{{quote|''I'm willing to wager there's now at least one person out there who now believes more firmly that Mexicans are stealing our women because of this game, and that is [[Sound Effect Bleep|f**king]] disgraceful. [[Reason You Suck Speech|It is a shame to what it means to be a designer, and it belies the responsibility we as a group hold when producing mass media.]] We can do a lot better than this. We can inform, and educate, and entertain, but failing all of that we can at least be honest."}}

* [[Rerun]]: Almost every episode from the show's run on [[YouTube]] was revamped for ''The Escapist''.

* [[Boring but Practical]] / [[Difficult but Awesome]]: Discussed in the "[http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/playing-like-a-designer-pt.-2 How to Play Like a Designer, Part 2]" episode in which they explain that "First Order Optimal Strategies" (which require little player effort but give good results such as the "[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare|noob tube]]" or "[[Street Fighter (video game)|hundred hand slap]]") are necessary to allow new players to have a competitive edge and allow them to gain enough confidence and experience to start using more difficult but ultimately even more effective strategies necessary for more difficult levels or matches. He cautions though that any such thing needs to be carefully developed and thought through, as it can create unintentional [[Game Breaker|Game Breakers]] which might flatten an otherwise expertly plotted difficulty curve.

* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: Warned against in the [http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/microtransactions "Microtransactions"] episode, with a crossed-out picture of Jareth from [[Labyrinth]].

* [[Character Derailment]]: They argue that this happened to [http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/no-redeeming-value Kratos] in the ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' sequels.

* [[Critical Research Failure]]: [[In-Universe]], they really lay into ''Call of Juarez: The Cartel'' for making extremely basic errors in its portrayal of the terrible Mexican drug wars and indirectly encouraging the grossly racist "they are stealing our women" stereotype -- even though, in reality, the reverse is much closer to the truth.
