The fanbase is reveling in their beloved YouTubers, especially in the alliances!

General

  • Mr. (Joey) Teaseceffa: Coined on Tumblr after a lot of teasing from the Teasing Creator about Season 4.
  • The Idiot Savant: For Joey, after his role and his tendency to make stupid decisions, and also a Pun for the Trope.
  • The Ultimate Cinnamon Roll: Rosanna
  • Cthulhu: The Cursed God, after leaked pictures of him revealed him to resemble the character.
    • Sometimes, he is also known as Cthulhu Squidward, courtesy of the Film Theory episode on the series, released on the same day as the first episodes of Season 4.
  • Episode 9 Heartbreaker: The main death of Episode 9, due to the trend where a tearjerker death occurs.

Season 1

  • In order to extract their respective parts of the antidote to save Shane in Episode 1, the groups formed have each received their own nicknames.
    • Team Mountaintop: GloZell, Eva and Joey, who were supposed to look for the key hidden upon a "mountaintop".
    • Team Book: Tim, Andrea, Justine and Sierra, who had to go through a Maths puzzle on a book to do their part.
    • Team Box: Matt, Lele and Oli, who needed to maneuver objects in a box puzzle to do their part.
  • The ExorSix: The Final 6 of the season (Joey excluded), who all happen to be alive in Episode 6 (where exorcisms are a common theme, as demonstrated by the title, 'Did Somebody Call For An Exorcist?').
  • Nadeshit: Insult frequently used by Lele to annoy Matt. Comes from Matt's YouTube account called 'Nadeshot'.

Season 2

  • Tana Montana: Tana, by Jesse behind the scenes.
  • The TAT Alliance: The Episode 6 alliance of Tyler, Alex and Tana.
  • The Pinky Alliance: Tyler and Joey, after they made an alliance in Episode 8 with a Pinky Swear.

Season 3

  • Kerrie: A name for the unnamed Monster Clown leader. Her face is a Memetic Mutation. Also known as Meme Queen due to this.
  • Team Panties: The trio captured to the RV by the Monster Clown gang in Episode 1 — Roi, Colleen and Joey. Named for a scene where they had to look for "delicates", i.e. panties, and resulting in some funny and iconic quotes.
  • MRS: Fun with Acronyms for MatPat, Rosanna and Safiya. Probably the group most adored by the fandom.
  • Stupid Plot Twist™: An event — when Safiya was fishhooked by Willie in Episode 7. It has become a severe case of It Was His Sled, and remains the Berserk Button of many a fan.
  • Mean Girls: Manny and Nikita. Joey compared them to this during Episode 8, and the fandom happily adopted the nickname. Are also known as the Sass Squad.
    • Boy Scouts: Matt and Rosanna, from the same source.
  • Troublesome Justice: Matt and Nikita
  • From the beginning of the Possession AU, we have the Unlucky Number Twelve series, wherein the Monster Clown gang are The Nicknamer and every YouTuber receives their own — other than Jc and Roi, who are known by their personas instead of a brand new nickname.
    • Little Orphan Annie: Rosanna
    • Pretty Boy: Manny
    • Hottie in (the) Brown Sparkles: Colleen
    • Pretty in Pink: Nikita
    • Mr. Detective: MatPat
    • Morticia: Safiya
    • Gal in Red: Teala
    • Mr. Half-Dead: Joey
  • Bat Queen: Safiya, oddly enough.
    • The fandom also uses a short form of her name, Saf.
  • Some parts of the fandom enjoy comparing the Season 3 cast with members of the cast from previous seasons, usually referring to The Smart Guy.
    • Eva but Dead: Safiya
    • Alex but Alive: MatPat
  • The Confessional Chatterbox: Manny, due to his Motor Mouth on Confession Cam — some parts of the fandom actually timed the average time spent on confessions for each YouTuber in Season 3.
