| 7 | '''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/versus Versus]]''' is a Website/YouTube Let's Play channel. It features a competitive, co-commentary series of Let's Plays of various games, primarily between LetsPlay/JoshJepson and Creator/TylerSederwall (formerly known as [=AttackingTucans=]). The two race through the games, sometimes with specific sub-rules for each game (get all the blue coins in ''Mario Sunshine'', get the Gold Skulltulas in ''Ocarina of Time'', and so on), usually attempting OneHundredPercentCompletion. A heads-up display will keep track of each player's scores and progress as they play together. All the while they play word games, exchange stories, and discuss the finer points of vocabulary and music- with Tyler slipping in off-color jokes and Josh running the gamut of reactions. |

| 9 | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMASSpDAtnU Super Mario Sunshine Versus]] (a.k.a., "Project Stingray") was the first in this series of races, hosted on Tyler's channel before the Versus channel was created. Tyler's channel later hosted a new Versus series, wherein he raced {{LetsPlay/Donnabellez}} through ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', and on Josh's channel, he hosted ''Luigi's Mansion Versus'', which he confirmed via Twitter. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Finally, on February 2, 2013, Tyler and Josh announced their own channel and an official name for their collective versus, "Project Rivals". With this new channel, they also announced its first versus, ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''. Now on this channel, Josh, Tyler, and sometimes a different player will compete to see who can complete games faster, with multiple races going on at once, and the occasional one-off versus for a shorter, quicker game. In 2017, they started doing live Versus races as well[[labelnote:*]]They had done a livestreamed 24-hour race of ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest'' some time prior, but that was long before it became a frequent thing[[/labelnote]], with the streams being moderately edited and uploaded to their channel like any other series; the live status allows for real time viewer interaction at the cost of not being able to practice between episodes. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Viewers are sometimes invited to play along and post their experience on [=YouTube=]. For both the two players and the viewers, segments had to be no longer than a half hour. However, for a few episodes, they went over by a few minutes, and they allowed their viewers to go over as well. The guideline or even existence of community interaction varies with each race. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | On June 9th 2020, Tyler announced that he and Josh would be going separate directions, Josh no longer helping run the Versus series. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Not to be confused with Creator/AchievementHunter's Let's Play series of the same name (which is officially spelled ''VS''), or the film ''Film/{{Versus}}''. |

| 115 | !!!Main Series |
| 116 | |
| 117 | [[folder:General]] |
| 118 | -- |
| 119 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[VitriolicBestBuds Josh and Tyler]] can occasionally have one of these moments, although they're usually [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] a moment later. Case in point: |
| 120 | -->'''Josh''': You're better at [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime this game]] than I am. I will admit that. |
| 121 | -->'''Tyler''': Aw, thank you. That is the nicest thing you've ever said to me. |
| 122 | -->'''Josh''': You're welcome. |
| 123 | -->'''Tyler''': [[RefugeInAudacity Even my vagina's crying.]] |
| 124 | -->'''Josh''': ...I hate you. |
| 125 | * BrickJoke: In ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Luigi's Mansion'' Versus, Tyler makes several references to Slenderman and [[spoiler: caps off Josh's HeroicBSOD game over by making his screen go to static]]. A few weeks earlier he had played ''{{VideoGame/Slender}}'' on his main channel, and had apparently really gotten into Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos during that time. |
| 126 | * CatchPhrase: Tyler says "Oh my goodness gracious" and "Gosh" often. |
| 127 | ** Any use of the AtomicFBomb. |
| 128 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Josh's signature color is green (''Luigi's Mansion'', ''Ocarina of Time'', ''New Super Luigi U''), and Tyler's is orange (''Mario Galaxy'', ''Ocarina of Time'', ''New Super Luigi U''). Though Tyler did have purple in ''Luigi's Mansion'', which was Donna's color in ''Mario Galaxy''. |
| 129 | * CoolBigBro: Jepson sometimes acts like one even though they're only months apart. |
| 130 | * CrossOver: Primarily between LetsPlay/JoshJepson and Creator/TylerSederwall. But there's also ones between Tyler and Donnabellez, Tyler and Lucahjin, Tyler and LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun, Josh and LetsPlay/StephenPlays, and Josh and WebVideo/TheCompletionist. |
| 131 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Often enough, Tyler and Josh realize flaws within their rules in mid-versus, so they have to adjust them on the fly. |
| 132 | * DownToTheLastPlay: Ends up happening frequently, Tyler and Josh will be tied or at least one player will be breathing down the other's neck when the finale begins. It's happened so many times, they've had to address that the series is, in fact, ''not'' staged. |
| 133 | * EvasiveFightThreadEpisode: Double-subverted. Ties in with the above trope. Throughout most versus, one player has the edge over the other by a noticeable margin, but by the home stretch, they get close enough that either one of them can win in the end. |
| 134 | * VerbalTic: Josh says "Let's be honest" a LOT. Tyler is somewhat guilty of this as well. |
| 135 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Josh and Tyler constantly insult each other and express hope that the other fails to help them win, but its obvious neither of them are taking any of the barbs seriously, and when the conversation [[SeinfeldianConversation wanders to miscellaneous topics away from the current contest]] they sound just like two best friends having a chat. |
| 136 | [[/folder]] |
| 137 | |
| 138 | [[folder:Super Mario Sunshine Versus]] |
| 139 | * AccidentalMisnaming: In episode 5 part 2, Josh mentions how a lot of people on his comments call him "John". Of course Tyler starts calling him that as well. |
| 140 | * AGodAmI: Josh jokingly states that he and Tyler are gods for finishing a 100% file each in 22 videos without being able to practice or start over. |
| 141 | * AGoodNameForARockBand: The Throbbing Masses. |
| 142 | * AssShove: In Tyler's story, Josh puts dandelions there. |
| 143 | * AtomicFBomb: Josh lets one out in episode 4 when, after getting all 8 red coins in the Blooper Surfing Safari, he jumps past the shine and hits a log, killing him instantly. |
| 144 | * BadLiar: |
| 145 | ** Josh claims Tyler is this and he can easily tell when the latter is lying. Subverted, as Tyler is frequently able to trick Josh into believing he is at a bigger disadvantage than he really is. |
| 146 | ** They both sometimes invoke this by claiming something, followed by "Or I might be lying". |
| 147 | * BigNo: Tyler lets one out whenever he has an EpicFail. |
| 148 | * BigYes: Like in his own videos, Josh repeats one of these whenever he feels truly accomplished. |
| 149 | * BreadEggsMilkSquick: Frequently. |
| 150 | * BrickJoke: In one episode, Tyler deduces that there is Pianta porn somewhere online. In a different episode, he starts going on an angry rant and mentions it again. See DespairEventHorizon below. |
| 151 | * BrokeTheRatingScale: In the finale, [[spoiler:Josh]] does this after depositing all of the Blue Coins. He gets so many Shines from this that the Shine Counter fizzles and sparks before breaking off. |
| 152 | * ButtMonkey: |
| 153 | ** Both of them get hit with this, but Josh takes a lot of jokes and accusations from Tyler. |
| 154 | ** LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} is made fun of on many occasions (up to and including having her username used as an UnusualEuphemism). Does not count as a TakeThat, they're all friends. |
| 155 | * CallBack: It's not uncommon for Tyler to make a reference to a RunningGag from a previous video. |
| 156 | * CampStraight: Tyler. |
| 157 | * CloudCuckooLander: Tyler especially, but both qualify depending on the situation. |
| 158 | * ClusterFBomb: Even ignoring all the swear words, just count every time that Tyler says "vagina" or "boner". Though Josh also does his share. |
| 159 | * CornerOfWoe: Josh says he's going into one to cry when Tyler reveals that his next versus will have nothing to do with Josh. |
| 160 | * CountryMatters |
| 161 | * CoveredInGunge: A variant in the Loser Challenge. [[spoiler:Tyler is covered in several beverages relating to the stages of the game, then drinks a mixture of them.]] |
| 162 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: They both have their moments of awesome, despite their usual failures. |
| 163 | * DespairEventHorizon: Tyler parodies this when he starts having excessive amounts of trouble in a certain level. Doubles as a CallBack to two previous jokes. |
| 164 | -->"I hate this project! I hate you! I hate Piantas! I hate [[RuleThirtyFour their porn]]! I hate Vagisil! I hate Jesus Grandma! I hate... eating old men!" |
| 165 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Josh calls Tyler out on a case of Redundant Acronym Syndrome when Tyler refers to LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} as "my BFF forever". |
| 166 | * DissonantSerenity: During the middle of [[spoiler:Tyler]] going through the losers' punishment, the background music suddenly changes from a techno mix to the peaceful [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Ordon Village]] theme. |
| 167 | * DistantFinale: Some regular videos suffered from ScheduleSlip, though the finale was on schedule. The ''ending video'' meant to wrap up loose ends on the project as a whole, however, came out after a few months. |
| 168 | * DorkHorseCandidate: One camp of fans is on "Team Chuggaaconroy", thinking he will win, despite not being involved in the race at all. |
| 169 | * DudeNotFunny: [[invoked]] Tyler tells what he believes to be a funny story to Josh about these dogs attacking another dog, with the one dog making a screeching noise (which Tyler could imitate). Instead of laughing, Josh was horrified. |
| 170 | * ElSpanishO: Tyler decides that the Spanish version of one-hundred is "El One-Hundred O". |
| 171 | * EpicFail: At least one per episode. |
| 172 | * EvasiveFightThreadEpisode: While each episode ends with one ahead of the other, they're always pretty close and the situation can turn around within minutes of a single episode. |
| 173 | ** Even when one of them won in the end, it was close. |
| 174 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In one episode, the commentary had to be muted for a few moments due to content. Given [[CrossesTheLineTwice what the two talk about on a regular basis]], that's saying something. |
| 175 | * FelonyMisdemeanor: Having the game's audio play for both players instead of whichever one is in the lead. |
| 176 | * ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:Josh]] was ahead by a lot in the penultimate episode, so it wasn't really much of a surprise when he won, though it was pretty close. |
| 177 | * GenrePopularizer: Of the Splitscreen versus genre subtype of LetsPlay, which were present already but ''really'' started springing up after the project finished. |
| 178 | * HaHaHaNo: Josh does this a couple of times during their game of 20 Questions. |
| 179 | * HeroicBSOD: |
| 180 | ** Tyler has a short one when he thinks he's trapped himself in an inescapable part of the level after going there before getting all of the red coins, thinking he did. |
| 181 | ** Josh also has a short one when he glitches and ends up below the level. He has an even bigger one much earlier, when he loses the bananas Mario was supposed to deliver, on the ''inside of a vat''. |
| 182 | * HotterAndSexier: What Josh's sentences are once he changes a word when playing the 'Bop' game. |
| 183 | * HypocriticalHumor: [[SirSwearsALot Tyler]] calls Josh out on cursing once or twice. |
| 184 | * IAmAHumanitarian: Josh apparently eats old men. |
| 185 | -->'''Josh''': Why did I say that?! |
| 186 | * ImmodestOrgasm: Tyler tries to make this kind of sound on occasion. Josh usually tells him to stop. |
| 187 | * LameComeback: Josh decides to call Tyler "Toucan Sam" because of his username. The best Tyler can come up with in response is "Well, ''you're'' Josh... Junk...son." |
| 188 | * LargeHam: Both of them. |
| 189 | * LastLousyPoint: In Episode 18, Tyler collects all 100 Coins in Pianta Village... and then jumps over the Shine and falls off the level. |
| 190 | %%* ManChild: Tyler. |
| 191 | %%* MemeticMolester: InUniverse, Josh's feelings toward Tyler Perry. |
| 192 | * MindScrew: Episode 19 is this for both Josh and Tyler, thanks to each other. |
| 193 | * MusicalEpisode: Episode 17 was apparently going to be this, but they ended up not going with that. |
| 194 | * NWordPrivileges: Subverted. During their alphabet playing episode, Josh had the letter N. After thinking of it for a bit, Josh says "I can't say my N-word". This is brought up and referenced again in the ending video. |
| 195 | * OhCrap: They commonly do this right before screwing something up, or realizing they screwed it up. |
| 196 | * OnceAnEpisode: Josh tells Tyler at one point that it seems like every episode starts with the latter making a reference to vaginas. |
| 197 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: First zig-zagged with Tyler; Josh would call him by his real name, but he would refer to himself by his username. Now he calls himself Tyler on his channel and Versus. |
| 198 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Both of them are usually cheerful and upbeat, only occasionally faking being angry or upset for laughs. However: |
| 199 | ** After failing so much at the Sandbird level, Josh becomes sincerely angry and [[BigNo begins]] [[NoIndoorVoice yelling]] [[ClusterFBomb angrily]]. |
| 200 | ** Similarly, after Tyler dies ''just'' before getting the Shine Sprite in an eight red coins level he had trouble with, he actually [[HeroicBSOD breaks down crying]] temporarily. |
| 201 | * RedOniBlueOni: Tyler and Josh, respectively. Sometimes Josh will also go red, but you can count on Tyler ''never'' being blue. |
| 202 | ** Well, that depends on what kind of "being blue" we're talking about. I'm trying to say that he's vulgar. |
| 203 | * RuleThirtyFour: Tyler squicks himself out when he realizes that this applies to [[{{Gonk}} Piantas]]. |
| 204 | * RunningGag: |
| 205 | ** Tyler asking Josh if he wants any Vagisil. |
| 206 | ** The "bop" game. |
| 207 | ** "Congratulations, it's a grandma!" |
| 208 | ** [[Music/GwenStefani "This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S",]] [[MadLibsCatchPhrase with the letters that are spelled out changing every time.]] |
| 209 | * SadistShow |
| 210 | -->'''Josh:''' That's why you guys are watching this, not to race, not to see who wins, it's to see us fail. |
| 211 | -->'''Tyler:''' To see us cry. |
| 212 | -->'''Josh:''' Yeah. It's to see us in pain, on the floor, in the fetal position. That's what we do best at [[LetsPlay/{{Versus}} Super Mario Sunshine Versus]]. |
| 213 | -->'''Tyler:''' [[LetsPlay/{{Versus}} Super Mario Sunshine Versus]]: Brought to you by ''pain''. |
| 214 | * ShapedLikeItself: Josh and Tyler play a game where they make a sentence and take turns adding a word, and then they ended up making: |
| 215 | -->"Platform/SuperNintendo is a Platform/SuperNintendo." |
| 216 | * ShoutOut: LetsPlay/JoshJepson makes one to LetsPlay/ElectricalBeast, thinking that the latter knew that Shine Sprites had power over time. |
| 217 | * SirSwearsalot: Josh is a straight example. Tyler is an exaggerated example. |
| 218 | * {{Smurfing}}: LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} and LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} have both of their user names used as swear words at different points. |
| 219 | * StraightMan: Josh is the more normal of the two. |
| 220 | * TemptingFate: A rare example where it turned out ''good'' for the person speaking: [[spoiler:Josh says in the first episode [[SelfDeprecation not to "be on his team" since he fails so much.]] He ends up winning the series.]] |
| 221 | * ToiletHumor: It was gonna happen sooner or later. Tyler tells a (fictional) story about Josh putting dandelions up his butt because he didn't wipe. |
| 222 | ** Also, Tyler's 'Take a Dump in a Vagina' song. |
| 223 | * TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The thumbnail for the last part shows a screen from after the winner has already finished. [[spoiler:It shows a shot of Josh in the ending FMV next to Tyler playing Corona Mountain.]] Subverted when the thumbnails were changed to their current form. |
| 224 | * WildMassGuessing: Tyler jokes that LetsPlay/ProtonJon rarely updates because he has a serious STD. |
| 225 | * YourMom: Verbatim, one of the rankings of complaining that Josh achieves on Tyler's Complaint Counter for Josh. |
| 226 | [[/folder]] |
| 227 | |
| 228 | [[folder:Super Mario Galaxy Versus]] |
| 229 | * AbortedArc: They never finished their "Never Have I Ever" game in episode 15. |
| 230 | ** Subverted, as it gets continued in the next episode (which, to be fair, was released weeks later). |
| 231 | * AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The lifelines Level Leaver and Comet Confusion. Also Bellezbitches under AlliterativeName below. |
| 232 | ** In episode 21, on facing his greatest challenge of Rolling Gizmo Galaxy again, Tyler gives alliterative UnusualDysphemism names to each part of the level ("the Bridge of Blasphemy", "the Rails of Rampage", etc.) |
| 233 | * AlliterativeName: Bellezbitches (Team Donnabellez). |
| 234 | * AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Tyler's still here, but now he's going against LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}}, with LetsPlay/JoshJepson nowhere to be found. Aside from [[DorkHorseCandidate Team JoshJepson]] still being around. |
| 235 | * {{Angrish}}: Tyler's reduced to this when [[spoiler:he has to leave the level while fighting Bouldergeist]]. |
| 236 | ** There's a milder example later when [[spoiler:he gets [[InterfaceScrew Wiiversed]] while doing [[ThatOneBoss Bouldergeist's Daredevil Run]], resulting in him getting a GameOver.]] |
| 237 | * AntiHumor: Tyler goes on a round of this in Episode 13, which also includes a LaughTrack. |
| 238 | * AssShove: Tyler's excuse for the hiatus between episode 15 and 16 is that he went bowling and decided it would be a good idea to try and use a bowling ball as a dildo, so he had to spend three weeks in the hospital. |
| 239 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: In episode 7, Tyler asks Donna which is scarier, [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman]] or anal sex, then decides to add the third option of "getting anal sex ''from'' Slenderman". |
| 240 | * BrokeTheRatingScale: In episode 9, [[spoiler:Donna]] gets so far ahead of [[spoiler:Tyler]] that this happens to the star tracker. [[spoiler:Sadly, the Star Counter doesn't fizzle and drop off this time; it just stays stuck at a 5-star lead for Donna, even though she actually has a ''6''-star lead.]] They then mention the trope by name in episode 10. |
| 241 | * TheCameo: Subverted in Episode 9, in which Donna's fiancé is watching her record the episode, but doesn't say a single word throughout the entire thing. |
| 242 | * ClusterFBomb |
| 243 | * ContentWarnings |
| 244 | * ContinuityNod: The intro features a dubstep song with various shots of the Super Mario Galaxy cutscenes, just like the Super Mario Sunshine Versus intro (except with Sunshine instead of Galaxy). |
| 245 | ** Once again, the Shag/Fuck, Marry, or Kill game is played, this time between Tyler and Donna. |
| 246 | ** In the final video, Tyler [[spoiler:proposes to Donna, who refuses as she wants to save herself for Lucahjin.]] |
| 247 | * CoolOldLady: Both LP'ers opinions of their grandmothers, as seen in episode 6. |
| 248 | * CountryMatters: Right there in the first episode. Donna doesn't have a problem with it and claims that it really isn't offensive at all once you know [[labelnote:the history of the word]]according to Donna, "cunt" is derived from the name of a Celtic fertility goddess[[/labelnote]]. |
| 249 | ** SerialEscalation: A minor version, but considering the above point, yeah. Sunshine Versus didn't have the first PrecisionFStrike until the second episode. |
| 250 | * DanceSensation: "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Do the Nipple T-rex!]]" from episode 2. |
| 251 | * DamnYouMuscleMemory: She doesn't call attention to it, but you can see Donna struggling with this in episode 14 when [[IncrediblyLamePun Wii]][[InterfaceScrew versed.]] |
| 252 | * DiscoDan: Mild version. Sunshine Versus ended. Not for some people on Team LetsPlay/JoshJepson, it hasn't, though. See DorkHorseCandidate. |
| 253 | ** And Donna insists on referring to stars as "shines", much to Tyler's irritation. |
| 254 | * DistaffCounterpart: Tyler creates "[[LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys The Runaway Girls]]" -- Josh Jepson, Lucahjin, and Donnabellez. Surprisingly enough, if Josh really were a girl, there could be some comparisons drawn between them and LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys. |
| 255 | * DorkHorseCandidate: Team LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} is back, and this time there's also Team LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun, Team LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}}, and the continued existence of Team LetsPlay/JoshJepson. |
| 256 | * DoubleTake: End of episode 8: |
| 257 | --> '''Tyler''': I've been [=AttackingTucans=]! |
| 258 | --> '''Donna''': And I've been [[BlatantLies AttackingTucans]]! |
| 259 | --> '''Tyler''': And we'll- ({{Beat}}) [[RunningGag DUMB BITCH!]] |
| 260 | * EverythingIsRacist: Joked about in episode 10, in which they decide that even words like "son" and "girl" have now become racially charged due to PoliticalOvercorrectness. |
| 261 | * FanCommunityNickname: InUniverse. Unlike the ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin team names for the fanbase, the players declare that people who are rooting for Tyler are "The Tuclan" and people supporting Donnabellez are "Bellezbitches". |
| 262 | ** Tyler comes up with a nickname of his own, which Donna does ''not'' like. See NeverSayThatAgain below. |
| 263 | * GotMeDoingIt: In Episode 7, Tyler starts calling Stars "Shines", having picked up the habit from Donna, annoying him to no end. |
| 264 | ** And at the end of episode 8, he refers to the game they're playing as ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', which Donna claims in episode 9 is more evidence that she's rubbing off on him. |
| 265 | * HardDrinkingPartyGirl: After episode 10 begins with the sound of Donna drinking (water), Tyler constantly claims she's one of these for the rest of the episode. |
| 266 | * HelloInsertNameHere: In episode 2, when Rosalina gives the "Your name is Mario, isn't it?" line, they both decide to say 'no' and come up with unique names for their respective Marios: Tyler's is "Felupe" and Donna's is "Juan José". |
| 267 | * HypocriticalHumor: Tyler tries to impersonate Donnabellez, but loses it when she does the same back. |
| 268 | ** And the entirety of episode 10, aka "The Racist Episode". |
| 269 | -->'''Tyler:''' This is the most racist episode ever, I can't believe you're doing these racist jokes on my videos. What the hell is wrong with you?! '''What the hell is wrong with you?!''' [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Hey look]], [[CallBack it's the Terrorist Dome!]] ''(ululates)'' |
| 270 | * IncrediblyLamePun: Toad-ally. |
| 271 | * InterfaceScrew: One of the lifelines (see {{Troll}} below) is to force the other player to swap which hand is holding either the Wii-Remote or Nunchuk. They call it "[[IncrediblyLamePun Wiiverse]]". |
| 272 | * InTheStyleOf: Starting in episode 4, they play a game where one of them chooses a song for the other to sing and an inappropriate style in which to sing it. This leads to, among other things... |
| 273 | --> '''Donnabellez:''' [[Music/{{Adele}} And I set fire]] [[ZombieApocalypse to your brains]]\ |
| 274 | [[IncendiaryExponent Watch them burn]] [[CannibalismSuperpower as I eat your face]] |
| 275 | * KaizoTrap: Donna suffers one when she completes the surfing game in part 2 by crashing into the gate, causing the "GOAL" text to appear, but then she falls off and dies, causing her to restart, even though she clearly completed it. |
| 276 | * LaughingMad: Tyler in episode 13. |
| 277 | * MondegreenGag: Tyler seems to think Donna's name for Mario (Juan José) is "One Horseh". |
| 278 | ** In episode 8, "Donna's fiancé" becomes "Donna's Music/{{Beyonce}}". |
| 279 | * NeverSayThatAgain: Donna's response when, while [[ItMakesSenseInContext talking about walking on balls]] in Space Junk Galaxy in episode 3, Tyler calls her "Donnaballz". |
| 280 | * NonindicativeName: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in episode 6, when they talk about how none of their fans from countries other than the USA have heard of ''International'' House of Pancakes (IHOP), and set their viewers a challenge to find out if there are any outside the US. [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle There are, but only in Canada, Mexico and Guatemala]]. |
| 281 | * OrphanedPunchline: Parodied in the beginning of Episode 7. |
| 282 | * PerfectlyCromulentWord: "Booble" in episode 15 (also InherentlyFunnyWords). |
| 283 | ** Episode 23 gives us the number "[[EleventyZillion a billionty]]" and "Velassoraptor", which Tyler claims is a "a Velociraptor made of molasses". |
| 284 | * ScareEmStraight: Tyler shares his experience with this in episode 11. |
| 285 | * TheScream: Tyler's reaction to [[spoiler:Donna finishing the [[ScrappyLevel Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]] on her first try, after he failed many times in the previous episode.]] |
| 286 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Forcefully placed on one racer by the other, as one of the lifelines. [[note]]Level Leaver, to be precise.[[/note]] |
| 287 | ** [[spoiler:Tyler pulls one at the end of episode 17, after failing one time too many in the [[ScrappyLevel Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]]. Subverted as he comes back and sheepishly asks if (the now signed-off) Donna's mad at him for bailing, implying it was a fake RageQuit.]] |
| 288 | -->[[spoiler:'''Tyler:''' '''THIS LEVEL IS A FUCKING ''SLUT!!!'' FUCKING ''[[{{Angrish}} SLUAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!]]''''' *his door is heard slamming*]] |
| 289 | * {{Sequelitis}}: InUniverse, both Tyler and Donna criticize ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'', believing that it's rather stale compared to the first. |
| 290 | * SerialEscalation: Last time, there was only one DorkHorseCandidate; this time, as seen in episode 2, at least four Let's Players not actually involved in the race in any way got team votes. |
| 291 | ** The intro to episode 14, |
| 292 | -->'''Donna''': Hey, everybody! This is LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} and guess what? [[spoiler:'''STARBIT BLOWOUT!''']] |
| 293 | * ShapedLikeItself: Donnabellez claims her chest is as exquisite as itself. |
| 294 | ** In episode 8, Tyler says "there's the Bowser fight, where you fight Bowser". |
| 295 | * ShipSinking: In Episode 5, they both mention that Donna has a fiancé, so people should not be shipping her and Tyler. |
| 296 | * ShoutOut: In episode 10, Donna compares the black holes to [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the Eye of Sauron]]. |
| 297 | * SoundtrackDissonance: Depending on who's in the lead and what levels they're in, this can happen if you look at the screen of whoever has their audio ''not'' playing. For example, while Tyler is fighting King Kaliente in episode 11, Donna is in Toy Time Galaxy, which has very cheerful music. It's hard to watch Tyler's screen with that music playing and not crack up. |
| 298 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: In episode 6, Donna mistakenly refers to Creator/RoaldDahl as "Ronald Dahl". Interestingly, according to one of Dahl's books, when he was in the army, ''they'' always misspelled his name as that on forms, too. |
| 299 | * StayInTheKitchen: They joke about this when they both unlock the kitchen dome in Episode 4. |
| 300 | * StealthPun: The series is started on June 9th. In other words, 6/9. Tyler [[DontExplainTheJoke points this out]] in the description of his upload of the trailer. |
| 301 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In episode 2, both of them seem to think the Count from ''Series/SesameStreet'' is actually [[{{Dracula}} Count Dracula]]. |
| 302 | * SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Tyler asks Donna how many Star Bits the first Hungry Luma needs, guessing 50, since he can't imagine it'd be 100. Donna (who has just paid said Luma with 100 Star Bits) agrees, asking why would he want 100? |
| 303 | ** Tyler does not watch ''Series/{{iCarly}}''. |
| 304 | * TemptingFate: In episode 18, Tyler mentions that if Donna [[spoiler:finishes [[ThatOneLevel Rolling Gizmo Galaxy]] on her first try]], they would no longer be friends. No points for guessing what happened. |
| 305 | * {{Troll}}: The lifeline system allows Tyler or Donna to do the following tricks to each other (two times per trick throughout the race): |
| 306 | ** Assisted Suicide: Force the other player to have Mario lose a life on the spot. |
| 307 | ** Wiiverse: Make the other player [[InterfaceScrew put the Wii-Mote and Nunchuk into their opposite hands]]. |
| 308 | ** Starbit Blowout: Force the other player to waste 250 star bits. |
| 309 | ** Level Leaver: Force the other player to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere exit the current level]] and start over. |
| 310 | ** Comet Confusion: Have the other player talk to the Purple Luma and switch around the Prankster Comet positions. |
| 311 | * WhamLine: Tyler to Donna in episode 5 when she has 699 Star Bits: |
| 312 | --> '''Tyler''': Starbit Blowout! [[spoiler:TIMES TWO!]] |
| 313 | ** Not so much the line itself, but the StunnedSilence that follows. |
| 314 | --> '''Tyler''': Never have I ever [[spoiler:swallowed somebody's cum before.]] |
| 315 | * WondrousLadiesRoom: Inverted -- Donna has a similar romanticised view of urinals, and Tyler has to explain that they really aren't that glamorous. |
| 316 | [[/folder]] |
| 317 | |
| 318 | [[folder:Luigi's Mansion Versus]] |
| 319 | * AndThatsTerrible: |
| 320 | --> '''Josh''': I'm being hugged to death! This is a problem! |
| 321 | * AtomicFBomb: Episode 4, when [[spoiler:Tyler]] misses gold rank on Orville the Portrait Ghost by 2 hp. |
| 322 | * BigNo: When [[spoiler:Josh loses all HP]] in episode 5. |
| 323 | * BlatantLies: Tyler telling Josh that the Golden Mouse in Madame Clairvoya's room has only a 20% chance of spawning randomly, when actually you're supposed to force it to appear by examining a piece of cheese. Josh believes it. |
| 324 | * BookEnds: The first episode has Tyler's game stop for a few seconds because his disc can't be read. This happens again after he beats the final boss. |
| 325 | * BuffySpeak: In Episode 1, "You have selective...stupid...ness" |
| 326 | * CallBack: "My bananas!" and [[AGoodNameForARockBand the Throbbing Masses]]. |
| 327 | ** And this reaction to one of Tyler's jokes: |
| 328 | -->'''Josh:''' [[{{Angrish}} Wh-- I swear to-- what the-- argh!]] [[OnceAnEpisode We made it—]] ''[[OnceAnEpisode almost]]'' [[OnceAnEpisode made it— the entire series without talking about piercing vaginas.]] |
| 329 | * FakeBand: The Throbbing Masses ascend to this, with their new hit single "Scooby-Doo", and Josh dramatically leaving the band due to CreativeDifferences (despite Tyler protesting that they can't be the Throbbing Masses without "the throbbingest of the masses"). |
| 330 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: In Episode 3 of Galaxy Versus, Tyler mentioned that prior to the recording, he'd been playing ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1''. The following day, LetsPlay/JoshJepson announced on Twitter that he would be starting a Luigi's Mansion Versus on his channel with Tyler. |
| 331 | ** Tyler [[BlatantLies claims that]], back when Josh's dad interrupted ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', it was foreshadowing for ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'' because said interruption involved a vacuum. |
| 332 | * ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:Subverted. Josh loses progress in Episode 5, but by the end of Episode 6, they're more or less neck and neck again]]. |
| 333 | * HeroicBSOD: After [[spoiler:Josh dies]] in part 5, he literally does nothing for the rest of the video. |
| 334 | * HostileShowTakeOver: [[spoiler:Tyler]] tries this in the fifth video after [[spoiler:Josh]] stops playing. |
| 335 | * IncrediblyLamePun: After releasing the Boos, "I'm drunk on booze/Boos!" |
| 336 | * InsistentTerminology: Tyler referring to the anteroom as the "anteater room". |
| 337 | ** He also refers to the Trashcan Ghosts as "gorilla ghosts", apparently just because they throw banana skins at you. |
| 338 | * InsaneTrollLogic: When Josh mentioned he thought ''Film/TheHauntedMansion2003'' was a bad movie, Tyler claimed he thought it was bad because he doesn't like Black actors. Josh reverses this by calling out Tyler for confusing Eddie Murphy with Will Smith because they look the same to him. |
| 339 | * OhCrap: Josh comes out of first person view at one point to realize that not only is he surrounded by ghosts, but also has ''1'' hit point left. |
| 340 | * OlderThanTheyLook: An odd case with E. Gadd. Tyler thought he was a baby at first, and Josh agrees that he looks like a baby, though only until you see his elderly face. |
| 341 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: [[spoiler:Josh]] combines this with a BigNo upon [[spoiler:dying in Episode 5]]. |
| 342 | * SeriousBusiness: [[ItMakesSenseInContext "WHERE'D THE TABLE-BONER GO?!"]] |
| 343 | * {{Spoonerism}}: As a joke, they decide to introduce one episode by introducing themselves by the other's name. This quickly breaks down when Tyler says "And I'm Jesh...Jop...son." |
| 344 | * StylisticSuck: [[spoiler:Episode 5's overall video quality decreases after Josh dies.]] |
| 345 | * TakeThat: Josh calls out ''Series/{{iCarly}}''. |
| 346 | * ViolationOfCommonSense: Tyler decides to vacuum his room. While recording. He really does it, too. |
| 347 | * WhamEpisode: Episode 5, where [[spoiler:Josh dies in-game, causing his screen to become filled with static with no clue as to his fate... Tyler assumes he has been killed by the [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman.]]]] |
| 348 | [[/folder]] |
| 349 | |
| 350 | [[folder:Super Mario 64 Versus]] |
| 351 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse. In episode 10, Tyler suggests that the reason why [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] [[HeroicMime never talks]] is that he's autistic. |
| 352 | * BoringButPractical: The Finale has them both agreeing that the 100-coin Stars were this. While both frustrating and time-consuming, Josh and Tyler both agree that the series would have been a lot more one-sided without them. |
| 353 | * BrokeTheRatingScale: Josh in Part 9, and Tyler in Part 11. |
| 354 | * CallBack: In the intro of Episode 1, Josh asks Tyler if [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy "his boobs are ready"]]. |
| 355 | * {{Catchphrase}}: Josh keeps insisting that "I'm good at this game!" |
| 356 | ** This is inverted to "I'm ''terrible'' at this game!" in episode 5 when Josh fails repeatedly at two [[LastLousyPoint Hundred-Coin stars]]. |
| 357 | ** Also in episode 5, Josh claims that a catchphrase of Tyler's in real life is to insist "That's because we're the same person!" whenever any point of even vague similarity between him and Josh comes up. |
| 358 | * CutenessProximity: In episode 1, Tyler does this to a ''Chain-Chomp''. |
| 359 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "This stupid platform is stupid!" |
| 360 | * {{Dissimile}}: In episode 1, when talking about how excited they are about the new Versus channel, Tyler says he's as excited as 'Mitt Romney...[[AlternateUniverse the version of him that managed to win the presidential election]]'. |
| 361 | * EpicFail: To quote Tyler on Josh dying in the first level: "WHO dies at Bob-Omb Battlefield!?" |
| 362 | ** HypocriticalHumor: Tyler mocks Josh for having trouble in Bob-omb Battlefield ''after'' talking about how he and his dad were unable to beat the level when he was a child. |
| 363 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first episode of the Versus begins with both of them randomly making CrossesTheLineTwice insulting comments about Princess Peach. |
| 364 | * FanCommunityNickname: InUniverse. "The Tuclan" returns for Tyler supporters, and Josh supporters are now called "the Jepsquad". |
| 365 | ** In episode 7, a mispronunciation by Tyler leads to him suggesting that fans of the Versus series in general should be called "farns". |
| 366 | * FirstWorldProblems: In the finale, Tyler sarcastically paints himself in this light. |
| 367 | -->'''Tyler''': But what if I die four times? Then I have to walk all the way back up here. |
| 368 | -->'''Josh''': Oh, poor you! |
| 369 | -->'''Tyler''': I know. My life is so hard. Shut up, [[Literature/TheDiaryOfAYoungGirl Anne Frank]], your life is not as hard as mine! |
| 370 | * HypocriticalHumor: In episode 5, Tyler tells the fans to GetYourMindOutOfTheGutter for always complaining that he doesn't lampshade it when he gets 69 of something in-game. |
| 371 | * ImaginedInnuendo: In episode 7, Tyler complains that when you're an adult, every adjective is spoiled by a sexual connotation. Josh initially tells him to GetYourMindOutOfTheGutter, but after a few examples starts agreeing with him. |
| 372 | * ImAHumanitarian: In episode 7, Tyler's pronunciation of 'nominee' degrading to 'nom-on-my-knee' leads to him threatening to eat Josh's knees. |
| 373 | ** Later in episode 8, Tyler [[InsaneTrollLogic claims Josh doesn't care about starving African children]] because he wouldn't let a Spindrift enemy eat him. |
| 374 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Tyler claiming that if two things have anything in common, they're the same. For instance, in episode 7 saying that Josh and Music/NickiMinaj are the same person because they used the same insult, and then adding that Josh and UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush are also the same person because they're both men. |
| 375 | * LameComeback: In episode 8: |
| 376 | --> '''Tyler''': I feel like you're being a negative Nancy right now. |
| 377 | --> '''Josh''': Well ''I'' think ''you're'' being a negative...face...hole... |
| 378 | --> '''Tyler''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, good one, good one. Applause.]] |
| 379 | * LateToThePunchline: Tyler doesn't get that Josh's nickname "Cute-Ness Monster" for the sea monster is a pun on "Loch Ness Monster" until he explains it. |
| 380 | * LineOfSightName: Not a name, but the same idea; the intro to episode 7 has Tyler refer to the viewers as 'watermelon and cheese balls', which he claims was him randomly putting together the name of a fruit and something he had in his room. |
| 381 | * {{Malaproper}}: Tyler, as usual; he comes up with the particularly awesome one "Cyber-Toothed Tiger" in episode 10. |
| 382 | ** Both Josh and Tyler consistently pronounce the word "Bob-Omb" as "Bomb-Omb". |
| 383 | * MeaningfulName: Discussed in episode 5, when Tyler says that his name means he's the descendant of someone who lays tiles, and in fact his father does lay tiles as part of his job in real life. |
| 384 | * PerfectlyCromulentWord: Josh and Tyler argue about whether "Untheoretical" is one in episode 6. |
| 385 | * RubeGoldbergMachine: In episode 7, they suggest the idea of a "''Rude'' Goldberg Device", an unnecessarily complicated way of being rude to someone. |
| 386 | * ShoutOut: Tyler starts singing "Witch Doctor" when he catches the monkey at the end of episode 9. |
| 387 | * SimpletonVoice: Both of them do one in episode 9 when mockingly imitating the teenage ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' fan [=YouTube=] troll stereotype. |
| 388 | * StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In episode 6, after Tyler talks about Veggietales for a while, Josh says he has an idea for an innuendo but won't say it, and Tyler ''immediately'' guesses what it was. |
| 389 | * TemptingFate: In episode 3, Josh says he has a very strong feeling that Tyler will fail a lot in the first Bowser level. Guess who gets a Game Over. |
| 390 | * TomatoSurprise: Parodied in episode 5, when Tyler sings the Barney theme song, Josh suggests he must be an 'avid fan', only for Tyler to claim he IS Barney. |
| 391 | * TheUnpronounceable: In episode 7, Tyler keeps mispronouncing 'nominee' as 'nominamee'. Ironically, when Josh tries to mock him for this, Josh then finds he can't pronounce Tyler's mispronunciation. |
| 392 | * VitriolicBestBuds: In episode 1, Tyler talks about an acquaintance who tried to invoke this trope just by ending every sentence with "[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch ...bitch]]" as a VerbalTic... bitch. |
| 393 | [[/folder]] |
| 394 | |
| 395 | [[folder:Ocarina of Time Versus]] |
| 396 | * TheAbridgedSeries: At the start of each video, there are parody segments summing up the plot of the game in between the dungeons that are done in this style. |
| 397 | ** Now, an entire video for it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BENRFpE7SM here]]. |
| 398 | * AccidentalPublicConfession: In the finale, Josh says that he loved playing the N64 Rugrats game as a kid. Tyler agrees and says he did the same. Josh reveals he was joking. Tyler reveals he ''wasn't''. |
| 399 | * AluminiumChristmasTrees: [[invoked]] Tyler is shocked to discover that ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'' is an ''actual'', non-parody ''Film/JamesBond'' movie. |
| 400 | * AtomicFBomb: [[spoiler:Josh's]] reaction when he reaches the boss door in the Spirit Temple and realizes [[spoiler:he has forgotten to get the Big Key.]] |
| 401 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: [[spoiler:Kaepora Gaebora]] in the intro to episode 4 part 2. |
| 402 | * BlatantLies: Both of the players engage in this, leading to MindScrew situations where they are both lying to each other about their in-game location, and have to figure out whether the other is telling the truth or not. |
| 403 | -->'''Josh''': Tyler, you ''have'' to trust me. You know why? |
| 404 | -->'''Tyler''': Why? |
| 405 | -->'''Josh''': ''(clearly unable to keep a straight face)'' [[RefugeInAudacity Because I always tell the truth.]] |
| 406 | * BookEnds: The first and last episodes are both decided by a matter of seconds [[spoiler:in Tyler's favor.]] |
| 407 | * BreadEggsMilkSquick: |
| 408 | ** The Sages forming the bridge in the finale's opening recap. |

| 416 | * BrickJoke: In the Jabu-Jabu episode, Kaepora Gaebora (voiced by Tyler) randomly announcing that he's an owl. |
| 417 | * CaptainObvious: Much to Tyler's annoyance, Kaepora Gaebora loves interrupting to inform everyone that he is, in fact, an owl. |
| 418 | * CrackPairing: InUniverse. Tyler suggests Zelda should marry the Deku Tree due to them both being sources of annoying exposition in the early part of the game. |
| 419 | * DroppingTheBombshell: A rather strange instance at the end of episode 6, after which [[spoiler:Josh ends the video, signifying that he had won, without Tyler knowing that he was almost done. Tyler has what is probably the biggest period of silence of his entire life afterwards.]] |
| 420 | * DudeNotFunny: Josh claims "Too soon" when Tyler references the ''Titanic'' in episode 9 part 1. |
| 421 | * ElSpanishO: |
| 422 | ** Discussed in episode 1. |

| 424 | * FirstWorldProblems: When Josh is bemoaning [[spoiler:his loss in the finale episode]], Tyler sarcastically responds with this CallBack to the ''Super Mario 64'' Versus: |
| 425 | -->"Shut up, Anne Frank! Your life is not as hard as Josh's! Shut up, Africans, starving in Africa! Your life is not as hard as Josh's!" |
| 426 | * ForWantOfANail: In the finale, Josh points out that [[spoiler:he would have won the episode (and the Versus) had he not fallen off a platform near the beginning and wasted precious seconds]]. |

| 431 | * HypocriticalHumor: In the Finale episode, Josh references the [[RunningGag "I'm an owl"]] joke, only for Tyler to tell him that the [[OverusedRunningGag joke has been run into the ground.]] This statement is immediately followed by Tyler editing in the owl clip, multiple times. |

| 435 | * InterfaceSpoiler: |
| 436 | ** [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in part 2 of episode 7. In response to comments saying that it is easy to tell the winner early in an episode just by watching the progress bar, Tyler explains that the bar doesn't actually move at a consistent speed, but moves up a bit whenever the player reaches one of 15 predetermined checkpoints. |
| 437 | ** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in [[spoiler:Part 15, the second minigame episode. Five minigames were shown, so it was assumed that they tied and needed a tiebreaker, right? ...Wrong. Josh won three of them before the fifth minigame, but they went through with it for the hell of it.]] |

| 449 | * ObligatoryJoke: In Dodongo's Cavern, "[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames I can't wait to bomb some Dodongos!]]" |
| 450 | * OneTruePairing: InUniverse. Mentioned by name by Tyler in episode 4 when Zelda uses the phrase "But you already know that!" (close to Josh's catchphrase "...but you knew that already") and he says that he ships Josh with Zelda. |
| 451 | * OverusedRunningGag: InUniverse, deliberately attempted by Tyler with "My ballsack smells like Anju" in episode 6. |
| 452 | * PerfectlyCromulentWord: |
| 453 | ** Josh comes up with "horrorful" in episode 5 part 2. |
| 454 | ** Tyler creates "beautemous" in episode 9 part 2. |
| 455 | * RunningGag: |
| 456 | ** "[[ExpositionFairy SHUT UP, NAVI!]]" |
| 457 | ** Kaepora Gaebora or Impa interrupting Tyler. |
| 458 | ** DroppingTheBombshell by doing the outro when one of them has won without any further indication is becoming this. |
| 459 | ** "I died... but I had a fairy." |
| 460 | * ScrappyMechanic: InUniverse. |
| 461 | ** Both of them think this about the Bombchu Bowling minigame, especially its LuckBasedMission aspects. |
| 462 | ** In the finale, Tyler states that they played the fishing minigame offscreen, and he hated it. |
| 463 | * SoundEffectBleep: In episode 2, when Tyler uses the [[CountryMatters c-word]]. Rather unusual, as he uses it in other videos without censoring it. |
| 464 | * SpeakInUnison: |
| 465 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAci47ddYnQ&t=77s The first thing Josh and Tyler say in the entire Versus]] is in unison. |
| 466 | ** They yell "NAVI!!" in sync at the beginning of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzFiR1_FQOY&t=132s Dodongo's Cavern]]. |
| 467 | * TheStinger: [[spoiler: I'm an owl.]] |
| 468 | * TastesLikeChicken: Discussed in episode 4. |
| 469 | * TemptingFate: Josh gets hit by this multiple times. |
| 470 | ** In Episode 4, he states that he hasn't missed any slingshot targets yet, and then immediately misses one. The same thing happens on his second set. |
| 471 | -->'''Tyler''': You kinda just screwed yourself. |
| 472 | ** He later gloats that he's about to [[spoiler:sell the Bunny Hood and win the mask trading quest]], and adds "Unless I fuck up. I don't know how I could fuck up, though." He then proceeds to fuck up by [[spoiler:trying to do this during the day (it's only possible at night), and loses the episode]]. |
| 473 | ** In Episode 14, while griping about his numerous mistakes in the Spirit Temple, he clarifies to Tyler that the mistakes are minor and that "I'm not getting lost. I'd be a fucking idiot." [[spoiler:Later in that episode, he indeed gets lost while backtracking to the Boss Key room]]. |
| 474 | ** In Episode 15, he brags about how good he is at the Dampé race. He then immediately gets hit by one of Dampé's flames, and later [[spoiler:goes the wrong way and loses the race]]. The former also happens to Tyler. |
| 475 | * ThatCameOutWrong: In episode 7 part 1. |
| 476 | -->'''Tyler''': (About fire keese) Yeah, it'll ''kill'' your ass. |
| 477 | -->'''Josh''': No, it'll kill ''your'' ass, my ass is perfectly fine. I have a great ass. |
| 478 | -->'''Tyler''': '''*Snickers*''' |
| 479 | -->({{Beat}}) |
| 480 | -->'''Josh''': [[LateToThePunchline Wait.]] Wait, wait, no, [[LampshadeHanging that's not what I meant.]] Nevermind. No. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Moving on.]] |
| 481 | -->'''Tyler''': '''[[DelayedReaction *Laughs*]]''' |
| 482 | * ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:This is the first main Versus that Tyler won]]. |
| 483 | * TraumaCongaLine: The Spirit Temple is this for [[spoiler:Josh, whose misfortunes include: accidentally prolonging the conversation with Nabooru, taking forever on the first Silver Rupee room, forgetting the Dungeon Map and one Gold Skulltula, neglecting to collect the Boss Key ''after opening access to it'', becoming lost as he tries to remember where the Boss Key is, and getting a Game Over on the boss]]. By the end, [[HeroicBSOD he doesn't even have the will to rage about it anymore]]. |
| 484 | * UnreliableNarrator: Both Josh, and later Tyler, exploit this trope even more so than usual, creating elaborate fake stories about what they're doing right now to fool the other into thinking they're less far ahead than they are. |
| 485 | * ValleyGirl: |
| 486 | ** The voice Tyler does for Princess Zelda. |
| 487 | ** The opening to episode 9 part 1 had Josh summarizing the story and voicing the characters entirely in a valley girl voice. |
| 488 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]. The loser challenge video was heavily delayed, mostly because the footage they recorded for it was lost due to Tyler's laptop crashing. For a while it seemed that we'd never see it, but [[spoiler:Josh]] eventually relented and agreed to re-record the loser challenge, and the video was uploaded on June 19, 2014--eleven months after the Versus ended. |
| 489 | [[/folder]] |
| 490 | |
| 491 | [[folder:Sonic Adventure 2 Versus]] |
| 492 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse, in episode 9. Tyler points out that in Hero Story you play as Sonic and defeat Shadow in a battle, yet in Dark Story you do a PerspectiveFlip and beat Sonic, and wonders which one is canon. Lucah suggests that Sonic and Shadow are such egotists that they selectively remember themselves as always winning even if they don't, and further suggests they're both actually in a coma imagining it all. |
| 493 | * AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: In episode 1: |
| 494 | --> '''Tyler:''' For you guys who are new to this game - ''go away!'' |
| 495 | * BrickJoke: After saving himself for so long, Tyler finally asks Lucahjin to marry him. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Lucah has already promised herself to [[CoolHorse My Balls.]] Tyler is down for a bigamous relationship.]] |
| 496 | * CurbStompBattle: |
| 497 | ** [[spoiler: Episode 3, where Tyler beats Lucah in every level.]] |
| 498 | ** [[spoiler: She gets her revenge in Episode 8, where she wins every level and manages to catch up to Tyler after his lead in Hero Story.]] |
| 499 | ** [[spoiler: Which Tyler counters in Episode 10 by winning every level again and gaining a 4-point lead on her.]] |
| 500 | * EpicFail: |
| 501 | ** Tyler somehow manages to die in City Escape. ''Twice.'' |
| 502 | ** In Metal Harbor, shortly after Lucah dies, Tyler does as well. The difference is that Tyler ''missed the checkpoint and has to start the level all over.'' |
| 503 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Tyler thinks ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'''s humour is too immature. |
| 504 | * EvilIsCool: InUniverse, Lucah claims that she's better in Dark Story than Hero Story. [[spoiler: This seems to hold up, as Lucah catches up to Tyler in two episodes of Dark Story.]] |
| 505 | * FanCommunityNickname: InUniverse. "The Tuclan" returns for Tyler's supporters, and LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}}'s supporters are called "Lucah Troopas". |
| 506 | * GodwinsLaw: Brought up in episode 10, when Lucah accuses Hitler of having made the game. This in turn leads to Tyler suggesting YouClonedHitler. |
| 507 | * HypocriticalHumor: In Episode 1. |
| 508 | -->'''Lucah''': Oh God, Omochao is like a redheaded stepchild. I hate him. |
| 509 | -->'''Tyler''': Aren't ''you'' a redheaded...stepchild? [[note]]Lucah is actually adopted, which is not EXACTLY the same thing as a stepchild.[[/note]] |
| 510 | -->'''Lucah''': [[BlatantLies That's neither here nor there, sir.]] |
| 511 | * JokeExhaustion: During White Jungle in Episode 9, both of them try to come up with as many jungle-related songs to reference as they can. |
| 512 | * OhCrap: Both Tyler and Lucah had some in episode 3 when Tails was about to die in Mission street. |
| 513 | * RashomonStyle: Lucah suggests in episode 10 that the cutscenes should have been written this way to avoid being repetitive, since many of the same ones are shown in both Hero Story and Dark Story. |
| 514 | * RippedFromTheHeadlines: In episode 9, when a cutscene shows Rouge is on her own side, Tyler suggests she's 'part of the government'. Lucah retorts '[[ItMakesSenseInContext why would a bat be part of the government?]]' and Tyler claims that because of the ongoing government shutdown, they have to employ bats instead. |
| 515 | * RuleThirtyFour: [[ContinuityNod Once again,]] Tyler wonders if this rule applies in this game, specifically to the [[CombatTentacles Artificial Chaos enemies]] from the ARK stages. |
| 516 | * RunningGag: |
| 517 | ** References to sardines. |
| 518 | ** Tyler asking the fans to send some random item to Lucahjin, such as sardines, hemorrhoid cream, or pictures of Emma Stone. He's even started putting her PO box in the description of every video. |
| 519 | ** The golden hashtag, where Lucah asks the fans to tweet things that Tyler says out of context. |
| 520 | ** Lucah comparing herself to Dr Eggman, and fans sending in fanart of her dressed as him. |
| 521 | * TakeAThirdOption: When Lucah asks Tyler if he'd prefer to be on bottom or top, Tyler decides he wants to be 'in the middle'. |
| 522 | * VerbalTic: Lucah has "actually". |
| 523 | [[/folder]] |
| 524 | |
| 525 | [[folder:Banjo-Kazooie Versus]] |
| 526 | * AbortedArc: Starting in Episode 7, the HUD no longer tracks how many musical notes that each player has collected. |
| 527 | * {{Antidisestablishmentarianism}}: Brought up by Tyler in episode 9, but he just uses "disestablishmentarianism" (itself a word) instead. |
| 528 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: When [[spoiler:Tyler]] loses, he comments that he's "[[LetsPlay/SuperJeenius the saddest bad dad of all]]". |
| 529 | * TheCameo: Averted. Josh tries to call his dad during episode 11, but he didn't pick up. |
| 530 | * CannotTellALie: [[BlatantLies Tyler claims]] this of himself in episode 9 because he's a [=YouTuber=] who shares all his innermost secrets in his commentary. |
| 531 | * CouchGag: Tyler tries to open each episode with a new, crazy way of referring to the viewers or telling them off. Josh finally lampshades it in Episode 12. |
| 532 | * CurbStompBattle: Both of them anticipate this, due to Josh's extreme love of the game. [[spoiler: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]; in something of a tortoise and hare situation, Tyler practices ahead while Josh doesn't, and the two wind up getting the 100th Jiggy within a minute of each other, making the Furnace of Fun and the final boss the deciding factors]]. |
| 533 | * FirstWorldProblems: [[RunningGag Once again]], Tyler brings this up as he faces difficulty with the game. |
| 534 | -->"Shut up, [[UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans Indians on a Trail of Tears]], your life is not as hard as mine!" |
| 535 | * ImplausibleDeniability: In episode 2 [[HypocriticalHumor Tyler complains]] about Josh being SirSwearsaLot and says that he and LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} played a DrinkingGame at her house based on Josh swearing. Josh points out that Tyler and Donna are underage under U.S. licensing law. Tyler quickly claims that Donna now lives in Canada. |
| 536 | * InherentlyFunnyWords: In episode 9 Josh claims that any word becomes funny when it replaces part of the level name "Rusty Bucket Bay". |
| 537 | * MathematiciansAnswer: In Mumbo's Mountain: |
| 538 | -->'''Tyler:''' Is (this transformation) meant to be a termite or an ant? |
| 539 | -->'''Josh:''' It's a termite. ''({{beat}})'' ...or an ant. |
| 540 | * MeanCharacterNiceActor: Parodied in episode 4, where Josh and Tyler tell the viewers to get out at the beginning, then spend most of the episode acting nicer to each other than usual, and they joke that this is how they act when nobody is watching. |
| 541 | * MythologyGag: Josh pulls off a double-layered one when he starts referring to jiggies and notes as "[[VideoGame/SuperMario64 stars and coins]]" - first calling back to LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} also using terminology from the wrong game (shines instead of stars) and secondly calling back to his own solo LP of the Banjo games, where he could never remember the names of items and indulged in RapidFireNameGuessing all the time. |
| 542 | * NostalgiaFilter: InUniverse, Josh worries in episode 2 that this is the only reason he likes the game, but Tyler reassures him. |
| 543 | * PerfectlyCromulentWord: In episode 2 they invent the Contradictionary, a dictionary whose definitions are all the opposite of the actual meaning. |
| 544 | * RunningGag: Josh changing the name of the level Rusty Bucket Bay every time he mentions it. |
| 545 | * ThatCameOutWrong: In episode 7, Josh says that he's "caught between a rock and a hard Tyler" before quickly trying to backpedal. |
| 546 | * TwoGamersOnACouch: Unlike the previous Versus-es, Josh and Tyler are actually in the same room rather than using Skype for this one, for the first few episodes. Afterwards, it's back to normal. |
| 547 | * XMakesAnythingCool: In episode 6, Tyler says this is why he likes the word "sphinx". |

| 550 | [[folder:Mega Man Versus]] |
| 551 | * BadassBoast: Tim gives one in Episode 2. Of course, being [[NiceGuy Tim]], he's quick to retract it and apologize. |
| 552 | -->'''Tyler''': (losing badly) I practiced all day so I could beat you and now... and now this. |
| 553 | -->'''Tim''': Nobody beats me at this game. I should've warned ya! |
| 554 | * BreatherEpisode: The commentary in this versus is much more relaxed as Tyler highly respects Tim, and Tim naturally has a gentle nature. |
| 555 | * CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler: Tim pretty much stays ahead of Tyler the whole time]] and wins by a few stages. |
| 556 | * ForegoneConclusion: Many commenters believed that Tim would win due to his expertise in ''Mega Man'' games. [[spoiler: They were right.]] |
| 557 | * IncrediblyLamePun: Tyler makes one regarding the Picket Men of Guts Man's stage. |
| 558 | --> '''Tyler''': They can't drink alcohol because they're miners. |
| 559 | * RuleOfThree: Has three parts, the shortest completed main versus yet. |

| 564 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "I don't know if that's a compliment, or a good thing." |
| 565 | * DoubleTake: At the end of episode 9. |
| 566 | -->'''Josh''': That's it for this episode. Thank you guys for watching. I'm LetsPlay/JoshJepson. |
| 567 | -->'''Tyler''': And I'm [[ItMakesSenseInContext Na-Na]]. |
| 568 | -->'''Josh''': And I- what? |
| 569 | * FanficFuel: Invoked by Tyler, theorizing on why Mario doesn't appear in this game. His [[BiggerIsBetterInBed manhood]] was noticed by a guy at a gay bar, leading Mario to go into (straight) pornographic films. |
| 570 | * LaughingMad: Both Josh and Tyler during the Finale. [[spoiler: Josh, because he's just discovered that he's several levels behind Tyler, and Tyler, for the same reason]]. In [[CampStraight Tyler's]] case, this trope intersects with NoblewomansLaugh. |
| 571 | * OhCrap: Done in episode 1 several times by Josh. |
| 572 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: |
| 573 | ** In Episode 4, Tyler does this after nearly dying in Dragoneel Depths. |
| 574 | ** He does it again upon [[spoiler:defeating Bowser and winning the Versus]]. |
| 575 | -->'''Tyler''': [[LampshadeHanging How am I screaming like that?]] I didn't know I could still ''do'' that! |
| 576 | * SelfImposedChallenge: [[invoked]] Tyler and Josh declared that in addition to clearing a level, they have to collect at least one Star Coin before they can move on. |
| 577 | * SoundEffectBleep: |
| 578 | ** In episode 5, when Tyler says the N-word in a hypothetical context. |
| 579 | ** Used at one point to stop Josh from spoiling who lost ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Versus. |
| 580 | * TemptingFate: In the ''Ocarina of Time'' loser challenge, [[spoiler:Josh]] vehemently vows never to lose a Versus again. Literally two days after that was uploaded, guess what happens in the ''Luigi U'' finale? |
| 581 | * UnwantedAssistance: InUniverse, happens to Josh throughout episode 1, as he keeps getting slowed down due to winning prizes according to his level clear times. |

| 584 | [[folder:Super Mario Sunshine Versus 2]] |
| 585 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse, Tyler and Josh claim that Toadsworth is a Workaholic obsessed with licking butts. |
| 586 | * BrickJoke: [[spoiler: Falling off the final cloud at the end of [[ThatOneLevel "Fluff Festival Coin Hunt"]]]] becomes this as of this Versus, with both Josh and Tyler falling victim at least once each. |
| 587 | * TheBusCameBack: The rules play out more like Galaxy Versus. They even bring back one of the lifelines (Level Leaver). |
| 588 | * EpicFail: In episode 3, [[spoiler: Tyler]] replacing the hover nozzle with the turbo nozzle and then going to do the red coin mission of the Secret Shine of Bianco Hills, making his F.L.U.D.D entirely useless. |
| 589 | * LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics: This exchange, following Tyler's statement that he used [[InsaneTrollLogic "logic"]] to prove that Josh has a tiny dick. |
| 590 | -->'''Tyler''': Well, statistics state that, if your name starts with a "J", your cock is 97% smaller than everybody else's. |
| 591 | -->''[[RecordNeedleScratch (Music cuts out)]]'' |
| 592 | -->'''Josh''': Really? |
| 593 | -->'''Tyler''': [[BlatantLies ...Yes]]. |
| 594 | -->'''Josh''': ''(laughs uproariously)'' |
| 595 | * OhCrap: Done by [[spoiler: Josh]] in episode 3 when [[spoiler: Tyler used the Bipolar Controller lifeline against him.]] |
| 596 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Tyler drunkenly lets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqcm3IN_b60&t=29m40s one]] out upon dying in Episode 8. |
| 597 | * SentimentalDrunk: Unsurprisingly, both Tyler and Josh become this in the last several minutes of Episode 8 (a.k.a. "The Drunk Edition"). |
| 598 | * {{Troll}}: Like in Galaxy Versus, Tyler and Josh each get five different lifelines that they can use three times now: |
| 599 | ** Bipolar Controller: Like Wiiverse, The victim has to hold their controller awkwardly for five minutes. This time, upside-down. |
| 600 | ** Level Leaver: Same as before. |
| 601 | ** Mission Tradition: The victim has to re-do a mission they've already completed, but it has to be one from a previous episode, one they haven't been forced to re-do, and they can't do 100-coin missions. |
| 602 | ** Coin Collector: The victim is required to collect 25 coins to complete the level. If the level does not have that many, then they have to collect 25 coins from Delfino Plaza. And it can't be used when going for a 100-coin mission or change the shine they're going for to one if it's used on them. |
| 603 | ** [=H2NO=]: The victim cannot use FLUDD for five minutes. And if they accidentally do, a minute is added to the penalty. |
| 604 | * YankTheDogsChain: In episode 20, Tyler is looking to get the Fluff Festival Red Coin shine (as in, directly in front of it), one that infamously gave him a lot of trouble in the first versus on his first try, [[spoiler: then Josh uses Bipolar Controller and makes him fall off.]] However, Tyler [[LaserGuidedKarma pays it back by doing more or less the same thing to Josh next episode]], leaving him in StunnedSilence. |

| 607 | [[folder:Super Mario Galaxy 2 Versus]] |
| 608 | * ContinuityNod: In episode 24, Josh and Tyler play a game of "Twenty Questions", which they hadn't done since the original ''Super Mario Sunshine Versus''. |
| 609 | * CurbStompBattle: The finale, in [[spoiler:Tyler]]'s favor. He wins by such a large margin that [[spoiler:he's already in the credits by the time Josh starts the final level]]. |
| 610 | * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "This mud is so...muddy!" |
| 611 | * HopeSpot: |
| 612 | ** In Episode 30, [[spoiler:after trailing behind Tyler for much of the Versus, Josh finally catches up and retakes the lead. But he loses it again in the next episode, and goes on to lose the Versus]]. |
| 613 | ** [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in [[spoiler:the finale]]. |
| 614 | -->'''[[spoiler:Tyler]]''': I don't have any lives left, though, so if I die, I have to restart this level. |
| 615 | -->'''[[spoiler:Josh]]''': Good. |
| 616 | -->'''[[spoiler:Tyler]]''': I'm just kidding. I was trying to give you hope. |
| 617 | -->'''[[spoiler:Josh]]''': Fuck you! |
| 618 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: At the end of the versus, Tyler asks Josh if they should announce the next versus to the viewers. Josh's reply? |
| 619 | -->'''Josh:''' Let's tease them with a hint. ''({{Beat}})'' It's ''VideoGame/Splatoon1''. |
| 620 | * {{Irony}}: The outcome of the Versus. [[spoiler:This was Tyler's first time playing the game in years, while Josh had just recently LP'd it. Somehow, Tyler won.]] |

| 623 | |
| 624 | [[folder:Wind Waker HD Versus]] |
| 625 | * BrickJoke: In Episode 9, Josh accidentally went into the light, taking him back to the start of the Savage Labyrinth, which made Tyler have to pause. When he gets back, Tyler makes a KnockKnockJoke. Later in the episode, [[spoiler: [[EpicFail Josh goes into the light again.]] ]] Tyler pauses and makes the same exact joke again. |
| 626 | -->'''Tyler''': Knock knock. |
| 627 | -->'''Josh''': Who's there? |
| 628 | -->'''Tyler''': [[TooDumbToLive Josh is a dumbass.]] |
| 629 | * CurbStompBattle: While the overall outcome is close, a few individual dungeons ([[spoiler:Dragon Roost Cavern, Tower of the Gods, Earth Temple]]) end up very one-sided, to the point that the loser's footage has to be sped up after the winner finishes. |
| 630 | * EpicFail: During the climb up to the FinalBoss in Ganon's Tower, Tyler jumps off the chandelier, forcing him to do the climb all over again. [[spoiler: This mistake cost him the game since he wasted about 40 seconds, the same amount of time Josh beat him by.]] |
| 631 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: The "I'm On A Boat" parody ends with Tyler singing "The odds are not favoring me" in regards to being about to enter the Tower of the Gods. In the actual video where Tyler and Josh play through the temple, [[EpicFail Tyler does horribly.]] |

| 636 | * ClusterFBomb: In episode 7, Josh unleashes one on a [[DemonicSpider powerful enemy]] in the game, with Tyler deciding to join in for the hell of it. |
| 637 | -->'''Josh''': Oh, you fucker! You motherfucker! You- |
| 638 | -->'''Tyler''': Oh, don't do it, you fucker! |
| 639 | -->'''Josh''': Don't you fucking fuck! ''(gets killed)'' Are you fucking...fuck?! |

| 642 | -->'''Tyler''': What the fucking fuck, you fuck?! |
| 643 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Josh]] becomes quite distraught upon losing the Versus. He even calls it his most upsetting loss yet, given how painfully close he was to winning. |
| 644 | * HopeSpot: In the finale, [[spoiler:Josh gets a big one when Tyler game-overs on the final boss. But the boss battle ends up taking much longer than Josh expected, allowing Tyler to catch up. And then Josh ''also'' game-overs, giving Tyler the win]]. |

| 648 | * ArcFatigue: InUniverse, Tyler regrets that this Versus went on as long as it did, and says it would have been a much better length without the lifelines. |
| 649 | * AuthorAppeal: This Versus was edited by Josh, who not only placed his screen in the center but made it ''bigger'' than Tyler's and Luke's. |
| 650 | * BigNo: Tyler lets out one in episode 13 when he [[spoiler: accidentally deletes his Growlithe's ember, the only fire move it had.]] |
| 651 | * ClusterFBomb: Near the end of the finale, [[spoiler:Josh lets one out when his rival uses a Full Restore, right as Josh is about to beat him]]. |
| 652 | * ContrivedCoincidence: In episode 2, Luke talks about how Muscles (the nickname for his Metapod) is evolving right after Josh talks about how his Muscles (the nickname for his Squirtle) is evolving. |
| 653 | * CripplingOverspecialization: |
| 654 | ** In the earlier episodes, Tyler spent so much time leveling up his Boobissore that it left the other pokemon he intended to use, Flappyvag the Spearow, and Peekatchu the Pikachu severely underleveled. |
| 655 | ** Josh spending most of his time leveling up his Blastoise and Nidoking [[spoiler: causes him to come in dead last in the Finale, as Tyler has, by this point, overcome his Overspecialization, while most of Josh's Pokemon were still horribly underleveled for the Elite Four]]. |
| 656 | * DarkHorseVictory: [[spoiler: While he doesn't ''win'', Tyler still manages to come from behind to beat Josh out for Second Place behind Luke after spending most of the Versus in a distant third]]. |
| 657 | * ElementalPowers: The starter pokemon that were chosen. |
| 658 | ** GreenThumb: Tyler's Boobissore the Bulbasaur. |
| 659 | ** MakingASplash: Josh's Muscles the Squirtle. |
| 660 | ** PlayingWithFire: Luke's Lizardon the Charmander. |
| 661 | * EpicFail: In Episode 7, when Tyler attempts to heal his Pikachu in a trainer battle, he accidentally uses a Pokeball instead. |
| 662 | * FreudianTrio: |
| 663 | ** Id: Tyler -- The loudest and most immature participant in the versus. The [[RedOniBlueOni red oni to Josh's blue oni.]] |
| 664 | ** Ego + Superego: Josh -- [[RedOniBlueOni Calmer, and more strategic than Tyler]], but is easy to anger and will frequently argue with Tyler. |
| 665 | ** Superego + Ego: Luke -- Calmest and most knowledgeable participant of the versus [[NotSoAboveItAll but can frequently act silly.]] Is often the mediator between Tyler and Josh. |
| 666 | * MagikarpPower: |
| 667 | ** Literally; Luke gets a Magikarp and trains it up to be a Gyarados. |
| 668 | ** In a Meta sense, [[spoiler: Tyler ends up catching up handily to Luke and Josh, and by the last episode manages to beat Josh for second place behind Luke after spending most of the versus underleveled and lagging behind]]. |
| 669 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: By the end of the versus Josh's [[{{Pun}} Muscles]] the Blastoise is the highest level Pokemon between the three, but [[spoiler: most of Josh's other Pokemon are too underleveled to be of any use, and he comes in dead last behind [[TheAce Luke]] and [[WeakButSkilled Tyler]]]]. |
| 670 | * NWordPrivileges: A DiscussedTrope in Episode 16 in reference to Tyler's nickname for his then newly-caught Nidoran♂, and the insistence of Luke and Josh that Tyler does not have them. |
| 671 | * OneTrueThreesome: {{Invoked|Trope}} and joked about frequently. |
| 672 | * PutOnABus: Luke decides to stop using his Muscles and puts it in the box in episode 6. |

| 684 | [[folder:Super Mario 64 4-Player Versus]] |
| 685 | * ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:Josh]]. The Versus goes disastrously for him, and he spends most of it in dead last. This is partly due to not having practiced the game, and partly due to losing track of which Stars he's already gotten. |
| 686 | * CurbStompBattle: |
| 687 | ** While [[spoiler:Tim and Jon]] have a close enough race for first place, they finish so far ahead of the others that by the time [[spoiler:Tyler]] takes third, [[spoiler:Tim]] is up to [[spoiler:85]] Stars. |
| 688 | ** In turn, [[spoiler:Tyler]] beats [[spoiler:Josh]] by twelve Stars. |
| 689 | * FaceHeelTurn: PlayedForLaughs with Tim, who (after [[spoiler:gaining a substantial lead over the others]]) breaks his NiceGuy persona and declares himself "the motherfuckin' antagonist". |
| 690 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Tyler is sanguine, Josh is melancholic, Tim is phlegmatic, and Jon is choleric. |
| 691 | * JumpScare: Audio example: in episode 3, Tim, completely out of nowhere, bursts into a brief but loud fit of hysterical laughter, startling the crap out of Josh and Tyler. |
| 692 | * RunningGag: Tyler advertising a fake channel for Jon, usually something that rhymes with Jon's username. |
| 693 | * TraumaCongaLine: As mentioned above, [[spoiler:Josh]] suffers heavily throughout the Versus. But the worst of it comes in Episode 4, where he makes the long climb up the inside of Shifting Sand Land's pyramid, only to fall back to the bottom when he's close to the Star. '''Twice'''. |

| 699 | * HyperCompetentSidekick: Even though he's player 2, Brutalmoose is much more competent at the game than Josh is. |

| 701 | * NeverMyFault: Josh often blames the game for his mistakes. |
| 702 | * RedOniBlueOni: Tyler and Josh are the red oni to Squill and Ian's blue oni. |

| 704 | * SelfDeprecation: When talking about how drinking alcohol can mentally damage the baby if a woman's pregnant, Tyler says how it explains a lot about himself. |

| 708 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoo3dRZnOKs&t=1390s Episode 12]], Tyler attempts to turn the conversation towards ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]''... but promptly gets distracted and spends the rest of the episode talking about other things. He even brings up his tendency to do this, [[FiveSecondForeshadowing right before it happens]]. |
| 709 | -->'''Tyler''': We always get off-track so quickly. *gets off-track* |
| 710 | * {{Catchphrase}}: Josh is prone to use "Amazing" in reference to various things. |
| 711 | * DownToTheLastPlay: The finale starts with Tyler and Josh almost at the same place, and [[spoiler:Tyler's total playtime ends up beating Josh's by less than 2 minutes]]. |
| 712 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69XcU1E4ysA&t=180s Near the start]] of the finale, they also [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] and discuss how often this happens in Versus. |

| 723 | ** Tyler saying he hasn't played the game starring whichever character they're using, yet still turning out to be better with that character than Josh is. |

| 727 | !!Event Mode |
| 728 | * BlatantLies: Josh claiming that he doesn't remember fighting Tyler in LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys Super Smash Bros tournament, and then claiming it never existed. Understandable seeing as how [[spoiler: [[CurbStompBattle Tyler beat Josh without losing a single life in it.]]]] |

| 762 | -->'''Tyler''': Yeah, I'm tired of you being so childish sometimes. |
| 763 | -->'''Josh''': WHAT THE FUCK?! |

| 766 | * ThatCameOutWrong: In the third episode, Josh refers to the player character as his "boy friend" (note the space). |
