* LowerDeckEpisode: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFY8bBhbVVE "And Friends"]] episode of Stephen & Friends is played entirely without Stephen, because Stephen was unavailable around that time (Stephen suspects it was because he was dead tired and asleep). Stephen eventually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QktdfzeDhKo reacted to it]] since he wasn't able to see the footage until then.

Added DiffLines:

* CuttingTheKnot: Stephen likes to use skills like Persuade in Bethesda games to force shortcuts through missions by just convincing [=NPCs=] to see it his way. He also likes to try to break or cheese his way through shrines in ''Breath of the Wild'' and especially ''Tears of the Kingdom'' rather than trying to figure out the intended way.
** On the other hand, this tendency often backfires, especially in ''Golf With Your Friends'' where Stephen is obsessed with taking shortcut trick shots that almost invariably end up taking longer and using more shots than if he just tried to do it legitimately.

** Yunobo in ''Tears of the Kingdom''. Neither Mal nor (especially) Stephen remember him being in the previous game or can remember his name; Mal calls him 'Daruk' while Stephen varies between 'Yajirobe', 'Darien', 'Alfredo', 'The Guy', 'Big Man', 'Gerald' and more.

** An unintentional one in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' is that Mal consistently always gets the shrines which take your equipment and give a combat challenge (which she hates) while Stephen nearly always gets the physics puzzle shrines he struggles with - when both would be much happier with the other.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In one episode of his ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' Let's Play, Stephen drives a van that he needs to destroy to the mountains of Los Santos, where he spends a decent amount of time trying to get the van to explode. Once the van does just that, Stephen briefly basks in his success...only to realize that he's now in the middle of nowhere, without a convenient way to get himself back home.

** The LetsPlay/FreelanceAstronauts dubbed Link "Lonk" in their playthrough of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' years before Stephen and Mal did the same, but in their case it was a variation on them having called him "Lunk" in ''Ocarina of Time'', and there's no connection.

Added DiffLines:

** "job" - stemming from Stephen describing Mal technically pulling off a feat in ''Breath of the Wild'' but in the most inefficient and long-winded way possible, so it didn't warrant a "good job". This has become the chat's catchphrase when either of them do so in later streams. It even became an emote in 2023!

* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: InUniverse, Stephen sometimes thinks this towards Faendal during his more stupider moments and towards [[AxCrazy Lil' Brekflek]] when the latter [[spoiler: went a little too kill happy, killing one of the Dark Brotherhood targets and killed a guard and a [[PermanentlyMissableContent quest giver]]]].
