* ExplodingBarrels: Taken UpToEleven in ''Target: Terror'', where the baggage storage of an airport is filled with exploding barrels in a variety of colors. The guys posit that they were all confiscated from travelers.

* {{Corpsing}}: The camera crew can often be heard laughing in the background, especially in the early episodes.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The guys get really into some of the games and enjoy themselves. They all seem to like ''Cho Aniki'', and Seanbaby states that he would buy ''Metal Wolf Chaos''.

--> '''Seanbaby''': "We gotta get a good mo-cap guy." "Well, we can't." "Can we get that doughy guy who programmed it?"
--> '''Shane''': This game was developed in Japan... they needed to hire a white guy to be in the game, ''and they found one''.

* TemptingFate: Shane does it ''twice'' while playing ''China Warrior''. First he declares that he is better at video games than Sean and Crispin, then gets hit in the head with a rock less than ten seconds after taking the controller. Having not learned his lesson, he brags about his skills a minute later and gets hit by another rock almost before he's finished speaking, much to Crispin and Seanbaby's amusement.
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: Seanbaby speculates that this is what happened with the Jaguar game ''[=AirCars=]'', which looks and plays like a beta version that someone rushed to market to make a quick buck.[[note]]Funny enough, he's half-right. The game was actually completed and slated for release in 1995, but the publisher cancelled the release due to lackluster early reviews. For some reason, they dumped it onto the market two years later as a limited run of 300 copies that came and went without anyone caring.[[/note]]

* AmericansHateTingle: Comes up during the ''Virtual Hydlide'' episode, when Shane notes that the Hydlide series consistently received bad reviews in America despite being very popular and influential in Japan.

* HoYay: Usually played for laughs, with the guys offering each other handjobs or other sexual favors. It gets ramped up to 11 in the ''Cho Aniki'' episode.
-->'''Seanbaby''': (while apathetically flailing a Wii controller) Crispin, this might be a weird time to tell you this, but ... I love you, man.

* AmericansHateTingle: Comes up during the ''Virtual Hydlide'' episode, when Shane notes that the Hydlide series never caught on in America despite being very popular and influential in Japan.

* FreezeFrameBonus: In ''Hooters Road Trip'', there is a brief clip of ''The Girls Next Door'' star Holly Madison in her pre-Playboy days, putting on an atrocious Southern accent to welcome the player to Georgia.

* InsurmountableWaistHighFence: Crispin lampshades not being able to shoot a thug through a wrought-iron fence while playing ''Robocop''.

* TemptingFate: Shane does it ''twice'' while playing ''China Warrior''.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: The titular character of ''Robocop'' comes across as this, thanks to the in-game dialogue and the lines Seanbaby comes up with.

* ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure: Crispin decides to massacre everyone in Detroit while playing ''RoboCop'', leading Seanbaby to name-check the trope.

* MistakenForGay: As usual, Seanbaby insists that Music/PhilCollins is "the championship level of gay." They're also convinced that the player character of ''VideoGame/EscapeFromBugIsland'' is gay and that the cut men in ''Ring King'' are giving their respective boxers blowjobs. (In their defense, the animations in the latter game really, ''really'' looks like the cut men are doing exactly that.)

** After ''Balls of Fury'', Seanbaby becomes fond of telling game characters to "have your grandma pull the car around".

-->''[smash cut to the two of them inexplicably laid out next to each other on a wrecked bed]''

* HoYay: Usually played for laughs, with the guys offering each other handjobs or other sexual favors.

** After "Balls of Fury", Seanbaby becomes fond of telling various game characters to "have your grandma pull the car around".

* BlackComedyRape: One of the most common jokes in ''Wirehead'', where they assume that the bad guys rape Wirehead after each failure.

* RageQuit: The presenters get so bored with ''Spider-Man 3'' on the Wii that they beg the director to cut. During ''Lifeline'', Shane gets so fed up with the heroine that he lunges, screaming, at the screen.

* TemptingFate: Shane does it ''twice'' while playing ''China Warrior''. First he declares that he is better at video games than Sean and Crispin, then gets hit in the head with a rock less than ten seconds after taking the controller.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The guys get really into some of the games and enjoy themselves. They all seem to like Cho Aniki, and Seanbaby states that he would buy Metal Wolf Chaos.

* CrazyCulturalComparison: The guys discuss the trope while playing ''Cho Aniki'', with Senababy wondering if the game's blatant homoeroticism means something else in its home country of Japan.

* HoYay: Usually played for laughs, with the guys occasionally offering each other handjobs or other sexual favors.

* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: This happens a lot when the guys are playing Target: Terror and the FMV shooters from American Laser, due to their tendency to blaze away at anyone who pops up in their field of view. They lampshade it.
--> '''Shane''': Next time I'm at an actual crime scene, I'm just gonna pop up, be like 'Hey, don't shoot me!'

* MistakenForGay: As usual, Seanbaby insists that Music/PhilCollins is "the championship level of gay." They're also convinced that the cut men in Ring King are giving their respective boxers blowjobs.
* RageQuit: The presenters get so bored with ''Spider-Man 3'' on the Wii that they beg the director to cut. During ''Lifeline'', Shane gets so fed up with the hero that he lunges, screaming, at the screen.
* SeinfeldianConversation: The guys will occasionally stop talking about the game they're playing and detour into a conversational tangent that goes nowhere. Probably the best example is the time Seanbaby recounted the time that he and three other guys watched a Taco Bell worker defile their food while on a late-night burrito run.
* SnarktoSnarkCombat: The guys' banter often falls onto this trope.
--> '''Shane''': Why can't he kick while ducking? That sucks.

** Seanbaby gets in a potshot at Carlos Mencia, one of his favorite targets, during the Cho Aniki episode.
** The VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos episode is one long series of sarcastic jabs at George W. Bush.
* TemptingFate: Shane does it ''twice'' in the China Warrior episode. First he declares that he is better at video games than Sean and Crispin, then gets hit in the head with a potato less than ten seconds after taking the controller. Having not learned his lesson, he says it again a minute later and again gets hit by a potato in seconds.
