* ArtificialStupidity: During part 3 of ''Santa's Workshop CO'', 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."]]

* ArtificialStupidity: During part 3 of ''Santa's Workshop CO'', the team's CPU ally, Arthur, makes some puzzling decisions including 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 converts any damage he does into stolen stars. [[spoiler: Though the Guys win despite his "help."]]

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverKill: [[spoiler: Tim wins]] the ''Treasure Island'' board with 821 stars. This is over four times the win condition of 200 stars.

*** When defeated, Jon lies on the floor with a sign that reads "*Insert Power Rangers explosion here*".

* JackOfAllStats: Chugga plays as QP, one of the base game characters, who has a +0 in all stats and 5 HP. This makes him the most balanced player compared to Tim or Jon. He changes to Sumika on Sealed Archive, though.

** Jon gets pelted with a [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Pokey]] and glitches out, a double reference to "MOVE FASTER POKEY" and his notorious streak for game-breaking glitches. His Hyper turns him into [="RosaJon"=] and carries several aspects of his stream culture, such as using the Art Block logo to, well, block attacks. It's a bit hard to tell, but he's also holding a [[BornUnlucky wilted four-leaf clover]] that is burnt when he rolls.
** Chugga wields [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 the Monado]], and the symbol displayed on the sword is 運, the kanji for [[BornLucky "luck"]]. He, however, doesn't attack with the Monado. He hits others with [[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} Steve the Red Pikmin]]. His defeated sprite is a reference to "Chugga's Lost Innocence", sitting embarrassed with a log of morning wood, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Daisy's crown]], and a heart-shaped box. On victories and beneficial effects, he wears the squid hat for the [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Hiker Dance]]. His Hyper is renamed to "Remarkable Discardables", which draws from his TCG side series "Discardables".
** When Tim rolls, he's accompanied by ''A BEE'', and is never without a Yoshi egg. He gets hit by [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda a single green rupee]] when damaged (sans the green rupee scream), and when defeated, he's taking a dump on the toilet (albeit not in the bathroom). The Happy sprite is accompanied by his egg hatching, and the [[VideoGame/YoshisStory Special Heart]]. His Hyper has the quote "Two times in a row, man!"

* CallForward: During Mt. Magmageddon, Chugga tells Jon that he has changed the future and tells him that "he is the [[VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}} Monado]], foreshadowing Chugga doing the game that weapon is from.

* {{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''.]]

* FragileSpeedster: Tim plays as Suguri, one of the base characters, who has a +1 ATK, -1 DEF, +2 EVA, 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.

* JackOfAllStats: Chugga plays as QP, one of the base game characters, who has a +0 in all stats and 5 HP. This makes him the most balanced player compared to Tim or Jon.

* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: The opening of the first video for the game on the Switch, owing to the fact it was the first video the group had to record over long distance. We see an entire blooper segment of attempts of the guys to get in the same room to play before they finally pull it off a whole HOUR later.

* TraumaCongaLine: In ''Christmas Miracle'', Jon picks up two Hypers over the course of the game, allowing him to transform into the powerful [=RosaJon=] by [[GlassCannon swapping his ATK and DEF stats.]] He promptly loses both Hypers to the boss who one-shots him with a 9 ATK roll. Towards the end of the game, [[spoiler:Jon tries to make up for this deficit by attacking Chugga while in normal form to scrounge up extra Wins and plays Heat Up to get an edge. Not only does Chugga have a Hyper Mode in his hand, he survives Jon's attack and rolls an ''8 ATK'' against Jon, which proceeds to OneHitKill him and gives Chugga the Stars he needs to win.]]

* GameMod: "100% Runaway Guys", which swaps out the guys' character choices with their own avatars, complete with copious amounts of memes and {{Running Gag}}s. You can even snag it from the Steam Workshop if you'd like, linked [[https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2531980833 right here.]]

* MythologyGag: In ''Christmas Miracle'', Jon is playing with his own personal mod for Kyousuke equipped, which contains various references to both past memes like [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Pokey]] and his stream culture like [="RosaJon"=]. In ''Space Wanderer'', which was recorded a week after ''Christmas Miracle'', contributing artists put together a mod called "100% Runaway Guys" for the trio, which includes mods for QP and Suguri that replaces their appearances with Chugga and Tim accordingly, both of which contain multiple references to their past work.

** In ''Space Wanderer'', [[spoiler:Jon successfully whittles down the boss's HP to 0 after repeated attempts to fight it and wins a massive payload of Stars, giving him enough to win the game. He then loses half of his stash to a random Chicken while at 1 HP]]. This causes him to lose the game, as [[spoiler:while he does regain his norma condition while dead, a random warp sends him seven spaces from his base while still dead. In the meantime, Chugga gets warped five spaces from his own home and revives, then lands on the Battle space right in front of his own home, encounters the Chicken that killed Jon, kills it, and ''wins Jon's stars'', then wins the game on the following turn. Jon proceeds to ''flip out'' at how the game effectively robbed him of a victory due to a cascade of sheer bad luck in the last three minutes of the game.]]
