Ready? Sego!
- A Boy and His X: Death 31 sees Jerkwad fall victim to BlondWolfGirl and her wolf pack.
- Awesome, but Impractical: In Death 22, when someone shouts about a horde of incoming creepers, Redstone Ned shows off his awesome T-N-T CAN-NON… before realizing that it can only shoot in one direction, leaving him at the mercy of the Creepers.
- Behind the Black: In Death 33, FirstGuy finishes his first house and walks inside of it, apparently not seeing the ton of creepers standing on the front of it and on top of the roof.
- Brick Joke: Death 14's continuity gets revisited in Death 37, with Captain Blockbeard, after his crew figures out he lost several pounds of gold he just got in a game of Mariáš, in which they retaliated by giving him a classic Execution Dock execution. Namely, putting his body in sand, only leaving his head out, and leaving him to drown from the high tide coming in, despite the captain believing he'll live because there aren't any rising tides in Minecraft.
- Failed a Spot Check: In Death 32, Redstone Ned attempts to troubleshoot the light switch...of a TNT warehouse. He realizes too late that he's about to power a TNT block.
- Gone Horribly Right: Death 29 has Jerkwad mining a diamond ore with a Fortune 255 pickaxe. The diamond ore block proceeds to create a large cube of diamond blocks that then crushes him.
- HA HA HA—No: An insurance representative gets a request to insure a TNT warehouse, which has already been the site of a few prior deaths. The insurance rep dies from laughing too hard and the request is not granted.
- Job-Stealing Robot: A man encounters one in Death 21, complete with the bot delivering him a pink slip. He tries getting back at it in Death 40 in trying to get a job fixing the robots...only to lose the job opportunity to a another robot as well.
- Laser-Guided Karma: In Death 31, when Jerkwad tries to steal diamonds from BlondWolfGirl, she punches him, which he laughs at, before her pack of pet wolves drop down and kill him.
- My God, What Have I Done?: In the trailer, jayRiott has this reaction when he sees skipping Part 4 is causing people to have destructive (and literal) Flame Wars over it. SnakeTheJaik thinks otherwise.Jay: "Skipping Part four was a terrible mistake."
Snake: "(laughing) Are you kidding? That was great. Let's see what they do if we skip all the way to Part 20."
Jay: "We have to fix this." - Not in Front of the Parrot!: Death 14 shows a pirate complaining about his captain in front of his parrot, which cause him to be forced to Walk the Plank. Later, the same situation happens, except the new captain (Stu) believes the parrot said it on its own and makes it walk the plank. (It just flies away, so it doesn't even count as a death.)
- Running Gag:
- A TNT warehouse blows up due to workers or random players lighting up the area or using redstone devices. It all comes back to a Brick Joke in Death 45, where the CEO of the company tries to get the building insured. The insurance worker (revealed to be Laughing Person) reacts to this request by laughing and dying.
- JumberLack trying to cut down different plants or trees, only to be killed for it. The most reoccurring plants of this gag are chorus trees that grow either gravel or creepers, which fall on him and kill him. In Death 39, he gets Stu to cut down a tree instead while he backs away to avoid anything falling on him. It doesn't work.
- Shout-Out:
- Deaths 15 and 16 are each references to two Nintendo franchises, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.
- Death 36 shows the Laughing Person die from hype after watching the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer.
- Death 42 shows the victim being crushed by a Tetris block.
- Super Gullible: Stu, as usual. In the final death of the video, titled "Gullibility", after somehow completely filling his inventory with Totems of Undying and surviving everything that Snake throws at him, he trades all of his totems for a single cookie.
- Take That!: After the two Nintendo-related deaths mentioned above, the following death calls out the company on their over-defensiveness of their IP, as it shows the video
being claimed by Nintendo for what the notice calls "a short-sighted money grab."
