* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: All of them, but especially Jon randomly sticking accessories on everything and trying to break the game.
* AuthorCatchphrase: In episode 10, with them all using AntiquatedLinguistics, Chugga likes using the words 'orthodox' and 'barbaric' a lot. Jon calls him out at one point for using 'orthodox' in a context where it doesn't really make sense.
* BadImpressionists: Chugga's attempt at Creator/StephenFry (the narrator) sounds more like a cross between [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Bane]] and ScoobyDoo. [[{{Troll}} Of course,]] after Jon complains, he proceeds to read out every text box in the voice, even if it's not something Creator/StephenFry narrates in the game.
** In episode 9, Jon thinks attempts at Japanese accents by Chugga and Lucah respectively sound more like ScoobyDoo and Kyle's mum from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
* BookEnds: The first episode ends with Jon enlarging a King of Hearts card, yelling "AND THE KING OF ALL CAAAAAAAAARDS!" while doing so. The finale begins with the guys discussing the King of All Cards as though he is a wanted criminal, and Jon enlarges the card again.
** Also, the guys (without Lucahjin) were playing ''Wii Party'' before they switched to this game, then went back to ''Wii Party'' when they finished. So the weeks directly before and after this collab started had ''Wii Party'' videos.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Lucah borrows Tim's "IN THE BATHROOM!" in the finale.
* CallBack:
** Lucahjin makes several references to [[HelloInsertNameHere MAH BALLS]] from her Barbie LP, including her character's costume.
** Jon's Mexican Waluigi voice appears again in Episode 6, this time with Waluigi as a detective.
** In the finale, NCS compares a stage to one in ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' and he and Jon mention the race of that game they both took part in.
* CameraScrew: Partway into Episode 8, Tim gets left behind at a Spawn Point while the other Guys and Lucahjin are jumping over things, almost leading to their deaths.
--> '''Jon''': Okay, Camera. C'mon, Really?
* CrossPlayer: Tim as "Victorian Lady Gaga". Leads to ViewerGenderConfusion in episode 4 with Chugga accidentally referring to Tim as 'she'.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: An odd case. While the Guys were good about keeping Lucahjin's identity under wraps until the first video debuted, there were some strange references to her in the videos shortly preceding this one, what with the drug-dealer look-alike of Lucahjin outside their window when they were filming [[VideoGame/MarioParty Minigame Island]] and the computer picking "Luca" as their fourth player in ''[[VideoGame/WiiParty Board Game Island]]''. It seems the ''universe'' was foreshadowing her involvement in this LP.

%%** TheBigGuy: Tim (Victorian Music/LadyGaga)
%%** TheChick: Reese (MAH BALLS!!!)
* AGodAmI: Jon becomes slightly megalomaniac at the end of the final level...
* GoshDangItToHeck: In episode 9, NCS falls into some poisonous gas and lets out a small "fuck!". He quickly corrects himself, leading to Jon and Chugga to make their own family-friendly swears.
--> '''NCS''': Fuck!...I mean sh-sh...I mean shoot.
--> '''Jon''': Darn! Jiminy jillickers!
--> '''Chugga''': Gosh dang it.
--> '''Jon''': Consarn it.
* HurricaneOfPuns: About Chugga's Moustachioed Shark avatar in episode 2, including VideoGame/SewerShark, JumpingTheShark, and Film/{{Sharktopus}}.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In episode 6, Jon invokes it to try and explain the strangely unrelated pictures used to illustrate the Rolling Run level. "It's medium difficulty because her hair is black... [[BlackEyesOfEvil just like her eyes]]".
** He also claims repeatedly that penguins are experienced with fire.
* JapaneseRanguage: In episode 9.
* LeeroyJenkins: Chugga's playing style, leading Jon to dub him 'Impatient Shark'. The result is that he has more deaths than usual as he runs into traps, but also wins most levels because he gets most of the score bubbles before the others can.
** Lucah also quotes the TropeNamer at one point.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Their player avatars, to some extent.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Jon's reaction in episode 4 when Lucah puts on a CanadaEh accent.
** And again in episode 6 when she references "[[NeverLiveItDown MOVE FASTER, POKEY!]]"
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Everyone's avatars except for Lucahjin.
* NoIndoorVoice: All of the guys are usually vocal, but they take it UpToEleven in this LP.
* OverlyLongGag: In episode 10, they carry out the aforementioned TakeThat for an entire half hour.
** In the final episode, TheStinger: [[spoiler:"YEAH COFFEE! YEAH COFFEE! YEAH COFFEE!" Which has ''its own stinger'' where Jon reverses it: "Less coffee... less coffee... less coffee..."]]
* PerspectiveFlip: In the finale, Chugga suggests that BigBad FinalBoss The Collector is like an accomplished {{Pokemon}} player who really had [[GottaCatchThemAll caught them all]], and the Guys effectively erased his save file, making them the ''real'' villains.
* RunningGag: At the start of nearly every episode, Jon had added some ridiculous accessory to his costume (like tentacles or springy hands). Often he's put them on Lucahjin too.
** An unintentional one is that almost every episode starts with a disclaimer about how something or other has gone wrong with technical aspects of the recording. Eventually they start to lampshade this.
** Another unintentional one is that every time they're about to explain something general about the game, [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny they get distracted and never end up doing it]].
** Jon's habit of sticking hipster glasses on things getting [[RefugeInAudacity bigger and more audacious]] with every episode.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of Episode 9, Tim gets up and leaves before the group can do the outro. Jon and Chugga jokingly act like it was this.
* SimpletonVoice: Jon does a distinctive 'stoned {{Cloudcuckoolander}}' one a few times in the finale.
* TheStinger: At the end of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV3M14MbDOg finale video]], after some blank space in the video, [[spoiler:Jon going crazy with the "COFFEE" sticker]].
* TemptingFate: While riding a giant skateboard...
--> '''Tim''': As long as it doesn't flip over.
--> ''(guess what it proceeds to do mere seconds later)''
** Jon continues to weaponize TemptingFate to screw over Chugga as he did in the ''Mario Party 2'' LP.
--> '''Jon''': [[LampshadeHanging It works ''every'' time with Emile, that's all you need to do.]]
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: In episode 4, Jon puts a bow on Lucah's head instead of on her neck, so she's not "wearing it like a boy." This is the only visual clue that Lucah's a girl, since it's Tim who's playing [[CrossPlayer Victorian Lady Gaga]].
* UngratefulBastard: A ''very'' minor example; at the start of episode 5, Chugga announces that he got Tim, Jon, and Lucah gifts since he hasn't seen them in a while. Tim and Lucah are surprised and curious, but in the background, you can hear Jon sigh in annoyance. Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]], given how the last two times Chugga did this, he got [[CallBack Poison Mushrooms]].
** Then subverted, double-subverted, and PlayedForLaughs in the span of a few seconds; when Jon actually gets his gift (a "Batman For President" shirt), he seems genuinely surprised and thankful... then he covers Chugga's in-game player avatar in zebra stripes.
--> '''Chugga''': [[LampshadeHanging Is that any way to thank me?!]]
--> '''Jon''': I made you a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot rainbow shark zebra.]]
*** In Jon's defense, Chugga did eventually take a liking to the rainbow shark.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: [[{{In-universe}} Chugga]] once accidentally calls Tim 'she' due to him using a female avatar (as does Jon later), and also insists some skeletal Aztec-ish characters 'look like women', which Jon finds bizarre.
* WorldOfChaos: The game already has shades of this to start with, but it goes UpToEleven when Jon is let loose.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Castle Crashers]]
* AccidentalMisnaming: Chugga calls Jake "Stephen" in episode 6, then referenced [[MemeticMutation Steve the trooper.]] The other guys are surprised that he referenced it, as it's his main BerserkButton.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Chugga in episode 3 to the bear enemies.
--> '''Chugga:''' How does a bear make a tornado?
--> '''Jake:''' How do ''we'' make magic?
--> '''Chugga:''' 'Cause we're [[MagicKnight magical knights.]]
--> '''Jon:''' [[SeinfeldianConversation Well, they're magical bears]].
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In the second part of the finale, the guys somehow get on the topic of discussing what the Necromancer's old roommates say about him:
--> '''Jon''': "Has issue with bringing people back from [the] dead...the smell of rot is everywhere...always left the fridge door open..."
* BigNo: Done by everyone in episode 9 as they fail to escape the alien ship in time.
* BrickJoke: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voytf8GjVi4&t=337s a BreakingNCS Vlog]], Jon bought a toy gun. [[spoiler:He opens fire on Chugga in the last episode.]]
* CallBack: [=SuperJeenius=] wants both the lollipop and chainsaw items, referencing his LP of ''LollipopChainsaw''.
** Jake/ [=SuperJeenius=] is referred to as [[YouAreNumberSix 4]] [[JoshJepson v2.0]] during the intro. Later when he teams up with Jon against Chugga, Chugga says "I didn't want another Josh!"
** In episode 4, Jake also references "credit where props is due", a joke from his co-op of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' with Josh.
** Chugga comes to the realisation that he can, in fact, kick ''Jon'' out of ''his'' house, in reference to the famous incident from the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Subspace Emissary]] videos.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Jon claims Chugga has it after he agrees to form an anti-Jon alliance with Jake and then kills Jake (although Chugga says it was accidental).
** Just before that Jake formed an alliance with Jon to take out Chugga, then after realizing Jon was the bigger threat decided to join forces with Chugga against Jon, leading to an accidental RewardedAsATraitorDeserves.
* CurbStompBattle: Jon to the other Guys in episode 5.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Jake is aiming for this by increasing his strength while completely ignoring his other stats.
** He abandons this after it backfires on him in episode 5.
** Tim meanwhile focuses mostly on stamina and defense. While this means he's nigh-on impossible to kill, he does so little damage he may as well not even be fighting, and all his crazy survivability ultimately accomplishes is annoying the others in the Arena fights.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Jon states this in the finale, as he opts for committing "ritual suicide" by having his character getting killed by an NPC and not getting the ending.
* FanNickname: [[invoked]]They refer to the Cardinal animal companion as '[[VideoGame/AngryBirds the Angry Bird]]'.
* GenderBlenderName: A character limit on names means that Tim plays as "[=NintendoCapriSu=]".
* GorgeousGorgon: Chugga's opinion of the game's Medusa. He gets mocked for it.
* HypocriticalHumour: In episode 6, Chugga unexpectedly brings up [[NeverLiveItDown Steve the Trooper]], but then adds that he refuses to let anybody else make reference to him.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In episode 9 Chugga claims the nurse who gives you information on animal orbs is hot for Jon 'because she's wearing glasses'.
* InsistentTerminology: Chugga maintains that Jon is 'ten levels higher' than everyone else, despite Jon pointing out that this is "[[ItIsPronouncedTropay hyper-bowl]]".
** In episode 9, Chugga insists that the animals they ride are "[[{{Portmanteau}} Camellamas]]".
* ItIsPronouncedTropay: In episode 5, Jon mispronounces hyperbole as "hyper-bowl" (as Chugga points out).
* JokeExhaustion: Done in episode 4 with 'bee' references as soon as they enter the Flower Fields level and start fighting bees.
** Then done again in episode 10 with a corn-related HurricaneOfPuns when they fight a corn-themed boss.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently five years ago, Jon started a forest fire...in his house. With hotdogs.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Tim in episode 9 does an accent that oscillates between TheAhnold, Scottish, and VampireVords.
* StoneWall: Due to the way NCS put the majority of his stats into defense, he becomes one of these, with over 700 Hp!!!
* TheSocialDarwinist: Jake accuses Chugga of being one in episode 9 after he says the aliens deserve to die because they're weak.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Chugga saying "necrophilia is appropriate" in episode 6.
* ThatOnePlayer: The others accuse Jon of being this in episode 3.
* TookALevelInBadass: Chugga took one after he learned how to properly use his magic. Even Jon considered him a threat in the arena afterwards.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Trolls?]]
-->'''Jon:''' Because it wasn't snakes.
* WhyWontYouDie: Jon has a moment when fighting NCS in episode 11. Due to NCS's high defense (and accidental potion usage), he spent a while before he fell.
-->'''Jon:''' Tim, you are '''''ridiculous''''' to kill!
* WrongNameOutburst: Jake accidentally refers to Jon as [[LetsPlay/JoshJepson Josh]] in episode 8.

[[folder:Dokapon Kingdom]]
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Jon's reaction to Chugga's quip that the game was made by "one-third of The Police" (i.e. Sting) in the first episode of Story Mode.
* BattleCry: Jon uses "Who wants to live forever!" before taking on an enemy at the end of episode 5 of the Battle Royale. As of the story mode, he and Chugga agree it has since become his catchphrase proper.
** While Chugga uses "[[MemeticMutation CHALLENGE ACCEPTED]]!"
* BuffySpeak: When Jon (playing as a warrior) kills a random enemy with his [[BladeOnAStick character's weapon]], he rejoices by claiming he killed the enemy "with his stabby thing!"
* ButtMonkey: Poor Chugga during the story mode. [[spoiler:He gets killed by both Jon and Tim, and instead of getting his things stolen he gets his name changed to Steve and a "Poo" hairstyle.]]
** Even LATER than that... [[spoiler: He gets a random event where ALL of his money was taken away from a doctor, and he is in the NEGATIVES in terms of money! Chuggaa is in debt!]]
* CallBack:
** After Jon points out Chugga's crummy impression of the announcer's voice, Chugga himself says that [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand every]] [[VideoGame/WiiParty announcer voice]] he does ends up sounding more like [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]].
** In the first episode of Story Mode, Jon briefly considers using the player name "Protonathan Jonathan", a reference to an old joke on his now defunct website.
* CaptainObvious: Jon in episode 1 of the Battle Royale.
--> '''Chugga (talking about player classes):''' The magician, I assume he's high damage...
--> '''Jon:''' He's ''magic''.
* ChekhovsGun: In Episode 42 of Story Mode, Chugga whips out a Charm Potion that he had been holding for so long everyone had forgotten that he had it, and uses it to steal a high level town from Tim to take the lead from Jon, putting Jon out of the lead for the first time in the entire game.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: The second story mode episode ends with Chugga and Jon starting a battle, which continues in the third episode. NCS even comments on this.
--> '''Tim:''' This is going to be a cliffhanger episode!
** Episode 13 ends on Chugga [[spoiler:finally becoming [[PurposelyOverpowered the Darkling]].]]
* TheDogBitesBack: After Chugga's ButtMonkey status is established, he ends up with the potential to become [[FromNobodyToNightmare the Darkling]], a possibility that [[OhCrap alarms Jon]]. [[spoiler:He does not succeed in his first attempt, but finally gets it in Episode 13.]]
* EarthAllAlong: Parodied at the end of the Battle Royale episode 3 when the world map comes up and Chugga notices it looks like a real map of Earth:
--> '''Chugga:''' It was our world all along! [[LargeHam FRIENDSHIP IS GOING TO DIE!]]
--> '''Jon:''' ...[[DullSurprise Okay]]. ''(video ends)''
* FighterMageThief: Albeit an unintentional example early on in story mode with the guys' chosen classes; Tim as the fighter, Chugga as the mage, and Jon as the thief. They eventually switch to other classes, however.
* FourIsDeath: Episode four of story mode, [[spoiler:which features all three dying just minutes apart from each other]].
* FunnyAfro: Jon gets one, and even after he changes classes to [[DanceBattler Acrobat]], he keeps it.
* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: Chugga says this, once Tim and Jon start calling him [[spoiler:Steve the Poo, or just Poohead]].
--> '''Chugga''': I liked it better when you called me [[spoiler:Steve]]. I never thought I would say that.
* IHatePastMe: When the Guys lose the audio recording for one session and end up recording post-commentary a full year later (after they are much further into the game and know more about it), they all criticise their past selves' playing, especially Tim.
* ItIsPronouncedTropay: In the first episode of Story Mode, Jon insists on pronouncing 'knife' with the k, making it 'keniffy'.
* MathematiciansAnswer: At the end of episode 5 of the Battle Royale, NCS gives up in a hopeless battle and drops a Squall item...
--> '''Chugga:''' How do you drop a tornado?
--> '''Jon:''' Very carefully.
* KillerRabbit: At the beginning of one week there is a Wabbit Explosion. Wabbits are creatures that are the same level as the character which usually just cast Sleep or run away, making them basically [[MetalSlime harmless, but hard to defeat]]. Which, of course, means that Chugga gets killed by them. ''Twice.'' In ''one week.''
* LongRunner: As far as their Let's Plays are concerned, Dokapon Kingdom's Story Mode is far longer than any other single series they've ever Let's Played[[note]]Multi-board board games notwithstanding.[[/note]].
** To grasp the length, in the post-commentated episode 54, they are at week 50 ingame. Chugga mentions in that present that they are at ''week 109.''
* NarmCharm: {{In-universe}}, the Guys' reactions to some of the victory sound clips.
* OhNoNotAgain: After Chuggaa shows off what a Darkling can do. Tim gets the Darkling contract twice, with the second time having this from both Jon and Chuggaa.
* OfCorpseHesAlive: When Chugga questions the actual in-universe reason why [[spoiler:Jon was able to rename him while [[DeathIsCheap he was temporarily dead for three turns]], he imagines Jon animating his corpse with strings and marching him down to the government office to sign a form.]]
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: When Jon combines the Cleric class with the "horror" hairstyle, (Which consists of a shark on your head) he calls himself the "Shark Pope". Later on, when he switches his hairstyle to an afro, he calls himself the "funk pope", instead.
* OhCrap: Chugga's reaction to when Jon [[spoiler: renames him Steve]] in the third video of story mode.
** Which goes even further when Chugga remembers [[spoiler: his character is dressed in red]].
*** Which goes even further than that when [[spoiler: Tim kills him in episode four, and changes his hairstyle to poo, which Chugga says makes him look like a red Pikmin]].
** Jon has this reaction when Chugga, well on his way to wrecking everyone's face as the Darkling, triggers a random event, and is met by a puff of purple smoke...
--> '''Jon:''' Oh no, not [[spoiler:''Weber'']], right now?!
* ARareSentence: Used and immediately lampshaded in the video description of episode 26:
--> "[[ItMakesSenseInContext The Pope retires to join the Harlem Globetrotters!]] ...That's something I never thought I'd say."
* RealIsBrown: Joked about in Episode 13, when Chugga and Jon discuss how Wabbits bring happiness to those around them, yet they're on a killing spree on said creature. Chugga comes to the conclusion that killing them will kill off the happiness with it, and before they know it, the game will have HD graphics and everything will be brown.
* RunningGag: Chugga's nitroglycerin not blowing up yet.
* SlowClap: Done after Chugga accidentally says something racist (again).
* SoBadItsGood[=/=]SoOkayItsAverage: [[invoked]]Chugga's opinion on the voice acting (actually, his second opinion -- he at first thinks it's the latter, then changes his mind to the former).
* TemptingFate: In episode 2 of the Battle Royale, Chugga lands on a red chest space which starts a roulette that will either give him a very useful item or something that will hinder him; he states that the roulette will land on the space that robs him of money, [[spoiler:but averted when the roulette gives him a new magic spell]].
** [[spoiler:Played straight]] in the Battle Royale episode 5, when Jon takes on an enemy slightly higher leveled than he is; he uses a strike with everyone certain that he'll handle his foe before Jon makes an offhand comment about his move missing. [[spoiler:It does]].
** And then in the final Battle Royale episode, [[spoiler: Chugga gets Mitch Digger, who will increase the value of all the towns he owns on a roll of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The others note that if he gets this, he wins the game. Of course, Chugga just had to say "watch me actually lose"... then he rolls a 1, indeed costing him the game.]]
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: [[spoiler:Chugga becomes a Darkling in Episode 13. It's unlucky for NCS and Jon.]]
* TVTropesWillRuinYourLife: Jon warns the audience that they'll be stuck on ThisVeryWiki for hours. Chugga mentions that one night he had to get up early in the morning to edit a video because he spent too much time on here the night before when he should've been editing.
* UpToEleven: "If you guys thought ''MarioParty'' was the game that ruined friendships..."
** They also mention that the AI in the game [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheats worse than]] [[MarioParty Peach.]]
* TheWorfEffect: Jon warps the Death Cloud to nearby in an attempt to defeat it. It promptly kills him in one hit.
--> '''Chugga:''' He killed Jon!
* XMeetsY: The game is described as ''MarioParty'' meets an RPG.
** [[UpToEleven Meets rock-paper-scissors meets]] [[WidgetSeries weird]].
* YankTheDogsChain:
** Almost as soon as Tim gets a Wabbit Shield (a rare shield that grants him +20 to all stats and 200 HP), Chugga becomes a Darkling and destroys it when he kills him.
** Midway through the game, [[ButtMonkey Tim]] becomes the Darkling a ''third'' time, and winds up rolling high enough to target Jon. Jon, who had snagged the "????" skill[[note]]At the beginning of a turn, becomes a randomly selected skill[[/note]] a little earlier, plans to use it against Tim [[LuckBasedMission if he rolls the right skill.]] However, when Jon gets to go first... he can't use his skill. When everyone's confused, Jon goes and checks and realizes he got '''Delete''', a ''Darkling'' skill that lets him destroy a random piece of equipment on the opponent, which would've been ''fantastic''... if he wasn't fighting the Darkling, whose equipment can't be destroyed. Jon then proceeds to attempt to Strike Tim, but the Darkling Counters for a OneHitKill, and then Tim tosses Jon's weapon.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The opening video of story mode features Chugga's annoyance at how the term alchemy is used to mean almost anything in modern media, rather than its initial meaning of turning lead into gold.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rayman Origins]]
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: At the beginning of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDVyIxCiKRs Episode 4]], Chugga gives us this gem: "Designing dingys to go to the dijiridoo desert for delicious desert." Immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Jon.
** Jon does the exact same thing 2 episodes later.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Happens to Jon early on before getting the hover ability.
* DopeSlap: Jon does this a lot to Chugga [[LamePunReaction for many tooth-related puns.]] [[spoiler: In Episode 26, Land of the Livid Dead was unlocked, so this ended up making the Guys enter that level entirely by accident.]]
---> '''Chugga''': (upon being slapped into the level): [[OhCrap WE WENT INTO THE DOOR!]]
---> '''Proton Jon''': I don't care. We're doing it now! [[LargeHam Your penance for your crimes!]]
* DoubleEntendre: Chugga says "Oh my god we're like inside of each other, that's going to be terrible," in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz8NnpiZzng&t=1m22s Episode 19]]. He immediately revises it to, "Our silhouettes are overlapping."
* EndingFatigue: InUniverse, the Guys react this way to the game's 17-minute-long end credits roll, especially since [[spoiler:they end up going through it ''twice'']].
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Lampshaded in episode 9.
Chugga: "Epic foreshadowing!"
Jon: "You mean like, right now?"
* HurricaneOfPuns: After every time they get a tooth from the bonus level, Emile makes at least one tooth-related pun. [[http://youtu.be/Mz8NnpiZzng?t=4m30s Jon claims he supposedly has a list of tooth-related puns to go off of.]]
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/cyWVvMrq_S4?t=21m Episode 11]]) Y'know, I wonder what made this guy lose all his teeth. I bet it was inci''dental''.
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/Mz8NnpiZzng?t=4m32s Episode 19]]) I hope you like this, we fought ''tooth'' and nail for it.
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/qhpgtc9xq10?t=5m25s Episode 20]]) Alright, we're about to throw a tooth and make a bad pun, so ''brace'' yourself.
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/QaSSgu_4G_U?t=18m18s Episode 26]]) WE GOT ALL THE TEETH! Does that mean we win a ''plaque''?
** The last one is continued by
---> '''Chugga''': Oh come on, if we don't win a plaque, I at least deserve a ''crown''!
---> '''Jon''': ''*[[LamePunReaction slaps Chugga in-game]]*''
---> '''Chugga''': Jon, don't hit me! I have ''fillings'', too!
* IncrediblyLamePun: Chuggaaconroy, as usual. Incredibly, [[UpToEleven they've gotten worse.]] They occur more frequently and are much lamer than normal, to the point where Jon [[SuddenlyShouting starts yelling at Emile randomly for making puns]].
* IsItSomethingYouEat: In the finale Tim comments that half the names of the people in the credits remind him of foods.
* KilledOffForReal: Parodied in the case of [[spoiler: Teensette, pretty similar to Ike from Smash Bros. Brawl (actually, the default cutscene automatically goes to the default Teensy.)]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Tim drops a couple when making a reference in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcOfsGbsIkY&t=2m31s Episode 9]]. Chugga follows suit.
* SceneryPorn: The guys comment on the beauty of the backgrounds multiple times.
* {{Ruritania}}: Chugga complains about Ubisoft putting the names of the localisation team for every country into the credits, including "Yakastanesia".
* ThatRussianSquatDance: Invoked by Chugga about Globox's dancing when they get a medal in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuoYsojbk3I&t=7m3s Episode 3]].
* WholesomeCrossdresser: PlayedForLaughs with Tim when his character wore the "Teensette" costume.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=LittleBigPlanet 2=]]]
* TheBusCameBack: {{Letsplay/Lucahjin}} returns for this one.
* CouchGag: The episodes always open in The Pod (barring Episode 1), but the decor changes every time.
* DevelopersForesight: In episode 8, Chugga shows off what happens after he stuck a brass fist on a guy's hand doing a heavy metal gesture. The game then censors the giant hand that is meant to match his gesture.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jon's reaction when he sticks a giant sun on [=NCS=]'s character at the start of episode 19, only for Tim to comment that he's "[=NintendoCapri=]''Sun''", much to Chugga's delight.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Like in the first game, their avatars count as this.
* TheReveal: At the end of Episode 20 (as a joke) Jon reveals who Hero Unknown is...
-->'''Jon:'''[[spoiler:It was me, Sackboy, all along!]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Episode 19 has Jon playing as Hero Unknown, which is really [[Franchise/SonictheHedgehog Tails]] wearing a trenchcoat and a cardboard box. He doesn't even have his trademark tails covered. Hilariously, since {{Letsplay/Lucahjin}} is [[HaveWeMet playing as Eggman, she says that she should know Hero Unknown]].
* PungeonMaster: Chugga as usual, but Lucah and Tim join in as well (much to Chugga's glee), sometimes leading Jon to see himself as the OnlySaneMan.
* OhCrap: The finale has all four players do this when they realize that the game froze right after the final boss.
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Episode 13 was never uploaded due to the recording of it getting corrupted.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sonic Adventure]]
* AbusiveParents: Parodied with Jon and his harsh treatment of Chao. He insists that it's only ToughLove, but Chugga thinks otherwise.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Jon's interpretation of Big the Cat is more vulgar and violent, and won't hesitate to lash anybody who doesn't know where Froggy is.
* CallBack:
** Jon references Chugga's "this is not Sonic next gen" line from some of his [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor previous]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker LPs]].
** When commenting on how Sonic is somehow able to stay on Tails' plane while it's flying sideways, Chugga asks this of Jon.
-->'''Chugga:''' Have you ever played a game with sticky shoes as opposed to [[VideoGame/NewSuperLuigiU slippery shoes?]]
* CompanionCube: "Old Man," the mannequin that the three (especially Jon) frequently take around with them whenever they're in the Station Square field.
* DungeonBypass: Chugga skips the entirety of Windy Valley with Tails via flying over the edge until he lands on the island with the Chaos Emerald. Jon's quip at the end of the stage sums it up.
-->'''Jon:''' Hi Sonic! You ''ARE'' the fastest thing alive! [[GameBreaker I'm the cheapest thing alive!]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: {{In-universe}}, the Old Man Mannequin which Sonic can pick up and carry around. At first Jon, and later the other two as well, become obsessed with trying to bring it into parts of the game it was never meant to be in and make it appear in cutscenes.
* EpicFail: Easily the best of their entire series, [[spoiler:Emile dying to the FIRST boss! And on the very first hit, too!]] He also [[spoiler:runs right into and gets damaged by one of the first enemies of the game]].
** In Tail's Sky Carrier stage, Emile somehow [[spoiler: attempts to fly past a set of monkeybars... in the exact wrong direction, going backwards through the state, and into death.]]
* {{Filler}}: Expect episodes with Jon playing in them to have this.
** Episode three, which consists almost entirely of Jon playing with a mannequin.
** Episode seven has him forgoing the next segment of the game in favor of messing with the Chao Garden.
** Episode 11 involved Jon exploring the ship and messing with another Chao Garden. The only thing he accomplished was defeating E-102 Gamma.
** Averted in Episode 12; he was planning to derail the episode by visiting a minigame that Chugga mentioned, but realized that he couldn't access it due to a ledge that was too high for him to jump to, so he just went to the next stage.
** Subverted in Episode 17. Chugga was planning to derail the episode by visiting the aforementioned minigame now that he could access it with Tails, but then quickly found out that it was plot-relevant, so he was forced to do it anyways to progress. He doesn't go back after doing it once, though.
** Episode 27 primarily consists of Jon attempting to beat the hammer minigame; while he does need to beat it once to continue and get a powerup, Chugga makes him mistakenly believe that he immediately needed to beat it again to get the next powerup too[[note]]While you do need to complete the minigame twice to collect Amy's second powerup, you have to wait until after completing Amy's second stage and returning to the Egg Carrier field to collect it, something Chugga doesn't discover until after Jon finally completes it a second time.[[/note]]. The last several minutes of the video consist of Jon trying to make Amy walk up the slope of a missile in the Chao Garden.
** Episode 32 sees Jon roaming around Station Square as Big, doing almost all his commentary in the character's voice and (exaggerated) mannerisms.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In one of Jon's Twitch streams, he recalls a moment after the LP and during post-production editing where ''Chugga himself'' tells Jon that Jon overdid his parody Big voice.
* FanNickname: In-universe, E-102 Gamma is almost always referred to as "Humpbot" by the Guys because his idle animation makes it look like he's humping the floor or other characters.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In Episode 17 the trio are so focused on the blocked entrance to the sewer that they fail to notice a man literally walking in midair in the background, even though Jon walks right by him at one point.
* GoodBadBugs[[invoked]]: The game winds up having so many glitches that the three end up having more fun discovering what hilariously bizarre bugs they can find than anything else in the game.
* {{Irony}}: Chugga notes that of the three of them, Jon was the least enthusiastic about Let's Playing Sonic Adventure, but whenever Jon gets his mitts on the controller, he likes to make his turn drag out the longest.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: When listing the characters one can play as in the game, Jon pronounces Knuckles, Amy, and Big's names as "kenuckles", "amme", and "baiga."
** Tim can be heard in the background pronouncing Big's name as "baij" at the same time.
* LoopholeAbuse: Their rotation system dictates that the turn player will pass off the controller to the next person once they finish the next stage. Jon takes advantage of this by screwing around as long as possible to drag out his turn on the controller. Most of what he does accomplishes absolutely nothing.
* {{Mondegreen}}: Chugga confesses that when he was younger he thought the ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon'' series was called "Pants Of Dragoon."
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Jon's approach to this project is largely in line with his streaming habits rather than standard ''TRG'' fare, where he's nicer and is more prone to screwing around because it amuses him. Jon states that he did it this way because he wasn't really feeling ''Sonic Adventure'', but realized that he could squeeze more fun out of it if he treated it like he was streaming.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** Jon just can't believe Chugga messed up as early as he did:
--->'''Jon:''' You were the most gung-ho about this, too! You fucking [[spoiler:died on [[WarmUpBoss Chaos Zero]]]]!
** Chugga does this when performing a DungeonBypass.
--->'''Chugga:''' I am Tails, so fuck you level design!
** Jon flips when [[spoiler:he clips through a floor and falls into the water, thus netting him the first (and only) game over ''in the entire series''.]]
--->'''Jon:''' (''StunnedSilence'') What the ''fuck!?'' Game, come on, that's fucking bullshit, and you know it!
* RubberbandAI: Chugga calls Sonic out on this in Windy Valley when he continuously catches up to Tails even though Chugga is SequenceBreaking the vast majority of the stage.
* RunningGag: Jon messing around with the statue in front of the burger shop, doing so with every character at least once.
** All the Guys trying to create a 'Knuckles party' by attracting a crowd of the IceCreamKoan-spouting echidnas at the pyramid.
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Discussed by the guys, who note that while the amount of content present in the game was unheard of at the time of its release, video games nowadays have just as much if not even more variety. [[invoked]]
* SimpletonVoice: Big's is present, as should be expected, but Jon also tries his hand at impersonating it.
* SoBadItsGood: Pointed out in-universe; Jon notes that ''Sonic Adventure'' is not a very good game, but he mentions this while Chugga is having way too much fun glitching out a scripted run sequence.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Noted by Jon, stating that they've been doing multiplayer games, a good chunk of them being Nintendo-based. The guys decided to experiment and go the complete opposite; a single-player Sega game.
** Also due to how Chugga has cut the episodes, Jon taking control has so far had an episode of him screwing around instead of actually advancing through the game.
* SwappedRoles: Chugga winds up receiving Tim's role of often dying, Tim takes Jon's role of trying to seriously beat the game, and Jon has Chugga's role of screwing around.
** However, given Jon's history and reputation with buggy games, said screwing around is to be expected especially since he's basically playing as if it was another stream for him.
* TakeThatAudience: The guys discuss that, after Big's reviled appearance in ''Adventure'', Takashi Iizuka, director of the game and its sequel, gave him a cameo in every level of ''Adventure 2'' just to spite his detractors.
* TemptingFate: After his first death in Final Egg, Chugga notes throughout the level that he hasn't died and might make back the lives Jon lost in Lost World and then some. He also often [[LampshadeHanging calls himself out on this]], noting his poor track record with this trope. [[spoiler:Miraculously, he manages to avert it and makes it to the end without dying again, with an excess of lives as he mentioned before.]]
* {{Undercrank}}: During a segment when Jon was forcing Amy to walk up a slope she wasn't meant to walk up, the footage is sped up significantly, with the side effect of giving everyone chipmunk-esque voices and making them nigh-impossible to understand.

[[folder:[=LittleBigPlanet=]]]
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: All of them, but especially Jon randomly sticking accessories on everything and trying to break the game.
* AuthorCatchphrase: In episode 10, with them all using AntiquatedLinguistics, Chugga likes using the words 'orthodox' and 'barbaric' a lot. Jon calls him out at one point for using 'orthodox' in a context where it doesn't really make sense.
* BadImpressionists: Chugga's attempt at Creator/StephenFry (the narrator) sounds more like a cross between [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Bane]] and ScoobyDoo. [[{{Troll}} Of course,]] after Jon complains, he proceeds to read out every text box in the voice, even if it's not something Creator/StephenFry narrates in the game.
** In episode 9, Jon thinks attempts at Japanese accents by Chugga and Lucah respectively sound more like ScoobyDoo and Kyle's mum from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
* BookEnds: The first episode ends with Jon enlarging a King of Hearts card, yelling "AND THE KING OF ALL CAAAAAAAAARDS!" while doing so. The finale begins with the guys discussing the King of All Cards as though he is a wanted criminal, and Jon enlarges the card again.
** Also, the guys (without Lucahjin) were playing ''Wii Party'' before they switched to this game, then went back to ''Wii Party'' when they finished. So the weeks directly before and after this collab started had ''Wii Party'' videos.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Lucah borrows Tim's "IN THE BATHROOM!" in the finale.
* CallBack:
** Lucahjin makes several references to [[HelloInsertNameHere MAH BALLS]] from her Barbie LP, including her character's costume.
** Jon's Mexican Waluigi voice appears again in Episode 6, this time with Waluigi as a detective.
** In the finale, NCS compares a stage to one in ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' and he and Jon mention the race of that game they both took part in.
* CameraScrew: Partway into Episode 8, Tim gets left behind at a Spawn Point while the other Guys and Lucahjin are jumping over things, almost leading to their deaths.
--> '''Jon''': Okay, Camera. C'mon, Really?
* CrossPlayer: Tim as "Victorian Lady Gaga". Leads to ViewerGenderConfusion in episode 4 with Chugga accidentally referring to Tim as 'she'.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: An odd case. While the Guys were good about keeping Lucahjin's identity under wraps until the first video debuted, there were some strange references to her in the videos shortly preceding this one, what with the drug-dealer look-alike of Lucahjin outside their window when they were filming [[VideoGame/MarioParty Minigame Island]] and the computer picking "Luca" as their fourth player in ''[[VideoGame/WiiParty Board Game Island]]''. It seems the ''universe'' was foreshadowing her involvement in this LP.
%%* TheTeam:
%%** TheHero: Emile (The Mustachioed Shark)
%%** TheLancer: Jon (Mexican Penguin)
%%** TheBigGuy: Tim (Victorian Music/LadyGaga)
%%** TheChick: Reese (MAH BALLS!!!)
* AGodAmI: Jon becomes slightly megalomaniac at the end of the final level...
* GoshDangItToHeck: In episode 9, NCS falls into some poisonous gas and lets out a small "fuck!". He quickly corrects himself, leading to Jon and Chugga to make their own family-friendly swears.
--> '''NCS''': Fuck!...I mean sh-sh...I mean shoot.
--> '''Jon''': Darn! Jiminy jillickers!
--> '''Chugga''': Gosh dang it.
--> '''Jon''': Consarn it.
* HurricaneOfPuns: About Chugga's Moustachioed Shark avatar in episode 2, including VideoGame/SewerShark, JumpingTheShark, and Film/{{Sharktopus}}.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In episode 6, Jon invokes it to try and explain the strangely unrelated pictures used to illustrate the Rolling Run level. "It's medium difficulty because her hair is black... [[BlackEyesOfEvil just like her eyes]]".
** He also claims repeatedly that penguins are experienced with fire.
* JapaneseRanguage: In episode 9.
* LeeroyJenkins: Chugga's playing style, leading Jon to dub him 'Impatient Shark'. The result is that he has more deaths than usual as he runs into traps, but also wins most levels because he gets most of the score bubbles before the others can.
** Lucah also quotes the TropeNamer at one point.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Their player avatars, to some extent.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Jon's reaction in episode 4 when Lucah puts on a CanadaEh accent.
** And again in episode 6 when she references "[[NeverLiveItDown MOVE FASTER, POKEY!]]"
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Everyone's avatars except for Lucahjin.
* NoIndoorVoice: All of the guys are usually vocal, but they take it UpToEleven in this LP.
* OverlyLongGag: In episode 10, they carry out the aforementioned TakeThat for an entire half hour.
** In the final episode, TheStinger: [[spoiler:"YEAH COFFEE! YEAH COFFEE! YEAH COFFEE!" Which has ''its own stinger'' where Jon reverses it: "Less coffee... less coffee... less coffee..."]]
* PerspectiveFlip: In the finale, Chugga suggests that BigBad FinalBoss The Collector is like an accomplished {{Pokemon}} player who really had [[GottaCatchThemAll caught them all]], and the Guys effectively erased his save file, making them the ''real'' villains.
* RunningGag: At the start of nearly every episode, Jon had added some ridiculous accessory to his costume (like tentacles or springy hands). Often he's put them on Lucahjin too.
** An unintentional one is that almost every episode starts with a disclaimer about how something or other has gone wrong with technical aspects of the recording. Eventually they start to lampshade this.
** Another unintentional one is that every time they're about to explain something general about the game, [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny they get distracted and never end up doing it]].
** Jon's habit of sticking hipster glasses on things getting [[RefugeInAudacity bigger and more audacious]] with every episode.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of Episode 9, Tim gets up and leaves before the group can do the outro. Jon and Chugga jokingly act like it was this.
* SimpletonVoice: Jon does a distinctive 'stoned {{Cloudcuckoolander}}' one a few times in the finale.
* TheStinger: At the end of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV3M14MbDOg finale video]], after some blank space in the video, [[spoiler:Jon going crazy with the "COFFEE" sticker]].
* TemptingFate: While riding a giant skateboard...
--> '''Tim''': As long as it doesn't flip over.
--> ''(guess what it proceeds to do mere seconds later)''
** Jon continues to weaponize TemptingFate to screw over Chugga as he did in the ''Mario Party 2'' LP.
--> '''Jon''': [[LampshadeHanging It works ''every'' time with Emile, that's all you need to do.]]
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: In episode 4, Jon puts a bow on Lucah's head instead of on her neck, so she's not "wearing it like a boy." This is the only visual clue that Lucah's a girl, since it's Tim who's playing [[CrossPlayer Victorian Lady Gaga]].
* UngratefulBastard: A ''very'' minor example; at the start of episode 5, Chugga announces that he got Tim, Jon, and Lucah gifts since he hasn't seen them in a while. Tim and Lucah are surprised and curious, but in the background, you can hear Jon sigh in annoyance. Possibly [[JustifiedTrope justified]], given how the last two times Chugga did this, he got [[CallBack Poison Mushrooms]].
** Then subverted, double-subverted, and PlayedForLaughs in the span of a few seconds; when Jon actually gets his gift (a "Batman For President" shirt), he seems genuinely surprised and thankful... then he covers Chugga's in-game player avatar in zebra stripes.
--> '''Chugga''': [[LampshadeHanging Is that any way to thank me?!]]
--> '''Jon''': I made you a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot rainbow shark zebra.]]
*** In Jon's defense, Chugga did eventually take a liking to the rainbow shark.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: [[{{In-universe}} Chugga]] once accidentally calls Tim 'she' due to him using a female avatar (as does Jon later), and also insists some skeletal Aztec-ish characters 'look like women', which Jon finds bizarre.
* WorldOfChaos: The game already has shades of this to start with, but it goes UpToEleven when Jon is let loose.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Castle Crashers]]
* AccidentalMisnaming: Chugga calls Jake "Stephen" in episode 6, then referenced [[MemeticMutation Steve the trooper.]] The other guys are surprised that he referenced it, as it's his main BerserkButton.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Chugga in episode 3 to the bear enemies.
--> '''Chugga:''' How does a bear make a tornado?
--> '''Jake:''' How do ''we'' make magic?
--> '''Chugga:''' 'Cause we're [[MagicKnight magical knights.]]
--> '''Jon:''' [[SeinfeldianConversation Well, they're magical bears]].
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In the second part of the finale, the guys somehow get on the topic of discussing what the Necromancer's old roommates say about him:
--> '''Jon''': "Has issue with bringing people back from [the] dead...the smell of rot is everywhere...always left the fridge door open..."
* BigNo: Done by everyone in episode 9 as they fail to escape the alien ship in time.
* BrickJoke: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voytf8GjVi4&t=337s a BreakingNCS Vlog]], Jon bought a toy gun. [[spoiler:He opens fire on Chugga in the last episode.]]
* CallBack: [=SuperJeenius=] wants both the lollipop and chainsaw items, referencing his LP of ''LollipopChainsaw''.
** Jake/ [=SuperJeenius=] is referred to as [[YouAreNumberSix 4]] [[JoshJepson v2.0]] during the intro. Later when he teams up with Jon against Chugga, Chugga says "I didn't want another Josh!"
** In episode 4, Jake also references "credit where props is due", a joke from his co-op of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' with Josh.
** Chugga comes to the realisation that he can, in fact, kick ''Jon'' out of ''his'' house, in reference to the famous incident from the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Subspace Emissary]] videos.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Jon claims Chugga has it after he agrees to form an anti-Jon alliance with Jake and then kills Jake (although Chugga says it was accidental).
** Just before that Jake formed an alliance with Jon to take out Chugga, then after realizing Jon was the bigger threat decided to join forces with Chugga against Jon, leading to an accidental RewardedAsATraitorDeserves.
* CurbStompBattle: Jon to the other Guys in episode 5.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Jake is aiming for this by increasing his strength while completely ignoring his other stats.
** He abandons this after it backfires on him in episode 5.
** Tim meanwhile focuses mostly on stamina and defense. While this means he's nigh-on impossible to kill, he does so little damage he may as well not even be fighting, and all his crazy survivability ultimately accomplishes is annoying the others in the Arena fights.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Jon states this in the finale, as he opts for committing "ritual suicide" by having his character getting killed by an NPC and not getting the ending.
* FanNickname: [[invoked]]They refer to the Cardinal animal companion as '[[VideoGame/AngryBirds the Angry Bird]]'.
* GenderBlenderName: A character limit on names means that Tim plays as "[=NintendoCapriSu=]".
* GorgeousGorgon: Chugga's opinion of the game's Medusa. He gets mocked for it.
* HypocriticalHumour: In episode 6, Chugga unexpectedly brings up [[NeverLiveItDown Steve the Trooper]], but then adds that he refuses to let anybody else make reference to him.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In episode 9 Chugga claims the nurse who gives you information on animal orbs is hot for Jon 'because she's wearing glasses'.
* InsistentTerminology: Chugga maintains that Jon is 'ten levels higher' than everyone else, despite Jon pointing out that this is "[[ItIsPronouncedTropay hyper-bowl]]".
** In episode 9, Chugga insists that the animals they ride are "[[{{Portmanteau}} Camellamas]]".
* ItIsPronouncedTropay: In episode 5, Jon mispronounces hyperbole as "hyper-bowl" (as Chugga points out).
* JokeExhaustion: Done in episode 4 with 'bee' references as soon as they enter the Flower Fields level and start fighting bees.
** Then done again in episode 10 with a corn-related HurricaneOfPuns when they fight a corn-themed boss.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently five years ago, Jon started a forest fire...in his house. With hotdogs.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Tim in episode 9 does an accent that oscillates between TheAhnold, Scottish, and VampireVords.
* StoneWall: Due to the way NCS put the majority of his stats into defense, he becomes one of these, with over 700 Hp!!!
* TheSocialDarwinist: Jake accuses Chugga of being one in episode 9 after he says the aliens deserve to die because they're weak.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Chugga saying "necrophilia is appropriate" in episode 6.
* ThatOnePlayer: The others accuse Jon of being this in episode 3.
* TookALevelInBadass: Chugga took one after he learned how to properly use his magic. Even Jon considered him a threat in the arena afterwards.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Trolls?]]
-->'''Jon:''' Because it wasn't snakes.
* WhyWontYouDie: Jon has a moment when fighting NCS in episode 11. Due to NCS's high defense (and accidental potion usage), he spent a while before he fell.
-->'''Jon:''' Tim, you are '''''ridiculous''''' to kill!
* WrongNameOutburst: Jake accidentally refers to Jon as [[LetsPlay/JoshJepson Josh]] in episode 8.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Dokapon Kingdom]]
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Jon's reaction to Chugga's quip that the game was made by "one-third of The Police" (i.e. Sting) in the first episode of Story Mode.
* BattleCry: Jon uses "Who wants to live forever!" before taking on an enemy at the end of episode 5 of the Battle Royale. As of the story mode, he and Chugga agree it has since become his catchphrase proper.
** While Chugga uses "[[MemeticMutation CHALLENGE ACCEPTED]]!"
* BuffySpeak: When Jon (playing as a warrior) kills a random enemy with his [[BladeOnAStick character's weapon]], he rejoices by claiming he killed the enemy "with his stabby thing!"
* ButtMonkey: Poor Chugga during the story mode. [[spoiler:He gets killed by both Jon and Tim, and instead of getting his things stolen he gets his name changed to Steve and a "Poo" hairstyle.]]
** Even LATER than that... [[spoiler: He gets a random event where ALL of his money was taken away from a doctor, and he is in the NEGATIVES in terms of money! Chuggaa is in debt!]]
* CallBack:
** After Jon points out Chugga's crummy impression of the announcer's voice, Chugga himself says that [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand every]] [[VideoGame/WiiParty announcer voice]] he does ends up sounding more like [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]].
** In the first episode of Story Mode, Jon briefly considers using the player name "Protonathan Jonathan", a reference to an old joke on his now defunct website.
* CaptainObvious: Jon in episode 1 of the Battle Royale.
--> '''Chugga (talking about player classes):''' The magician, I assume he's high damage...
--> '''Jon:''' He's ''magic''.
* ChekhovsGun: In Episode 42 of Story Mode, Chugga whips out a Charm Potion that he had been holding for so long everyone had forgotten that he had it, and uses it to steal a high level town from Tim to take the lead from Jon, putting Jon out of the lead for the first time in the entire game.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: The second story mode episode ends with Chugga and Jon starting a battle, which continues in the third episode. NCS even comments on this.
--> '''Tim:''' This is going to be a cliffhanger episode!
** Episode 13 ends on Chugga [[spoiler:finally becoming [[PurposelyOverpowered the Darkling]].]]
* TheDogBitesBack: After Chugga's ButtMonkey status is established, he ends up with the potential to become [[FromNobodyToNightmare the Darkling]], a possibility that [[OhCrap alarms Jon]]. [[spoiler:He does not succeed in his first attempt, but finally gets it in Episode 13.]]
* EarthAllAlong: Parodied at the end of the Battle Royale episode 3 when the world map comes up and Chugga notices it looks like a real map of Earth:
--> '''Chugga:''' It was our world all along! [[LargeHam FRIENDSHIP IS GOING TO DIE!]]
--> '''Jon:''' ...[[DullSurprise Okay]]. ''(video ends)''
* FighterMageThief: Albeit an unintentional example early on in story mode with the guys' chosen classes; Tim as the fighter, Chugga as the mage, and Jon as the thief. They eventually switch to other classes, however.
* FourIsDeath: Episode four of story mode, [[spoiler:which features all three dying just minutes apart from each other]].
* FunnyAfro: Jon gets one, and even after he changes classes to [[DanceBattler Acrobat]], he keeps it.
* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: Chugga says this, once Tim and Jon start calling him [[spoiler:Steve the Poo, or just Poohead]].
--> '''Chugga''': I liked it better when you called me [[spoiler:Steve]]. I never thought I would say that.
* IHatePastMe: When the Guys lose the audio recording for one session and end up recording post-commentary a full year later (after they are much further into the game and know more about it), they all criticise their past selves' playing, especially Tim.
* ItIsPronouncedTropay: In the first episode of Story Mode, Jon insists on pronouncing 'knife' with the k, making it 'keniffy'.
* MathematiciansAnswer: At the end of episode 5 of the Battle Royale, NCS gives up in a hopeless battle and drops a Squall item...
--> '''Chugga:''' How do you drop a tornado?
--> '''Jon:''' Very carefully.
* KillerRabbit: At the beginning of one week there is a Wabbit Explosion. Wabbits are creatures that are the same level as the character which usually just cast Sleep or run away, making them basically [[MetalSlime harmless, but hard to defeat]]. Which, of course, means that Chugga gets killed by them. ''Twice.'' In ''one week.''
* LongRunner: As far as their Let's Plays are concerned, Dokapon Kingdom's Story Mode is far longer than any other single series they've ever Let's Played[[note]]Multi-board board games notwithstanding.[[/note]].
** To grasp the length, in the post-commentated episode 54, they are at week 50 ingame. Chugga mentions in that present that they are at ''week 109.''
* NarmCharm: {{In-universe}}, the Guys' reactions to some of the victory sound clips.
* OhNoNotAgain: After Chuggaa shows off what a Darkling can do. Tim gets the Darkling contract twice, with the second time having this from both Jon and Chuggaa.
* OfCorpseHesAlive: When Chugga questions the actual in-universe reason why [[spoiler:Jon was able to rename him while [[DeathIsCheap he was temporarily dead for three turns]], he imagines Jon animating his corpse with strings and marching him down to the government office to sign a form.]]
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: When Jon combines the Cleric class with the "horror" hairstyle, (Which consists of a shark on your head) he calls himself the "Shark Pope". Later on, when he switches his hairstyle to an afro, he calls himself the "funk pope", instead.
* OhCrap: Chugga's reaction to when Jon [[spoiler: renames him Steve]] in the third video of story mode.
** Which goes even further when Chugga remembers [[spoiler: his character is dressed in red]].
*** Which goes even further than that when [[spoiler: Tim kills him in episode four, and changes his hairstyle to poo, which Chugga says makes him look like a red Pikmin]].
** Jon has this reaction when Chugga, well on his way to wrecking everyone's face as the Darkling, triggers a random event, and is met by a puff of purple smoke...
--> '''Jon:''' Oh no, not [[spoiler:''Weber'']], right now?!
* ARareSentence: Used and immediately lampshaded in the video description of episode 26:
--> "[[ItMakesSenseInContext The Pope retires to join the Harlem Globetrotters!]] ...That's something I never thought I'd say."
* RealIsBrown: Joked about in Episode 13, when Chugga and Jon discuss how Wabbits bring happiness to those around them, yet they're on a killing spree on said creature. Chugga comes to the conclusion that killing them will kill off the happiness with it, and before they know it, the game will have HD graphics and everything will be brown.
* RunningGag: Chugga's nitroglycerin not blowing up yet.
* SlowClap: Done after Chugga accidentally says something racist (again).
* SoBadItsGood[=/=]SoOkayItsAverage: [[invoked]]Chugga's opinion on the voice acting (actually, his second opinion -- he at first thinks it's the latter, then changes his mind to the former).
* TemptingFate: In episode 2 of the Battle Royale, Chugga lands on a red chest space which starts a roulette that will either give him a very useful item or something that will hinder him; he states that the roulette will land on the space that robs him of money, [[spoiler:but averted when the roulette gives him a new magic spell]].
** [[spoiler:Played straight]] in the Battle Royale episode 5, when Jon takes on an enemy slightly higher leveled than he is; he uses a strike with everyone certain that he'll handle his foe before Jon makes an offhand comment about his move missing. [[spoiler:It does]].
** And then in the final Battle Royale episode, [[spoiler: Chugga gets Mitch Digger, who will increase the value of all the towns he owns on a roll of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The others note that if he gets this, he wins the game. Of course, Chugga just had to say "watch me actually lose"... then he rolls a 1, indeed costing him the game.]]
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: [[spoiler:Chugga becomes a Darkling in Episode 13. It's unlucky for NCS and Jon.]]
* TVTropesWillRuinYourLife: Jon warns the audience that they'll be stuck on ThisVeryWiki for hours. Chugga mentions that one night he had to get up early in the morning to edit a video because he spent too much time on here the night before when he should've been editing.
* UpToEleven: "If you guys thought ''MarioParty'' was the game that ruined friendships..."
** They also mention that the AI in the game [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheats worse than]] [[MarioParty Peach.]]
* TheWorfEffect: Jon warps the Death Cloud to nearby in an attempt to defeat it. It promptly kills him in one hit.
--> '''Chugga:''' He killed Jon!
* XMeetsY: The game is described as ''MarioParty'' meets an RPG.
** [[UpToEleven Meets rock-paper-scissors meets]] [[WidgetSeries weird]].
* YankTheDogsChain:
** Almost as soon as Tim gets a Wabbit Shield (a rare shield that grants him +20 to all stats and 200 HP), Chugga becomes a Darkling and destroys it when he kills him.
** Midway through the game, [[ButtMonkey Tim]] becomes the Darkling a ''third'' time, and winds up rolling high enough to target Jon. Jon, who had snagged the "????" skill[[note]]At the beginning of a turn, becomes a randomly selected skill[[/note]] a little earlier, plans to use it against Tim [[LuckBasedMission if he rolls the right skill.]] However, when Jon gets to go first... he can't use his skill. When everyone's confused, Jon goes and checks and realizes he got '''Delete''', a ''Darkling'' skill that lets him destroy a random piece of equipment on the opponent, which would've been ''fantastic''... if he wasn't fighting the Darkling, whose equipment can't be destroyed. Jon then proceeds to attempt to Strike Tim, but the Darkling Counters for a OneHitKill, and then Tim tosses Jon's weapon.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The opening video of story mode features Chugga's annoyance at how the term alchemy is used to mean almost anything in modern media, rather than its initial meaning of turning lead into gold.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rayman Origins]]
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: At the beginning of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDVyIxCiKRs Episode 4]], Chugga gives us this gem: "Designing dingys to go to the dijiridoo desert for delicious desert." Immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Jon.
** Jon does the exact same thing 2 episodes later.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Happens to Jon early on before getting the hover ability.
* DopeSlap: Jon does this a lot to Chugga [[LamePunReaction for many tooth-related puns.]] [[spoiler: In Episode 26, Land of the Livid Dead was unlocked, so this ended up making the Guys enter that level entirely by accident.]]
---> '''Chugga''': (upon being slapped into the level): [[OhCrap WE WENT INTO THE DOOR!]]
---> '''Proton Jon''': I don't care. We're doing it now! [[LargeHam Your penance for your crimes!]]
* DoubleEntendre: Chugga says "Oh my god we're like inside of each other, that's going to be terrible," in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz8NnpiZzng&t=1m22s Episode 19]]. He immediately revises it to, "Our silhouettes are overlapping."
* EndingFatigue: InUniverse, the Guys react this way to the game's 17-minute-long end credits roll, especially since [[spoiler:they end up going through it ''twice'']].
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Lampshaded in episode 9.
Chugga: "Epic foreshadowing!"
Jon: "You mean like, right now?"
* HurricaneOfPuns: After every time they get a tooth from the bonus level, Emile makes at least one tooth-related pun. [[http://youtu.be/Mz8NnpiZzng?t=4m30s Jon claims he supposedly has a list of tooth-related puns to go off of.]]
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/cyWVvMrq_S4?t=21m Episode 11]]) Y'know, I wonder what made this guy lose all his teeth. I bet it was inci''dental''.
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/Mz8NnpiZzng?t=4m32s Episode 19]]) I hope you like this, we fought ''tooth'' and nail for it.
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/qhpgtc9xq10?t=5m25s Episode 20]]) Alright, we're about to throw a tooth and make a bad pun, so ''brace'' yourself.
---> '''Chugga''': ([[http://youtu.be/QaSSgu_4G_U?t=18m18s Episode 26]]) WE GOT ALL THE TEETH! Does that mean we win a ''plaque''?
** The last one is continued by
---> '''Chugga''': Oh come on, if we don't win a plaque, I at least deserve a ''crown''!
---> '''Jon''': ''*[[LamePunReaction slaps Chugga in-game]]*''
---> '''Chugga''': Jon, don't hit me! I have ''fillings'', too!
* IncrediblyLamePun: Chuggaaconroy, as usual. Incredibly, [[UpToEleven they've gotten worse.]] They occur more frequently and are much lamer than normal, to the point where Jon [[SuddenlyShouting starts yelling at Emile randomly for making puns]].
* IsItSomethingYouEat: In the finale Tim comments that half the names of the people in the credits remind him of foods.
* KilledOffForReal: Parodied in the case of [[spoiler: Teensette, pretty similar to Ike from Smash Bros. Brawl (actually, the default cutscene automatically goes to the default Teensy.)]]
* PrecisionFStrike: Tim drops a couple when making a reference in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcOfsGbsIkY&t=2m31s Episode 9]]. Chugga follows suit.
* SceneryPorn: The guys comment on the beauty of the backgrounds multiple times.
* {{Ruritania}}: Chugga complains about Ubisoft putting the names of the localisation team for every country into the credits, including "Yakastanesia".
* ThatRussianSquatDance: Invoked by Chugga about Globox's dancing when they get a medal in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuoYsojbk3I&t=7m3s Episode 3]].
* WholesomeCrossdresser: PlayedForLaughs with Tim when his character wore the "Teensette" costume.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=LittleBigPlanet 2=]]]
* TheBusCameBack: {{Letsplay/Lucahjin}} returns for this one.
* CouchGag: The episodes always open in The Pod (barring Episode 1), but the decor changes every time.
* DevelopersForesight: In episode 8, Chugga shows off what happens after he stuck a brass fist on a guy's hand doing a heavy metal gesture. The game then censors the giant hand that is meant to match his gesture.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jon's reaction when he sticks a giant sun on [=NCS=]'s character at the start of episode 19, only for Tim to comment that he's "[=NintendoCapri=]''Sun''", much to Chugga's delight.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Like in the first game, their avatars count as this.
* TheReveal: At the end of Episode 20 (as a joke) Jon reveals who Hero Unknown is...
-->'''Jon:'''[[spoiler:It was me, Sackboy, all along!]]
* PaperThinDisguise: Episode 19 has Jon playing as Hero Unknown, which is really [[Franchise/SonictheHedgehog Tails]] wearing a trenchcoat and a cardboard box. He doesn't even have his trademark tails covered. Hilariously, since {{Letsplay/Lucahjin}} is [[HaveWeMet playing as Eggman, she says that she should know Hero Unknown]].
* PungeonMaster: Chugga as usual, but Lucah and Tim join in as well (much to Chugga's glee), sometimes leading Jon to see himself as the OnlySaneMan.
* OhCrap: The finale has all four players do this when they realize that the game froze right after the final boss.
* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Episode 13 was never uploaded due to the recording of it getting corrupted.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Sonic Adventure]]
* AbusiveParents: Parodied with Jon and his harsh treatment of Chao. He insists that it's only ToughLove, but Chugga thinks otherwise.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Jon's interpretation of Big the Cat is more vulgar and violent, and won't hesitate to lash anybody who doesn't know where Froggy is.
* CallBack:
** Jon references Chugga's "this is not Sonic next gen" line from some of his [[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor previous]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker LPs]].
** When commenting on how Sonic is somehow able to stay on Tails' plane while it's flying sideways, Chugga asks this of Jon.
-->'''Chugga:''' Have you ever played a game with sticky shoes as opposed to [[VideoGame/NewSuperLuigiU slippery shoes?]]
* CompanionCube: "Old Man," the mannequin that the three (especially Jon) frequently take around with them whenever they're in the Station Square field.
* DungeonBypass: Chugga skips the entirety of Windy Valley with Tails via flying over the edge until he lands on the island with the Chaos Emerald. Jon's quip at the end of the stage sums it up.
-->'''Jon:''' Hi Sonic! You ''ARE'' the fastest thing alive! [[GameBreaker I'm the cheapest thing alive!]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: {{In-universe}}, the Old Man Mannequin which Sonic can pick up and carry around. At first Jon, and later the other two as well, become obsessed with trying to bring it into parts of the game it was never meant to be in and make it appear in cutscenes.
* EpicFail: Easily the best of their entire series, [[spoiler:Emile dying to the FIRST boss! And on the very first hit, too!]] He also [[spoiler:runs right into and gets damaged by one of the first enemies of the game]].
** In Tail's Sky Carrier stage, Emile somehow [[spoiler: attempts to fly past a set of monkeybars... in the exact wrong direction, going backwards through the state, and into death.]]
* {{Filler}}: Expect episodes with Jon playing in them to have this.
** Episode three, which consists almost entirely of Jon playing with a mannequin.
** Episode seven has him forgoing the next segment of the game in favor of messing with the Chao Garden.
** Episode 11 involved Jon exploring the ship and messing with another Chao Garden. The only thing he accomplished was defeating E-102 Gamma.
** Averted in Episode 12; he was planning to derail the episode by visiting a minigame that Chugga mentioned, but realized that he couldn't access it due to a ledge that was too high for him to jump to, so he just went to the next stage.
** Subverted in Episode 17. Chugga was planning to derail the episode by visiting the aforementioned minigame now that he could access it with Tails, but then quickly found out that it was plot-relevant, so he was forced to do it anyways to progress. He doesn't go back after doing it once, though.
** Episode 27 primarily consists of Jon attempting to beat the hammer minigame; while he does need to beat it once to continue and get a powerup, Chugga makes him mistakenly believe that he immediately needed to beat it again to get the next powerup too[[note]]While you do need to complete the minigame twice to collect Amy's second powerup, you have to wait until after completing Amy's second stage and returning to the Egg Carrier field to collect it, something Chugga doesn't discover until after Jon finally completes it a second time.[[/note]]. The last several minutes of the video consist of Jon trying to make Amy walk up the slope of a missile in the Chao Garden.
** Episode 32 sees Jon roaming around Station Square as Big, doing almost all his commentary in the character's voice and (exaggerated) mannerisms.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In one of Jon's Twitch streams, he recalls a moment after the LP and during post-production editing where ''Chugga himself'' tells Jon that Jon overdid his parody Big voice.
* FanNickname: In-universe, E-102 Gamma is almost always referred to as "Humpbot" by the Guys because his idle animation makes it look like he's humping the floor or other characters.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In Episode 17 the trio are so focused on the blocked entrance to the sewer that they fail to notice a man literally walking in midair in the background, even though Jon walks right by him at one point.
* GoodBadBugs[[invoked]]: The game winds up having so many glitches that the three end up having more fun discovering what hilariously bizarre bugs they can find than anything else in the game.
* {{Irony}}: Chugga notes that of the three of them, Jon was the least enthusiastic about Let's Playing Sonic Adventure, but whenever Jon gets his mitts on the controller, he likes to make his turn drag out the longest.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: When listing the characters one can play as in the game, Jon pronounces Knuckles, Amy, and Big's names as "kenuckles", "amme", and "baiga."
** Tim can be heard in the background pronouncing Big's name as "baij" at the same time.
* LoopholeAbuse: Their rotation system dictates that the turn player will pass off the controller to the next person once they finish the next stage. Jon takes advantage of this by screwing around as long as possible to drag out his turn on the controller. Most of what he does accomplishes absolutely nothing.
* {{Mondegreen}}: Chugga confesses that when he was younger he thought the ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon'' series was called "Pants Of Dragoon."
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Jon's approach to this project is largely in line with his streaming habits rather than standard ''TRG'' fare, where he's nicer and is more prone to screwing around because it amuses him. Jon states that he did it this way because he wasn't really feeling ''Sonic Adventure'', but realized that he could squeeze more fun out of it if he treated it like he was streaming.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** Jon just can't believe Chugga messed up as early as he did:
--->'''Jon:''' You were the most gung-ho about this, too! You fucking [[spoiler:died on [[WarmUpBoss Chaos Zero]]]]!
** Chugga does this when performing a DungeonBypass.
--->'''Chugga:''' I am Tails, so fuck you level design!
** Jon flips when [[spoiler:he clips through a floor and falls into the water, thus netting him the first (and only) game over ''in the entire series''.]]
--->'''Jon:''' (''StunnedSilence'') What the ''fuck!?'' Game, come on, that's fucking bullshit, and you know it!
* RubberbandAI: Chugga calls Sonic out on this in Windy Valley when he continuously catches up to Tails even though Chugga is SequenceBreaking the vast majority of the stage.
* RunningGag: Jon messing around with the statue in front of the burger shop, doing so with every character at least once.
** All the Guys trying to create a 'Knuckles party' by attracting a crowd of the IceCreamKoan-spouting echidnas at the pyramid.
* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Discussed by the guys, who note that while the amount of content present in the game was unheard of at the time of its release, video games nowadays have just as much if not even more variety. [[invoked]]
* SimpletonVoice: Big's is present, as should be expected, but Jon also tries his hand at impersonating it.
* SoBadItsGood: Pointed out in-universe; Jon notes that ''Sonic Adventure'' is not a very good game, but he mentions this while Chugga is having way too much fun glitching out a scripted run sequence.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Noted by Jon, stating that they've been doing multiplayer games, a good chunk of them being Nintendo-based. The guys decided to experiment and go the complete opposite; a single-player Sega game.
** Also due to how Chugga has cut the episodes, Jon taking control has so far had an episode of him screwing around instead of actually advancing through the game.
* SwappedRoles: Chugga winds up receiving Tim's role of often dying, Tim takes Jon's role of trying to seriously beat the game, and Jon has Chugga's role of screwing around.
** However, given Jon's history and reputation with buggy games, said screwing around is to be expected especially since he's basically playing as if it was another stream for him.
* TakeThatAudience: The guys discuss that, after Big's reviled appearance in ''Adventure'', Takashi Iizuka, director of the game and its sequel, gave him a cameo in every level of ''Adventure 2'' just to spite his detractors.
* TemptingFate: After his first death in Final Egg, Chugga notes throughout the level that he hasn't died and might make back the lives Jon lost in Lost World and then some. He also often [[LampshadeHanging calls himself out on this]], noting his poor track record with this trope. [[spoiler:Miraculously, he manages to avert it and makes it to the end without dying again, with an excess of lives as he mentioned before.]]
* {{Undercrank}}: During a segment when Jon was forcing Amy to walk up a slope she wasn't meant to walk up, the footage is sped up significantly, with the side effect of giving everyone chipmunk-esque voices and making them nigh-impossible to understand.
