* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Count Donut, a vampire from Donutvania who kills Justin and takes over his body to do Munch Squads about Halloween themed donuts. When he's not running Munch Squad he lies dormant within Justin's body and when he emerges Justin's soul is sent to Hell until Count Donut withdraws. Also he's sick of ''every single ad'' talking about the trying times of COVID-19.

Fungalore is explicitly not a religious figure


* AnthropomorphicPersonification: During the naming of 2024, the brothers -- rather than simply naming it some kind of rhyming or pun-based platitude -- ended up creating "Fungalore", a personification of the year ''and'' an all-mighty entity capable of hearing wishes ([[ExactWords though not necessarily granting them]]). While brainstorming the character, they settled on him being some kind of godly MushroomMan, a design that's made it onto official merch.

Expanded the intro


''My Brother, My Brother, & Me'', often abbreviated ''[=MBMBaM=]'',[[note]]pronounced "muh-bim-bam"[[/note]] is a comedy podcast that describes itself as "an advice show for the [[VerbalTic modren]] era". The titular brothers ([[Creator/McElroyBrothers Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy]]) take questions from their listeners and try their best to help them out with their personal problems. As the disclaimer that opens each show notes, this advice often isn't the greatest. Frequently, one of the brothers will say something that'll send the three of them off on a tangent of non-sequiturs. Their listeners will also sometimes submit questions found on Yahoo Answers (a service they are convinced is filled with "the terrible dregs of humanity"), and will mock them while still trying to help them out.

The brothers were given the opportunity to bring their show into a live action format, with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK7y7POw0yA first season]] airing in February 2017 on Seeso, and moving to Creator/{{VRV}} Select after Seeso announced its plans for closure in August 2017.

Most episodes also include a "Munch Squad" segment, "a podcast within a podcast" where the brothers make fun of fast food chain press releases. Other recurring bits happen less frequently.

*** Starting October 2023, Travis began a [[RunningGag running bit]] of describing his arc of becoming a social media influencer, introducing himself in several podcasts with "[[CharacterCatchphrase Whaddup, [=TravNation=]? Woof-Woof!]]" before engaging [[ShamelessSelfPromoter in gimmicky, sometimes less-than-savory activities for and attention money]], from shilling "Strawberry and Banana Bonanza Testicle Festival Shakes" (with a 20% discount code: "TRAVNATION") to promoting [=NFTs=] that immediately flatline in value.

*** "Work Of Fart" is Travis's latest bit. The premise is simple: Travis reads the synopsis of a classic work of art (typically a fiction novel), changed to include some element of ToiletHumor. Griffin and Justin then compete to guess the work in question and the ToiletHumor PunnyName Travis gave it that inspired the clue. For example:
--->"Heathcliff plots revenge, now that he has money, against the woman who spurned him--and also, he can't stop pooping." ([[Literature/WutheringHeights Wuthering Shites]])

* ShoutOut: One of the Yahoo Answers questions submitted asked for help naming a ''Literature/WarriorCats'' character.

to:

* ShoutOut: One The boys ''love'' making references to whatever TV shows, games, movies, music, etc. they be interested in during almost every other minute of their podcast, far too many examples to list. Perhaps the Yahoo Answers questions submitted asked for help naming one era that they specifically strove to ''[[SubvertedTrope avoid]]'' making references to other media (and even then, specifically of new releases) was during [[UsefulNotes/TVStrikes the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes]] -- when both finally came to a ''Literature/WarriorCats'' character.close by episode 686, the brothers were ecstatic of ''finally'' being allowed to reference movies and TV again.

*** "Celebrity Wine? Wine Not!" was a game where Justin would read the name of a celebrity-owned wine and the other boys had to guess who the celebrity was, as well as what score the wine received on a wine review blog.

** Episode 674 starts off normally enough, but a Money Zone kicks in without explanation or transition less than a quarter into the episode. Afterwards, the brothers end up doing a [=WikiHow=] segment that goes completely off the deep end as [[ItMakesSenseInContext they end up brainstorming a 10-floor rave that breaks through time and metaphysics called "Plato's Rave"]], being so engrossed with the concept that they don't realize how much time they've spent until ''50 minutes in'', effectively filling out the rest of the show ([[BrickJoke at the very end, they realize they also skipped the Money Zone and would have to abruptly edit it back in]]).

Besides that, the brothers also do a yearly side podcast with Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery of ''Podcast/TheWorstIdeaOfAllTime'' fame, called ''Podcast/TilDeathDoUsBlart''. The premise is somewhat similar to that of ''Worst Idea'': watch and review ''Film/PaulBlartMallCop 2'' on every American Thanksgiving until the end of time.
