- Aluminum Christmas Trees: A lot of fans who didn't know much about Trauma Center thought the bit where the doctor is asked to defuse an atom bomb was just a joke. It's really only a minor exaggeration of something that actually happens in the game.
- Crazy Is Cool: The chef in Awesome Man, who's possibly Mega Man himself.Chef: Take about 5 dozen eggs, start puttin' 'em in a bowl, mix DA FFFFFUCK outta them, and whadda you get? (beat) PENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!(Said penis then erupts out of the bowl, goes higher than the clouds, and disintegrates Dr. Wily)Guts Man: OOH YEAH, SHIT JUST GOT REAL!!
- Even Better Sequel: No one expected a sequel to Metal Gear Awesome... and it was awesome.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Snake's (and by extension, Egoraptor himself's) adamant refusal to listen to any codec calls that aren't forced upon him by the game leads him to running headfirst into lasers, bombs, a tank, and ultimately getting killed by Psycho Mantis. This behavior seems almost prophetic when we see Arin's playstyle in Game Grumps.
- Magnum Opus Dissonance: Egoraptor claims that his best work is Sequelitis, due to both the time and effort he put into the episodes and the fact that he values an ability to make people think over an ability to make people laugh.
- Not that Sequelitis isn't appreciated, it's just much, much younger; was barely a year old before Schedule Slip hit, and had only three episodes for two years of waiting (and episode 3 is only five minutes long).
- Memetic Mutation:
- *Statement*... I mean "Venusaur."
- The angry face right before "zombie cancer." Egoraptor was betting on the "O-face" to go memetic, but zombie cancer was much more popular (not that the latter didn't also take off, to an extent).
- Older Than They Think: Sort of. An over-the-top Metal Gear Solid parody that acts as a Fountain of Memes with a big helping of Character Exaggeration? It happened again.
- Sequelitis: A vocal part of the fanbase consider the original PokeAwesome to be vastly superior to its sequel. note
- Shallow Parody: Awesome Fantasy VII depicts Cloud and Vincent constantly whining about their deceased loved ones and start cutting themselves, which definitely reeks of "Only-Familiar-With-Compilation-Characterization."
- Wangst: Parodied in Awesome Fantasy VII.
