5	!! Series currently produced by Firefilm:
6	* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/no-right-answer No Right Answer]]: A video series in which two of the guys (usually Chris and Kyle) debate the best of two options, such as Best Batman Ever, but usually with bizarre choices, in this case, Val Kilmer or George Clooney.
7	* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/media-sandwich Media Sandwich]]: A podcast where Chris and Kyle and (usually) a guest talk about anything related to video games, movies, or comics, usually going way off the rails.
8
9	!! Older series:
10	* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/drinking-games Drinking Games]]: A video series where they come up with [[DrinkingGame drinking games]] while playing video games.
11	* Armchair Thinkers: A podcast, essentially the prototype for Media Sandwich, produced by Chris and Kyle before the group was called Firefilm. Also known as Empty Calories.
12
13	!!Their series provide examples of:
14
15	* DrinkingGame: Their old show, Drinking Games.
16	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original site for Armchair Thinkers and its iTunes page have both disappeared.
17	* LargeHam: Chris.
18	* NonindicativeTitle: Some of the episodes of No Right Answer have this (for example, Best Anime Ever is actually Pokemon vs Digimon). [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by the creators, saying it works really well for publicity.
19	* SpitTake: Forcing the other person into this is an automatic victory in No Right Answer.
20	* ShoutOut: Chris recites the phrase "thank God for us" in the Best Superhero Team ever episode, a reference to ''The WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}}'', where Jim Sterling ends his episodes with "Thank God for me!"
21	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Kyle and Chris, respectively.
22	* TakeAThirdOption: How Chris wins the ''Best Comic Book Billionaire'' debate. Kyle leads with one of the obvious choices ([[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]]), and obviously expected Chris to counter with the other obvious choice ([[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]]). Chris picked ''[[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Scrooge McDuck]]''.
23	* ThrowItIn: Their approach to podcasting. Everything is left in from the recording.
24	* TwoPartEpisode: [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/no-right-answer/5349-This-Generations-Star-Wars This generation's]] [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/no-right-answer/5349-This-Generations-Star-Wars Star Wars]].
25	* VideoGameMoviesSuck: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/no-right-answer/5511-Worst-Videogame-to-Movie-Adaptation-Ever Worst Videogame to Movie Adaptation Ever]].
26	* VisualPun: A large part of the editing for No Right Answer consists of this.
