* KlingonPromotion: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WWfKhjIbGk Monarch]]", the crew plays with the monarch mechanic, but take it UpToEleven by having the winner roleplay their monarch status and keeping at it beyond games. The status gets passed from person to person as each member challenges and defeats the crown holder.

* KlingonPromotion: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WWfKhjIbGk Monarch]]", the crew plays with the monarch mechanic, but take it UpToEleven quite a bit farther by having the winner roleplay their monarch status and keeping at it beyond games. The status gets passed from person to person as each member challenges and defeats the crown holder.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Malaproper}}: Gibb constantly wrongly announces the names of his cards and game terminology as he plays.
* MushroomSamba: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bnUtkiLVEQ The Next Day]]", James returns to the Moonbase to find it in shambles and everyone else completely disoriented. Flashbacks to what really happened don't match up and make about as much sense in context as out, making it seem like they were exposed to a hallucinogen. Turns out it's the fault of a pest fumigation taking place next door.
* TheOner: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW9ykWkJfj4 Commandeered]]" comprises a shot panning around a gridlocked Commander game as Paul, Kathleen, Cameron and Graham try to maneuver through it to finish the game.


Added DiffLines:

* TwoScenesOneDialogue: Uses this trope a lot for scene transitions.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: [[spoiler:Geoff says this almost verbatim after being kicked in the balls by Paul's ball-kicking robot]].
* AdultFear: Kathleen's suggestion for Halloween decorations is the entire summary of the UN Summit on climate change.
--> ''Have you read it? Its horrifying!''

Deleted Five Man Band example: zero-context. Part of TRS Wick Cleaning - cannot expand due to unfamiliarity.


* FiveManBand: When the "Gang" of Loading Ready Runners join a different gang, their new leader Kate assigns them Five Man Band-esque roles, though this barely lasts an episode:
** Kate as TheHero, of course.
** James, as one of the few guys with common sense, is [[TheLancer The Fixer]]. This is the only role that sticks after the assignment.
** Jeremy is TheSmartGuy.
** Bill, being insanely tall, is TheBigGuy.
** And Matt, the ButtMonkey is [[TheChick The Girl]]. Why? Because Kate's already leader.
*** He makes a terrible girl though.
---->'''Matt:''' Maybe it's because of my ''PENIS!''

* AllForNothing: In "Quizmasters" Cam and Kathleen make their own complicated version of the Ravnica guild quiz after they get guilds they don't identify with. (Boros and Izzet respectively) When they finally finish, however, Cameron gets the same result.

* TheLoonie: Adam's Commander deck in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA-izEO-v8c Hold Priority]] is designed solely to disrupt everyone else's strategies and combat. He openly admits he doesn't even know how it could win.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
adorkable cleanup, now it's YMMV. removing misuse and ZCE, and moving appropriate examples to YMMV


* {{Adorkable}}: Kathleen finds Graham's roleplaying past "adorable" and later gets into it herself. Most of the crew count to some degree or another.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Paul's run up against this trope a couple times. His Laugh-O-Tron took over one Moonbase, and "Blame James" has the offscreen example of the File-O-Tron which manages to cripple the International Standards Organization (and apparently the entirety of ''Geneva'') when it runs amok.



** Cameron's word choice over Beej using VR to "merge" with the parking lot complex in "Stake Out" implies that Beej has done something similar ([[Film/TheLawnmowerMan "gone full LawnmowerMan"]]) before.

Added DiffLines:

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: An extremely low-key version that's PlayedForLaughs in "Kitted Out". James forces almost everyone to undergo a series of ridiculous [[spoiler:(and completely unnecessary)]] tests to see if they're worth taking to [=PAX=] as retribution for the pranks pulled on him in absentia during "Blame James"- having his dayplanner messed with, geting "#[=BlameJames=]" trending on Twitter, being permanently banned from anything involving the [=ISO=] and a ten year ban on being able to enter Switzerland.

* ExactWords: Graham's signature deck ''Bear Force One'' contains only bear spells. That can mean actual bear creatures, 2/2 for 2 creatures (which are referred to as "bears" by players), enchantments that create bears of either type, or just cards that happen to have bears on the art.
** The deck even includes cards with just "bear" in the name. As demonstrated when he plays Forebear's Blade:
--->'''Graham''': It's literally four bears, my dude.

** "Coffee Time" establishes that Beej did... things before dropping the coffee habit. He refuses to elaborate and apparently went to some lengths to erase all mention from the internet. It's not ''explicitly'' connected to how the the same episode established that his wife knows how to distill [[KlatchianCoffee The Coffee of Life]] but the odds seem high.
