** Season 1 Episode 6 has Sam doing a [[{{WebVideo/LooneyTunesIntroBloopers}} tantrum]], which was a sign of the start of CD-i Intro Bloopers where that tantrum effect became a running gag in.

** The [[{{WebVideo/LooneyTunesIntroBloopers}} Scary Logos Clan]].

* StraightManAndWiseGuy: In S4EP3, Sam's current self is the straight man to his 2013 self as the wise guy.

* {{Art Evolution}}:

* {{Big NO}}: Sam especially during the first 5 episodes of Season 1. Zig-zagged after Episode 6, and averted as of Season 3 Episode 5.
* {{Breaking the Fourth Wall}}:

* {{But Thou Must}}: The good choices on an error are most likely to be [[{{Trap is the Only Option}} greyed out, leaving Sam to choose the most unnecessary or dangerous choices]].
* {{Cerebus Syndrome}}: The season finales and some of Season 2 focused more on the story than in the mainstream episodes.

* {{Christmas Episode}}:
** Unlike [[{{Halloween Special}} the > 2014 Halloween Special,]] The Christmas Specials are not standard episodes in the Funny Windows Errors series. Instead, they are Special Series episodes. The first special was "Microsoft Sam's Christmas Special 2013", and the second was for 2014. The 2015 special was being merged for the 2016 special due to creating all the resources and lacking internet for tutorials at Ace's Christmas Vacation area at the time.
* {{Continuity Nod}}:
** The Rift to Earth I's Remains has returned, as well as its background music, has returned in Season 3 Episode 6, over 1 1/2 years since it was last used.

* {{Contrasting Sequel Main Character}}: As of Season 3 Episode 5, Sam has changed from a [[{{Large Ham}} melodramatic]] to a calmer, and more silent personality, as well as [[AuthorAvatar Ace]], whose voice has changed from youthful and robotic, to more [[TheStoic expressionless]].
* {{Darker and Edgier}}:
** As of Season 1 Episode 6 but downplayed at that time. Played straight since Season 1 Episode 8.
** Since Season 3 Episode 7 or later, the characters' behaviors have changed, truly playing the trope straight: They no longer use childish language, and has instead changed to a more manly setting.
* {{Department of Redundancy Department}}:
** "[[{{UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows}} Windows XP]] needs to update update your updating computer update because someone threw coffee on their keyboard so update your updater....Update update Windows XP now" - from an error in Season 1 Episode 7.
* {{Early Installment Weirdness}}:
** [[{{Punny Name}} Talkingsoft Speechdows]] was the very predecessor of this series. It had two episodes and ran between September 26, and October 2, 2013. In that series, Microsoft Sam, and the content in general, was made to act childish and very immature, [[OldShame and it was later admitted by the creator.]] Season 1 Episodes 5, and 6-7 of Funny Windows Errors (the succeeding series) downplays this, however. The behavior has ended since their succeeding episodes.

* {{Excuse Plot}}: Season 1 Episode 5, some of Season 2, and the final half of Season 3 are possible exceptions.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The ending of Season 3 Episode 6 has the late 2013 design for Microsoft Sam appearing after the end credits. [[spoiler:This foreshadows the scene where all of the 2013 designs appear in Sam's room to scold him for throwing them out.]]
* {{Halloween Special}}: Season 2 Episode 4 in 2014, and Season 3 Episode 7 in 2016. The 2013 Halloween Special was its own Special Series video especially because the Funny Windows Errors series did not start until February 2014.

* {{Heroic BSOD}}: In Season 3 Episode 4 where Sam read a fanfiction that he considered tragic. Him reading it was [[{{Relax o Vision}} skipped by using a time card.]]

** Unlike [[{{Halloween Special}} the > 2014 Halloween Special,]] The Christmas Specials are not standard episodes in the Funny Windows Errors series. Instead, they are Special Series episodes. The first special was "Microsoft Sam's Christmas Special 2013", [[{{CaptainObvious}} and the second was for 2014.]] The 2015 special was being merged for the 2016 special due to creating all the resources and lacking internet for tutorials at Ace's Christmas Vacation area at the time.

* [[{{SatchelSwitcheroo}} Present Switcheroo]]: In the Christmas Specials, Bacon wanted [[{{CaptainObvious}} bacon]], and Scotty wanted baloney sandwiches. The presents that they wanted were switched with each other. [[StatusQuoIsGod This has continued since the beginning, the 2013 special.]]

* {{Stuff Blowing Up}}: The beginning of Season 2 especially. Lampshaded when an error says that the series would be directed by {{Creator/Michael Bay}}. It has [[{{CaptainObvious}} never happened, and never will.]]

The [[{{Left Hanging}} last episode that was released before the account closure]] was [[{{Rule of Three}} Season 3]] Episode 4. This series has 11 episodes per season. The series was [[{{Subverted Trope}} later resumed]] in July 2016 with Season 3 Episode 5 when Ace got a new YouTube channel, but that episode was originally made in May of that year.

* OrwellianRetcon: several episodes of Season 1 and Talkingsoft Speechdows have been dramatically altered to remove UnfortunateImplications and personal information. This trope may be played to a higher level especially if the creator needs to reupload them to his new [=YouTube=] channel.

* InterruptionMeme: At the end of MSSAM TV Episode 1 the Remake.

** Exaggerated in that same episode by using almost entirely errors that was used in Mac Voices Reads Funny Windows Errors THE FIRST, which was [[{{One Episode Wonder}} cancelled after only one episode]]. Besides that, the Moving Victoria Virus was mentioned, but was [[{{DefiedTrope}} defied]] when the Ancient Joke Police censored it.

* {{Elmuh Fudd Syndwome}}: At the end of MSSAM TV Episode I The Remake, the captions have changed to this, as well as HulkSpeak. Lampshaded by Sam by threatening the captions worker to allow him to take over his position.

* {{Versus Character Splash}}: The beginning of the battle scene in the Season 2 Finale.

* {{Butlerspace}}: Despite not living in Sam's house, Mike, or Mary, will always appear [[InformedAttribute when Sam says that they talk like their opposite gender.]]

** Starting from Season 3 Episode 6, the series has gradually transitioned from goofy and lighthearted to [[DarkerAndEdgier more serious and action-like]] when more storylines and character developments are added to give a purpose for running the series. [[note]] Notably with Sam. Because of his character development, he only reserves commentary and speeches for when reading errors instead of between story transitions, such as in Season 1. Also, his voice has deepened and his use of humor has dramatically decreased.[[/note]]
