'''Topikal:''' "Yeah, I know. I actually like him a little better now."<br />

-Beat-<br />

* [[Big No]]: Alex made several as bandunk used his warp block in [[Mario Party]] to overtake him and [http://www.tippingforties.com/videos.aspx?key=247 got the star.]

** Ryo lets out a [[Big No]] in the first episode of their Shenmue LP, which is lampshaded by Benson.

* [[Book Ends]]: Final Fantasy X was their first LP, its sequel was their final one.

* [[Broken Streak]]: They managed 90 videos of not using [[The Scrappy|Presea]] until a [http://www.tippingforties.com/Videos.aspx?key=219 scripted event] forced them to. Needless to say they were crushed.

** Ryan seems to have taken to being the most noticably drunk in the ''middle'' of a session, although this may just be because of his drink choice.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

'''Marvelis''' "I [[Precision F-Strike|fuckin']] hate this game..." }}

** Bandunk calling himself by a variation on his name, often a word related to what's happening with -dunk on the end.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: While wandering around in New Vegas, bandunk managed to find a Lucky 38 VIP Keycard and states that he knows what has to do. {{spoiler|Upon confronting Mr. House, rather than doing any quests for him, he uses the Keycard to instantly gain access to the Control Room, where he [[And I Must Scream|deactivates him]], thereby cutting off an entire ending before he even started.}}

* [[Cherry Tapping]]: In [[Tales of Symphonia]] the 40s unintentionally do Forcystus in with Colette's Pow Hammer (seen [http://www.tippingforties.com/Videos.aspx?key=203 here], around 21 minutes in). Their reactions to this are great.

* [[The Chew Toy]]: Despite the Forties hating every game they've played in general, some characters manage to be at the forefront of their hatred; Tidus from [[Final Fantasy X]], Otacon, Johnny AND Sunny from [[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]], and Presea from [[Tales of Symphonia]]. The latter is probably the queen of this, inspiring mocking or anger every time she even speaks.

** No love (hate) for Kimahri? They hated him so much that they planned to finish off the final boss by having him use Self-Destruct. Of course, being drunk, they sort of forgot.

** [[Hurricane of Puns]]: [http://www.tippingforties.com/Videos.aspx?key=155 A Tad Mad at Bad Rad.]

* [[Is It Something You Eat?]]?

'''bandunk:''' "Ya [http://www.tippingforties.com/videos.aspx?key{{=}}274 chopped Doak!]" <br />

'''Benson:''' "Chopped Doak? Chop-Doak."<br />

* [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: Benson doesn't like games where it's impossible to die, like [[Bioshock]] and [[Fable II]].

* [[Jerkass]]: Marvelis.

'''Alex:''' "Shut the fuck up." <br />

'''Benson:''' "...that's fair." }}

* [[Non-Action Snarker]]: bandunk tends not to play, at least in [[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots|MGS4]] and [[Final Fantasy X|FFX]], choosing rather just to lampshade and snark at-will. At one point he just hands his controller to Bandunk's Wife to get her to play Raine so he could take a [[Accidental Pun|rain check.]]

** Unprecedently broken for the New Vegas LP, in which bandunk takes the wheel. He's not particularly good at it.

* [[Now That's Using Your Teeth]]: ''[[Memetic Mutation|Solid Snake catches bullets with his teeth?]]''

* [[Once Per Episode]]: Many of the videos end with bandunk being [[Lost in Transmission|cut off mid-sentence]].

** "So what's everyone drinking today?"

** "So what did you learn?"

'''bandunk:''' "Aaaaand I'm bandunk... or Micheal." }}

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: While most of the gang has taken to going by their real names, Michael still tends to be called bandunk.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Very common, especially to [[Legends of the Hidden Temple]], [[Short Circuit]] and [[Star Fox 64]].

** This bit from Fable 2, when the [[Evil Tower of Ominousness|Spire]] is first introduced:

'''Ryan:''' "Is this [[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within|Final Fantasy the Spirits Within]]?"<br />

'''Benson:''' "You gettin' any [[Half-Life 2]] flashbacks here?"<br />

* [[The Show Must Go On]]: See [[We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties]]. Lost or defective recordings, broken equipment, or corrupted save files have yet to stop them from their surprisingly good schedule track record.

* [[Silent Partner]]: Silent Roommate. Sort of.

'''Silent Roommate''' "..." }}

* [[Slash Fic]]: During the FFX LP, the guys would read slash fiction about the characters to pass the time during the boring to watch temples. One written by a fan even managed to name an episode. See [[Unusual Euphemism]].

** Recently taken back into practice for the [[Tales of Symphonia]] LP. Apparently the [[Metal Gear Solid]] ones were all "too creepy."

** Episodes featuring [[Slash Fic]]:

*** [http://www.tippingforties.com/Videos.aspx?key=14 Barthello: Shakespearean Tragedy]

* [[Unnecessary Combat Roll]]: Seen frequently in Fugitive Hunter and a drinking condition in [[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|Golden Eye 1997]].

** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] during Fugitive Hunter by Benson when he pointed out that you couldn't hit them when they rolled, but they couldn't hit you either so it was pointless.

** Seen even MORE frequently in their [[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|Golden Eye 1997]] let's play. They even made a drinking game where the current person playing has to drink every time an enemy action rolls.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: [http://www.tippingforties.com/Videos.aspx?key=70 Vulnerable Brown Cave]'

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: [http://tippingforties.com/Videos.aspx?key=422 Bandunk decides to play the game his own way.]

** To elaborate, one accidental trip to H&H Tools lead [[Non-Action Guy|Bandunk]] to formulate the happenings in the video above, much to everyone's surprise.
