* WhamEpisode: The April 21, 2023 Drunk Strum, which culminated in their first Twitch ban. On the day before, Reice announced that beloved TeamPet Randall had passed away from cancer and uploaded a memorial montage containing some of her appearances in the boys' skits amongst personal photos. Having orginally intended to go live to celebrate their current run of merch finally selling out, they decided to get even more drunk than planned to honor Randall, taking shots after donations and purchases. Eventually they found themselves doing what they did best - mindlessly destroying shit, putting themselves at risk and playing with weapons - Reice got out a crossbow and wanted to see if he could shoot an arrow all the way through a door, with Joey opting to go behind it and record from the other side, instead getting hit in the stomach. The stream went offline for several minutes, sending the chat into a panic about Joey's wellbeing before it resumed so he could show that he was alive (although bleeding profusely) and for Reice to announce that they were ''never'' doing a Drunk Strum again.

* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: The group used to hold Drunk Strums, which were gaming livestreams where they would do things like take a bet or drink more booze after reaching certain donation amounts. In the final stream before they moved to their house from 2013 to 2017, they accidentally leaked their address and the chat responded by ordering them a pizza, and the group then proceeded to rope the delivery guy into drinking and playing CSGO on air with them.

The April 2023 stream culminated in Joey getting injured when Reice tried to shoot an arrow through a door with a crossbow, shocking the group so much that they swore off Drunk Strums for good.



* BlackComedy: Suicide jokes are rampart throughout the series, most commonly in the form of the noose that Tyler keeps in his room attached to his ceiling fan or occasionally wears as a scarf.

** Even after Reice accidentally shot Joey with a crossbow, the two of them and Tyler couldn't help laughing over the near-death experience and showing off the wound on camera.



* CatsAreMean: Randal and Other Cat are probably [[AvertedTrope the only decent residents of the household]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: Reice was so horrified about ''nearly killing Joey'' in April 2023 that he vowed to never again livestream under the influence of alcohol.



* TheFunInFuneral: "our pet passed away" features the gang burying Freddy the stingray in the middle of the night while it's pouring down rain. Tyler and Joey can't see shit when they try to check if the hole the former dug is deep enough, Jonny is hoisting a flag in the background that is used as a grave marker after the corpse is unceremoniously dumped in, and the video ends with Joey wanting to know where [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Moose]] is and Reice deciding to go work out on the treadmill inside (read: on the patio barely away from all the rain).
* GenderBlenderName: Randal is a girl, despite what her name indicates.

** Randall's funeral was a MeaningfulFuneral...at first. The boys then decided to ramp up the Drunk Strum organised for the following day in her memory, got absolutely wasted after a $1000 donation and had to cut it short after Reice accidentally shot Joey with a crossbow.
* GenderBlenderName: Randal Randall is a girl, despite what her name indicates.



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Reice didn't have the heart to fill his tweets and video descriptions with vulgar humor when he had to announce Randall's death, a stark contrast to the blase attitude he had the last time the ODS crew lost a pet.



** Petting Randal being treated as something masturbatory or otherwise sexual.

** One of the boys saying "You're good!" while trying to help each other transport vehicles and other bulky objects, especially if they're about to hit something.



* TeamPet: Randal, the guys' cat, frequently shows up in videos as she wanders around the house and watches their antics or is forced into them, usually courtesy of Reice. Later on, the guys adopt a dog named Moose, but she is eventually replaced by a white cat named Other Cat.

** Joey nearly got himself killed when he went behind a door that Reice was trying to shoot with an arrow to see if it would go through. It ''did'', and Joey only survived getting hit in the stomach because it didn't have a proper tip and only went half an inch deep.

* DemotedToExtra: While Jonny and Kevan have all but disappeared by the early 2020s, Joey continues to handle the filming but speaks way less frequently than he used to.



* DIYDisaster: Reice has spent most of 2018 onwards getting into home projects, either fixing things or making contraptions. They never end well, not at all helped by his insistence on creating nonsensical devices.

They never end well, not at all helped by his insistence on creating nonsensical devices. He eventually roped Tyler into these shenanigans so he could compete with someone - and in true Reice fashion, he allocates better budgets and time limits to himself than he does for Tyler.



* SelfDeprecation: It's pretty much their modus operandi. Many videos and their descriptions will make note of the absolute lack of effort that went into them regardless of the subject, and how often they sell out and hold CSGO-related promotions.

They even have a line of Supreme parody clothing called Disappointment.


Added DiffLines:

* StylisticSuck: If Reice has the opportunity to make something as shitty as possible, he ''will'' take advantage of it. Inventions, visual glitches in videos, merchandise - not even the advertisements for his sponsors are safe.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Tyler's gradually been getting along better with Reice since 2020, around the same time that the pair took more of an interest in questionable inventions.
