Hypocritical Humor in Party Crashers videos.

In "Mario Party brings out the worst in you...", Vernias accepts the fact Brent is about to steal his Star, despite the fact that he was rather ticked off earlier when Sophist (secretly randomly) stole 10 coins from him clean off the bat. Sophist calls out Vernias' hypocrisy, to which Vernias explains that "it make sense", as he is literally the only option Brent has to steal a Star from, whereas Sophist stole from him seemingly for shits and giggles.
Sophist: Vern, how can you be so fine with this, yet I take ten coins from you-
Vernias: BECAUSE IT LITERALLY MAKES SENSE!
Sophist: I take ten coins from you and you're like: "WHAT THE SHIT?!"
Vernias: YOU MAKE ZERO SENSE!!
In "Least Toxic Mario Party game...", Brent and Sophist play Rock–Paper–Scissors to decide who Vernias will steal a Star from. When Sophist loses to Brent due to the latter playing Paper twice against the former's Rock, Sophist questions why Brent would play Paper twice in a row. Brent quickly retorts that Sophist did the exact same thing with Rock.
Sophist: Who does the same thing twice in a row?!
Brent: You, you mouth-breather!
In "Mario Party 2 is more TOXIC than I remember....", Vernias gets rather upset at Brent for accidentally landing on the Event Space that causes the train to knock him back to the start, despite the fact that Vernias himself was rather amused at the possibility of doing the same thing to Brent earlier when he had the chance. Brent calls out Vernias' hypocrisy in post-editing via flashback.
Vernias: Brent is the person who's trying to constantly cause my downfall. I don't like you, man.
Brent: Dude, I didn't mean to step on that!
Vernias: Yeah, you didn’t mean to run me over with a train. Oopsie, oopsie.
(video flashes back to when Vernias was riding the train)
Brent: Yeah, if [Vernias] got the Goomba, [he] would have went backwards and hit me.
Vernias: That would have been infinitely funnier honestly.
In "We tried Little Z's Smash Monopoly...", when Sophist argues that he should be able to make of Nick because Nick always makes fun of the others, Nick argues against it, claiming that only he is allowed make of others.
In "I got bullied in Mario Party 2...", when Nick tries convincing Sophist to steal Vernias' coins so he can't purchase the Star, Vernias rants about how they always target each other instead of Brent. Nick quickly retorts that Vernias isn't any better in that regard, as he was perfectly on board ganging up on Nick while they were all right next to the Boo earlier, something that was suggested by Brent no less.
Nick: Vernias! No, you literally were so on board, so ready to take three Stars from me, Vernias! I don't wanna HEAR IT!
In "The WORST Board in Mario Party 2...", Nick practices the Item Minigame five times in a row, despite the fact that he chastised Vernias earlier for practing it only once. Vernias calls out Nick's hypocrisy.
Vernias: This guy yells at me for doing one practice, and you do two! The audacity!
While racing on Yoshi Circuit in "we finally destroyed Birdo", Sophist chastises Brent for saving a Dash Mushroom for a shortcut. Brent quickly retorts that Sophist is also saving a Dash Mushroom for the exact same reason, to which Sophist claims that it's different when he does it.
Sophist: Of course [Brent] is saving a Mushoom like the try-hard he is, for a shortcut that he knows about.
Brent: You're literally saving [a Mushroom] for yourself, I don't wanna fucking hear it.
Sophist: (laughs) Yeah, but it's different when I do it, man.
In "Mario Party just got a whole lot worse", Nick chastises Sophist for stating that he's "spreading Bowser's cheeks" while playing Face Lift. Vernias quickly retorts that Nick isn't any better, as he always brings up Wario's "cake" when given the chance, to which Nick claims that it's different when he does it.
Sophist: Can you guys shut up? I'm trying to spread Bowser's cheeks.
Nick: Eevee, shut up, bro!
Vernias: Nick, you don't get to talk. You mention Wario's "cake" every turn.
Nick: Okay, that is entirely different!
In "an average game of Mario Party", Nick convinces Brent to do a gameshow to decide who gets their Star stolen between Nick and Vernias instead of just choosing Nick outright, despite the fact that Nick himself has constantly berated Brent in previous videos for being a "puppet master" trying to control the others for his own gain. Sophist and Vernias call out Nick's hypocrisy after the gameshow is over, to which Nick claims that it's okay when he does it.
Sophist: [Nick] calls other people out for being "puppet masters", yet he does the exact same thing.
Nick: Listen, I can't help that my charisma stat is maxed out.
In "Take half the Smash roster... THEN WE FIGHT", when Brent and Sophist win their second point, Nick berates them for playing as King Dedede and Mr. Game & Watch respectively, claiming they are "gimmicky" characters and that they take no skill to win. Brent quickly retorts that Nick isn't any better in that regard, as he was playing as Little Mac, who is arguably more "gimmicky" than both of the characters that they were using, to which Nick claims that the character he was using isn't important to the discussion.
Nick: No, Vernias, look at the characters they're using. They have to use gimmicks in order to win. We have to try our best.
Brent: You're playing Little Mac!
Nick: (laughs) Nonononono! Brent, that's not important!
In "Mario Party but we've never been so LUCKY", Nick celebrates getting 2nd place on Slap Down because it's better than 3rd or 4th place, despite the fact that he earlier stated how 2nd, 3rd, and 4th were equal while playing Water Whirled. Tam (Nick's main editor) calls out Nick's hypocrisy via flashback, to which Nick explains in post-editing that Water Whirled is a regular minigame where only 1st place benefits, whereas Slap Down is a Battle Minigame where both 1st place and 2nd place are awarded coins.
In "Mario Party 3 broke us all...", Sophist mocks Vernias for hosting a gameshow, despite the fact that Sophist himself has done plenty of gameshows in the past as well.^note Vernias calls out Sophist's hypocrisy after the latter leaves Boo.
Vernias: Why are you making fun of me for my gameshow, when you host one in every single game?
In "Mario Party 2 Bowser Land is WAY too toxic...", while Nick contemplates on whether to steal Brent or Sophist's Star upon visiting Boo, he complains about Sophist getting a free Star from a Hidden Block, only to ask for a Hidden Block upon landing on a Blue Space immediately afterward. Brent mocks Nick for his hypocrisy, to which Nick claims that it's okay when it happens to him.
In "Don't get hit in Mario Party 9", Vernias chastises Nick for not knowing how to play Snow Go because they already played that minigame earlier that same day, despite the fact that Vernias himself was rather irritated at Brent for doing the same thing to him earlier after playing Ruins Rumble. The editor calls out Vernias' hypocrisy via flashback.
Vernias: We recorded "All Mario Party 9 Minigames" today, by the way, and he's asking these questions!
(video flashes back to when Vernias lost Ruins Rumble)
Brent: We did this six hours ago!
Vernias: Yeah, why the fuck would I remember that six hours ago?!
In "Wii Party is more toxic than Mario Party", when the group gets Face Flip, Sophist is the first to pick a card. When Brent goes next, he selects the same card Sophist chose in order to not potentionally reveal someone else's card, only to then chastise Nick for following suit. Nick and Vernias quickly call out Brent's hypocrisy.
Brent: (after selecting the same card Sophist chose) Yeah, I don't wanna go yet.
Nick: (selects the same card Sophist and Brent chose)
Brent: You fucking coward!
Vernias: You're the fucking coward!
Nick: Yeah, you started it!
"we can't escape Waluigi's Island":
- When Nick duels Brent for only 1 coin, Sophist grumbles about how no one wants to make the duels fun by betting more coins, only to then duel Brent for only 1 coin the very next turn. The editor calls out Sophist's hypocrisy via flashback.
  Sophist: (initiates a duel upon landing on the same space as Brent) Oh, hey. I'm only dueling for one coin.
  (video flashes back to when Nick duels Brent for 1 coin)
  Sophist: Wow, we never do fun duels in Mario Party anymore.
- Early in the game, Sophist says he would rather Brent get another win than let Nick get two wins in Mario Party 3. However, after Nick uses up Sophist’s Boo Repellent, Sophist berates Nick for letting Brent get another win over letting him get two wins. This causes Nick, who was feeling bad about screwing over Sophist, to immediately decide that his choice was justified, since he remembered Sophist saying the same thing earlier.
  Nick: Bite my ass, [Sophist] said those words exactly before!
In "Mario Party 3 is not good for my health...", when Sophist uses his Boo Bell to steal coins from Vernias and calls him out for stealing his Star via Chance Time^note, Vernias rants about how Sophist hates winning and doesn't think at all, only for Vernias to later try convincing Brent to get a Boo Bell from an Item Minigame so he can steal it with his Barter Box and use it on Sophist, who is in last place. Sophist mocks Vernias for his hypocrisy.
In "Mario Party Jamboree is already TOXIC...", Nick makes fun of Brent for taking so long to make a decision at an intersection, only to then take his sweet time at the Item Shop the very next turn. Brent calls out Nick's hypocrisy in post-editing by playing Nick's words back at him.
Nick: Bro, Brent at an intersection with three items is peak time taking situation.
In "The most TOXIC Mechanic in Mario Party ever", when Nick makes a joke about Impostor Bowser being "sus", Sophist tells him to shut up, claiming that it's only funny when he makes jokes about Among Us.
In "Is Bowser more toxic than my friends?", Nick berates Vernias for purchasing a Chomp Call to potentially deny someone a Star. Vernias quickly retorts that Nick and Sophist bought the Bowser Byway Lever for the same reason.
Nick: You're such a hater.
Vernias: You both got levers! What do you want me to do?!
In "Mario, but a Sniper HUNTS US", Nick makes fun of Sophist for dying early on during Round 18 and not having won a round yet. The editor retorts that Nick hasn't won a round yet either and is currently tied with Sophist at 0 points.
While playing on Pilotwings in "Smash but you can only play 1 color scheme", Nick chastises Sophist for spamming Pyra's Blazing End, only to start camping under the plane while spamming and throwing several of Young Link's bombs upward not too long afterward. Vernias calls out Nick's hypocrisy.
Nick: Why do always somehow make every character extremely annoying?
Sophist: You are literally playing Young Link. Just your existence is annoying.
Nick: Yeah, but I am being one billion times less cringe already.
(Smash Cut to Nick camping under the plane)
Vernias: Guys, I'm sharking under the plane. I'm the cool guy.
Nick: Shut up, Vern! Okay! We're 10 seconds into the video. (giggles) He's so annoying.
In Mario Party Jamboree might ruin our friendship…, Brent makes fun of Sophist for overusing jokes in his videos (Among Us, Squid Game and Green screen car crash), to which Sophist points out that Brent does the exact same thing in his videos (Monkey noises, "WARIO TIME!" and "this is how [person] gets to school in the morning"). Nick cuts in, pointing out how neither one of them should be arguing over this, to which Brent accuses Nick of also overusing jokes (talking about how big his "wiener" is). Nick then says one of Brent’s jokes in response. It is also worth noting that this entire segment at the beginning started with Sophist bringing up the "Hot dog, taco, hamburger." meme, which is to make fun of something repetitive.
Brent: [Sophist] only has three jokes in this video!
Sophist: You only have two!
Nick: No, there is no way you two are making fun of each other for lack of jokes, there's no way.
Brent: I don’t want to hear it from you Nick! Oh hey guys did you know Nick’s wiener is really big by the way?
Nick: (imitating Brent) "Oh look at me, this is Vernias walking to school right now, where’s he going to go, he’s really getting that exercise in".
Brent: But you see that’s actually funny.
Nick: Oh is it now?!
