* AdaptationalBadass: Played for laughs with "Six confronts Seven about Eating Nine". Literally all we knew about Six in the original joke was that he was afraid of Seven "Because Seven ate Nine". In the sketch, while still clearly terrified, Six is brave enough to confront and even ''threaten'' Seven for what they did.

"Race to the Bottom" ends with him getting slapped by every cast and crew member who wanted to and "Like My Coffee..." features Grant's favorite porn star as a special guest for a minigame.

* {{Corpsing}}: One episode, "Whodunnit", has a literal example: Josh is playing a murder victim, and Rehka and Grant are discussing who could have done it. At one point, Rehka insults him, and it cuts to a shot of Josh chuckling on the floor. He never breaks "character" otherwise.

* FriendlyScheming: "Don't Cry" turns out to be a method of picking up cast member Jess Ross after a hard year in which she had major surgery which left her temporarily bedridden and was forced to postpone her wedding due to Covid. The other two players were in on the trick, and multiple assorted Dropout cast members and friends come out to present heartfelt letters of appreciation to Jess. The episode ends with her and her partner Kait being practice-married by [[Creator/BobTheDragQueen their favorite drag queen.]] Jess technically loses because she broke down in happy tears and therefore lost all her points, but Rehka gives her the prize for the episode: a honeymoon trip for Jess and her fianceé.
