, giving Regina, an innocent circus girl, a deep Russian voice, and making Desiree [=DeLite=] sound suspiciously like [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Dr. Girlfriend]].

** Fraser hates the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Transit_Commission_buses TTC]], both in ''[[VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld Scott Pilgrim]]'' and real life.

* AnythingThatMoves:
** Ben frequently plays this up for laughs. He often makes lewd comments at things such as the potentially underaged characters in ''Let's Play Ballerina'', his cat/girl/boy/whatever "fiancee" Nekoevangeline on Minecraft Awesome, inanimate objects and even [[FanficFuel his fellow co-host Fraser]].
** Fraser and the others are also guilty of this from time to time, from the [[RefugeInAudacity corpsefucker joke]] in VideoGame/HeavyRain to gangbanging an NPC in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwordsAdventures Four Swords Adventures]].
** Datura was an especially (and unusually) erotic episode, from Fraser groping a statue of a woman to wanting to slap a pig's ass.

Much of the show’s appeal stems from its casual and laid-back atmosphere. The show is unscripted and intentionally does not focus on hardcore gaming, instead emphasizing fun above all. Many installments are designed to provide the perspective of gamers approaching a game for the first time; to that end, most of the games played are current at the time of the episode's release (though they have occasionally dabbled in retro gaming with titles like ''VideoGame/{{Earthbound}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''), and usually some or all of the cast has not played the game before, allowing for genuine first impressions and reactions.

* AbortedArc: Twice with their Let's Play with Earthbound. First was around 2010, and again in 2013 when Becky was in the cast. The version with Becky lasted for 57 parts with the last one being on December 2013 when the gang just got Poo, with no updates since. It's very unlikely the team would contuine the game after the move to Japan in 2018.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Basically ''any'' time restoring PP or running out of PP is mentioned in ''VideoGame/EarthBound'', the group hear "peepee". [[invoked]]

** Confusing ''StarWars'' with ''Franchise/StarTrek''.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Becky usually goes barefoot.

* LarynxDissonance: Fraser decided to give 8-year old girl [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Pearl Fey]] a BadassBaritone.

* GoldTooth: Fraser brings us his "new rap", ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9IBBbYIiw8 Gold in Mah Teeth]]''. [[labelnote:explanation]] While discussing gold in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAdenyr4d40&t=1m55s here]]), Fraser mentioned how the metal is useless outside of technology and dentistry. "You know, like Hip-hop dentists!" This led him to make up a short parody song about gold teeth. The fans took this and made it into a full song. [[/labelnote]]

* ShesGotLegs: Becky, obviously.
** As Mrs. Claus in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuzNRs4KHG8&list=PLC3C658C8168F298F&index=1&feature=plpp_video Minecraft Christmas build]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE1S5Pwkib4&feature=g-u-u As a sexy nun]] for Hitman Absolution.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: When Frasier sees the lighthouses that act as the doorways to the multiverse in ''Videogame/BioShockInfinite'', he immediately demands to be taken to one with dinosaurs.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Fraser, Becky, Ben, Kyle, Deacon, The Mods, and The Turbos in the Chat Room. Particularly during episodes when Fraser plays with The Mods and Turbo Members online during the show.

** Subverted in one of the LegoCityUndercover episodes where Becky wants to make the exact same joke as above but Fraser refuses, saying that "[[HypocriticalHumor domestic abuse is not a laughing matter]]".

** During the [[VideoGame/LEGOAdaptationGame Lego City: Undercover]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHAZQbhJ2ZA&t=2m14s playthrough]] Becky wore a fake muscle costume to dress up as Rex Fury, which led to this exchange.

* {{Megane}} / {{Meganekko}}: Becky and Ben sometimes wear glasses.

* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Fraser
** TheLancer: Ben
** TheBigGuy: Kyle
** TheSmartGuy: Deacon
** TheChick: Becky

!This show provides examples of:

** Fraser also noted that they made two unrelated ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' references within the same hour playing ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry''.

* NeverLiveItDown: Neither Fraser nor the server mods will forget Ben killing the wolf Ruddadog in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. [[invoked]]
