6John "Nash" Bozard hosts ''What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?'', an internet show which focuses on various news stories of human stupidity and general what-the-fuckery. It began as a spin-off of Nash's live internet radio show ''[[http://radiodeadair.com/ Radio Dead Air]]'' and joined Website/ChannelAwesome after 17 episodes.
7
8The show follows a simple formula: the host introduces the episode's topic with a poorly drawn cartoon, then proceeds to lose his mind over the featured news stories and the episode ends with a [[MidReviewSketchShow sketch]] featuring some of the secondary characters. The live version, ''What the Fuck is Wrong With You?! Live'', is usually cohosted by Nash's longtime friend Tara Deenihan; when she's unavailable, it's others such as Dominic Noble, Luke "Rocked" Spencer, [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] or WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows.

10Following the shutdown of blip.tv, new episodes (as well as a good chunk of the archive) are posted on the Website/YouTube channel for ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF1RlCzsxiNMze2kPGK__yw Radio Dead Air]]'', with others archived on his Platform/{{Vimeo}} [[https://vimeo.com/radiodeadair channel]].

12----
13!!These works provide examples of:
14
15* AbuseOfReturnPolicy: One segment featured a suspicious customer returning ''used enemas''. In turn, Tara has mentioned incidents at Spencers Gifts in which customers returned products in extremely dubious condition - including sex toys - which her manager would simply put back out on the sales floor.
16* ActionGirl: In ''Dumber Than Curling,'' a man heckling the 2012 Summer Olympic Men's 100m finals is tackled by Judo bronze medalist Edith Bosch when he starts throwing things.
17* ActionInsuranceGag: Frequently whenever property damage to a vehicle or house occurs the hosts speculate on the owner of the vehicle having to report the damage to their insurance agency. You could make a drinking game for each time one of them parodies an insurance commercial.
18-->'''Nash''': "We are farmers. Bum da bum bum bum bum JESUS CHRIST!"
19* ActuallyPrettyFunny:
20** In his "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E1Castrovalva Castrovalva]]" review, he has this reaction to Tegan's line comparing a Zero Room, "a neutral environment, an isolated space cut off from the rest of the universe" to [[{{UsefulNotes/Australia}} Brisbane]]. He then asks, "[[GlobalIgnorance What's a Brisbane?]]"
21** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E1Robot Robot]]", he genuinely laughed at the Doctor's reasoning that Great Britain could be trusted with nuclear launch codes because "all the rest were foreigners".
22** The motorcycle gag from [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie The TV Movie]] made him laugh.
23** In general, in the Live WTFIWWY shows, he hates puns made by journalists and reporters in articles, and also frequently dislikes Tara's puns. But when there's one he likes, he'll acknowledge it. That, or he'll laugh his ass off.
24** In the 6/20/16 episode, there's a story about two [=EMTs=] who got into a fight, with one leaping into their ambulance and driving off while the other was dragged by the vehicle. There's an eyewitness who saw this, reporting that the EMT being dragged shouted [[{{Irony}} "Help me! Call 911!"]]; this makes Nash absolutely lose it.
25* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Every so often a story comes up that the writer managed to do it.
26-->'''Nash''': "The bare breasted brouhaha began...."
27* AgentMulder: Tara frequently comes up with outlandish explanations for the stories, usually with references to a movie or TV show.
28* AIIsACrapshoot: One of Tara's greatest fears; whenever there's a story about people misusing technology, she'll mention how humanity is basically asking for a [[RobotWar machine uprising.]]
29* AluminumChristmasTrees: In-universe, the Christmas 2012 live episode begins with showing a series of tweets expressing disbelief that reindeer exist.
30* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Surprisingly frequent stories of adults being far less mature than their kids by doing outrageous things such as getting into eight and twenty man brawls over spilled punch or a child taking too long to decide what prize to get, or assaulting a bus driver and dropping pants at police officers.
31* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: On April Fool's Day 2013, Nash hosted RDA in character as Space Guy.
32** One night required Tara to step in and host the show herself. [[note]]Nash was picking up Jake at the airport.[[/note]] This episode has since been referred to by fans as 'Radio Red Hair'.
33** Space Guy and The Fallen Angel (Tara, as a fallen angel), hosted Halloween 2014, as well. Space Guy's reaction to Hookerween is priceless.
34** In late April 2015, Nash was in Minnesota filming his part in ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWallTheMovie'', so the 4/25 episode was filmed in the hotel room with all the other Channel Awesome guys there, including Linkara, [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Brad Jones]], and [=MarzGurl=].
35* {{Angrish}}: ''Really'' strange or {{squick}}y news stories (or occasionally weird reactions from Tara) cause Nash to lose the power of speech.
36--> '''Tara:''' I can't tell if I've lost your sound, or if you're just apoplectic beyond speech.
37** Argle-fargle-blargle!
38--->'''Nash:''' That's not an issue with the teleprompter; that's the best summation I can make of what actually happened!\
39'''Nash:''' And in a minute, you'll understand why I couldn't come up with a better segue.
40** [''after a chain of flubbed words''] "I can say words..."
41* {{Anvilicious}}: The social commentary [[InvokedTrope in]] "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E2TheHappinessPatrol The Happiness Patrol]]" is thumpingly unsubtle:
42--> '''Nash:''' Hmm...what's a good way to illustrate the point? [Thinks for a moment, then gets crushed by a falling caption reading "MESSAGE"] Yeah...that'll do it...
43** It returns during the Doctor's KirkSummation to beat him repeatedly over the head.
44* ApocalypseHow: Class X-4, thanks to Space Guy [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds trying to turn the filter back on.]]
45* AprilFoolsDay: Space Guy learns our wacky human ways with Special Guest Linkara.
46* ArmorPiercingResponse: In the 1/9/17 show, Nash asks why bank robbers are so bad at what they do. Tara's response is "Because if they were good at things, they wouldn't be robbing banks?" Nash is legitimately stumped at how much that makes sense.
47* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
48** In "Bad Idea Bonanza", he gives a brief history of the bad idea, giving examples such as invading Russia in the winter, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_Motor_Company#Downturn_and_bankruptcy trying to fund your car company with cocaine]], and [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames making video games based on movies]].
49** In his "It's Stupid At The Top" video, "Sometimes you'll be saddled with a guy whose idea of leadership is [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler invading Poland]], drilling in the Gulf of Mexico without checking the failsafes, or giving ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' ten [[PrecisionFStrike goddamned]] seasons."
50** When noting strong catalysts for the [[ItMakesSenseInContext Happy Flappy Equation]], he lists off hallucinogens, being on fire, and sitting through any movie [[TakeThat starring Andy Dick]]. His low thresholds for resisting Happy Flappy time - idiots, crazy persons, or actually being Andy Dick.
51** In the episode on alcohol, he notes that some causes for crazy are bad judgment, poorly planned choices, and country music. Also, mentioning binge drinking, frat parties, and Music/ThePogues.
52** In his review of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E3TerrorOfTheVervoids Terror of the Vervoids]], he lists off some of the terrible dangers the Doctor has faced, including Sea Devils, robots, rival Time Lords, and the insidious evil that is... Creator/RussellTDavies.
53** In the review of the failed ''Series/WonderWoman2011Pilot'' with [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] and [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]], we get this exchange:
54--->'''Film Brain''': So, in just under five minutes, this show has Wonder Woman violate the law, ignore basic rights, and the media ''aggrandises'' her with references to the worst torture scandal in US history.\
55'''Nash''': And all without the ''slightest'' hint of irony or self awareness.\
56'''Linkara''': And they ''completely'' rip off Creator/GrantMorrison's ''[[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Batman Incorporated]]!'' ...[[DefensiveWhat What]]?
57** In another [=Nash=]/[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]/[[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] collaboration, ''[[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 The Trial of the Incredible Hulk]]'', the trio gets carried away after a [[HamToHamCombat particularly overly-dramatic scene]]:
58--->'''[[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk David Banner]]''': I'm telling you that it's dangerous! I'm telling you that it's impossible!\
59'''[[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Matt Murdock]]''': And I'm telling you you have no choice! \
60'''Linkara''': [[Film/AFewGoodMen You want the truth? You can't]] ''[[Film/AFewGoodMen handle]]'' [[Film/AFewGoodMen the truth!]]\
61'''Nash''': [[{{Film/Malice}} You ask me if I have a God complex? I]] ''[[{{Film/Malice}} am]]'' [[{{Film/Malice}} God!]]\
62'''Film Brain''': [[{{Music/Beyonce}} If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it!]]\
63'''Linkara and Nash''': [[StunnedSilence ...]]
64** When Nash and Tara covered a story about a man who got jail time for robbing two girls running a lemonade stand [[FromBadToWorse after they gave him a free drink]], Tara makes this observation:
65--->'''Tara:''' And let's picture your first day in the yard. 'What are you in for?' 'Grand theft auto.' 'What are you in for?' 'Aggravated assault.' [[RuleOfThree 'What about you?']] ''({{Beat}})'' 'I robbed a lemonade stand, stole some money from some kids.' [[EvenEvilHasStandards Guess who's getting his shit kicked in?]]
66** Frequently inverted, as seen in the page quote.
67* ArtisticLicenceBiology: A live episode had Nash claiming that the Loris was the only poisonous/venomous mammal; in reality, the male platypus is ''notorious'' for the highly-venomous (and extremely painful) spurs on his legs, while many shrews have venomous saliva. Admittedly, this instance is due to the fact that Nash wasn't working on a script at the time; in the scripted episode "All Creatures Great And Dumb," he actually brought up the Platypus' poison spurs.
68* AscendedExtra: WebVideo/JesuOtaku, originally a guest, became something of a permanent fixture of Nash's live shows from early-ish 2012 until he moved to the West Coast in mid-2013.
69* AssShove:
70** The "Monkeys" episode has it off-screen, but he got a banana shoved up his down-below. He's seen in a later episode needing to sit down gently on a cushion.
71** A recurring topic is people putting various objects in their orifices. "It's not a bag of holding, people!"
72** The best example was a woman high on meth putting a ''loaded'' .22 pistol '''barrel first''' up her vagina.
73*** And the man doing 90 with a .38 Caliber REVOLVER UP HIS ASS.
74*** And the guy who ended up in the hospital with an undetonated WORLD WAR II MORTOR up there. [[BlatantLies He claimed he fell on it.]]
75*** And the woman who was hospitalized from a SHOT GLASS that was, shockingly, put through her urethra into her bladder. And stayed there for four years.
76** The last show of the year traditionally features "That Doesn't Go There," a retrospective of items people have shoved up their various orifices, including their asses. A [[{{Pun}} rectal-spective]], if you will.[[note]]'Rectal-spective' was coined by Greg Sepelak (Sunny Jim's puppeteer) of [[WebVideo/TheIsleOfRangoon Isle of Rangoon]]. Can't blame the tropers here for that one.[[/note]]
77* AtomicFBomb: Nash's reaction to [[spoiler:a mother convincing her own daughter that she had terminal cancer as part of a scam]] during ''Christmas Goat War'' is just to yell FUCK at the top of his lungs.
78* AttackAttackRetreatRetreat: During his LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'', Nash is so horrified by the BodyHorror of [[spoiler:Frau Engel's shattered, bloody face]] that he blurts out "I don't wanna play anymore!" Then a minute later he's handed the controls of a MiniMecha and says "I take it back, I wanna play forever!"
79* BadLiar: How many of the criminals get caught.
80* BadToTheBone: When he decides to break the laws of science, the TropeNamer song is played.
81* BatterUp: In "It's Not A Pocket," a grandmother lays waste to a naked home invader with a baseball bat.
82* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Luke wished for a week without a poop story. He got that. That week instead had a story about [[spoiler: exploding tubes of bull semen.]]
83* BearsAreBadNews: How much worse? A bear takes over Space Guy's ship!
84** Also, the story of a guy who decided to kill a bear to wear its skin.
85-->[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Number one, it's a bear. Number two, it's a bear. Number three, and probably most important... HOLY SHIT, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! IT'S A GODDAMNED BEAR!]]
86** In a Live WTF from July 2011, "Furry Batmobile", featuring Obscurus Lupa, she and Nash are nearly broken by a story about patrons at a Colorado Burger King feeding fast food to bears in the parking lot. What's more, the title of the episode itself came from a comment by Nash comparing bears to [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy the Tumbler Batmobile.]]
87** Also, the episode where bears are getting high off of jet fuel barrels.
88** Nash frequently likens bears to furry tanks as a warning for those that mess with them.
89** Nash once stated this verbatim in the live episode "The Bear Masquerade" from August 17, 2015.
90* BerserkButton: Tara has made it known that she ''hates'' having her name spelled wrong, especially when it's blatantly obvious how it's supposed to look. If someone does misspells her name online, she will often focus in on and criticize them on her Twitter.
91** Don't wear orange around Tara on St. Patrick's Day.
92* BestialityIsDepraved: Examples range from the women who died from having sex with a German Shepherd, to the man who argued it was his constitutional right to rape a donkey, to the man who wrote a book about his love affair with a dolphin, and the documentary aptly called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Donkey Love]], about donkeys and the men who love them. [[{{Squick}} Like that.]]
93** And the farmer whose security cameras caught two men making pornography with his cows.
94*** Or the story on the live episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQmZaPEblyo "Buttmunchausen Syndrome"]] about a man who had been stalking his ex-wife, only for police to find ''fish porn'' on his cell phone.[[note]]And that was a ''rejected story'' for the episode.[[/note]]
95* BetterByADifferentName: Nash insists on referring to the Mogarians in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E3TerrorOfTheVervoids Terror of the Vervoids]]" as "[[Music/DaftPunk Daft-Punkians]]", and ends up setting part of the episode as a video for "Around the World".
96* BigDamnHeroes: A few stories feature these. The best one was when a group of teenagers ganged up and beat the crap out of a wannabe kidnapper who attempted to abduct two children. For bonus points, the parents had yelled at the teenagers for swearing around their kids.
97-->'''Tara''' (as a teenager) "Learned your fucking lesson didn't ya?"
98* BillBillJunkBill: From the "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E1TimeAndTheRani Time and the Rani]]" review:
99--> '''Nash:''' Okay, what have we got here? Awful news, awful news, awful news, awf--[[HeadTiltinglyKinky how would that even]] ''[[HeadTiltinglyKinky fit]]'' [[HeadTiltinglyKinky in there]]? Awful news...
100* BlankWhiteEyes: Humperdink the hippo has a pair of these as his original eyeballs fell off a long time ago.
101* BodyHorror: Tara's leg hole. It started off as a spider bite, and then formed into a large black abscess that ended up turned out to be '''''necrotic fat'''''. When it was removed, it ended up making a hole in her leg an inch and a half ''deep''. As some added fun, it also gave her MRSA.
102* BookEnds: From Episode 33 - This Is All YOUR Fault (The Return):
103--> '''''At the beginning of the "normal" part of the episode'''''
104--> '''Nash:''' Hmm. Well, nobody's here and frankly, I've been so busy that I haven't had any time to research any news stories. So, I guess we'll just call it a da-
105--> '''Nash's Computer:''' You've Got Mail!
106--> '''Nash:''' ''({{beat}})'' So hey, guess we'll just call it a da-
107--> '''Nash's Computer:''' You G-Got, You G-Got, You G-Got Mail, G-Got Mail, G-Got Mail!
108--> '''Nash:''' [[PrecisionFStrike ...fuck.]]
109--> '''''At the end of the episode'''''
110--> '''Nash:''' I feel FREE! Like, like I'm never going to know stress again!
111--> ''({{beat}})''
112--> '''Nash's Computer:''' You G-Got, You G-Got, You G-Got Mail, G-Got Mail, G-Got Mail!
113* BraggingRightsReward: Getting a request played on Radio Dead Air.
114** Getting quoted during the WTFIWWY live segment.
115*** Having your quoted line used for the WTFIWWY episode title.
116* BreakingTheFourthWall: During a reader Q&A segment, Nash answers the question of "Why does Arlo look like Nash?" with "Because Arlo is a character. That I play." This happens shortly after Space Guy, who is also played by Nash, remains in-character to answer the question of "Why does Space Guy look like Nash?"
117* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: People shoplifting meat by stuffing it down their pants? People stripping naked in public? Classic stories. And then there was the guy who stuffed rib-eye down his pants and stripped naked while fleeing the cops.
118* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Often used to segue the next story.
119* BrickJoke: A common feature in the introductory cartoons. Ship made of blowjobs and whiskey, anyone?
120* CallBack:
121** In "Hate the Gamer, Not The Game", Lupa offhandedly references [[http://phelous.com/2009/12/17/obscurus-lupa/obscurus-lupa-presents/olp-masterminds-christmas/ an encounter with Patrick Stewart]].
122** One episode of ''WTFIWWY'' featured a Florida man getting arrested for practicing dentistry without a license. Much later, there was an article about a ''woman'' getting arrested for the same thing, and Nash and Tara realized she was the man's girlfriend.
123* TheCameo:
124** Nash plays Jesus in the ''Apocalypse 4: Judgment'' review by WebVideo/DiamandaHagan.
125** Appears in [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] review of ''ComicBook/TheStarWars'', in response to a character named "Senator Nash".
126** Appears in the title card of another of Linkara review, this time strangling a superhero commissioned by the state of Florida to help as a PSA for orange growers.
127** Appears as part of a visual gag during the [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Nostalgia Critic]] review of ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPlutoNash'', alongside a photo of the dwarf planet Pluto. He remarks that its' still a more thought out gag than anything in the film.
128* CaptainObvious: When Nash explains the flaws in someone's reasoning, he often has to state the bleeding obvious.
129* CarefulWithThatAxe: Nash used a very-shouty version of "Crazy" for Episode 35.
130* CarMeetsHouse: A recurring story, occasionally pizza is involved.
131** A May 2011 story describes a man driving a dump truck into an occupied condominium.
132* CarryABigStick: The August 8, 2011 episode has the story of a man who attempted to rob a 7-Eleven with a tree branch.
133* ChimneyEntry: This is a recurring problem. People will try to get into houses via the chimney and invariably get stuck, often necessitating the help of the local police and fire departments.
134* ComedicSociopathy: "How to be a Better Criminal" with Tara and any stories of her HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood.
135* {{Crossover}}:
136** He did one with [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] reviewing the failed ''Film/{{Justice League|OfAmerica}}'' PilotMovie.
137** And another with [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] on [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977 Incredible Hulk]] vs. [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]. An episode of WTFIWWY also crosses over with WebVideo/JesuOtaku about weird news stories in Japan.
138*** Nash, Linkara, and Film Brain then teamed up to review the failed ''Series/WonderWoman2011Pilot''. [[RunningGag Pants were darkened.]]
139*** This same team went on to review Trial Of The Incredible Hulk.
140*** The trio was joined by [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]] in their review of the ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'' pilot, though Justin's untimely death caused this video to be delayed.
141** A WTFIWWY version of Doctor Who Classic has Nella join him.
142** Kyle Kallgren and Jew Wario have been guests on WTFIWWY--Kyle more than once.
143* CountryMatters: When Arlo tries to succeed his show with "Arlo's [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pony]] Paradise," he falls from enlightenment with a cry of "[[Film/BladeTrinity cock-juggling thunder]][[CurseCutShort cuuu-]]!"
144* CoveredInGunge: The subject of the title story of "New Goddess Religion" was seen to have fled from his hiding place inside the tank of a porta-john covered in poop and open wounds. Nash jokes about the CDC calling the police department and asking to study him from all the diseases he no doubt contracted.
145** And just a couple months later a drunk driver deliberately soaked himself in human waste.
146* CozyVoiceForCatastrophes: Nash considers [[Radio/APrairieHomeCompanion Garrison Keilor's]] voice the equivalent of three beers and a sleeping pill, and considers his voice dangerous to listen to while driving. To the point where he accuses the man's voice (semi-jokingly) of causing traffic accidents.
147* CurseOfThePharaoh: When COVID hit, stories featuring archeological excavations of tombs and burial sites popped up. Nash and Tara's thoughts? "Put it back!"
148* CutLexLuthorACheck: Discussed in the commentary of ''Film/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'', where Linkara wonders why the [[BigBad Weatherman]] doesn't patent the weather-controlling technology and make millions in agriculture.
149* DamnedByFaintPraise: When a story is prefaced with, "The idea was novel," that doesn't mean the subject was any smarter than the others.
150* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In "I Need That Lady's Leg," Nash and Tara discuss leaving a building after buying a new car...and searching for your old one in the parking lot out of force of habit.
151* DefiantStrip: Occasionally seems to be the reason for the naked stories.
152* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "This next one's from Canada, and it's from the Department of Obvious Stupid is Obvious."
153* DepravedDentist: They keep getting stories of unlicensed dentists. One was the wife of a guy who had been arrested for such doing so... Who was featured on the previous episode.
154** Tara had experienced one when she was a child. Or at least an incredibly incompetent. He managed to [[NightmareFuel snap two of her teeth in half while removing her braces.]]
155* DidntThinkThisThrough: Stories about this are the show's bread and butter.
156* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Literally.
157* DisproportionateRetribution: Subtle case on "Weekend At Bernie's 3;" Nash segues to the "[[OfCorpseHesAlive corpse abuse]]" case with a dissertation on mourning the dead. Tara was completely unaware as to where it was going, but dreading it just the same. She responds by [[spoiler:using the story as a springboard to discuss her rather strange proposal for Nash's funeral. Later, during the "what have we learned" segment, she brings up an unrelated story involving public urinals.]] Nash is completely broken.
158** "It's a Bomb" has a woman who hit her boyfriend with a frying pan because he wouldn't let her borrow a razor.
159** August 8, 2011's episode features a business owner attacking an employee with an axe for [[DisproportionateRetribution allegedly stealing quarters.]]
160* DIYDisaster: "Do It (To) Yourself."
161* DoItYourselfPlumbingProject[=/=]DoomItYourself: Somehow, at one Arby's restaurant, if the kitchen sink is on, a jet of steam shoots up from the urinal. Yes, someone [[GroinAttack got burned while using it.]] By the time Nash got a hold of the story, ''it had happened before''.
162* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Regardless of how cute and cuddly he seems.
163--> '''Nash''': Aren't you a cute little [[EldritchAbomination Elder god and destroyer of worlds]]? Yes you are. Yes you are. Yes you- [[OhCrap Uh-oh]]...
164* DontSneakUpOnMeLikeThat: Tara's arm was bitten by Simba, a skittish cat at the pet center in which she volunteers.
165* DonutMessWithACop: Discussed in "Hard Packed Snow", when a story comes up about cops chasing a man who stole a donut truck.
166* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: During his [[http://radiodeadair.com/2011/02/08/wtfiwwy-episode-22/ 2011 Valentines day special]], he covered a story about a guy who got his [[GroinAttack crotch purposely torched]] [[DomesticAbuse by his girlfriend]]. Nash starts mocking the guy in question, and proclaims that he [[TheUnfairSex probably deserved it anyway.]].
167* DoWrongRight: When stories about StupidCrooks crop up, Tara tends to go on "How to be a Better Criminal" rants.
168* DramaQueen: Expect at least [[OnceAnEpisode Once An Episode]] for someone to attack someone or go on a rampage over some minor slight or inconvenience.
169* DrinkingGame: In the RDA chat, the common reaction to stories that come from Florida is to take a shot.
170** On the rare occasion that there ''isn't'' a story out of Florida for the week, the reaction is to ''down the bottle''.
171** When someone asks when WTFIWWY is going to start, take a drink. This is [[AscendedMeme even referenced to]] in the official Radio Dead Air FAQ.
172** The full rules for the drinking game the RDA regulars have can be found [[http://tinyurl.com/RDA-DrinkingGame here.]] Nobody's died yet!
173* DrivesLikeCrazy: Vehicular stupidity is a recurring segment.
174** The rare wheelchair variant comes up in the episode "Open With The Handy". Nash recounts a story about going to a convention, and seeing Creator/AnneMcCaffrey driving her wheelchair at max speed down the hallway, sending congoers flying out of her way. She also ran over Nash when they sat down to lunch.
175-->'''Nash:''' ''[as [=McCaffrey=]]'' I wrote ''Literature/DragonridersOfPern'', [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitcheeeeees]]!
176* DuctTapeForEverything: Averted. As Nash said in one story, "Duct tape is not a paternal tool!" IIRC the story involved a parent duct-taping a kid to his chair.
177** And then played straight with [[RunningGag Tara telling a story]] about how someone she knew had to duct tape their kids' diaper on him, as he kept taking it off otherwise.
178* [[invoked]]DudeNotFunny:
179** During a live show, they covered a story where gun sales were going up because people were allegedly [[SincerityMode preparing for a zombie attack.]] Tara compares it to NORAD tracking Santa Claus and Nash throws out there might be children watching.
180---> '''Nash''': Right at this moment, there's one person who's watching this with their eight-year-old child in the background, which they shouldn't be...
181---> '''Tara''': Nobody should be watching this with children anywhere near.
182---> '''Nash''': ...and that child just looked up and said, "Mommy, what does she mean, Santa's not real?"
183---> '''Tara''': Don't do that to me. I have nieces and nephews. Don't do that to me- don't hang that on me. I will ''lose sleep'' over that shit.
184** Just after the January 28th ''WTFIWWY Live'', Nash remarked that apparently someone thought it would be funny to launch a DDOS attack on him...while he and his friends were mourning Jew Wario's death. He takes some solace in the fact that whomever did it probably had to spend money to do so, and all they did in the end was make him update his security.
185* DueToTheDead: A lot of stories involve people not following this trope. Once someone was selling an antique coffin.... with the former owner still in it.
186** Also Tara's plans for Nash's funeral involves defying this trope. It involves getting him a bunch of lap dances, hilarious ''Film/WeekendAtBernies'' like scenarios, and finally taking him to Japan [[ImAHumanitarian for all the mourners to eat him.]]
187* EarlyBirdCameo: Before becoming a permanent co-host on the live WTFIWWY show, Tara appeared in recorded episode #5 as Sally in the "Beauty and the Modern Woman" 50's PSA parody.
188* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first four years of Radio Dead Air were broadcast with Nash in-character as his Camarilla character from his ''[[TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness World of Darkness]]'' campaign. As Nash [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=130&t=24678&p=334899#p334899 recounts on the TGWTG forum]], the combination of [[TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness White Wolf resetting the whole of]] ''World of Darkness'' and RDA getting big-time interviews in 2004 led him to drop the character and do the show as himself early the next year.
189* EldritchAbomination: Nash theorises that [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos the Dark Lord Cthulhu]] is the product of a man and a [[ILoveTheDead dead]] [[BestialityIsDepraved squid.]] [[BrainBleach OH GOD MY MIND!]]
190* EpicFail: Regarding "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E2InvasionOfTheDinosaurs Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]":
191--> '''Nash:''' Imagine, if you will, attempting to shoot the broad side of a barn and not only missing, but somehow managing to set your own balls on fire in process...
192* EqualOpportunityOffender: If someone does something stupid enough to get covered on this show, they're fair game.
193* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: When Arlo describes his family's Christmas traditions.
194** About half-way through Arlo's description, the subtitles change to crying emoticons.
195* EvenEvilHasStandards:
196** Discussed on a couple occasions, usually when somebody goes to jail for [[WouldHurtAChild mistreating or hurting a child]]. Tara, whose mother worked as a parole officer for many years, pointed out that in general, prisoners do not tolerate people who harm kids in any way.
197** One car thief realized that a child was in the back seat of the stolen car. He returned, scolded the mother for leaving their kid unattended in a car, then drove off.
198* EveryoneHasStandards: While WTFIWWY is known for covering crazy, funny or stupid news stories for the fun of it, Nash has made it clear that there are limits to what topics will be covered on the show. Namely, [[https://twitter.com/nash076/status/1409664138897330181 anything involving death, sexual assault, child abuse or serious maiming are absolutely off the table]], since those topics aren’t ever funny in real life.
199* EverybodyLives: Nash & Tara try to make sure that they cover stories where no one is killed or even seriously injured as a result of what happens in said Story. The two rarely break this rule, if at all.
200* FaceDoodling: Stick Boy does that to a drunken Nash.
201* FacePalm: Nash often does this in response to the rampant stupidity.
202--> "[[GonnaNeedMoreX NOT ENOUGH FACEPALM!]]"
203* FailedASpotCheck: The only way to explain numerous examples of these stories. On both the perpetrators and bystanders.
204* FanDisservice: On January 19th, 2015, Nash played the official music video for Music/BigData's "Dangerous (Feat. Music/{{Joywave}})". The video featured [[GirlOnGirlIsHot hot young women in exercise clothing making out with each other]]...[[{{Gorn}} after violently headbutting homeless and elderly people, and still covered in gore]]. He promptly announced that he would never show the video on the stream again.
205* FlatWhat: Nash's reaction to some of the tamer stories. Also, he reacted to Arlo's first appearance with a flat "the fuck".
206** Occurred in the 10/31/11 episode when Tara reveals she has [[spoiler:hippos in costumes]].
207** In the 2/11/12 episode, Tara could only respond to a story of a bank robber who wussed out when a teller didn't understand his demand of "give me what is 20s and 50s" with not one, but two utterances of "...what?".
208** Upon hearing that one of the characters in ''Film/DrWhoAndTheDaleks'' [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer was actually]] ''[[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer named]]'' [[Series/DoctorWho Doctor Who instead of the original name (The Doctor)]], he let out one of these.
209* FlippingTheTable: Nash does this during his [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E1Castrovalva Castrovalva]] review.
210* FryingPanOfDoom:
211** "It's a Bomb" features a woman arrested for assaulting her boyfriend with a frying pan.
212* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
213** While [=JesuOtaku=] was a regular fixture on the show, he could be seen goofing around in all manner of strange ways. Notably, he really emotionally lipsynced to the WTFIWWY theme music every time it came up.
214** After one of Tara's moves, her nephew's kitten Bridget began upstaging the show by acting all kitten-like behind Tara.
215** Miracle, Tara's old deaf kitty would occasionally meow extremely loudly.
216** Nash's cat Grady has progressed from being camera-shy to being Bridget's replacement in the background insanity role.
217* FunnyConceptionStory: One episode has Nash point out to Tara how a lot of their friends just so happen to have kids whose birthdays fall nine months after ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' conventions. Tara follows up this train of thought by claiming that most of the kids were probably [[KinkyRolePlaying conceived in-character]].
218* FullFrontalAssault: "Naked Rampage" is a recurring theme on the show.
219** One man left his bed naked to confront the thief who'd broken into his place. Said thief muttered an apology and jumped out the window. The power of naked can be used for good, people!
220* GoMadFromTheRevelation: "What, you never sat in the shower and made train noises?"
221** From his review of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E3TerrorOfTheVervoids Terror of the Vervoids]], we get [[spoiler:Zodan the Unbounceable.]]
222** In the 7/04/11 Live WTFIWWY, Nash realized he'll never run out of material and has excellent job security. This isn't a good thing.
223** In the New Years' Episode ("And Never Brought To Mind"), he encounters a story so mind-numblingly nonsensical, he can only come to one conclusion:
224-->'''Nash:''' You know what that means! [Picks up a Mallet] I've finally got my insanity plea! Look out, neighbours! [Proceeds to smash things off-camera while cheerfully singing 'Working On The Railroad']
225** Nash and Tara came to this conclusion about a man who racked up nine serious felonies over the course of an 11 hour period. And at one point he was crying histarically, and another dressed up as a female hotel maid. While the man was waiting for his next Greyhound bus.
226--> '''Tara:''' How bad was that fucking bus ride?
227* GenreBlindness: Some people to reality. Usually due to stupidity and/or drugs.
228* GenreSavvy: Tara says that in Florida you should always be expecting some naked guy to show up.
229* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Tara mentions she has no experience with [[ItMakesSenseInContext pleasuring a woman or masturbating in a Wal-Mart.]] Nash immediately states that she just disappointed fanfiction writers the world over.
230* AGoodNameForARockBand:
231** In the Live ''What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?'' of 06/21/11, after reading the headline ''Man allegedly wounded by two 'booty call ninjas''', Tara says that she will create a white girl rap group called ''Booty Call Ninjas''.
232** From WTFIWWY Live - Right Turn, Clyde - 5/7/12: '''Anthrax vagina attack'', which is a great punk band name, by the way.'
233** After hearing a story about a woman with an unusual hiding place for a pistol, Tara wants to start an all-girl punk band called "Fully Automatic Vaginas".
234** April 13th, 2015 gives us "Bedazzled Fucksaw", after a discussion about apparently ''taking the blade off a saw and attaching a dildo to it.''
235** In a similar vein, the March 3, 2014 WTFIWWY Live gave us "Meth Mango", which Nash said sounded like the name of a nightclub.
236** October 13th 2014's discussions about the origin of Tara's leg hole led to Nash declaring "Necrotic Fat" to be a good name for a Screamo band.
237** August 3rd, 2015 gave us "Badger Rehab", after a story about a badger stealing and drinking a bottle of beer.
238* GroinAttack:
239** The final two stories of "Tainted Love" both involve something bad happening to a man's equipment. You have been warned.
240** In "Land Of The Rising DUMB", a rabid Domo-kun the internet sent after Nash for badmouthing Japan chomped on Nash's man area and the only way WebVideo/JesuOtaku could get it off was by kicking said area.
241** [[GoMadFromTheRevelation Zodan the Unbouncable]] and an electric shock. Ouch.
242** The fate of the narrator of the 1950s beauty film in Episode 5 "I'm Too Sexy For My Brain."
243** From "Don't Mess with the Amish," a man was forced to walk naked through town with a brick tied to his penis after kidnapping and forcibly marrying a minor.
244** At least one story featured a man accidentally shooting off his own penis.
245* GrowingTheBeard: [[InUniverse Nash considers]] Episode 4 of What The Fuck Is Wrong With You? to be when he locked the show's formula and everything started to gel together. [[invoked]]
246* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: To break twenty-eight inmates out of prison, a woman arrived with bondage gear, soon drugging, seducing, and handcuffing the trio of prison guards.
247* GuestHost: After Nash is assaulted by monkeys in one episode, Space Guy takes his place in the next episode while he recovers off-screen.
248** On live WTF, a guest co-host does the show whenever Tara is unavailable. Previous guest hosts include [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]], WebVideo/ObscurusLupa, [[WebVideo/WarningReadersAdvisory Derek The Bard]], [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]], WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows, [[WebVideo/{{Rocked}} Luke]], and Nash's producer, Mike Gearman. Creator/DougWalker has co-hosted the show with Tara and Nash on one occasion, as did [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]. WebVideo/JesuOtaku appeared for 3-host Live [=WTFs=] whenever the show was broadcast from his old house, and intermittently since he moved to South Carolina.
249** There was a time when Tara hosted the live show (not WTFIWWY) when Nash had to pick up JO from the airport. That night the show was known as "Radio Red Hair" and inspired fans to encourage Tara to begin her own show, the results of which are pending. (as of 2013)
250* GuyOnGuyIsHot[=/=]YaoiFangirl: In the episode "Don't Hold Your Breath," Tara tries to convince Nash that Disney needs to buy the rights back for the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' franchise, just so [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron The Avengers 2]] can have a scene where Creator/HughJackman and Creator/ChrisEvans wrestle scantily-clad in a kiddie pool full of pudding. In the event that she gets a life-threatening illness, she wants to start a Twitter campaign so it will happen. Nash does not approve of this.
251* HarsherInHindsight: [[invoked]] Nash is fully aware that his crossover review of ''Doctor Strange'' featuring [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Jew Wario]] may stray into this territory, particularly the parts where Jew Wario [[spoiler:wakes up in the hospital after being in a coma. Twice.]] When he posted the video (two months after Justin's suicide), Nash prefaced it with a message to his fans, explaining why he felt the video was important to share with everyone.
252* HeadDesk: During 'This Is All Your Fault (The Return!)', Nash goes out to his garden shed, busts out some power tools, and ''builds a section of wall'' just so he can bash his head against it in protest of the stupid.
253* HelplessWithLaughter: Nash is well-known for extended bouts of laughter, especially when it comes to Tara's antics.
254** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTEZb7Plpt0 The Mystery Pooper]]," they're covering a story in which an unknown man spent the last ten years crapping in the holes of a golf course, whereupon Tara happens to mention that her backyard borders a golf course and that the idea to take a dump on it never occurred to her. A few moments later, Tara's husband Dan [[FunnyBackgroundEvent sneaks into view with a roll of toilet paper in hand]]; Nash cracks up and goes on laughing for ''forty seconds.''
255** A rare non-Nash example occurs in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epNgeNrImns&t=919s The Whizzinator]]" episode, in which a man attempted to use a fake penis to pass a urine test; Linkara, Nash's co-host for the day, is rather nonplussed by the whole story... up until Nash wonders aloud if the fake penis was supposed to be a hands-free device operated via the clapper. Linkara breaks down in a fit of wheezing giggles that leaves him almost sobbing into his hands.
256--->'''Linkara:''' I think you broke me.
257** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtgrPM0p80g&t=1193s Adieu, Black Friday]]," a news story from Bavaria mentions a giant phallic monument being unexpectedly stolen from an alpine hiking trail. Tara remarks "maybe it just got cold out," and Nash ''loses it,'' leaving the show held up for the next thirty seconds.
258* HeyThatsMyLine: Nash's reaction when Tara "steals" his "I have never been so drunk" line in the 6/4/12 Live episode.
259** One of his prerecorded episodes also features a story that uses the phrase "From the 'we-couldn't-make-this-up-if-we-tried' department..." Nash reacts appropriately.
260* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Tara, though it was mostly self-inflected. She and her sister got drunk at six because her parents left out a bottle of champagne. She burned off her fingertips by playing with an old lamp, also at six. She bit off her lip by falling down some stairs at age three. She got her head stuck in an iron fence at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney World]] at age seven. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Spent years of having to deal with people sing to her "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"]] after knocking her teeth out at the same time time as biting her lip off. Her mother had to rotate Emergency Rooms for fear of being considered abusive.
261** Or it was someone other than her parents. Her childhood dentist was so incompetent that he [[TheToothHurts snapped two of her teeth in half removing her braces.]]
262** Nash to a lesser extent; once his father (accidentally) shot him.
263* HumanMail: An episode shows why you don't try this in [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome real life]] when a [[http://now.msn.com/hu-seng-a-chinese-man-nearly-suffocates-trying-to-mail-himself-to-his-girlfriend Chinese man]] tried to mail himself to his girlfriend and ended up getting lost in the mail for three hours and ended up suffocating. The channel points out he forgot [[Music/TheLonelyIsland step one, cut a hole in a box]].
264* HypocriticalHumor: In the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E10LoveAndMonsters "Love & Monsters"]] Review:
265--> '''Nash:''' This is our framing device for the show -- a v-log. Some guy sitting in front of a camera, telling the Internet about the Doctor. Who could possibly think this was interesting, or compelling, or [[HypocrisyNod I'm suddenly talking about myself, aren't I?]]
266* ICallItVera: Nash owns a custom Stratocaster he built himself, named Laura.
267* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The live sessions later posted to [=YouTube=] are named after a strange phrase uttered during the course of the episode.
268* IdiotBall: A good portion of Florida carries this. Nash says that you have to be GenreSavvy about that fact.
269-->'''Nash''' (As firefighter): "Why shouldn't we keep the firetruck keys in the firetruck? Only an idiot... Oh right. Florida."
270* ILikeMyXLikeILikeMyY: From the episode "Nimrods are Forever":
271--> '''Nash''': You know, I like my Irishmen like I like my coffee. [[Creator/EddieIzzard Covered in beeeeees]]!\
272* {{beat}}*\
273[[WorstWhateverEver Worst. Segue. Ever.]]
274* ImAHumanitarian:
275--> Hello, and welcome to "Cooking for Lunatics"! Today, we are going to be making ze baby back ribs with ze actual baby!
276* ImpossiblyCompactFolding: "New Goddess Religion" describes a man between 6'5" and 6'8"[[note]]between roughly 195 and 204 centimeters for metric users[[/note]] who somehow managed to squeeze himself into the tank of a porta-john. Even Nash expresses amazement he was able to fit inside the tank.
277** "It's a Bomb" tops this with a story, complete with photo, of a man whose girlfriend tried to smuggle him out of prison in a suitcase.
278* IncrediblyLamePun:
279** He tries a few for the villain's death in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E2TheHappinessPatrol The Happiness Patrol]]", then excuses himself with "I've been drinking".
280** From his first episode, on a story about mysteriously appearing sex toys:
281--->"'It's a real mystery; we have no idea where they came from,' Miss Bates said." Is there a ''Master'' Bates? *{{beat}}* Eh, f**k you. You were thinking the same thing!
282** Sometimes the featured articles have their fair share of puns, especially when they are about something really stupid, and Nash always comments on that.
283* InsistentTerminology: Nash never calls ''Series/TrueBlood'' by either the show's title, or by the book's title (''The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries''). It's always ''The Louisiana Crazy-Time [[VampiresAreSexGods Vampire]] [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Lesbian]] [[BestKnownForTheFanservice Titty Show]]''.
284* InsultBackfire: He's very resistant to garden variety internet trolling.
285-->'''Nash:''' After reviewing "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E4DaleksInManhattan Daleks in Manhattan]]" last week a lot of folks commented that it wasn't that bad, or they really liked it, or I was nickpicking or my face is stupid. All of these are valid points, but...
286* InteractiveNarrator: Sometimes Nash in the introductory cartoons.
287* TheInternetIsForCats: Lampshaded after Tara first manages to get her nephew's cat on screen. It would become something of a running gag in later episodes.
288-->'''Nash:''' You know, we're a ridiculous species because all it takes is to put a kitty cat on the internet and we lose our fucking minds.
289* TheInternetIsForPorn: Repeatedly Discussed. Every so often there is a story about someone watching porn in a public place. Another is that they say this trope word for word when someone acts out their fetishes in public.
290--> Nash: "Just watch porn! They will bring the porn to you!"
291--> Tara: " There are like a thousand Upskirt porn sites out there now. You don't have to make your own upskirt porn!"
292* IThinkYouBrokeHim: Or rather, "I think I broke him":
293-->'''Tara:''' I did it! I rendered [Nash] speechless! I've been working so hard.
294* KarmicDeath: In "It's a Bomb," (7/11/11), a woman molests a dog and promptly dies of an allergic reaction.
295* KickTheDog: Literally joked about in the 11/14/11 Live WTFIWWY: in response to Tara talking about how Ambien could make people [[WhatDidIDoLastNight do crazy things and not remember them the next day]], Nash claimed he could use the same excuse to get away with punting his neighbor's chihuahua over a building.
296* KidsDrivingCars:
297** "It's Not A Pocket" sees a drunk man arrested for having his eight-year-old son drive his whole family from Mississippi to ''Dallas, Texas.''[[note]]based on where they were caught, a distance of at least 500 miles, of which they'd already covered at least 75 before being pulled over.[[/note]]
298* {{Leitmotif}}:
299** Douchequakes are always accompanied by Music/{{Gunther|Singer}}'s ''Ding Dong Song''.
300** Arlo's appearances are always accompanied by a banjo riff.
301** Later appearances of the "time to do the math" gag are accompanied by the ''Chicken Dance'' song.
302* LetsPlay: Nash does playthroughs of games on stream sometimes. However, these are done on an alternate Twitch channel ([=Nash0762=]) because part of his original streaming deal with Twitch said that he couldn't archive the RDA episodes due to all the licensed music.
303* LimitedWardrobe: Nash always seems to wear a black t-shirt in every episode. For the non-live episode, he throws on a blue jacket.
304* LongRunner: ''What The Fuck is Wrong with You?'' has been going since 2010, and Nash's Radio Dead Air internet radio show (from which WTFIWWY spun off from) has been going since 2000; he's only missed a handful of broadcasts due to illness or weather in all that time.
305* LovecraftLite: Quite subverted.
306* MacGyvering: In the Episode "Aim for the Head" Nash says this.
307-->'''Nash''': "You can make a bong out of anything. Ah look at this cute puppy. I'll make a bong out of it. Hi Grandma! I'll make a bong out of it."
308** Averted by Tara when talking about a guy who was huffing Lysol in attempt to get high at a drug treatment center.
309-->'''Tara''': "Don't Series/{{MacGyver|1985}} your high. Nothing good will come from it. At best you'll just Film/{{MacGruber}} your high."
310** One German man made a fuel-air bomb out of an air-mattress and a bottle of Fix-A-Flat.... By Accident! [[note]]Pretty much he pumped fix-a-flat spray into his air mattress to fix a leak in it. Problem was that when he turned on the electric motor it wasn't dry yet and is flammable. So a spark from the motor ignited the spray inside an enclosed space. This let off a concussive wave that shattered every window and glass object in the house and threw the man across the room. Somehow without injury.[[/note]]
311* MadeOfIron: Every so often a story comes out where the person should be dead and walks away with minor injuries
312* ManiacMonkeys: The monkeys not only decide to take over the world, but they beat up Nash and shove a banana in ... um, an orifice [[AssShove other than his mouth.]]
313* MathematiciansAnswer: In the episode, "Land of the Rising DUMB."
314--> '''[=JesuOtaku=]''': Do you mean "innovative" or "going to make me sad?"\
315'''Nash''': *{{beat}}* Yes.
316** And from the live show episode "Drunk Monkey Taunting":
317--> '''Tara''': ''(regarding a hippo plushie that makes fart noises when squeezed)'' Is this better or worse than Disembodied Orgasm Hippo?\
318'''Nash''': ''(immediately)'' Yes.
319* MegatonPunch: One man wound up giving one to a bear that broke into his and his girlfriend's tent while they were sleeping.
320* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: At least a couple of stories have been about people who accidentally causes what happened in the story. And not through negligence or stupidity. One German man destroyed every window in his rental house and damaged nearby houses. By repairing an air mattress.
321* MirrorUniverse: In episode 30 it is revealed that a MirrorUniverse exists. A pink Stickboy (or Stickman) and Mirror Nash live in a mansion. Subverted; [[spoiler:as it turns out, 'our' Nash is the evil one; Mirror Nash had just completed a multi-episode special on ''Ghandi'' and refers to his Stickboy as "Stickman" because it's more dignified. Double subverted; our Nash shows Mirror Nash how being an ass sometimes can be both entertaining and therapeutic. This leads Mirror Nash to crack up into hysterics over his Stickboy being pink and deciding not to warn our Nash of an impending disaster, just because.]]
322* MoodWhiplash:
323** The discussion of Miracle's lymphoma diagnosis in "Ding Dong, It's My Ding-Dong" was interrupted by Grady's FunnyBackgroundEvent antics.
324** "The Hamburger" has Tara interrupted from her story of seeing Puppetry of the Penis in LA by Dottie, and then resuming the story after holding the cat to the camera briefly. Nash immediately lampshades this when Dottie is put down.
325* MushroomSamba: Nash tries (in-universe) [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylenedioxypyrovalerone bath salts]]. It doesn't seem to be working... until his friend next to him apparently turns into a werewolf and shouts I AM THE DEVIL I AM THE DEVIL!.
326** One case with a guy doing Synthetic Marijuana wound up believing that he was dreaming reality.
327* NakedNutter: One of the most common news stories featured on the show involves someone appearing naked or half-naked in public and doing something spectacularly irrational. Sometimes, alcohol, drugs or mental illness will be involved, but more often than not, no explanation for the nudity will emerge at all - much to Nash and Tara's exasperation. For good measure, this often segues into the classic "[[FullFrontalAssault Naked Rampage]]."
328* NakedPeopleAreFunny: A recurring theme.
329** Also frequently subverted depending on the story when the crazy naked just gets ''too'' crazy.
330* NerdsAreVirgins:
331** When correcting the Fifth Doctor using the term "Brontosaurus" in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E7TimeFlight Time Flight]]", Nash then says "Yes, I've had sex. Shut up!"
332** From ''The Incredible Hulk Returns'', after Nash has just finished explaining the backstory of [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]:
333-->'''[[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]]''': Nash, don't take this the wrong way, but have you ever touched a boob before?
334-->'''Nash''': Would punching you in the face count? \
335'''Film Brain''': ...touche.
336* NeverMessWithGranny: A pair attempting to rob a group of grannies at a bingo game were met with force and a flipped table.
337* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Many of the subjects make it way too easy for the police to find them. Common examples are calling 911 to report getting ripped off in a drug deal and taunting police via social media.
338* TheNicknamer: Nash often uses names like "Jackass [=M=]c[=N=]ut[=F=]uck" in lieu of the stupid person's actual name.
339* NightmareFuel: Invoked in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kFJKGYm6J0s#t=904 Cop Vs. Squirrel]]'', when hearing about the death scream of a squirrel, Brian Heinz (AKA WebVideo/TheLastAngryGeek) comments about how that's the sort of thing that would haunt you until the day you die.
340* NoJustNoReaction: The Live show on July 7, 2021 featured an animation by ''WebAnimation/MeatCanyon'' that featured ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' eating the other inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood. Both Nash and chat was mortified and after the video was done, Nash announced that he would never play anything from ''WebAnimation/MeatCanyon'' again.
341* NoEnding: The Live show for Oct. 21, 2019 was CutShort before the usual outro because there was an Internet outage that night, which lasted until after RDA's scheduled end time. This was kept in the [=YouTube=] upload the following week as a SmashToBlack.
342* NoodleIncident: The time Nash tried to steal the Olympic torch. He tells the story once in a blue moon and it keeps being brought up by Tara, but there's many, particularly those who started watching RDA after Nash joined TGWTG, who are completely clued out by the references. Tara also occasionally jokes about these herself, making a reference to an incident vaguely related to the current story before remarking "those records are sealed".
343* NoOshaCompliance: The story that gives "It's a Bomb" its title. A school in Uganda had improvised a bell by using an ''unexploded bomb'' that they would "ring" by ''pounding it with a rock.''
344* NothingButSkulls: In his LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', Nash stole every skull (human or troll) he could find and threw them into a giant pile in his homestead's cellar. Every once in a while, he would Fus Ro Dah the pile because [[ItAmusedMe It Amused Him]]. And then when he played ''Skyrim Special Edition'', he did it again.
345* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: OnceAnEpisode:
346-->'''Nash''': Hey, kids. I'm Nash, and I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
347** From the review of ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E3TerrorOfTheVervoids Terror of the Vervoids]]'':
348-->'''Nash''': You have no idea how much I wish I was kidding.
349** He personally assures the audience that yes, in his quest to find the top Classic Doctors from ''Series/DoctorWho'', he received two single-spaced pages describing how the top Classic Doctor was [[Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman Doctor Quinn.]] He gives this person the "Not Sure If Serious" Award.
350* NotSoAboveItAll: Nash has tried to steal the Olympic torch before. Also has been so drunk that he screamed, repeatedly, that he was Jesus Christ outside of a con.
351* NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat: Tara takes this stance when talking about various weird fetishes, but emphasizes that unless previously specified, nobody else will want to see it.
352* NWordPrivileges: When discussing a story about a guy knocking over a one-legged man, it turned to superheroes being above that, unless they were handicapped themselves, like [[{{Franchise/Batman}} Oracle]] or {{ComicBook/Daredevil}}, and then Tara noted that this was the comic book equivalent of when it's okay to say the N word.
353* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Franchise/{{Godzilla}} fighting [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall the]] [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Dragonzord]] in 'Land of the Rising Dumb.'
354* OffTheRails: When JO became a semi-permanent part of the live show, he and Tara had a tendency to take the stories into very, very strange places, while Nash could do nothing but sit and watch.
355* OhMyGods: "By the unwashed balls of Odin, man!"
356* OldShame: [[invoked]] The first-ever episode ("Nothing is Hawt in the UsefulNotes/{{Walmart}}").
357-->'''Nash:''' To say it was "amateurish" is to be [[InsultToRocks insulting to amateurs]].
358* OlderThanTheyLook: Nash and Tara were born in 1976 and 1977, respectively.
359* OnlyInFlorida: Almost on a OnceAnEpisode basis. One of the earlier installments, "The Wang of America," was made up entirely of Florida stories.
360** Reaches new heights in the live show for 7/8/13, ''Junk in the Junk:'' Florida manages to accidentally ban all computers, smartphones and other similar devices while trying to stop internet gambling.
361*** And if you get really broad with the definition, it also bans brains too as it is also a series of devices (neurons) that can be used in a game of chance.
362* OnlySaneMan: For the ''rest of the world''. Tara, WebVideo/JesuOtaku, and [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] occasionally act as one for Nash. And on the live show, Nash became the OnlySaneMan to WebVideo/JesuOtaku and Tara's [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike wild-eyed tangents]].
363* OpeningNarration: For the live show: "Each week, Kathryn and the Radio Dead Air audience go out on the World Wide [[PerfectlyCromulentWord Interwebs]], find all sorts of horrible stuff, and bring it back here for a little segment we like to call [[TitleDrop "What the Fuck is Wrong with You?"]], AND..."
364** For the recorded version: "Hey, kids. I'm Nash and I couldn't make this shit up if I tried."
365* OverlyLongGag: Nash decided to turn off [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Joel & the bots]] from incessant singing during a [[ForkliftFu forklift]] hijack story.
366* OutsideContextProblem: Most of the people who star in the stories come straight out of nowhere and assault/harass/pester random passersby with no warning whatsoever.
367** A good example is when a woman came home to find a naked man, covered in blood, eating all of her raw chicken. The woman ran out of the house to call the cops.
368* PantsPositiveSafety: Discussed and deconstructed on the August 8, 2011 episode, when a man tucking his girlfriend's pistol into his waistband accidentally shoots his penis off.
369* PapaWolf: In one 2011 story, a naked and intoxicated man drove into an apartment occupied by a father and his seven-year-old child, whereupon the father proceeded to beat the driver with a hammer.
370* PointAndLaugh: Nash does this to Tara when she realizes that one story occurred in her hometown.
371* PungeonMaster: Nash HATES journalists like this, and in one episode wished death onto one of them. He's explained it as being what he sees as bad journalism, as the writers are there to inform, not to make jokes. Puns are not needed and should not be allowed into the stories.
372** They will make exceptions for puns that are clever or if was a once-in-a-lifetime chance of making it.
373* TheQuisling: PlayedForLaughs in Nash's LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'', where his reaction to the [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] HumongousMecha is "Um...so does anyone know the words to 'Deutschland Uber Alles'?"
374* ARareSentence: Nash has to say these a lot. Examples include "Puppies do not make good ordnance!" and "While you can debate the right or wrong of the police seizing his penis..."
375** Usually followed by "I can't believe I had to say that!"
376** From "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E2TheHappinessPatrol The Happiness Patrol]]":
377---> "Meanwhile, Helen A uses the slot machine to execute Mister Grumpypants. Yes, I actually had to say those words. I'm sad, too."
378
379"The Doctor and Harmonica Man escape into the candy pipes; Dear God, how insane do I sound right now?"
380(These weren't even the only times he had to invoke this.)
381*** Most of the review of that episode fits under that trope.
382** Also: "You are not discreet when your pants are full of chicken!"
383** "After you've got their money, you don't need to have 'em trim your pubic hair! [...] I can't believe I had to say that sentence out loud."
384** From "To Kill a Toilet":
385--->'''Nash:''' Tara, I want you to stop real fast: Did you ever in your life think the words "stuffing your tits full of cocaine" would need to be said?
386--->'''Tara:''' ... No.
387--->'''Nash:''' And yet, here we are. We've come to this point.
388** "No, it's not a gun, it's a prop for my toy monkey." Nash immediately declares this one of the best sentences in the English language.
389** "A man's dog was thrown out of a restaurant for ''being gay.'' I just said that, didn't I?"
390** "When I was a small child, I never imagined that I would assemble those words together, [[InThatOrder in that particular order,]] ''don't put the alligator in your pants!!!''"
391* ReadingsBlewUpTheScale: His "Nerd Rage Meter" blew up twice when reviewing [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie The Doctor Who TV movie]].
392* RealSongThemeTune[=/=]SoundtrackDissonance: The theme song is "Crazy," by Patsy Cline.
393** ''The Musical Chair'' uses "My Guitar" by Jump, Little Children.
394** The song in the opening video for the Monday Radio Dead Air broadcast is "In Rock 8-Bit" by Bodenständig 2000. The end theme for RDA is the closing theme for ''Series/RedDwarf''.
395** The intro to ''Here There Be Dragons'' is an 8-bit rendition of Music/{{Nightwish|Band}}'s "Over The Hills and Far Away."
396* ReferenceOverdosed: If you took a shot for every time he made a pop culture reference in the scripted WTFIWWY episodes, you would die.
397* RefugeInAudacity: From the live show, the man who went on a 9-hour crime spree in Nashville totaling 11 individual felonies that included mugging a Canadian couple ''while he was crying and apologizing.'' Tara was driven to ask ''[[FlatWhat WHAT]]'' over and over while Nash couldn't help but admire the sheer gall of what looked like a ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' rampage.
398** This was later to be outdone when one man managed to commit ten felonies in a space of just twenty-one minutes.
399* ResetButton: Nash attempted to invoke this when he was told that monkeys [[InsistentTerminology and apes]] were uprising by Space Guy. It worked in the sense that the rebellion was over by the next episode, but that didn't save Nash from a very painful hospital visit, during which Space Guy presented the video.
400* RunningGag: Tara's thing with hippos.
401** Sonic attacks being represented by teen pop, be it Music/KatyPerry (in his ''Series/DoctorWho'' reviews) or Music/TaylorSwift (in the Trial of the Incredible Hulk review).
402** Gunther's ''Ding Dong Song'' causing ''Douchequakes''.
403** While playing ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', Nash made fun of the game's TakeYourTime and SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer nature by asking "Wasn't I supposed to be doing something?" Eventually he decided that the main questline was about the [[PlayerCharacter Sole Survivor]] [[IWillFindYou trying to find...his lost hamster]]. This caused the chat to refer to the SS's son Shaun as a hamster even after they met him in the flesh, and they declared him "the worst hamster ever" [[spoiler:when he turned out to be the head of the Institute]].
404** When Luke co-hosts WTFIWWY Live, there's about a fifty percent chance there will be a poop story and a 100% chance the chat, if not the hosts, will mention the frequency of poop stories when Luke is on.
405* SacredCow: [[invoked]] Nash discussed this when [[Series/LazyTown Stefán Karl Stefánsson]] died in 2018. While he never watched ''Series/LazyTown'', Stefánsson was clearly beloved by the children who grew up watching him, and Nash compared it to when Mr. Hooper passed away on ''Series/SesameStreet''.
406-->''He did cool stuff for kids, and that can't be forgotten. Seemed to be a decent human being...and we're in short supply of those, lately.''
407* SafeWord: The chat's safe word during WTFIWWY is "purple shotgun". Tara takes pride in the fact that she's usually the reason they start screaming it, although she and Nash both frequently point out that unlike a traditional safe word it isn't actually going to make them stop.
408* ScannableMan: Not any of the co-hosts or [[TemptingFate subjects of the stories]]. No, it was one of Dan's cats growing up. Said cat was a Purina test cat, who spent his early life testing out new blends of cat food. In one ear he had an ID number for administration purposes. In the other [[CaptainObvious was the word cat tattoo'd]]
409* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: How his run in a police car seeking stupid crimes to solves comes to an end:
410-->'''Radio dispatcher:''' All units be on the lookout for a car moving erratically at high speed, registered to one Creator/LindsayLohan.
411-->'''Nash:''' Yeah, I quit.
412* SelfDeprecation: In his commentaries of early episodes of the show, Nash will frequently make fun of how amateur he was back then.
413* SeriousBusiness: Tara, an art major, has this reaction when a woman attacks a Matisse painting at a fine art museum.
414* SexyWhateverOutfit: Every year for Halloween, Nash and Tara have a "Hooker-ween" special, later renamed "Halloworst", where they look at several stupidest examples of this trope that they could find online[[note]]To head off accusations of slut-shaming, Nash has specified that they're making fun of the costumes themselves and not the women who wear them[[/note]].
415* ShareTheMalePain: Lampshaded several times. Also inverted in one Live WTFIWWY, when Nash says "Ladies, brace yourselves" before talking about a woman who hid a knife in her lady parts.
416* SharedUniverse: The universe within Nash's scripted shows is the Reviewaverse due to being on Channel Awesome and his numerous cameos and crossovers. He actually played a key part in "To Boldly Flee."
417* ShoutOut: See [[ShoutOut/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou this page]].
418* SitcomArchNemesis: Nash has developed a hatred of Will Greenley, a journalist who periodically writes the news stories Nash reads from and has a distinctive HurricaneOfPuns writing style.
419* SlasherSmile: Nash does one every now and then on RDA live. It's scary. He's admitted that it's a way of stalling when he needs a few more seconds to think of what to say next, as well as [[SelfDeprecation explaining]] that it actually goes against a basic rule of radio for the presenter to completely stop talking.
420* SophisticatedAsHell: "Let's get a little professionalism up in this biatch!"
421** Both Nash and Tara regularly switch between speaking very eloquently to peppering their phrases with swear words and then talking like rappers.
422* SoundtrackDissonance: When ever something seems musically off, he'll whip out a remote and "fix it". One example is playing the theme to ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' during a ridiculous looking shot of [[ItMakesSenseInContext Green Lantern flying in on a propeller construct]] during his ''Film/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' review.
423* SpecialEffectsFailure: InUniverse. In "And Never Brought to Mind", Nash plays a clip of a news report on a bear sighting. They stage a reenactment, featuring... a cardboard cutout of a bear. The reporter ''actually says'' "This is what the bear probably looked like... except real."
424-->'''Nash:''' It takes a special kind of stupid to have all the resources of a TV station at your disposal, and yet somehow make ''my'' show look like it has the higher budget.
425* SpecialGuest: Every so often another Website/ChannelAwesome reviewer shows up to guest when Tara is unavailable. And sometimes when she is available.
426* SpoofAesop: OnceAnEpisode to round off the live shows.
427-->So, what have we learned?
428** Tara takes this idea and runs with it, providing lessons for would-be criminals.
429* {{Squee}}: Tara is ''overjoyed'' after downloading ''VideoGame/NekoAtsume''.
430* StimulantSpeedtalk: In the "Rainbow Cringe" episode, Nash and Tara cover an incident in which a man was caught smuggling twenty-three pounds of cocaine through an airport via his wheelchair. While reflecting on [[StupidCrooks how stupid the guy must have been]] to think that TSA personnel wouldn't search his wheelchair, Nash speculates that he must have been ''on'' cocaine when he came up with the idea ''and'' when he went through the airport - and was probably caught because he was trying too hard to look sober. Nash and Tara then provide their best impression of the perpetrator babbling on about the colour of his wheelchair and sniffing loudly.
431* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Tara and WebVideo/JesuOtaku seem to have very similar thought processes about things like [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext cat strip clubs]]. When JO was something of a semi-permanent co-host, this often resulted in them driving Nash crazy.
432** Also, occasionally, Nash and Tara themselves:
433--->'''Nash:''' You know who wasn't a good, conscientious human being?\
434'''Tara:''' ...Hitler?\
435'''Nash:''' Oh my God. You ''know'' me!
436* StuckInAChimney: This is a recurring problem, where people will try to get into houses via the chimney and invariably get stuck, often necessitating the help of the local police and fire departments.
437* StupidCrooks: These guys come up so often that [[DoWrongRight "Tara Explains How To Be a Better Criminal"]] has turned into a RunningGag on the live show.
438** And an upcoming series from Tara.
439* StuffBlowingUp: In the Valentine's Day episode, the following items explode in his face: a flashlight full of gunpowder, an electrified skull, and [[RuleOfThree a hotdog]].
440--> '''Nash:''' Why does everything keep exploding around here!? I'm afarid the next soda I open will usher in Global Thermonuclear war!
441** And in one story a German man accidentally created a miniature fuel-air bomb.
442* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: During "Bizzaro Film/OldYeller" Nash gives a detailed description about how to snort drugs, before following it up with "Not that I know anything about that."
443* TakeThat: A big one to WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic in the review of ''WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn'':
444-->'''Nash''': You do know “objective” doesn't mean “raving cockmonger”, right?
445-->'''Space Guy''': It doesn't? Hmm; someone should really tell that Nostalgia Person then...
446-->'''Nash''': *comes down with a cough and quickly moves on*
447* TakeThatAudience: Especially on the live show, where he repeatedly compares the channel to the "winners."
448** The new nickname as of late is "The Choir Pedantic".
449** The episode "Hummingbird Hell" contains this jab:
450-->'''Nash''':...Gentlemen, and I'm using the term loosely because you're watching my show...
451** He roundly calls out the idiots who wrote in to his "Top Classic Doctor Who" video and voted for Modern Doctors (at the time, 9, 10, and 11). His only consolation he gives them is "Not telling the internet who you are."
452* TemptingFate: Several items are introduced this way.
453** And even double-subverted once. He lists something even more ridiculous than the previous story. He [[GenreSavvy looks around expectantly]] for a long {{beat}}. Then:
454--->'''Nash:''' Ha! Got you, internet! That's too specific even for-- *that exact story appears* oh good lord.
455** Also whenever something happens during the graveyard shift.
456--> '''Nash''': "You know there was some guy at checkout lane 3 wishing for something to happen."
457** He espoused the virtues of weed over meth because nobody ever blew up their house with weed. Come [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8cIZ3JTbr8&feature=player_detailpage#t=380 this episode]], and somebody did that, specifically trying to extract hemp oil from the marijuana seeds.
458** Multiple episodes after joking there was probably someone out there masturbating with swiss cheese, Nash and Tara run into a story that is precisely that. They realize that they're not just tempting fate anymore, they're ''causing'' those stories to happen for real.
459-->'''Tara:''' We've come full circle. We're ''creating'' this. We've hit a metaphysical point where we're not just reporting on this suff, ''we're making it happen.''\
460'''Nash:''' ''[[OhCrap OH GOD, WE'RE PROPHETS.]]''
461** After finishing the review of ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' and calling a decent movie but nowhere near great:
462-->'''Nash:''' Well, now that I've inspired the ire of the entire internet, is there anything lest I can do to piss people off?\
463''Cue'' Film/TheNeverendingStory ''promo''\
464'''Nash:''' ''(With a strained smile)'' Oh, fuck me.
465** In one episode, an article has a police officer comment, "This should make that stupid video show."
466-->'''Nash:''' We've ''joked'' about people doing things to get on this show!
467* ThoseWackyNazis: The show covers things such as Hitler chic in Bangkok as well as Hitler chicken, and the man who went to his son's custody hearing dressed as a Nazi. Said son was named "Adolf Hitler".
468* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: At the end of the WTFIWWY episode "Begging the Question", Space Guy delivered one of these to the Trousers Cosmic, which also doubled as a LogicBomb.
469* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
470** Nash's reaction whenever he reads a story that happens in Florida.
471** Tara joined him in ''It's Not A Pocket'' for a story where a female inmate used her vagina as a hiding spot for drugs and drug-related items.
472--->'''Nash:''' Tara, Tara, Tara... it's happened again... ''and in Florida.''
473--->'''Tara:''' ''OH GOD NO!!!''
474** His review of ''Film/{{Krull}}'', where right at the start he knows he's in trouble.
475--->'''Nash:''' You know, it's times like this I recall the words of my mother when she told me ''"You idiot."''
476** His reaction when the first scene of "K9 and Company," a ''children's show'', is a group of human-sacrificing devil worshipers.
477* TitleDrop: Both played straight and inverted. The phrase "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" is often said during the show. The titles for the live show episodes are taken from a joke made during the recording, usually ARareSentence of some kind.
478* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: When JO joins the show, hes the Tomboy to Tara the self-described "Professional Girly Girl". Especially since Tara's day job is selling cosmetics.
479* TooDumbToLive:
480** One of the very rare stories to feature a death occurred when a man tried to launch a firework off his head.
481** In ''The North Korea Hokey Pokey,'' the subject of the titular story was an American soldier facing some minor charges in South Korea. His plan to escape? ''Illegally cross the border into North Korea.''
482** From recklessly driving motorized vehicles to harassing dangerous wild animals, it's a wonder that some of these stories' subjects were able to walk away.
483* TotallyNotACriminalFront: Tara had a story about how she and her friends stumbled upon one. It was a Chinese Buffet in a basement with no windows. The fish tanks had one sad looking fish. The kitchen door opened and people were obviously gambling in the back, and their waiter just had the shit beat out of him. And no one really spoke English. Tara's group took a table by the corner so they could flip the table and hide behind it in-case of a shootout. So it was obviously a Triad front. However Tara said the food was really good.
484* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Space Guy loves eating Legos.
485* TrainingMontage: When Nash fears he will become what infuriates him in episode 27, he asks Stickboy for help. He submits Nash to a TrainingFromHell to curb down his anger to a state of zen serenity. Which Arlo [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption promptly shatters]] with [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic cute ponies.]]
486* TranslationYes: One of Arlo's lines in "Bad Idea Bonanza", translated as "What he said."
487* UnusualEuphemism:
488** Nash and Tara's euphemisms for genitalia include: 'Junk', 'Nooks and Crannies', 'Fiddly bits', and 'Barbie Places'.
489** Thanks to [=YouTube=] demonetizing all videos using the words "coronavirus" and "COVID," Nash and Tara dubbed it "The Human Malware."
490* ViewersLikeYou: Where some of the stories covered come from, along with the hard (under credited) work of Kathryn. Also played straight when Nash needs to pay for his licences, usually easily raising 600-2000 dollars in an hour. [[note]]The Current record is Pledge Time 2012 with $2750 (of the $2000 goal) [[ExaggeratedTrope in 5 minutes.]][[/note]]
491** Nash even brings this up in an episode of Tuesday Tech Talk recorded with Jason "[=LordKaT=]" Pullara:
492-->My viewers raised the money in a few hours. I have no idea if this is because they really like me, or they really hate the RIAA.
493** Now, Nash does a shout out to Patreon funders that do their own WebOriginal content just before the [=WTFiWWY=] part of Radio Dead Air starts.
494* VisibleBoomMic: Invoked. Nash records his videos at his radio station setup and uses the microphone to record sound. Not only does it establish his role as "the radio guy" on the site ([[spoiler:as seen in WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee]]), but it also makes the sound in his videos much clearer.
495* VitriolicBestBuds: Tara and Nash mock and antagonize each other constantly, but they very clearly love each other dearly.
496* WakingNonSequitur: Nash is woken up by Nella in their "The Most WTF Moments of Classic Series History" {{Crossover}}:
497--> '''Nash:''' Whu-what? What? What is it? ''I'll kill you!'' I'LL KILL YOU ALL! ... Oh, hi, Nella.\
498'''Nella:''' Yeaaah... I'm going to overlook that...
499** Also, in the "Wonder Woman (2011)" crossover...
500--> '''Nash:''' Is it...no, Mommy, I don't wanna...feed my shoes...watermelon...
501* WaxingLyrical: Tara quotes {{Music/Bastille}} during a story involving a middle-school teacher and a lapdance:
502-->'''Nash:''' Where do we begin?
503-->'''Tara:''' The rubble or our sins?
504-->'''Nash:''' What?
505* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: Any time [=WTFiWWY=] or the Doctor Who Classic Reviews push Nash a bit too far. Appears as a pale-blue title card with a hand-drawn chibi-version of Nash and the 'Technical Difficulties' bulletin. Usually, it's also accompanied by an additional message each time:
506-->"Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up."
507-->"Don't worry, we're pretty sure he won't find the gun [[NoodleIncident this time.]]"
508** During the live show these are ubiquitous to the point of running gag. [[http://web.archive.org/web/20150428133822/http://www.soulexo.com/other/technical-difficulties.jpg Fan art has been made just for it]], which had become the banner for RDA's Blip channel.
509** "Stop refreshing the page assholes!" given on any night where the live channel experiences issues, most notably during the DRM saga.
510* WeirdnessMagnet: Tara, to the point that "related" stories from her past are an item in the drinking game.
511--> '''Nash:''' Whenever you tell childhood stories, it's like Rose from ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' meets ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''.
512* WhatAreYouInFor: Tara and Nash like doing this for some of the stupider crimes, mostly to point out [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown what stupid crooks]] [[PrisonRape can look forward to]].
513* WhatDidIDoLastNight: A lot of these stories are what the person was doing last night. Also Ambien has been discussed on the show as causing this.
514** Also in-universe. After Nash, Linkara, and Film Brain went drinking, Nash put everyone to bed with aspirin. Problem was that it was actually Ritalin. Cue madness at [=MAGfest=].
515* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt: According to Nash, the town of Beaverton is just asking for depraved weirdos to flock over there.
516* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Tara's super power is setting up segues for Nash without even trying. She's complained about it being a crappy power many times.
517* WhoWritesThisCrap: Usually invoked whenever a journalist tries to be a PungeonMaster. Once he finds the name, Nash will usually scold the writer like a child: "You go stand in the corner and think about what you've done!!"
518** He will occasionally give a writer a free pass if the circumstances are so bizarre that the story offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance for a joke that even he wouldn't have been able to pass up.
519** Nash and Tara have been known to poke fun at articles that are obviously padding their word count.
520* WordSaladTitle: The headline of one particular story: "Homeowner Clubs Burglar with Pottery, Holds Him at Elephantpoint After he Urinates in Basement, Leaves Beer in Washing Machine." ItMakesSenseInContext.
521* WorldOfWeirdness: The universe within Nash's scripted shows, the Reviewaverse. After all, there's an alien and Nash is actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXP97f4s9d8 Aeon]].
522* WorstAid: In "It's Not A Pocket," a man attempted to do surgery on his own hernia with a butter knife and a cigarette.
523* WouldHurtAChild: One story featured a man who held up his ''one-year-old toddler'' as a meat shield against pepper spray. Nash and Tara are very understandably horrified by this, especially since it wouldn't have worked anyway.
524* JustForFun/XMeetsY:[[invoked]] ''WTFIWWY Live – That'll Do, Pig – 9/9/13'', Tara describes the drunken pig rampage as ''Literature/AnimalFarm'' as written by Creator/ErnestHemingway.
525* YouAreTooLate: Used in a ShoutOut to ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' when the [[ItMakesSenseInContext angry alien pants]] explain [[GroinAttack their master plan]].
526* YouFool: Arlo shouts this after Nash sets him on fire with the Creator/BillHicks Experience 2.0
527* YoungerThanTheyLook: A lot of the people in the stories are this, mainly due to drug abuse.
528----
