5[[folder:Gags Used By Multiple Streamers]]
6%%
7* When faced with hard jumps, streamers are encouraged to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qammSSEwhiE JUMP THE CHASM]].
8%% This should probably explain where it originated.
9%%
10* The scariest and spookiest games all involve skeletons and/or run on old systems such as Platform/Atari2600.
11%% This should probably say where it originated.
12%%
13* The streamers have an odd obsession with the word "trash" as an {{Inherently Funny Word|s}}, mainly due to how Creator/DannyDeVito says it during his character Frank Reynolds' stint on ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' as the Trash Man, a wrestling character he created. Several quotes of his have proven to be very popular with the streamers, Joel and Vinny especially, and the streamers tend to list themselves as playing "Trash" whenever they play a game that Twitch doesn't recognize.
14--> '''Frank:''' I'M THE TRASH MAN! I START EATIN' GARBAGE!
15--> '''Frank:''' When I'm dead, just throw me in the trash.
16* Imakuni and Jen have become associated with "nuggies" (chicken nuggets) and have emoticons for them in their Twitch chats. This came up in a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosX'' level featuring them when Vinny held a contest for that game in 2015.
17* [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Funky Kong]] ASMR. Vinny and Joel both make frequent references to docfuture1's infamous "[[https://youtu.be/68JQtxTzjqc Caring and Supportive Funky Kong Gives You A Ride Home From The Airport]]" video whenever either Funky Kong or ASMR are brought up, typically by getting really close to the microphone and saying "hey dudes" in a low voice.
18* Vinny and Joel occasionally describe particularly bad or just plain weird "music" as [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty "Human Music"]], with the implication being that only aliens could've produced that kind of music. Joel in particular likes pronouncing the phrase as "[[FunetikAksent HEWMAN MYUSIK]]", which [[https://youtu.be/e4t-n879e_0?t=10782 he says]] is him copying how [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration the Ferengi]] say the word "human".
19* "TOOHOO". An intentional misspelling and mispronunciation of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' done by Joel in several streams. Fans also give secondary misspellings, such as ''2hu'' and ''TUUHUU''. Vinny started using the mispronunciation as well after it started to bleed over, particularly when a large number of requests to play certain ''Touhou'' games started coming in. Having a number of badly made fan games showing up in Sunday Stream packs also helped.

23* Clowns are a big fascination of Vinny's and tend to come up in his streams a lot. He explains that his interest in clowns stemmed from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViKH-7jvxeY his childhood]], when his cousin tried to scare him with a comic depicting {{Monster Clown}}s invading his hometown when they were younger (with Vinny adding that he never really found clowns scary ''or'' funny). For example, in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS5bKYMhr7M played as]] a character named Whacko the Clown), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLGS8wNLsYw shared a story]] about two strange clowns he saw in March. He also joked about obscuring the gameplay footage with a picture of a clown while streaming ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''. Two especially common clown-related gags of his:
24** Vinny likes to refer to brightly colored and garbled looking graphics as "clown vomit", such as what you'd get from a corruption. For example Vinny once described corrupted ''Super Mario 64'' textures as looking like the inside of a septic tank of a clown who's spent years partying too hard.
25** Vinny is also fond of quoting "You want penis enlargement pills?" (from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamKHb_JEEg this Vine]] where a guy dressed as [[Literature/{{It}} Pennywise]] asks the same question) whenever talking about clowns or [[https://youtu.be/Y1Sx3HqYq_k?t=2844 even the mere possibility of a clown appearing]].
26* Vinny likes to attribute [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment particularly creepy]] corruptions to Satan, who he sometimes also calls "Sataniel" (pronounced like "Nathaniel"). He also once considered attributing corrupted music to Music/NineInchNails, but it never caught on.
27* "Spaalonebabuguuscooties", which came from a ''Zelda'' corruption; the "spaalone" part comes from a cross between the previous text's "'''Spa'''y me for the dooret" (which in turn was mostly a corrupted version of "Pay me for the door repair charge") and the original game's "It's dangerous to go '''alone'''! Take this." It's become an occasional source of other gibberish words for Vinny. "Babuguuscooties" first appeared as a Skype status that Vinny declared "the worst thing he'd ever seen", and "Spaalonebabuguu" appears as Lamb Chop's catchphrase in the Tomodachi playthroughs.
28* Vinny's [[Webcomic/{{Dolan}} Dolan Duk]] impression. Vinny tends to drop into an extremely odd-sounding Donald Duck-like growl if he gets particularly agitated, and also unintentionally when he sneezes. (This is probably why Dolan became an islander in [[WebVideo/VinesauceTomodachiLife his Tomodachi Life streams]], at least until Vinny became tired of him.)
29* "YOU CAN MOVE YOUR BODY FREELY!" is a quote by ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' composer Naoki Maeda during Creator/{{Konami}}'s (awkward) E3 2010 press conference to promote ''VideoGame/DanceMasters''. Vinny usually quotes it whenever weird body movements come into play, and it's always said in Maeda's thick Japanese accent (i.e. "you can move yo body freery").
30* Vinny is fond of referencing the former White Sox baseball player [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_Kuntz Rusty Kuntz]][[note]]pronounced "Coontz", rhyming with "raccoon"[[/note]] due to his [[CountryMatters terribly]] {{Unfortunate Name|s}}. He was even the focus point of a level in the 2015 ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosX'' level contest.
31* CUBE. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Back when autopilot was still a standard feature of Vinesauce streams, one of the videos it would play featured a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aGDCE6Nrz0 bizarre, fictional game starring a cube in a world of minimally textured geometric shapes, with the final boss being a cone.]] Vinny brought it up in 2016 during a stream of ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'', which features cube-shaped [[GottaCatchThemAll collectables]]. Surprisingly, despite Vinny's admission that he resurrected an old meme and his general dislike of memes, he was OK with the fact that he made this video relevant again.[[/labelnote]]
32* Vinny's "club cousin", who he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSNi5UbDU6A first spoke of]] during a stream of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime 3D''. He mentioned said cousin randomly showed up at his house wanting him to go to his club, with Vinny comparing his clubbing to Stefan from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. Vinny added that the club's name seems to change every time it's mentioned and both Vinny and fan artists frequently reference the incident with quotes along the lines of "You gotta come to my club. It's called ''[word]''." He also mentioned that this cousin also once called Vinny up while he was driving, and asked Vinny to go into business with him making custom Star Wars figures, resulting in "Custom made [''Franchise/StarWars'' character] figure" being another popular catchphrase. It's gotten to the point where a mention of ''any'' cousin inevitably leads to many chat members asking "Club cousin?", which is ''always'' answered by Vinny saying it's ''never'' the club cousin (he mentions the two didn't have much in common and didn't talk much aside from these incidents).
33* Impressions of the "Polish Water Ice" vendor. Vinny told a story about the boardwalk he went to in New Jersey for which the man he saw at the water ice shop was pretty annoying about the flavors he had. He gets really close to the mic and starts saying slowly "Come down to the boardwalk, we have water ice, we've got blueberry, raspberry, etc., best on the boardwalk." These phrases are said with a really thick New Jersey accent.
34* Vinny has a tendency to say "My passive proc'd" (or a variation of it) whenever he discovers [[GameBreakingBug any sort of bug]] in the games he plays, implying that the ability to inflict bugs on games is a real-life StatusEffect of his. Most of the time he says this, he's clipping through a wall.
35* "Mario has logged in", a phrase that shows up [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKeyZ4J3XS8 exactly once]] in indie RPG Maker game ''VideoGame/ToiletInWonderland''. Vinny's sheer bewilderment at the phrase (and what happens shortly after seeing said phrase on-screen) led him to eventually appropriate it for other weird Mario-related things, such as corruptions or bad fan games.
36* Vinny played a indie game called ''Johan's Farm'' in one of his streams. When he died by being crunched in a [[Film/MaximumOverdrive ghost-piloted tractor]], a lyric-reduced Slovenian version of ''Old Mac Donald Had a Farm'' [[https://clips.twitch.tv/ArtsyHotOkapiThunBeast?tt_medium=clips&tt_content=recommendation played]] as Game Over music. The lyrics of the music consists in a [[ScrewedByTheNetwork pitched-down]] man voice singing ''Na kmetiji je lepo,'' '''''EIEIO!'''''. Since them, every game Vinny plays with a unexpected farm theme, he plays that song. According to himself, this game is the worse thing that he ever streamed.
37* As an extension of the original "CHARLOTTE!" "JONATHAN!" "CHARLOTTE!" "JONATHAN!" meme ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin'', Vinny has a tendency to repeat the names of any guy-and-girl protagonist duo, just like Charlotte and Jonathan do in their game. Sometimes, he even does it [[https://youtu.be/9pNbXb2s44c?list=PLlc94szfcNDEQA1IFvWFYerYEWX-YNdEl&t=1122 with namedrops in general]].
38* During one stream, Vinny showed off [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7wFNIR0KtQ a clip]] of Music/MichaelJackson performing a duet of "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" with Siedah Garrett on-stage. At the end of the song, the instrumental recording failed to cut out, forcing Michael and Siedah to have to improvise until the music could be switched off. At one point, Michael apparently fired the stage director ''on the spot,'' shouting "JOB'S GONE" and singing other threats against the stage director. Vinny found the sudden exclamation so amusing that variants of the phrase "job's gone" quickly became a catchphrase for any form of depriving someone access to something else, from joking about being banned from Twitch to accidentally killing someone's father in ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2''. Another variant is "[[{{Pun}} VOD's gone]]", usually said when copyrighted music ends up being played during the streams (which Twitch's automatic moderators tend to censor).
39* "Doodle Dip", a character from his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqXl8nAMVkQ stream]] of ''VideoGame/SpaceKids''. One of the characters[[note]]actually named Zeedle, but Vinny assumed it was a case of PokemonSpeak[[/note]] would keep saying [[SpeakingSimlish what sounds like "doodle dip"]], over and over and over again, to the point that even though Vinny declared it a most annoying sound, the phrase would not leave his head.
40* During an early 2019 stream, Vinny showed the chat a bizarre ([[Memes/AntMan1 and highly memetic]]) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpPx7E27Bc8 promo clip]] for 2015's ''Film/AntMan1'', featuring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas slapping their chests and knees while Douglas yells "ANTS," interspersed with brief clips of ants. It wasn't until the stream of the ''YouTubePoop'' generator program YTP+ (which took the clip from Vinny's collection of videos to make several mini-Poops) that the chat got attached to it and Vinny would frequently reference while doing a Michael Douglas impression whenever ants appear in his games.
41* During one of Vinny's "Shit Show" streams, he comes across a game called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtNeVqvk58w Be My Master]], featuring a stray CatGirl. The absurdity of it caused Vinny to go into a giggle fit. Whenever a cat (or cat girl) comes up on stream, Vinny usually refers to it as a "Stray Cat Girl".
42* After learning about the SoBadItsGood 1989 direct-to-video film ''Film/CreatingRemLezar'' via ''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst'', Vinny became fond of the eponymous main character Rem Lezar and made him into a frequent joke on his streams. A particular source of mockery is the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKdtO2HWWoc "Higher"]] from the film, thanks to it being incredibly banal yet surprisingly catchy.
43* Vinny likes to say "I will furnish you with every [[RougeAnglesOfSatin informations]] you need" or some variation of it occasionally when [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle teaching chat something about the game he's playing]]. Apparently picked up the phrase from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjP1Rd9Gr_0&feature=youtu.be&t=3962 someone]] trying to pull a classic FourOneNineScam on him.
44* "GO TO THE BATHROOM! '''YOU[='=]RE SHITTING YOURSELF!!'''", from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQAfxgm3r0s "CRAZY PARENT FLIPS OUT AT SON"]], a rather notorious moment from one of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-8izW-Qh0bfRvEaA0pf_Zg creeperman90]][='=]s streams, which [=DesertP=] had [[SarcasmMode the good graces]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gor46CW6phk&t=695 link Vinny to]] during a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2'' stream (albeit with footage of ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' replacing the original ''VideoGame/MafiaIII'' footage). It was made even funnier by the stream going down a few minutes after playing the clip. Vinny even prefaced it saying that it [[BlatantLies definitely wouldn't become a meme]]. Naturally, tends to play or quote the clip when witnessing any situation that remotely resembles PottyEmergency or PottyFailure.
45* "I'm alive! I'm born! I'm free!"/"I'm your brother!"/"Put me back! I'M NOT DONE!", all quotes are from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qIyNIrUzVg "Super Mario Larva Bros."]], a video that was linked to Vinny early in 2019 because a lot of people in his viewer base thought WebAnimation/LumpyTouch's voice over for Mario and Luigi was provided by Vinny. Prone to quoting the video when playing Mario-related games, for obvious reasons.
46* Vinny often pretends to not know what a condom is when one appears in a stream. He wrapped one around a teabag (''VideoGame/ChibiRobo Photo Finder'' asked him to take a picture of a teabag) and said it was a tea cosy, adding that it keeps the tea from getting too moist. Later someone sent him Vinesauce-themed condoms and he said they were Fruit Roll-Ups. These events led him to joke that he wondered why the tea and the "Fruit Roll-Ups" tasted like spermicide. However, he did break character once to say that he refused to take the condom off the teabag before taking a picture of it, despite the game having trouble recognizing it as a teabag while it was in the condom.
47* Barret Wallace was a big source of catchphrases for Vinny during his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' streams. Usually when Barret was onscreen with Cloud exchanging dialogue with him, Vinny would frequently imitate Barret shouting "You jes' FULL OF SURPRISES, Cloud!" Otherwise he would imitate Barret wistfully saying "[[SayMyName Biggs...Wedge...Jessie...]]" It got hilarious when Vinny unlocked Barret's "Ungarmax" LimitBreak, where he would pronounce "anger" as "ungar", since the move's name was supposed to be "Angermax."
48* For generic protagonists, mostly from FirstPersonShooters and the like, Vinny would refer to them as "John (insert occupation here)". examples include [[VideoGame/{{DOOM}} "John Doom"]] or [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} "John Space Marine"]], or "[[Franchise/TheElderScrolls Todd]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Warrior of Light]]."
49* From Vinny's streams of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess HD'':
50** Vinny frequently expresses hatred of Malo and also refers to the game's kids in general (primarily Ilia) as aliens, at one point saying that the reason monsters want to kidnap them is because they need a sample of alien DNA.
51** He brings back his goofy, speech-impaired Goron voice from his streams of ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' and ''Majora's Mask 3D''.
52** He continually jokingly refers to Midna as a cat, the latter of which annoyed several viewers who didn't know he was joking.
53** Vinny acts annoyed whenever the postman shows up suddenly, often following this up by being amused by his goofy face and voice.
54** When Vinny comes across a Hylian stamp, he discusses whether the stamps he's collected up to that point can be used to post various profanity on Miiverse.
55* If Vinny ends up discussing food during a stream, he ends up commenting that it might not be a good idea to do so because it could make both him and the viewers hungry. During his seventh stream of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'', after the subject of Italian food came up and he gave a particularly detailed description of cannoli, he said that his tendency to stream late at night means that talking about food would be especially bad because not everyone wants to buy cannoli at 1:30 AM.
56* Vinny sometimes uses the term "shitty [name of character/celebrity]" to refer to intentionally bad impressions, such as "shitty Creator/MorganFreeman" during a stream of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosX'' and "shitty [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Bender]]" (usually in reference to [=DiMaggio's=] [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Tinkie Winkie]] performance) as a recurring example.
57* From Vinny's streams of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'':
58** After a failed attempt to retrieve a cookbook from Hyrule Castle for a sidequest, Vinny started joking about said cookbook, such as jokingly saying he wondered if it could be found in an unrelated location.
59** Vinny ended up with a habit of accidentally killing foxes, which became comical due to a combination of how frequently it happened, Vinny's reactions, and the fact that the foxes seemed to run toward Link while he was swinging his sword at other things. Some of Vinny's reactions include various ''VideoGame/StarFox'' references, such referring to himself as Andross or referring to Revali as Falco and "apologizing" to him for killing Fox.
60** Multiple instances of jokes Vinny thought were particularly goofy, such as puns that earned a LamePunReaction from him, led Vinny to claim that the jokes in question were probably written by Bill Trinen.
61** Vinny getting high from finding Koroks and being addicted to them.
62* Vinny has a tendency to reference the ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' theme whenever slap bass is used in a game's music, such as saying "I'm ready for the ''Seinfeld'' theme" after hearing Gladion's battle theme from ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon''.
63* During Vinny's ''VideoGame/Splatoon2: Octo Expansion'' streams, a troll spammed him with the sentence "Do you like tartar sauce", a reference to the expansion's final boss. This caused viewers in the chat to spam the same sentence during many plot-important moments.
64* Vinny tends to bring up the fact that he has an English degree whenever he mispronounces a word, accidentally uses incorrect grammar, or a combination of the two.
65* Vinny, whenever he sees any control menu for any [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario game]], or characters typing or making use of their hands, will often quote ''Mario Teaches Typing'' to say "Get ready to move your pingorrrss!" with emphasis on the "pingors" pronunciation.
66* Vinny's refusal to play ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', due to being hounded by its fans to play it despite his lack of interest. Whenever the game comes up, such as during a Nintendo Direct stream, Vinny will often go dead silent for the duration, then pretend that he didn't see it.
67-->'''Vinny:''' I'm sorry, did something happen? I stepped away from my computer for a moment.
68* Vinny usually referred to Dampé as "Dampy" during his streams of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'', with that pronunciation being an old in-joke between him and Mike. The same streams ended up containing frequent references to hoisting after Yuga used the word "hoist" during a cutscene and Vinny found it oddly amusing, which was followed up by multiple uses of the word "behoove" after Hilda used it when introducing Link to the Sanctuary section of Lorule and Vinny found that oddly amusing as well.
69* From Vinny's streams of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime 3D'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask 3D'':
70** He often gives characters goofy voices and jokingly butchers the names of characters and locations within the games. For example, he gave the Gorons {{Simpleton Voice}}s and most of the Zoras (excluding King Zora and Princess Ruto) French accents during his ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' streams and referred to Dodongo's Cavern as "Bobongo's Cavern" and [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace "Bunghole's Cavern"]] during the same streams. He also referred to the Gorons as "Gobons" or "Bogons" (including referring to the Goron's Ruby as "Bogon's Booby", combining AlliterativeName with UnfortunateNames) during his streams of ''Majora's Mask 3D'' and sometimes during his streams of ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' (generally when using his Goron voice in both games' cases), while Dampé was generally called "Dampy" during streams of both games (with this nickname returning from Vinny's ''A Link Between Worlds'' streams). He also often intentionally botched the names of Gold Skulltulas, referring to them as "Gold Spatulas" among other names, with something similar to this happening in the '90s when he made a guide for the original ''Ocarina of Time'' that also intentionally botched names to mess with readers, with the guide saying where to find Gold Skulltulas and frequently referring to them by names like the ones he used in his streams of the 3DS version.
71** Vinny frequently compares the sounds the Lizalfos enemies make in both games to the sound made by turtles in a video of turtles mating (which he played the audio of during a stream of ''Majora's Mask 3D'').
72** A comment during the fourth ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' stream that Lord Jabu-Jabu's Belly contained what looked like either tofu or throat meat led to one viewer being unable to stop laughing at the phrase "throat meat" followed by more references to throat meat.
73** After the Deku Tree Sprout showed up after Vinny completed the Forest Temple in ''Ocarina of Time 3D'', people started to frequently joke that he wanted to commit genocide against humanity, with the phrase "purge the flesh" frequently showing up in fan art portraying him this way.
74** His ''Majora's Mask 3D'' streams saw him alternating between botching ocarina songs (not unlike Joel in his playthrough of the N64 version) and playing them using exactly the same meter as the game itself, as well as playing the regular Song of Time when he meant to play the Inverted Song of Time. He also frequently [[VisualInnuendo compared Like Likes to male sex toys]] and said that the Four Giants used them that way due to their size. He also often gave characters goofy voices when reading their dialogue, such as giving the Gorons {{Simpleton Voice}}s similar to the ones he used for his ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' streams, though he ended up giving giving most of the Zoras SurferDude accents instead of the French accents he used for his ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' streams (a couple of exceptions being Tijo and Toto, with the latter getting a Spanish accent instead).
75* During Vinny's ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3Mix'' streams, any references to the Creator/MikeMatei video that he found out about ''[=3Mix=]'' from feature him acting like he has no idea who Mike is, referring to him as "some guy named Mike Matinée".
76* Courtesy of John Fullsauce, official [=YouTube=] reuploads of Vinny's streams frequently insert Michael Scott somewhere in the thumbnail, owing to Vinny being a fan of ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' and referencing it on occasion. The tradition was initially kept to streams where Vinny references the show in depth, but it eventually morphed into John sticking Michael in the thumbnail from even the most tangential and offhanded mention of ''The Office'', and in some cases Michael's even in the thumbnail for streams where ''The Office'' isn't even alluded to at all, just for the hell of it.
77* [[LudicrousGibs PULPED]]/AWESOME[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zJk_txFGEc on old interview with Steve Papoutsis]], one of the directors behind the ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' series, in which he, while discussing the improved gore system in ''Dead Space 3'', [[InsistentTerminology repeatedly uses the term "pulped"]], along with copious amounts of TotallyRadical lingo like "awesome". This, combined with ''Dead Space 3''[='s=] less-than-stellar reception, let to this interview becoming a common source of mockery. Vinny, for his part, caught on to the meme, and now typically refers to LudicrousGibs as "pulp"/"pulpage"/"being pulped" (occasionally with TotallyRadical thrown in) whenever it occurs in a given game.[[/labelnote]]
78* "The snakes begin to laugh" [[labelnote:Explanation]]During one stream of ''VideoGame/AIDungeon2'', Vinny ended up in a conversation where he would ask a group of snakes a question, and they would always follow up their answer by laughing at him. It took off once Vinny started playing ''VideoGame/{{Spelunky}} 2''; the above line syncs perfectly with the first bar of the Level 1-1 theme, which led to chat, and eventually Vinny himself, singing the line in time with the music whenever it came up. Because of [[NintendoHard just how hard]] ''Spelunky 2'' is, combined with the typical abruptness of death in a roguelike, Vinny and/or the chat will often dejectedly/self-deprecatingly sing or reference the line whenever he dies and is sent back to 1-1, aided by the presence of actual snakes in World 1.[[/labelnote]]
79* "Commander Riker, I need you to kill me."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E16Ethics "Ethics"]], where Worf breaks his spine after a heavy barrel falls on him in the ''Enterprise'' storage bay. Being from an [[HonorBeforeReason honor-driven]] [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy warrior race]], Worf requests that Riker give him an honorable MercyKill, ashamed of his injury. It's supposed to be a tragic and emotional situation, but the [[SpecialEffectFailure obviously light weight]] of the barrel prop and [[StatusQuoIsGod anticlimactic episode resolution]] makes it a source of much mockery. Whenever anything related to the episode or even ''TNG'' in general comes up, there's a fair chance Vinny will quote the line, often corrupting it to the point of absurd MinorInjuryOverreaction on Worf's part.[[/labelnote]]
80* From his ''VideoGame/{{Rimworld}}'' streams, variants of "Just came back, how's my favorite [colonist or pet who died recently] doing?" are a common comment from the chat whenever a death occurs.

83[[folder:Joel Gags]]
84* Joel is pretty much guaranteed to call out the GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger trope whenever and wherever it happens by yelling "My finger points".
85* Joel is very fond of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fAYJ9icc1M Barbecue Shoes]]", a song performed by Blue House with the Rent to Own Horns as the theme song for ''BBQ Pit Boys'', a Website/YouTube channel about American food [[RealMenEatMeat barbecue cooking]] starring a comically hypermasculine middle-aged man from Texas. The theme was first discovered when Joel was streaming ''VideoGame/{{Raft}}'' and became a recurrent joke whenever he talks about USA in general. Unfortunately, the music is [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope actually claimable on YouTube]], leaving Joel to cut parts of the music (if used) when the streams are going uploaded to his Full Streams channel.
86* "Ooh-Wah-Ah-Ah-Ah" is a [[LaughingMad laughing]] excerpt from "Down with the Sickness" by Music/{{Disturbed}}. First heard on his [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]] 2018 streams, but not featured until the ''[[Creator/MicrosoftStudios Microsoft]]'' one, the quotation is generally used on endings of games when the final boss [[HappyEnding dies for good]].
87* Joel sometimes segways into saying "Aw, hell naw!" ("Oh, hell no" with a Texas/southern America accent), from the [[https://youtu.be/4rbolPDIy4s?t=132 "WORLD'S BEST Habanero Pepper Challenge" video]], which Joel credits in one of his ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' streams.
88* Any line from his 3D Movie Maker streams is eminently quotable. Amplified due to the fact that many scenes are repeated multiple times so that Joel can perfect it and fix issues, leading to the audience hearing some lines many, many times.
89** "HEY LUIGI, BOWL OF SPAGHETTI?"
90** "Just spaghetti on the rocks." (Noise that sounds in-between crying and laughing)
91** "Pasta la vista."
92** "HEY! WHAT THE BUP IS GOING O-"
93* Mr. Kill was an Internet naming, particularly used by [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd a Nerd]]. On Joel streams, Mr. Kill is used for nicknaming character(s) with [[AwesomeEgo badass aura]] on the streams. For [[YouDidntAsk some unknown reason]], Mr. Kill got his own ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j42u-8aT-xw official]]'' game. Not to be confused with a ''[[Film/KillBill Ms. Kill]].''
94* Joel is fond of frequently using "It's him!/That's the guy!/There he is!" and other such declarations to point out obscure characters [[SmallReferencePools as if they're popular]]; usually, not even Joel himself knows who said characters are, often playing them up just for laughs. According to Joel, the joke is based on a ''Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob'' sketch where the titular duo interview a Creator/StevenSpielberg impersonator as if he was the genuine article, albeit playing up one particular line in said sketch to a [[LargeHam hammy]] degree; in the original sketch, the line in question was stated in a more neutral, offhanded tone of voice. Joel explained that he [[https://youtu.be/L4-YwpvcBb4?t=2539 doesn't really know why he does this]] and dismisses it as just plain old immaturity.
95* Joel is fond of dropping the "Truly, we were a TitleDrop." meme in reaction to a CaptainObviousReveal or a plot revelation that he just finds cheesy and unable to take seriously.
96* Joel tends to reference "{{yaoi}} hands" (a meme within the larger anime/manga community that mocks the tendency for characters in male/male romance series to be depicted with exaggerated proportions, the most infamous of them being unnaturally large hands) when he sees hands on men whose fingers are [[CreepyLongFingers a bit on the long side]] e.g. some character models in ''VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven'' and ''VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarLostParadise''.
97* Joel parodies the "Mario, go fish!" "You go to Hell!" exchange (referencing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48U1cji0gVU this old]] YouTubePoop) in moments involving Mario, card games, or even fishing.
98* [[GoldFever "Iz gohld, I tell ya! Gohld!!"]] is Joel's go-to line whenever he's parodying a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents "cowboy" accent]].
99* Joel has a love-hate relationship with the German discount store chain [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidl Lidl]]. He admits he shops there a lot because the prices are good but he often mocks the store's weird knockoff or cheap products to the point where it's a RunningGag in his streams to call something bootlegged as the "Lidl version". Streams like ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons'', ''Planet Coaster'', and ''Sonic Forces'' has Joel making several jokes and references to Lidl.
100* Joel TemptingFate as he awaits the results of his antics.
101-->'''Joel:''' Will this look good? Or will this look--bad.
102* In Joel's ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' streams, his frequent botching of ocarina songs. Early on his obsession with the dog races was one as well.
103* Whenever Joel streams a sprite-edit ROM hack of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', expect him to pause at the end of the first castle level in preparation for whatever Bowser was changed to, usually saying "Will it be good? Or will it be..." Expect him to pause again when Bowser turns out to be nowhere near what he expected, most of the time finishing his sentence with "...bad." An unchanged Bowser sprite may lead to him anticipating whether the hacker at least changed Toad's text.
104* Joel repeatedly likes to call ''VideoGame/GodHand'' by [[GratuitousEnglish its Romanized name]].
105-->'''Joel''': ''GODDO HANDO!''
106* From Joel's ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' WAD contest:
107** His intense dislike of [[DemonicSpiders Arch-Viles]][[invoked]].
108** The "Blood Room", a particularly infamous location named for it's blood-like textures in one of the many {{Marathon Level}}s made for the 2016 event where the player has to {{Backtrack|ing}} to when the player hits a switch in order to access new locations. This has to be done many, ''many'' times, with switches at opposing ends of the map. The result of this experience became Joel using the term "Blood Room" to describe any ''Doom'' map that is unnecessarily tedious. He even [[ShoutOut mentions this very entry]] during the first stream for the 2017/2018 contest.
109* Joel is fond of a video of a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyCmnvBbm8Q raccoon eating grapes]].
110* From Joel's ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' streams:
111** He will usually make fun of Muk's name without saying it outright when either [[SdrawkcabName Ekans, Arbok]], Grimer, or Muk appears on the screen.
112--->'''Joel''': D-did you know that, M-Muk backwards is...''kobra''.
113** [[invoked]] Referring to the UrbanLegendOfZelda that pressing Up+B when trying to catch a Pokémon is ''scientifically proven'' to guarantee a successful capture.
114* The subtitles on Joel's videos tend to display "Joel.exe has stopped working" or "Joel.exe has lost shit.exe," basically a fancy way of saying that Joel has lost his shit for the latter, whenever Joel breaks into laughter that keeps him from playing the game, occasionally tacking on more of the Windows-associated baggage.
115* Ever the musician, Joel has taken to adding his own custom songs in the games he plays.
116* Usually when playing shoddy SurvivalHorror games, he makes a joke of how at the climax, they'll end up JumpingTheShark by [[EleventhHourSuperpower giving the player a gun]] before flashing "Objective: Kill!" He ''really'' wasn't impressed during his playthrough of ''O.V.N.I Abduction'' when they actually ''do'' give the player a shotgun without any irony whatsoever.

128* Rev's catchphrase of "Power move, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!" During [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNlJb6K3WoA one]] of Rev's (off-stream) ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'' videos, he brings up his idea of "power moves", that is, ways to show you're in control of a situation, such as throwing water in someone's face when they want an art discount, or [[ItMakesSenseInContext murdering them when they're telling you about debt problems]].
129* Rev has a tendency to take breaks to drink coffee while playing annoying sounds/songs, such as honking in ''VideoGame/DeathRoadToCanada'' or just the music of terrible Flash games.
130* Jen exclaiming "[[{{VideoGame/Overwatch}} Zen]] doesn't heal!" During an Overwatch session with her friends, Jen encountered a Zenyatta player who spent his time attacking enemy players and not healing his teammates with his Orb of Harmony. When she asked him why he isn't healing his teammates, the Zenyatta player responded with "Oh, Zen doesn't heal!", despite the fact that he ''can'' heal his teammates with the Orb of Harmony. This has since turned into a tongue-in-cheek joke whenever one of her teammates plays as Zenyatta.
131* Fred's ''Miitomo'' streams contained multiple instances of him complaining about the job he had at the time.
132-->'''Game''': "What would you like to get for your next birthday?"\
133'''Fred''': "A job I actually care about."
134* Hootey's playthrough of ''VideoGame/JediKnightIIJediOutcast'' with a particular sound mod on resulted in a memorable catchphrase. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYQlb2Y99GU Here's a small sample]]. It has since become his notification sound for new followers.
135* Limes's near-perfect [[Creator/LauraBailey Kid]] [[Anime/DragonBallZ Trunks]] impression.
136* Imakuni is a [[GenderBender little boy]]. As she's a WomanOfAThousandVoices can she make a very convincing, almost {{Creepy|Child}}, boy child voice.
137* Mike and chat going [[SarcasmMode "Y'know, for kids!"]] during the [[YoutubeKidsChannel finger family streams]] to take the piss out of the fact that these channels are [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids meant to be for children yet contain graphic and dark tones and subject matter.]]
