History Series / AtMidnight

While most of the "rounds" are topical and change nightly, there are some common rounds, such as "Rapid Refresh" (multiple-choice questions), "Hashtag Wars" (a SpeedRound), the "Live Challenge" (a task which is done by the contestants over the commercial break; it usually involves writing a review for a product), and then another speed round, after which the lowest scorer is eliminated. The game concludes with "FTW", where the final two have to perform one more task; the two responses (but not who wrote them) are shown to the StudioAudience, and the contestant whose response garnishes the most applause wins the Internet.

* SincerityMode: When a guy was recorded losing his shit over the results of the 2014 RoyalRumble (and basically said no guy has an excuse to not have a girlfriend), he recorded another video of him losing his shit at Chris Hardwick. He declared that his words might have been a little hurtful, and sent the guy a replacement lamp and one of his stand-up specials on DVD (knowing that he very well might break them anyway).

* OnceAnEpisode: Rapid Refresh is always the first category.

* ApprovalOfGod: More than once they've used the category "Wrestling/TheIronSheik: Real or Jabroni?", where they examine tweets from Sheik's Twitter feed and the contestants are quizzed on whether he likes something (the Real) or not (Jabroni). Sheik has since voiced his approval of the skit...[[PrecisionFStrike the only way he knows how]].

** And also Buzz Speed, where you have to name off a topic for a [=BuzzFeed=] list.

* BrickJoke: Responses from earlier in an episode will often become a brick joke in the FTW round; in fact, one occurred within the very first episode.

* ForegoneConclusion: Happens quite a bit with the responses in "FTW", as they will often contain a BrickJoke from earlier in the episode that makes it obvious who wrote it. For instance, Kumail Nanjiani's "#butt" running gag in the very first episode.
