Added DiffLines:

* ContinuityLockout: Because the series is so long-running and there are ''so many'' videos- they passed a thousand on the main channel alone in September 2012 -many jokes and references can easily be lost on new viewers. Sometimes even John and Hank forget how some things got started.

Incest Subtext is not YMMV, also alphabetizing and commenting out ZCEs


* IncestSubtext: Not usually, but when Hank names his favorite part of John ([[spoiler:his right cheek]]), they mention the fanfiction they may very well have just inspired.
** Jokingly defied when the brothers are doing a joint video, and agree not to end it by saying good-bye, because that would require them turning to each other and staring into each other's eyes.
-->John: Not today, slash fiction writers!
-->Hank: [laughing]: No, not today!
* MemeticMutation: Adding "in my/your pants" to the ends of book titles, an idea originally thought of by Maureen Johnson.

* HilariousInHindsight: In 2013, Hank released his annual Franchise/HarryPotter song- this one was called "Oh, JK Rowling", begging said author to please release another book or project. Barely a day later, and it came out that Rowling in fact ''had'', under the PenName Robert Galbraith.

** Most nerdfighters would agree that Brotherhood 2.0-era Hank was fairly...[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNPoDsxAXBw disturbing]]. (And it's [[SincerityMode not]] because he included footage of earwax.)
** If [[{{Squick}} footage of a goat giving birth]] wasn't disquieting enough, wait until you see the techno remix. You get to see it '''[[NauseaFuel reversed]]'''.
** The ending of Hank's video "Do You Believe In God?", where he alters the sound and visuals so that he looks and sounds '''very demonic''' as he jokingly says that he worships Satan. A JumpScare of sorts.
*** Even worse, demonic Hank is in the video's thumbnail.
** The "Now Hiring at [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Freddy Fazbear's Pizza]]" video from Games with Hank. It recaps Hank's playthrough of ''FNAF'' from Freddy's perspective.

-->'''...and roll around in his blood.'''

* NightmareFuel: Most nerdfighters tend to agree that "Early Hank" (from the original Brotherhood 2.0 project) was fairly...terrifying. See: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNPoDsxAXBw this video]]. (And no, the terror level in that video has ''[[SincerityMode nothing]]'' to do with the fact that Hank included two seconds of footage of earwax.)
** The video where Hank discusses his belief of God has the ending where he pretty much alters the video so he looks and sounds ''very demonic'' as he jokingly says he worships Darkness. Definitely a JumpScare.
*** And if you don't want to see this, too bad, because demonic Hank is in the video's thumbnail.
** Hank's techno remix of footage of a goat giving birth.
