* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: An OverlyLongGag in "C.R.U.S.T." involves each of the actors repeating the name of the Colossal Repository of Unused Stratagems, culminating in the Administrator saying a NonSequitur.
-->'''Pyro''': [''muffled''] The Colossal Repository of Unused Stratagems?\\
'''Demoman''': The Colossal Repository of Unused Stratagems?\\
'''Sniper''': The Colossal Repository of Unused Stratagems?\\
'''Heavy''': The Colossal Repository of Unused Stratagems?\\
'''Administrator''': The point is now available for capture!\\
'''Sniper''': [''{{beat}}''] Right, well, I suppose I should've seen that one coming.

* AdaptedOut: Scout, Soldier and Engineer do not appear in any of these videos. Soldier being absent is expected due to Rick May passing away in 2020. Meanwhile, Nathan Vetterlein had gone on hiatus when the series was being made and Grant Goodeve is notorious for being a ReclusiveArtist.

* CanonForeigner: Unlike the other major characters, MW does not originate from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''.

** It is revealed that C.R.U.S.T. is actually an acronym meaning Colossal Repository of Unused Stratagems.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When MW is asked by the Sniper who she is, she responds by curtly insisting that she was not laughing at him, even though he never accused her of that.

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: The Medic's videos occasionally have inanimate objects (like rocks and grass) suddenly start speaking in a low demonic voice. However, we're seeing things from the perspective of Medic (who is already a MadScientist with little grasp on sanity), and it's later revealed that the Medic was hallucinating from a drug... assuming that this revelation isn't just another hallucination!

* BigNo: Pyro, over the downed MW, in "Battle of the Bread Part 1". [[spoiler: [[IGotBetter She gets better.]]]] [[spoiler: Then it happens again. Including the recovery.]]

* FoodFight: The Battle of the Breads.

* ParodyProductPlacement: In "Medic Escapes" and "Gratuitous Product Placement or One Sweet Ride", it's a major plot point that the mercs need ''The King of Average'' by Gary Schwartz (and may need to order it online), but everyone (except Medic) has a copy of ''Dancing with Eternity'' by John Patrick Lowrie instead. The latter video ends with the mercs getting inside a 2008 Toyota Corolla, which Spy emphasizes as being "one sweet ride". Given the title of the latter video, this product placement is certainly PlayedForLaughs.

''Search for Sandvich'' (as titled in John Patrick Lowrie's tweets), also known as ''[=TF2WTSFTS=]'' and [[FanNickname nicknamed]] ''The Sandvich Saga'' by fans, is a series of videos posted on Website/{{Twitter}} and Website/YouTube by Creator/RobinAtkinDownes and John Patrick Lowrie beginning in September 2022. These comedic videos feature Lowrie (Sniper), Downes (Medic), Gary Schwartz (Demoman/Heavy), Creator/EllenMcLain (Administrator), Dennis Bateman (Spy/Pyro), and Creator/NolanNorth (Merasmus) [[RoleReprise reprising their roles]] from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', acting in-character as they search for a sandwich in various locales. When Medic gets separated from the rest of the group, they start searching for him as well. It's clearly an {{excuse|Plot}} for the actors to get together and have fun, and the audience has just as much fun with them.

* AscendedExtra: The Giggling Secretary from the background of "the Plot Thickens!" returns in "Out to Sea!", this time directly interacting with Sniper and having dialogue. She has an even bigger role and more dialogue in "C.R.U.S.T."

* OhCrap: In "Out to Sea!", the mercs react with horror when they discover that the Giggling Secretary left the remains of an eaten sandwich on her plate.

** The Giggling Secretary from ''Series/TwinPeaks'' makes a [[TheCameo cameo]] while the mercs are in Twin Peaks.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: When the Giggling Secretary is asked by the Sniper who she is, she responds by curtly insisting that she was not laughing at him, even though he never accused her of that.
-->'''Giggling Secretary''': I was not laughing at you, I was laughing at my book!

* AscendedExtra: The Giggling Secretary from the background of "the Plot Thickens!" returns in "Out to Sea!", this time directly interacting with Sniper and having dialogue.

''Search for Sandvich'' installments include:

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: The Medic suddenly demonstrates the ancient ability of the mind-meld to communicate with the rest of the mercs from afar.

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: The Medic's videos occasionally have inanimate objects (like rocks and grass) suddenly start speaking in a low demonic voice. Given that this is the Medic, who is a MadScientist with little grasp on sanity, it's likely that we're seeing things from his crazy perspective.

* AdaptedOut: Scout, Soldier and Engineer do not appear in any of these videos. Soldier being absent is expected due to Rick May having passed away in 2020, Nathan Vetterlein had gone on hiatus when the series was being made, and Grant Goodeve is notorious for being a ReclusiveArtist.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In "the Plot Thickens!", the mercs find a bakery with sandwiches... but they've lost the Medic, so they leave the bakery without a sandwich so they can start looking for the Medic too.

* AdaptedOut: Scout, Soldier and Engineer do not appear in any of these videos. Soldier being absent is expected due to Rick May having passed away two years ago, Nathan Vetterlein had gone on hiatus when the series was being made, and Grant Goodeve is notorious for being a ReclusiveArtist.

* MissedHimByThatMuch: The Sniper asks the woman at the Stanley Hotel gift shop if they happen to have any sandwiches. She reveals that they gave away free sandwiches the day before, and Sniper just missed it.
