* CrossTheLineTwice: Application of this trope from the crazier / desperate fighters tends to create some of the most memorable moments from the show. Special mention should go to the infamous fake movie ''Nightfalls'' Speed Round answer by Kristian Harloff, Cody Decker naming a character Silky Cock in his pitch of the next ''Franchise/AustinPowers'' movie ''Hymens Are Forever'' as well as the Weird Movie Fight and both Drunk Movie Fights.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


** Episode 69, starring Creator/MaxLandis, [[GutturalGrowler Rob Fee]], and [[OnlySaneMan Dan Murrell]], who is forced to argue [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Mike's]] points because Carlson is LateForSchool. Part of the way into the episode, Mike joins in via Skype (with the video upside down) while he's still driving through LA traffic, and only physically makes it to the set in the middle of round four.

* ShippingGoggles: Many viewers have noticed that there seemed to be [[UnresolvedSexualTension some kind of spark]] going on between Dan Murrell and Amy Nicholson when they were against one another in Episode 37. [[spoiler:Dan later admitted on Twitter that the two were, in fact, ''dating'']].

Split tropes per Wick Cleaning Projects


** Invoked in Episode 88, which was actually labelled "Weird Movie Fights". Resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s Mike Carlson and Nick Mundy was brought in (alongside first-time fighter Joe Starr, who is no less weird) to debate topics such as "Pitch a ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} 6'' movie" and "Which two movie characters would have the best sex scene" and "What scene in a movie would be better with a man playing saxophone in the rain?". Even the Speed Round questions were... extremely unconventional, to say the least, with questions like, "If you have to eat any actor, who would it be?"

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** There was a pretty huge outcry against Episode 70's title "Would ''[[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Batman v Superman]]'' Suck?", which seemingly reinforced Screen Junkies' infamous hate against DC. Hours later, the video was retitled into "Would Batman v Superman Be Great?". Episode 74 further attempted to calm haters by titling their next video "Could ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' Suck?", which discussed the second ''Civil War'' trailer that was just released.
** After many felt that he was [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter wasted during his first appearance on the show]] due to the team-up gimmick with Harloff making him OutOfFocus, Episode 73 brings back Creator/JeremyJahns for a normal fight.
** The episode that guest stars WebVideo/AndreTheBlackNerd and Kofi Outlaw can be seen to remedy the lack of black fighters in Movie Fights.
** After fans complaining that the Screen Junkies crew was significantly OutOfFocus during a rather long period of time after the Last Fighter Standing episode (there is only in total 5 appearances as fighters from the original Screen Junkies crew participate from episode 77 to 87 not counting Roth Cornet who only join the crew after her initial appearance, which have a number of ''34'' potential fighters and 3 of them are from the Drunk Movie Fight episode), episode 88 and 89 returned with two all-Screen Junkies fights in special formats with BreakoutCharacter Alicia Malone and Joe Starr participating while EnsembleDarkHorse Ken Napzok returned to [[spoiler:comment on the Bathroom Break segment in the second Drunk Movie Fight]].
** As described in the ItsShortSoItSucks example below, many felt that the first ''Star Wars vs. Star Trek'' topic was wasted due to the short length of the episode it was done in. As a result, Episode 125 brings the topic back, and has 20 minutes dedicated to the question in a match between Scott Mantz and Jon Rocha.
** A common criticism of the show is that after while, questions began to feel repetitive by staying on certain topics related to today's most popular movie franchises, today's most popular actors, as well as things that are culturally relevant in today's time period. As a result, "Classic Film Fights" was created where every once in awhile, an episode will come around where the focus will be on films and actors that were relevant in the movie eras before the 90s.
** The revival of the show post-Andy Signore brought in some criticism amongst people who didn't like the switch from a 3-fighter to 2-fighter format with many feeling that it took away a lot of the actual "fighting" charm. 11 episodes later, Screen Junkies proved that they're listening to the criticism, and returned to the 3-fighter format much to the happiness of the viewers who tuned in for that episode.

Foe Yay has been cut


* FoeYay: Sasha Perl-Raver has this dynamic during her fight with Cody and Coy despite being married. It doesn't help that most of the rebuttal from the three towards each other tends to come across as subdued and friendly as oppose to the usual strong or even vicious ones that the other fighters dish out.
