* '''Professor Otaku''', who produces the review series "Anime Dissection" and "OVA 101."

* AllMenArePerverts: Prof, Arkada, Mal and Hitch are all pretty perverted and none of them are very good at keeping it {{covert|Pervert}} (although they ''do'' try to keep it tasteful).

** Arkada's review for ''[[VisualNovel/PhantomOfInferno Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~]]'' just had to go into the BeeTrain wreck pun.

* BrickJoke: In Prof's ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' review, he said "What next? Do I watch ''Anime/{{Pretear}}''? How about ''FushigiYuugi''? Why not just grow a nice pair of BOOBS while I'm at it?" Half a year later, he's reviewed the first, about to review the second and the third? [[GenderBender Well...]]

* GenderBender: Prof got this at the end of his ''Anime/{{Pretear}}'' review, lasting until near the end of ''FushigiYuugi''.

* '''Malakye''', who administers the [=DesuDes=] message board and produces the anime news segment called Pocky Spot. He has a cute, Music/{{Vocaloid}}, evil assistant called Tsubake. Now has two of his own review series, "Mal's Monthly Manga" and "Sake Shots".

* BrickJoke: In Prof's ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' review, he said "What next? Do I watch ''{{Pretear}}''? How about ''FushigiYuugi''? Why not just grow a nice pair of BOOBS while I'm at it?" Half a year later, he's reviewed the first, about to review the second and the third? [[GenderBender Well...]]

* GenderBender: Prof got this at the end of his ''{{Pretear}}'' review, lasting until near the end of ''FushigiYuugi''.

** They do this again at the beginning of Prof's review of ''{{Pretear}}'', much to Prof's annoyance.

* LostForever: As of August 2012, Vixen's reviews have all been removed from the site, because [[RealLifeWritesThePlot she was worried about future employers or coworkers finding them and the contents of said reviews impacting badly upon her.]]

*** When he found out that the {{Badass}} ActionHero of ''Vampire Wars'' was named Cookie, well... he [[StealthPun snapped.]]

* TheFaceless: Until recently, Mal was the only member who had never showed his face, instead opting to use an animated avatar wearing a mask similar to that of Zero from ''CodeGeass''.

* ShoutOut: In Vixen's Film Fox review of ''{{Enchanted}}'', the text across the bottom of the screen when the homeless guy steals Giselle's tiara is [[WebVideo/BumReviews "THIS IS THE GREATEST TIARA I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!"]]

** Arkada's review for ''[[PhantomOfInferno Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~]]'' just had to go into the BeeTrain wreck pun.

** Something Vixen desperately wanted after reviewing the {{OVA}}s ''PapaToKissInTheDark'' and ''Boku np Pico''.

* RuleSixtyThree: Vixen [[InvokedTrope mentions this]] after encountering a male version of herself in her review of {{Vandread}}. Also invoked with Profette.

* OfCorsetsSexy: Vixen is rather fond of corsets, including her "trademark" white corset, which she first wore in her review of ''YuYuHakusho'' for the hell of it, and is shown wearing in the intro sequence to her reviews.

* HoldYourHippogriffs: After making a Harpies[[note]]herpes[[/note]] commercial voiceover, Prof quips in his review of ''WesternAnimation/WonderWoman'' that he's going straight to the underworld for that one.

** AllWomenAreLustful: Vixen, JO, Tsubake, Kagami and Rabbit aren't exactly innocent themselves, [[HypocriticalHumor no matter how much they lambaste the boys for it]].

* BreakupBreakout: Deconstructed. Rather than WebVideo/JesuOtaku leaving the brigade after joining up with Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, she still tried to be a loyal brigadier, and her newfound popularity did in fact bring in more viewers to the Brigade's site; however, her indecisiveness coupled with her [[AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder ADCD]] caused her to grow increasingly distant from the Brigade, unofficially breaking off from it about a year from its official disbandment.

* CaramelldansenVid: Complete with Vixen's GainaxBounce, JO [[BareYourMidriff Baring Her Midriff]], and Arkada [[HollywoodToneDeaf singing]]. (Link?)
* CatFight: Between JO and Vix.

** [=JesuOtaku=]'s subtitled reaction to [[VisualNovel/{{AIR}} Potato]], pretty much. Less than a year later, [[HilariousInHindsight her sister got a rather similar looking puppy.]]

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: [=JesuOtaku=] has this dynamic with Vixen, full stop.

* '''WebVideo/JesuOtaku''', who produces a review segment simply entitled "The [=JesuOtaku=] Anime Review". She is much more analytical than the other reviewers, using a four-star rating system. She tries to be objective and may give high scores to shows that she doesn't personally like. She also produced her "summer project", an audio drama adaptation of Manga/FruitsBasket, every Wednesday throughout summer 2011.

* HoldYourHippogriffs: After making a Harpies[[note]]herpes[[/note]] commercial voiceover, Prof quips in his review of ''Film/WonderWoman'' that he's going straight to the underworld for that one.

** Prof has a mean right hook. Just ask Vixen, as shown in the 'Quick Hits [=ACen=]' video, in which he systematically sucker-punched the rest of the Brigade. In his defense, Ark was singing the theme to ''SgtFrog'' at the time, but kicking JO through the door was unmerited.

* CouldSayItBut: Professor Otaku delves into great detail as to what colourful metaphor he ''would'' say about the English dub of ''{{Record of Lodoss War}}'' but states that he's above that.

* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: ''OkaneGaNai'' had Vixen laughing hysterically, for reasons best left un-analyzed.
** To be fair, though, she was laughing less at the rape itself and more at the scene's [[{{Narm}} melodrama]].

* '''Malakye''', who administers the [=DesuDes=] message board and produces the anime news segment called Pocky Spot. He has a cute, {{Vocaloid}}, evil assistant called Tsubake. Now has two of his own review series, "Mal's Monthly Manga" and "Sake Shots".

* DrinkingGame: Vixen did one in-universe for her reviews of ''RomeoXJuliet'' and ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.

* CutenessProximity: [=JesuOtaku=]'s subtitled reaction to [[VisualNovel/{{AIR}} Potato]], pretty much. Less than a year later, [[HilariousInHindsight her sister got a rather similar looking puppy.]]
** Ark's reaction to [[BunnyDrop Rin]], despite claiming he didn't like kids.

** While introducing the review for ''NowAndThenHereAndThere'', [=JesuOtaku=] gets into a fight with the Red Snark Titles.

* '''Vixen''', who produces the "Kit-Suki" review series. Her review style is very informal, and quite [[RedOniBlueOni opposite to her fellow reviewer]] WebVideo/JesuOtaku. In addition to reviewing anime, she sometimes reviews Western films (most of them {{Disney}}) in her "Film Fox" review series.

** See also Prof's love of ''SuperGals'' and ''AngelicLayer''.

*** He still hasn't forgiven KyotoAnimation for [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya "Endless Eight"]].

* BilingualBonus: Vixen did her review of ''LePortraitDePetiteCossette'' entirely in French.

** Something Vixen desperately wanted after reviewing the {{OVA}}s ''PapaToKissInTheDark'' and ''BokuNoPico''.

** For Professor Otaku: ''MDGeist'', bad girly shows and just about anything made by Kaishaku.

** Professor Otaku would have liked it after reviewing ''KekkoKamen''.
