8	----
9	!! This show provides examples of:
10	* AdamWesting: Show producer Paul Feig plays an [[TheCaligula insane]], [[TheHedonist sexually]] [[BestialityIsDepraved deviant]] version of himself with [[TotallyRadical 'Nal Worms]].
11	* BetterByADifferentName: A man being arrested on ''Live PD'' looks at the camera and asks, "Why is there a camera? What is this, ''Series/{{Cops}}''?"
12	* BitingTheHandHumor: Toward Netflix. [Netflix chime plays]
13	* BlatantLies: {{Played for laughs}} when Joel says that the Vice series ''Fuck That’s Delicious'' is produced by the Children’s Television Workshop (the old name of [[Series/SesameStreet Sesame Workshop]]).
14	* {{Calvinball}}: Joel plays "Paddle Heads" against David Oyelowo. The rules aren't clear and David gets hurt, but Joel declares victory.
15	* CompensatingForSomething: "''Series/ForgedInFire'' is a blacksmithing-themed competition where contestants vie to create the biggest and deadliest sword. Its working title was ''Micropenis''."
16	* CreditsGag: The lyrics to the end song are rambling, meta observations on the show and song itself, and [[CouchGag change every few episodes]].
17	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The name of the show itself
18	* HughMann: Joel's interpretation of a pre-Oscars show presenter who has trouble with sunglasses.
19	* KidHasAPoint: A kid in a clip from ''Love After Lockup'', who keeps questioning his mother about marrying an ex-convict.
20	--> '''Mother''': He's been in prison for fifteen years, and you have to meet your stepdad.
21	--> '''Son''': Do we, though...?
22	* MixedMetaphor: In ''The Haves and Have-Nots'', a D.A. starts an interrogation with "I'm just curious why your mother would give you up to me like a tossed salad."
23	* MoodWhiplash: In a clip from ''Married With Secrets'', a man plays around with his girlfriend, then says, "I just wish I was dead."
24	* NonIndicativeName: Joel discusses a show called ''Warsaw Shore'' (one of the many {{foreign remake}}s of ''Series/JerseyShore'' made by Creator/{{MTV}}'s international branches), pointing out that Warsaw is several hundred miles from any shore.
25	* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Spoofed when Mankini returns as One-Piece Man.
26	-->'''Joel''': My God. This changes one thing.
27	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: "We did not edit this. This is how the show actually aired."
28	* OldShame: [[InvokedTrope For Joel]], ''Series/TheGreatIndoors''.
29	-->'''Billy Eichner''': If you can't make it on Yahoo, you're not going to make it on CBS.
30	** The E! network gets a title card resembling that of a B-movie monster.
31	* OncePerEpisode: Joel’s International Corner, a celebrity guest, a pre-taped sketch, and an appearance by Paul Feig.
32	* OverlyLongGag: A montage clips from Korean shows showing people getting hit by vehicles. "This may stop being funny a couple times, but don't worry, it circles back".
33	* RememberTheNewGuy: In the last episode of the original batch of 13, Joel announces that he's sending off on holiday his recurring characters... most of which, up to and including "Guy who Claims to Be Creator/SethRogen", had never actually appeared in the series before that point.
34	* RunningGag:
35	** Each time Joel introduces ''The Vanderpump Rules'', he gives it a new premise based on its name. This gag extends into a segment for another, completely unrelated reality show, which Joel inaccurately introduces by describing the actual ''Vanderpump'' premise.
36	** The Netflix chime playing or being hummed every time Netflix is named.
37	** Joel noting how racist the jingle for Joel's International Corner is (said jingle consisting essentially of a mishmash of a wide range of regional instruments, from bagpipes to didgeridoos).
38	* SoundtrackDissonance: Thanks to ''Wrestling/WWESmackdown's'' picture-in-picture commercial breaks, a State Farm commercial about a soup kitchen using a melancholy version of "Don't You Forget About Me" airs side-by-side with female wrestlers whaling on each other.
39	* SpiritualSuccessor: The show basically amounts to an edgier version of ''Series/TheSoup'' where Joel is allowed to show more violent clips, swear whenever he wants, and given a larger budget, but is still irreverent in a similar manner that The Soup was.
40	* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: A guy on the ''Series/TheBachelor'' who kisses a girl and says, "That makes me happy."
41	* ThatCameOutWrong: A girl on ''Vanderpump Rules'': "It just feels absolutely amazing to finally spread my legs and be the person I know I am, musically."
42	* TropeName: The news and sports segments are named, respectively, "News Segment" and "Sports Segment".
