* The sponsor plug for Nord VPN is done by through a Gmod animation depicting two thugs from Payday: The Heist failing to acquire someone's browser data because they're using Nord VPN. When one of the comments on how he loves Soundsmith and his [[OldShame Stereotypes]], the other ''immediately pulls out a shotgun and shoots them in the face''.

* Ethan talks about how the Backburner's main downside being the fact it can't airblast that much, which leads to a very funny historical gag:
-->'''Ethan:''' The only downside of the Backburner is that your airblast costs 150% more. In practical terms, this means that you only get as many airblasts as the years it took for the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Confederacy]] to get [[TakeThat completely steamrolled.]] ''(A screenshot of the Wikipedia page for the Confederacy appears on the screen showing it only lasted for 4 years, followed by a laughtrack with the mercs doing the Schadenfreude taunt with [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing "rip bozo"]] above them)''

** The Rescue Ranger segment is MoodWhiplash incarnate, starting out by listing off the weapon's meta-defining selling points that make it the top choice among legitimately-skilled Engineer players... and then quickly switching gears to mention that ''the exact same qualities'' make the Rescue Ranger the top choice among '''[[{{Noob}} unskilled]]''' Engineer players who desperately want to ''look'' like they're skilled and want gear that can compensate for their shortcomings without requiring much effort on their end.[[note]]In short, the Rescue Ranger would qualify as the weapon equivalent of a SkillGateCharacter or a CrutchCharacter if not for the fact that it's legitimately useful in high-level play.[[/note]] Bonus for this segment featuring Uncle Dane, one of the most prominent Engineer [=YouTubers=].

--> '''Sound''': If you're a real Mann Co. mercenary, you'll pick [whichever tactic] is more fun for you. ''[[{{Beat}} (Beat)]]'' YEAH JUST KIDDING a ''real'' Mann Co. mercenary only goes for ''butterknives''. Yeah, that's right, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]], we get the speed boost even if it's not a backstab, eat your heart out, Kunai. We're playing shitty Demoknight now. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

!! A Mann's Guide to the Backburner
* The intro is a homage to the iconic "Clever Girl" scene from ''Film/JurassicPark1993'', where a Sniper wielding a Huntsman is about to shoot at a Soldier and his pocket Medic, only to get ambushed by a Backburner Pyro. It's even funnier when you remember the fact that [=SoundSmith=] teased the next episode would be about the Huntsman, only to exploit "the unexpected" by having it be about a completely different weapon.
* Ethan runs into a Soldier who just dropped out of nowhere, leading to a [[CallBack familiar gag]]:
-->'''Ethan:''' Oh. Uhhh... Hey, uhh... You got something on your back there, you wanna turn around? I can get it for you.\\
'''Dungeon Master:''' Fine, roll a deception check, ''with'' disadvantage.\\
''(Two 20-sided dice are rolled, and both of them land on 20)''\\
'''Ethan:''' Okay so you're not gonna believe this!\\
''Dungeon Master:''' WHAT THE [[CurseCutShort FU]]--
* At the end of the video, Ethan decided to randomly switch to talking about the Frying Pan, even going as far as to make a "Mann's Guide to the Frying Pan" to be as unexpected as possible, only for KJ to pull the plug in the middle of his recording and to point out what he's doing isn't really "new" or "unexpected".
-->'''Ethan:''' Man, come on! I was just getting into it! Now I have to build all that momentum up again!\\
'''KJ:''' Look, I get where you're going, it's a solid idea; stupid, unexpected, funny, it's good. Follows a theme. But uhh, it's kind of the problem, right?\\
'''Ethan:''' What do you mean?\\
'''KJ:''' [[GenreSavvy This is what we do]] ''[[GenreSavvy every time]]:'' Starts as a tutorial, gets progressively dumber, and eventually it all goes to hell, and then it cuts to the studio, and we do an ending stinger. [[StrictlyFormula Same thing, every single time.]]
** This then prompts Ethan to think of something new and unexpected, "something no two mediocre men sitting in a room with reasonably good microphones have ever done before." SmashCut to them doing a podcast video, [[{{Irony}} which is the most predictable thing that most people have already done before]], complete with poor microphone quality, KJ just agreeing with everything Ethan says, and a few other [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Funny Background Events]], [[StylisticSuck all "animated" in Garry's Mod rather than Source Filmmaker.]]
