1* ApprovalOfGod: Michael tweeted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khPiwFTekhQ a video]] someone did that used the heist scene from ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', but instead dubbed over the crooks' dialogue with that of the Fake AH Crew. The official Let's Play channel also commented on the video, calling it "Achievement Hunter approved".
2* BeamMeUpScotty: In the first video of their ''Criminal Masterminds'' series, Ryan says the trope name word for word while trying to get the Cargobob to pick him up.
3* ColbertBump: The popularity of the "Cops 'n Crooks" videos let to [[http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=cops%20n%20crooks a marked increase of interest]] in the ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'' online game mode in the months before ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV GTA V]]'''s release.
4* LyingCreator: Geoff does this with ''WebVideo/TenLittleRoosters'' in "Things We Played", off-handedly mentioning that [[spoiler:Ryan]] would be the one to die in Episode 6. [[spoiler:FakeOutFadeOut ensued there.]]
5* MissingEpisode: The "Haywood Chronicles" episode of "Sunday Driving" has been removed in light of Ryan's inappropriate behavior scandal and subsequent {{Unperson}}ing.
6* WeInterruptThisProgram:
7** The news of Creator/MontyOum's death on February 2, 2015 lead to it being the first Monday to not have a ''Let's Play Grand Theft Auto'' episode since the last ''Let's Play VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' video in August 2013, as well as the first Monday lost in the ''Let's Play Grand Theft Auto V'' era.
8** The Achievement Hunter team became so engrossed by ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' that they decided to dedicate an entire week to it on the week of September 7th, 2015, thus displacing all other Let's Plays except for ''Minecraft''.
9** They did it again on October 12, 2015, spending an episode playing ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront'' beta.
10** On October 6th, 2020, the news of Ryan Haywood's [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor controversy]] led to the entire crew taking a week off of recording to heal, which led to missing one episode being missed from a week. They would return the following week, but even then, it was a recording done months before.
11* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Given the Heists' [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption usual]] [[AnyoneCanDie demeanor,]] most of the plans had a lot of events and outcomes that ended up not happening. Examples Include:
12** (Geoff's) Heist: If [[spoiler:the police chopper didn't come in and cause everyone to scatter and panic, Michael, Ray, Jack, and Gavin]] would've tried to lose the cops and approach Mt. Chiliad. Meanwhile, if [[spoiler:Ryan hadn't killed Geoff,]] they would've found an escape vehicle on land and drive to Mt. Chiliad from there.
13** Gavin's Heist: If [[spoiler:Gavin hadn't rammed the firetruck in the gas station,]] the Fake AH Crew would've had to drive 4 other firetrucks around the gas station in order to pose as firemen spraying water everywhere, giving Michael a chance to rob the [[spoiler:store.]] Also, if everyone [[spoiler:except Geoff, hadn't died,]] they all (excluding Ryan) would've rode the RWBY jet skis to a specific spot where Ryan would've had a cargobob waiting to carry the jet skis to the top of the maze bank.
14** Ryan's Heist: If [[spoiler:Jack, Gavin, and Michael hadn't crashed,]] they would've been able to fly the armored truck to Ray, who would've been able to shoot the van, causing the money to fall down on him. [[spoiler:Michael and Gavin]] would've then had to parachute down next to Ray, where they would drive off of the building via motorcycles and a ramp. The team then would split up in the subway, allowing Ray to join with [[spoiler:Jack.]] The two teams would then meet up after the subway and steal from a [[spoiler:convenience store.]] Meanwhile, Ryan and Geoff would've met up at the RWBY jet skis and wait for everyone to finish robbing the [[spoiler:stores.]]
15** Michael's Heist: If the banks were open, Michael and Gavin would've been able to rob one instead of robbing a [[spoiler:convenience store,]] which they had to do instead. Another more minor example is that [[spoiler:Geoff and Kerry were meant to die via an explosive boat. Instead, they took the wrong boat, and [[SubvertedTrope Michael had to kill them himself.]] Aside from that, the heist went exactly as planned.]]
16*** [[spoiler:Ryan apparently realized that Michael planned to kill him and Ray off and planned to blow up their getaway vehicle himself just in case it was rigged to explode... which it was.]]
17** Jack's Heist: If [[spoiler:Ryan hadn't jumped out of the plane,]] the remaining survivors would've been able to fly to Fort Zancudo and receive jets. Also, if [[spoiler:Michael and Gavin didn't die]] everyone would've gone to the air strip, ending the heist.
18** Ray's Heist: If [[spoiler:Geoff and Gavin were able to get into the armored truck,]] the Crew would then lift the truck and a limo via a cargobob and put it on a train. The Crew would then rob the truck and take the limo all the way to the docks, where they would blow it up. They would then find a plane, and drive it to the top of the "Wrecking Ball" building, where they would then skydive off into different directions, ending the heist.
19** The Grand Heist: If [[spoiler:Gavin hadn't flown the Titan so high up, causing it to crash,]] the heist would've ended with the Crew on Mt. Chiliad.
20** The Prison Job: If [[spoiler:Geoff hadn't died,]] the Crew would've then drove off through the ocean, finishing the escape.
21*** If Ray hadn't gotten into the getaway boat, giving everyone else a five-star wanted level, they would have gotten away easily.
22** Lindsay's Heist: If [[spoiler:Michael hadn't fallen out of the train, and if Ryan hadn't jumped off to save him,]] the heist could've had a [[spoiler:no death run, since Ryan and Gavin died trying to save Michael. Aside from that, the heist was still very successful.]]
23** The Trojan Bar Heist: If [[spoiler:Michael had received a multi-seat seaplane, like he ordered, instead of the one-seater he got,]] the crew would have been able to flee the cops in Jack's and his planes.
