[[ScrewAttack]], officially known as ScrewAttack Entertainment LLC, is a video game-related Web site that showcases original entertainment for an audience of video game enthusiasts. Its content is also shown on GameTrailers.com and IGN. The name and logo come from the "
They've even developed their own iPhone game, ''[[The Texting Of The Bread]]'', an obvious parody of ''[[House of the Dead|Typing of the Dead]]''.

* [[Arc Words]]: For months prior to the announcement of the first Screwattack Gaming Convention, the letters SGC would appear randomly in videos.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Sort of — "Metal Gear Ben" was originally featured as a skit on ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' in the Clip of the Week before it became popular enough to warrant its own series.
Line 24 ⟶ 22:
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Some of the Screwattack interns were already members of the g1 community before they got hired.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Street Fighter. So much so, that their review was just every single member of the team telling you to buy it.
* [[Berserk Button]]: In character, do not mention ''[[
** For the fan base, insulting any of the team is this, but it escalates when someone insults the only girl who works at the site. One particular troll made an especially sexist remark about Corey in one video; the fanbase returned fire in the same thread immediately, and some praised Corey for standing up for herself when she personally broadsided him.
** For the moderators on Screwattack, any variation of the question "Where is Handsome Tom?".
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Nervous Nick is blamed anytime something breaks.
** Daily Destin - In a ''Clip of The Week'' featuring Nervous Nick turning into a Toucan that eats people (It makes sense in context), Corey grabs an "In Case of Emergency" Shotgun to shoot Nick, she turns and shoots Destin instead when he walks out of a door. When asked why she shot Destin & not Nick, she responds "It was the greater evil" and everyone else just goes with it. Then when Nick returns to normal, we get this little exchange:

'''Freelance Bryan The Intern:''' What about Destin?
'''Jose El Mexicano:''' Dude - "Nobody important". }}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Daily Destin is the most prominent example, but everyone has their moments of it.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - When a gigantic velociraptor was going to cause the end of the world on May 21st 2011, Ben walked up while people were planning what to do and just shot it in the head.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Before Chad officially joined the Screwattack family as the resident merchandise guy, he could be briefly seen in the [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/screwattacks-reasons-screwattack/33664 Reasons Why You Should or Should not Trade in your Wii] as a creepy sales associate near the end of the video. He also played the [[Mook|Mooks]] in the second Metal Gear Ben Clip of The Week.
* [[Cute Kitten|Everything's Cuter With Kittens]] in order to attempt to justify ''[[
** Namely, they use a montage of the game they are mentioning with the characters having kitten heads if they do not want to explain how good the game is for the ump-teenth time. (This was done for ''[[
* Fandom: Of [[Street Fighter|Zangief]], of all people.
* [[Fascinating Eyebrow]]: Jared frequently employs this on Hard News.
Line 45 ⟶ 43:
* [[Nice Hat]]: Stuttering Craig's cap.
* [[Pinball Scoring]]: "One point per block? At least put a few extra zeroes on the end to make it feel like an achievement!"
* [[Running Gag]]: Corey accidentally making a sexual remark, and then immediately realising it.▼
* [[Red Baron]]: Everyone on the team. Ever.▼
** Jose eating Ben, usually when he's dressed up as Metal Gear Ben - So much so, that the only line Jose had in the first episode of ''Metal Gear Ben'' was "I'm gonna eat you."▼
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Metal Gear Ben — The first episode was to debut at SGC 2009, but non-attendees had to wait until November to see it. Why? Because due to preparation for SGC, and the fact that they started shooting the series at the end of winter, they ''had only shot two episodes, over half a year after anouncing the series.''▼
** And Metal Gear Ben caused ''another'' schedule slip — Corey lost a bet, which meant she had to dye her hair blonde. Except they had to wait until after MGB was shot to do it for continuity, and by the time they had finished filming, Corey was going onto a part-time schedule. In a moment that's [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], they could have dyed Corey's hair soon after she lost the bet, as Metal Gear Ben's filming went on hold for several months.▼

* [[Take That]]: Craig's NSFW warning for the Goriest Black Ops Moments is a shot at bad parenting and the blame that games make kids violent.
