Strange Minds Think Alike / Web Original

---

• Achievement Hunter consistently prove that, as they say, they've been working together too long.
  • Let's Play Fibbage; the game asks what a culinary guru used to pioneer an unusual technique of cooking duck. Ray ends up writing "Smegma" (DON'T look that up with Safesearch off). When the results are shown, it's revealed that Michael wrote the exact same thing! The latter cracks up upon seeing this. It also gave Ray an achievement he thought he'd have to boost to get.
  • Their joint Let's Play of Fibbage 2 with Funhaus had a question about an unusual turf war. Jeremy and Gavin both wrote "Blades of Grass", while the real answer was "Ice Cream Men".
  • The WWE Let's Plays tend to have this with the character-created characters, but the second session (2K14) is the standout example. The six created characters are Yarrgarita (Geoff), wearing a towel around his waist, Mr Diddlez (Ray), a champion of diddling ashamed of himself also in a towel, Gavin and Michael's...abominations, whose names of "Blue Anus" and "Dick Demolisher" both got censored, and Beardo V2 and An Inconvenience (Jack and Ryan) are fat and buff at the same time with weirdly coloured faces. The group regret that they didn't do a tag-team match.
  • Let's Play Quiplash, both parts.
    • The first game has the first round devolve into racism; including "Hitler" as the answer in separate questions. The second round devolves into insulting Gavin. There's also the gem of "The worst secret to come out over Thanksgiving." The answers? "Dad fucks turkeys" from Michael, and from actual dad Ryan, "I fucked the turkey. And the cranberry sauce." The gang are well aware of this trope.
    • The RouLetsPlay of the second has two primary examples; "A weird thing for a baseball umpire to lean down and say to catcher." Jack and Michael put down, "I want to lick your butthole," and "I want to lick your taint", sending them and Lindsay into gales of laughter, while the others curse them (and Jeremy can tell who wrote what simply based on the words). The second example comes from Happily Married parents Lindsay and Michael (Gavin is quite particular at expressing his displeasure that they wrote those after having "made a baby"); "The worst part about dating a magician", with "Pulling a rabbit out of their twat", and "Rabbits keep coming out of my vagina".
    Michael: (Upon seeing the answers) Fucking what?!
    • Michael had actually been involved in four cases during that particular RouLetsPlay. He had gone with the same idea as Jeremy for "The worst cocktail that ends in 'tini'" (he won with a jab at Jeremy's height), and cleverly outwitted a short-on-time Lannan on "A brand of pants for mermaids" (he wrote 'fishnets', which are an actual kind of mostly lingerie-oriented clothing, to beat Lannan's 'fishsticks').
  • In a stream run independently of Achievement Hunter, former member Ray played Fibbage with seven other people. The game posed the question of what Kevin Spacey's older brother is an impersonator of. Ray wound up entering "Kevin Spacey" and two people went for it. The game goes on to reveal that five other people entered the same answer. This amounts to six out of eight, three quarters of the participants.
  • A Minecraft example, from episode 198. Gavin is climbing to the world ceiling planning to jump onto slime blocks so he could trampoline up and set TNT on the roof of the nearby Jack-built house. Michael quips that missing the slime blocks would suck for Gavin. Independently of the conversation, Jeremy and Geoff silently agree to cover the slime blocks with other blocks in front of Jack. It's after they do so, and Gavin's subsequent inevitable splat, that Ryan reveals he had that exact same idea himself and was en route to enact it.
    Ryan: I ran over here just to do that...
• Used in Avatar: The Abridged Series to explain the Human Popsicle.
  Sokka: In ancient times, people would put giant pieces of chocolate shaped like people in giant blocks of ice. And then, you'd take a funny stick and break it open, and eat the chocolate people like chocolate cannibals.
  (...)
  Aang: That's strange, how'd I end up in an iceberg pinata?
  (...)
  Zuko: That light! It can only be...someone opening an iceberg pinata, and not sharing it with me!
• Damn You Autocorrect has examples thanks to autocorrect dictionaries and sheer numbers. The slutpies, though, are probably a typo, since R and T are so close together.
• In Demo Reel, Donnie DuPre and Rebecca Stone both confuse Batman with Dracula.
• Dragon Ball Z Abridged does this as well. When Krillin calls Nail "Big Green", Nail threatens to break his neck if he says it again...only for Guru to start calling him that.
  • "I was gonna say, "Come and get me, Freeza," but that works too!"
    Freeza: You see, I recently acquired what you people refer to as Dragon Balls, but I've been having trouble getting them to do what I want.
    Nail: Did you try working the shaft?
    Freeza: Classy.
    Super Kami Guru: Nail! What does he want?
    Nail: He's asking how to use the Dragon Balls.
    Super Kami Guru: Did you tell him to work the shaft?
    Nail: Yes, Lord Guru.
    Super Kami Guru: Good work, Nail.
  • When Goku is told that Bulma named her baby Trunks, he laughs about it being a "girl's name". Later, when Vegeta hears that the time traveler (his son from the future) is named Trunks, he says the exact same thing. Even later, when Paragus meets the group, he assumes Vegeta's child is Princess Trunks (though Trunks's long lavender hair might have helped give him that impression).
• In an episode of Eddsworld, Tom comments that Matt's lawn portrait of himself "really captured his grassiness". Matt comments the same thing a minute later.
• In the blog novel Fartago, Farta's wife Balchane tells him to stop looking at Tago's "porn" because it is "demeaning to females." Later, when Tago shows his porn to Artiste, Artiste says, "Eet ees poop. ...and eet demeaning to females."
• Shows up in Gantz Abridged; upon seeing Kishimoto's bloody wrists, Kurono quickly brushes away the idea of her committing suicide and comes to the conclusion that she must've choked on a piece of hamburger while in the bathtub. Much later on, when Hojo asks Kishimoto how she died, she responds by saying that she did actually choke on a hamburger in the bathtub.
• Hellsing Ultimate Abridged:
  • This:
    Alucard: [referring to leprechauns] D'you think if I shot one in the head, Lucky Charms would explode everywhere?
    Anderson: [later, also referring to leprechauns] I've never actually caught one, but do you think if I cut one open with my knife it'd spew out Lucky Charms?
  • In Episode 6, Anderson explains to Hellsing that he defies his master Maxwell's orders on a whim, prompting Hellsing to remark that it's strange to see her relationship with Alucard from the outside. The same episode also has these exchanges:
    Heinkel: That was the last one. Good thing, too: I was afraid you'd run out of bayonets.
    Anderson: Care to correct yourself?
    Heinkel: S-sorry sir! You have bayonets for days!
    Anderson: Bayonets for days.
    (And a bit later)
    Alucard: Sweetheart, I've got so many eyes. Eyes for days.
    Seras: Eyes for days?
    Alucard: Eyes for days.
• Linus Tech Tips: When Linus and co. visit FreeGeek Vancouver he is digging through some old cables and comes across a bunch of PSU couplers to run two power supplies off the same motherboard, and mentions that fellow tech YouTuber Austin Evans could have used them during Scrapyard Wars where he was running a PC with two power supplies. Linus calls over a FG staffer to show them to him, and the staffer says unprompted that Austin could have used them during Scrapyard Wars.
• When The Nostalgia Chick meets former child star Mara Wilson she comments that she's "got boobs now," and that that's really weird to see. Mara replies that she gets that a lot. Later, when Nella comes in she suddenly exclaims that "Matilda, you've got a great rack!" Then tries to touch them.
• Not Always Right has this story about a problem customer at a sandwich shop who insists on having every condiment placed, removed, and replaced on the sandwich several times for no apparent reason. A worker with OCD realizes the customer has the same, so they offer to cover the sandwich with a napkin while assembling it. The commenters acknowledge that's not a solution that would make sense to anybody who doesn't have experience with that particular tic, and even the customer herself seems surprised that she's not triggered once the sandwich is out of sight.
• Cass Cult has a number of mentions of Thor's severe hatred of trees. The authors swear they've never read Order of the Stick. This one might actually be subconscious Fridge Brilliance at work: Thor is the god of, among other things, lightning. So he must be aiming for all those trees.
• Subverted in Pokémon The Abridged Series. When Brock takes too long to find Ash and Misty when they are trapped in a net, Ash concludes that Brock must've been kidnapped by pirates. When Brock rescues them, he starts to tell them he was abducted by pirates, then says he was just kidding.
• Retsupurae: There are times when Diabetus and Slowbeef seem to be operating on the same bizarre mental wavelength as the creators of games they riff:
  • During their Dracula Unleashed riff, they mock the weird voices and behavior of the carriage driver NPC’s by saying they must all be drunk or high while driving. Then late in the game, the protagonist picks up a newspaper with the headline “Police Crackdown On Drunk Carriage Drivers”, sending Diabetus and Slowbeef into hysterical laughter.
  • At the end of Snow Job, Diabetus and a character in the game make the exact same Bond One-Liner, at almost same time, and with near-identical inflection.
• To Boldly Flee:
  • Both Paw Dugan and The Nostalgia Critic seem to be under the impression that Linkara reviews lamps. (He actually reviews comic books.)
  • When designing their house/spaceship, Turrell and Zod add a plant which "really ties the [living] room together." Later, when Angry Joe and MarzGurl are infiltrating the ship they're both really impressed by it.
• In A Very Potter Musical, when Dumbledore is totally outed, he states that he would suck the snake-poison out of Snape, even if it was in his wiener. Later, after Dumbledore dies, Bellatrix casts an "attach-snake-to-wiener" spell on Snape, who comments that he wishes that Dumbledore was there.
• YouTube user TheJimmyJ57 has a series of videos where he modifies the cars from Grand Theft Auto V. In some of them, he goes online and has a contest with other users. One of those involved the Vapid Stanier where he gave the car a pearlescent paint job. (In GTAV, this involves painting it one of 75 metallic colors, then overlaying it with one of 75 pearlescent colors for a total of 5625 combinations.) When he finishes and his opponent gets out of the garage, he discovers his opponent chose the exact same pearlescent color.
• Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series has a few examples.
  • In Episode 53, Noah challenges Kaiba to really prove that he loves Mokuba by daring him to sing the theme song to Mokuba's favorite cartoon. Kaiba improvises wildly with, "Spongepants...Squarebob...He's a friendly little guy..." ("Is that it, am I close?" "No." "Dammit."). Later, Joey tries to cheer up his friends with a singalong, opening up with the lyrics "Spongepants Squarebob, he's a friendly little guy!"
  • In Marik's first Evil Council video, Bakura comes up with the idea to defeat Yugi by spamming his YouTube account with rude messages. Shortly thereafter, Dartz (having formed his own evil council with his motorcycle-riding henchmen after being excluded from Marik's council) decides to defeat Marik by spamming his YouTube account.
