Line 50:
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Many of the challenges have a single-digit win total (with a few at ''no one''). None of the contests Adam has faced have a win percentage of over 20%.
** New York's Curry challenge plays this trope straight and seemingly subverts it, over 100 people have won the challenge, but thousands have tried and failed.
* [[It Tastes Like Feet]]: "[[The Simpsons (animation)|It tastes like burning]]'' has been invoked by name more than once.
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: One recurring piece of background music sounds suspiciously like "Life in the Fast Lane" by The Eagles.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Adam tends to shout at times whenever doing his voiceovers.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: The "Kitchen Sink" Challenge

Adam (Narrating): "I forgot about the F'-- tray!" }}
** And again during the Oyster Bar challenge.

'''Adam:''' ''NO F#&$ING WAY! NO F#&$ING WAY!'' }}
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Adam
Line 68:
** Before his mystery challenge in Sarasota: "My challenge is a mystery... but sometimes--" *[[Glasses Pull]]* "--the mystery... is what makes it a challenge." [[CSI: Miami|YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH]]
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: During San Francisco's "Kitchen Sink Challenge":

* [[Special Guest]]: ''Bizarre Foods' '' Andrew Zimmern appeared in the Minneapolis episode to introduce Adam to the "wonders" of [[Foreign Queasine|lutefisk]].
** Syracuse University head men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim appeared in the Syracuse episode to help Adam sample some food at his favorite restaurant.
Line 76:
** In the "Don Shula 48-oz. Steak Challenge", the man himself appeared in Adam's training segment.
** Kevin Youkilis of the [[Baseball|Boston Red Sox]] appeared and jokingly called Yankee fan Adam a bum. He was not there specifically to be a special guest, just stopped by the restaurant for lunch.
*** In a way, the New York episode where Adam did the "Suicide Six Wings" rematch having current [[Baseball|New York Yankees]] pitcher Joba Chamberlain giving him advice involving how to beat the challenge -- "Basically, [[Stealth Pun|you wing it.]]"
** Well-known competitive eater and San Jose native Joey Chestnut participated in the Iguana's Taqueira's "BurrioZilla" challenge when Adam announced that he had a different challenge to cover and asked who amongst the crowd was going to participate in this challenge. Joey ended up beating the 5 pound challenge in ''3 minutes and 10 seconds''!
** A Man V. Food Nation episode had the Lo Cash Cowboys particapting in Nashville's undefeated "Big Roost Challenge". {{spoiler|The challenge is still undefeated.}}
Line 92:
*** The Louisville episode of Man V. Food Nation had "Burrito Joe" vomit in the 7-and-a-half pound "Comfy Cow" ice cream challenge.
* [[Waxing Lyrical]]: One episode of Man v. Food Nation featured a pizza filled to the brim with four different chilis (with the habenero being the spiciest). Adam sampled the pizza, then turns to the chef and started quoting rapper DMX.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: For the 190 pound burger challenge (no that's not a typo) in Detroit, Adam recruited help from an entire local football and hockey team's lineups, a local firefighter precinct, a roller derby squad, Mexican lucha libre wrestlers, and a [[Kiss]] cover band in full makeup
