Anti-Humor | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_1881fc5c | comment |
Anti-Humor: The channel loves anti-humor. Groan-inducing jokes, which often get immediately explained or dragged out to the point of absurdity, are very common, in addition to stilted acting, shoddy production values, deliberately hackneyed plots in the Mid-Review Sketch Show, and alarming shifts in tone. It's all so horribly unfunny that it's hilarious. The Grabowskis is essentially one long exercise in parodying the sitcom format with antihumor. Mike discusses his love of antihumor during the Half in the Bag review of PG: Psycho Goreman. | |

Twist Ending | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_19102429 | comment |
Twist Ending: In "Das Foot", there's a guy going around chopping off women's feet. It looks like it's Mike's character. It turns out that he did chop the 1st woman's foot off. But the guy behind the rest of them was her fiancé. He was trying to find a replacement foot for her after she died. | |

Trolling Creator | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_1e0bb316 | comment |
Trolling Creator: The guys will occasionally reference a work that the fans are obviously calling on them to review, but then instead review something else. In their Enemy Mine and Midnight Mass videos, both hosts mention having seen Dune before spending the rest of the video talking about something else. The guys had amassed a huge collection of the film Nukie on VHS but seemed steadfast in their refusal to review it on Best of the Worst. In their 100th Best of the Worst episode, they filled the entire board of Plinketto with Nukie tapes, making it look like they would finally review it, but after the Pinketto ball landed on one of the tapes, Rich placed the Neil Breen film Fateful Findings over it, and they watched that instead. When they finally did review it, it was as part of a larger video mocking the new speculator market around VHS tapes, and the actual part dedicated to reviewing Nukie was two minutes long. They did release a full ten-minute video dedicated to the film later. | |

In Case of X, Break Glass | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_22ffc004 | comment |
In Case of X, Break Glass: After a Best of the Worst episode in which Max Landis made a guest appearance and brought Double Down, a Neil Breen film, as one of the three movies to review, the RLM crew kept another Breen film under a glass container in the studio marked with "In Case of Max Landis, Break Glass." After sexual assault allegations were leveled at Landis, the RLM channel de-listed Double Down, and the glass case was quietly relabeled "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass." The crew eventually did break the glass and watched the film when another film they had scheduled to review proved unwatchable. | |

Spiritual Successor | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_27a42ebc | comment |
Quick Cuts was the studio's first attempt at a serious, straightforward review show with no gimmicks. The idea was that any of the crew could produce their own segment whenever the mood struck them. The problem was the only person the mood ever seemed to strike was Jay, who hosted the first four episodes before stopping, not wanting Quick Cuts to become "The Jay Show". The Spiritual Successor shows, Re:View and X and Y Talk About..., notably both feature pairs instead of just one person. | |

Orphaned Series | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_2c18b9a3 | comment |
Orphaned Series: GameStation 2.0 was a parody of your typical late noughties video game review show, hosted by Rich Evans, with a weird, nonsensical "plot" for a framing device, produced during the brief period when RLM was affiliated with Machinima. The show abruptly ceased production pretty much as soon as the partnership with Machinima did, with two Spiritual Successor series: Previously Recorded for the video game review content, and The Nerd Crew for the parody of review shows. Quick Cuts was the studio's first attempt at a serious, straightforward review show with no gimmicks. The idea was that any of the crew could produce their own segment whenever the mood struck them. The problem was the only person the mood ever seemed to strike was Jay, who hosted the first four episodes before stopping, not wanting Quick Cuts to become "The Jay Show".

| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: Played for laughs in the fourth episode of "The Nerd Crew", titled "The Last Jedi Trailer Breakdown and Analysis!". A big part of of it is spent by Jay, Mike, and Rich giving shout-outs to their fake sponsors—various parodies of Loot Crate and similar products. When they do get around to actually talking about the trailer, Rich gives his impressions about it but accidentally talks about Thor: Ragnarok's trailer instead. By the time the misunderstanding is brought up, Jay simply says they have no time left and the episode ends. | |

| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_569a95e9 | comment |
The Teetotaler: While the hosts of most shows drink pretty heavily during filming, Rich Evans does not drink at all and usually sips on water or Diet Coke. This is never drawn attention to and sometimes cleverly obfuscated. During the Ghostbusters (2016) episode of Half in the Bag, the three hosts supposedly down a shot of Crystal Skull Vodka, but an edit skips over the part where Mike hands out the shots he's poured, suggesting that the shot Rich actually drinks was probably just water. When the others get really drunk, Rich sometimes will make an Aside Glance to camera and will take on the role of Only Sane Man. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: The Covid-19 pandemic forced some retooling of the franchise, as well as being a subtopic of much of the commentary. Half in the Bag had Mike and Jay sitting six feet apart surrounded by towers of stockpiled toilet paper. They looked even more dishevelled and deranged than usual. They also had to resort to discussing Netflix releases and small independent films, as cinemas were closed and the bigger premieres were postponed. The Plinkett Review of Star Trek: Picard was solely voiceover of series and stock footage, without any skits filmed of Plinkett and his cats. Re:View had the chairs moved further apart and the presenters wearing masks. The film/series posters in the back were replaced by news stills relating to the pandemic. Best of the Worst was put on hiatus, with no new episodes released between March 7th and Jun 20th. | |

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Cliff Grabowski to an extreme. He is neglectful and abusive towards his baby son Sammy, doing things such as getting his head stuck on a sewer grate and intentionally electrocuting him with his microwave, and murders his wife twice over things such as not wanting to fix the lock to their apartment. | |

He Lampshaded it when Mike promised to fix one of his gaffes in post-production, laughing that what Mike meant was he'd exaggerate it with Jump Cut editing and a downloadable .gif. | |

Hypocrisy Nod: A promo-video has Mike and Jay taking about reboots and remakes, and Mike points how the business model of Hollywood seems to be that if something doesn't work you should just start over and redo it. Examples includes Fantastic Four (2005) being replaced by Fantastic Four (2015), Superman Returns being replaced by Man of Steel, Hulk being replaced by The Incredible Hulk (2008), Spider-Man being replaced by The Amazing Spider-Man, and finally Gamestation 2.0 being replaced by Previously Recorded. | |

Only Sane Employee: Rich Evans is technically RLM's only employee (Mike and Jay are co-owner/operators) and he is often presented as performing this function when "out of character", being tortured by the mercurial, deranged antics of Mike, and being called upon to do virtually all of the hard labor required to keep the studio running (he builds all the sets and manufactures all the props, among many other menial tasks). | |

Overly Long Gag: Used in a number of videos. One such example is the Chad Vader episode of The Grabowskis in season 5. The couple initially think that Chad Vader is hysterical, but after a few versions of his basic schtick, they stop laughing and just stare at him. The end of the episode has another example, in which the couple does nothing but cry about a tragic accident for several long minutes. | |

Mr. Plinkett's response to the message is to pour a cup of coffee on the answering machine before the message is even over, causing it to short out. | |

Mike has a panic attack upon learning that Disney has also monopolized the health care industry. | |

Catchphrase | |

Catchphrase: Rich Evans is prone to shrieking "Oh my god!", which seems to have caught on with other members such as Mike and Jay, to the point that it's become a common joke and frequently written into their gags. Here's a super cut. "That's right, Jay" and "Are you saying...?" Mike also frequently shouts at the top of his lungs, "Ooooooooooh FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK." The Nerd Crew has "Very cool", said with as much mock-sincerity as possible. Jay frequently says "Oh, no!" and "How embarrassing!" when witnessing or discussing something his dislikes. Jay saying "I guess we should talk about..." with the faintly concerned tone of a parent who's been trying to put off discussing his child's paste-eating habit. Usually followed by "Should we get into spoilers?" Rich is also known for saying "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS". | |

Take That! | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Chad Vader is mocked several times in RLM's early years, with Chad Vader himself appearing in an episode of The Grabowskis where (in typical series fashion) he is mocked repeatedly for the one-note premise of his own series. In Half in the Bag, during the interview with Alexandre Philippe, Mike takes a moment to observe how the many parodies of Darth Vader have diluted the impact of his character and specifically calls out Chad Vader. This may just be a Milwaukee-Madison rivalry thing, however. Star Trek Discovery Season 2 In a Nutshell opens with a title card declaring it a product of "CBS All Ass" and spirals from there, mocking the show's contrived plots, sloppy writing and bizarre obsession with "science, fuck yeah" moments. | |

Negative Continuity: The Nerd Crew have a recurring gag where one of them is out for a paycheck and isn't familiar with the classic films in whatever franchise they're shilling, but they can never keep straight which one it is.

Self-Deprecation | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: The hosts frequently disparage themselves and their channel for the sake of humor. After referring to George Lucas as a "hack fraud," the hosts often level the same criticism at themselves, to the point that this has become a hallmark of the channel's fandom. The hosts are quick to criticize their own feature-length films and sometimes even jokingly urge people not to watch them. The hosts make a lot of cracks about Jay Bauman's short height, which is often pronounced by appearing onscreen with Mike and Jack, who are both over six feet tall. When he has to use a Scully Box to make the framing line up better, they never fail to point it out afterward. The cast frequently make jokes that Rich is in poor health, with punchlines about him having "horrible diabetes." Rich's frequent malapropisms are always pointed out either by the hosts themselves in the moment or with onscreen text added later. Mike consulting notes written on a folded-up piece of printer paper. He'll often intentionally crinkle the paper as he handles it, with additional sound effects of crumpling paper added in. | |

Flanderization: The first Nerd Crew episode is an exceptionally dry, satirical troll job about three boring, soulless corporate stooges parroting actual fanboyisms. Successive episodes make them more exaggerated, turning them into trend chasing, sycophantic sellouts. However, as shown by this video, their behavior is not that much of an exaggeration from actual nerd culture channels. | |

Running Gag | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: In The Nerd Crew shorts, the gang plays a group of sell-out Star Wars groupies, but Jay will occasionally state that he has never even seen one of the Star Wars films previous to the one they're discussing. No one will react to this confession. | |

Don't Explain the Joke | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_fabef10f | comment |
Don't Explain the Joke: In season 5 of The Grabowskis, Chad Vader arrives to deliver groceries, causing the Laugh Track to go crazy. The husband wonders why, so the wife explains that Darth Vader is a dark and serious character, so putting him into innocuous situations like delivering groceries is funny. | |

Chromosome Casting | |
| RedLetterMedia (Web Video) / int_ffb79066 | comment |
Chromosome Casting: RLM in general is somewhat notorious for this. Although their movies and shows have had women in them, and some of their female collaborators have stuck around for a while, they all leave eventually. No women have appeared onscreen in any RLM project since 2016. | |
