{{tropelist}}
* [[Acme Products]]: ''Important Things'' things, things coming soon from the ''Important Things'' store.
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The cards from season two seem to reflect this. For example, the first card on "abilities" had the following three options:
** {{spoiler|Diss Audience Member}}
** {{spoiler|Dismember Audience}}
Line 34:
* [[Bathroom Stall of Overheard Insults]]: Done with ''five'' stalls.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: [[Parodied Trope|Parodied]], and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]]. King: Did your plan, this dastardly plan, completely rely upon me, as king, for the first time in my entire life, not wanting you to taste this food?
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: Several of the cards from Season One.
* [[Bungling Inventor]]: [[Renaissance Man]] Da Mici.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: A lot of Demetri's characters.
Line 50:
* [[Pluto Is Expendable]]: Averted. Demetri Martin actually cares about Pluto and feels that it's wrong that it's not considered a planet anymore.
* [[Straight Man and Wise Guy]]: Subverted in the sketch about the all-[[Straight Man]] comedy duo.
* [[Shout
** This bit is followed by a related sketch, in a [[Perfectly Cromulent Word|commentarial]] style, in which he explains that they could not get the rat out of the cage right away, as rats {{spoiler|cannot walk backwards}}, so they must let the rat walk all the way around the cage, which results in {{spoiler|Demetri [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong|having his face filled with rat nards.]]}}
* [[Teleporter Accident]]: Parodied. Said parody's deconstruction was [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Time Travel]]: A common theme from the sketches.
* [[Tomato Surprise]]: A sketch in the "Money" episode features two scientists trying to pretend that one of them is a robot they've built so that their funding doesn't get cut. {{spoiler|Then it turns out the other one [[Ridiculously Human Robot|actually is a robot]].}}
* [[Wondrous Ladies' Room]]: One sketch features a ladies room where the women have a control center set up to do ''extensive'' background checks on their dates, complete with calls to the mother and checking what their dates' kinks are.
