History Trivia / ArbyNTheChief

* TalkingToHimself: Todd and Travis, as well as the voices of all characters that are not figurines (except Agent Smirnoff in TheMovie, portrayed by Daniel Laszlo) are all voiced by Graham himself.

** Behind the scenes videos revealed that at one point, Clyde was meant to be Adam's older brother.

** This trope was lessened in season 5 when Jon actually got a whole voice cast to play some of the characters other than himself due to [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters the sheer number of different characters in that season]]. Though there are still one or two characters where this still applies, such as with Timothy and Nathan in the episode "Cheaters".

* TechnologyMarchesOn: In "Martyrdom", it is mentioned that the Chief's 714GB porn download wouldn't be able to fit on Jon's hard drive. While still a large amount of data, it's no longer an improbably big file size now that hard drives storing terabytes are becoming more common. Still, torrenting such a massive file will no doubt attract the attention of your local ISP.

** TropesAreNotBad. Seasons 5 to 7 have been widely acclaimed.

** Commentary and some ''Bytes'' revealed that working on the show's seventh season had affected Jon's sleep schedule. Machinima was also being difficult to work with, which soon led to Jon leaving the company as well as [[CreatorRecovery announcing an extra eighth season that would give the toys a happier ending]].

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: As of May 9, 2018, multiple and seemingly random episodes of the series were made private on Machinima's [=YouTube=] channel. Considering Jon's bitter split from the company but continuing to feature old episodes (which are still hosted on Machinima) on his independent website, many are wondering if Machinima is attempting to bar Jon from showing off his work. Even before this, there was a general lack of consistency on episode naming, resulting in a difficult time for viewers to navigate through each season without playlists.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The show was originally posted on Machinima from 2008-2013, but with random episodes being set to private in early 2018, it became almost impossible for people to rewatch the series from start to finish without finding Website/YouTube channels that "borrowed" the episodes. Fortunately, beginning on September of that same year, Jon started reposting the older seasons on his own channel one episode per day (although he had to start with Season 3 due to needing to create new music for Seasons 1 and 2 as those Seasons used copyrighted music). However, by early February 2019, Jon decided to release the original episodes as they were with the original copyrighted music.
