3!!It provides examples of:

5* BaitAndSwitch: Jordan's take on the "Dragons" prompt starts with him lamenting the lack of gold, damsels, and lairs in the current economy. He then states what he, as a dragon, is doing nowadays: fishing, loving it to the point of discarding the old dragon ways entirely.
6* DisproportionateRetribution: When Gibson reveals he wants pineapple on his pizza to Jackson, Jackson throws him into a meat grinder to make more sussy stew.
7* FunWithAcronyms: The Ache-ronyms miniact revolves around this, the contestants having to make up meanings for acronyms and use them in a sentence.
8* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Stitch]] is displayed to hate Texas to the point of trying to leave mid-speech. Eventually, he convinces Lilo to let him speak the truth... to which he admits that he also hates the French, saying that they need to die.
9* ShipperOnDeck: Inverted in the "Star Wars" prompt, which is to ask random passersby to outlaw the contestant's least favorite romantic Franchise/StarWars pairing. Jordan interprets this as having a passerby sign his petition to kill Glup Shitto so he can't be paired up with [=R2D2=].
10* SkewedPriorities: Batman becomes more focused on the Joker's podcast and the fact that he wasn't invited than the people he's plotting to dip in molten cheese.
11* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: The "Private Argument" prompt is of a guy arguing with the song playing on the radio, and the result is Robby making up lyrics that immediately refute GQ's points as soon as she brings them up. At the very end, it warns her of an oncoming truck coming right at her... which was actually the case.
