* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: A comment on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDEZusSDIe8&ob=av3e Episode 2 of Yoshi's Tropical Island] compared the main three to [[Ed Edd and Eddy]], with [[Gentle Giant|NCS being Ed,]] [[Smart Guy|Chugga as Edd]], and [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Jon as Eddy.]]
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: With three of the most popular LPers on [[YouTube]] collaborating, this was to be expected.
** The reveal of some of the competitors in the Smash bros. Brawl tournament caused this reaction, like [[Retsupurae|Diabetus]], who was previously rumored to be a guest Guy.
** The post-''Mario Party 2'' announcement that [[Is It a Good Idea Toto Microwave This?|Jon Paula]] would be joining the Guys for Mario Power Tennis.
** Many people wanted ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land (Video Game)|KirbysKirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' to be a LP, and then on May 18, 2012, it was announced as one.
* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: The tournament finals, {{spoiler|1=Jon vs. SyKhotic/Hunter, with Jon winning}}. The battle wasn't particularly exciting, and {{spoiler|Hunter}} kept making bad jumps that cost himself the win.
* [[Base Breaker]]: All three of the guys are this to some extent.
Line 17:
** When {{spoiler|Diabetus}} beat {{spoiler|Chugga}} in the ''Brawl'' tournament, {{spoiler|Chugga's}} fans pretty much raged, saying how he deserved to win instead. The comment section later contained a lot of death threats for {{spoiler|Diabetus}}.
** See Anti-Climax Boss above. The fans were all whiny on how the whole thing turned out.
* [[Fan Myopia]]:
** Jon and NCS discover Chuggaa hasn't seen [[Back to The Future]] or [[Indiana Jones]], or ever played a [[Metal Gear Solid]] game. The mind blowing rivals the time Jon found out Mario Party has canon.
*** This conversation is almost replicated exactly in the second LP when Josh finds out that Chuggaa hasn't seen said movies.
** ProtonJon isn't immune to that himself. He doesn't watch [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]], or a lot of TV for that matter.
** History repeats itself when Tim reveals that he has never seen ''[[Scarface]]'', meaning all three of them had this to one extent.
** And again when Chuggaa says he doesn't like the jazz remix of [[Kirby Super Star (Video Game)|Revenge of Meta Knight.]]
* [[Fan -Preferred Couple]]: Many people during the ''Brawl'' tournament think Chuggaa and Donnabellez are cute together.
** Not exclusive to the [[Tournament Arc|Tournament]], but many also seem to feel that way about [[Platonic Life Partners|Tim and Lucahjin]].
** And some just go straight for the [[Foe Yay|Jon/Chugga.]]
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]
** Jon often has the most number of lives during the run as the viewers know it. Think back to the original Kaizo LP and the following words in the final main episode:
{{quote| '''Jon''': I've got 37 lives, I'm set.}}
** He finally reached 99 lives in Episode 11. He then reached and stayed at 99 for a long period in Episode 14.
** Also, the Iggy/Lemmy confusion. While Jon claims to have "[[Precision F -Strike|fucking]] played Mario World" a large number of times, [[Game Mod|it's not like he's actually played the]] ''[[Game Mod|original]]'' [[Game Mod|that many times...]]
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: In Episode 15 of ''SMB Wii'', [http://youtu.be/d5heDCBsKPU?t=14m26s here, to be exact], Tim {{spoiler|jumps on the flagpole, gets a 1-Up, then bubbles, and is suddenly not in the bubble. To add greatness, they got fireworks.}}
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: In Episode 3 of ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land (Video Game)|KirbysKirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Chugga makes an extremely squeaky voice for Magolor that Jon freaks about:
{{quote| '''Jon:''' What is this? No seriously, ''what'' is this?}}
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:
** One of the beta names for the channel, Loud Players, turned out to be true. During LP #2's recording, the guys accidentally woke up a lady by being... well, too loud.
*** Starting at Episode 7 of Subspace Emmisary, they've been recording at Jon's house instead of a hotel like usual. Without having to worry about disturbing other people, they can be as loud as they want, ''and they take full advantage of this.'' Even Tim is yelling!
Line 42:
*** Playing Hot Rope Jump and [[Tempting Fate]] by saying "Somebody die here!". Hilariously, the first character to get burnt is DK. On top of that, Mario was the winner of that round.
*** Likewise:
{{quote| '''NCS:''' Don't let Wario win! Go Chugga!<ref>It's just an DK NPC, but NCS dubbed him "Chugga"</ref> Go Chugga! [[Tempting Fate|I mean, Chugga's got this!]] {{spoiler|''[He doesn't got this.]''}}}}
*** This comment during a game of Archer-ival:
{{quote| '''NCS:''' You guys stay over there. Don't trap me against the side, now. ''[He gets trapped and shot two seconds later]''}}
*** Wario's AI being a complete doofus in 2 player games. Particularly in one Sky Pilots game.
{{quote| '''NCS:''' ''[Talking to Wario]'' Dude, what are you doing? Go through the rings! Do you ''want'' me to lose?}}
*** He even won a Tile Driver half of a second before DK would have!
** They bring up in their LP of the first Mario Party how, canonically, Wario is the Super Star. Later, in Mario Party 2, they play as Wario for Minigame Coaster, and at the end they are told that they "shall attain Super Stardom".
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
** Attempted, succeeded, and lampshaded by Chuggaa, Wario's "DOH I MISSED" clip from his German VA.
** And by extension, many people can no longer forget Chugga's infamous intro to NSMBW Episode 1-2 with the Jetsons theme song.
** [[Terminator|Cyber]] [[Pikmin|Steve]].
* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: "''[[Mario Party (Video Game)|D'oh, I missed!]]''"
* [[Never Live It Down]]:
** [[Proton Jon|"Don't eat the mushroom," "Move faster Pokey"]], and [[Chuggaaconroy|Steve the red Pikmin]]. If they've said something memetic or that they now regret, it will be made fun of at some point.
** Subverted in the case of NCS. None of his famous lines from his past are made fun of at any time during any of the videos.
** Chuggaa's doing this for Josh's [[Failed a Spot Check]] on episode 14 now.
** The Bonus Episode of Brawl is this for Tim.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]:
** Jon's clean sweep in Battle Mode for Mario Kart 64, due to the original E3 video being lost.
** And with it, Tim [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomping]] the others at Rainbow Road. Luckily, he did almost as well in the new video.
* [[That One Boss]]: Duon gave Jon and Tim a real hard time.
* [[That One Level]]:
** Chuggaa considers Wario's Battle Canyon to be this. Throughout the whole game, only two stars are purchased.
** Peach's Birthday Cake is also described as one at the start.
** NCS refers to World 2-4 in [[New Super Mario Bros Wii (Video Game)|New Super Mario Bros. Wii]] as "the worst [level] in the first five worlds." Indeed, the Runaway Guys collectively lose '''22''' lives in that level, not counting murders.
** World 7 in ''NSMB Wii''. Especially what happens in Episode 14.
** Level 9-3, so, so much. It wins for the most times they've had to repeat a level.
