* TakeThat: ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is an extremely common target for mockery by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqSFRYuQH-0 the boys]] due to the bad animation, lazy plots, repetitive jokes, and occasional cringe-worthy attempts to be "deep."

** While playing ''VideoGame/{{Forspoken}}'', the group joke that the main character (Frey Holland) took her last name from the Holland Tunnel when she looks at a photo of it. As it turns out, ''she did'' - she was found abandoned as an infant in it.

The channel started in 2012 as "Oney's Video Hole," Chris' alternate account for his various non-animation videos. The LP show itself began in May 2014 as a side project, but later became the channel's main focus. His most frequent recurring guests are his friends Ding Dong and Julian (of the game-development team [[https://www.patreon.com/wanwangames Wan Wan Games]]). Other guests have included Ryan and Matt of ''WebVideo/SuperMega''; Arin of ''WebVideo/GameGrumps''; and his friends Corey (AKA Spazkid), Niall and Zach Hadel (AKA Psychicpebbles) from Newgrounds.

In 2018, Ding Dong and Julian announced that they were taking an indefinite hiatus from the channel in order to focus on their video game company's first major project. Fellow Youtuber Lyle Rath, voice actor Josh Tomar, and Chris' friend and fellow web animator Zach Hadel[=/=]Psychicpebbles have took over their spot as cohosts, with Lyle as an editor. Ding Dong and Julian briefly returned in November 16 2018 before leaving again a few months later due to moving out of state. In April 2021, they guest returned temporarily due to Chris staying with them for most of Spring 2021, with the episodes featuring them appropriately titled "Oney Stays."

* JokeAndReceive: During their playthrough of ''VideoGame/YIIKAPostModernRPG'', there is a part where, after Vella has a heart-to-heart conversation with Alex, the player is given an option to kiss her. Chris, Dong-Dong, and Julian make jokes about kissing Rory, a male party member, when he has a conversation with Alex not too long later. To their complete surprise, at the end of the cutscene, the game actually gives them this option, which they graciously accept.

** "I know people who ''died'' in that shit!" Spinning off of 9/11 jokes, originally from a viral video of an improv actor freaking out over someone calling him "9/11 beard". The guys will often shout this either when 9/11 is mentioned, or more generally, whenever someone is mentintioned to know someone who died.

** During his ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' playthrough, Chris asks Julian, Ding Dong and Matt if they would torture a clone of Osama bin Laden for the real terrorist leader's crimes. They say no, since the clone never killed anyone. Chris proceeds to add more details and makes it clear that he isn't taking no for an answer, leading to a massive argument, during which at some poing the clone went from being one of bin Laden to Adolf Hitler. The debate resumes during the ''Banjo Kazooie'' playthrough. There, Chris asks Matt if he would mind if he screwed a clone of his girlfriend. After Chris continues adding details, a frustrated Matt finally admits that he'd be insulted, which Chris finally considers an acceptable answer.

* HorribleHousing: The Nostalgia Critic, Linkara, and Spoony live in two different, absolutely ''hellish'' houses over the course of both ''Sims'' videos: the first is incredibly cramped and tiny with barely any furniture and surrounded by artificial mountains, and the second is a horrendously long and narrow maze full of industrial fans and nasty-looking green carpeting. Unsurprisingly, life in both homes is hilariously ''miserable'' for them.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Chris are Cory are Sanguine, Ding Dong and Mick are Melancholic, Julian and Tomar are Phlegmatic, Zach and Lyle are Choleric.

''[=OneyPlays=]'' is a [[LetsPlay Let's Play]] channel created by Irish web animator Chris "[=OneyNG=]" O'Neill. The channel started in 2012 as "Oney's Video Hole," Chris' alternate account for his various non-animation videos. The LP show itself began in May 2014 as a side project, but later became the channel's main focus. His most frequent recurring guests are his friends Ding Dong and Julian (of the game-development team [[https://www.patreon.com/wanwangames Wan Wan Games]]).

* NoEnding: The end to ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress'' is just a film clip they can't show, so they're taken back to the menu.

** Subverted by [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], who finds them personally insulting and blames them for people calling him "The Lightbringer" based on his [[Webcomic/{{Lightbringer}} old webcomic]]. He has further elaborated that he doesn't appreciate being referred to by the name of [[OldShame the cringey webcomic he made in high school]].

The humor in every video is silly and sometimes (well, okay, very often) [[CrossesTheLineTwice borders on offensive]], which is part of Chris' style. Fan consensus is usually that the videos are good, and that when a video is good, it's outstanding.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Doug Walker himself responded to [=OneyPlays=] saying that he actually enjoyed the jokes/impressions they made of him as a RunningGag. Subverted by Linkara, who finds them personally insulting and blames them for people calling him "The Lightbringer" based on his old webcomic.
** Even infamous creator of Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Christine Weston Chandler "ChrisChan" actually had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGj2Fa_NY6w positive response]] to one of their impressions and jokes about them.
