Ready? Sego!
- Anvilicious: Parodied In-Universe; death 43 is an anvil in favor of net neutrality, and the death right after it is the viewer getting a literal anvil (with "NET NEUTRALITY IS GOOD!!!" written on it) dropped on their heads.
- Gone Horribly Right:
- One of the Running Gags of the video involves Breadstick the wizard creating overpowered enchanted items that usually end up killing him because they work too well.
- Death 5 has him swing a Fire Aspect 255 Sword at a zombie, causing the surrounding area to be set completely ablaze.
- Wearing an Aqua Affinity 255 helmet turns him into a fish and fed to a cat in Death 37.
- This is subverted in Death 47, where after using an Efficiency 255 pickaxe with no ill consequences (which he lampshades), a jealous try-hard comes and kills him for mining faster than him.
- SabrinaTheNewAgeWitch also returns with her similar gag, drinking overpowered potions that end up killing her.
- One of the Running Gags of the video involves Breadstick the wizard creating overpowered enchanted items that usually end up killing him because they work too well.
- Overly Long Gag: From Death 16 to Death 20, the gag plays out with a PUBG-esque sniper killing another player, saying "Looks like your med kits are mine now", before they themselves are shot by another sniper nearby, starting the Vicious Cycle over again. When we cut back to the snipers at Death 41, the screen is filled with title cards, showing how many players have died to this bit. The gag only stops when Redstone Ned comes up and says something different, breaking the loop. When he says he beat the system, the border shrinks on him and he dies.
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Death 6 plays this straight by having NonStJohn say "Rest in pieces, Casper" before deflecting a fireball back at a Ghast. However, the next time he does this, he ends up getting killed because the one liner was too long to avoid the fireball.
- Running Gag: A handful of them in this episode:
- Breadstick the Wizard making overpowered enchanted items that end up killing him.
- NonStJohn attempting to dodge Ghast fireballs and say cool one-liners.
- Brandon accidentally clicks on an online link that sends a missile at his house.
- Deaths relating to the very glitchy boat physics of pre 1.9, presented as a black and white cartoon.
- Screwed by the Lawyers: In-Universe: Deaths 38 and 48 occur when a YouTuber called KeiferMC tries to reupload the first video of the series and claim it as their own, before being squashed by a YouTube copyright claim.
- Take That!:
- Death 8 boils down to "Liking Jar Jar Binks". Uniquely, this is one both against his fans and haters. The fan is portrayed by Stu and the hater came in and killed him with a lightsaber simply because Stu stated that he found Jar Jar funny in his own home with no one else in sight.
- Deaths 38 and 48 are ones toward KeiferMC, a YouTuber that stole and uploaded Jake Eyes' video twice. Here he does the same thing and is crushed by a YouTube copyright page. The second time, the page states it's not even sorry.
- Death 39 in part 6 is a jab at long, unskippable YouTube ads (specifically League of Legends ones). For good measure, there's a quick jab at how the animators didn't even lip sync all of the character's syllables.
- Tele-Frag: Death 34 shows a player being cut in half after standing halfway through a Nether Portal.
- Too Dumb to Fool: In Death 50, SnakeTheJaik and Redstone Ned attempt to trick Stu into blowing himself up by summoning TNT using a command, but Stu keeps typing in the command wrong, causing it too fail. Eventually, Ned gets angry at Stu's idiocy and accidentally types in the command and blows himself up.
- Too Dumb to Live: Exaggerated and Turned Up to Eleven. Death 22 shows a player literally forget how to exist and disappear.
