8!![=WeeklyMangaRecap=] provides examples of:
9* {{Angrish}}: Whenever one of the manga being talked about gets bad enough one or both of the hosts will be reduced to this.
10* AttentionDeficitOhShiny: A RunningGag on the show is that Quinn and Nik often end up going on tangents during the show which often have little or nothing to do with the manga they are reviewing. This eventually led to one episode where Quinn decided to eat a variety of disgusting jellybeans as a type of penalty game every time they got on a tangent.
11* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Early on in WMR's run the guys often tried to keep their episodes about an hour long, sometimes less. Overtime the episodes got longer and longer and nowadays they tend to keep their episodes around about an hour and a half or two hours long.
12* FanFic: Quinn made an erotic Manga/WorldTrigger fanfic that she (thus far) has made five parts off and will often ask Nik or one of the guests to read out on air.
13* LamePunReaction: Quinn will make several Halloween-themed puns during any podcast around the holiday that will usually produce annoyance or laughter from Nik.
14* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Inverted while the two may introduce themselves with their internet handles Nik and Chris refer to each other by their first names and the chat replies in kind. It helps that they are both good friends in real life. Overtime it reached a point where the two often don't even bother with their handles anymore and just introduce themselves by name.
15* TheRival: Have declared the woodworking podcasters on the iTunes hobby section to be their rivals. They used to consider the Shonen Jump Podcast to be their bitter rivals for many years but nowadays they are more {{Friendly Rival}}s then anything.
16* RunningGag: A lot over their many years reviewing manga. To list a few, we have:
17** [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Unohana is dead and never coming back.]]
18** [[Manga/{{Toriko}} The one old man on the planet who hates food.]]
19** Chris and Nik being crappy [[Manga/FoodWars Shokugeki]] judges thanks to their [[PickyEater very specific preference in foods.]]
20** Their long and often out of nowhere tangents.
21** [[Manga/ThePromisedNeverland #Ray and his "baby memories."]]
22* TemptingFate: During the podcast, after reading an emotional Uruka chapter of ''Manga/WeNeverLearn'' Quinn earnestly declared that it was a better Harem series then ''Manga/{{Nisekoi}}''. ''The next goddamn chapter'' was an OverlyLongGag about breast sizes. Nik was not amused.
23-->'''Nik:''' This chapter was garbage. It only makes sense that we got a chapter this phenomenally stupid and juvenile immediately after you declared this was a better series to ''Nisekoi'' as if the god of manga came down and said "oh you dare to speak such heresy? I'll show you what's a worse harem series!
