* Their ''Shitstorm 4: Matt and Pat's Scariness Marathon'' special series of videos is so called because of sort of a goof from Matt. During one episode of their ''Superbestfriendcast'' in which they were talking to [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 Guy Cihi]], Matt brought ''Shitstorm'' into the conversation but hesitated on swearing in front of their guest, so instead referred to it as "Matt and Pat's Scariness Marathon" in an awkward manner. After the interview the other guys ribbed him about it, and the rest is history.
* The original upload of the ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' video on Machinima was uploaded a few weeks prior to the release of the game (the Best Friends had received an advanced review copy for the show), but was removed about a day after being uploaded. The video returned weeks later when the game came out, but with a very noticeable edit at the end to anyone who saw the original upload. The change to the video's ending in the re-upload version seems to indicate the reason for the original video being removed was due to the inclusion of a pretty major spoiler, especially with the game still weeks from being released. For those curious, the original video ended with [[spoiler: Zinyak [[ApocalypseHow destroying the planet Earth]] at the end of the game's third mission.]]
* ApprovalOfGod: SWERY himself has tweeted and promoted their playthrough of ''VideoGame/{{D4}}''.
* AuthorsSavingThrow: Pat and Woolie's apology for mistaking how the DLC from the Jojo game works.
** Matt and Liam scrapping their ''Undertale'' save after killing several monsters, and restarting with a PacifistRun instead.
** After the backlash from their ''Blazblue'' video, they decide to play Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, another game requested for a long time, as an apology video.
*** Followed by a bigger example a year after said video: the Friends gave a fair Fisticuffs shake at ''VideoGame/BlazblueCentralFiction''. Sometime after the channel's end, Woolie did say on his stream that despite the negative stance the Zaibatsu took on it, he was more than willing to give the series a chance by learning more about it.
** Matt [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] and [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this trope during the "2nd Gig" VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman series, which he describes as "the apology LP," [[spoiler:due to the Friends making numerous mistakes and getting a DownerEnding in the original run]].
* {{Blooper}}: The initial upload of the ''VideoGame/ThePunisherCapcom'' video had a scene where Matt paused the game to answer a deliveryman at his door, and could be heard speaking French to said deliveryman (meanwhile Liam asked "is it for me?"). The inclusion of this blooper went unnoticed by Matt at first, but a few days later the video was suddenly altered to have this editing blooper removed from it.
* ColbertBump:
** ''T.E.C. 3001'' has gotten a fair bit of publicity thanks to their ringing endorsement of the game in the second Xbox Live Indie Games video, prompting the developers to publicly thank them.
** Invoked with their playthrough of ''D4'', in which one of the explicit goals is to encourage more sales of the game so that future chapters can be made.
** Clemps [[https://twitter.com/MrClemps/status/1074280281681641472 credits]] them for making his channel popular with Paige and the Best Friends promoting his Drakengard videos and having him over for the podcast.
* CreatorBacklash: Downplayed. After 11 episodes, they decided to end the Mailbag segments indefinitely, not out of anger (they make it clear throughout the episodes that they adore their fans), but because they had become so overwhelmed with gifts that they were running out of room in their homes.
* CreatorsApathy: The editing of the ''VideoGame/OmikronTheNomadSoul'' playthrough didn't start this way, but in Parts 24 and 25 the in-game audio has slipped out of sync and Pat [[https://twitter.com/AngriestPat/status/791037229091160064 refused to fix it]] [[https://twitter.com/angriestpat/status/791318063148826624 out of frustration]] [[https://twitter.com/AngriestPat/status/791318198440394752 at the game]].
* FakeNationality: Slowly averted as time went on. The guys initially passed themselves off as American, but over time they revealed their real, Canadian nationality.
* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: Pat is pretty mellow and serious when he plays a game without someone else to bounce off and insult.
* HeAlsoDid: Years before ''Two Best Friends Play'', Matt made the "WesternAnimation/StreetFighter Stupidity" video compilations among other stupidity compilations, he also had his Final Fight deviantart used as cover by a few other people.
* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: The Punisher LP caps off with a fanart montage of "Pun-Pun Kill-Chan", the Rule63 version of The Punisher.
* OldShame: Fighterpedia. A series that lasted one season before Two Best Friends properly took off featuring Matt and Woolie discussing the intricacies of fighting games. To sum up Matt's feelings about it:
-->'''Woolie:''' ''*picking his character*'' Representin' that 'Pedia!
-->'''Matt:''' ''*laughing*'' No one cares about Fighterpedia, not even me!
-->*cue title footage of Fighterpedia mentioning how much it sucked*
* ScheduleSlip:
** Their Top 10 Games of 2012 lists didn't come out until ''May - June 2013'', and their Top 10s of 2013 wouldn't come out until ''December 2014''.
** Matt's Sexy Bond-A-Thon. The first three videos came out within two weeks. The fourth didn't come out until ''almost two years'' later.
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Lawsuit threats from Konami pretty much ended their "Best Friends Watch" of ''Metal Gear Solid 4''.
** ''Asura's Wrath'' was stopped before the episode even aired. It has been played now however [[spoiler: by Zach]].
** Ditto with the ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Peace Walker]]'' let's play.
** The Shitstorm of Scariness 2 video on ''VideoGame/TheXFilesResistOrServe'' got removed from Website/YouTube after a copyright claim from FOX got it content ID'd. Thankfully the launch of the new Super Best Friends website, which doesn't have to deal with [=YouTube=]'s finicky content ID system, now has the video up and viewable for all [[http://superbestfriendsplay.com/video/x-files-resist-serve-shitstorm-2-shittening/ here]].
** Happened yet again with a planned ''VideoGame/Persona5'' LP. Atlus decided, [[SarcasmMode in their infinite wisdom]], to not only restrict what could be shown during streams or [=LPs=], they also banned anyone from showing any content beyond the in-game date of July 7. This essentially made it impossible to LP the game, so it was cancelled before it even began. To make matters worse, the news about Atlus' restrictions came ''mid-recording''. On the plus side, the episodes they did record will be released as quicklooks.
** The last quarter of the ''VideoGame/BinaryDomain'' playthrough's episodes were suddenly copyright claimed by Sega in late 2019. While the exact motive is unclear, some suspect its an attempt to hide the late game spoiler of [[spoiler:Faye Lee being half-Hollow Child.]]
* {{Vaporware}}: ''Of course'' they're going to make jokes at the expense of ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'''s 14-year development time.
-->'''Pat:''' It came out!\\
'''Matt:''' No...\\
'''Pat:''' It came out!\\
'''Matt:''' Okay, you encoded something on a disc, and you put it in here to troll me.\\
...\\
'''Pat:''' Downloadable content?! ''They still didn't finish the whole game!''
* TrollingCreator: Their ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' video possibly being their best example but their attitude toward comments criticizing their gameplay or pronounciation is pretty much making it worse.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: When Matt came up with the idea for the original video, Two Best Friends Play ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'', he wanted it to be himself and Woolie. Woolie thought the idea was stupid, and declined to take part. Pat was Matt's second pick, even though they weren't even very good friends at the time.
** Woolie has gone on record saying the reason he turned it down was because he was busy watching Street Fighter IV streams when asked, and at the time didn't think the idea was worth spending his time on. Nowadays he jokes that he semi-regrets that decision.
** Apparently, there was going to be a ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' episode, but due to the controversial content, they found it difficult to approach without sounding insensitive.
** There was a "Super Best Friends Watch" of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', and it even had some episodes made, but they were forced to drop it when Konami threatened to sue.
** An ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' Let's Watch was stopped as well.
** As Pat revealed on [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} Retsu Talk]], they were gonna do a ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' let's play, but unfortunately Konami threatened to sue yet again.
** ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'' was planned to be a series, but the first video had the unfortunate timing of being uploaded around the same time that Nintendo was removing monitization from Let's Plays in May of 2013. Nintendo's stance on LP monitization was reversed just a month later, but by that time the guys had already moved on to a busy schedule of doing other games, so they opted to not continue the series past part 1 ([[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Nintendo]] [[VideoGame/DisasterDayOfCrisis related]] Let's Plays still occur, but NSMBU will continue to stay a standalone video, and with the channel's end it is extremely unlikely it will ever progress to a full playthrough).
** A video for ''VideoGame/{{Daylight}}'' was recorded for one of the Shitstorms, but it was never uploaded because Matt and Pat felt the game was so boring that they couldn't get any interesting commentary out of it.
** They had a hide under coats as a parody of survival tips video and one of their RunningGag. They had too much trouble and considered it wasn't good enough.
** A full ''VideoGame/Persona5'' LP was planned, and even announced on the podcast. It was promptly cancelled less than a day later after Atlus released restrictions on spoilers so severe that it would essentially make it impossible to do a full LP.
** Tying in to the channel's sudden end was the cancellation of a Fisticuffs episode on ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''; the guys had all made mentions of obviously recording the episode and planning for it way before launch, but the disbanding of the Zaibatsu prevented it from coming to fruition.
* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Pat [[https://twitter.com/AngriestPat/status/837090623496810496 stated]] that he has no interest in doing further Dark Souls [=LPs=] because of all the vitriolic comments from viewers over the series.
