Some of their older, better known works are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhcA4Ry65FU Mother's Day]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtEp5yc-g3A Auto Insurance]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiXhQUym0fA Flag Makeover]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fad6eZTDikA Douche Off]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvltzwkUEEA Mantage]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5rF_X-8LiI Jesus Pwned U]]. There are also some short series, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAXwaqbRol4 Ad Guys]].

9	!!Tropes:
10	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTB_fVCylhY&feature=relmfu Mattress Sale]]: "Cause Monday I go to prison for tax evasion, and child pornography, and Jaywalking."
11	** Also a recurring gag in "the Mantage" where 'cuddling a kitten' is inexplicably added to the list of manly activities.
12	** Most of the insults used to trigger the "Nazi sympathizer" in "Boston Jury Duty" are made of this. Such insults include "Carl Yastrzemski ran like a woman. Tom Brady listens to Abba. You ever notice how the state of Massachusetts looks like a forearm with a limp wrist at the end of it? Larry Byrd...'''sucks.'''"
13	* AscendedMeme: Getting ''[[Creator/TonyDanza The]]'' TheDanza to sing along with "''Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza''"
14	* BadBadActing: Parodied with the bullets in "Overacting Bullets" to great comedic effect.
15	* BerserkButton: Invoked purposely with the Boston fans in "Boston Jury Duty."
16	* BigNo: In "April Fool's".
17	* BlackComedyRape: Implied in "You Call That a Shot?"
18	* {{Calvinball}}: "Mousemate".
19	** And now, "Foodball".
20	* CaptainObvious: From "Rulebreakers": "We're the Smiths, because that's our last name!"
21	* CloudCuckooLander: Barats and Bereta both, depending on what character they're playing. Barats ''especially'' in the "Lolcats" video.
22	* ClusterFBomb: The Boston fans in "Boston Jury Duty."
23	* CharacterBlog: After Barats' "fight" with Bereta, he actually did make a Youtube channel called [[https://www.youtube.com/profile?user=baratsandnobodyelse&annotation_id=annotation_528441&feature=iv BaratsAndNobodyElse]].
24	* ComedicSociopath: Both guys in "Foodball" for stomping on the banana that could have fed a homeless man.
25	* ConstructionCatcalls: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DViogbPTH4 This sketch teaches you how to do it right.]]
26	* DoubleEntendre: "Great Pick Up Lines in American History", "Great Pick Up Lines in Sports", "Great Pick Up Lines in the Bible" and "Great Pick Up Lines in Science" have more than a few of them.
27	* ExcitedKidsShowHost: Parodied in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHNrQDmP2_Y Yes Kidz Can]].
28	* EscalatingWar: Used in videos like "Cubicle War" and "April Fools".
29	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Luke has a "hetero Man Crush" on David Hasselhoff (Then again, who doesn't?) while Joe has a [[HoYay strange fondness]] for Mark Spitz (in a speedo).
30	* UsefulNotes/FranklinPierce: Who? That guy in the "Great Pick-up Lines in History" short?
31	* GlassesPull: The defense attorney in "Boston Jury Duty."
32	-->"...[[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] the Yankees."
33	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Luke Barats and Joe Bereta should be the WebOriginal posterboys for this trope. Their characters are often examples of this as well.
34	* HilariousOuttakes: There's one at the end of "Rulebreakers" where Barats tries to continue being electrocuted but ends up breaking down laughing from the sheer silliness of his [[BadBadActing acting]].
35	* HypnoFool: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UfZNbLOkRA "Hypnosis,"]] in which the two have hypnotized each other. Towards the end, [[TriggerPhrase they accidentally trigger each other]].
36	* JerkAss: Mr. Wentworth. (And maybe Jesus, but he's more like CrazyIsCool.)
37	** Also, Luke and Joe from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fad6eZTDikA Douche Off]] compete to see who is the bigger one of this trope. It is as epic as it sounds.
38	* LargeHam: Both Luke and Joe try to out-ham each other in every video. Special mention goes to "Ad Guys" and "Cubicle Wars" for making a plot out of the one-upping antics.
39	* LongLastingLastWords: In the video parodying death tropes, the "bad acting bullets" causes several cases of drawn out deaths.
40	* MoodWhiplash: When one of the kids gets a seizure in "Yes Kidz Kan".
41	-->No. Leave him. ''He is not a Kid Kadet''.
42	* PrecisionFStrike: In "Mousemate" and "Ad Guys".
43	* RapidFireComedy: Be careful or you'll miss something good.
44	* RatedMForManly: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvltzwkUEEA Mantage]], obviously.
45	* SitcomArchNemesis: Milkman and Mailman.
46	* TakeThat: In "2012", the time traveling pair accidentally destroy the only copy of ''Indiana Jones 4'', which is one in a chain of events that ''prevents the apocalypse.''
47	** "F U!" is a video composed of three people flipping off annoying people in the most amazingly over-the-top fashions possible. The first person lets his dog shit in a guy's yard right next to his paper, the second person, a girl, blows a kiss to someone's boyfriend while the girlfriend is walking right next to him, and the third guy drank all his roommate's beers. It must be seen to be truly appreciated.
48	** "Boston Jury Duty" is one big TakeThat at the New York Yankees. It's a slow burn, but the pay off is so worth it.
49	** "Hypnosis" ends with one to Music/JustinBieber.
