* HilariousInHindsight: During a stream of ''Space Marine'', Rich, Jack and Jay talk about Creator/PattonOswalt's cameo in ''Film/SpaceCop'' and joke about how implausible it would be for him to appear on ''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst'', since it would require him to waste a whole day. Years later, Oswalt ''did'' appear in a ''Best of the Worst'' episode. In spite of watching a truly miserable line-up of movies, Oswalt has unofficially said he'd be open to doing it again some time.

* TheScrappy: Jack is this to many viewers, for reasons such as "being bad at games," "being a hipster," and "having a fake, annoying Muppet laugh." His dislike of things like ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' don't do him any favors, either.

* AwesomeMusic: The ending theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kBhbseGOq4 "Do or Die" by Stuart Bogie]].

* OlderThanTheyThink: In 2012, there was an earlier attempt by Red Letter Media at reviewing video games called ''Game Station 2.0'', also featuring Rich. For reasons unknown, ''Game Station'' only lasted four episodes. [[note]] It has been implied on streams that part of it had to do with with Mike or Jay having to edit Game Station 2.0 in addition to their numerous other shows, whereas Jack edits Previously Recorded videos himself. In one of the Jay streams, it was eventually noted that it failed because Rich had nobody to bounce off of,
which is why it was relaunched with two people as Pre Rec, after Jay explained a similar situation with him and Quick Cuts morphing into Re:View.[[/note]]
