| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) | comment |
How It's Actually Made is a web series parody of How It's Made created by Huggbees.The show follows a very similar format to the original show, showing the process through which everyday items are made during production, ranging from Foosball tables and skateboards to candies and so on.The difference is that the original show is all about the legitimate process of how things are made, whereas Actually is... Less than accurate.Rather than providing factual information about how things are made, the series is completely incorrect, riddled with unprofessional side comments thrown in, and it's all delivered in the exact same informative narration that the main series is known for. Hilarity Ensues.Huggbees' playlist for the series can be found here. Compare with the "Wow! It's Made" series by DaThings. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: A surprising amount of steps towards making everyday items involve white fluids, which the narrator almost always capitalizes on for comedic effect. | |

The process of making hot dogs in Hot Dogs involve adding copious amounts of corn syrup, because "all food products in America are legally required to be at least 10% sugar".

Dissonant Serenity: Played for laughs.

All of this is said as upbeat music plays and the narrator is as calm as ever. Usually. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: The narrator sometimes leads the audience on to a certain punchline, only to swerve into a different punchline. For example, he may sometimes talk about white fluids and how they're used to make things, only to reveal he's talking about something like liquid plastic... Only to then refer to it as "hardened industrial jizz". The whole series can qualify, really. Plenty of comments on the series' uploads are about how the viewer thought they were watching a legitimate episode of How It's Made before the narrator suddenly went into a tirade about penises or something along those lines. Even considering the above point, the Fishing Line and Office Chair episodes are this by virtue of being April Fools' Day jokes. | |

| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_ace24b2c | comment |
Halfway Plot Switch: A variant. At first, the Solid Tires episode starts off normally (about as normal as a How It's Actually Made episode can be, anyway), showcasing the process of solid tire manufacturing. Then, the scene switches to an assembly line of cheesecakes, which the narrator still narrates as solid tires. The video switches two more times to productions of boat paddles and globes before ending. | |

| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_b22ec591 | comment |
420, Blaze It: In Bicycles, the narrator is really excited to mention that the paint on the bicycle frames are baked at 420 degrees, pointing out "That's the weed number!" In Bread, the narrator explains that the multi-grain breads are baked at 420 degrees for about "weed joke" minutes. | |

Take That!: It happens quite a bit. The process of making hot dogs in Hot Dogs involve adding copious amounts of corn syrup, because "all food products in America are legally required to be at least 10% sugar". The episode also takes a shot at vegans, who the narrator says will always complain about the hot dog making process no matter how humane or efficient it is. In the Tequila episode: The episode opens with "Tequila is to Mexico as corruption is to China." The agave plant used to brew tequila is harvested by hand even to this day, "because Mexico has yet to enter the industrial age". In the Sugar episode: | |

Shout-Out | |
| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: All over the place. In Bacon, the bacon meats are prepared skin-side down so that the workers judge them only by the content of their character. Also, apparently the bacon factory workers really love playing Jenga. Bowling Ball had references to both NBA Jam and Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden of all things. Note that the episode on basketballs didn't. In Candles, the background music during the genocide and rebirth of men in The Matrix are the Eight Melodies. In Mozzarella Cheese, the narrator labels the "milk sweat-drainers" as "platforms from a Super Mario game". The miners from Gold apparently use the rocks to recreate their favourite episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion. In the end of Magnets, the narrator starts reciting (in very verbose detail) the famous lines about magnets spoken by "Cantankerous Jah" and "Hairy 2 Endo". In Revolvers, a man is seen engraving a revolver, with the narrator commenting that it provides no tactical advantage whatsoever. Later on in the video, the narrator says that most revolvers carry six shots, more than enough to kill anything that moves. Bicycles explains that bicycles are sometimes made of an alloy known as "Excadrill". Two to One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish: In Sardines, two fish are shown side by side, narrated as "Here is one fish, and two fish. Next week's batch will feature red fish and blue fish." A few ingredients that go into making erasers in Erasers are one powder, two powders, red powder, and blue powder. Also in Erasers, erasers are made by combining pink synthetic rubber and blue Hamon Stand. In Chocolate Mints, the narrator explains how the chocolate mints are sent through holes to be packaged, and that upon seeing the holes, many of the mints take off their clothes and scream "This is my hole, it was made for me!" before jumping in. In Roof Tiles, the titular roof tiles are made of spice melange harvested from the desert planet Arrakis. | |

| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Chocolate makes mention of the awakening of an amorphous entity simply called "The Beast", which the factory employees beat into submission with paddles. This apparently contributes to the process of making chocolate, but also stops The Beast from ushering in a thousand years of darkness. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At the end of an Overly Long Gag, in which the narrator just repeats how an egg is moved onto more and more conveyor belts, he gives a frustrated "Y'know what, fuck this," and ends the episode. In the Mozzarella Cheese episode, the narrator reads the same Long List note salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, orange peels, potato skins, shrimp, white wine, red wine, starches, gasses, cryptocurrencies, white pepper, regrets, and turkey. twice and (presumably) notices the third in the script. He gets about halfway through the list before giving off an agitated "Y'know what, fuck this!" | |

| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_e0c470a1 | comment |
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Played for laughs. On one of the episodes, the narrator stops his description of the process he was detailing to mention how people will put on the original to fall asleep to, but YouTube's autoplay function will cause his series to potentially play after a while, so he decides to play a joke on them by loudly shouting "WAKE UP" and then acting like nothing happened. | |

Unconventional Food Usage | |
| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_f1dcfb69 | comment |
Unconventional Food Usage: Many factory processes apparently involve foods being used in non-standard ways: Food ingredients and condiments are often used to flavor inedible objects, such as skateboards and rubber bands. In Bacon, the bacon carcasses are skinned by being sent through a cheese-rolling machine, where the meats are pelted by slices of Kraft singles. In Hot Dogs, the ground up meat trimmings used to make hot dogs are also sold as strings for high-quality mops. | |

Product Placement: The same as the original, which is often a topic of discussion by the narrator. In Soda Drinks he explains why the product is Kiri soda instead of Coke or Pepsi, explaining that Kiri was the only soda company with the balls to show you how it's made. In Yogurt the narrator believes the product is actually a name brand for once.. Only for it to be a generic product anyways. | |

Running Gag | |
| How It's Actually Made (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Filling and/or rinsing machines, and the sheer gusto the narrator usually has when describing their functions. Anytime one appears, he also has to clarify every time which one is which. To a lesser extent, the capping machine and the narrator's complete lack of aforementioned gusto. Occasional mentions of a man named Peter who fondles various products during their creation. Adding notes about workers handling food products with their bare unwashed hands are often placed in videos, sometimes with an added comment about enhancing their flavor. Any white powder that shows up will be either referred to as cocaine or a euphemism for it. The god damn motherfucking choo choo trains, which give the narrator almost as much, if not more, excitement than filling and rinsing machines do. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Happens frequently. China has this happen for the whole episode, where the narrator confuses "china", the word for porcelain, and "China", the country. Instead of explaining how porcelain is made, the narrator goes on an Artistic License – History tirade about how China was founded and how Chinese society functions. In Horses, the narrator describes the evolution and history of real horses over a video showcasing how horse statues are made. | |
