* DudeNotFunny: Averted thanks to the PowerOfFriendship in the Disaster: Day of Crisis. During the chaos in the city when a building is seen collapsing Matt points "Does that remind you of anything? Not really uh." When Pat asks Matt what he thinks Matt quickly takes it back and refuses to comment. Pat then comments it reminds him of BionicCommando.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: After he left for four episodes of the MetroidFusion playthrough, a good portion of the comments were asking "Where's Liam?" with rejoicing when he returned.
* FauxSymbolism: During the ''VideoGame/EarthDefenseForce2017'' video, while discussing the symbology of the game.
-->'''Pat:''' So what do the giant alien space ships shitting bugs out represent?\\
'''Matt:''' Freemasons.
* FranchiseOriginalSin: Discussed, regarding the ''Metroid'' series. When Matt, Pat, and Woolie watched the cutscenes from ''Videogame/MetroidOtherM'', they took the plot to task for its shortcomings. Then Matt, Woolie, and Liam played ''Videogame/MetroidFusion'', which they were much more positive about. As they played, they were surprised at how many of ''Other M'''s plot elements (such as Samus' backstory with Adam) were already present in ''Fusion'', just better executed.
* HilariousInHindsight: The ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' video has a moment where Leon is attacked by a snake, prompting Pat to comment "That's a BadAss snake, gonna [[GroinAttack bite your dick]]." Fast forward to the ''ManVsWild: [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames The Game]]'' video, where ''that is exactly what every snake in the game does''.
** When playing [[SoulSeries Soul Calibur V]], they comment how Cervantes looks a lot like [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Leon]]. One of Leon's alternate costumes in VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 is a pirate costume.
** In ''The Walking Dead'' Part 2 Pat says "And maybe you killed a Senator!" Matt adds "It was the one-armed man! Now moving to the 14th part from ''MetalGearRisingRevengeance''...
** In the first part of their ''MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' Let's Play, they joke that they'll be going to space in the game. It does actually happen, albeit simply using a shuttle to get halfway around the world in a very short time period.
** In their playthrough of F.E.A.R. 2 during the Shitstorm of Scariness, they make a comment about how the characters in the game's intro resemble the cast of the movie ''Alien'' and Matt makes a joke saying something along the lines of "wait until ''Aliens: Colonial Marines'' turns out to be not so great." Fast forward months later and said game is subject to multiple poor review scores and and considered one of the biggest gaming disappointments of early 2013.
* JustHereForGodzilla: Some fans much prefer to watch their other videos (such as their full length LPs) on their secondary channel, rather then the main episodes on the Machinima channel.
* LoudnessWar: DeadlyPremonition Part 2 was this as the game's audio started getting really loud in the breakfast scene and nobody could understand what Matt and Pat were saying.
* MemeticMutation: [[MortalKombat Reptile]] is in this page. You can't see him though. You know why? 'CAUSE HE'S FUCKIN' INVISIBLE!
** '''AMERICA!''' [[hottip:*:Made even funnier by the realization that Matt and Pat are both ''Canadian'']].
** "See ya later, fuckers!"
** [[NeverLiveItDown "Hey guys, remember when Matt threw that axe?"]] [[hottip:*:Into a bottomless pit. And it was one of the best weapons in the game, too.]]
** "[subject] is the Origami Killer!"[[hottip:*:started as jokes during the Heavy Rain videos where Matt and Pat randomly incriminated characters in the game as the game's villain.]]
*** This affected the comments too. Commenters often state famous figures like Will Smith or Kyo Kusanagi for being the Origami Killer. Even in the Walking Dead Let's Play people joke about the Origami Killer's identity. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPoVtpDygzM&lc=A9tG4noOvwJ7q0XoH8BQj2o8FmB8W3RdNYfmMTxOf-I In one case a commenter said it started becoming dull which resulted in accusations of the users being the Origami Killers]].
** "Kenpachi Ramasama" as the name of the protagonist from their ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' playthrough.
** "Nobody fucks with us!" Matt's catchphrase from ''The Walking Dead''.
** "Cut your shit!" Pat's catchphrase from ''MetalGearRisingRevengeance''.
* MoralEventHorizon: Pat accidentally [[http://fuckyeahtwobestfriendsplay.tumblr.com/post/35141513817/x knocks a dog over]] in Assassin's Creed III.
* MostWonderfulSound: Pat's laughter. [[http://youtu.be/8ryeRwnFNRs Case in point]].
** Or Matt's songs.
** Pat's ''Tour Guide Nixon'' voice, and the RoboSpeak Matt slips into while mocking characters with bad voice acting or writing.
** Pat's scared laughter is just as great. Also are his high pitched screams when he's scared.
* NeverLiveItDown:
** One time Woolie [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuL4IaCf4qM turned down a potential threesome so he could go pick up Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]. Matt and Pat never let it go. They went as far as to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAqnKIKmRAY make their own video]] to mock Woolie.
** Additionally, Woolie losing in the first round at EVO to Daigo gets brought up fairly frequently as well.
** Pat (and the rest of the fandom) enjoys bringing up the time Matt accidentally threw the best weapon in ''Silent Hill: Downpour'' away (i.e., into a bottomless pit).
*** Aside from the comments section on Youtube immediately turning this into a RunningGag, the first in-work mention of the incident is later in the playthrough, when Pat jokes that the fire axe is now going through its own version of Silent Hill.
*** Matt is shown wielding a fire axe in the sixth season opener.
*** In ''EternalDarkness'', one character uses a fire axe throughout the chapter. Matt constantly urges Pat to throw it away.
*** Now that they are playing ''SilentHillHomecoming'', Pat jokes the Fire Ax finally completed its adventure and arrived right next to Matt for him to use again.
** Several of the Shitstorm of Scariness videos has Matt still berating Pat for his timidness during the Slender Man video. Pat fully admits this and seemingly takes it in stride.
*** In the ''Brawl'' episodes, the intros have started to lampshade how he never wins.
** Pat worries this will be the case when he mentions in the second part of their Mortal Kombat 9 viewing that Liu Kang and Kitara will eventually have a "[[UnfortunateImplications really hot]], [[ThatCameOutWrong cool baby]]". Cue Matt and Woolie making pedophile jokes and Pat lamenting that "People will make pictures! You can't do this to me!"
* NightmareRetardant: Matt's reaction to seeing [[VideoGame/{{Slender}} Slender Man]] clipping into a wall.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Woolie's comment that a character from ''Anime/Sailor Moon'' had sexual intercourse with an unicorn bothered a fan as noted by Matt in "Two Best Friends Play Heavy Rain Part 17." Although Matt stated it was actually just a kiss, Pat defended Woolie's statement as it happened offscreen.
** Matt mentions several silly and/or ridiculous SpiderMan comic book stories with Pat. The episode then provides a caption referring to the issues the crazy story appeared in.
* ScrappyMechanic: Pat confessed in the animated shorts he dislikes escort missions.
* TearJerker: Pat has this moment in the last ''The Walking Dead'' video. Matt also admits he had a TearJerker moment with the film ''Ratatouille''.
* ThatDamnKen: Seen in the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' video:
-->'''Pat''': What is with the Ken brigade?
-->'''Matt''': What do you mean "what is ''with'' it"? It's always BEEN THERE!
* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The entire SNES video demonstrates this.
* TheScrappy: Matt expresses his hate towards multiple video game characters such as ''HeavyRain''' Ethan Mars, WalkingDead's Ben, MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots' Sunny and MetalGearRisingRevengeance' George. Pat is not so expressive about his opinions but in one occasion during the VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale he joined Matt in making fun of GodOfWar' Kratos.
** Pat has also expressed his dislike towards Ashley from MassEffect.
* UnfortunateImplications:
** In ''Deus Ex: Human Revolution'', both Pat and Matt are weirded out by how much the homeless lady they run into is a SassyBlackWoman cliche.
** There are a few in Pat's insistence that [[AttractiveBentGender Poison]] "isn't a woman", based on the reasoning "There's a penis in there!". While it's probably not intentional, it DOES come across as transphobic.
*** At the same time, Poison's character is a case of ShesAManInJapan, a crossdressing man specifically; and considering the amount of video game knowledge the Best Friends have, Pat may be aware of this. It doesn't help that the [[http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/egm-interviewyoshinori-ono/ official developers have no official answer either]].
* VocalDissonance: A lot of viewers were surprised by what Matt looks like when they saw his face for the first time. Matt even addresses this in the video "Matt's Bombass Apartment Tour".
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Matt thinks ''VideoGame/EarthDefenseForce2017'' is Japan's commentary on the Iraq War.
** During their {{Slender}} video, Pat muses on whether Slenderman could be an allegory for the I.R.S.
