* EnsembleDarkhorse / GameMaster: Julia, who was involved as a writer on the Viceland series, then became both a writer and the regular moderator on the Showtime series. She holds her own with the dynamic duo pretty well (given that she's a comedian and comedy writer in her own right - her last appearance on the Viceland show had her proudly wearing a hoodie with the ''MTV's Wild'n' Out'' logo on it, a show she's a regular on), but is not above LampshadeHanging her whiteness and poking fun at the rumors that she's got a crush on Desus. (One purposefully-melodramatic promo for their Showtime show had her in a bridal gown, begging for Desus to tie the knot - "We're Julia and Desus - [[{{Portmanteau}} we're Jesus!]]").

In particular, he's very well-informed politically and will bluntly call people out for even innocently endorsing bad beliefs. One remote segment for the Showtime series had him and Mero finding out about the competition between Chick-fil-A and Popeye's regarding their chicken sandwiches. While doing their final interview, Desus monologues about Chick-fil-A's homophobic practices and ''smacks a chicken sandwich out of a woman's hand.'' Even Mero was pretty shocked.

* BerserkButton: If you come at them, you'd better have either a good reason or know what the fuck you're talking about. The two feuds they've had (DJ Akademiks and DJ Envy) both overwhelmingly swung in their favor just by virtue of them knowing how to dissect everything wrong with their opponent and his approach significantly more than vice versa. Even then, in neither case did they get incredibly heated, except...
** ...don't think you're being clever by purposefully mispronouncing their names. With Akademiks acting like he didn't know how to pronounce their names, they immediately ripped him a new one since their names aren't that hard. When Envy dubbed them "Dickhead and Pussy," they were more offended by the lack of cleverness in his choice of nicknames.
** Their love of New York and some of its particular sports teams (they rep especially hard for the Yankees and the Knicks) make them both especially harsh towards New York's biggest rivals in terms of sports prominence, most especially Boston-based teams like the Red Sox and the New England Patriots.
** Subverted in regards to them taking jabs at each other's respective heritages (Desus being Jamaican and Mero being Dominican). They can be pretty brutal towards each other (Desus mocking Dominicans for being lazy and uneducated and Mero taking great delight in putting on an exaggerated Jamaican accent), but they're as aware as anyone that it's all in good fun, and they make fun of their nationalism a lot.
