Tabletop provides examples of the following tropes:

 * Adorkable: Amy Dallen from Episode 4. So much.
 * Colbert Bump: Anecdotal evidence suggests that games featured on the show have seen increased sales.
 * Foreign Sounding Gibberish: Ryan's "Hawaiian chant to repel sharks".
 * Incredibly Lame Pun: Wil's wheat puns in episode 2.
 * Million to One Chance: The odds of  approach infinity. Wil speculates that, in order to balance his luck out, somewhere in the universe a planet spontaneously imploded.
 * Tempting Fate: In episode 3, Wil talks about how he likes Zombie Dice because nobody ever gets out to a huge lead. Cue
