2
3'''Spanning several videos:'''
4* Taking a piss break during Divas wrestling matches. Ultimately dropped in-series when the matches actually start carrying some type of merit, though references to them being piss breaks are still alluded to.
5* His "[[SarcasmMode adoration]]" of Lumberjack matches.
6* Referencing Wrestling/RomanReigns and his "mild smugness".
7* Having fun with a wrestlers name (especially "[[Wrestling/BrockLesnar Bah-rock Lesnar]]" and Wrestling/{{Seth|Rollins}} [[Wrestling/SethRollins Rollin]]'''[[Wrestling/SethRollins g]]'''[[Wrestling/SethRollins s]]).
8* Playing the clip of Jerry Lawler acting surprised that Wrestling/TheBigShow was showing up despite his theme already playing.
9** Subverted with the 12/5-6/16 episode with Michael Cole acting excited instead of surprised.
10* "Big Show, stop doing ___!" "I'm having fun!"
11* Anything Big Show-related, for that matter.
12* Exaggerating JBL's Texas accent when he says the name of [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]]. ("DANIEL BRAAAAAAAAAAN")
13* Replacing Daniel Bryan's "YES!" chant with less catchy synonyms, like:
14** "QUITE! QUITE! QUITE!"
15** "RATHER! RATHER! RATHER!"
16** "INDEED! INDEED! INDEED!"
17** "I DISAGREE! I DISAGREE! I DISAGREE!"
18* Any time he tells a bad joke, he leans into the camera with a silly grin while a TERRIBLE JOKE caption blinks underneath.
19* Wrestlers pointing at the [=WrestleMania=] sign.
20* Bray Wyatt is coming to challenge someone for [=WrestleMania=] 31 (Wrestling/TheUndertaker). His opponent is an unknown person (The Undertaker). Whose identity is a secret ([[RuleOfThree The Undertaker]]). Who knows who he could be talking about [[CaptainObviousReveal it's The Undertaker it's the fucking Undertaker]].
21** [[BrickJoke THE FUCKING UNDERTAKER]].
22** Given a somewhat TearJerker-y sendoff in the video for [=WrestleMania=] 33.
23* Dean Ambrose being compared to a chipmunk/squirrel/small rodent.
24* Repeated jabs at Wrestling/BookerT's ridiculous statements on commentary. ("2 and 99 percent" "Shucky ducky quack quack")
25--->"Yes, Booker. I also think that ______"
26** Has a female version, as Martin often pokes fun at pay-per-view pre-show host Wrestling/{{Lita}}'s incoherence on commentary.
27** In addition, Shawn Michaels' incoherent gibberish during commentary, primarily because of how much they contrast with his clear-cut promos.
28* Laughing at Curtis Axel's mere existence, after the announcers basically declared him to be a joke contender.
29* ADAM ROSE! {{beat}} Adam Rose! {{beat}} ''Adam Rose!''
30** With Adam Rose having been future-endeavored by WWE in 2016, it seems like [[Characters/{{Rocky}} Apollo]] [[Creator/TerryCrews Crews]] had taken his place for this gag as of the 2017 ''Royal Rumble''. The gag is given one final send-off in the Wrestlemania 34 recap.
31* Also, did you know Wrestling/SinCara is Spanish for ______?
32* Making fun of Sin Cara's tendency to botch, even if his character is now played by the far more reliable Jorge Arias, a.k.a. Hunico.
33* Getting censored anytime he mentions [[Wrestling/ChrisBenoit Chris Be<SOMEONE ELSE>]] or the [[FinishingMove Cri<DINOSAUR VAGINA>]].
34* Wrestling/ErickRowan... talking... very... slowly... taking five minutes to get from one sentence to the next. When he does speak up again, [[JumpScare it makes Martin jump]].
35* Wrestling/KofiKingston is 'The Guy' who has 'done it' in the WWE (as christened by Wrestling/BookerT), and any mention of other guys being 'The Guy' is mocked, [[TriviallyObvious because there can only be one 'Guy', guy]], as they haven't 'done' anything.
36** Regrettably, Kofi Kingston is no longer 'The Guy' as of the Money in the Bank 2016 review, as 'The Guy' is now Wrestling/RomanReigns.
37* Renee Young [[JustSmileAndNod 'smiles and nods'.]]
38* Being surprised that wrestlers, on a wrestling show, are having a wrestling match.
39* And sometimes, while they are wrestling, they will do something that will cause a bunch of referees to come out and wave their arms around saying [[DullSurprise "No, no, don't do that."]] This usually has mixed results.
40* [[IncomingHam "OHHHH FORT LAUDY DAUDY! You've got to feel it in your body!"]] or other over-the-top Big E exhortations.
41* Having a reaction sketch where he goes on a ridiculously long trip with his mouth 'smiling' wide open the entire way, after a lame or offensive joke by Jerry Lawler.
42* Replacing numbers with Wrestling/BookerT yelling "NINE NINE NINE NINE!"
43* Using a clip of Booker T saying the word "goaded" whenever the word comes up.
44* [[{{Mondegreen}} Intentionally mishearing]] the Usos' Siva Tau. "THEY POST OUR PORN! THEY POST OUR PORN!"
45* He insists that the largely inconsequential Intercontinental Title Belt is "prestigious", often following or preceding a joke about said belt being worthless.
46* A small Irish bloke named Greg is now a part of the Website/TVTropes Page!
47* Voicing his disdain for Sheamus whenever he's on-screen.
48* Referring to Luke Harper's body odor, body hair, or other unhygienic variations.
49* Rolling another verb in the sentence with [[Wrestling/SethRollins Seth Switchings]]' last name.
50** Somehow it only gets funnier every time he uses the [[RunningGag Rolling Gag]] with [[Wrestling/SethRollins Seth Runnings]].
51* Are there any other running gags?... Hold on, lemme call my people to check.
52-->'''JBL:''' [[CaptainObvious He's calling his people!]]
53* Pushing for the "Glass of Milk" as a legitimate title contender. "GLASS OF MILK! GLASS OF MILK! GLASS OF MILK!"
54* [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Crazy Grandpa Terry's]] misadventures, as he runs around blathering and committing random acts of violence.
55* On the rare occasions Wrestling/ZackRyder makes an appearance, Martin claims Ryder legally doesn't exist or is just a mirage.
56* Referring to Wrestling/MarkHenry as "Sensual Candybar Mark Henry" or similar terms.
57* Getting [[JumpScare increasingly scared]] by Wrestling/{{Sting}} screaming.
58* Anytime he has an idea of what he thinks is gonna happen, he gets told the truth by someone offscreen. He replies, "You're fucking lying."
59* Referring to Wrestling/{{Charlotte}} as "Wrestling/RicFlair's daughter Charlotte" or conversely, Ric Flair as "Ric Flair's daughter Charlotte's father."
60* Copies of video games (e.g. ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}''), TV shows (e.g. [[Series/{{House}} "THIS IS MY HOUSE!!!]]"), or movies appearing in wrestlers' hands whenever they vaguely say something that could be related to said game/TV show/movie out of their original context.
61* Mentioning Randy Orton going AWOL during his time in the military or poking fun at him being a FlatCharacter despite being an A-lister.
62* Whenever Wrestling/{{Cesaro}} is on-screen doing something or wins a match, Martin notes that no one cares about him because he's from Switzerland.
63* Frequently calls red-headed wrestlers (eg. the aforementioned Sheamus or Lita) or other people who show up during the episode as part of the [[EvilRedhead "Ginger Uprising."]]
64* Whenever Bo Dallas shows up, Martin says JBL's favorite game is ''VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper''.
65* Mentioning Braun Strowman being a seven foot tall baby, often needing his diaper changed.
66* Saying [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial the crowd isn't booing Roman Reigns]], but rather they are cheering for him in some unorthodox way.
67* Referring to Tom Phillips as a grade school-aged boy pretending to be an adult.
68* Claiming that Kevin Owens resembles Creator/TeamFourStar's Nick "Creator/{{Lanipator}}" Landis.
69* He's [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely not bitter]] about having to spend several hours waiting to get to his seat at [=WrestleMania=] 32.
70* '''ENOUGH STUPID REFERENCES!'''
71* Whenever Martin describes an unlikely event, it's followed by Big E. saying: '''PSYCHE! WE BURNED THAT FOOTAGE!'''
72* Champions coming out first, which usually goes against wrestling tradition, but this definitely doesn't bother Martin. Nope.
73
74'''Limited to one video:'''
75* Big Show growling "WRONG!!!" whenever a wrestler or announcer says, or is quoted as saying something stupid. Or if Martin himself makes an amusing or sarcastic quip.
76* In the 4/20-4/23/15 episode, he keeps making jokes about shampoo after he brings up that Edge and Booker T's feud at [=WrestleMania=] X8 was all about getting to star in a shampoo commercial.
77** Also in that same episode, he adds wrestling themed names to other reality shows when talking about ''Tough Enough''.
78* During the Extreme Rules, he constantly references how "[[SarcasmMode extreme]]" they are when they follow the rules.
79* Dean Ambrose saying "aaaaanyway" whenever a joke falls flat.
80* Referencing [[Wrestling/KevinSteen Kevin Owens]]' warning "don't believe everything you read on the Internet, Wrestling/{{Michael|Cole}}" when talking about unfounded or made-up dirt sheet rumors.
81* Fastlane 2015 has two, courtesy of Booker T. He refers to things as "Ex-trah-ordinerey!" in an stereotypically exaggerated Chinese voice, and when Martin optimistically hopes for something cool to happen, Booker issues a rebuttal with "That's not gonna happen".
82* For [=WrestleMania=] 33, he repeatedly alludes to JBL's incessant backstage bullying of Maruo Ronallo, which caused the latter to suffer a depressive breakdown and temporarily leave the company.
83* Punctuating jokes with Wrestling/BeckyLynch saying "Zing!"
