** Anytime Jared reviews an RPG in which the plot is centered around collecting four elemental items, Jared, in the most deadpan voice possible, responds with "Gee, an epic RPG where I have to collect four treasures of the elements? I've never heard that one before." before holding up a copy of the original ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy''. Anytime he reviews an actual ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' game, this gag tends to end up being played with in some way.

* WebVideo/{{ProJared}}:
** Jared's [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness pre-2014 videos]] would always begin with a CouchGag of Jared playing the game he's reviewing, usually (but often with some variation) ending with him looking at the camera and saying "I'm playing [name of game]", his facial expression and/or tone usually indicating his feelings regarding the game. His review of ''VideoGame/VirtualHydlide'', the final video to use this gag, takes it to its logical conclusion, with Jared only being able to let out a pained groan in response to the game.

*** The gag is taken to its logical conclusion when he finally does review ''Final Fantasy'', with him beginning the gag before admitting "I don't know how to make this running gag work here."
*** His review of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' has him begin the gag as he discusses the four Light Crystals and four Dark Crystals, only to cut himself off as he then begins to explain the other four Light Crystals and four Dark Crystals on the moon, plus the crystal powering the party's ship that allows them to fly to the moon, making for a total of ''17 crystals''.
---->'''Jared:''' No running gag could have prepared me for this.
*** His review of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has him explain that the first major task the player is given is to collect elemental crystals, then pausing before saying "At least this game has six of them instead of four." with him skipping the gag entirely.
** Anytime Jared reviews a ''Final Fantasy'' game that features a [[SupportPartyMember Bard]] character or job, he'll begin listing out the abilities of the jobs in the game before ending it with "And Bards can get the fuck out of my party."
** Jared's fascination/fear of bees is often brought up, with games that feature them (almost always as enemies) having him have a FreakOut at the sight of them. This eventually led to him doing a TopTenList on the Top Ten Bees in Video Games, and is referenced by other [=YouTubers=] (such as WebVideo/{{PeanutButterGamer}}) when the topic of bees comes up.
** Anytime the game he's reviewing [[ArtisticLicensePhysics breaks physics]], Jared will respond with "Screw physics! because video games!"
** Whenever a game features a piece of nature (usually a [[WhenTreesAttack tree]]) as an enemy, Jared responds with "These (elements of nature) are trying to kill me... fuck you nature".
** In a case of an episode specific running gag, Jared's ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' review has him refer to every song he brings up as "the best song of the game."
** Another episode specific running gag comes from his review of ''VideoGame/TheBouncer'', where Jared finds various ways to refer to Sion as a [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] rip-off ("We have Sora at home", "dollar store Sora", etc.).[[note]]This is in spite of the fact that ''The Bouncer'' was released 2 years before the original ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts''.[[/note]]

* ''WebVideo/PiratesSMP'':
** The "land boat" phenomenon, where a creator-character accidentally places their (usually just purchased) boat either inland or on shore instead of in the ocean, often requiring admin assistance to move the boat back out to sea.
** For about the first two weeks of the SMP, the sloops each of the pirates have can somehow be occupied by mobs at the ship's wheel. This has mind-bogglingly led to many incidents of various mobs, especially ''flies'', stealing random players' boats and in at least one case, ''driving it around''. This has since been mitigated during the second boat upgrade, where the boats can be occupied by more than one person or mob at a time, though unwanted mobs can still be commonly seen occupying boat seats, with occasional hijacking still occurring due to misclicks.
