Running Gags
There has been some running gags in the shorts.

The most obvious one is having Roll die, due to Otaka's love interest being Mega Man. Here is how she dies in the shorts:
 * Happy Christmas, Mega Man!: The band ROLL performs in the Christmas concert. Miss Roll (the lead singer of ROLL) presents a new song in front of everyone, "KAZE yo, Tsutaete..." which everybody hates. After she is done singing the song, the audience boos and throws tomatoes at her. Eventually, somebody shoots her, killing her.
 * Christmas Eve at Otaka's House: Roll disses the Toploader and Nintoaster, which causes an explosion to happen.
 * Even Slaves Celebrate Xmas: The band ROLL performs again. Miss Roll sings "Cleanup of My Soul", which everyone hates again. After the performance, Miss Roll advises everybody to buy a Game Boy (which is her favorite console), and someone in the audience sentences her to murder. Miss Roll dies.
 * Mega Man's Christmas Party: Roll says she doesn't like Kirby's Adventure and is hung.
 * Get Up, Get Down with the Sickness: Roll thinks Ryu Hayabusa shouldn't die. Her throat is slit by Otaka.
 * Evil Can Celebrate?!: Miss Roll, her fans, and her band ROLL are dancing on bleachers. The bleachers fall over, killing Miss Roll, her band, and the fans.
 * Is Mega Man Jealous of Bass?: Roll fails at the trumpet at Otaka's party, leading Proto Man to force her to commit suicide.

Some other running gags are:
 * Otaka squealing
 * Mega Man yelling "ONE SPECIAL ROBERT!" (this is an in-joke)
 * Otaka screaming "IT'S CHRISTMAS!" (Nostalgia Critic reference)
 * Miss Roll singing (which leads to the "Roll dies" gag)
 * Characters getting pissed off at the 1986 arcade game Rolling Thunder (usually freaked out by the Game Over screen).
 * Proto Man yelling "SNOW!"
 * "STUFF!" when Otaka's plans work
 * "EFFECTS!" whenever a character hears a laser zap, often referencing the 1982 Disney film TRON.
 * A Touhou meme being referenced (Sakuya's pads meme comes to mind, as well as Reimu's armpits meme)
 * Someone calling Capcom a god
 * Someone calling Sega a god (in-joke)
 * Characters thinking the Virtual Boy is awesome
 * The Virtual Boy is shown being played in "Christmas Eve at Otaka's House", where the screen is not red and black and is in color, a two-player link is shown, and actually is worth playing. (The game being played is Waterworld, and Otaka yells "STUFF!", referencing the Nostalgia Critic's review of the movie the game was based on.)
 * Mega Man collapsing when he gets sick
