{{creatortropes}}
* [[Aborted Arc|Aborted Playthrough]]: Their second run of ''Sonic '06'' -- lack of material and/or interest got the better of them.
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: FTA's line during the ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' playthrough (before the Dark Moray boss), which could be considered an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] if not for the fact that NTom ''applauded'' him for it:
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
** In the ''[[Seltzer and Friedberg|Disaster Movie]]'' commentary, both Tom and Ron were genuinely amused when the main character was accidentally impaled by [[The Chronicles of Narnia|Prince Caspian]], even though it was only a dream sequence.
** They also decided this about a single joke in ''The Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White'' (the fact that the dwarfs eat shortcake for dessert).
* [[AllAny IsTorment WellYou ThatCan EndsWalk WellAway From]]: From the ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' playthrough:
{{quote|'''Tails:''' All's well that ends well, right?
'''FTA:''' ''THE CITY'S BEEN FUCKING DESTROYED!'' }}
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
* [[Angrish]]: "Restart your sentence, kthnx." (NTom, to FTA after a bout of this trope during the ''Sonic '06'' playthrough)
** Tom himself isn't immune to this, as he and Ron slipped into it a few times during the ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' commentary.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Helldragon sums up ''[[Dragon BallDragonball Evolution]]'':
{{quote|'''Helldragon:''' [[Cluster F-Bomb|Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit,]] lettuce.}}
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: "Hellfire", natch.
Line 72 ⟶ 71:
* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]: "Excuse me for ten seconds, please *leaves computer* WHAT THE FUCK!"
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Despite NTom and FTA's constant arguing and insults, there are times when they'll actually agree. Not much, though...
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't bring up the Captain mission from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic '06]]'' to FTA, trust us on that one. When that came around, he completely ''snapped'':
{{quote|'''FTA:''' ...WHAT?! You're fucking jo- please tell me you're joking on that, please tell me, [[Idiot Plot|tell me he]], I, just, ....e-e-excuse me for ten seconds please..." (Leaves his mic) "WHAT THE FUCK?! GRAAAAAAHH!"<ref>During the Sonic Unleashed commentary, FTA reveals that {{spoiler|the reaction used in the actual Sonic 06 LP was staged, though it ''was'' genuine the first time he saw it.}}</ref>}}
** Don't EVER call their playthroughs "[[Let's Play|Lets Plays]]", unless you want NTom to kill you.
Line 165 ⟶ 164:
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Ron and Daniel slip into this during the ''Half-Life 2'' playthrough, [[Rule of Funny|for no real reason.]]
* [[Goddamned Bats|Goddamned ]] ''[[Running Gag|BAAAAAAATS]]'': Helldragon's worst in-universe enemy.
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Tom and DCE very nearly lost their sanity during the dramatic reading of ''Twilight''. DCE even described their insane breakdown with excessive [[Purple Prose]], [[Take That|just like Twilight would have.]]
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Whenever they do commentary on something, but forget just how bad or [[Mind Screw|ridiculous]] it actually is (or are well aware, and [[What Were You Thinking?|go with it anyway]]), with [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|predictable]] [[Hilarity Ensues|results]]. ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', ''The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl'', and ''Dragonball Evolution'' are all good examples, and possibly ''Sonic '06'' as well.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: This occurred during their first ''Sonic '06'' playthrough (during the Trial of Love), when a glitch led Tom to believe that you ''had'' to choose [[Interspecies Romance|Elise]] [[Unfortunate Implications|in order to proceed]].
** and also while doing [[That One Level|Atlantica]] in the [[Kingdom Hearts II]] playthrough, specifically during the final song.
Line 190 ⟶ 189:
** In an attempt to fight back against Tom's puns, Helldragon has delved into this as well. ("''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Terra]]''ble!")
* [[Informed Ability]]: AxelRyman, BigAl2K6, Captainblue50, and LuizPrower are all members of the group, despite not having appeared too often, if at all.
** They have appeared in commentaries, but most of them aren't available. Axel starred in an ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'' playthrough (cancelled), Alan starred in a commentary of the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros]]'' movie, Captainblue50 was in the ''Ben10'' live-action film commentary with DCE, along with a ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' playthrough (cancelled), and Luiz starred in a ''Sonic Rewards Compilation'' playthrough (removed).
** Cloud8745 was also a member briefly for 5 videos or so of the Pokemon Emerald playthrough (removed) before THD was a regular.
** Luiz was also involved in something [[Street Fighter]] related, but it was never released.
Line 201 ⟶ 200:
* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: During a live stream, Tom once forgot that there was a level after the final boss of [[Sonic Colors]], and went to get a drink, expecting the credits to roll. He came back missing about ten lives.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: The Disney-thon spawned a couple of them [[In-Universe|for the commentators]] -- Coach Bolton (''High School Musical'') and Persian Wolverine (''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'').
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: Helldragon compares the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Egg Genesis]] boss fight to [[Console Wars|the downfall of SEGA]]:
{{quote|'''Helldragon:''' ...well, pieces fly off, it slowly [[It Got Worse|gets worse]]; soon its core is compromised and it blows up everywhere, but really it's SEGA's fault because [[Tactical Suicide Boss|it built itself]] [[Attack Its Weak Point|with a giant "FUCK ME" light on the very bottom]].}}
** Also later, as the boss is crashing:
Line 221 ⟶ 220:
'''Tom:''' Well, the point is on the end of the spear.
(A [[beat]] is heard, followed by an audible slapping noise.) }}
** This exchange from the [[Dragon BallDragonball Evolution]] commentary.
{{quote|'''Helldragon:''' What is that structure in the background, the one with the big fuckin hole in it, what is that?
'''Tom:''' Looks to be part of an ''oval office'', if you will.
Line 273 ⟶ 272:
{{quote|'''NTom:''' [[Pokémon: The Movie 2000|Lawrence III]]'s Upgraded Styrofoam Fortress [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|versus a Dragon Mech]] for no reason.<br />
'''THD:''' But it would be the ''best'' reason... 'cause it'd be kickass -- [[Rule of Cool]], people, come on. }}
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: A mild case; whenever the work they're commenting on [[Mind Screw|stops making sense]], their commentary starts to [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|fall apart]], often with [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious results]].
* [[Say My Name]]: FTA likes making fun of Tom's "[[Opening Narration|Hello, I'm NTom64]]" intro line (see [[Running Gag]] above). Tom's actually called him out on it once or twice.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: There's a schedule? Also lampshaded quite frequently. For example, during the ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' playthrough, Sora & co. entered a doorway at one point and come out on the other side ... nine months later.
