History TheRunawayGuys / OtherVideos

* AwesomeMcCoolname: [=SuperJeenius=]' nickname during the tournament is ύÓÌÇÈ. He says this is because he had nothing else to put in there.

* TheCameo: {{LetsPlay/Slowbeef}} is one of the contestants to be called up to play. though he claimed to be [[LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate DarkSydePhil]] when he came up.

* AudienceParticipation:
** A few of the Audience Video Game Challenges invoke this. It's played even more straight in the following panels.
** Leap of Faith has the contestant choose someone among the audience (usually a friend) to play a video game challenge for them. Completing the challenge earns the contestant a point and give the chosen audience member a chance in the contestant line-up.

* NintendoHard: The Brutal Questions are designed to be this. Complete with a fade to black, musical sting, and being portrayed as being written in blood to really hammer in how screwed a contestant is.

* RunningGag: If The Devil's Deal comes up, expect the audience to chant "Sell your soul!", hoping for the contestant to take the risk.

* AudienceParticipation: A few of the Audience Video Game Challenges invoke this. It's played even more straight in the following panels.

* NintendoHard: The Brutal Questions are designed to be this.

* UncannyValley: [[invoked]] Referenced in regards towards the awkward character designs and animations.

--> Emile: [[spoiler: [[UpToEleven TWO HOURS AND]] [[NoIndoorVoice THIRTY SEVEN MINUTES.]]]]

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse.
** [[invoked]] In Part 2 of "Match 1," Chugga gets to guess during a High/Low minigame. The answer is "Celebrity Chef Paula Deen," but he has no idea what the first two words are, so he guesses "Calibrary Cuff Paula Deen." Jon pokes fun at this for the rest of the video.

** [[invoked]] In Part 2 of "Hawaii" Chugga's guess for "The Metropolitan Museum of Art" is "The Metropolitan Mutant of Ark." This causes Jon to completely snap, and he again refuses to let Chugga hear the end of it for the entire video.

* OrwellianRetcon: Chugga jokes about doing one of these during Part 2 of "Hawaii", following his mistake as shown in NeverLiveItDown.

*** When he defeated, he sits down with am embarrassed look on his face with a log of morning wood, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Daisy's crown]], and a heart-shaped box. This is a reference to the stream "[[NeverLiveItDown Chugga's Lost Innocence]]".

* 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.

* {{Corpsing}}: Jon's reaction to Tim's intro to the Happy Holidays board.

* AbsenteeActor: Tim is completely absent from this panel due to an illness that prevented him from going.

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, Lucahjin's constant references to [=ChuggaXDaisy=] during Robbin' Hood Ruins. [[note]]She's referring to [[http://www.twitch.tv/protonjon/c/4303291 this stream]] that the Guys did of Mario Party 6, where Chugga made some... [[AccidentalInnuendo interesting comments]] about Daisy.[[/note]]
** Also InUniverse, in Castle Trodain, Masae not trading shops with Jon to give them both monopolies, leading to Jon buying his way into a decisive monopoly [[spoiler: and easy win]] anyway. No one misses a single opportunity to mention this.
** Jon quotes this verbatim in Bowser's Castle after Tim's chain of decisions lands him very much in last place, capped off by choosing the guaranteed bad outcome in Memory Block.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The panel was drastically changed into the style used now starting with this panel.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Although Stephen is no more familiar with the game than the other guest players, he brings a very different approach to it than them (or the main Guys), negotiating shop exchanges quite early in the game (whereas usually this only happens at Jon's instigation and in the late game).

* JackOfAllStats: Initially, Chugga played as QP, one of the base game characters, who has a +0 in all stats and 5 HP. This made him the most balanced player compared to Tim or Jon until he changed to Sumika on Sealed Archive.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Jon, preferring to keeping the raunchy [=RosaJon=] content out of the channel, spliced together his Kyosuke mod sprites with the Sora (Military) mod to keep it safe for work. This is just a temporary measure until the proper artwork is made, however.

* AuthorVocabularyCalendar: [[invoked]]Discussed: Jon points out that Emile really likes using the word "buns," so much that the Guys reskinned the in-game R'bits[[note]] ("Rabbits")[[/note]] card to have his character art.

* AuthorVocabularyCalendar: [[invoked]]Discussed: Emile really likes using the word "buns," so much that the Guys reskinned the in-game R'bits[[note]] ("Rabbits")[[/note]] card to have his character art.

* ShareTheMalePain: When Stephen begins adding more children in his "interesting" views of [[ExplosiveBreeder Luigi]], Jon tells him to get sniped, which causes Emile to cringe.

* FanNickname: In-Universe.
** Starting with Mario Stadium, Jon (and eventually the others) refer to rolling a seven on the dice as 'rolling an H'.
** In Mt. Magmageddon, after the different players build up their properties on different "islands" of the board, they end up getting dubbed "VideoGame/YoshisIsland", "[[VideoGame/MarioParty Waluigi Island]]" and "Muscle Island" (split between Carver and Donkey Kong).

* FragileSpeedster: Tim plays as Suguri, one of the base characters, who has a +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +2 EVD, and 4 HP. He's a bit stronger than the others and has a good chance to avoid damage, but the low HP and DEF makes survivability difficult when evading fails or isn't an option. Emile as Sumika has a similar stat spread, but with +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +1 EVD and 5 HP instead. Sora (Military) has +1 ATK, 0 DEF, +1 EVD and 4 HP, but mitigates the fragility with an auto-revive ability.

Emile as Sumika has a similar stat spread, but with +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +1 EVD and 5 HP instead. [=RosaJon=] has +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +1 EVD and 4 HP, but mitigates the fragility with an auto-revive ability.

* ItAmusedMe: In the finale of ''Ocean Dive'', the AI has over 200 stars and is one space from her bas. Emile kills her in a desperate attempt to stop her victory. Then Jon, who is in Kyousuke's defensive form and low on stars, lands on the space with them both and, despite having a near-guaranteed loss, battles Emile:

* ArtificialStupidity: During part 3 of ''Santa's Workshop (Co-Op)'', the Guys get frustrated at some puzzling decisions made by their CPU ally, Arthur: declining to fight the boss's chicken minions [[note]](which give the boss an extra die during rolls when alive)[[/note]] and, when he does get into fights, using a card that steals stars rather than doing damage. [[spoiler: Though the Guys win despite his "help."]]

* FragileSpeedster: Tim plays as Suguri, one of the base characters, who has a +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +2 EVD, and 4 HP. He's a bit stronger than the others and has a good chance to avoid damage, but the low HP and DEF makes survivability difficult when evading fails or isn't an option. Emile as Sumika has a similar stat spread, but with +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +1 EVD and 5 HP instead. RosaJon has +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +1 EVD and 4 HP, but mitigates the fragility with an auto-revive ability.

** In Beginner Town (Winter), he swaps to a RosaJon mod over Sora (Military), having another set of references.
*** RosaJon swings around nunchucks, Michelango's weapon of choice and Jon's favorite Mutant Turtle.
*** RosaJon's Hyper weaponizes GagBoobs with breast expansion, referencing Jon's comment on how RosaJon's boobs should be bigger. The card's quote reads "5...5...5...5...5...", a bit alert that plays an edited Series/{{Thunderbirds}} intro that only counts 5.
