Retsupuraes

• Please Stop Let's Playing I Wanna Be The Guy. ^Explanation A video where slowbeef reads the first chapter of American Gods and repeats the title phrase every time the LPer dies.
• SNES9X. ^Explanation Much like the above, a video where slowbeef reads "On Liberty" and states "SNES9X" whenever the LPer pulls up the titular emulator's state screen (which, since he's playing Kaizo Mario World, is often).
• YOU GO RIJNO. OKAAAY. ^Explanation A particularly annoying Let's Player.
• Getting McDonald's food for Christmas gifts. ^Explanation A rather poorly-worded comment from BillyMC caused the duo to believe that his mother (who they had already painted as abusive) gets him McDonald's for Christmas.
  • Going to Australia. ^Explanation During Billy's The Hollywood Squares LP, Lime wins a trip to Australia and acts incredibly excited about it.
  • "It's Lime, Lime Time, Liiime Time..." ^Explanation Billy and Lime's Mario Bros. video begins with Lime singing a brief song about the two of them.
  • The duo's love for old sitcoms. ^Explanation First crops up in the Pinball RP, and the source of a great deal of Funny Moments therein.
• Unregistered Hypercam 2. ^Explanation Lots and lots of riffed videos were recorded via Unregistered Hypercam 2, which automatically applies a watermark to the upper-left corner. In early RP's (the peak of Hypercam popularity), this watermark was constantly mocked to the point of becoming a running gag, even appearing in several Wrongpuraes as a censor box.

Retsufrashes

• Islamic Fundamentalists! ^Explanation From Chip Cheezum and GeneralIronicus' riff on Elemental Goddess.
• Parodying Newgrounds scores by posting incredibly vitriolic and hyperbolic one paragraph reviews followed by "10/10" or "9/10". As well as replying to a comment with "People found this review helpful!"
• "My grotty piss stained toilet". ^Explanation An unusually eloquent phrase from Arrival in Hell.
• Most of the reviews featured in the Meet 'n Fuck Kingdom riff became memes very quickly.
  • "[Unrelated statement] and my cock is huge".
  • "My laptop is full of cum".
  • "I love sex awesome fuck".
• Titty-mmm-bop-bop-tittays. ^Explanation A Newgrounds review featured in Chip Cheezum's riff of XIN #11 asked for more of these.
• From Zap Dramatic's works:
  • Drumrolls. ^Explanation Used for particularly narmy moments in Ambition.
  • Helen shrieking like a banshee and using a violin as an Improvised Weapon. ^Explanation A particularly Narmful moment from episode 5.
  • Pastries. ^Explanation In the middle of a marriage counselling session, Helen tells the player "Have a pastry", derailing the conversation into one about her cooking.
  • "Because I'm a terrorist!" ^Explanation Duke says this in the final episode out of nowhere. Because of his nasally child-like voice, slowbeef and Diabetus lose it.
  • Persuasion Power. ^Explanation Sir Basil Pike Elementary School incorporates a mechanic wherein the player must gain power to persuade others into following their choices. The fanbase has run with it.

Wrongpuraes

• Derived from Dark Seed II:
  • Woe be unto those YouTube videos featuring someone named Mike Dawson ever since the Dark Seed II RP, such as this. May your comments be filled with confusing references to such.
  • "[Name], did you kill Rita?" ^Explanation Throughout the second game, Mike asks various characters if they killed Rita. Quickly became a Discredited Meme for many (including slowbeef himself).
  • "Here Mike, this will explain everything." ^Explanation Late in the game, Mike comes across his own mother in the Dark World, who says this and immediately dies of a head explosion. Diabetus' hysterical reaction to this made it the Signature Scene of the entire LP.
  • Paul. ^Explanation A side character who does nothing but stand in one spot and water his lawn all day, speaking in a Creepy Monotone. He became an Ensemble Dark Horse quickly.
  • Mike Dawson is a Memetic Loser.
  • Ring toss. ^Explanation A good portion of the game is spent trying to figure out a way to win at ring toss, and Mike loses every single time he tries normally. It quickly caught on as part of his character.
    • "'Ey, you missed, pal." ^Explanation The carnie nearby says this whenever you miss.
  • "I don't think Ik and Uk are going to molest me any more." ^Explanation A rather poorly-worded quote from Mike Dawson.
  • Shrimp Baby. ^Explanation The Colossus' larval form gets this nickname from the duo.
• BYE. ^Explanation Harvester uses this as a prompt to end conversations, which leads to a lot of Narmy moments.
  • You always were a kidder, [name]. ^Explanation Steve, the game's protagonist, gets told this a lot.
• The town theme from King's Quest V. ^Explanation Said theme is considered incredibly annoying, something which is taken into Nightmare Fuel territory by the longplayer in a bonus video.
• Alone in the Dark's incredibly polygonal graphics.
• Rock Knight. ^Explanation An Ensemble Dark Horse Memetic Badass from Space Adventure Cobra, whose use of The Power of Rock is legendary.
  • Parrot Grass the spy. ^Explanation Late in the game, a scene where Parrot Grass is revealed to be an imposter features an incredible amount of Funny Moments, sending the duo into a laughing fit.
• John Mayor catching things. ^Explanation A scene in Deep Fear shows the game's protagonist offhandedly catching a keycard, which quickly became a memetic part of his character.
• Psycho Killer: The titular killer running. ^Explanation One death scene in the game shows the killer running towards the camera in an incredibly goofy fashion. Then someone paired it up with◊ a scene from the intro to Dark Seed II...
• From Shadow of the ............ Comet videos, padding posts with lots of ellipses and blank lines. ^Explanation It's a voice-acted game that suffers from terribly paced dialog with lots of unnatural pauses, possibly caused by Loads and Loads of Loading.
• Sonic the Hedgehog (2006):
  • "Hey." ^Explanation This is what most NPCs say whenever they are talked to.
  • "Was this underwater?" ^Explanation A particularly moronic question asked during the Aquatic Base level by Silver to nobody in particular.
  • HIS WOOOORLD. ^Explanation The first time slowbeef and Diabetus reach the ending credits, the ridiculous ending theme catches them completely off guard.
    • ALL HAIL SHADOW. ^Explanation Said ridiculousness gets turned up to eleven in Shadow's ending theme.
• Afterfall: Insanity:
  • Fire axes. ^Explanation Fire axes are found nearly everywhere in Afterfall, and are the best all-around melee weapon. Slowbeef uses the fire axe almost exclusively, and always swaps it out when he finds a new one.
  • "A life-sized FUCKING model!" ^Explanation A late-game moment causes Albert to completely flip out.
  • "True, true. Fucking memes." ^Explanation For no reason at all, one of the security guards in the ending cinematic speaks only in sentences consisting of "True, true. Fucking ______."

Other

• Battletoads. ^Explanation Diabetus is associated with the series, mostly since he LPed two Battletoads games early in his career.
• Take Thats at Metroid: Other M. ^Explanation slowbeef and Diabetus really do not like Other M.
• The Gaming in the Clinton Years videos are a fountain of these.
  • Variations of "I have a challenge for (game development company). In the next (game the development company makes), (main character) gets (terminal disease or crippling disadvantage)." ^Explanation Derived from Wood's infamous quote asking for Eidos to make a Tomb Raider III where Lara gets breast cancer. Oftentimes, people will respond with "Metal Gear Solid 4. Done."
    • Likewise, George's idea for a racing game where you must race to the hospital to deliver your wife's baby and obey traffic laws has caught on (particularly with mentions of going through waterfalls, also from the same review).
  • "Donkey Kong Country is truly perfect. If you do not get this amazing new generation of Donkey Kong Country madness, you are stupid. Yes, I know it's insulting, but that's also the truth. If you're a true video game fan, you will not hesitate in the slightest bit to buy this piece of gaming history." ^Explanation Another particularly absurd quote.
  • "This game was disappointingly enjoyable." ^Explanation George Wood's review of Symphony of the Night was rather... conflicted, to say the least.
  • If (X) doesn't have (Y), I'm committing suicide! ^Explanation Based on quite the parting statement from Wood in regards to voice overs in Final Fantasy IX.
  • Bill Clinton one-liners. ^Explanation At the start of almost every GTCY RP, Diabetus makes some cheesy Bill Clinton joke, to the point of being lampshaded by (an audibly annoyed) slowbeef. A compilation of all these jokes can be found here.
• The "Crappy Pasta" series has inspired several comments mocking poorly-written video game Creepypasta, all including some number of the following clichés:
  • Excess blood.
  • "Hyper-realistic" graphics.
  • Excessive mentioning of hyper realistic blood.
  • Comparisons to things from other video games.
  • "Curiosity got the best of me".
  • "I figured it was just a glitch". ^Explanation A common cliché in video game creepypastas where the protagonist assumes the game in question doing bizarre and unexplainable behavior as a mere glitch and ignores it.
  • "Was the game hacked?"
  • Strangely specific time intervals.
  • Objects from the game appearing in nightmares or real life.
  • Sdrawkcab Name (only appeared in "The True Rorroh", but abused so badly there as to be memorable).
  • HEAR ITS CRY! ^Explanation Arc Words from Blood Whistle.
• Trivial corrections in YouTube comments now tend to be followed with "100 yen is not a lot of money." ^Explanation Derived from a Pokémon-related video, where slowbeef makes a joke implying that 100 yen is a lot of money, and later lampshading his own lack of fact-checking.
• Goddamnit slowbeef, stop putting your wife in everything! ^Explanation slowbeef's wife is a bit of a Base-Breaking Character on his own channel, with some detractors not only invoking the Casting Couch, but showing their anger on the few Retsupurae videos where she does appear. In a backlash to the backlash, the Retsupurae fans will now accuse every female co-commentator of secretly being slowbeef's wife, even if they sound nothing alike and have a totally different sense of humour.
  • This gets acknowledged at the start of the Snow Job wrongpurae.
  slowbeef: (While introducing co-commentator damehasclass) That is not my wife, by the way...
• Copy/pasting the Wall of Text "About this Project" notice from "The Best Website! All It Needs is Crowdfunding!!" in Kickstarter Nonstarters videos ^Explanation In addition to the text's absurdity, it appears more than once, slightly altered for some reason, and then again in the FAQ, and again when Diabetus pledges $1 so he can post it as a backer comment. ^{Full Text} Google Has dedicated 1 Billion Dollars to giving the world free wifi access through satellites, so soon even in third world countries they will have our refurbished smartphones. All of us need funding for a Website. The Website, will be the most popular website in history. it's existence is inevitable, and the public needs it. The world needs it. The Website is a list of the world's and everyone's problems, that get prioritized to the top of its lists by (basically being voted on) with a star rating system. Imagine if everyone had access directly to our leaders instantly every day. Those in charge would know exactly what's important to everyone without any doubt whatsoever. We would have a voice that we could point to and say "look, this many people, everyday use this medium and voice their opinion, it's equal, it's fair, it's just, and everyone who wants one gets a voice". Then our leaders would be able to and dedicate resources to the problems which make it to the top of the lists, and have the best solutions to all the problems already agreed upon, and things would just get done without any red tape, politics, shady backroom deals, or corruption. We would know what the most important issues are, in realtime, and we would know the best solutions for those problems, in realtime.The proprietary features are it's well traversable categories, search tree, & once a day you are able to vote from 1 to 100 stars on submittable lists of what you think the world, and others most important to solve problems are, only once per day. However you are also able to submit as many problems to the bottom of the lists as you want, and whichever problems have the most stars from the most people, get put at the top of the lists. Also you are able to submit as many solutions to each of the problems as you can think of, and the top solutions to the top world & other problems, with the most stars from the most people are put at the top of the solution list for each of the worlds, and others problems. Also the problems are traversable similar to an eBay search tree, and there are individually categorized & subcategorized priority lists made from the same proprietary star rating system, so that the website is incorruptible, and the data is irrefutable. I don't know about you, but if I have a problem, I would rather have my entire neighborhood, or rather the entire world helping me solve my problems, than me trying to come up with solutions to all my problems on my own, So that would be why anyone would be allowed to add what they think the best solution, to the solutions list that each problem will have, and everyone gets to rate the solutions on the list with the star rating system. Every minute of every day with the star rating system we will get to change our opinions once a day for each star rating, and have real time prioritized problems of the world and others. Also real time, the most agreed upon solutions, and real time and dedication of resources the most efficient way possible. This, will be, one day inevitably in the information age. There is no, more efficient way. There are also sub-categories besides just the major world issues for example groups that are individualized by categories that are searchable, and traversable similar to the way the eBay search tree is traversable and searchable, and the solutions that other people have submitted for those problems uses the proprietary star rating system making it all function more efficiently than we'll ever be able accomplish the world and others problems in any other way. The only thing more important than a system of this efficiency being in place, and functioning as the way we do things for the human race is clean free energy. This website will literally be the 2nd most important, and efficient thing our species will ever do. It will organize, and bring an end to so many of the world's problems, so much more quickly because we will no longer be able to argue were resources should be dedicated. Also, so many individuals problems will be solved with the best solutions possible, in the most efficient way, and it will also bring us together as more of one world rather than separate people, separate towns, separate cities, separate states, and separate countries. We will function as more of one world working together. It will accomplish several unique things in several unique aspects which make it the most efficient thing that we will ever do as a species besides clean free energy, that is possible with our laws of physics, and it will last as an ever more and more encompassing part of the human system, and perpetuate forever. It will become the standard of the way that we do things rather than politics. The information age is how things are being done, and everyone who cares at all about what's going on in the world will have the ability to impact direct change quickly and efficiently, and the people of the world will be deciding in real time what should be a collaborative effort of the world and our resources, especially with Google giving everyone free wifi with their billion dollar dedication to the effort. What we all need the start-up money for is to start with to get a hosting company to host the website on the first of many "DEDICATED SERVERS", and the advertizing to bring awareness of the site to the public it will serve, then the website will pay for itself with Google Adwords. Your donation, your Kickstart or Gofundme of this project will go towards increasing the rate at which we evolve our society into a utopian society. Thank you for your time. P.S. please repost, link to, message, email, text, and tell as many people about the Kickstart and the gofundme as possible, because that helps almost as much as donating, thank you again.

• Dahir Insaat's quadcopters. ^Explanation After several videos in which Dahir Insaat tries to unconvincingly pitch the use of quadcopters for transport and warfare, fans began mockingly suggesting them as the ideal solution to all of Dahir Insaat's problems.
