* AnalogyBackfire: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQLfgaUoQCw St. Patrick's Bad Analogies]], Patrick tries to devise simplified analogies to explain the Trinity to uneducated Irish peasants, who then call out every single one of them (including the iconic shamrock) as a heresy.

* PurelyAestheticEra: The Donall and Conall videos are nominally set in 5th-century Ireland, but they regularly make references to modern technology and pop culture, and present-day figures like Richard Dawkins sometimes appear in them. This gets {{Lampshaded}} in "Saint Patrick's Bad Analogies" after Donall makes a ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' reference.
