  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Dad has a large following within the fandom. He eventually had an episode focusing on him attempting to do Ace and Chet's job, turning the show into "Computer Entertainment Related Programming".
  • Growing the Beard: While the first season was rough around the edges, the show really took off in quality after the release of their 5-part Gyromite episode.
  • Values Dissonance: The dream sequence during the "Punch Out!!" arc has Doc Louis ask for Ace's bike lock combination before he gives him advice on how to beat Von Kaiser. This references the heavily dated "***** stole my bike!" meme from 2002, which would not have gone over well had the episode came out today.
  • Vindicated by History: At the very least, how the crew feels about it. Fraser notes that they got mixed receptions, from people either hating it, others flip-flopping on it, and others "getting it" immediately. As time has gone on and fans have seen them out of character in Video Games Awesome!, the gang feels that people understand what they were going for and know "we're just dudes".
