* TheGrotesque: The monsters. The bros repeatedly state that the show isn't a [[invoked:DarknessInducedAudienceApathy cruel, pessimistic show]], it's intended to be a life-affirming show about creating horrible-looking things and finding a reason to love them despite their flaws.

* DeathTakesAHoliday: After disabling most of the game world of ''Fallout 4'', The Final Pam ends up back in the unexploded town from the beginning of the game but where everyone is unkillable. The brothers suggest Pam's [[CursedWithAwesome curse of immortality]] has rubbed off on everyone in 'Heaven'... before realising that they might be in "the other place, the hot one."

** Their first stab at ''[[VideoGame/WWEVideoGames WWE 2K20]]'' was Snack Braff, but after wrapping up his creation, his save file was corrupted by the time they got to playing as him, forcing them to restart the process, this time with Sweet Gene.

* ArcFatigue: InUniverse, the [=McElroys=] get increasingly bored and angry through the three-part ''Spore'' series, as the only reason they haven't finished the game is because it's so buggy it crashes every time they achieve anything. Griffin admits he doesn't like the game and is only playing it out of spite, and both brothers are struggling with finding good comic material since the repetitive gameplay gives them nothing to go with, instead relying on [[MemeticMutation ironic memes]] and jokes about repeating their jokes. The brothers don't even get to the end of the game, instead deciding to stop at the Tribal stage and then giving up because of how little fun they're having.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Griffin invokes this during the Turbovicki vs [[spoiler:the Final Pam]] fight in Monster Mania 2K17 when [[spoiler:Turbovicki manages to do any damage to Pam]], but later decides that [[spoiler:Pam is adhering to the normal rules of wrestling and not using her PhysicalGod powers]], possibly reinstating it as canon again.

** Due to the game's unwieldy interface and it simply crashing several times, the brothers abandon several monsters over the course of the ''Spore'' series. Lampshaded when Justin and Griffin are celebrating making an excellent Shrek {{Expy}}, before Justin suddenly asks "Weren't we supposed to be making the sequel to Dogs?"

** During customization in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'', the two are freaked out by the character's incredibly realistic eyes, not helped by the deliberately shiny sheen they gave to her face.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When first creating their Warrior in ''Black Desert Online'', Griff insists on giving him muscular legs because "you know what you don't expect in a swordfight? Kicks from big meaty legs." Justin wonders if you can even kick in this game. Much later, the bros learn "Chopping Kick" from an NPC and decide to make Borth a "kick-heavy build", dependent on kicking as sole means of attack ("and transportation").
