1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In DesignatedHero below, some of [=Ab3=]'s less savoury traits are detailed while El Disgusto seems to personally dislike him and take jabs at him for reasons that are never explained. It's entirely possible that there are a lot of stories which aren't being told or behavioral quirks being left out. Meanwhile Weasley Crusher invites this with his own attitude; is he an ExtremeDoormat, OnlySaneMan or JerkAss who deserved to be ditched by [=Ab3=] as the last episode implies?
2* CanonDefilement: In-game, any and every game based on an established setting. An example of this is Psycho Dave turning [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]] into a DrillSergeantNasty in "Trapped in Jedi Academy." While this was not a complete stretch in of itself, the way Psycho Dave characterized Yoda was far more strict than he would ever be in ''Star Wars'' proper.
3-->"Yoda force chokes you until you black out."
4* DesignatedHero: Some of [=Ab3=]'s grievances with Asenath come off this way. He has legitimate gripes with her role as a catalyst for and participant in some of Deviant Boy's shenanigans, but most of his complaints toward her concern her "flipper arm", a physical disfigurement, and her [[SlutShaming relationships with the other members of the party.]] Even after he has his epiphany regarding Annoying Girl's [[BigBeautifulWoman physical appearance]] during an [[ItMakesSenseInContext acid-induced musical sequence,]] he accuses the others of being hypocrites for [[{{Hypocrite}} lusting after a girl with a flipper arm.]] Even [=Ab3=] admits this is probably true of himself, admitting to having been a jackass at the time.
5* HoYay: Biff Bam's TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu house rules included "the less sanity points you have, the more gay you are." [[ArmoredClosetGay He then forced everyone to strip to the waist]], [[HypocriticalHumor and enforced his rulings by physically wrestling recalcitrant players into submission]].
6* LoveToHate:
7** El Disgusto may be arguably the worst human being of the group as a person, but it's hard to argue against his dumbass ninja antics providing some of the funnier parts of the stories. It helps that he usually ends up [[LaserGuidedKarma facing the consequences of his actions]] both in the game and in real life.
8** Psycho Dave is an utterly despicable racist who's dangerously insane and the only member of the group who can be argued to be genuinely evil rather than "just" an irredeemably cruel asshole, but he can be surprisingly hilarious through his insanity, KillerGameMaster tendencies, and his massive ego. And like Disgusto, he generally faces the consequences for his actions, and it's really satisfying when he's ultimately left to go off on a path of self-destruction when everyone gets fed up with his insanity.
9* {{Squick}}: Pretty much everything the appropriately-named El Disgusto and Deviant Boy do:
10** El Disgusto reached his peak when [[spoiler:he caused the entire party to end up in [[Creator/HPLovecraft Cthulhu]]'s toilet]].
