Line 20:
* [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]]: Introduced in season 4... [[What Happened to the Mouse?|never to be mentioned again.]]
** [[Double Subversion|...until "Hypernews I" (43/S5E5)]], where it turns into somewhat of a [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]] variety.
{{quote| '''Chief''': [[Lampshade Hanging|didnt we set up taht acount liek months ago?]]}}
** After Season 5 finished, the mail slot has spun off into its own show - ''Arby 'n' the Chief: Hypermail''
* [[Hand Wave]]: Only a mild one in ''Endgame''. Scott has seen Arbiter and Chief moving around and talking, why is this not an issue?
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': He's convinced we're hallucinations brought on by his constant substance abuse<br />
'''Scott''': What the hell? You guys aren't supposed to appear until after my '''fourth''' coke sandwich! }}
** Then again, what about Agent Smirnoff and Skylar Loveheart? Oh that's right, they're insane.
Line 31:
* [[How We Got Here]]: Season 5 starts with this premise.
* [[Ironic Nickname|Metallic Nickname]]: Chief's Noobs in "Digital Fruitcakes" is a subversion:
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': [[Sarcasm Mode|"Your noobs". Sounds about right.]]<br />
'''Chief''': [[Completely Missing the Point|ITS METALLIC MORON / WERE ACTUALLY LIEK FUCKING PRO]] / SRSLY<br />
'''Arbiter''': [[You Keep Using That Word|I think you mean ironic.]] }}
Line 38:
* [[Travel Montage]]: Parodied in [[The Movie]]. When Chief escapes from LA, it zooms out to the classic "line on the map" scene - except the lines are a tangled mess because Chief has no idea where he's going.
* [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]]: a parodic variant in the [[Cold Opening]] to "The Mail Room II" (37/S4E12), complete with [[Parrot Exposition]]. [[Recycled in Space|IN 3D!]]
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': [[Take That|Fuck 3D.]]}}
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|TECHNODICKS]]. [[Ear Worm|TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO TECHNODICKS.]]
* [[Running Gag]]
Line 51:
* [[Take That, Audience!]]: Jon addresses some of his more zealous fans with these from time to time. In the first episode of ''It's a Wonderful Live'' he outright tells his general response to complainers: [[MST3K Mantra|"What's the big fucking deal?!"]]
** Arbiter delivers one at the end of "Panic" (19/S3E7)
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': A few of you obsessive types are probably now scampering to your Xboxes to register the gamertag "assassininja4827", "assninja4827" or some other slight variation. No one will be impressed. Just wanted to call you douchebags out on that beforehand. Owned.}}
** In fact, Todd, Travis, and Cortana's deaths seemed like this.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: pretty much everything Chief does, but espcially the penis drawing contest.
Line 80:
** lol remember arbitur?
*** Chief even calls a drunken Arbiter out on [[Borrowed Catchphrase|using this one]].
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': [[Out-of-Character Moment|LOL, remember Chief?]]<br />
'''Chief''': [[Hey, That's My Line!|HAY. thats mai thing arbitur. u cant use mai thing.]] remember. remember its mien. lol remember arbitur?<br />
'''Arbiter''': LOL, I remember Chief.<br />
Line 148:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Greg in the finale of Season 5.}}
* [[Big No]]: The Chief, when the Arbiter cancels his [[Up to Eleven|700 GB porn download]].
{{quote| '''Chief''': MAI SEXAY PRONZ!11!one!}}
* [[Bile Fascination]]: parodied in-universe in "Endgame".
{{quote| '''Chief''': god damit this gaem is gay ''[[[Beat]]]'' wen is teh sec0nd 1 cumign out}}
* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]: Season 5. Jon's Xbox is permanently banned, cutting Chief and Arbiter off from online gaming and social interaction, but Trent is defeated, Arbiter and Claire are still friends and even though Greg's in hiding, at least he is still around.}}
* [[Brick Joke]]: In Episode 6, Brawl, Chief gives Arbiter a hug just to put a sign that says "im stuped" on his back. Arbiter doesn't know about this until the end of the episode.
Line 176:
* [[Lemon Wacky Hello]]: Chief getting high from smoking cereal. Lampshaded by Arbiter stating that cereal doesn't have hallucinogenic properties.
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: Chief when he fights Travis.
{{quote| '''Chief''': k k stop sotp stpo. i surendir. {{spoiler|JK LOL}} }}
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: The death of Scott.
* [[Put on a Bus to Hell|Put On A Spaceship To Hell]]: The fates of Cortana, Todd and Travis at the end of "King".
{{quote| {{spoiler|Todd and Travis then [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|had their butts made love to by a big gay outer space alien that looked suspiciously like Jon's chin and were later eaten alive.]] }}<br />
{{spoiler|As the alien had no desire for females, Cortana was later thrown into an escape pod and fired directly into the center of an alien sun.}}<br />
[[[Beat]]]<br />
[[Take That, Audience!|Happy?]] }}
* {{spoiler|[[The Mistress]]}}: [[This Is Unforgivable!|Trent has one.]]
* [[Look Behind You!]]: During the fight with Travis and Todd
{{quote| '''Chief''': HOLEH MUTHR OF GOD. L@@K OTU. ITS TEH COVERNINT.}}
** And with Arbiter.
{{quote| '''Chief''': OMG LOOK AT ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS OVER THERE}}
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: In preparation for the wedding, Chief and Arbiter {{spoiler|meet a group of [[The Cracker|console modders]] who help them to bypass Trent's ban on them, give them various cheats including unlimited ammo and the ability to make all the fusion coils at the wedding explode, and guns and melee attacks that result in a console ban and all of the victim's personal information being stolen.}}
* [[Rasputinian Death]]: Scott takes [[Overly Long Gag|A LOT]] of bullets to bring down. Lampshaded by the Chief
{{quote| Why won't this faggot just die?}}
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: several times, usually delivered by Arbiter to Chief. He delivers it once [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|to the audience]] (see [[Take That, Audience!]]) and once to {{spoiler|Trent Donnovich}} in the season 5 finale.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: {{spoiler|S6 E9 ends with Arby gearing up for one after Claire is banned and her personal accounts hacked.}}
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: as episode 6 reminds us.
{{quote| '''Chief''': O RLY?<br />
'''Arbiter''': Yeah.<br />
'''Chief''': hawt / dos she hav boobz?/ <br />
'''Arbiter''': I would assume so, Chief...<br />
'''Chief''': COOL / H1GH FIEV<br />
''[[[Beat]]]''<br />
'''Arbiter''': ...No.<br />
'''Chief''': coem on / dun leev a brothar hanging<br />
'''Arbiter''': What the hell is up with you today? Are you high?<br />
'''Chief''': on lief, arbitur / on lief }}
* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: When Arbiter challenges Chief and his Noobs, he only uses magnum and sprint. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|He wins.]]
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': [[Badass Boast|It's all I need.]]}}
* [[Tempting Fate]]: A rare example where things actually get better for the person that tempts fate.
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': We're going to need a miracle.}}
** {{spoiler|A tank spawns behind him}}
* [[Who Would Be Stupid Enough...?]]: When Chief learns about the visual effects.
{{quote| '''Chief''': put them all on<br />
'''Arbiter''': Settle down, Chief. I mean most of the visual effects ARE cool and all, but some are made entirely for Machinima and it's impossible to see with them turned on. Playing with them all on would be fucking stupid. What kind of ignoramus would do that? Who, Chief? Who, I ask you? ''Who?'' <br />
([[Tempting Fate|Ten minutes later...]]) }}
* [[World Made of Cardboard Speech]]/[["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: In the season 5 finale:
{{quote| '''Arbiter''': {{spoiler|It doesn’t surprise me that a dose of emotion would have a toxic effect on an emotion-deprived cretin like you. Who’s really the plastic one here? Your bleak outlook on life is poisonous. Maybe the world is a big sinking ship. But we can’t accept that as an inevitability and use it as an excuse to act like shitheads. We have to be the change we seek. We have to build something better for ourselves.}}}}
** Should be mentioned that this is Arbiter's answer to a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] delivered to him {{spoiler|by Trent}} an episode earlier.
* [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are]]: {{spoiler|Claire gives one to Arbiter.}}
