* FandomRivalry: There was a bit of discord when DP aired an ADoseofBuckley video. TJ said in kind of a sarcastic manner that he doesn't want any of Buckley's subcribers, that led to some problems since these ranty internet dudes tend to have overlapping fanbases. ADoseofBuckley usually avoids E-Drama, so him becoming a DP character is unlikely.

* AbortedArc: One segment that was featured in a couple early episodes was "Reenacting Rush", where Ben and TJ read from a transcript of Rush Limbaugh speaking with someone else. The segment was dropped, but Rush Limbaugh was still occasionally featured, and TJ even commented that they should bring the segment back.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: "The Holy Trinity Three-J", courtesy of [=PaulsEgo=].
* BerserkButton: Wrestling/JohnCena is one for Ben, and one that TJ (as well as Scotty whenever he's present) enjoys pressing simply to get on Ben's nerves.
* BigShutUp: During the rematch debate between the Drunken Peasants and the Brett Keane posse, Paul delivers a satisfying and well-deserved one towards [=NephilimFree=].
* CatchPhrase: [[Music/SnoopDogg "Smoke pan everyday!"]]
* CreepyDoll: The John Cena doll that TJ and Scotty got Ben on his birthday. It occasionally "substitutes" for Scotty whenever he isn't around.
* ClusterFBomb: "Fuck you, [[Series/RealTimeWithBillMaher Bill Maher]]! Fuck you, Bill Maher. FUCK YOU! Fuck your mother in her fuckin' asshole. Go fuck yourself! That cunt is a douchebag and I fuckin' hate him! He gets on his dumb-fuck show and talks shit like that all the time!" "FUCK YOOO! FUCK YOOO! Oh, FUCK YOOO! FUCK YOOO!"
* {{Corpsing}}: It's not uncommon for Ben to start cracking up, and can sometimes be heard moving away from his mic while bellowing with laughter.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Early episodes of the show lacked the TJ and Scotty cams and simply showed pictures related to the news stories instead of playing videos. After a short test video where the hosts tore apart a video from [=StateOfDaniel=], the video playing and cams were implemented with Episode 18.
* FalseConfession: TJ gives one for the Benghazi situation out of desire to see the issue put to rest.
-->'''TJ''': Just so this can fucking be put to an end, I take responsibility for Benghazi. I'm sorry. Yeah, I was behind it, so Rand Paul, you got me! You can lock me up, buddy. There, now the Benghazi situation has resolution, so come put the cuffs on me, buddy. I did it.
* GrandFinale: Episode 23, titled "The End of Brett Keane" and featuring [=PaulsEgo=], serves as this for the clash between Brett Keane and The Drunken Peasants, as well as his clash with [=TheAmazingAtheist=] and [=PaulsEgo=] that has lasted for several years.
-->'''TJ''': Ok, the reason that we've done this, this marathon review of everything that's happened since we got involved with these people, the BK Posse as I like to call them, is like, we wanted to show you guys that these people, like, since knowing us have destroyed themselves, and it's kinda beautiful, and it's kinda tragic, and it's kinda funny… but we're done with it. We did a show about Brett Keane so we would never have to fuckin' talk to him or address him again. So, you know what? Brett Keane can sit around making fucking videos against the Drunken Peasants and me and Ben and [=PaulsEgo=] and Dusty. He can make those fucking stupid videos until he's blue in the face… we're done. We wash our hands of Brett Keane. Short of Brett Keane, like, getting caught fucking raping a billy goat or something, we're not talking about him anymore.
--> '''Ben''': This is the last night we'll even acknowledge his existence unless, like TJ said, he rapes a billy goat or something.
--> '''TJ''': Or he might come up in conversation, we might mention him in passing or something, but we're never doing more shit with Brett Keane, short of him doing something that's just extraordinarily horrible that we can't possibly pass up the opportunity to talk about, failing that, we're done.
-->'''Paul''': So get to work. Find a billy goat, Brett.
* TheHerosBirthday: Episode 25 was a birthday special, temporarily changing the name of the show to "The Ben Show", changing the name of the TJ and Scotty cams to "Ben's Bitch #1" and "Ben's Bitch #2", and also featuring the hashtag [[EvilOverlord "BEN_FOR_OVERLORD"]]. TJ and Scotty also get Ben a present: a [[BerserkButton John Cena]] doll.
* {{Jerkass}}: The Drunken Peasants have stated that, during the call-in segments, callers will be subjected to harassment, though [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold said harassment is less out of malice and more out of simply joking around]].
** Arguably, the people that the Drunken Peasants respond to or debate with ([=TrueEmpiricism=] and [=NephilimFree=] being good examples) act more like Jerkasses than they do.
* JiggleShow: A viewer in the chatroom asked TJ to "jiggle your tits, please", with TJ responding appropriately.
* NoPronunciationGuide: John [[UnfortunateName Boehner's]] name is pronounced "Bay-ner". Ben insists on pronouncing it as it's spelled (i.e. "Bo-ner").
* RecurringCharacter: Scotty isn't present in every episode, but he's in enough that he can be considered an unofficial third host.
* RuleOfThree: The first Brett Keane video covered in Episode 23 simply had TJ's face on the screen. Thus, Ben thought it was appropriate to give the audience a "triple dose of TJ".
-->'''TJ''': I'm actually three places on the screen right now. I have the TJ cam, I'm on the Scotty cam, and I'm in the actual video, just in case one or two TJs wasn't enough.
* RunningGag: TJ and Scotty are all too happy to exploit Ben's BerserkButton for laughs, often bringing up John Cena out of nowhere.
** Whenever mocking someone in a news story, TJ will often speak in a stereotypical redneck accent.
** Ben employs a soundboard, with notable clips being the "Fuck you, Bill Maher" clip, as well as various quotes from ''Film/EdWood'' and ''Film/{{Casino}}''.
* SelfDeprecation: The hosts will often jokingly poke fun at themselves as much as they poke fun at each other.
* SensoryAbuse: TJ will sometimes blow into the mic for the sake of making loud noises, often to the chagrin of everyone else. In Episode 30, he did it to the point where Ben started to get noticeably pissed and told him to stop.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Brett Keane. He's one of the early atheist [=YouTubers=] from around 2006, and has the distinction of being the person who inspired TJ to make his [=TheAmazingAtheist=] account on the site. He has a well-deserved reputation for being a disingenuous liar, constantly flip-flopping between being an atheist and a christian, taking undeserved credit, and putting up his family as a shield against anyone who accuses him ("Stop attacking my family!"). He's also one of three people who Ben has said he'll never let back on the show (though that doesn't stop them from taking occasional jabs at him).
** To a lesser extent, there's G-Man, one of Brett Keane's "friends". His rap music videos have been featured and mocked on the show, and he was a part of the two religion debate videos between the Drunken Peasants and the Brett Keane posse. However, he's slightly more respected by the Drunken Peasants than Brett Keane.
** [=TrueEmpiricism=] and [=NephilimFree=], also friends of Brett Keane, and the other two people Ben mentioned as not allowed back on the show.
** Ryan Wiley, who was first featured on the show in Episode 31 via one of his videos criticizing [=JaclynGlenn=] (coincidently, on the same episode where Hugo and Jake of The Bible Reloaded first guest starred), is shaping up to be this as of Episode 34, where more of his videos were played, and he came onto the show to debate [=JaclynGlenn=] and TJ after responding live on Twitter.
* VitriolicBestBuds: The hosts. They're all just as likely to insult each other and make jokes at each other's expense (all in good spirit, of course) as they are to agree on the same topic.
* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: The show experiences its share of technical problems. Ben has stated that if they have trouble streaming on YouTube, they'll open a Google hangout and host the show there.
** Hilariously, a couple news stories covered on the show occasionally fell victim to this, complete with lampshade hanging from the hosts.

After a short test video where the hosts tore apart a video from [=StateOfDaniel=], the video playing and cams were implemented with Episode 18.
* FalseConfession: TJ gives one for the Benghazi situation out of desire to see the issue put to rest.
-->'''TJ''': Just so this can fucking be put to an end, I take responsibility for Benghazi. I'm sorry. Yeah, I was behind it, so Rand Paul, you got me! You can lock me up, buddy. There, now the Benghazi situation has resolution, so come put the cuffs on me, buddy. I did it.
* GrandFinale: Episode 23, titled "The End of Brett Keane" and featuring [=PaulsEgo=], serves as this for the clash between Brett Keane and The Drunken Peasants, as well as his clash with [=TheAmazingAtheist=] and [=PaulsEgo=] that has lasted for several years.
-->'''TJ''': Ok, the reason that we've done this, this marathon review of everything that's happened since we got involved with these people, the BK Posse as I like to call them, is like, we wanted to show you guys that these people, like, since knowing us have destroyed themselves, and it's kinda beautiful, and it's kinda tragic, and it's kinda funny… but we're done with it. We did a show about Brett Keane so we would never have to fuckin' talk to him or address him again. So, you know what? Brett Keane can sit around making fucking videos against the Drunken Peasants and me and Ben and [=PaulsEgo=] and Dusty. He can make those fucking stupid videos until he's blue in the face… we're done. We wash our hands of Brett Keane. Short of Brett Keane, like, getting caught fucking raping a billy goat or something, we're not talking about him anymore.
--> '''Ben''': This is the last night we'll even acknowledge his existence unless, like TJ said, he rapes a billy goat or something.
--> '''TJ''': Or he might come up in conversation, we might mention him in passing or something, but we're never doing more shit with Brett Keane, short of him doing something that's just extraordinarily horrible that we can't possibly pass up the opportunity to talk about, failing that, we're done.
-->'''Paul''': So get to work. Find a billy goat, Brett.
* TheHerosBirthday: Episode 25 was a birthday special, temporarily changing the name of the show to "The Ben Show", changing the name of the TJ and Scotty cams to "Ben's Bitch #1" and "Ben's Bitch #2", and also featuring the hashtag [[EvilOverlord "BEN_FOR_OVERLORD"]]. TJ and Scotty also get Ben a present: a [[BerserkButton John Cena]] doll.
* {{Jerkass}}: The Drunken Peasants have stated that, during the call-in segments, callers will be subjected to harassment, though [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold said harassment is less out of malice and more out of simply joking around]].
** Arguably, the people that the Drunken Peasants respond to or debate with ([=TrueEmpiricism=] and [=NephilimFree=] being good examples) act more like Jerkasses than they do.
* JiggleShow: A viewer in the chatroom asked TJ to "jiggle your tits, please", with TJ responding appropriately.
* NoPronunciationGuide: John [[UnfortunateName Boehner's]] name is pronounced "Bay-ner". Ben insists on pronouncing it as it's spelled (i.e. "Bo-ner").
* RecurringCharacter: Scotty isn't present in every episode, but he's in enough that he can be considered an unofficial third host.
* RuleOfThree: The first Brett Keane video covered in Episode 23 simply had TJ's face on the screen. Thus, Ben thought it was appropriate to give the audience a "triple dose of TJ".
-->'''TJ''': I'm actually three places on the screen right now. I have the TJ cam, I'm on the Scotty cam, and I'm in the actual video, just in case one or two TJs wasn't enough.
* RunningGag: TJ and Scotty are all too happy to exploit Ben's BerserkButton for laughs, often bringing up John Cena out of nowhere.
** Whenever mocking someone in a news story, TJ will often speak in a stereotypical redneck accent.
** Ben employs a soundboard, with notable clips being the "Fuck you, Bill Maher" clip, as well as various quotes from ''Film/EdWood'' and ''Film/{{Casino}}''.
* SelfDeprecation: The hosts will often jokingly poke fun at themselves as much as they poke fun at each other.
* SensoryAbuse: TJ will sometimes blow into the mic for the sake of making loud noises, often to the chagrin of everyone else. In Episode 30, he did it to the point where Ben started to get noticeably pissed and told him to stop.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Brett Keane. He's one of the early atheist [=YouTubers=] from around 2006, and has the distinction of being the person who inspired TJ to make his [=TheAmazingAtheist=] account on the site. He has a well-deserved reputation for being a disingenuous liar, constantly flip-flopping between being an atheist and a christian, taking undeserved credit, and putting up his family as a shield against anyone who accuses him ("Stop attacking my family!"). He's also one of three people who Ben has said he'll never let back on the show (though that doesn't stop them from taking occasional jabs at him).
** To a lesser extent, there's G-Man, one of Brett Keane's "friends". His rap music videos have been featured and mocked on the show, and he was a part of the two religion debate videos between the Drunken Peasants and the Brett Keane posse. However, he's slightly more respected by the Drunken Peasants than Brett Keane.
** [=TrueEmpiricism=] and [=NephilimFree=], also friends of Brett Keane, and the other two people Ben mentioned as not allowed back on the show.
** Ryan Wiley, who was first featured on the show in Episode 31 via one of his videos criticizing [=JaclynGlenn=] (coincidently, on the same episode where Hugo and Jake of The Bible Reloaded first guest starred), is shaping up to be this as of Episode 34, where more of his videos were played, and he came onto the show to debate [=JaclynGlenn=] and TJ after responding live on Twitter.
* VitriolicBestBuds: The hosts. They're all just as likely to insult each other and make jokes at each other's expense (all in good spirit, of course) as they are to agree on the same topic.
* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: The show experiences its share of technical problems. Ben has stated that if they have trouble streaming on YouTube, they'll open a Google hangout and host the show there.
** Hilariously, a couple news stories covered on the show occasionally fell victim to this, complete with lampshade hanging from the hosts.
