History Podcast / FistsharkMarketing

* PaedoHunt: Their attempted spin-off of ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'', called ''Fifteen And a Half Men'', seemed to alienate the focus group because of the UnfortunateImplications of fifteen grown men living, without explanation, [[SexSlave with an underage boy]]. Of course, the executives are completely blindsided by the criticisms of the show, completely missing the creepy subtext of the premise.

* BodyHorror: From episode 94, the first skit is about the pharmacy's worth of drugs Conrad and Jim take, half of which are to counteract the effects of the other half, including a [[TheFly BrundleFly]] situation with Jim's fingernails and feces that smell like mold.

* {{Corpsing}}: The show is improvised, so it's inevitable that this would happen on occasion. Sometimes you might here a bit of a chuckle in the background, or somebody giggling as they say or react to a particularly funny line. If anyone completely breaks character, it's relegated to a little BlooperReel at the end.

* {{Expy}}: The show started because previous ButtMonkey Jonathan Holmes quit Podcast/TheDismalJesters. Jonathan's role as object of Jim's horrible ideas is now filled by Craig the Intern, who [[TheUnseen never actually appears on the show]].

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Craig is universally despised by everyone, even his own parents, who leave cryptic voicemails to Jim demanding that he continue with his abusive behavior of their son.

The series is now complete at 145 episodes, which can be viewed [[http://fistshark.com/ here]].

** At one point, Jim manages to perfect a zombie formula, but needs something to test it on and demonstrate it to potential buyers, so he also perfects human cloning and builds several underground replicas of major cities to show off the zombie plague. He is absolutely baffled as to why people keep bringing the point back around to the cloning, when he's trying to sell people on the zombies.

* KarmaHoudini: The [=FistShark=] executives never suffer long-term consequences for their actions, no matter how insane or ultimately disastrous they wind up being. [[spoiler:Or at least Jim and Conrad don't; Caitlin dies dive-tackling Willem DaFoe out a window and Paulson is violently murdered by Jim and Conrad who think he's a robot.]]

** This is the primary joke behind the episode "Equus Mortuus." [[spoiler: The name means "dead horse" in Latin, because all three of the episode's segments are increasingly-obvious puns about organizations whose names are associated with [[PaedoHunt pedophiles,]] with the final segment being about Office Depot [[CaptainObvious wanting to rename themselves to Pedo-Files]].]]
