* PoesLaw: This is the focus of the SincerityMode video "Snopes vs. Babylon Bee". Snopes, a website focused on fact checking news articles, and Facebook both came under fire for treating the satirical Christian website Website/BabylonBee as a legitimate news source that needed fact checking. Yet the headlines for some of their articles include gems like "Did Democrats Demand That Brett Kavanaugh Submit to a DNA Test to Prove He's Not Actually Hitler?" and "CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine to Spin News Before Publication". Snopes did damage control by labeling the Babylon Bee as satire after the backlash, but the damage to their reputation had already done

* RageBreakingPoint: In the Debunkers video "Conservatives are more Extreme", the Debunkers clearly get fed up with the liberal bias of the video they're analyzing, as they lose their stoic demeanor several times and go on several angry rants. The video tries to shift all the blame for the current political climate in America on the political right, and when the video gives an example of conservatives being extremist, the Debunkers point to examples of leftists doing something similar when Donald Trump was in office. The video shows an old clip of Republican Senator Mitch [=McConnell=] saying Republicans must do everything they can to undermine Barack Obama so he doesn't get elected to a second term in office. Cue the Debunkers showing a clip of Democratic Senator Nancy Pelosi encouraging Democrats to do the same thing to Donald Trump. The video also points to the time Republicans did everything they could to undermine Obama's pick for the Supreme Court from being put in office. The Debunkers bring up both Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. They also point out the smear campaigns those two had to endure from the mainstream media, which is something Obama's pick didn't have to endure.

* StrawmanFallacy: Through the use of actual strawmen

* WhiteMansBurden: The video "Muslim Representation" plays with this idea. The Echo Chamber is trying to celebrate the fact that [[ShowWithinAShow The Police Show]] has introduced a transgendered, homosexual Muslim character. However, guest speaker Muhammad, who is Muslim, doesn't see the character as proper representation. Instead, he sees the character as a mouthpiece for white writers to promote their political ideology.

* SpoofedWithTheirOwnWords: This is his usual way of mocking Joe Biden:

* SpoofedWithTheirOwnWords: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRJh4KGynOI this video]], Seamus simply provides animation for a rambling Joe biden quote about 1.2 billion something and stacking spaghetti sauce.

* NotSoDifferent: In the "Nazis vs. Commies" episode of "Debates with Strawmen" both strawmen are shown to be bronies due to their "My Little Pony" t-shirts, just that the word "My" is translated to "Mein" for the Nazi and "Mao" for the Communist. They also end up forming an alliance at the end after realizing [[TheHorseshoeEffect their ideologies have killed a lot of people]].

* DoubleStandard: Mercilessly parodied in [[https://youtu.be/thSc9k6M9pY "HOW TO CRITICIZE THE LEFT"]]. Dr. Mac hosts a game show called "Dilute That Criticism" that is about exactly this.

* AppealToConsequences: Parodied. Ben Shapiro's response to the healthcare debate is to assert that free healthcare amounts to "stealing the labor of doctors", which means doctors are slaves, which means doctors will be forced to work on plantations, which means some doctors will be raped by their slave masters, so what happens to the half-doctor half-human babies born as a result of free healthcare?

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Dr. Mac may be an amoral journalist who regularly attempts to keep the public misinformed and assists the DNC in their schemes, but when Bernie Sanders praises multiple historical dictators for minor good deeds in "Bernie and Biden debate coronavirus", he and Biden both turn on him, with Dr. Mac asking if he has any shame.
** He also appears to be outraged by sexual harassment committed by the "Biden bros" before Biden shows up to [[OutOfCharacterMoment intimidate him into dropping the story]].

-->'''Biden:''' ''I don't know where I am...honestly I'm frightened, I wish someone would hold my hand. I'm not a madman. I just have trouble thinking 'Why would they make me the frontman?'!''
-->'''Trump:''' ''So sad the DNC would abuse the elderly just to try to get at me,'' ''[[SelfFulfillingProphecy they'll get me reelected!]]''

* HypnoPendulum: In "Dem Debate 2: Electoral Boogaloo", Marianne Williamson attempts to hypnotize the other Democrats and the studio audience to vote for her.

** This is the bread and butter of "The Debunkers" series, which stars two men living in a bomb shelter who spend their free time debunking Youtube videos. If a video they're analyzing gives a statistic, they'll cite the full context of the statistic which usually gives off a different impression than the out-of-context statistic implies:

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: "Liberals on Women's Issues" portrays Dr. Mac, the host of The Echo Chamber, as this when it comes to women's issues. Every issue he lists is just a different way to say abortion, and guest speaker Jackie ca

* CycleOfRevenge: "Rioting: Only Ok When We Do It!" shows Democrats and Republicans repeatedly resorting to violence in response to the other side's rioting while utterly refusing to condemn their own side until they finally destroy the Earth.

** "Defusing Radical Islam" mocks those who are more upset by (alleged) verbal attacks on Islam than by acts of Islamic terrorism.

* SkewedPriorities:

** "The Never Trumper" mocks people who are more offended by President Trump's tweets than by government corruption.

* AllJustADream: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I80Wbow3pcA&ab_channel=FreedomToons Amy Coney Barrett Goes To The Senate]]", when Amy Coney shows the court her notes, everything in the world suddenly becomes Christian/Catholic... only that it's everyone's imagination.

''[=FreedomToons=]'' is an American animated political comedy series on Website/YouTube, created by Seamus Coughlin. It can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRXnOs1rjfLMYrtZ-0n29NA here]].

* StrawCapitalist: If The Debunkers appear outside of their series, they're usually being used to strawman any aspect of capitalism that Seamus doesn't like.

* StealthPun: He doesn't say it outright, but Seamus seems to be referencing the 'Clown World' meme in "JBP, Trump's Wind Mill Cancer, Jussie Smollett", focused on various short skits depicting a [[WorldGoneMad Bizarro upside-down world]] where Jordan Peterson's refusal to use NewSpeak causes Trans people to literally [[RetGone stop existing]], President Trump develops cancer from exposure to constant media windmills, and Jussie Smollet is vindicated as a saint

** This becomes a LiteralMetaphor in the recurring "Debates with Strawmen", where each side of a debate is depicted as an actual strawman who unironically argues the most extreme possible caricture of their side's position on a given topic.
