History Trivia / TwoBestFriendsPlay

* IKnewIt:
** Happened so much during the ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'' playthrough, that at several points Pat openly worried that the viewers would start calling bullshit because they were predicting the story with such accuracy they might as well have already played it.
** In the ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' playthrough, Pat instantly guesses that Sarah won't make it out of the prologue, and that the watch she gives Joel will become a TragicKeepsake.
** In the ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'', Pat quickly guesses the true identity of the Stranger, and the three also sarcastically predict major plot points, which turn out to be correct.

** There was a "Super Best Friends Watch" of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', and it even had some episodes made, but they were forced to drop it when Konami threatened to sue.

* NamesTheSame: One sidequest in ''{{VideoGame/Yakuza 0}}'' has Majima helping a guy named Suda. Matt immediately jokes that it's Creator/Suda51, the creator of ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes''. A similar thing happens a few episodes later, with a thug named [[{{Creator/HideoKojima}} Kojima]].

** Their Top 10 Games of 2012 lists didn't come out until ''May - June 2013'', and their Top 10s of 2013 wouldn't come out until ''[[{{UpToEleven}} December 2014]]''.

** Happened yet again with a planned ''VideoGame/Persona5'' LP. Atlus decided, [[SarcasmMode in their infinite wisdom]], to not only restrict what could be shown during streams or [=LPs=], [[UpToEleven they also banned anyone from showing any content beyond the in-game date of July 7]]. This essentially made it impossible to LP the game, so it was cancelled before it even began. To make matters worse, the news about Atlus' restrictions came ''mid-recording''. On the plus side, the episodes they did record will be released as quicklooks.

* IKnewIt: Happens a lot during their ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'' playthrough, since they are so GenreSavvy (and the plot rips off so many cliches), that more and more of their predictions about the plot come true. The biggest of these, however, comes right at the end from [[spoiler: Woolie, for guessing that Aiden was really Jodie's stillborn twin brother]] less than halfway through the game.
** Also happens a lot in ''The Walking Dead'', though largely due to being genre savvy.

** The Shitstorm of Scariness 2 video on ''VideoGame/TheXFilesResistOrServe'' got removed from YouTube after a copyright claim from FOX got it content ID'd. Thankfully the launch of the new Super Best Friends website, which doesn't have to deal with YouTube's finicky content ID system, now has the video up and viewable for all [[http://superbestfriendsplay.com/video/x-files-resist-serve-shitstorm-2-shittening/ here]].

** ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'' was planned to be a series, but the first video had the unfortunate timing of being uploaded around the same time that Nintendo was removing monitization from Let's Plays in May of 2013. Nintendo's stance on LP monitization was reversed just a month later, but by that time the guys had already moved on to a busy schedule of doing other games, so they opted to not continue the series past part 1 ([[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Nintendo]] [[VideoGame/DisasterDayOfCrisis related]] Let's Plays still occur, but NSMBU will likely continue to stay a standalone video).

* ActorAllusion: In the ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain America: Super Soldier]]'' video Matt and Pat stop in front of a portrait of Johann Schmidt and take turns wondering why [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Elrond]], [[Film/TheMatrix Agent Smith]], [[Film/{{Transformers}} Megatron]], and [[Film/VForVendetta V]] ([[ComicallyMissingThePoint and Red Skull]]) would have portraits in a German castle before running out of Creator/HugoWeaving movies they can remember.
** They also spend the majority of the ''Series/PrisonBreak'' video referring to Michael and Lincoln as [[Film/ResidentEvilAfterlife Chris Redfield]] and [[Film/{{Blade}} Dracula]], respectively.
** In Beyond: Two Souls, anytime Nathan Dawkins (played by Willem Dafoe) appears, the group often jokes about him needing to catch Film/SpiderMan1.
*** Or [[Film/AntiChrist getting nails hammered into his dick]]. [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Or both simultaneously]].
*** Before the game even starts, when Woolie says that Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe are the only ones that can potentially save this game, Pat quips, "Yeah, you love those [[Film/{{Juno}} hamburger phones]] that [[Film/TheBoondockSaints go crazy and crossdress!]]"
** Their playthrough of the ''[[VideoGame/HarryPotter Harry Potter Kinect]]'' game had the guys making several allusions to ''Film/DieHard'' whenever [[Creator/AlanRickman Snape]] showed up.
--->'''Pat''': (''While viewing a Loading Screen with Snape on it'') Guys, you gotta do potions or else Nakatomi Plaza will go up in flames!

* VitriolicBestBuds: Although they're good friends now, it is revealed in a interview that the two strongly disliked each other when they first met. Unfortunately, this trope came full circle, with the vitriol overwhelming the friendship and ending the friendship and the channel in December 2018.

* ColbertBump: ''T.E.C. 3001'' has gotten a fair bit of publicity thanks to their ringing endorsement of the game in the second Xbox Live Indie Games video, prompting the developers to publicly thank them.

* OneOfUs: It's revealed at the end of the ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' video that [[spoiler:Pat is a brony.]] He has since then outgrown it, however.
** In a Reddit AMA, Pat suggests that the end of the video was a joke that "went way too far".
** They have also shown to know a lot about ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
** Evidence would also point to them being tropers themselves. If not, they are at least highly aware of us, having referenced the wiki and specific tropes by name multiple times.
*** They do indeed check TV Tropes, as confirmed on Reddit. They also link to their TV Tropes page on their official website under the "affiliate" links.

*** Before the game even starts, when Woolie says that Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe are the only ones that can potentially save this game, Pat quips, "Yeah, you love those [[Film/{{Juno}} hamburger phones]] that [[Film/BoondockSaints go crazy and crossdress!]]"

** Happened yet again with a planned ''VideoGame/Persona5'' LP. Atlus decided, [[SarcasmMode in their infinite wisdom]], to not only restrict what could be shown during streams or LPs, [[UpToEleven they also banned anyone from showing any content beyond the in-game date of July 7]]. This essentially made it impossible to LP the game, so it was cancelled before it even began. To make matters worse, the news about Atlus' restrictions came ''mid-recording''. On the plus side, the episodes they did record will be released as quicklooks.

* Their ''Shitstorm 4: Matt and Pat's Scariness Marathon'' special series of videos is so called because of sort of a goof from Matt. During one episode of their ''Superbestfriendcast'' in which they were talking to [[SilentHill2 Guy Cihi]], Matt brought ''Shitstorm'' into the conversation but hesitated on swearing in front of their guest, so instead referred to it as "Matt and Pat's Scariness Marathon" in an awkward manner. After the interview the other guys ribbed him about it, and the rest is history.

** Their playthrough of the ''[[HarryPotter Harry Potter Kinect]]'' game had the guys making several allusions to ''DieHard'' whenever [[Creator/AlanRickman Snape]] showed up.
