The first season involved Burnie and Griffon working together to explain and set up the experiments, with Griffon's husband Geoff Ramsey and his friend Gus Sorola, also both longtime members of Rooster Teeth Productions and cast of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', acting as the Lab Rats - usually getting themselves hurt somehow.

Averted in ''Hitman in Real Life'', where the security guards are actively looking out for one of their colleagues as the Hitman, they just don't know ''which'' one or which disguise they're using.

* RefugeInAudacity: Michael and Gavin working together in ''Hitman in Real Life''. Their assassination attempt basically entailed directly walking up to Mike Hawk and his guard, taking them out conspicuously, then walking away smoothly. ''It works''. Bonus audacity points for Gavin giving an enthusiastic thumbs-up after poisoning his guard and even giving a "cheers' with his drink right before slipping away.
