- FTA & MykonosFan did eventually do the co-op locally.
- Their playthrough of the (in)famous Bee Movie tie-in game was cut short after 5 episodes due to their copy of the game no longer working.
- Ambiguously Gay: Between FTA and Smoovies, and later between FTA
- Ascended Fangirl: Mia, she's a fan of FTCR & FTA during his time on HFC that made her one day randomly add Gareth on Skype which in turn made her an official FTCR member.
- Bad Boss: Played for Laughs with FTA, who constantly insults and berates his fellow commentators, as well as firing them multiple times over something incredibly petty.
- Big Fun: TJ may be the biggest member of the group, but he is also the most lovable.
- Breakout Character: SSF1991 aka Donnie, the always put-upon Butt-Monkey of the group, has become extremely popular with the fans for his memes and his tenacity with Spinball.
- Catchphrase:
- Ch'yeaah, buddy!
- CHICKEN! (Smoovies)
- Hauppage
- Babababwaaah!(TJ)
- You're fired! (FTA)
- Awesomesauce (FTA)
- Crossover: With Ted, Ryan, Johnny and Lewis of BrainScratch Commentaries who have appeared in parts of various LPs and Podcasts. FTA has also been in a few BSC Commentaries.
- Also with Hellfire Commentaries for various commentaries and charity marathons.
- Deadpan Snarker: Almost everyone, though the levels of "deadpan" may vary.
- Fan Art: People have made this of various FTCR members, and the crew occasionally talks about some of the bad Sonic Fan Art.
- The Nintendothon brought about a slew of memes with the various FTCR members pasted over characters faces, among a load of other stuff.
- Fan Boy: Most of the commentators are this towards Sonic.
- FTA to TMNT, Ian Flynn, and The Megas.
- TJ to Spider-Man, to the point where he actually loves One More Day.
- First-Name Basis: Since the crew are friends outside the internet, they often use their names instead of handles. Gareth is FTA, Stephen is Smoovies, Skyler is SegaSky, Mia is MagneticNeko, Chris is MykonosFan and Donnie is... Donnie.
- Four-Man Band:
- FTA/Smoovies/Chris as The Pervert.
- Skyler as the Only Sane Man and the Butt-Monkey.
- Donnie as the Butt-Monkey.
- Gag Dub: "Sonic 3&K" by the "Hellfire Boys", which can be seen here.
- Genki Girl: Inverted. TJ is a genki guy.
- Guest-Star Party Member: Guests in LPs, Podcasts and other videos, from friends of the crewmembers, to people working for SEGA, to people added at random (Sonic 3D Blast).
- The Hyena: FTA, full stop. Every third remark levied by his co-commentators sends him into an exaggerated cackling frenzy.
- Hot-Blooded: TJ and FTA.
- Large Ham: TJ, usually. "BWABWABWABWAAAAAAAH!"
- Last-Name Basis: Clement, whenever he appears as a guest. His own LPs show his first name is Jamie.
- Let's Play: They used to call them commentaries but now they refer to them as LPs.
- Live Episode: The FTCR Livestreams, Marathons, and FTA and Smoovies/MykonosFan Play series.
- Nice Guy: The crew are essentially this, especially with their fans. Any Jerkass moments in-universe are Played for Laughs.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: TJ and FTA are the red to Smoovies', Mykonosfan's, and Donnie's blue.
- Self-Deprecation: Nowhere will you find more shots taken at the site than on its own social media outlets.
- Shameless Self-Promoter/Please Subscribe to Our Channel: Played for Laughs by FTA or Smoovies.
- Shout-Out: Their channel has shoutouts to FTCR from various developers and voice actors from the Sonic series. The crew occasionally make a few, too.
- The Stoic: Mykonosfan.
- Not So Stoic: Whenever something's really funny, expect his laugh to be the loudest.
- Stylistic Suck: They like to present themselves as this. Much of the comedy in their playthroughs comes from their extremely loose and manic commentary style. This may be a parody of many famous LPers that are criticized for not talking about the game being covered and instead just making noises.
