In general
- The name of the podcast is a layered joke; Every Frame a Pause is a self-deprecating jab at how they'll take hours analyzing nearly every aspect of what they're covering, causing relatively short videos to be covered over a course of many hours. As for the abbreviation, EFAP, there's not much needed to be explained
- Anything that makes it into GDELB will almost always qualify as this for the sheer nonsensical nature of what's being said in what they're covering.
EFAP Episodes
All men are endowed by their creator with the unalienable right to like
The Last Jedi.
- In the EFAP on Patrick Willems's video on TLJ, Patrick calls the bizarre milking alien one of his favorite new additions to the Star Wars franchise. This results in a full 30 seconds of uninterrupted laughter from MauLer, Wolf and Appabend.
- From EFAP #3: When the gang make fun of Jonathan McIntosh’s weird pronunciation of Rose Tico’s last name (he pronounces it as Tie-ko instead of Tee-ko, like most people do), leading to a few jokes at both him and Rose’s expense.
- From EFAP #29: The memes of John Adams, as a spider, specifically transcribing in the Bill of Rights that all men have the right to like The Last Jedi. Nuff said.
- "A Hollywood poll shows that the majority of people hate mundanematt despite him having subscribers."
- From EFAP #36: The birth of "The Don", the biker beat up by Carol Danvers in a deleted scene from Captain Marvel, as the true hero of the film. MauLer, along with guests Rags, Fringy, Robot Head, and Cosmoronic, concoct an origin story of the biker as an altruistic war veteran whose wife died of cancer six months ago and tried flirting with Carol because his friends told him that he should hit the dating scene again so he could move on. He got his motorcycle, now stolen by Carol, as a gift from his wife before her untimely death. It gets darker (and funnier) from there. Then the chat gets littered with hashtags in support of The Don, which makes the hosts and guests lose it. Such highlights include #IStandWithDon, #DonLivesMatter, #NoOnesEverReallyDon, #DonWick, etc.
- EFAP #37 contains a review of Browntable's video defending Captain Marvel when the deleted scene of her beating up The Don came up. After he called the biker a douche, the chat lights up in defense of their new hero born in the previous EFAP.
- From EFAP #48:
- The bizarre font Browntable uses for "What Makes Good Art?" is so heavily stylized that MauLer misreads "Art" as "Rat", leading to a debate over "What makes good rat?"
- The Running Gag where one video consists of a Powerpoint Presentation from Remarkable Republican that didn't edit out speaker icons from video/audio clips. The placement leads them to conclude Darth Vader repeatedly throws "loud soup" at people.
- "Oh! There really was a Vietnam War?"
- In EFAP #50 Part 3, they enjoy some memes. One meme in particular caused Rags to absolutely lose it.
- The best part, Rags killed himself with his own joke. The Ocean Man singer was Rags himself.
- From EFAP #54: A drunk MauLer researches the Isle of Man (which he pronounces as Is Lay of Man) and takes a look at its flag. He loses it completely. You can watch the moment here.
- The whole "Does it hurt?" joke. When reading leaks for The Rise of Skywalker in EFAP #60, they get to the point where it discusses how Kylo is informing Rey about the true nature of her parents (in which they were killed trying to protect her rather than them abandoning them for booze money), which angers her, confusing those reading the leaks as to why she'd get upset, as that makes her parents better people. MauLer posits that the Sith dagger triggered some memories confirming that to be true and that she was mad a Kylo for lying to her. Ryan (one of the guests) suggests that she's mad because he uses the dyad power to watch her as she's on the toilet, to which Rags responds "He just likes to watch girls shit." Everyone on stream bursts into laughter.
- In EFAP #90, MauLer and Rags, along with guests Chaseface, MarkAfterDark, and CryMor Gaming, make jokes about how Wilford Brimley is (at the time of the stream) "the guy who is still alive," and how if you were to eliminate all the people who have died (of which include Julius Caesar and Hitler), the first result would be Wilford Brimley.
CryMor Gaming: Hey, you know that guy who's still alive?
CryMor Gaming: Yeah!
(everyone bursts out laughing)
MauLer: Like, they don't know it's him, they're like "Oh, did you know Wilford Brimley?", and he's like "
What?" and they go "when did he die? How old was he?"
Rags: I can't believe it, I felt like when he died, such an important part of our world just, oh, it's just gone. There's just an empty void where he used to be.
- In EFAP #95, everything seems to be going normally, with MauLer, Rags, and guests The Critical Drinker and Az from HeelsVsBabyFace covering a video from Dave Lee Down Under... only for chat to inform them that they had already covered the video in EFAP #43. And as it turns out, Nerdrotic (who was yet to arrive to #95) was also on EFAP #43.
Rags: Did you re-invite him to rewatch a video he had already seen?
MauLer: Dude, that would have been such a crazy coincidence!
- Shadiversity's Christmas speech in EFAP #100-1, which leaves Rags speechless
MauLer: (to Shad) Which is better, Halloween or Christmas. I already know what your answer's gonna be.
Shadiversity: Well, that question's kind of odd, because it's plain to see beyond any doubt that Halloween is the retarded inbred cousin, simping beta cuck to the alpha chad that is Christmas.
MauLer: Wow.
Shadiversity: Halloween is the festering pussy boil on the otherwise pristine shining ass of Christmas. Halloween is Shepard's Pie, made with
crap, where Christmas is the glorious
Spaghetti Bolognese. Halloween is
Captain Marvel where Christmas is
The Don.
MauLer: *gasps*
- The first video they cover in EFAP #101 has quite a few instances of this.
- First off, MauLer & co. quickly find out that the video quality only goes up to 240p, rendering any screenshots with text unreadable.
- At one point in the video, it seems to have setup for a counter for MauLer's The Last Jedi rage. Instead, it just immediately moves on to AnomalyInc.'s portion of the video without ever mentioning the TLJ rage in the video again.
- Something similar happens earlier in the video when The Infamous goes through E;R's video on the The Force Awakens and everyone expects him to rip into E;R but concludes instead that he's "more of a comedian than a critic" before moving on. Everyone's surprise and confusion only multiplies when he says later that Shadiversity should "get off YouTube."
Rags: This guy thinks
E;R can stay but
Shad's gotta go!
- During the portion of the video discussing AnomalyInc., the video creator ends up jumbling his words trying to say "hidden subtleties", ending up saying "hiddel subbeldees". Similar to the creation of the EFAP philosopher Bigideas, this misspeak leads to the creation of a German Philosopher named Hiddel Subbeldees who's always drunk.
