Candy Tried:

- Crunchers
Tropes in this episode:
- And Your Reward Is Edible: Dermot and George are 'bribed' with Heineken to participate.George: Colin, there is absolutely no way you can get us to do a "peanut butter" video. (Cue sliding bottles.)
- Ask a Stupid Question...:Colin: What do you not like about it?Dermot: ...Is this your version of a Snuff Movie?
- Berserk Button: Dermot and George don't like peanut butter (Dermot will even rant about it). Now... what are they trying in this video?
- Comically Missing the Point
- Designer Babies: On one of the snacks, they notice the packaging claimed it used a GMO. Donal asks, "What is this? A fetus?"
- Description Cut: George and Dermot ask if they could just review the wrappers instead; cue Serina saying 'nice packaging'.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: "It's really peanut-y. Would you believe it?"
-
Ho Yay: Played with, when John and LJG mark a p.b. cup for a game of Spin the Bottle - Loophole Abuse: Tried, but averted, in an attempt to avoid eating any peanut butter.Do we actually have to taste them? -or are we just reacting to the packaging?"
- Instantly Proven Wrong: George thinks there's "absolutely no way" they can be made to eat peanut butter. See And Your Reward Is Edible for how it turns out.
- Mystery Meat: When Serina notices that the Snacksters are "Partially produced with genetic engineering.", Donal wonders "What is this?"
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: "This would be a hell of a turnaround if we actually liked one of these."
- Spin the Bottle: Apparently, peanut butter cups, when scored with an arrow, can be spun around just like a bottle in the game....
- Shout-Out:
- E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: The Product Placement gets discussed.
- "Why couldn't we watch some Shane Dawson bullshit instead?"
- This Is Going to Suck: George makes a flippant remark- "We're sharing these with a lot of people, so don't stuff yourself on these bad boys."- about the Miniature Cups. Colin, the producer, immediately tells him, "Well, you're actually the last pair, so you can if you want."Dermot: Oh, you son of a bitch.
