* HarsherInHindsight: ''Fake Players'' features a blatant presentation of bots populating an otherwise empty server. This will be harder to sit through knowing that as of 2020s the hacker and bot count has drastically increased making the game much more unplayable outside of community servers.

Krunkidile himself would end up updating the description, lampshading how the video as it was originally released was entirely out of date.

** ''Let go'' by M-flo is used in "Overextending and Overcommitting", and seems to have been chosen because of its {{mondegreen}} lyrics halfway through the song.

** "Mercy" from the same video has lyrics about someone trying to escape an empty life while surrounded by people who are in the same rut; if the "empty life" in question is a bot-filled server and the people "looking lost and lethal" are the bots, it fits Soldier's cathartic rage like a glove. Additionally, the video starts from the second verse, which is more blatantly about how some things are ephemeral and you need to watch for them, like how the video advises the player to be vigilant against botted servers and understand that any enjoyment that comes from them is fleeting at best.

** ''Frolic'' by Lucio Mancini, while already a well-established song used in meme videos on acts of stupidity and foolhardiness, the name can also refer to the bots in "Fake Players" frolicking around doing little of anything.
** ''Sneakman'' by Hideki Nakanuma is the Spy's Leitmotif in ''Subtlety'' and ''Objectives''; the name being in clear reference to Spy being an infiltrator of the classes.

* MisaimedFandom: Part of the reason why Krunkidile doesn't enjoy making Team Service Announcement videos as much is due to this trope. The series was made to appeal to newer players who don't know any of the tricks of the trade when it comes to playing the game. However, the majority of viewers and commenters on TSA tend to be veteran players who see the videos as a satirization of incompetent players for their entertainment.

** ''Sentry Knockback'' has "Testarossas For Everyone", but according to the fans, the only "good part of the song" is the first 28 seconds of it (which is where the song is cut off in the video itself). Though it's still awesome because of the Ubered-Medic blocking a Sentry by twerking in front of it.
