The Game Station itself provides examples of:

Colbert Bump: Now a natural occurrence on the TGS podcast. Almost every website or official website for a video game that is praised or even name dropped by the crew is crashed within the next 5 minutes.
Gamer Girl: Press Heart to Continue, Rinry Game Game, and Nintendo Fan Girl, among many others.
Podcast: A weekly one featuring Total Biscuit, Jesse Cox, and Dodger, plus one random guest.
Running Gag: Wailers in trees in the background of "Lore in a Minute" videos. Ever since a few complaints about the Pokémon lore involving the Kanto region that somehow contained a Wailmer (hiding in the forest, nonetheless), a Wailmer has sneaked itself in the Left 4 Dead and Guild Wars lores.
