Trivia / MentalCast

• Corpsing:
  • Any time Alex Jowski reads the names of Bollywood movies and the actors of said movies elicits this from the rest of the cast.
  • Taylor's joke about Steve Irwin not feeling his face from the Black Comedy entry above caused the cast to do this.
  • The entire #MacCorkle bit had everyone in stitches, just due to the sound of the word. Made even worse when Chelsea Tarkington mentioned it would be her new safe word.
  • Any of the "Neutral Milk Hotel" moments from the Berserk Button entry caused this.
  • An early example: Mike was reading a story about sending sperm for concert tickets, when Chris McClain exclaimed "Slipknot, here I come!" The entendre was unintentional, but it caused Mike, Brad Jones (no, not the Cinema Snob) and Taylor to crack up.
  • In December of 2014, Mike went on an unprecidented run of funny Benedict Cumberbatch names that caused the cast to crack up with laughter. Among the funny names were Burgerking Tennismatch, Benedryl Claritin and, Chelsea's favorite, Bulbasaur Candygram. Even Cat Lencione got in on the fun with Benabuddy Cuddlebuns.
  • In the summer of 2010, Mike was reading a news story about Nintendo bringing streaming content to the Wii. He made a mistake and said "steaming content," and Dane Forgione began doing an impression of Mario having sex, followed by Wario saying "I'm a-Wario, I'm-a gonna jump in!" This broke the entire cast.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The errors from 411mania become this because former cast member Wyatt Estabrooks became a writer for 411mania following his departure from the show.
• Never Work with Children or Animals: During episode #199, Alex's cat was in heat and constantly talking in the background. Dane Forgione attempted to talk with it, then Fred Fritz came up with a vulgar "snarf" joke that he wouldn't tell.
  • Made even worse when Alex Jowski looked up the Urban Dictionary definition of "snarfing": "having sex while yelling 'snarf'."
  • Iason Skullsaber later, during the Best of 2012 episode, looked up a different definition, which he started to read, but was cut off by Michael Riley.
• Real Song Theme Tune: For the first year or so of the show's existence, the show would open up with the first few bars of any random rock or pop song. This changed around mid-2008, when the theme to Invader Zim became the theme.
  • The theme changed again with the three-year anniversary in 2010, when the theme song from the sketch comedy show The Edge became the theme. This was the theme show of the song for about 7 years.
  • Played with currently as, despite the song being free use, the current theme, "Break Your Line" by Ameobacrew, is actually a real song.
