* [[All There in the Manual]] - The (nick)names of most of the cast are only seen on their respective [[Facebook]]/[[Twitter]] pages:
** Sterling Toth, the cameraman (was with Harley on Leno).
Line 35:
* [[And a Diet Coke]] - During Harley and Sterling's appearance on The Jay Leno Show, they and Jay make a shepherd's pie together, during which Jay says, "You know what goes good with this? A Diet Coke."
* [[Anyone Can Die]] - Muscles Glasses
{{quote| '''Harley''': "And, uh, we got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}62f6_1Dn_Es some glasses]...as a little commemoration to, uh, one of our lost members. He is dead now. No joke, he's actually dead."}}
** [[Back From the Dead]] - Muscles Glasses
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]] - Harley, after ordering a Baconator and fries in a Wendy's drive-thru, is told the drink would only be twenty cents more.
{{quote| "Your drink will be?" "[[Funny Moments|Fresca]]."}}
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYffV7qhvTc 84 Egg Sandwich]" (and a blueberry muffin)
** "Fast Food Lasagna" features them buying 15 McDonald's Big Macs, a liter of Big Mac Sauce, fifteen Wendy's Baconators, fifteen A&W Teen Burgers (no vegetables!), and four orders of onion rings...and an apple pie...make that four apple pies (Harley gave the apple pies to a mother for her kids).
Line 50:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]] - At the start of "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzDxTNiCpWM Fast Food Meatloaf]"
* [[Big Eater]] - This shouldn't require an explanation.
{{quote| '''Harley''': "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}VHPB7v_dp2k Four-cheese ravioli, Chef Boyardee Ravioli in ravioli, trifecta-liqour-meat sauce, cheesy-meat jolly balls] and four of the hungriest mother[[Sound Effect Bleep|(caw!)]]s that ever ate on the internet!"}}

* [[Bilingual Bonus]] - The text on the title card of "Fast Food Sushi"<ref>"ファストフードのお寿司ぶっかけ", which roughly translates to "Fast food no sushi bukkake"</ref>.
Line 79:
** More recently: "''Epic Meal Time'' online cooking show every Tuesday!" (said by Harley to start each episode, once the gang is in the kitchen).
* [[Chainsaw Good]] - Harley uses one in "Meatball Deathstar":
{{quote| '''Harley''': '''EVERY TUESDAY: EPIC MEAL TIME!''' Comin' at you with a chainsaw and a big pile o'meat! If you ain't down with that...'''THEN YOU AIN'T DOWN WITH COOKING!!!'''}}
** Another one is used in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcdkRxJcLrI Meat Shield]" against a dummy dressed in bacon, pot roast, pepperoni and ribs.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]] - The two girls who were recurring characters on the show (beginning with "Massive Meat Log") haven't appeared in the videos anymore. "Fast Food Meatloaf" even had different girls play the roles that would normally be filled by them.
Line 98:
** With [[Gabriel Iglesias]] in "Fast Food Fluffy Cake."
* [[Crowd Song]] - In "EpicMealTime LIVE":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "When I say "Muscles", you say "Glasses! '''MUSCLES'''!!"<br />
'''Crowd''': "'''GLASSES'''!!!"<br />
'''Harley''': "'''MUSCLES'''!!!"<br />
'''Crowd''': "'''GLASSES'''!!!" }}
* [[Cultured Badass]] - Yes, Harley may spend most of his time hamming up new dinners in every possible sense of the word, but he also knows, on a scientific level, exactly why he does what he does with food, and exactly why that makes it taste better: humans are programmed by evolution to like fatty foods.
** From "Puzzle Of The Lambs":
{{quote| "[[Classical Mythology|Cerberus]], the tri-head that guards the underworld."}}
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Eat Cthulhu?]] - "Meat Cthulhu"

* [[Double Entendre]] - In "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYxO3Y-wOrM Tequila Taco Night]":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Taco night is when we lay some beef in a pink taco...drip some guacamole...make her sour cream..."}}
** Also in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F1_04GLrPs Candy BBQ]":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "...we're gonna give your sweet tooth a sexual root canal."}}
** From "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_n2ZHbbtRg Sausage Fest]":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Canucks love their Kraft Mac & Cheese...and bacon, and igloos, and maple and beavers. (Snicker) Maple beavers..."}}
** At [[The Stinger]] for "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKb1IeovH60 Bacon Tree]":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Next time, we eat a cat burglar...or a pussy thief."}}
** Played straight at first in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYhDthbBrrU Meatzza]", but then subverted at the last second:
{{quote| '''Harley''': "SA-OOOSAGES! Some are big, some are small. All of them are nice and juicy...not to sound gay or anything..."}}
* [[Drink Order]] - Jack Daniels, mother''([[Sound Effect Bleep|caw!]])''!!
* [[Drugs Are Bad]] - In "Sausage Fest", while making eggs, Harley states they're "Crackin' eggs like we crack smoke." He then suggests "Smoke crack?", but immediately answers "No, that's bad."
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]] - "Fast Food Pizza" sees Harley not nearly as hammy (or rehearsed); it's just him and Muscles Glasses (who doesn't even keep his signature shades on most of the time and actually talked) eating a pizza loaded with hamburgers, chicken wings, fries, etc.
** Lampshaded in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HahGxIMlNFM Candy Poutine]" with a [[Call Back]] to the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQX2kC1jUB8 Angry French Canadian]" (which had poutine):
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Gosh, we used to be so damn polite. But the bacon made us crazy!! And by crazy, I mean smart!!"}}
* [[Erotic Eating]] - Played straight with the "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIzzx2OolfI Massive Meat Log]".
** And again with "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaKcl0Qg13o The Black Legend]".
Line 147:
* [[Genre Savvy]] - In "84 Egg Sandwich", Harley goes and orders close to 100 breakfast sandwiches from McDonald's. The employee manning the drive-thru station (correctly) guesses it's for an Epic Meal Time project.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] - In "The Ostrich Nest":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "We got a whole bowl of ostrich eggs! On Epic Meal Time, we fist our ostrich eggs! (Camera pans to a bowl full of ostrich egg yolks) [[It Makes Sense in Context|Look at me fist those chicks]]! (Harley literally dunks his fist to beat the egg yolks) [[It Makes Sense in Context|Yeah, I'm fisting chicks]]...on the Internet...on Youtube."}}
* [[Gingerbread House]] - "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rUEpmbdZLw OF MEAT AND CHEEZ WHIZ]! Merry Christmas."
* [[Godwin's Law]]/[[Hitler Ate Sugar]] - "You know who else didn't like too much bacon? Hitler. And you don't want to be Hitler, do you? No. {{spoiler|He's got stupid hair}}."
* [[Guns and Gunplay Tropes]] - "Russian Meal Time" provides examples of:
** [[AKA-47]] - [[Lampshaded]] and averted by FPSRussia:
{{quote| '''FPSRussia''': "Okay, this is the MP5K. "K" stands for "Kompact" in German, don't give me bullshit: I know what the gun is."}}
** [[Everyone Is Armed]] - Played with: Muscles Glasses makes mashed potatoes while holding a submachine gun.
** [[Pistol-Whipping]] - Harley, Muscles Glasses and FPSRussia take turns tenderizing meat, the latter using a Desert Eagle to do it.
Line 160:
** [[Wall of Weapons]] - At the gun store
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]] - Two videos out outtakes so far, but one was included as [[The Stinger|a stinger]]:
{{quote| '''Harley''': Changin' the game!<br />
''(Harley slaps down a bottle of Jack Daniels...which is accompanied by a crack.)''<br />
'''Off-camera voice''': ''(as booze starts leaking)'' [[Oh Crap|OHHH!]]<br />
''(Harley picks up the bottle, just as the bottom of the bottle falls out.)''<br />
Line 175:
* [[Large Ham]] - Harley's one and he [[Incredibly Lame Pun|proceeds to cook truckloads]].
* [[Malaproper]] - Harley opens with one in "Tequila Taco Night":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "I've been sippin' on that green and smokin' that liquor all day."}}
* [[Male Gaze]] - There's a lot of cleavage in "The Black Legend".
** Also in "Maximum Mac and Cheese" and "Sausage Fest".
* [[Mathematician's Answer]] - In "Meat Building 101", Paolo asks Tyler what kind of meat they used to build the Slaughterhouse. Tyler stumbles over his answer, but essentially tells him, "[[How Many All of Them|All of the meat]]."
* [[Ms. Fanservice]] - The girl from "[[Double Entendre|Massive Meat Log]]":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "[[Genre Savvy|We all know]] that no one wants to see a douchebag eat a corndog, so we brought a little girl in for all you perverts!"}}
** They use another girl for "Fast Food Sushi"; they ''both'' come back for "The Black Legend".
** They, plus a horde of other hot girls, appear in "Maximum Mac and Cheese", "Drunken Mess" and "Sausage Fest".
Line 186:
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Ninja Bacon Pirate Zombie Bacon Robot -- Bacon Edition]]
** Lampshaded in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS9cTjFFWow Mother's Day Special]:
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Some say we're the spawns of evil, meat-demon cyborgs. Well, we're not: we've got mother(caw!)ing moms...that are the spawns of evil, meat-demon cyborgs!"}}
* [[Neck Lift]] - Muscles Glasses to two thieving thugs in "Fast Food Meatloaf".
* [[Non Sequitur]]
Line 196:
** Subverted in "The Slaughterhouse": "Next time, we eat ''dessert''!" Sure enough, the following week was "The Black Legend": two girls eating a gigantic crepe.
** Also subverted in "Epic H'our D'oeuvres":
{{quote| "Next time we eat bacon. [[Evil Laugh|Mweheheh]]."}}
** Yet another subversion for "Sausage Fest":
{{quote| "Next time, we eat ice cream." (Cue all the girls cheering)}}
** In "12 Gauge Hot Dog", Harley says "Next time, we eat blood!" and in the next video, "Zombie Meal Time", Muscles Glasses takes a shot of Jack Daniels and blood.
** Averted in the first video, which ends with Muscles Glasses (sans glasses) raising his arms in the air triumphantly after eating.
** At the end of French Fry Salad:
{{quote| "Next time, we eat sell outs. Next time, we eat while selling out... Netflix.com/bacon."}}
** Subverted in "Candy Sushi":
{{quote| "Next time, we eat. We have to, or we'll die."}}
* [[The Other Darrin]] - Played with: in "Maximum Protein Experience", Muscles Glasses is replaced with someone having a similar body build and trademark sunglasses. When Epic Mook notices Muscles Glasses working out at the gym where they're filming at, Harley tells the extra they don't need him anymore.
** Played with again in "Epic Stockyard Burger": Harley's absent to do the video intro, so Tyler fills in for him...until Harley walks out from the store and tells Tyler to go out, buy lunch and do his proper job.
Line 217:
** Invoked in "Sugar Shack" by Muscles Glasses' lumberjack father.
** Totally averted with "Candy BBQ" and "Candy Poutine".
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Well I guess you can say that this is the "no-meat" episode...but don't you [[Sound Effect Bleep|(caw!)]]ing say it."}}
* [[Re Cut]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qDwK-kUY40 The Director's Cut of "Zombie Meal Time"], one of the most controversial episodes gets a brand new opening, the cooking narration absent in the original, new scenes of the guys talking while in makeup and is streamlined from 7.5 minutes to 4 minutes.
* [[Red Baron]] - In "Fast Food Sushi", Harley dubs himself the "Sauce Boss".
** [[I Have Many Names]] - Taken further in "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvUku7zAXVE Candy Sushi]":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "And we got these custom sauces, 'cause I'm the 'Doctor of Dressing', aka the 'Pharaoh of Flavour', aka the 'Minister of Mixture', aka the 'Connoisseur of Condiments', aka the 'Don of the Drippin', aka the '[[Jeff Goldblum]] of the Internet', aka... [dramatic zoom on the sauces] ...the ''Sauce Boss''.}}
* [[Refuge in Audacity]] - All of them, really, but it doesn't get much more audacious than [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xc5wIpUenQ putting five birds into a pig].
** [[Tempting Fate|Oh, it does.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAjhG09X9YA At LEAST ten times more].
* [[Rousing Speech]] - Most of the video intros; take "84 Egg Sandwich" for example:
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Oh, you wanna change the game? Well, if you wanna change the game, you gotta stay ahead of it! And how do you do that? You eat a well-balanced breakfast of eggs, bacon, sandwiches and '''''liquor'''''! Rise and shine, you tired-ass mother[[Sound Effect Bleep|(caw!)]]s."}}
* [[Self-Deprecation]] - Invoked in "Tequila Taco Night":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "If you don't marinate your meat in a Ziploc bag, you think too highly of yourselves."}}
** And again, when Harley (in [[Paper-Thin Disguise|disguise]]) appears on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i7h-0lQkV an episode of] [[The Gentlemens Rant]] about Epic Meal Time.
* [[Serial Escalation]] - It started with a dish that anyone could make, then other culinary mashups. As more episodes rolled in, the dishes involved long and complex preparation methods, vegetables and require an entire dinner table of people to finish.
Line 239:
** Averted in the first half of "EpicMealTime LIVE".
* [[Standard Hero Reward]] - Parodied in "Fast Food Meatloaf":
{{quote| '''Lights''': "Holy crap, my burgers! How can I ever repay you?"<br />
'''Harley''': "I dunno...maybe [[Sound Effect Bleep|(caw!)]]ing share with us, you greedy [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitches]]?" }}
* [[Swiss Army Appendage]] - Played with in "Russian Meal Time":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "Muscles Glasses has a detachable penis, that also happens to be a combat knife."}}
* [[Take That]] - "What you doin'? Hatin'? '''STOP HATIN'!!!''' BLEND YOUR OWN BACON!!!"
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFB_vHVFM_8 Meat Salad]". Seriously, just listen to some of Harley's dialogue in the video:
{{quote| "What'you know about health? "Salad"? '''[[Sound Effect Bleep|(caw!)]] SALAD'''!!!"<br />
"Epic Meal Time showing you how to make a ''real'' salad! [[Sound Effect Bleep|(caw!)]] your lettuce!"<br />
"Oh, you didn't know? [[Non Sequitur|Carrots are for]] [[Double Entendre|ugly people]]!" }}
Line 254:
* [[The Stoic]] - Aside from "Sugar Shack," Muscles Glasses will get in ''maybe'' two lines of dialogue during a couple episodes; most of the time he'll remain quite and/or communicate with strong glares at the camera.
* [[Troll]] - Although the guys may band together to create an epic meal, there are certain times when one of them can't help but either insult, snark or outright jinx each other. In "The Ostrich Nest", for example, when Epic Mook starts dicing up some onions:
{{quote| '''Cousin Dave''': "One of these days, I'm going to witness you lose a finger."<br />
'''Epic Mook''': "Why?"<br />
'''Cousin Dave''': "It's just going to happen."<br />
'''Epic Mook''': "I'm very careful with this."<br />
'''Cousin Dave''': "I know you are...but it'll happen."<br />
[[[Beat]]]<br />
'''Epic Mook''': "...Don't be a prick." }}
** Also, Harley at the [[Mass Effect 3]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UyYFHDrBQ launch]
Line 271:
* "Jack Daniels'" is now "Jack Dagnels"
* [[Wham! Line]] - From "Fast Food Pizza Cake":
{{quote| '''Harley''': "We'll have a hundred and fifty."}}
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]] - They do for meat what [[Death Note|Light Yagami]] did for [[Memetic Mutation|potato chips]].
* [[Widget Series]]: Averted. Although plenty strange, its over-the-topness is way more American in inspiration than Canadian.
