** Dan ventures into this territory as well.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]- In [[Rant-Inducing Slight|"Jeff Goes]] [[Never Live It Down|Christian Bale"]]

* [[Death as Comedy]]
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]] - Not as consistent as oother shows, but when they do you will know. The "worst" offender is probably [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yLRyX7x9Ew parent game].

Dan: No Thanks. }}
* [[Motor Mouth]] - Amir in "Speed 3- Blabber Mouth".
* [[Negative Continuity]] - Characters are killed off or change careers all the time, but return immediately in the next video.
** Inverted by Jake and Amir. So far there has not been any continuity errors and it even has the odd [[Continuity Nod]] or two.

* [[The Aggressive Drug Dealer]] - Seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceOxyV6NgPQ&feature=related Amir and Streeter].
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] - Attempted in "Bug".
* [[The Smurfette Principle]] - Sarah is portrayed most of the time as being the only girl in the office, with most of the guys there having a crush on her. Exemplified wonderfully in "Sarah's Revenge".
