12''Sad Panda Q&A'' is a show hosted by former Website/ChannelAwesome contributors WebVideo/{{Welshy}} and Sad Panda. Despite the title, the series doesn't actually answer questions.
13
14Supposedly viewers can send Sad Panda questions, which are then asked by Welshy. While he tries to get Panda to give at least one straight answer every episode, he usually fails after being blocked out by assorted madness such as cameos, flashbacks, insulting Cferra, subtitles, warning signs, and commercial breaks. Needless to say it has a ''very light'' grasp on continuity and one certainly shouldn't go there hoping to learn something about Panda.
15
16The show was originally hosted by TGWTG, then returned for a single-episode second season on Phelous.com.

20
21%%* AbsurdityAscendant

24* BorrowedCatchPhrase: Panda tries to borrow WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's in episode 2. He nearly gets shot for it.
25%%* ButtMonkey:
26%%** Panda.
27%%** Cferra on occasion.
28* TheCameo: Lots of reviewers (both on and off the site) drop in to ask questions, comment, or just be plain weird.
29%%* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys:
30%%-->'''Smarty''': Panda, you stay here. And put that white flag down, dammit!

35%%* DeathIsDramatic: Smarty in the Franchise/{{Halo}} version of the show's origin story.
36%%* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
37%%-->'''Welshy''': The [[Series/DoctorWho crack]] seems to be linked to [=Magfest=]. Where there will be video games, booze, music, booze, and scantily clad women wearing very little.
38* DistractedByTheSexy: When Welshy regenerates as [[Creator/AllisonPregler ObscurusLupa]] in episode 10, Skitch has to try hard not to stare. And then in reverse as Panda regenerates as WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob and uses his sexy voice.
39* DoesNotLikeWomen: Panda believes women are hellspawn. When The Cat appeared on his show, he tried to shoo her away with a broom.
40%%* DramaticThunder: Starts off episode 6.
41%%* DrivenToSuicide: [[ItMakesSenseInContext A tree]].
42* EvilLaugh: Creator/ChaosD1 gives us a [[LargeHam powerful]] one in his first appearance.

47* HypocriticalHumor:
48-->'''Welshy''': Sorry. Sorry, sorry, but I just don't apologize.
49* InsultBackfire: In episode 6, Panda doesn't want to talk to Welshy, so he mutes him and plays the Franchise/PowerRangers theme with lyrics changed to "Welshy is a douche bag!". Welshy shrugs and dances along.

51%%* LargeHam: "I '''''beliiiiieeeeeve''''' in Panda Q&A!"

One RunningGag features English Subtitles making fun of Welshy and Panda, and usually have to be shooed off with a [[Series/DoctorWho Sonic Screwdriver]]. There was a also a Warning Sign claiming that the show was going to become more serious, but it was beaten up by Welshy. Then it held Panda hostage in episode 7, before Welshy shot it.
