Recurring Gags
Three PS3s
It is often asserted that Paul has Three PS3s. Also, he has this cake.
James is The Cop
Anytime there's a cop character, the part tends to be played by James. This was lampshaded in CommodoreHUSTLE 11 - Showdown.

Ridiculous Hat
The LRR crew is in possession of a large green tiger-striped and furry top hat. Most prominently featured in All The Little People, it has appeared most times silly headgear is required.
The ridiculous hat has also been seen in Ways to Avoid Christmas and More Room To Grow.
The Sam Raimi
Main Article: The Sam Raimi
In most "X Ways to Y" sketches, the final gag is The Sam Raimi, which involves a blurry camera swooping around, either chasing someone or descending on an unsuspected target related to the video.
Graham and Paul Sharing A Bed
Graham and Paul have never lived together, but they are occasionally seen in full pajamas, sleeping in the same bed. This was seen in Ways to X2Y The LoadingReadyRumble
Kathleen Is Afraid Of Bears
Kathleen's ursaphobia has been referenced at least once is most media LRR has created, appearing in OMG! Bears!, commodoreHUSTLE 09 - Growl, A Little TOO Human, Phailhaüs - 09 and Phailhaüs - 26.
Uwe Boll
Uwe Boll is a film director who primarily makes poor video game adaptations. He's been referenced in PSA: Uwe Boll, Uwe Boll: An Apology and Uwe Boll: Decision 2008. Because he lived in Vancouver, Graham was actually able to interview the man himself in An Interview with Uwe Boll. The LRR crew has buried the hatchet with Uwe Boll, but the LRR crew will still rib him if the opportunity presents itself.
MEANWHILE!
Alex announced "Meanwhile!" into a bullhorn during The Whatever Thing Hyut!, which was often used as a segue.
Former Running Gags
Nate Never Talks - Nate Mosher had a long history of not talking in videos (e.g. Down with the Sickness.) This was broken with Eyewitness Accounts, much to the crew's chagrin.
Paul Looks Like Gordon Freeman/Paul Shaving Off His Beard Would Be Bad - Ever since the first Desert Bus for Hope, Paul's strong resemblance to the protagonist of the Half-Life game series has often been mentioned by fans. Alex inaccurately predicted in Ask An Alex 01 that Paul shaving would bring the end of the world. After the events of The Shavening, this hasn't come to pass, and the comparisons to Gordon Freeman have ceased.
Tim Looks Like Matt - At the beginning of Tim's tenure with LRR, his resemblance to Matt was often the source of humor. As Tim grew a beard and he was more established, this was dropped, for the most part.
