""...fuck the Yankees.""

 * Calvin Ball: "Mousemate".
 * And now, "Foodball".
 * Captain Obvious: From "Rulebreakers": "We're the Smiths, because that's our last name!"
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Barats and Bereta both, depending on what character they're playing. Barats especially in the "Lolcats" video.
 * Cluster F Bomb: The Boston fans in "Boston Jury Duty."
 * Character Blog: After Barats' "fight" with Bereta, he actually did make a Youtube channel called BaratsAndNobodyElse.
 * Completely Missing the Point: Initial reactions to "Foodball" has YouTube commenters complaining about how the Dynamic Duo is wasting food, despite the fact that there's a short segment in the video where the pair consider feeding a homeless man with the food they're wasting and then ruin the rest of the food he could have eaten.
 * Comedic Sociopath: Both guys in "Foodball" for stomping on the banana that could have fed a homeless man.
 * Construction Catcalls: This sketch teaches you how to do it right.
 * Double Entendre: "Great Pick Up Lines in American History", "Great Pick Up Lines in Sports", "Great Pick Up Lines in the Bible" and "Great Pick Up Lines in Science" have more than a few of them.
 * Ear Worm: The music to "F U!" will be stuck in your head for hours.

 * Escalating War: Used in videos like "Cubicle War" and "April Fools".
 * Even the Guys Want Him: Luke has a "hetero Man Crush" on David Hasselhoff (Then again, who doesn't?) while Joe has a strange fondness for Mark Spitz (in a speedo).
 * Glasses Pull: The defense attorney in "Boston Jury Duty."

"No. Leave him. He is not a Kid Kadet."
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: Luke Barats and Joe Bereta should be the Web Original posterboys for this trope. Their characters are often examples of this as well.
 * Hilarious Outtakes: There's one at the end of "Rulebreakers" where Barats tries to continue being electrocuted but ends up breaking down laughing from the sheer silliness of his acting.
 * Jerkass: Mr. Wentworth. (And maybe Jesus, but he's more like Crazy Awesome.)
 * Also, Luke and Joe from Douche Off compete to see who is the bigger one of this trope. It is as epic as it sounds.
 * Large Ham: Both Luke and Joe try to out-ham each other in almost every video. Special mention goes to "Ad Guys" and "Cubicle Wars" for making a plot out of the one-upping antics.
 * Mood Whiplash: When one of the kids gets a seizure in "Yes Kidz Kan".


 * Murder Arson and Jaywalking in "Mattress Sale!". "Cause Monday I go to prison for tax evasion, and child pornography, and Jaywalking."
 * Also a recurring gag in "the Mantage" where 'cuddling a kitten' is inexplicably added to the list of manly activities.
 * Precision F Strike: In "Mousemate" and "Ad Guys".
 * Rapid Fire Comedy: Be careful or you'll miss something good.
 * Rated M for Manly: The Mantage, obviously.
 * Sitcom Arch Nemesis: Milkman and Mailman.
 * Take That: In "2012", the time traveling pair accidentally destroy the only copy of Indiana Jones 4, which is one in a chain of events that prevents the apocalypse.
 * "F U!" is a video composed of three people flipping off annoying people in the most amazingly over-the-top fashions possible. The first person lets his dog shit in a guy's yard right next to his paper, the second person, a girl, blows a kiss to someone's boyfriend while the girlfriend is walking right next to him, and the third guy drank all his roommate's beers. It must be seen to be truly appreciated.
 * "Boston Jury Duty" is one big Take That at the New York Yankees. It's a slow burn, but the pay off is so worth it.
 * What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome: Pretty much everything they do qualifies.
