Ready? Sego!
- Bad Boss: Death 18 shows what happens when the CEO of the TNT warehouse refuses to allow employees to take sick days, leading to a Sneeze of Doom that blows up the warehouse. Again.
- Beyond the Impossible: Somehow, Stu is playing Minecraft on a calculator that he thinks is a modded Gameboy Color.
- Bowdlerise: In Death 22, swears from Vaas Montenegro's dialogue were dubbed over with "fluking" and "poop" to fit the family-friendly theme of the series.
- Call-Back:
- Death 20 brings back the Ye Old Pre-1.9 Person and her Stylistic Suck setting from Part 6.
- Death 48 calls back to the final death in Part 6, where Ned and Snake try (and fail) to trick Stu into blowing himself up with a command. This time, he comes to them saying that the comments section told him that they were doing the wrong command. When the command doesn't work, Ned angrily explains that that old command was changed long ago and almost blows himself up again, but moves the explosion 10 blocks away. Unfortunately for Ned, Stu happens to be standing exactly 10 blocks away from him, and naively follows suit.
- Forced Transformation: In Death 5, SabrinaTheNewAgeWitch drinks a potion of Turtle Master 187, turns into a baby turtle, and is killed by a Drowned.
- Grammar Nazi: Redstone Ned, being the Insufferable Genius that he is, can't ever let it go when someone uses the wrong form of a word or incorrectly defines something. Unsurprisingly, he always dies because of this.
- In Death 22, he corrects fluking Vaas Montenegro on the definition of insanity, failing to see how this is not the time or place for it. Vaas shoots him for this.
- In Death 33, in response to the previous death where a Creeper says "cactuses", Ned snootily states the plural form of cactus is "cacti". He is then crushed by an article that highlights that neither form is right or wrong.
- This is parodied immediately after, with Stu (having confused "plural" with "purple") saying that the purple form of cactus is the Santa Rita prickly pear. An article falls behind him, confirming that he's right.
- Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: A variation. Death 40 shows a standoff between two old west bandits, except one of them has a potato. Obviously, the bandit with the gun kills him; however...
- Never Bring a Gun to a Knife Fight: ...the very next death shows the same situation, except the man with the potato throws it at the other, killing him instantly.
- Reality-Breaking Paradox: Death 44 shows a player putting a shulker box inside of another shulker box, opening up a black hole.
- Running Gag: Finn falling into a sand-covered ravine and dying. He even tries to get Stu to take the fall for him, like he did for the chorus trees, but this time he avoids falling into the ravine, only for a creeper to blow him up.
- Shout-Out:
- Death 11 re-enacts a scene from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
- Vaas Montenegro gives a captured Ned his "definition of insanity" speech, only for Ned, the Grammar Nazi that he is, to correct him on the real definition of insanity. Vaas shoots him.
- Stuff Blowing Up: While present here and there as usual, the trope is exaggerated in Death 49, in which a very unfortunate pirate end up at the epicenter of a colossal explosion due to, quoth the death title, "Following a Map to the Designated Impact Zone of a Nuclear Warhead Test".
- Take That!: The intro mentions that A Little Help With Carol Burnette does not count as Carol Burnette.
- Too Dumb to Live:
- In Death 2, Stu eats a Dark Oak Trap Door thinking it's dark chocolate.
- Death 21 shows YouTuber SloJo filming an unboxing video knowing full well that the crate he's opening has hungry Siberian tigers inside.
- In Death 37, Stu attempts to build a bridge across an ocean of lava using… wood planks. The bridge itself is close enough to the lava to be set on fire. Unsurprisingly, the bridge ignites, burning Stu to death.
- Stu almost averts this in the final death, where he responds to a comment requesting a death via eating a TNT block. He says he's not dumb enough to do this, before immediately eating a Magma Block.
"Spicy." (dies) - Troll: SnakeTheJaik.
- In Death 3, he removes the water from Ned's TNT cannon, blowing him up. Ned gets him back in Death 8 though, even throwing his Signature Laugh back at him.
- In Death 6, he tricks a whole crowd of people into thinking they're gonna meet Exploding TNT, only for them to discover they're meeting a bunch of literal exploding TNT.
- In Death 47, he made a fake tutorial on how to get free diamonds, which had poor Stu get crushed by an anvil.
- Visual Pun: Living in New York, the city that never sleeps, is hazardous in the world of Minecraft, as phantoms spawn when you don't sleep, as shown in Death 38.
