1* The FreezeFrameBonus in his ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' Diamond Armor theory, after he talks about crystals having four planes of cleavage and says "we're not talking about the Creator/PamelaAnderson Bermuda Triangle brand of cleavage here," two "editor's notes" briefly appear on screen, the first saying "Wait!? We're not?" and the second saying:
2--> Matt, I just spent, like, 25 minutes Photoshopping Music/KatyPerry's pom-poms onto crystalline solids and you're telling me we aren't even talking about ta-tas?
3--> My roommate walked in on me! Imagine having THAT conversation...
4* At the beginning of his "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjnPyGFYKrI Humans are Pokémon]]" video, [=MatPat=] gets frustrated and that the Wheel of Gaming keeps stopping on ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. This gag continues through the opening credits.
5** Similarly, [=TheJWittz=]'s ensuing rant on his entire channel being Pokémon. The two then decide to so something so crazy that nobody wants them to talk about Pokémon anymore (followed by [=MatPat=] [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the ridiculous opening).
6* From his "Mario is a communist" video: "And what are two things Wario is known for?" "[[SelfDeprecation he's]] [[NeverLiveItDown ten feet tall.]]" "Shut up!"
7* [=MatPat=]'s repeated {{Freudian Slip}}s where he messes up "Kremcroc" for "Kremcoc" in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2ZmnE0KV6g Donkey Kong Country]] video.
8** And when he gets it right: "Achievement Unlocked: Blocked The Cock!""
9* [=MatPat=] has a good long rant at Scott Cawthon when he makes a tiled wall contain a key pad.
10** Also in the third installment of his FNAF series he claims that this'll be the definitive theory of FNAF with no loose ends and no contradictions. ''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 Precisely ONE DAY later...]]''
11** At the end of Part 2:
12-->... and that is the end of the Five Nights at Freddy's story. No hat, [[TemptingFate no movie, no fourth installment.]] ''(cuts to Mat being huddled in disbelief when he sees the FNAF 4 announcement)''
13* Mat has taken to pasting cartoony fez hats onto images that cannot be used without their use being deemed a transformative work.
14* Mat's [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction]] to trying to find Chun-Li's weight, only to find it's secret. Despite literally everything else being listed somewhere.
15** After saying the old Poh-tay-to/Poh-tah-to line, he suddenly stops the whole video to wonder who the hell actually pronounces it "poh-tah-to". ''He then made a poll to find out what percentage of people (if any) actually say "poh-tah-to".''
16* The Toys/{{Amiibo}} episode has Mat seemingly drawing the conclusion that Nintendo is seemingly screwing people over just to get cheap publicity ...... before casually reminding us it's [[HonestCorporateExecutive Nintendo]] and it would never happen.
17* The beginning of the episode talking about the Fine Bros. incident has a reaction of a reaction of the inception Top alongside a reaction of a reaction of a FNAF Theory... Even the video starts getting confused by this near the end.
18--->Is this still a reaction video?
19* From "Why I Gave the Pope UNDERTALE", Matpat's DearNegativeReader regarding the "Sans is Ness" episode.
20-->'''[=MatPat=]:''' I liked the "Sans is Ness" episode ''a lot''. "That's the one where Game Theory jumped the shar-" ''No, it isn't!'' No, it isn't! Whether you agree with the conclusion, you have to admit: there's a lot of evidence there that just lines up really nicely.
21* When he sees that total amount of time watching all ''Franchise/StarTrek'' media clocks at ''over 500 hours'', [=MatPat=] laments at how the ''Franchise/StarWars'' fans got off lucky with only having to watch seven films. Then he plays the clip of [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Jake Lloyd]] [[DullSurprise asking what midichlorians are]], back tracks, and laments at how ''Star Wars'' fans got off lucky with only having to watch ''four'' films.
22* On the bottle-flipping stream, [=MatPat=] expresses hope that [=GTLive=] will pass one million subscribers during the stream. He doesn't even get to finish explaining why he's excited or what his plans are for celebrating it before Jason announces that the subscribers passed that mark.
23* [=MatPat=]'s reactions to the shitty puns of ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'':
24** "I can make cold puns, too, Arnie!"
25-->'''Mr. Freeze''': Very niiIIIIIIICEEEeeeeeee...
26-->'''[=MatPat=]''': But alas. Just because I can, doesn't mean I should.
27** "My vines have a ''crush'' on you!"
28-->'''[[Series/TheOfficeUS Michael Scott]]''': NOOO!!!
29-->''[Batman takes out the Bat Credit Card]''
30-->'''Michael Scott''': NO GOD PLEASE NO!!!
31* In "Nintendo's Secret Plan for Nintendo Switch" he reads out potential criticism of the episode. After he reads out first sentence, he realizes that his voice became deep, kind of sensual and raspy. He then proceeds to read it in a sensual manner while romantic music plays in the background.
32* [=MatPat=] openly admits to JumpingTheShark in one of his theories on Deadpool.
33* Stephanie impersonating Nugget from ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten|2017}}'', especially for the entry ''Can Chicken Nuggets SAVE YOUR LIFE?!''
34** In his Duck Season video, Nugget (again voiced by Stephanie) calls [=MatPat=] a dumb-dumb and throws two Dum-Dum lollipops at his face.
35* During their playthrough of ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' Chapter 3, [=MatPat=] encounters the poster for the Butcher Gang. Stephanie says that she gets a feeling that they will get familiar with the gang soon... right as one of them [[JumpScare bursts]] ''[[JumpScare through]]'' [[JumpScare the poster]], scaring both of them.
36* His ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' video has him determining that Monika is actually [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Flowey]] who happens to be [[VideoGame/{{Mother}} Porky]] who ''also'' happens to be [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys Purple Gu-]]
37-->''[[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties *TV Bars*]]''
38-->'''[=MatPat=]:''' Sorry, the rest of the theory team just pulled me aside for a quick intervention. Apparently, I'm banned from making any links between this game and ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''. Or any game and ''Undertale''. R-Really I'm not allowed to touch ''Undertale'' anymore.
39** Their playthrough is also full of funny moments. Of note is Matt not only [[CrossDressingVoices voicing]] Natsuki, but giving her a burly, tough-sounding voice, which makes her cute moments all the more hilarious.
40* All of [[Creator/DanHarmon Dan Harmon's]] moments in the [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Pickle Rick]] episode of Film Theory:
41** When he says that Pickle Rick isn't based in science:
42--->'''[=MatPat=]:''' I don't want to be the "But, actually" guy, but um...actually.\
43'''Dan Harmon:''' The existence of this channel tells me that's not true.
44** When [=MatPat=] references a study about making cockroaches move by shocking them with electricity:
45--->'''Dan Harmon:''' Holy crap! There are people who hook cockroaches up to a battery and shock them? For a salary? I am in the wrong line of work.
46* In the intro for the Bob-omb episode, he replicated the old Bullet Bill theory intro with the Bob-omb, but remembering how that was, he realizes that it won’t hurt him. [[WrongGenreSavvy It blows up and kills him immediately.]]
47* [[https://youtu.be/_pJegu1P_yE The Most IMPORTANT Video I've Ever Made (NOT CLICKBAIT)]] has [=MatPat=] announce that [[spoiler:he and Steph are having a baby by reading their own version of Platform/{{Yahoo}} Answers post titles]]. And Creator/ScottCawthon commented, [[spoiler:"I hear the baby name [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Freddy]] is trending! ;) (Seriously though, congratulations!)"]]
48* The theory on the mysterious Peter W. in ''Film/Deadpool2'' at first offers the theory that he's actually Peter Wisdom from ComicBook/XForce, before [=MatPat=] soon realizes another possibility that may be afoot... [[spoiler:[[OccamsRazor In that Peter will just turn out to be a nobody]] [[AntiClimax as a joke]] [[TrollingCreator on hardcore comic fans.]]]]
49* In the theory on ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017'', he takes a quick moment to go through the Emperor's wookieepedia article... and breaks into laughter when he realizes Palps' first name is ''[[EmbarrassingFirstName Sheev]]''. He later shows a gravestone saying "Sheev [[MemeticMutation "The Senate"]] Palpatine."
50* [=MatPat=]'s choice of words from the [=GTLive=] playthrough of ''VideoGame/BaldisBasicsInEducationAndLearning''
51-->"You're '''''EXCREMENT!'''''"
52* Also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, [=MatPat=] correctly stating the [[EleventyZillion absurdly huge number of possible match-ups]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.
53-->'''[=MatPat=]:''' Oh lord, [[LampshadeHanging what IS this?!]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck OK, OK...]] (sigh) [[OverlyLongGag One sedecillion, eighty seven quindecillion, twenty nine quattuordecillion, six hundred and twenty one tredecillion, eight hundred and sixty seven duodecillion, nine hundred and twenty nine undecillion, five hundred and thirty four decillion, seven hundred and nineteen nonillion, three hundred and fifty six octillion, two hundred and twenty eight septillion, three hundred and sixteen sextillion, six hundred and ninety two quintillion, four hundred and eighty quadrillion possible matches.]]
54* During a nine hour live stream for charity, Matt and Stephanie had Rosanna Pansino on and had her play Five Nights at Freddy's VR. Needless to say, her reactions (as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgQwqynd8j8 here]]) were hilarious and adorable.
55* During the ''World of Light'' video, he calls Dharkon a ''[[https://youtu.be/IRvNrMk-n6o?t=167 hentai eyeball monster]]''.
56* During one of his Livestreams, Matt, along with Stephanie, reacts to his old Game Theory videos. What does he use for the ColdOpen on the uploaded highlight video? His "Best boobs in gaming" video. His expression quickly becomes that of abject [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horror]].
57* In his "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDhGnub97h4 Who will survive the [CENSORED] Virus?]]" video, he briefly remarks on the possibility that Princess Peach has facial hair but shaves it off regularly, while [[GirlsWithMustaches editing an image of her to give her a blonde goatee]].
58* Dan's cameo in the "[[https://youtu.be/Dn1OBI8v5r4?t=1549 Game theory... what happened to you?]]" video. Him refusing to plaster his face across the internet is used as an excuse by [=MatPat=] to make him look like he's in Witness Protection, and then there's his horror at Rule34 art of Chica:
59-->'''Witness Protection Dan:''' (''aghast'') How can you do those things to a ''video game chicken?!''
60* In his video about the new 'Warden' mob in Minecraft:
61** First, the shameless 'like and subscribe' segway.
62** Towards the end, [[WebVideo/GeorgeNotFound George]] and LetsPlay/{{Sapnap}} chase WebVideo/{{Dream}} like in Dream's Manhunt series, and Sapnap remarks, "Wait, are we on Game Theory?"
63* During the fourth [=GTLive=] stream of ''Five Nights at Candy's 3'', [=MatPat=] repeatedly skewers Monster Vinnie's dramatic speech ([[MakesSenseInContext actually the protagonist Mary's guilt-induced nightmare]]) by pointing out that what Mary allegedly "took away" from Vinnie was a minimum-wage job at a restaurant for children.
64* [=MatPat=]'s obsession with [[NoIndoorVoice MUSIC]] [[IKnewIt MAAAN!!!]]
65** AscendedMeme as of his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfgKdbdVt1I Is Golden Freddy in]] ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'' video, which opens with essentially a Sparta Remix of the clip.
66* In the second part of the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'' stream, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bMMShPWMp4&t=1505s Matt and Stephanie aren't remotely threatened]] by Sun's FreakOut, and Stephanie in particular reacts with increasing mock-drama until he falls over... and then Moon crawls back up, and both are utterly spooked.
67-->'''[[SarcasmMode Stephanie]]:''' ''Ho-lee'' Bazongas!
68-->'''Moon:''' ''Naughty boy.''
69-->'''Matt:''' ''[[MirthlessLaughter Oh, no.]]''
70-->'''[[SincerityMode Stephanie]]:''' ''{{Gasp}}''
71-->'''Moon:''' Naughty boy.
72-->'''Stephanie:''' ''[[OhCrap OH, NO.]]''
73-->'''Matt:''' ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, no, this is not okay.]]''
74-->'''Moon:''' ''It's past your bedtime.''
75-->'''Matt:''' ''[[BringMyBrownPants I'm gonna pee my pants, I think]].''
76-->'''Moon:''' ''You must be punished.''
77-->'''Stephanie:''' ''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]''
78* In a prime example of Mat [[SelfDeprecation taking the piss out of himself]], the opening skit for the theory on ''VideoGame/PowerWashSimulator'' plays a clip from one of WebVideo/{{Markiplier}}'s runs of the game asking Mat for the "lore" on the game, with Mat [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling answering the summons]], complete with angel wings... ''out of a {{toilet|Humor}}''. [[SelfDeprecation A hand then proceeds to flush him down the drain before he can get out.]] You can tell Mat has fully embraced his meme status in regard to his more out-there theories, and is taking the chance to parody it himself.
79* This exchange from the Mountain Dew Pizza episode.
80-->'''Mat:''' Hit me with the cheese Matt!\
81''[[LiteralMinded (Matt throws the cheese at Mat's bemused face)]]''\
82''(Take two)''\
83'''Mat:''' Hit me with the cheese Matt!\
84''(Cheese is thrown way off course and lands on the floor)''\
85'''Mat:''' ''[[{{Corpsing}} (Laughing)]]'' Where is my hand?!\
86''(Take three)''\
87'''Mat:''' Hit me with the cheese Matt! ''(Successfully catches the cheese this time)'' Yeah! [[BlatantLies First time every time!]]
88* The FNF Bob mod episode is styled as a funeral for Matt after being consumed by the black goo, it leads to head-editor Dan reading a eulogy about him which is really a sponser for raycon earbuds, it cuts to Stephanie hysterically crying and asking him to stop which leads to Dan shutting her up and continuing on about the ad.
89-->'''Stephanie:''' Dude I don't think this is the time for that! \
90'''Dan:''' Ah it's fine!
91* For the ''VideoGame/ChooChooCharles'' theory, Head Editor Dan takes over narration, and is immediately groaning at some of the puns [=MatPat=] wrote into the script.
92** He does, however, get very excited when mentioning [[InherentlyFunnyWords bazookas]]!
93* As [=MatPat=]'s retirement came close, he invited all of the new hosts to join him on the couch for an introduction where they all jump up from behind the couch. Immediately, Santi[[note]]the new host for Food Theory[[/note]] falls over as he's getting up. He explains that he was trying to get up with gusto, but he pronounces it "goose-toe" and just rolls with it. Tom[[note]]the new host for Game Theory[[/note]], wasn't present at the time as he lives in England, so Lee[[note]]the new host for Film Theory[[/note]] holds up a football with a picture of Tom's face stapled onto it. Lee then proceeds to talk in an exaggerated British accent and claim the Moon isn't real.
94* During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL6mCZtaHLQ his last FNAF theory]], [=MatPat=] checks in on how the future host, Tom, is doing...and he's currently in a room, [[TheLudovicoTechnique strapped to a chair with his eyes forced open]], listing off various variations of Bonnie as they appear on a screen.
95-->'''Tom:''' Toy Bonnie! Easter Bonnie! Chocolate Bonnie! ''Melted'' Chocolate Bonnie! Withered Bonnie! Black-Heart Bonnie! Rockstar Bonnie! ''Glamrock'' Bonnie! Sunken Toy Bonnie! Bon-Bon! Just [[WebAnimation/TheWaltenFiles Bon]]! System Error Bonnie! Nightmare Bonnie!\
96'''Mat:''' Well done, but how many toes does he have?\
97'''Tom:''' 2? No, 3? 5?\
98(Mat closes the door to the room while Tom's voice is muffled behind it)\
99'''Mat:''' Ah, the first step of [=FNAF=] theorizing: slowly losing your mind.
100* In Mat's Final Theory, he creates multiple endings, some funnier than others.
101** In the Lorekeeper ending, Steph asks what he's gonna do, to which he pays a visit to Scott Cawthon himself. Scott says they have much to discuss, implying it to be more FNAF lore.
102** In the Chaotic Ending, Steph and Mat take a well deserved vacation. Cut to the theorists back in the office going crazy with the entire place in well... chaos.
103** The Meme ending has Mat riding on Music Man, Nyan Cat style.
104** The Insanity Ending has Mat returning to theorizing right as he retired. Steph comes back to find him losing his mind with pictures of FNAF characters scattered everywhere in the studio. Mat declares he was wrong about [[CallBack Gregory and Vanessa being robots]], that [[TomatoInTheMirror he was the robot all along]], and Steph was a robot too.
