This puzzle references the Dresden Codak comic Harvet Ismuth’s 42 Essential 3rd Act Twists Each video references, in left-to-right order, some of the twists on the row indicated by the title of the video, changed by one letter.

Tragedy:
The Double Crows -> The Double CroSs
Devil Teal Backfires -> Devil Deal Backfires

Thriller:
Government is Actually Artistic Boy -> Government is Actually AUtistic Boy

There are images in the corners of each clip and these correspond to panels from the first 12 comics in the Dresden Codak Hob series. Order the original letters from the twists by the Hob comic numbers to get the phrase SEND US A TWIST. Sending us a twist of some form (a video like in the puzzle, a comic panel, a particularly good pretzel, etc.) is rewarded with the answer NONARY GAME.
