History WebVideo / Unabridged

** Chris Zito’s first scene has him walking into the office kitchen with blood pouring out of a bullet wound on his arm, followed by him pouring a bottle of alcohol on it and stapling some paper towels over it, all while he swears that what he does on his off hours is his own motherf*cking business. Nick and Kaiser’s reactions indicate that this is not an uncommon occurrence.

--> Zito: "Mother[bleep]er said WHAT?!"

* PoorCommunicationKills: When talking to the mother and the cop on the phone in episode 2, Nick demands to see an exorbitant amount of money when the return happens but neglects to explain further (he wants the people he leaves the kid with to be monetarily well-prepared), understandably leading to them thinking he’s holding the child for a ransom.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In episode 2, Stephan leaves the office (and the rest of the episode) the moment it’s confirmed that Nicj’s “son” is kidnapped and not legally adopted.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: While Stephan’s denial of having broken the office’s coffee machine is sound, he later mentions having hated his former job as a barista and suspiciously denies having broken any coffee machine at '''this''' location. [[spoiler:He didn't do it after all, as while Grant and Kirran were blackout high the previous night they'd gone to the office and smashed the machine for kicks.]]

* CureYourGays: Kaiser was subjected to [[Series/TheMuppets Muppets]]-style videos as a child that were intended to do this. He's pretty sure all they did was make him a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]] and a [[Disney/RobinHood King Richard fanboy]].

*** The police detective who Kirran and Grant work for in episode 3 is played by a different actor each time he appears.

* FiveFiveFive: The child Lani kidnaps in episode 2 gives his mother’s phone number, and this is the only part of it not censored.

* AlliterativeName: After Lani kidnaps a child in episode 2, Grant and Kirran try to make a child star out of him for the gaming content, and they come up with the name Davey Download.

* AtomicFBomb: Lani's response to [[spoiler: Zito stabbing him in the leg]] in episode 4
* AttentionWhore: Lani is so eager for attention that he gets excited when he’s the prime suspect of the “murder case” Grant and Kirran are investigating.
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Lani views himself as the leader of the company (or at times, "Vice CEO") but both Kaiser and Stephan point out that he has no actual authority over anyone.

* CureYourGays: Kaiser was subjected to [[Series/TheMuppets Muppets]]-style videos as a child that were intended to do this. He's pretty sure all they did was make him a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]]. That and King Richard from the Disney version from Disney/RobinHood.

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: The entire plot of the second episode. First, Lani unintentionally kidnaps a lost kid on the street and “adopts” him. Then, when Scott finally persuades him to call his mom and return him, Lani says that she needs to bring a hundred thousand dollars [[SkewedPriorities because most people don't even have a thousand squared away for emergencies]], then hangs up on her. Unsurprisingly this gets the police involved, but during the call with them he ends up hanging up on them.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Lani being a loud kid at the start of vacation reportedly led to a cop tackling him.

** Lani is introduced sleeping in the gaming room while porn plays very loudly on the TV. His subsequent introduction interview then involves him making up several titles for himself while Kaiser yells at him from off-screen that those titles don't actually exist.

--->'''Lani''': They might! One day, they might...
** Chris Zito’s first scene has him walking into the office kitchen with blood pouring out of a bullet wound on his arm, followed by him pouring a bottle of alcohol on it and stapling some paper towels over it, all while he swears that what he does on his off hours is his own motherf*cking business. Lani and Kaiser’s reactions indicate that this is not an uncommon occurrence.

** When Lani flashes back to why he’s afraid of cops in episode 2, there are additional newspaper articles besides the one about him as a child being so loud that a cop tackled him. One of them is a piece reporting on the death of Princess Diana written by someone clearly upset with the editor.
*** The details of Lani’s own article show that the cop who tackled him in his childhood happens to have the same name as the one calling them for the hostage situation, likely being the same person.

* HonoraryUncle: Lani considers Kaiser a terrible one to his “son” in episode 2 when Kaiser insists on returning the child to his actual mother.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Lani is a self-absorbed dumbass who never thinks about the consequences of his actions and often does stuff without thinking, along with claiming that "Vice CEO" isn't good enough of a title for him and that he thinks "Emperor" sounds better.

** Despite the PoliceBrutality mentioned below, it’s implied that the officer who tackled Lani in his childhood kept his job and is in fact the same cop that calls TFS to negotiate the safe return of Lani’s “adopted son.”

* MythologyGag: Scott inexplicably wears an eyepatch throughout episode 3, with the only acknowledgement of it being a “Where did the eyepatch come from?” caption below his name. It's a nod to ''DBZA's'' infamous “Where did that scouter come from?” joke, [[OldShame which has been a source of embarrassment for Scott for close to a decade.]]

* PoliceBrutality: The newspaper report in episode 2 describes a policeman tackling Lani as a child just for being obnoxiously loud after getting out of school, causing his fear of cops in the present day. The article also mentions that the officer’s claims to have only given a verbal warning contradict eyewitness testimony.
* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Lani and Kaiser invoke this in episode 4 when they introduce a company-wide policy that bans any kind of behavior Youtube may deem demonitization-worthy. This includes swearing, discussung drugs in any context, [[HideYourGays being openly gay]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking owning an anime body pillow]].
* PoorCommunicationKills: When talking to the mother and the cop on the phone in episode 2, Lani demands to see an exorbitant amount of money when the return happens but neglects to explain further (he wants the people he leaves the kid with to be monetarily well-prepared), understandably leading to them thinking he’s holding the child for a ransom.
** In Episode 4, the failure of the crew to sit Lani down and tell him to quit with the whole 'forking over cash for swear words' results in Lani [[spoiler: getting stabbed in the leg.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Kaiser (rational, collected, and serious) is the blue, next to Lani's (narcissistic, impulsive, and loud) red.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In episode 2, Stephan leaves the office (and the rest of the episode) the moment it’s confirmed that Lani’s “son” is kidnapped and not legally adopted.

* TakeThat: Episode 4 is one long one directed at Youtube and its over-the-top demonitization practices, pointing out how what is (and isn't) at risk of getting flagged is rife with UnfortunateImplications.

* AtomicFBomb: Lani's response to [[spoiler: Zito stabbing him in the leg]] in episode 4.

* CureYourGays: Kaiser was subjected to [[Series/TheMuppets Muppets]]-style videos as a child that were intended to do this. He's pretty sure all they did was make him a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]]. That and King Richard from the Disney version of ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood''.

* MustHaveCaffeine: Pretty much the only of them who isn't horrified by the broken Mr. Coffee in episode 3 is Stephan. [[spoiler: And Kirran and Grant, who randomly broke it the night before just for a laugh while blackout high]].
* MythologyGag: Scott inexplicably wears an eyepatch throughout episode 3, with the only acknowledgement of it being a “Where did the eyepatch come from?” caption below his name as a nod to the infamous “Where did that scouter come from?” joke that was one of many jokes in early ''DBZA'' that he’s embarrassed about.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Zito [[spoiler: stabs Lani in the leg]] after getting fed up with the swear jar debacle in episode 4.
* ObliviouslyEvil: Lani’s kidnapping a child has primarily self-aggrandizing motives, but it comes from a place of having some idea of good intentions and he clearly doesn’t realize how bad his actions look to the worried mother. He also fails to recognize how irresponsible a father he would make and how dangerous he comes off as when demanding to see money with the kid’s return.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Chris Zito’s first scene has him walking into the office kitchen with blood pouring out of a bullet wound on his arm, followed by him pouring a bottle of alcohol on it and stapling some paper towels over it, all while he swears that what he does on his off hours is his own motherf*cking business. Lani and Kaiser’s reactions indicate that this is not an uncommon occurrence.

* HeelFaceTurn: T.J. Pride the [[CureYourGays gay conversion doll]] shows up in an ad for Skillshare, clearly unhappy about his previous views and trying to grow as a person.

* AdultFear: Most of the BlackComedy in episode 2 plays for laughs the fears of a mother whose son has been kidnapped as is seemingly held for ransom.

* CureYourGays: Kaiser was subjected to [[Series/TheMuppets Muppets]]-style videos as a child that were intended to do this. He's pretty sure all they did was make him a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]]. That and King Richard from the Disney version from [[Disney/RobinHood]].
