* TrumanShowPlot: The [=SurfShark=] ad in "Reviewing Terrible Memes From TV and Movies (I Hate This So Much)" features Tom using the service to watch shows exclusive to Netflix in France until, to his horror, he finds their #1 series is a show that's just hours upon hours of footage of himself doing things in his house. He freaks out more upon discovering a "Making of" documentary, in which it's revealed Elliot (who secretly despises Tom) is behind the project and that Eddie has been played by 5 different actors. The ad ends with Elliot casually checking up on Tom through the phone.
-->'''Elliot''': Hey, Tom. Any progress on the [=SurfShark=] ad?
-->'''Tom''': Uh... yeah, so click the link in the description and use code "Tomskafriends" to get 83% off your [=SurfShark=] subscription, but um... please don't use French Netflix.
-->'''Elliot''': I'm sorry, What was that?

--->'''Dan:''' What are all these bodies doing here?
--->'''Tom:''' Honestly, not much.

* ViralTransformation: After Chris gets bitten by a zombie in ''Bite Me'', Tom formulates several plans to keep him from turning into one... except, they all involve him getting bitten by some other classic monster (vampire, werewolf, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Hyper-Intelligent]] [[RunningGag Horse Person]], etc.), meaning he'll just turn into one of them instead. In the nick of time, Tom bites him, keeping him safe (well, as safe as turning into a clone of Tom can be). Tom gets bitten by a mosquito after this, though he confidentially assures Chris nothing will happen. [[TemptingFate Guess what happens next]].

* ThatCameOutWrong: In the description for "The Hole".

* WishingForMoreWishes: {{Defied|Trope}} in "The Wish" as the genie makes it perfectly clear you can't do this, can't use a loophole to get around it, and in fact reduces the amount of wishes he'd grant to one for being pestered about it. The girl who found the lamp however is determined to get infinite wishes, by [[BlackComedy any means necessery]]

His animated series ''WebAnimation/CrashZoom'', his comedy challenge series ''WebVideo/TryHards'' and his short film ''WebVideo/HitIt'' all have their own pages.

--->'''Tom:''' (holding up a DVD copy of ''Film/17Again'') Oh, wait, here it is. (dramatic sting and brief cut to black, Tom then drops the DVD case) Oh, sh- (dramatic sting and cut to black)

* DropTheHammer: In one of Tom's ''[=KatataK=]'' vlogs, he opts to show the viewer some game footage. It then cuts to a hammer being dropped onto an iPhone. It's not pretty by the end.

* BaitAndSwitch: In "Any Regrets?", Dodie admits to never having seen Star Wars while Sammy admits to [[spoiler:getting bitten]]. Daniel is shocked; that Dodie had never seen Star Wars. When a zombie starts to break in, Daniel states that there is still time.....for Sammy and Deepraj to role-play Star Wars.

* ChaosOfTheBells: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpY4ym5fspQ Christmas Demolition]]", [=TomSka=] uses [=LilDeuceDeuce's=] bassy dubstep version of "Carol of the Bells" in his video, which sees his character violently battle Santa and his elves because Santa brought him nothing for Christmas years ago.

* CloningBlues: In the "Rejects" sketch, Tom creates and murders clones of Dan to relieve the stress of hiding the fact that [[spoiler:the Dan he's talking to is a clone and he turned the real Dan into a chair]] and doesn't want to hurt Dan's feelings by telling him this.

-->'''Woman''': I love you too-

** Vladimir in ''I Don't Know'' ends up killing himself by playing Russian Roulette, thinking it's an acceptable game to play. Oh, and he also thinks it's the way to do [=CPR=].
