!!Side-Collabs
[[folder: Fortune Street]]
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** [[{{In-universe}} According to the Guys,]] Waluigi's true passion in life is running his high-end bridal shop on Yoshi's Island. This has expanded since then to Waluigi finding distinctive ways to run every business he gets his hands on.
** In Mario Stadium, Chugga claims that [[WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} Mr. Dink]] is actually a pedophile.
* AscendedExtra: FortuneStreet was planned to be just filler, but the Yoshi's Island videos became so popular that the Guys decided to make it a "side collab" and it got its own playlist.
* BadassBoast: Tim gets a good one in on the second playthrough after willingly landing on a space that closed all his shops. It helps that [[spoiler:he won on the first playthrough.]]
-->'''Chugga''': Why'd you close for the day? You could've gone to the arcade!\\
'''NCS''': Yeah, I could've.\\
'''Jon''': Or you could've gotten a suit.\\
'''NCS''': I'm just trying to go easy on you.\\
'''Chugga''': OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!\\
'''Jon''': What? WHAT?!\\
'''Chugga''': Damn, boy! Tim's got an ego [[spoiler:now that he's won!]]\\
'''NCS''': You can just call me Egoraptor.
* BeginnersLuck: Lucah, who's never played the game before, mentions trying to invoke this in The Observatory, [[spoiler:and does manage to finish in second]].
* BornLucky: Chugga's luck is discussed several times in Mario Stadium, particularly near the end when [[spoiler:a random event card drawn by Tim, which was to pay a 100 g flat rate, inadvertently secures Chugga's victory]].
* BriefAccentImitation: Jon's Waluigi voice, which sounds like a bad Mexican accent to Chugga.
* BrokenPedestal: (Jokingly) invoked by Chugga in The Observatory when he talks about how Jon inspired him to be an [=LPer=] and now they're VitriolicBestBuds. "Never meet your heroes!"
* ButtMonkey: ''Chugga'' on Yoshi's Island, whose game goes from bad to worse thanks to poor rolls, terrible luck, and both the game and other players making sure he never gets a foothold. He finished with less than a quarter of the goal worth, beaten handily by the weakest AI in the game.
** HoistByHisOwnPetard: His decision to pay 400G for an 80G shop in the sticks was what initially left him severely underfunded.
* CallBack: They compare the Slurpodrome minigame to "A Day at the Races" which plagued them in Mario Party 2.
* CharacterSelectForcing: A meta example: after Jon's take on Waluigi was such an unexpected hit in the first game, Chugga notes at the start of the Observatory that he's basically ''expected'' to reprise his role. This is somewhat confusing for Chugga, as he actually plays as Waluigi a fair amount offscreen, and gets confused about this early on.
* CurbStompBattle: Jon outright calls the Delfino Plaza board this, with Tim doing the curb-stomping. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope He's wrong.]]]]
-->'''Tim:''' ''(after getting 1500 coins in a minigame)'' If I lost this somehow, that would be the stupidest thing ever.
-->'''Jake:''' Well, you're sitting pretty.
-->'''Jon:''' Tim, that's what we call a curb-stomp victory...
-->[[spoiler:Jon later wins the board]]
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: On the Slimenia board, Jake accidentally buys a property from Tim for five times its value just because he was used to answering "yes" to all the prompts. [[spoiler: This arguably cost him the game.]]
* DarkHorseVictory: [[spoiler:Jon]] is in last place for the entire first half of [[spoiler:Delfino Plaza]]. He ends up winning.
* DesignatedVillain: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in the Observatory playthrough: "What evil thing has Waluigi ever done in a Mario game?" Everyone else's response?
-->'''Jon:''' He beat up Luigi in tennis.
-->'''Tim:''' Threw a shell at me in Mario Kart.
-->'''Jon:''' He hung out with Wario a bunch.
-->'''Lucahjin:''' [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers He has no butt.]]
* FanNickname: In the Mario Stadium playthrough, Jon (and eventually the others) refer to rolling a seven on the dice as 'rolling an H'.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Josh reacts this way a lot in Mario Stadium to things like the dice having a 7 and 8 on it and Jon 'crashing the stock market', partly because Josh hasn't played the game before.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: On Mario Stadium:
-->'''Chugga:''' "Jon always rolls ones, it's his thing."\\
'''Jon:''' *demonstrates this*
* ForegoneConclusion: Near the end of the Observatory, it becomes clear that [[spoiler:Jon is going to win]], so, in editing, Chugga just speeds up the video until the game is over.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: On the Yoshi's Island board, mention is made of a [[spoiler:'Mexican Penguin']], with Chugga adding that viewers "will know what that means in a few weeks." [[spoiler:This is Jon's character in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet''.]]
* ForWantOfANail:
** In Mario Stadium, [[spoiler:Chugga]] is all set to win, but has to [[spoiler:pass two of Jon's spaces that would cost him over 1000G on his way to the bank. He lands one space before the bank, on one of Jon's properties...but not before Tim randomly draws a card that changes all shop rates to a flat 100G for the turn, leaving him with enough money to win. Had Tim not drawn that card, Jon likely would have won, as he had enough money to do so and was already on his way to the bank, while Chugga would've had to do another lap around the board.]]
** [[spoiler: Jon's win]] in Slimenia. After collecting [[spoiler: a heart, his card lets him teleport anywhere, so he goes to the spade, since it was the only suit he didn't have, and draws another card. Said card lets him teleport to the bank at the cost of ''100 G'' and with all four suits in hand]], he instantly cashes the 10,000 G needed to win the game.
** In Delfino Plaza, if only [[spoiler:Tim had just bought that 510G property, Jon wouldn't have been able to make a huge comeback, and Tim]] very well could have won the board instead.
* HeroicBSOD: Jake has one after the complete gongshow that is "Delfino Plaza [Part 5]."
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: This trope ''seems'' to be in effect in the final part of Delfino Plaza, when [[spoiler:Tim (who has reached the target amount of net worth) uses his money lead to win both of Chugga's auctioned shops, which causes his funds to drop and thus allows Jon to win the board instead]]. However, it's really an [[AvertedTrope aversion]], since (had the later turns gone the same way) [[spoiler:Jon still would have won due to reaching the bank first, regardless of Tim's actions]].
* IncrediblyLamePun: Lucah steals Chugga's thunder with her "How many Mexicans does it take to change a lightbulb? ''Juan!''" joke, which causes him to high-five her.
* KingmakerScenario:
** Chugga realizes he has no hope of winning on the Yoshi's Island board, so he devotes his efforts into making sure Jon doesn't.
** On Mario Stadium, Josh does the same thing, [[spoiler:trading properties to give Jon a monopoly]] simply so that Chugga wouldn't win. [[spoiler: It fails due to Tim accidentally playing a big part in giving Chugga the win.]]
* MascotMook: Slime, who serves as the token COM player.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Discussed with respect to Jon's TRG persona in part 4 of The Observatory.
* NamesTheSame: According to the guys' cheering at the Yoshi's Island Slurpodrome, all the slimes are named Slime.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In Delfino Plaza, [[spoiler:NCS gets a big lead and has a good chance of winning the board, so he decides to go easy on Jon by not buying the 510G property in District D. Jon later buys the property, which ends up allowing him to beat NCS and win the board]].
* NoodleIncident: Jon mentions that he apparently had a bad experience with a girl he dated who liked wearing maid outfits. It sounds funny on paper, but from Jon's tone and refusal to elaborate, it obviously wasn't as funny as it seems.
* NumberOfTheBeast: Jake invests in a scrap metal shop in "Delfino Plaza [Part 6]," bringing it to 666G: The Scrap Metal Shop of the Beast.
* OhCrap: Chugga's reaction in Delfino Plaza [Episode 3] upon [[spoiler: rolling a 3 and landing on Tim's 556 G property.]]
--> '''Chuggaa:''' Watch it pause the game until he reconn-*realizes what happened* -EEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCTTTTTSSSSS!!!
--> '''Jon and Jake:''' *synchronized slow clapping*
* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler: Jon States that he thinks that Slimenia is this to him, as it was a close game between him and Jake for most of the end game... and then he got two cards in a row that won him the board instantly, making the victory feel very unearned.]]
* RoleAssociation: In The Observatory, Chugga laments that Jon's interpretation of Waluigi has become so popular with the fans that now Chugga himself won't be allowed to play as Waluigi when they play the later Mario Party games.
** After playing three boards as Bowser Jr, Chugga switches to Donkey Kong, his PlayerCharacter from the first three ''Mario Party'' games.
* SadisticChoice: In Delfino Plaza, at one point Jake lands on a cannon and has to shoot to one of the three other players' locations. All three of them are in 'the Ring of Death' as Chugga dubs it, surrounded by massively expensive shops.
* {{Spoonerism}}: In part 3 of Mario Stadium, Chugga turns "There goes the shop Josh wanted" into "There goes the shosh Jop wanted".
* StayInTheKitchen: Jokes about this in The Observatory due to the fact that Lucah actually had been cleaning Chugga's kitchen.
* TemptingFate:
** An epic example at the end of Part 4 of The Observatory. Jon invests a large sum in improving a store that Tim is 1 away from, then Tim gets a card that increases the prices on every store for one turn by 30%. Chugga points out "if Tim gets a one"... [[spoiler:He does]].
** This becomes something of a RunningGag, with Delfino Plaza for instance having two examples ''in a row'' of Guys rolling a 1 onto an expensive property after it's pointed out that they're 1 away.
*** In Part 6, Chuggaa states, "Don't give me a 1". He rolls the 1, [[spoiler: and lands on Tim's 1303 G property, giving Tim the amount of money he needs to go to the bank and win the board.]]
** In Delfino Plaza, when Tim gets a Round the Blocks minigame, Jon jokingly says something about him getting triple 7s, and Chugga adds that he's never seen it happen... right before Tim gets a line of them, causing Chugga to cut himself off to scream.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** [[spoiler:Tim finally wins a board game (Yoshi's Island) for the first time in over a year.]]
** [[spoiler:After some pretty bad luck on the first two boards, Chugga finally wins Mario Stadium.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: Happens to Chugga, but he doesn't let it bother him...until it happens again in the Observatory board. [[{{Understatement}} It bothers him.]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Waluigi's distinctive accent, as provided by Jon. It actually gets worse as the game progresses.
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg-_NKS-9Y0 Waluigi is whatever he wants to be! Waluigi is every ethnicity!]]"
* WorthyOpponent: Chugga for Jon at the very end of Mario Stadium.

!!Tournaments
[[folder: Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
* AntiClimax: The final battle ends with [[spoiler:SKA killing himself via falling off the stage. ''Twice'']].
* ApologeticAttacker: Jon apologises to Donnabellez before their battle, since she hadn't played the game in a long time and he had a big advantage over her.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: SuperJeenius' nickname during the tournament is ύÓÌÇÈ. He says this is because he had nothing else to put in there.
* BattleCry: According to the finale, Jon's is "I'm going to bed".
* BigNo: Donnabellez lets one off when she loses her final stock in her first match.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:The first and last battles of the tournament involve LetsPlay/ProtonJon winning. If you don't count the preliminaries as an actual episode, then the first and last matches are also a CurbStompBattle.]]
* ButtMonkey: Donnabellez is the first to lose two matches and be eliminated from the tournament. The first match is a CurbStompBattle, and the second match has her being killed in Sudden Death by Tim.
** [=JoshJepson=] as well, getting beaten in the preliminaries by Jon and in the first loser's bracket round by Chugga, with neither of them breaking a sweat.
* CrisisCrossover: Of Let's Players.
* EndingFatigue: InUniverse, the tournament starts to wear on some of the players, for going late into the night.
* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: Jon reacts this way when Chugga starts wondering if LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} is basically the God of Let's Playing and Diabetus is Jesus. (For that matter, so does Diabetus, who is ''clearly'' uncomfortable with the BlasphemousPraise..)
* ForegoneConclusion: LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} says her loss to Jon was this, since Jon is a pro at the game and she hadn't played it in a long time.
** [[spoiler:Jon being the winner was probably predictable, but not guaranteed. However, given that he still could lose twice by the time of the final match and the video didn't have enough time for one more match, it was no secret that he'd beat his final opponent]].
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: For the players but unseen by the viewers; during the final match, Chugga, who is remaining quiet due to not being involved in the fight, apparently starts dancing.
** One of these gets Diabetus's attention throughout a match -- the Polar Bear on the Ice Climbers stage.
* {{Irony}}: Tim, who normally is Yoshi, plays as Diddy Kong, while Donnabellez plays as Yoshi instead. Later, Tim fights Donna, meaning he's basically fighting his usual main. [[spoiler:He wins, too]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: Jon dies almost instantly after noticing he had 69 damage and commenting on it.
* LikeAGodToMe: Chugga refers to LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} as the God of Let's Players (as he created the genre) and then wonders whether that would make Diabetus Jesus, an archangel, or the Voice of God.
* OutOfFocus: Due to the way it works, each of the main three Guys has least one video where they're either absent or not saying anything at all.
* PreMortemOneLiner: A couple:
--> '''[=SuperJeenius=]''': (to Chugga) Goodbye. Nice knowing you.
--> '''Chugga''': (to Josh) FIRE YUMS, BALLS!
--> ''(Chugga kills SuperJeenius with a flaming soccer ball)''
* RunningGag: Take a drink everytime [[VideoGame/MOTHER3 Lucas]] uses his [[LimitBreak Final Smash]]. It doesn't help that there were two in the tourney.
** Also, every time NCS is MC, the tournament gets a new name.
* TemptingFate: Lucahjin comments how she is "going to die in two seconds" at the start of her first match. She then almost instantly falls off the stage and dies.
* TookALevelInBadass: Tim's skill in fighting has increased since Subspace Emissary, as shown in his fight with Donnabellez. Inverted, as the tournament was recorded ''before'' Subspace Emissary.
* WorthyOpponent: Jon considers [=ALoyalGamer=] and [=SuperJeenius=] to be this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mario Power Tennis]]
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Jonny Paula makes a joking accusation towards LetsPlay/ProtonJon of this:
--> '''JP''': [[SarcasmMode That's a cheap shot! Proton Jon cheats!]]
--> '''Jon''': [[ThrowItIn I do cheat, actually.]] But no one's ever caught me. Until now. How dare you ruin my...
--> '''JP''': No one's ever caught you? What about YourMom that one time in your bedroom?
--> '''Jon''': [[NoodleIncident Uh... we don't talk about that anymore.]]
* AntiClimax: Jon Paula was likely the guest most fans were excited about... and he's the first one knocked out, beaten by LetsPlay/ProtonJon in the very first match. Since this is single elimination and not double, that means he was out of the tournament less than five minutes in.
* AscendedMeme: Tim randomly came up with the name 'invitational tournament' in the ''Brawl'' tournament; for this one, everyone uses the phrase.
* BriefAccentImitation: Chugga attempts to do an impression of Tim, but (in his words) ends up sounding like [[DrillSergeantNasty a drill sergeant]] instead. He then attempts another voice and ends up as [[CallBack Mmaxie from]] [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Teamm Mmagmma]]!
** LetsPlay/JoshJepson also attempts a voice but ends up (according to LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}}) sounding like LetsPlay/{{Pcull44444}}.
* CurbStompBattle: There were a few one-sided matches. However, [[spoiler:Chugga to [=ProtonJon=]]] takes the cake, as the latter is the only receiver who didn't score!
* OneSteveLimit: The first game is a match between [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Jon]] and [[IsItAGoodIdeaToMicrowaveThis Jon]]. They spend several minutes discussing how not to get them confused.
--> '''(Proton) Jon:''' It's JP versus PJ. It's [[CoolVsAwesome Jurassic Park versus pajamas.]]
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: It's the last game the Guys are doing in a row that is a Mario game (or has Mario as a major character), and instead of being a regular LetsPlay, it's a tournament.
** And, in a case of the ''first'' of these not being like the others, the very first person to play (Johnny Paula) is not known for gaming, but for WebVideo/IsItAGoodIdeaToMicrowaveThis.
** Also, [[spoiler:all of Chugga's matches are curbstomps in his favour, except the last one -- he still wins, but it's actually a close match]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Smash 64 Tournament]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Chugga acts as the announcer for the Josh vs. Tucans fight, and comes across as sensible and restrained next to [[AdultChild Tucans]]...
* BackFromTheBrink: Happens several times, including [[spoiler:LetsPlay/JoshJepson versus SuperJeenius]].
* BadImpressionists: LetsPlay/AttackingTucans' attempt at doing LetsPlay/ProtonJon's voice for some reason includes a CampGay-style lisp, which Jon calls him out on.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: When Stephen and Mal of LetsPlay/StephenPlays face each other in the loser's bracket:
--> '''Chugga:''' "Hello and welcome to Stephen & Mal Play Smash 64. My name is not Stephen Georg, but I do play video games."
** Later Stephen himself says it, and Chugga comments "[[CaptainObvious He's playing a video game right now!]]"
* CallBack: When SuperJeenius appears, he introduces himself as "ùÓÌÇÈ", the screen name he was using in the previous Smash Bros tournament.
** When NCS introduces Tyson from [[LetsPlay/WiiRikeToPray WRTP]], he makes an "I'll take Tyson" reference.
** In the Brawl tournament, there was a running joke that every time NCS introduced a round, the title of the tournament got longer. This time, NCS comments that every time he does it the title seems to get ''shorter''.
* TheCaptain: Apparently Chugga was responsible for organising the tournament, and several of the guests refer to him as "Our Director".
* CherryTapping: [[spoiler:SuperJeenius kills LetsPlay/JoshJepson and wins the match by throwing a Pokeball at him]]. This leads to jokes in the comments that [[spoiler:Jeenius caught Josh like a Pokémon]].
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Lampshaded aversion when NCS (Yoshi) fights Donnabellez (Kirby) but both of them choose yellow as their character's colour.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Lucah vs. Rodri. It helps that Lucah has [[https://twitter.com/Lucahjin/status/300447366635462656 stated]] that she didn't grow up with an N64, so it was only natural that she'd suck at Smash 64.
** Josh vs. Tucans. Tucans has never played the game before and chooses Link, widely considered one of the weakest characters in SSB. [[spoiler:He wins, retaining all three of his stocks and ending with 0% damage.]]
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Several players suffer from being used to having the air-dodging from ''Brawl'', which doesn't exist in this game.
* DesignatedGirlFight: Jon jokes about this when he commentates for Lucahjin vs. Donnabellez.
* ExiledToTheCouch: Chugga (and Stephen himself) joke about this when Stephen defeats his wife Mal in a match.
* FirstNameBasis: At one point, Jon refers to Captain Falcon as "Douglas".
* HypocriticalHumour: LetsPlay/AttackingTucans pretending to be offended when LetsPlay/StephenPlays says he was 'touching Link's butt' with the cursor in the pre-game screen.
* InJoke: During LetsPlay/JoshJepson vs. SuperJeenius, Jon complains that all the humour in the tournament so far is based on in-jokes that nobody will get.
* InSeriesNickname: When Donna fights Lucah after both have had a few drinks, they refer to themselves as "Drunkabellez and Lucah-gin and tonic".
** In the same match, Jon (the announcer) mentions how he's coined the {{neologism}} {{portmanteau}} "Let's Play-dies" for female Let's Players.
* NamesTheSame: The tournament includes both Tyler "LetsPlay/AttackingTucans" Sederwall and Tyler from [[LetsPlay/WiiRikeToPray WRTP]].
** What really enrages Pcull when NCS accidentally reveals his real name (Patrick Cullen) is Jon pointing out that now people will start doing {{Twilight}} references.
* PaletteSwap: Jon plays as Mario, but changes his colour scheme to that of Wario (who's not in this game) and does a Wario voiceover.
* PunctuatedPounding: Jon against LetsPlay/PCull44444, using a ray gun to push him past the edge of the stage.
-->'''Jon:''' You. Are. Dead. To. Me. Patrick. Cullen. [[OverlyLongGag Also. Known as. PCull...]]
* RunningGag: In the random stage selection, the Pokemon stage showing up absurdly often, usually pointed out by Chugga. In the finale, Tim even compares it to "Day at the Races" from their Mario Party 2 LP.
* SeinfeldianConversation: SuperJeenius and Tyler from [[LetsPlay/WiiRikeToPray WRTP]] have one about pi in their battle.
* ThisExplainsSoMuch: Donnabellez and Lucahjin explain that they had a few drinks prior to their match, with Jon (and the audience) replying with this reaction.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[CallBack Once again]], NCS goes up against LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}}, but both of them play far more competently this time.
** NCS in general. He managed to put up a decent fight against Rodri and was doing very well, seemingly only losing due to Rodri managing to pick up two hammers and two Heart Containers (even Rodri admits he won due to items).
* VitriolicBestBuds: LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} and LetsPlay/AttackingTucans, to an extent that rather shocks Jon (acting as the announcer) when Tucans yells "DUMB BITCH!" at Donna (as he does regularly in their co-ops, and she returns in kind).

* ButtonMashing: The clacking of control sticks sometimes threatens to drown out the commentary.
* CallBack: Team Beard Willis is a reference to The Completionist's GunstarHeroes review, in which Jon, his teammate, guest starred. They also played through the game on Jon's channel.
* CaptainObvious: When Chugga or Jon asks some of the first-time guests what they do on their channels, more than one person replies with something like "I do Let's Plays" or "I play video games".
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Several guests suffer from this due to being used to the controls from ''Mario Kart Wii'' or ''Mario Kart 7''.
* EvilLaugh: Chugga lets loose one [[spoiler: when he reveals that the tournament is not over after the finals.]] Jon, [[DeadpanSnarker in true Jon fashion]], tells him that it wasn't necessary.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: On [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QyPG1_e2Hk&t=15m34s Josh Jepson's vlog]], a scene was shown where the teams, who are not playing, are sitting in the hallway outside of the room talking. One of them says "You promise this is ''Mario Kart: Double Dash''." Additionally, you can see everyone's reaction to {{Lucahjin}} and [[WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue Dodger]] screaming in the Qualifying Round.
* NonindicativeName: Neither of the Koopa Krew team play as Koopas in their first or final appearance (confusing Jon the announcer in the latter case, as the opposing team [[spoiler:Purple Pwniez]] ''are'' playing as Koopas).
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Slowbeef constantly acts like he has no idea what he's doing.
* RunningGag: Every time a coin is tossed to decide who goes first, tails seems to come up. "[[CatchPhrase Tails Never Fails!]]"
** Heads finally comes up once in one of the later rounds, prompting Chugga to joke "It's not Tails - it's Sonic!"
** Jon even lampshades this in the finale, with the coin only having come up heads ''once'' in the whole tournament, suggesting it's a weighted coin.
* TakeAThirdOption: When [=ShadowMarioXLI=] is asked to call heads or tails, he says "Both!"
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler:The Koopa Krew]] wins the final race in the tournament against [[spoiler:the Purple Pwniez]] on [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Rainbow Road]], [[spoiler:only for Chugga to declare that there isn't a winner yet because [[FightingYourFriend there can't be two]].]]

* AnnouncerChatter: During the one-on-one fights, the third Guy commentates.
* ApologeticAttacker: Jon apologises to Tim when he stops joking around and [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]].
* CallBack: To Mario Party, when Jon yells "GET OFF MY PLANE!"
* CurbStompBattle: Chugga vs. Tim. To Jon and Chugga's surprise, this is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when Tim is able to hold his own against Jon for a while.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Several instances of the Guys attributing ''Brawl'' mechanics to the original VideoGame/SuperSmashBros, such as forgetting that air-dodging didn't exist yet and that Yoshi's egg toss did not propel it upward.
** Jon has to learn to use a Wii Classic Controller while playing the final match.
* IncrediblyLongNote: Tim shouting "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rsb4UkEhrE&t=255s Let's get ready to RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!]]" and holding it for ''ten whole seconds''. Chugga and Jon are amazed.
-->'''Chugga:''' What else can you do, Tim?
* MadLibsCatchphrase: FALCON ________!
* NoodleIncident: A weird one occurs during the Chugga/Jon battle with Tim as announcer.
-->'''Tim:''' That reminds me of a comment I left on a video.
-->'''Jon:''' [[NoJustNoReaction No, just no]].
-->*Chugga starts laughing*
* RealMenWearPink: Jon uses "Valentine's Day" Falcon.
!!!Mario Kart 64
* AmbiguouslyGay: Jon starts to think this of Chugga when his constant cries of "SUCK IT!" take an even more awkward turn:
--> '''Chugga''': ''*about to ram into Jon with his kart and defeat him* "SUCK IT!" *misses* "AGH! Dang it! I almost made him suck-" *dissolves into laughter*''
--> '''Jon''': ''"Would you stop saying 'suck'?!"''
--> '''Chugga''': ''"I didn't mean to say it..."''
--> '''Jon''': ''"I'm ''really'' starting to wonder what your sexual preference is!"''
* CallBack: Quite a few. Among them were "I'm witnessing something", "Press L to P", and their "thing" conversation.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Apparently, the original take had Jon winning ''every battle.'' Even for him, that is impressive. That recording was lost and we never got to see it.
** Another offscreen moment that may also double as a moment of funny is when Tim was so excited he yelled "YES!" so loud it [[NoIndoorVoice reached Chugga levels.]] Considering who he [[TheQuietOne usually is]], this is pretty cool. Fortunately, they managed to recover at least that audio portion and play it for us. [[spoiler:He then later does a slightly quieter one when he wins on Rainbow Road.]]
!!!Wii Sports
* CurbStompBattle: Jon vs. Tim, in Boxing. [[spoiler:Jon managed to knock out Tim in 12 seconds.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Their Miis are given nicknames based on the way they look: Smug Man (Jon), Dipped Nose (Tim), and Generic Face (Chugga).
* OnlySaneMan: Chugga tries to invoke this at the end of the recording, and is immediately called out on it by Tim and Jon.
--> '''Chugga''': They're not listening, I'm the only sane one here.
--> '''Jon''': You wish!
--> '''Tim''': Shut up!
!!!New Super Mario Bros. 2
* ViralMarketing: [[http://youtu.be/-4IBW6ETPbo&t=44m22s According to Jon]] in a [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} Retsutalk]] video, Nintendo actually contacted the guys to get them to promote [=NSMB2=], and even gave them prizes to give out.
!!!Burnout Revenge
* AccidentalMisnaming: Apparently Chugga once misremembered Lucah's real name as "Hershey" rather than "Reese", having only vaguely remembered that it had [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reese%27s_Pieces something to do]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hershey_Bar with chocolate]].
* AmbiguousGender: As there are two female guests, Chugga and Lucah suggest it should be boys vs. girls...only for Tim to point out that given "[[NeverLiveItDown Tim, his wife!]]" he's not sure what team he should be on.
* CallBack: Jon gets in some "FOOTBALL!" references from his ''ResidentEvil5'' co-op with SuperJeenius.
* {{Eagleland}}: As usual, Chugga tries to use 'I'm an American!' as an excuse for bad driving or impatience, only for Jon to point out that [[AnalogyBackfire he (Jon) is the only one there who ISN'T American]].
* GoldenSnitch: Subverted with the final stage - it has a much larger possible score than the other two, but [[spoiler:everyone gets large but relatively close scores, so it comes down to their performance in the previous two stages]].
* RunningGag: ''Everyone'' using the same vehicle in the first stage, copying Jon, even though he only picked that one as a joke. {{Lucahjin}} breaks the pattern...[[spoiler:and promptly misses the collision altogether]].
* TemptingFate: Averted for once in a Runaway Guys video. [[spoiler:After a previous EpicFail, Lucah constantly talks about how she's going to fall off the bridge in the third stage, only to get the second highest score]].
* WomenDrivers: Joked about by {{Lucahjin}} in an NWordPrivileges fashion.
!!!Wii Play
* BackFromTheBrink: [[spoiler:Tim]] beats [[spoiler:Chugga]] in the shooting gallery game after being behind for most of it.
* BrickJoke: After Jon's FelonyMisdemeanor disappointment at ''WiiParty'' never giving him the Captain Falcon Mii, he now gets to play as that Mii.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] (and pointed out) -- Chugga and Jon use each other's colors, which leads to some confusion.
* NoJustNoReaction: Jon's reaction to Chugga calling Captain Falcon "the original brony" (a reference to the ''Wii Party'' LP, where Captain Falcon and Mr. Ed were paired together in Friend Connection.)
* ReadTheFreakingManual: As in ''Mario Party 3'', Tim compares Chugga and Jon to the WebVideo/GameGrumps when they struggle in a game due to not reading the instructions.
!!!Dokapon Kingdom
* BattleCry: Jon uses "Who wants to live forever!" before taking on an enemy at the end of episode 5.
** While Chugga uses "[[MemeticMutation CHALLENGE ACCEPTED]]!"
* BuffySpeak: When Jon (playing as a warrior) kills a random enemy with his [[BladeOnAStick character's weapon]], he rejoices by claiming he killed the enemy "with his stabby thing!"
* CallBack: Jon points out that Chugga's impression of the announcer's voice doesn't actually sound that much like it. Chugga says that [[KirbysReturnToDreamLand every]] [[WiiParty announcer voice]] he does ends up sounding more like [[SesameStreet Elmo]].
* CaptainObvious: Jon in episode 1.
--> '''Chugga (talking about player classes):''' The magician, I assume he's high damage...
--> '''Jon:''' He's ''magic''.
* EarthAllAlong: Parodied at the end of episode 3 when the world map comes up and Chugga notices it looks like a real map of Earth:
--> '''Chugga:''' It was our world all along! [[LargeHam FRIENDSHIP IS GOING TO DIE!]]
--> '''Jon:''' ...[[DullSurprise Okay]]. ''(video ends)''
* MathematiciansAnswer: At the end of episode 5, NCS gives up in a hopeless battle and drops a Squall item...
--> '''Chugga:''' How do you drop a tornado?
--> '''Jon:''' Very carefully.
* NarmCharm: {{In-universe}}, the Guys' reactions to some of the victory sound clips.
* SlowClap: Done after Chugga accidentally says something racist (again).
* SoBadItsGood[=/=]SoOkayItsAverage: [[invoked]] Chugga's opinion on the voice acting (actually, his second opinion -- he at first thinks it's the latter, then changes his mind to the former).
* TemptingFate: In episode 2, Chugga lands on a red chest space which starts a roulette that will either give him a very useful item or something that will hinder him; he states that the roulette will land on the space that robs him of money, [[spoiler:but averted when the roulette gives him a new magic spell]].
** [[spoiler:Played straight]] in episode 5, when Jon takes on an enemy slightly higher leveled than he is; he uses a strike with everyone certain that he'll handle his foe before Jon makes an offhand comment about his move missing. [[spoiler:It does]].
** And then in the final episode, [[spoiler: Chugga gets Mitch Digger, who will increaase the value of all the towns he owns on a roll of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The others note that if he gets this, he wins the game. Of course, Chugga just had to say "watch me actually lose"... then he rolls a 1, indeed costing him the game.]]
* UpToEleven: "If you guys thought ''MarioParty'' was the game that ruined friendships..."
** They also mention that the AI in the game [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheats worse than]] [[MarioParty Peach.]]
* XMeetsY: The game is described as ''MarioParty'' meets an RPG.
** [[UpToEleven Meets rock-paper-scissors meets]] [[WidgetSeries weird]].

[[folder: Thrown Controllers]]
!!!PAX East 2012 Panel
* AntiClimax: The final game is a round of Pong that is announced in an epic manner, complete with "the Final Countdown" playing in the background, getting the audience excited... but then it takes forever to set up due to computer issues and ends in less than a minute once it starts.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Tim gives us this gem after a ThatCameOutWrong moment:
--> '''Tim''': Yeah, I'm pretty well known for that. ({{beat}}) Anyone want a quarter? (throws a quarter into the audience)
* AudienceParticipation
* ContinuityNod: The name of the panel, ''Thrown Controllers'', could be a CallBack to when Jon got pissed at Tim in ''Subspace Emissary'''s bonus episode and threw his controller.
** There are a few references to the Guys' videos, as expected.
* CurbStompBattle: The Brawl 3-on-1 match between a Pikachu-player and three audience members playing as Ness, Lucas, and Kirby. Three guesses as to how that ended, and the first two don't count.
** The final, deciding game of Pong was also this in Team [[spoiler:Mario]]'s favour.
* TheCameo: LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} showed up near the end of the video and Diabetus was heard in the background. LetsPlay/{{Medibot}} also showed up, but he passed himself off as Oyster (another SA [=LPer=]). Ironically, they (except Medibot) were partially there to WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} them (Though Slowbeef admitted in his video that he also wanted to support Jon).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first of the ''Thrown Controller'' panels is the black sheep of them for a variety of reasons, from the different setup to the technical problems that made it run far less smoothly than the others.
* FinaglesLaw: The panel started about twenty minutes late due to technical problems, and when it finally did work, the program could not be fullscreened and ran slowly. When they had to skip to the end of the event due to this lost time, Jon's computer crashed as everyone got pumped up for the final challenge and the entire thing had to be restarted in front of 700 people. This led to the aforementioned AntiClimax.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: A vocal one rather than a visual one; a couple of times, when Jon stops the counter to allow the player to move, you can hear someone in the audience call out the number like the Count from SesameStreet if you listen closely:
--> '''Person''': Two! Two spaces! Ah hah hah!
** Someone also recites the Konami code.
** Both were said by the same person, as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrhdDn-VRBM&t=4m19s here]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrhdDn-VRBM&t=14m06s here.]] It might have been a FunnyBackgroundEvent to most people, but the kid was actually obnoxious and annoying for a majority of the panel.
* HeyItsThatGuy: A minor example; he doesn't introduce himself or say a whole lot, but you can see [=JoshJepson=] helping out during the panel.
* IncrediblyLamePun: As expected.
--> *the game for a team versus battle turns out to be VideoGame/ShaqFu, both players are Shaq*
-->'''Chugga''': The stakes are high, whoever loses goes home to their...''[[IncrediblyLamePun shack]]''!
-->[[CollectiveGroan *the audience groans*]]
-->'''Jon''': Get off the stage!
* OldShame: The Guys don't seem to like remembering this panel due to all the technical difficulties.
* OutOfFocus: Chugga and Tim don't say much aside from the odd comment, with Jon taking over as the main announcer.
* TakeThat: Chugga's hatred of a certain Sonic game doesn't seem to stop in his let's plays:
--> '''Jon''': (referring to Sonic's slow walking in a game they're doing) 'Cause Sonic runs that fast all the time.
--> '''Chugga''': It's Sonic Next Gen.
!!!PAX Prime 2012 Panel
* EpilepticFlashingLights: It's nowhere near the technical issues in the Pax East Panel, but the screens facing the audience flicker on and off whenever a game with too little resolution (like VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3) is played.
* HandicappedBadass: One of the Video Game challenges was a Runaway Challenge in which a Runaway Guy chose what challenge to do. The person who was doing this had to fight [[PunchOut Glass Joe]]...''blindfolded''. [[spoiler:The contestant successfully pulls it off, making this a CrowningMomentOfAwesome!]]
* IncrediblyLamePun: Chugga says this after a person named Spencer came up to play:
-->'''Chugga''': So, if we could [[IncrediblyLamePun ''dispense'']] some prizes on you...
-->'''Jon''': [[SarcasticClapping *slowly claps*]]
** Even Tim joined in with his "That sounds like a {{Contra}}[=diction=]!" line.
!!![[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=SmrWspoQZWA&NR=1 PAX East 2013 Panel]]
* TheCameo: Madame Wario and [=YoshiToMario=] were amongst the competitors in the competition.
** As were [=TWD98=] (Troy), Cycopather (Cyrus), and Korafoya (Ricky) , though they didn't mention their [=YouTube=] channels.
** LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} was one of the contestant's opponents in ''MarioKartDoubleDash'', playing as Mario and Peach.
** LetsPlay/StephenPlays and LetsPlay/MasaeAnela can be seen in the front row.
* FourIsDeath: The first contestant chooses the 4th panel...which held the Brutal Question inside.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In the ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'' challenge, slowbeef can be seen driving the wrong way on the course for half the round.
* LethalJokeCharacter: A contestant fights Chuggaaconroy in a Pokémon Stadium 1-on-1 fight, the only stipulation being that their choice must be a starter Pokémon from any of the games. Chugga chooses Squirtle, and the contestant chooses Meowth, a starter from the Mystery Dungeon series. When the Pokémon come out, the battle appears to be in Chugga's favor...[[spoiler:until Meowth's moveset is revealed and it's shown he has [[ShockAndAwe Thunder]]! It was the most powerful Electric-type move at the time of Pokémon Stadium's release, and Squirtle is a Water-type. Cue CurbStompBattle]].
* OhCrap: After the moves are revealed, the audience slowly starts to gasp and yell as the gravity of the situation sinks in, [[spoiler:Chugga himself can be seen putting his hand over his mouth in obvious flabbergasted shock, and Jon just kind of stammers.]]

!!Side-Collabs
[[folder: Fortune Street]]
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** [[{{In-universe}} According to the Guys,]] Waluigi's true passion in life is running his high-end bridal shop on Yoshi's Island. This has expanded since then to Waluigi finding distinctive ways to run every business he gets his hands on.
** In Mario Stadium, Chugga claims that [[WesternAnimation/{{Doug}} Mr. Dink]] is actually a pedophile.
* AscendedExtra: FortuneStreet was planned to be just filler, but the Yoshi's Island videos became so popular that the Guys decided to make it a "side collab" and it got its own playlist.
* BadassBoast: Tim gets a good one in on the second playthrough after willingly landing on a space that closed all his shops. It helps that [[spoiler:he won on the first playthrough.]]
-->'''Chugga''': Why'd you close for the day? You could've gone to the arcade!\\
'''NCS''': Yeah, I could've.\\
'''Jon''': Or you could've gotten a suit.\\
'''NCS''': I'm just trying to go easy on you.\\
'''Chugga''': OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!\\
'''Jon''': What? WHAT?!\\
'''Chugga''': Damn, boy! Tim's got an ego [[spoiler:now that he's won!]]\\
'''NCS''': You can just call me Egoraptor.
* BeginnersLuck: Lucah, who's never played the game before, mentions trying to invoke this in The Observatory, [[spoiler:and does manage to finish in second]].
* BornLucky: Chugga's luck is discussed several times in Mario Stadium, particularly near the end when [[spoiler:a random event card drawn by Tim, which was to pay a 100 g flat rate, inadvertently secures Chugga's victory]].
* BriefAccentImitation: Jon's Waluigi voice, which sounds like a bad Mexican accent to Chugga.
* BrokenPedestal: (Jokingly) invoked by Chugga in The Observatory when he talks about how Jon inspired him to be an [=LPer=] and now they're VitriolicBestBuds. "Never meet your heroes!"
* ButtMonkey: ''Chugga'' on Yoshi's Island, whose game goes from bad to worse thanks to poor rolls, terrible luck, and both the game and other players making sure he never gets a foothold. He finished with less than a quarter of the goal worth, beaten handily by the weakest AI in the game.
** HoistByHisOwnPetard: His decision to pay 400G for an 80G shop in the sticks was what initially left him severely underfunded.
* CallBack: They compare the Slurpodrome minigame to "A Day at the Races" which plagued them in Mario Party 2.
* CharacterSelectForcing: A meta example: after Jon's take on Waluigi was such an unexpected hit in the first game, Chugga notes at the start of the Observatory that he's basically ''expected'' to reprise his role. This is somewhat confusing for Chugga, as he actually plays as Waluigi a fair amount offscreen, and gets confused about this early on.
* CurbStompBattle: Jon outright calls the Delfino Plaza board this, with Tim doing the curb-stomping. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope He's wrong.]]]]
-->'''Tim:''' ''(after getting 1500 coins in a minigame)'' If I lost this somehow, that would be the stupidest thing ever.
-->'''Jake:''' Well, you're sitting pretty.
-->'''Jon:''' Tim, that's what we call a curb-stomp victory...
-->[[spoiler:Jon later wins the board]]
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: On the Slimenia board, Jake accidentally buys a property from Tim for five times its value just because he was used to answering "yes" to all the prompts. [[spoiler: This arguably cost him the game.]]
* DarkHorseVictory: [[spoiler:Jon]] is in last place for the entire first half of [[spoiler:Delfino Plaza]]. He ends up winning.
* DesignatedVillain: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in the Observatory playthrough: "What evil thing has Waluigi ever done in a Mario game?" Everyone else's response?
-->'''Jon:''' He beat up Luigi in tennis.
-->'''Tim:''' Threw a shell at me in Mario Kart.
-->'''Jon:''' He hung out with Wario a bunch.
-->'''Lucahjin:''' [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers He has no butt.]]
* FanNickname: In the Mario Stadium playthrough, Jon (and eventually the others) refer to rolling a seven on the dice as 'rolling an H'.
* FelonyMisdemeanor: Josh reacts this way a lot in Mario Stadium to things like the dice having a 7 and 8 on it and Jon 'crashing the stock market', partly because Josh hasn't played the game before.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: On Mario Stadium:
-->'''Chugga:''' "Jon always rolls ones, it's his thing."\\
'''Jon:''' *demonstrates this*
* ForegoneConclusion: Near the end of the Observatory, it becomes clear that [[spoiler:Jon is going to win]], so, in editing, Chugga just speeds up the video until the game is over.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: On the Yoshi's Island board, mention is made of a [[spoiler:'Mexican Penguin']], with Chugga adding that viewers "will know what that means in a few weeks." [[spoiler:This is Jon's character in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet''.]]
* ForWantOfANail:
** In Mario Stadium, [[spoiler:Chugga]] is all set to win, but has to [[spoiler:pass two of Jon's spaces that would cost him over 1000G on his way to the bank. He lands one space before the bank, on one of Jon's properties...but not before Tim randomly draws a card that changes all shop rates to a flat 100G for the turn, leaving him with enough money to win. Had Tim not drawn that card, Jon likely would have won, as he had enough money to do so and was already on his way to the bank, while Chugga would've had to do another lap around the board.]]
** [[spoiler: Jon's win]] in Slimenia. After collecting [[spoiler: a heart, his card lets him teleport anywhere, so he goes to the spade, since it was the only suit he didn't have, and draws another card. Said card lets him teleport to the bank at the cost of ''100 G'' and with all four suits in hand]], he instantly cashes the 10,000 G needed to win the game.
** In Delfino Plaza, if only [[spoiler:Tim had just bought that 510G property, Jon wouldn't have been able to make a huge comeback, and Tim]] very well could have won the board instead.
* HeroicBSOD: Jake has one after the complete gongshow that is "Delfino Plaza [Part 5]."
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: This trope ''seems'' to be in effect in the final part of Delfino Plaza, when [[spoiler:Tim (who has reached the target amount of net worth) uses his money lead to win both of Chugga's auctioned shops, which causes his funds to drop and thus allows Jon to win the board instead]]. However, it's really an [[AvertedTrope aversion]], since (had the later turns gone the same way) [[spoiler:Jon still would have won due to reaching the bank first, regardless of Tim's actions]].
* IncrediblyLamePun: Lucah steals Chugga's thunder with her "How many Mexicans does it take to change a lightbulb? ''Juan!''" joke, which causes him to high-five her.
* KingmakerScenario:
** Chugga realizes he has no hope of winning on the Yoshi's Island board, so he devotes his efforts into making sure Jon doesn't.
** On Mario Stadium, Josh does the same thing, [[spoiler:trading properties to give Jon a monopoly]] simply so that Chugga wouldn't win. [[spoiler: It fails due to Tim accidentally playing a big part in giving Chugga the win.]]
* MascotMook: Slime, who serves as the token COM player.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Discussed with respect to Jon's TRG persona in part 4 of The Observatory.
* NamesTheSame: According to the guys' cheering at the Yoshi's Island Slurpodrome, all the slimes are named Slime.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In Delfino Plaza, [[spoiler:NCS gets a big lead and has a good chance of winning the board, so he decides to go easy on Jon by not buying the 510G property in District D. Jon later buys the property, which ends up allowing him to beat NCS and win the board]].
* NoodleIncident: Jon mentions that he apparently had a bad experience with a girl he dated who liked wearing maid outfits. It sounds funny on paper, but from Jon's tone and refusal to elaborate, it obviously wasn't as funny as it seems.
* NumberOfTheBeast: Jake invests in a scrap metal shop in "Delfino Plaza [Part 6]," bringing it to 666G: The Scrap Metal Shop of the Beast.
* OhCrap: Chugga's reaction in Delfino Plaza [Episode 3] upon [[spoiler: rolling a 3 and landing on Tim's 556 G property.]]
--> '''Chuggaa:''' Watch it pause the game until he reconn-*realizes what happened* -EEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCTTTTTSSSSS!!!
--> '''Jon and Jake:''' *synchronized slow clapping*
* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler: Jon States that he thinks that Slimenia is this to him, as it was a close game between him and Jake for most of the end game... and then he got two cards in a row that won him the board instantly, making the victory feel very unearned.]]
* RoleAssociation: In The Observatory, Chugga laments that Jon's interpretation of Waluigi has become so popular with the fans that now Chugga himself won't be allowed to play as Waluigi when they play the later Mario Party games.
** After playing three boards as Bowser Jr, Chugga switches to Donkey Kong, his PlayerCharacter from the first three ''Mario Party'' games.
* SadisticChoice: In Delfino Plaza, at one point Jake lands on a cannon and has to shoot to one of the three other players' locations. All three of them are in 'the Ring of Death' as Chugga dubs it, surrounded by massively expensive shops.
* {{Spoonerism}}: In part 3 of Mario Stadium, Chugga turns "There goes the shop Josh wanted" into "There goes the shosh Jop wanted".
* StayInTheKitchen: Jokes about this in The Observatory due to the fact that Lucah actually had been cleaning Chugga's kitchen.
* TemptingFate:
** An epic example at the end of Part 4 of The Observatory. Jon invests a large sum in improving a store that Tim is 1 away from, then Tim gets a card that increases the prices on every store for one turn by 30%. Chugga points out "if Tim gets a one"... [[spoiler:He does]].
** This becomes something of a RunningGag, with Delfino Plaza for instance having two examples ''in a row'' of Guys rolling a 1 onto an expensive property after it's pointed out that they're 1 away.
*** In Part 6, Chuggaa states, "Don't give me a 1". He rolls the 1, [[spoiler: and lands on Tim's 1303 G property, giving Tim the amount of money he needs to go to the bank and win the board.]]
** In Delfino Plaza, when Tim gets a Round the Blocks minigame, Jon jokingly says something about him getting triple 7s, and Chugga adds that he's never seen it happen... right before Tim gets a line of them, causing Chugga to cut himself off to scream.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** [[spoiler:Tim finally wins a board game (Yoshi's Island) for the first time in over a year.]]
** [[spoiler:After some pretty bad luck on the first two boards, Chugga finally wins Mario Stadium.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: Happens to Chugga, but he doesn't let it bother him...until it happens again in the Observatory board. [[{{Understatement}} It bothers him.]]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Waluigi's distinctive accent, as provided by Jon. It actually gets worse as the game progresses.
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg-_NKS-9Y0 Waluigi is whatever he wants to be! Waluigi is every ethnicity!]]"
* WorthyOpponent: Chugga for Jon at the very end of Mario Stadium.

!!Tournaments
[[folder: Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
* AntiClimax: The final battle ends with [[spoiler:SKA killing himself via falling off the stage. ''Twice'']].
* ApologeticAttacker: Jon apologises to Donnabellez before their battle, since she hadn't played the game in a long time and he had a big advantage over her.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: SuperJeenius' nickname during the tournament is ύÓÌÇÈ. He says this is because he had nothing else to put in there.
* BattleCry: According to the finale, Jon's is "I'm going to bed".
* BigNo: Donnabellez lets one off when she loses her final stock in her first match.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:The first and last battles of the tournament involve LetsPlay/ProtonJon winning. If you don't count the preliminaries as an actual episode, then the first and last matches are also a CurbStompBattle.]]
* ButtMonkey: Donnabellez is the first to lose two matches and be eliminated from the tournament. The first match is a CurbStompBattle, and the second match has her being killed in Sudden Death by Tim.
** [=JoshJepson=] as well, getting beaten in the preliminaries by Jon and in the first loser's bracket round by Chugga, with neither of them breaking a sweat.
* CrisisCrossover: Of Let's Players.
* EndingFatigue: InUniverse, the tournament starts to wear on some of the players, for going late into the night.
* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: Jon reacts this way when Chugga starts wondering if LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} is basically the God of Let's Playing and Diabetus is Jesus. (For that matter, so does Diabetus, who is ''clearly'' uncomfortable with the BlasphemousPraise..)
* ForegoneConclusion: LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} says her loss to Jon was this, since Jon is a pro at the game and she hadn't played it in a long time.
** [[spoiler:Jon being the winner was probably predictable, but not guaranteed. However, given that he still could lose twice by the time of the final match and the video didn't have enough time for one more match, it was no secret that he'd beat his final opponent]].
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: For the players but unseen by the viewers; during the final match, Chugga, who is remaining quiet due to not being involved in the fight, apparently starts dancing.
** One of these gets Diabetus's attention throughout a match -- the Polar Bear on the Ice Climbers stage.
* {{Irony}}: Tim, who normally is Yoshi, plays as Diddy Kong, while Donnabellez plays as Yoshi instead. Later, Tim fights Donna, meaning he's basically fighting his usual main. [[spoiler:He wins, too]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: Jon dies almost instantly after noticing he had 69 damage and commenting on it.
* LikeAGodToMe: Chugga refers to LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} as the God of Let's Players (as he created the genre) and then wonders whether that would make Diabetus Jesus, an archangel, or the Voice of God.
* OutOfFocus: Due to the way it works, each of the main three Guys has least one video where they're either absent or not saying anything at all.
* PreMortemOneLiner: A couple:
--> '''[=SuperJeenius=]''': (to Chugga) Goodbye. Nice knowing you.
--> '''Chugga''': (to Josh) FIRE YUMS, BALLS!
--> ''(Chugga kills SuperJeenius with a flaming soccer ball)''
* RunningGag: Take a drink everytime [[VideoGame/MOTHER3 Lucas]] uses his [[LimitBreak Final Smash]]. It doesn't help that there were two in the tourney.
** Also, every time NCS is MC, the tournament gets a new name.
* TemptingFate: Lucahjin comments how she is "going to die in two seconds" at the start of her first match. She then almost instantly falls off the stage and dies.
* TookALevelInBadass: Tim's skill in fighting has increased since Subspace Emissary, as shown in his fight with Donnabellez. Inverted, as the tournament was recorded ''before'' Subspace Emissary.
* WorthyOpponent: Jon considers [=ALoyalGamer=] and [=SuperJeenius=] to be this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mario Power Tennis]]
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Jonny Paula makes a joking accusation towards LetsPlay/ProtonJon of this:
--> '''JP''': [[SarcasmMode That's a cheap shot! Proton Jon cheats!]]
--> '''Jon''': [[ThrowItIn I do cheat, actually.]] But no one's ever caught me. Until now. How dare you ruin my...
--> '''JP''': No one's ever caught you? What about YourMom that one time in your bedroom?
--> '''Jon''': [[NoodleIncident Uh... we don't talk about that anymore.]]
* AntiClimax: Jon Paula was likely the guest most fans were excited about... and he's the first one knocked out, beaten by LetsPlay/ProtonJon in the very first match. Since this is single elimination and not double, that means he was out of the tournament less than five minutes in.
* AscendedMeme: Tim randomly came up with the name 'invitational tournament' in the ''Brawl'' tournament; for this one, everyone uses the phrase.
* BriefAccentImitation: Chugga attempts to do an impression of Tim, but (in his words) ends up sounding like [[DrillSergeantNasty a drill sergeant]] instead. He then attempts another voice and ends up as [[CallBack Mmaxie from]] [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Teamm Mmagmma]]!
** LetsPlay/JoshJepson also attempts a voice but ends up (according to LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}}) sounding like LetsPlay/{{Pcull44444}}.
* CurbStompBattle: There were a few one-sided matches. However, [[spoiler:Chugga to [=ProtonJon=]]] takes the cake, as the latter is the only receiver who didn't score!
* OneSteveLimit: The first game is a match between [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Jon]] and [[IsItAGoodIdeaToMicrowaveThis Jon]]. They spend several minutes discussing how not to get them confused.
--> '''(Proton) Jon:''' It's JP versus PJ. It's [[CoolVsAwesome Jurassic Park versus pajamas.]]
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: It's the last game the Guys are doing in a row that is a Mario game (or has Mario as a major character), and instead of being a regular LetsPlay, it's a tournament.
** And, in a case of the ''first'' of these not being like the others, the very first person to play (Johnny Paula) is not known for gaming, but for WebVideo/IsItAGoodIdeaToMicrowaveThis.
** Also, [[spoiler:all of Chugga's matches are curbstomps in his favour, except the last one -- he still wins, but it's actually a close match]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Smash 64 Tournament]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Chugga acts as the announcer for the Josh vs. Tucans fight, and comes across as sensible and restrained next to [[AdultChild Tucans]]...
* BackFromTheBrink: Happens several times, including [[spoiler:LetsPlay/JoshJepson versus SuperJeenius]].
* BadImpressionists: LetsPlay/AttackingTucans' attempt at doing LetsPlay/ProtonJon's voice for some reason includes a CampGay-style lisp, which Jon calls him out on.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: When Stephen and Mal of LetsPlay/StephenPlays face each other in the loser's bracket:
--> '''Chugga:''' "Hello and welcome to Stephen & Mal Play Smash 64. My name is not Stephen Georg, but I do play video games."
** Later Stephen himself says it, and Chugga comments "[[CaptainObvious He's playing a video game right now!]]"
* CallBack: When SuperJeenius appears, he introduces himself as "ùÓÌÇÈ", the screen name he was using in the previous Smash Bros tournament.
** When NCS introduces Tyson from [[LetsPlay/WiiRikeToPray WRTP]], he makes an "I'll take Tyson" reference.
** In the Brawl tournament, there was a running joke that every time NCS introduced a round, the title of the tournament got longer. This time, NCS comments that every time he does it the title seems to get ''shorter''.
* TheCaptain: Apparently Chugga was responsible for organising the tournament, and several of the guests refer to him as "Our Director".
* CherryTapping: [[spoiler:SuperJeenius kills LetsPlay/JoshJepson and wins the match by throwing a Pokeball at him]]. This leads to jokes in the comments that [[spoiler:Jeenius caught Josh like a Pokémon]].
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Lampshaded aversion when NCS (Yoshi) fights Donnabellez (Kirby) but both of them choose yellow as their character's colour.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Lucah vs. Rodri. It helps that Lucah has [[https://twitter.com/Lucahjin/status/300447366635462656 stated]] that she didn't grow up with an N64, so it was only natural that she'd suck at Smash 64.
** Josh vs. Tucans. Tucans has never played the game before and chooses Link, widely considered one of the weakest characters in SSB. [[spoiler:He wins, retaining all three of his stocks and ending with 0% damage.]]
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Several players suffer from being used to having the air-dodging from ''Brawl'', which doesn't exist in this game.
* DesignatedGirlFight: Jon jokes about this when he commentates for Lucahjin vs. Donnabellez.
* ExiledToTheCouch: Chugga (and Stephen himself) joke about this when Stephen defeats his wife Mal in a match.
* FirstNameBasis: At one point, Jon refers to Captain Falcon as "Douglas".
* HypocriticalHumour: LetsPlay/AttackingTucans pretending to be offended when LetsPlay/StephenPlays says he was 'touching Link's butt' with the cursor in the pre-game screen.
* InJoke: During LetsPlay/JoshJepson vs. SuperJeenius, Jon complains that all the humour in the tournament so far is based on in-jokes that nobody will get.
* InSeriesNickname: When Donna fights Lucah after both have had a few drinks, they refer to themselves as "Drunkabellez and Lucah-gin and tonic".
** In the same match, Jon (the announcer) mentions how he's coined the {{neologism}} {{portmanteau}} "Let's Play-dies" for female Let's Players.
* NamesTheSame: The tournament includes both Tyler "LetsPlay/AttackingTucans" Sederwall and Tyler from [[LetsPlay/WiiRikeToPray WRTP]].
** What really enrages Pcull when NCS accidentally reveals his real name (Patrick Cullen) is Jon pointing out that now people will start doing {{Twilight}} references.
* PaletteSwap: Jon plays as Mario, but changes his colour scheme to that of Wario (who's not in this game) and does a Wario voiceover.
* PunctuatedPounding: Jon against LetsPlay/PCull44444, using a ray gun to push him past the edge of the stage.
-->'''Jon:''' You. Are. Dead. To. Me. Patrick. Cullen. [[OverlyLongGag Also. Known as. PCull...]]
* RunningGag: In the random stage selection, the Pokemon stage showing up absurdly often, usually pointed out by Chugga. In the finale, Tim even compares it to "Day at the Races" from their Mario Party 2 LP.
* SeinfeldianConversation: SuperJeenius and Tyler from [[LetsPlay/WiiRikeToPray WRTP]] have one about pi in their battle.
* ThisExplainsSoMuch: Donnabellez and Lucahjin explain that they had a few drinks prior to their match, with Jon (and the audience) replying with this reaction.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[CallBack Once again]], NCS goes up against LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}}, but both of them play far more competently this time.
** NCS in general. He managed to put up a decent fight against Rodri and was doing very well, seemingly only losing due to Rodri managing to pick up two hammers and two Heart Containers (even Rodri admits he won due to items).
* VitriolicBestBuds: LetsPlay/{{Donnabellez}} and LetsPlay/AttackingTucans, to an extent that rather shocks Jon (acting as the announcer) when Tucans yells "DUMB BITCH!" at Donna (as he does regularly in their co-ops, and she returns in kind).
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Mario Kart: Double Dash]]
* ButtonMashing: The clacking of control sticks sometimes threatens to drown out the commentary.
* CallBack: Team Beard Willis is a reference to The Completionist's GunstarHeroes review, in which Jon, his teammate, guest starred. They also played through the game on Jon's channel.
* CaptainObvious: When Chugga or Jon asks some of the first-time guests what they do on their channels, more than one person replies with something like "I do Let's Plays" or "I play video games".
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Several guests suffer from this due to being used to the controls from ''Mario Kart Wii'' or ''Mario Kart 7''.
* EvilLaugh: Chugga lets loose one [[spoiler: when he reveals that the tournament is not over after the finals.]] Jon, [[DeadpanSnarker in true Jon fashion]], tells him that it wasn't necessary.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: On [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QyPG1_e2Hk&t=15m34s Josh Jepson's vlog]], a scene was shown where the teams, who are not playing, are sitting in the hallway outside of the room talking. One of them says "You promise this is ''Mario Kart: Double Dash''." Additionally, you can see everyone's reaction to {{Lucahjin}} and [[WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue Dodger]] screaming in the Qualifying Round.
* NonindicativeName: Neither of the Koopa Krew team play as Koopas in their first or final appearance (confusing Jon the announcer in the latter case, as the opposing team [[spoiler:Purple Pwniez]] ''are'' playing as Koopas).
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Slowbeef constantly acts like he has no idea what he's doing.
* RunningGag: Every time a coin is tossed to decide who goes first, tails seems to come up. "[[CatchPhrase Tails Never Fails!]]"
** Heads finally comes up once in one of the later rounds, prompting Chugga to joke "It's not Tails - it's Sonic!"
** Jon even lampshades this in the finale, with the coin only having come up heads ''once'' in the whole tournament, suggesting it's a weighted coin.
* TakeAThirdOption: When [=ShadowMarioXLI=] is asked to call heads or tails, he says "Both!"
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler:The Koopa Krew]] wins the final race in the tournament against [[spoiler:the Purple Pwniez]] on [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Rainbow Road]], [[spoiler:only for Chugga to declare that there isn't a winner yet because [[FightingYourFriend there can't be two]].]]

!!Filler
[[folder: The Runaway Gaiden]]
!!!Super Smash Bros.
* AnnouncerChatter: During the one-on-one fights, the third Guy commentates.
* ApologeticAttacker: Jon apologises to Tim when he stops joking around and [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]].
* CallBack: To Mario Party, when Jon yells "GET OFF MY PLANE!"
* CurbStompBattle: Chugga vs. Tim. To Jon and Chugga's surprise, this is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when Tim is able to hold his own against Jon for a while.
* DamnYouMuscleMemory: Several instances of the Guys attributing ''Brawl'' mechanics to the original VideoGame/SuperSmashBros, such as forgetting that air-dodging didn't exist yet and that Yoshi's egg toss did not propel it upward.
** Jon has to learn to use a Wii Classic Controller while playing the final match.
* IncrediblyLongNote: Tim shouting "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rsb4UkEhrE&t=255s Let's get ready to RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!]]" and holding it for ''ten whole seconds''. Chugga and Jon are amazed.
-->'''Chugga:''' What else can you do, Tim?
* MadLibsCatchphrase: FALCON ________!
* NoodleIncident: A weird one occurs during the Chugga/Jon battle with Tim as announcer.
-->'''Tim:''' That reminds me of a comment I left on a video.
-->'''Jon:''' [[NoJustNoReaction No, just no]].
-->*Chugga starts laughing*
* RealMenWearPink: Jon uses "Valentine's Day" Falcon.
!!!Mario Kart 64
* AmbiguouslyGay: Jon starts to think this of Chugga when his constant cries of "SUCK IT!" take an even more awkward turn:
--> '''Chugga''': ''*about to ram into Jon with his kart and defeat him* "SUCK IT!" *misses* "AGH! Dang it! I almost made him suck-" *dissolves into laughter*''
--> '''Jon''': ''"Would you stop saying 'suck'?!"''
--> '''Chugga''': ''"I didn't mean to say it..."''
--> '''Jon''': ''"I'm ''really'' starting to wonder what your sexual preference is!"''
* CallBack: Quite a few. Among them were "I'm witnessing something", "Press L to P", and their "thing" conversation.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Apparently, the original take had Jon winning ''every battle.'' Even for him, that is impressive. That recording was lost and we never got to see it.
** Another offscreen moment that may also double as a moment of funny is when Tim was so excited he yelled "YES!" so loud it [[NoIndoorVoice reached Chugga levels.]] Considering who he [[TheQuietOne usually is]], this is pretty cool. Fortunately, they managed to recover at least that audio portion and play it for us. [[spoiler:He then later does a slightly quieter one when he wins on Rainbow Road.]]
!!!Wii Sports
* CurbStompBattle: Jon vs. Tim, in Boxing. [[spoiler:Jon managed to knock out Tim in 12 seconds.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Their Miis are given nicknames based on the way they look: Smug Man (Jon), Dipped Nose (Tim), and Generic Face (Chugga).
* OnlySaneMan: Chugga tries to invoke this at the end of the recording, and is immediately called out on it by Tim and Jon.
--> '''Chugga''': They're not listening, I'm the only sane one here.
--> '''Jon''': You wish!
--> '''Tim''': Shut up!
!!!New Super Mario Bros. 2
* ViralMarketing: [[http://youtu.be/-4IBW6ETPbo&t=44m22s According to Jon]] in a [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} Retsutalk]] video, Nintendo actually contacted the guys to get them to promote [=NSMB2=], and even gave them prizes to give out.
!!!Burnout Revenge
* AccidentalMisnaming: Apparently Chugga once misremembered Lucah's real name as "Hershey" rather than "Reese", having only vaguely remembered that it had [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reese%27s_Pieces something to do]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hershey_Bar with chocolate]].
* AmbiguousGender: As there are two female guests, Chugga and Lucah suggest it should be boys vs. girls...only for Tim to point out that given "[[NeverLiveItDown Tim, his wife!]]" he's not sure what team he should be on.
* CallBack: Jon gets in some "FOOTBALL!" references from his ''ResidentEvil5'' co-op with SuperJeenius.
* {{Eagleland}}: As usual, Chugga tries to use 'I'm an American!' as an excuse for bad driving or impatience, only for Jon to point out that [[AnalogyBackfire he (Jon) is the only one there who ISN'T American]].
* GoldenSnitch: Subverted with the final stage - it has a much larger possible score than the other two, but [[spoiler:everyone gets large but relatively close scores, so it comes down to their performance in the previous two stages]].
* RunningGag: ''Everyone'' using the same vehicle in the first stage, copying Jon, even though he only picked that one as a joke. {{Lucahjin}} breaks the pattern...[[spoiler:and promptly misses the collision altogether]].
* TemptingFate: Averted for once in a Runaway Guys video. [[spoiler:After a previous EpicFail, Lucah constantly talks about how she's going to fall off the bridge in the third stage, only to get the second highest score]].
* WomenDrivers: Joked about by {{Lucahjin}} in an NWordPrivileges fashion.
!!!Wii Play
* BackFromTheBrink: [[spoiler:Tim]] beats [[spoiler:Chugga]] in the shooting gallery game after being behind for most of it.
* BrickJoke: After Jon's FelonyMisdemeanor disappointment at ''WiiParty'' never giving him the Captain Falcon Mii, he now gets to play as that Mii.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] (and pointed out) -- Chugga and Jon use each other's colors, which leads to some confusion.
* NoJustNoReaction: Jon's reaction to Chugga calling Captain Falcon "the original brony" (a reference to the ''Wii Party'' LP, where Captain Falcon and Mr. Ed were paired together in Friend Connection.)
* ReadTheFreakingManual: As in ''Mario Party 3'', Tim compares Chugga and Jon to the WebVideo/GameGrumps when they struggle in a game due to not reading the instructions.
!!!Dokapon Kingdom
* BattleCry: Jon uses "Who wants to live forever!" before taking on an enemy at the end of episode 5.
** While Chugga uses "[[MemeticMutation CHALLENGE ACCEPTED]]!"
* BuffySpeak: When Jon (playing as a warrior) kills a random enemy with his [[BladeOnAStick character's weapon]], he rejoices by claiming he killed the enemy "with his stabby thing!"
* CallBack: Jon points out that Chugga's impression of the announcer's voice doesn't actually sound that much like it. Chugga says that [[KirbysReturnToDreamLand every]] [[WiiParty announcer voice]] he does ends up sounding more like [[SesameStreet Elmo]].
* CaptainObvious: Jon in episode 1.
--> '''Chugga (talking about player classes):''' The magician, I assume he's high damage...
--> '''Jon:''' He's ''magic''.
* EarthAllAlong: Parodied at the end of episode 3 when the world map comes up and Chugga notices it looks like a real map of Earth:
--> '''Chugga:''' It was our world all along! [[LargeHam FRIENDSHIP IS GOING TO DIE!]]
--> '''Jon:''' ...[[DullSurprise Okay]]. ''(video ends)''
* MathematiciansAnswer: At the end of episode 5, NCS gives up in a hopeless battle and drops a Squall item...
--> '''Chugga:''' How do you drop a tornado?
--> '''Jon:''' Very carefully.
* NarmCharm: {{In-universe}}, the Guys' reactions to some of the victory sound clips.
* SlowClap: Done after Chugga accidentally says something racist (again).
* SoBadItsGood[=/=]SoOkayItsAverage: [[invoked]] Chugga's opinion on the voice acting (actually, his second opinion -- he at first thinks it's the latter, then changes his mind to the former).
* TemptingFate: In episode 2, Chugga lands on a red chest space which starts a roulette that will either give him a very useful item or something that will hinder him; he states that the roulette will land on the space that robs him of money, [[spoiler:but averted when the roulette gives him a new magic spell]].
** [[spoiler:Played straight]] in episode 5, when Jon takes on an enemy slightly higher leveled than he is; he uses a strike with everyone certain that he'll handle his foe before Jon makes an offhand comment about his move missing. [[spoiler:It does]].
** And then in the final episode, [[spoiler: Chugga gets Mitch Digger, who will increaase the value of all the towns he owns on a roll of 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The others note that if he gets this, he wins the game. Of course, Chugga just had to say "watch me actually lose"... then he rolls a 1, indeed costing him the game.]]
* UpToEleven: "If you guys thought ''MarioParty'' was the game that ruined friendships..."
** They also mention that the AI in the game [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheats worse than]] [[MarioParty Peach.]]
* XMeetsY: The game is described as ''MarioParty'' meets an RPG.
** [[UpToEleven Meets rock-paper-scissors meets]] [[WidgetSeries weird]].

[[folder: Thrown Controllers]]
!!!PAX East 2012 Panel
* AntiClimax: The final game is a round of Pong that is announced in an epic manner, complete with "the Final Countdown" playing in the background, getting the audience excited... but then it takes forever to set up due to computer issues and ends in less than a minute once it starts.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Tim gives us this gem after a ThatCameOutWrong moment:
--> '''Tim''': Yeah, I'm pretty well known for that. ({{beat}}) Anyone want a quarter? (throws a quarter into the audience)
* AudienceParticipation
* ContinuityNod: The name of the panel, ''Thrown Controllers'', could be a CallBack to when Jon got pissed at Tim in ''Subspace Emissary'''s bonus episode and threw his controller.
** There are a few references to the Guys' videos, as expected.
* CurbStompBattle: The Brawl 3-on-1 match between a Pikachu-player and three audience members playing as Ness, Lucas, and Kirby. Three guesses as to how that ended, and the first two don't count.
** The final, deciding game of Pong was also this in Team [[spoiler:Mario]]'s favour.
* TheCameo: LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} showed up near the end of the video and Diabetus was heard in the background. LetsPlay/{{Medibot}} also showed up, but he passed himself off as Oyster (another SA [=LPer=]). Ironically, they (except Medibot) were partially there to WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} them (Though Slowbeef admitted in his video that he also wanted to support Jon).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first of the ''Thrown Controller'' panels is the black sheep of them for a variety of reasons, from the different setup to the technical problems that made it run far less smoothly than the others.
* FinaglesLaw: The panel started about twenty minutes late due to technical problems, and when it finally did work, the program could not be fullscreened and ran slowly. When they had to skip to the end of the event due to this lost time, Jon's computer crashed as everyone got pumped up for the final challenge and the entire thing had to be restarted in front of 700 people. This led to the aforementioned AntiClimax.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: A vocal one rather than a visual one; a couple of times, when Jon stops the counter to allow the player to move, you can hear someone in the audience call out the number like the Count from SesameStreet if you listen closely:
--> '''Person''': Two! Two spaces! Ah hah hah!
** Someone also recites the Konami code.
** Both were said by the same person, as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrhdDn-VRBM&t=4m19s here]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrhdDn-VRBM&t=14m06s here.]] It might have been a FunnyBackgroundEvent to most people, but the kid was actually obnoxious and annoying for a majority of the panel.
* HeyItsThatGuy: A minor example; he doesn't introduce himself or say a whole lot, but you can see [=JoshJepson=] helping out during the panel.
* IncrediblyLamePun: As expected.
--> *the game for a team versus battle turns out to be VideoGame/ShaqFu, both players are Shaq*
-->'''Chugga''': The stakes are high, whoever loses goes home to their...''[[IncrediblyLamePun shack]]''!
-->[[CollectiveGroan *the audience groans*]]
-->'''Jon''': Get off the stage!
* OldShame: The Guys don't seem to like remembering this panel due to all the technical difficulties.
* OutOfFocus: Chugga and Tim don't say much aside from the odd comment, with Jon taking over as the main announcer.
* TakeThat: Chugga's hatred of a certain Sonic game doesn't seem to stop in his let's plays:
--> '''Jon''': (referring to Sonic's slow walking in a game they're doing) 'Cause Sonic runs that fast all the time.
--> '''Chugga''': It's Sonic Next Gen.
!!!PAX Prime 2012 Panel
* EpilepticFlashingLights: It's nowhere near the technical issues in the Pax East Panel, but the screens facing the audience flicker on and off whenever a game with too little resolution (like VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3) is played.
* HandicappedBadass: One of the Video Game challenges was a Runaway Challenge in which a Runaway Guy chose what challenge to do. The person who was doing this had to fight [[PunchOut Glass Joe]]...''blindfolded''. [[spoiler:The contestant successfully pulls it off, making this a CrowningMomentOfAwesome!]]
* IncrediblyLamePun: Chugga says this after a person named Spencer came up to play:
-->'''Chugga''': So, if we could [[IncrediblyLamePun ''dispense'']] some prizes on you...
-->'''Jon''': [[SarcasticClapping *slowly claps*]]
** Even Tim joined in with his "That sounds like a {{Contra}}[=diction=]!" line.
!!![[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=SmrWspoQZWA&NR=1 PAX East 2013 Panel]]
* TheCameo: Madame Wario and [=YoshiToMario=] were amongst the competitors in the competition.
** As were [=TWD98=] (Troy), Cycopather (Cyrus), and Korafoya (Ricky) , though they didn't mention their [=YouTube=] channels.
** LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} was one of the contestant's opponents in ''MarioKartDoubleDash'', playing as Mario and Peach.
** LetsPlay/StephenPlays and LetsPlay/MasaeAnela can be seen in the front row.
* FourIsDeath: The first contestant chooses the 4th panel...which held the Brutal Question inside.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In the ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'' challenge, slowbeef can be seen driving the wrong way on the course for half the round.
* LethalJokeCharacter: A contestant fights Chuggaaconroy in a Pokémon Stadium 1-on-1 fight, the only stipulation being that their choice must be a starter Pokémon from any of the games. Chugga chooses Squirtle, and the contestant chooses Meowth, a starter from the Mystery Dungeon series. When the Pokémon come out, the battle appears to be in Chugga's favor...[[spoiler:until Meowth's moveset is revealed and it's shown he has [[ShockAndAwe Thunder]]! It was the most powerful Electric-type move at the time of Pokémon Stadium's release, and Squirtle is a Water-type. Cue CurbStompBattle]].
* OhCrap: After the moves are revealed, the audience slowly starts to gasp and yell as the gravity of the situation sinks in, [[spoiler:Chugga himself can be seen putting his hand over his mouth in obvious flabbergasted shock, and Jon just kind of stammers.]]
