* [[Strange Syntax Speaker]]: "Often inverted in his syntax is UFC commentator Mike Goldberg, [[Verbal Tic|Joe]]!" He does it as an apparent tactic to avoid repetition. On rare occasions it rubs off on his partner [[Joe Rogan]].
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: James Gardner [https://web.archive.org/web/20140319140309/http://www.rakdam.com/images/Shinya%20Aoki%20vs.%20David%20Gardner.gif takes a moment] to wave to the camera while grappling wizard Shinya Aoki has his back. Both commentators [[Face Palm]] at the obvious outcome.
