History RunningGag / Vinesauce

* The scariest and spookiest games all involve skeletons and/or run on old systems such as UsefulNotes/Atari2600.

* Vinny's "club cousin", who he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSNi5UbDU6A first spoke of]] during a stream of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime 3D''. He mentioned said cousin randomly showed up at his house wanting him to go to his club, with Vinny comparing his clubbing to Stefan from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. Vinny added that the club's name seems to change every time it's mentioned and both Vinny and fan artists frequently reference the incident with quotes along the lines of "You gotta come to my club. It's called ''[word]''." He also mentioned that this cousin also once called Vinny up while he was driving, and asked Vinny to go into business with him making custom Star Wars figures, resulting in "Custom made [''Franchise/StarWars'' character] figure" being another popular catchphrase.

* Vinny likes to attribute [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment particularly creepy]] corruptions to Satan. He also once considered attributing corrupted music to Music/NineInchNails, but it never caught on.

* Vinny, whenever he sees any control menu for any [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario game]], or characters typing or making use of their hands, will often quote ''Mario Teaches Typing'' to say "Get ready to move your pingorrrss!" with emphasis on the "pingors" pronunciation.

* Clowns are a big fascination of Vinny's and tend to come up in his streams a lot. He explains that his interest in clowns stemmed from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViKH-7jvxeY his childhood]], when his cousin tried to scare him with a comic depicting {{Monster Clown}}s invading his hometown when they were younger (with Vinny adding that he never really found clowns scary ''or'' funny). For example, in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS5bKYMhr7M played as]] a character named [[ADateWithRosiePalms Whacko]] the Clown), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLGS8wNLsYw shared a story]] about two strange clowns he saw in March. He also joked about obscuring the gameplay footage with a picture of a clown while streaming ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''. Two especially common clown-related gags of his:

* During an early 2019 stream, Vinny showed the chat a bizarre ([[Memes/AntMan1 and highly memetic]]) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpPx7E27Bc8 promo clip]] for 2015's ''Film/AntMan1'', featuring Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas slapping their chests and knees while Douglas yells "ANTS," interspersed with brief clips of ants. It wasn't until the stream of the ''WebAnimation/YouTubePoop'' generator program YTP+ (which took the clip from Vinny's collection of videos to make several mini-Poops) that the chat got attached to it and Vinny would frequently reference while doing a Michael Douglas impression whenever ants appear in his games.

* Joel parodies the "Mario, go fish!" "You go to Hell!" exchange (referencing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48U1cji0gVU this old]] WebAnimation/YouTubePoop) in moments involving Mario, card games, or even fishing.

* Joel parodies the "Mario, go fish!" "You go to Hell!" exchnage (referencing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48U1cji0gVU this old]] WebAnimation/YouTubePoop) in moments involving Mario, card games, or even fishing.

* Joel is fond of dropping the "Truly, we were a TitleDrop." meme in reaction to a CaptainObviousReveal or a plot revalation that he just finds cheesy and unable to take seriously.

* Rev has a tendency to take breaks to drink coffee while playing annoying sounds/songs, such as honking in VideoGame/DeathRoadToCanada or just the music of terrible Flash games.

* Vinny has a tendency to say "My passive proc'd" (or a variation of it) whenever he discovers [[GameBreakingBug any sort of bug]] in the games he plays, implying that the ability to inflict bugs on games is a real-life StatusAilment of his. Most of the time he says this, he's clipping through a wall.

* "TOOHOO". An intentional misspelling and mispronunciation of ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' done by Joel in several streams. Fans also give secondary misspellings, such as ''2hu'' and ''TUUHUU''. Vinny started using the mispronunciation as well after it started to bleed over, particularly when a large number of requests to play certain ''Touhou'' games started coming in. Having a number of badly made fan games showing up in Sunday Stream packs also helped.

* Vinny and Joel occasionally describe particularly bad or just plain weird "music" as "Human Music", with the implication being that only aliens could've produced that kind of music. Joel in particular likes pronouncing the phrase as "[[FunetikAksent HEWMAN MYUSIK]]", which [[https://youtu.be/e4t-n879e_0?t=10782 he says]] is him copying how [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration the Ferengi]] say the word "human".

* "I'm alive! I'm born! I'm free!"/"I'm your brother!"/"Put me back! I'M NOT DONE!", all quotes are from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qIyNIrUzVg "Super Mario Larva Bros."]], a video that was linked to Vinny early in 2019 because a lot of people in his viewer base thought Lumpy Touch's voice over for Mario and Luigi was provided by Vinny. Prone to quoting the video when playing Mario-related games, for obvious reasons.

* [[LudicrousGibs PULPED]]/AWESOME[[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zJk_txFGEc on old interview with Steve Papoutsis]], one of the directors behind the ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' series, in which he, while discussing the development of ''Dead Space 3'' (specifically the improved gore system), [[InsistentTerminology repeatedly uses the term "pulped"]], along with copious amounts of TotallyRadical lingo like "awesome". This, combined with ''Dead Space 3''[='s=] less-than-stellar reception, let to this interview becoming something akin to SnarkBait. Vinny, for his part, caught on to the meme, and now typically refers to LudicrousGibs as "pulp"/"pulpage"/"being pulped" (occasionally with TotallyRadical thrown in) whenever it occurs in a given game.[[/labelnote]]

* "The snakes begin to laugh~" [[labelnote:Explanation]]During one stream of ''VideoGame/AIDungeon2'', Vinny ended up in a conversation where he would ask a group of snakes a question, and they would always follow up their answer by laughing at him. It took off once Vinny started playing ''VideoGame/{{Spelunky}} 2''; the above line syncs perfectly with the first bar of the Level 1-1 theme, which led to chat, and eventually Vinny himself, singing the line in time with the music whenever it came up. Because of [[NintendoHard just how hard]] ''Spelunky 2'' is, combined with the soul-crushing typical of death in a roguelike, Vinny and/or the chat will often dejectedly/self-deprecatingly sing or reference the line whenever he dies and is sent back to 1-1. For the record, there ARE snakes on World 1, and their animations sometimes even sync up the music.[[/labelnote]]
* "Commander Riker, I need you to kill me."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E16Ethics "Ethics"]], where badass Klingon Worf has an [[SpecialEffectsFailure obviously-hollow and lightweight]] blue barrel fall off a twenty-foot-high shelf and strike him, apparently severing his spine and leaving him crippled. Being from an [[HonorBeforeReason honor-driven]] warrior race, Worf can't allow himself to live that way, and requests that Riker give him an honorable MercyKill. It's supposed to be a tragic and emotional situation, but the sheer SoBadItsGood comedy of the injury scene itself, how seriously everyone tries to take it despite that, and the fact that [[StatusQuoIsGod the problem is resolved in an extremely anticlimactic way in the end]] makes it a source of much mockery. Whenever ''Star Trek'', Klingons, Worf, or Riker are brought up, there's a fair chance Vinny will quote the line, often corrupting it to the point of absurd MinorInjuryOverreaction on Worf's part (e.g. "Commander Riker, I have broken my pinkie finger; I need you to obliterate every atom of my being from existence).[[/labelnote]]

* "GO TO THE BATHROOM! '''YOU[='=]RE SHITTING YOURSELF!!'''", from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQAfxgm3r0s "CRAZY PARENT FLIPS OUT AT SON"]], a rather notorious moment from one of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-8izW-Qh0bfRvEaA0pf_Zg creeperman90]][='=]s streams, which [=DesertP=] had [[SarcasmMode the good graces]] to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gor46CW6phk&t=695 link Vinny to]] during a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2'' stream (albeit with footage of ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' replacing the original ''VideoGame/MafiaIII'' footage). It was made even funnier by the stream going down a few minutes after playing the clip. Vinny even prefaced it saying that it [[BlatantLies definitely wouldn't become a meme]]. Naturally, he's started playing the clip when witnessing any situation that remotely resembles PottyEmergency or PottyFailure.
