* RunningGag: Whenever the hosts try to pronounce the second part of the show's name, it often gets bleeped out. In fact, it started out literally in its first episode to which the hosts were deciding a name for the show. From there, Frosk suggested a word that was censored with the aforementioned bleep. In later episodes whenever someone asks what the word in the title is, it's censored with the bleep.

* RunningGag: RunningGag:
** The Esports Update is done every episode and it's a cold read off the prompter, where both Frosk and Ovilee say that they haven't seen what was written beforehand and the writer can make them say anything.

* ShoutOut: From time to time, the show would make references to show's from G4 namely Attack of the Show as well as outside the channel. To illustrate in the third episode of the show, one of the 'sponsors' they showcased was a 'Kevin-Up' soda drink (a mashup of Kevin Pereira and the well-known 7-Up soda). In another example, the VENN (competitor to G4) channel was referenced when Goldenboy signed off mentioning VENN Esports instead of G4 Esports by mistake.
