  • Creator's Pet: A literal case for Smokey, as he was Johnny's real life pet cat.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Smokey has his fair share of fans too.
    • "Big Dick" Nick Miller.
  • Good Bad Bugs: Streams of new WWE games tend to be filled with these. The WWE '12 Big Show ladder glitch is particularly infamous. It's gotten to the point that Johnny usually ends up singing "Day one glitch" to the tune of the Usos theme on every release day stream.
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • Batista winning the Rumble match in the nL simulation stream of the 2014 Royal Rumble.
    • After his appearance in Fighting Back 2020, Brodie Lee expressed a desire to play with the boys again. Sadly, that would be the last and only time he would get to do so, as Brodie passed away 4 months later.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • The Royal Rumble 2K16 Simulation successfully predicted some stuff, but not in the cases you'd expect:
      • Ric Flair being inappropriate in some way (being naked in the simulation, and kissing Becky Lynch in the real show).
      • The most obvious being AJ Styles's debut.
      • Jericool222/Jericho proclaims "Welcome to the big leagues, kid!", a line said by Chris Jericho the next night on the post-Rumble Raw.
    • The 2k16 Universe sim featured them portraying Baron Corbin as "Oil Baron" Corbin and naming all his moves after oil puns. Late in 2016, the real Baron Corbin got entrance graphics that feature a desolate city being absorbed by what appears to be an oil spill.
    • The team Los Caronies in nL Universe Mode actually ended up becoming a team in real life.
      • As did Team EAR (Rusev and Aiden English), though minus Edge.
  • Memetic Mutation
    • Three words: BIG. BOY. SENTON.
    • "AND THE BIG DOG TAKES ON THE BIG DOG! AND THE BIG DOG WINS!"
    • Kane Face.
    • Singing SUCKING A DICK YEAH, SUCKING A DICK over Rhyno's theme.

    • Stone Cold Impressions Explanation 
    • OLYMPIC SLAAAAAAAM!!!
  • Moment of Awesome: Also Heartwarming Moments: The nL boys participated in the annual TNAid charity for breast cancer awareness in 2014, holding a 24 hour stream from August 15 to 16th. Over the course of one day, they went from banned on Twitch to breaking viewer records on Hitbox AND getting a partner sponsorship within MINUTES of showing up, having Vince Russo as a guest on stream (TWICE!) and exceeding their goal with many wrestlers and entertainers retweeting the stream to show their support.
  • The Scrappy:
    • Homer, by far. If someone gets pissy during the call, it's Homer, if someone cries racism despite spouting slurs themselves, it's Homer. He also can be a massive Jerkass. He will hate on anyone for saying that Daniel Bryan is good (or any wrestler well known for their days in the independent circuit), even resorting to throwing more slurs around to insult them. Furthermore, in a distinct parallel to how virtually every other member of the group (past or present) operates, - even compared to other mods, including the infamously-terse RezClown or the notoriously-moody Slip - Homer was extremely likely to be hostile toward fans in the chat. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence to see a small chat move to a virtual standstill when Homer showed up because nobody wanted to be the one to set him off.
      • This hit new heights with one of his tweets; when he predictably caught hellfire, he tried to play it off as wanting people to be upset, but this just comes off as damage control. In response, Homer was merely de-modded from nL's Hitbox channel, but remains in power elsewhere (such as their Twitch channel and Discord server) and is openly welcome in calls as of July 2016, only four months removed from the event. Not much of a punishment in the long run.
    • On that matter, Slip is also seen as this by a portion of the fanbase, due to things such as his short temper, his demeanour (whenever he streams or joins calls, his voice rarely rises above monotony and never sounds like he really wants to be there), his sense of humour being hit-or-miss compared to the other members (whenever he does make a good joke, it's unfortunately sullied by his tendency to explain or expand upon it further), and the quality of his recordings (his headset picks up a significant amount of background noise). It's nowhere near the same level as Homer and he definitely has his fans, but the elements are still there.
      • This is rising up again majorly with his recent increased activity on the group's Discord server, including disrupting conversations, insulting users, changing channel placement and names, spam-posting pictures across every channel in the server, and punishing users (removing their ability to speak) for minimal acts.
    • Jericho's character Mama Hernandez, an Ambiguously Jewish mother of nL-created MMA fighter Neddy Hernandez became this after Jericool started forcing the character in almost every stream. It led to the character's Kay Fabe Retirement at one episode of WWE 2k15 Universe Mode.
    • Dino Winwood has become a Scrappy of his own for a not-insignificant portion of the nL fanbase for his tendency to overrun the others in calls during streams and LIVE REACTIONS™, as well as his inflammatory Homer-esque hateboner for Johnny Gargano, which recently led to Jawnny muting Dino during the main event of a show that was being LIVE REACTIONS™'d that featured Gargano in the main event.
  • Tearjerker:
    • Johnny's cat, Smokey's death near the end of 2017 definitely qualifies.
    • The boys' reaction to the passing of Brodie Lee. They were so distraught, they abruptly ended their stream, electing to instead share stories about Brodie instead.
    • Johnny and Homer's reactions to the online servers for WWE All-Stars shutting down. Due to having lots of fun times playing the game, they sounded pretty sad about it.
    • During the boys' playthrough of WWE 2K20's My Career, when Bray Wyatt appears in one of the chapters, Johnny says in a sad voice "I miss you, Bray Wyatt." While this was due to him being gone from WWE at the time until his return later on in the year, this became even harsher as Bray passed away over a year later.
  • Unfortunate Character Design: Aaron Rodgers' face in Madden NFL 12 has turned him into a sort of sketchy Memetic Molester.
