Line 26:
* [[Dutch Angle]]: To an EXTREEEEME degree. The camera is always in somebody's face, and with each sentence they finish, it swings around to another angle. This show is not for the seasick.
* [[The Eighties]]: Plenty of references to things from that decade, not just Nintendo games, mostly seen in the background.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Dad, as shown in the second part of the [[Punch -Out!!]] review. Whereas Dad is only SLIGHTLY abusive to the boys, but still shown to genuinely care about them, his own pop was cruel, and not only had a crowd laugh at him but told him not to be a boxer because he didn't want him to "Sully the Sports good name". Sheesh.
* [[Greek Chorus]]: R.O.B., and sometimes the AVG man ("Ace. Feels. Guilty.").
* [[Halloween Episode]]: ''Video games are haunted!!''
Line 51:
'''Chet''': Hand, Ace! They're at the end of your arm? }}
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Dad will rattle off a few puns every now and then, usually to complete silence. Examples include, when reviewing a golf game, he rates it "Three out of ''fore''" and, after doing a rather embarrassing rap about the gift he has gotten Ace and Chet for Christmas, "Now that's what I call gift ''rapping''!"
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Dad's borderline child abuse (which escalates into outright child abuse in the ''[[Punch -Out!!]]'' episodes) just wouldn't fly were it not for how overblown the rest of the show is.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: ROB, first appearing in the ''Gyromite'' episode. His name even stands for "Robot Operating Buddy". Unfortunately he's not very helpful, as he immediately sets out to make Ace and Chet's lives miserable for leaving him in his box for several years. He simmers down in later episodes, but still chimes in every now and then to [[Snarky Non-Human Sidekick|berate Ace and Chet for their stupidity]].
* [[Running Gag]]: A couple, such as Dad's obvious disdain for Ace in comparison to his brother Chet and references to Vanilla Ice.
