Stu: "You seem worried. What's the matter?"
jayRiott: "The deadline for our next video is coming up and I can't think of an intro for it."
Stu: "Don't you usually mess with a clip of someone singing that one Michael J. Fox song? Why not just do that again?"
jayRiott: "I don't wanna do that. YouTube demonetized me earlier this year and wouldn't tell me why, but I think it was because they saw the intro to one of my older videos and thought that they're all just made up of other people's clips."
Stu: "Oh. Well don't worry! I'm sure you'll-DIE IN MINECRAFT!"

Ready? Sego!
- Awesome, but Impractical: In Death 19, a player is slain as they're fighting the Ender Dragon while gliding around in an Elytra, something the title describes as "ill-advised but very entertaining".
- Bait-and-Switch: The trailer for this one has Jake sifting through a small idea barrel, implied to be his 50 Ways video idea barrel. When Ned tries to tell them to at least quit with the 50 Ways series, Jake corrects Ned by saying that's actually his 50 Ways trailer idea barrel. His real 50 Ways idea barrel is right next to it, and it is huge."DEAR NOTCH, IT'S ABOUT TO GO NUCLEAR!"
- Forced Transformation:
- Death 11 shows Breadstick turn into a cactus after putting on a set of Thorns 255 Armor.
- Death 31 shows him put on a set of armor with Blast Protection 145 and turn into a block of obsidian.
- Gone Horribly Right:
- Breadstick, as Forced Transformation above tells you, is turned into a cactus and obsidian block after putting on Thorns 255 and Blast Protection 145 respectively in deaths 11 and 31.
- Double subversion; Sabrina, in order to survive a long fall, drinks a potion of Slowfall 147. While it seems to actually work since it stops her mid-fall and lasts for 3 seconds, fall damage in Minecraft is based on distance and not speed.
- Jerkwad launches a crowdfunding campaign in another attempt to make money. The campaign was so successful that the resultant money bag crushes him.
- "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: Death 39 has some small text pop up to say that yes, expired water is apparently real.
- Running Gag Stumbles: As shown in the page quote above, this is the first episode to not start with a dubbed-over clip of someone singing 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, as Jake Eyes believed those intros caused his channel to be demonetized. All following videos would do the same, dubbing over some other clip, usually from a popular video game.
- Spiked Blood: Death 26: A vampire attempts to drink Stu's blood, but Stu reveals that he's contemplating drinking bug repellent, since he's worried it'll kill all his pet ticks. The vampire realizes this before succumbing to Lyme Disease.
- Shout-Out:
- Death 4 has Smokey the Bear kill Finn for forgetting to put out his campfire.
- The girl who mows Feed Me down with her crossbows in death 16 is clearly channeling Heavy Weapons Guy.
- Death 20 is straight up titled "Half-Life Air Duct Muscle Memory".
- Death 24 has End Guy get killed by the Dragon Egg, who shows up using Inigo Montoya's ever famous quote.
- Death 27 includes a squad of Clone Troopers.
- Death 42 shows a miner breaking into a Skeleton Dungeon, before immediately cutting to a clip from RoboCop (1987), showing the skeletons shooting the player, with the blood censored, of course.
- Sore Loser: In Death 40, an admin of a server bans Brandon for beating them in spleef.
- Too Dumb to Fool: Stu finally gets a last laugh in Death 50, where Ned tries to trick him into doing the "there are no trucks in Minecraft" gag. Thanks to Stu's Literal-Minded brain, he's slowly but surely able to perform reverse psychology, and prove to Ned that trying to cut your Running Gag never works in the 50 Ways universe.
- Underestimating Badassery: FeedMe tries to shoot someone with a crossbow, but thanks to his Stormtrooper practice skills at firing, he misses the shot and can only look in shock as the person he shot at pulls out an entire hotbar packed to the gills with crossbows.
- Vocal Dissonance: The girl in death 16 speaks with the voice of Heavy Weapons Guy.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: Poor Gingerbread Man gets it in death 41, where he nearly finishes his iconic Catchphrase, but then…Gingerbread Man, to a group of Wither Skeletons he's blocking off: Crouch, crouch, crouch, as low as you can! You can't reach me, I'm the Gingerbread-
Ghast: (shoots a fireball at the barrier, making it big enough for said Wither Skeletons to get through the passage)
Gingerbread Man: …corpse.
