41
42	!!Their Let's Play videos have provided examples of:
43	[[foldercontrol]]
44
45	[[folder:General]]
46	* AnvilOnHead: Starting with the A Link to the Past Race, an anvil is dropped on a member's screen when another member takes the lead.
47	* BattleCouple: If Gilshanks and Fiery are on the same team, they qualify as this.
48	* ButtMonkey: If Gilshanks ever insults someone, it's probably Fiery.
49	** Kora towards Part 8 of the Super Mario World race.
50	* FirstNameBasis: Originally averted, but later played straight starting in the later parts of Super Mario World. Later, subverted when they start referring to each other by their screen names again. Now played 50/50 with both first names and screen names being used.
51	* LargeHam: '''MAAAAAGE CAPTAIN GILSHANKS!'''
52	* NoIndoorVoice: Fiery is the most guilty of this in the Super Mario World race. It was so bad that she apologized for it and vowed to take it down a notch in later videos.
53	** Gilshanks in episode 5 of A Link To the Past, and to a slightly lesser extent, episode 8 of Super Mario World.
54	* RunningGag: Starting in Super Mario World, Fiery is apparently Gilshanks' mother, which becomes weird when the two started dating in real life.
55	** Korafoya is actually the [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Avatar]] neglecting his duties.
56	* ScreenShake: Done to a member's screen when they rage during a race.
57	* ShoutOut: All four members have a habit of referencing [[LetsPlay/{{Versus}} Josh Jepson and AttackingTucans's own race Let's Plays.]]
58	* ThatsWhatSheSaid: When dealing with a group of 3 guys and 1 girl, it's bound to happen. Gilshanks rarely passes up an opportunity to point an instance out.
59	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Fiery's the only girl in the group.
60	[[/folder]]
61
62	[[folder:Super Mario World]]
63	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Fiery's response to Gilshanks' suggesting that they clone her and make her race a game agianst herself. They wouldn't even finish the race due to constant rage against each other.
64	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In-universe about an actual member in Part 7. Fiery apparently gave birth to three Arnold Schwarzeneggers, who are also Gilshanks, Kora, and Chaos.
65	* AndThatsTerrible: Gilshanks claims that he will eat a cat if it bothers him in Part 5. While Kora says he could see Gilshanks doing that, Chaos just laughs and says, "That's horrible."
66	* {{Angrish}}: Chaos has a habit of doing this throughout the race.
67	* BerserkButton: Because Gilshanks is watching his gameplay through his capture card, he rages anytime his screensaver comes on his computer during Part 1.
68	* ButtMonkey: Kora is this in Part 8.
69	* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Discussed by Fiery in episode 1 of Super Mario World, when she thought she could spin jump by [[VideoGame/{{NewSuperMarioBrosWii}} shaking]] [[VideoGame/{{NewSuperMarioBrosU}} the controller]]
70	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Chaos mentions "cock" in Part 5. Gilshanks then says, "[[{{InsistentTerminology}} Loshi]], you're too slippery," and Fiery also says that he is slippery. Chaos' response: Um...
71	* TheDrunkenSailor: Not so much a sailor as the ship itself thanks to Chaos' hearing in Part 7.
72	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Gilshanks mentions how hard he finds unlocking Soda Lake to be in Part 3. You can't even imagine how hard of a time he has with [[{{ThatOneLevel}} the level where you unlock it.]]
73	** Lampshaded with an achievement in-episode.
74	* IHatePastMe: This is almost the entirety of Part 6, where their commentary is post-commentated.
75	* LaserGuidedKarma: Kora is just so ecstatic that he has a Blue Yoshi in Part 8... aaaaaaaand it's gone.
76	* MadeInCountryX: According to Chaos in Part 8, Banzai Bills are made in America.
77	* MondegreenGag: Chaos tells Gilshanks to, "Take a rest" and calm himself down in Part 8. Kora hears this as, "Take a breast."
78	* NauseaFuel: Gilshanks considers "sucking shit" to this in-universe in the Finale.
79	* OverlyLongGag: Kora's "AHNOLD" voice in Part 7. He does it for over SEVEN minutes.
80	* PerfectlyCromulentWord: Chaos gives us "multi-doucheical" in Part 3, apparently describing something that exhibits multiple forms of douchebaggery.
81	* RunningGag: Gilshanks (and later Kora and Chaos) using his "AHNOLD" voice, especially used in Part 5 and the beginning of Part 7.
82	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Most of the time done by Chaos during the race.
83	** Played straight when Gilshanks and Chaos called Fiery out on it.
84	* TemptingFate: Done by Gilshanks in Part 2. He says he's, "amazed he still has his cape." He then loses it eight seconds later.
85	* ThatOneLevel: Gilshanks considers Valley Ghost House's secret exit to be his in-universe.
86	* WithLyrics: Chaos does this to the Castle/Fortress Theme in Part 5.
87	* WordSaladLyrics: Gilshanks attempted to sing "Chocolate Rain" in Part 7. Everything didn't go as expected.
88	* YesNoAnswerInterpretation: Done in Part 2 with Loshi.
89	-->'''Fiery:''' Gilshanks, I could totally take that somewhere.\
90	* beat*\
91	'''Fiery:''' Loshi: a new brand! Get yours today!\
92	'''Kora:''' Are we gonna, like, market Loshis now?\
93	'''Fiery:''' GODDAMMIT!\
94	'''Kora:''' I think that's a yes.
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:Megaman X2]]
98	* AccidentalPun: In Part 2, Chaos says that he took Gilshanks' skill of the game. Gilshanks says, "You ''robbed'' me of it."
99	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In-universe, Chaos and Gilshanks agree that Wire Sponge is apparently not a sponge, but more of a watermelon or cucumber... or [[{{BreadEggsBreadedEggs}} both]].
100	* CallBack: Loshi is referenced in an achievement in Part 1 after Kora's vehicle is destroyed.
101	* ClassClown: Kora can't imagine how Chaos' children would be like in Part 1. Chaos speculates that there would be nothing but [[{{LampshadeHanging}} complete gibberish]].
102	* DudeNotFunny: In-universe, pretty much the reaction to Kora making reference of Alzheimer's in the Finale.
103	* EveryoneHasStandards: Gilshanks and Kora, who all shout expletives and roll off swears like it's nothing, all find Chaos describing Wire Sponge as a "dildo-fuck" to be going too far.
104	* FindOutNextTime: At the end of Part 1, Gilshanks humorously leaves us with "Thank you guys for watching! Be sure to watch the next one, too!" cue laughing
105	* HypocriticalHumor: Gilshanks tells Kora in Part 2 that, "It's just a game, dude. Calm down," after Gilshanks spent much of the previous part yelling at the game.
106	** Lampshaded by Fiery when she said, "Says you. Gilshanks, I don't even want to hear that bullshit come out of your mouth."
107	* MoodWhiplash: These lines concerning kittens in Part 2, which is immediately lampshaded by Chaos.
108	-->'''Fiery''': Don't be mean to the kitty, or I will come to your house, and I will hurt you.\
109	'''Gilshanks''': Don't be mean to the kitty, or I will '''FUCK YOU UP IN YOUR NIGHTMARES.'''
110	* TakeThat: In Part 1, Gilshanks compares the beetle enemies in Flame Stag's stage to New Jersey driver, 'cause they're both in the way.

113	[[folder:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]

122
123	[[folder:1v1 Super Mario Sunshine]]
124	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: In-universe in Part 2, Gilshanks says that Petey Piranha is actually just lonely. Fiery suggests that they create [[DistaffCounterpart Patricia Piranha]] for him, complete with [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics pigtails and bows.]]
125	* BigWhat: Gilshanks' reaction after hearing Fiery attempting to explain how FLUDD reproduces in Part 1.
126	* NWordPrivileges: Claimed by Gilshanks when he insults the Italians in Part 4.
127	--> '''Gilshanks''': What the fuck are you doing, Mario? Jesus, though.\
128	'''Fiery''': (In stereotypical New York accent) What are ya doin', uh?\
129	'''Gilshanks''': Fucking Italian prick.\
130	'''Fiery''': Oh oh, coming from the Italian himself.\
131	'''Gilshanks''': [[LampshadeHanging That's why I can say it.]]
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Mario Kart Wii Tournament]]
135	* ThirdPersonPerson: Gilshanks starts to go into this during the first race, but justifies that its because he is acting as the narrator.

144	* AchievementsInIgnorance: Gilshanks believes that every stupid thing Chaos does during a race actually ends up helping him win it.
145	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In-universe, Gilshanks believes that all Nintendo protagonists are "actually sadistic assholes."
146	* {{Angrish}}: When [[spoiler: Chaos dies a second time on Dyna Blade,]] he rages in an unintelligible speech that sounds like a combination of crying and screaming.
147	* TheBusCameBack: Reinstated as the fourth race at the beginning of June and kicked off with Spring Breeze.
148	* DemocracyIsBad: Gilshanks prefers the [=EC4=] to be an Anarcho-Commiunism.
