Line 41:
** See [[She's Got Legs]] below.
* [[Angrish]]: Happens with alarming frequency
* [[April FoolsFool's Plot]]: An entire April Fool's Episode, wherein the hosts talk about how much they love TNA Impact.
* [[Awful Truth]]: The S.K.Y.P.E? {{spoiler|It's powered by the trapped soul of a TARDIS, "borrowed" from a dying Time Lord that No Leaf either couldn't save or didn't bother saving.}}
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Magpie and Mr. War Machine. Well, at least until their tag team broke up when [[Duos Angel]] shows up and Magpie is nice to her.
* [[Borrowed Catchphrase]]: '''"WRESTLE! WRESTLE!"'''
** '''"I'M IN THE DANJAH ZONE!"'''
*** This ends up being an extended [[Shout -Out]]. Not only is "the Danger Zone" borrowed from [[Top Gun]], it is then used by Archer, while also being a shout out to "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Teefus was the first to say it, which leads to No Leaf stealing it.
* [[B Show]]: The WWE Tough Enough, NXT and Superstars Review, done by The Arrow.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: This role can rotate throughout the cast.
Line 66:
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Though the first few episodes did feature a theme song, many of the gags (such as the Tangent Counter) hadn't been invented. The conversations also tend to be more stilted, as people still were learning one another, and in general are less natural sounding than the later reviews.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: The shirtless scenes with Matt Hardy V8
* [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot]]: Averted. Through TNA's many, many [[Psycho Lesbian]] or [[Lipstick Lesbian]] angles, the casts never seems to be turned on by them. In fact, they all are annoyed by those kind of angles in general.
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: Teefus during the first Headlocked, who played a Smark
* [[Guilty Pleasure]]: Played with. Though the cast generally dislikes TNA, they ''do'' want to see it succeed, and sometimes enjoy their shows, if for no reason than it gives them a reason to hang out and talk about wrestling.
Line 89:
** [[Overused Running Gag]]: The Bruiser Brody jokes were starting to get a little bit old at one point...
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Christopher Says makes reference to Winter silky smooth white legs on a couple occasions.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Being on [[Noah Antwiler|Spoony's forums]] and everything, there are more than a few references to him on the show.
** Averted with the original showrunner, who went through painstaking detail to remove every last mention of Spoony from the show.
*** Getting into [[Running Gag]] territory, as they primarily do it now to annoy those who say they steal Spoony's material.
** Sin Cara's [[Dark Match]] theme song. "SIN CARA! HE IS A MAN, PLAUNCHA, WEARS A PRETTY MASK..."
** Noleafclover's name is a [[Shout -Out]] to the Metallica song of the same name.
** Magpie usually starts the show by quoting a line from The Beatles.
*** During the ''TNA Lockdown 2011'' Review, Magpie begins to sing the lyrics to the song "Let It Be" to soothe himself.
*** He sings "She Loves You" at the end of the 5-15-2011 review.
** "And on that bombshell, we must end..." is No Leaf's [[Shout -Out]] to the show [[Top Gear]].
** Mr. War Machine's name, is a [[Shout -Out]] to the superhero of the same name.
*** He also happens to share the same first and last name of the hero in real life.
** Megafighter3 tends to make references to Wrestlecrap inductions.
