History Film / Sockbaby

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Lord Opticord is the toughest opponent.

* ScreamingWarrior: Davis, for a very, ''very'' undignified definition of screaming.

* BrickJoke: Burger tells a man who claims to be Ronnie's father that he's lying, "Because Ronnie's father is ''black!"'' Sure enough, we see at the end that Ronnie's real father ''was'' black.
** The grey Ronnie launches into the sky in Sockbaby 2 finally plummets back down to rejoin Davis in Sockbaby 3.

* [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Dog Dookie]]

* CatchPhrase: Davis: "Sham Bam Bamina!"
** Ronnie [[InterruptedCatchphrase interrupts]] him the second time, to Davis' considerable rage.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When Ronnie takes the plasma pill.
** Also signals Burger summoning the demon wolf thing to kill the Two-Ton Chum Chum.

* JiveTurkey: Davis mocks Ronnie and Burger by calling them "Foolish honkeys!"
** Seems to be a thing among the Greys, since Optichord also gets in on the fun.

* MegatonPunch: Burger's main fighting technique with his robot arm, as one grey learns the [[BloodFromTheMouth very, very hard way.]]

* [[SharpDressedMan Sharp Dressed Mooks]]: The Greys wear matching black and white suits, complete with fedoras.

* [[SillyWalk Silly Run]]: Every time Davis [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere retreats]], he does so with an astoundingly silly run. He's a bit more composed the first time.

* TrashTalk: "Go tell your alien brothers... THAT RONNIE CORDOVA SAYS THEY'RE GAY!"

* AlienBlood - In ''Sockb4by'', one of the Man-I-Two twins (the Heder brothers) blood is orange, the other's is yellow.

* AllThereInTheManual - Subverted. While clarification about the Sockbaby universe has been done on Doug [=TenNapel=]'s forums, [[WordOfGod he has stated]] that everything you need to know about the films is right there in the movies. There's still no explaining that first scene, though...
* AppliedPhlebotinum - [[spoiler:Sockbaby brings Ronnie back to life with some sort of pixie dust after his fight with Lord Opticord.]]

* ArtifactTitle - Sockbaby is nowhere to be seen in ''Sockb4by''.
* ArtShift - Ronnie's [[SuperSerum plasma pill]]-enduced [[KamehameHadoken energy blast]] that explodes one of the greys is shown in an animated sequence. Things switch back to normal to show us his [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe disembodied legs]] stumble about and collapse.

* AsHimself - Doug Jones.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking - Lord Opticord is the toughest opponent.

* BloodFromTheMouth - Done [[SpecialEffectsFailure hilariously badly]]. (Of course, that was [[{{Camp}} the whole point]].)

* BringIt - Ronnie Cordova makes a few of these moves.
* TheBrute - A Two-Ton Chum-Chum.

* CarryABigStick - The Chum-Chum again.
* CatchPhrase - Davis: "Sham Bam Bamina!"

* CloudCuckoolander - Doug [=TenNapel=], who wrote the thing.

* CoolShades - Ronnie's mirrored aviators.

* EmbarrassingFirstName. "My name is Davis." (*snicker*)
* EnemyMime - The greys wear black and white facepaint.
* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting - In ''Sockb4by'', even Ronnie's next door neighbor is one of the mook squad that attacks him.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom - When Ronnie takes the plasma pill.

* GogglesDoNothing - Burger wears a pair of swimming goggles - for no apparent reason.
* HeterosexualLifePartners - Ronnie and Burger

* KungFoley - In universe, no less! Ronnie's ''posing'' causes random snaps and musical stings to occur. In Sockbaby 2, when one pose results in a [[BuffySpeak hoedownariffic]] musical sting, Burger [[LampshadeHanging tells him to cut it out]].
* LukeIAmYourFather - Doug Jones, to Ronnie.

* PostMortemOneLiner: "Stupid foe... now you ain't ''no mo'!''

* {{Shoutout}}: [[Anime/{{Voltron}} "And I'll form the head."]]

* TrashTalk - "Go tell your alien brothers... THAT RONNIE CORDOVA SAYS THEY'RE GAY!"

* UnderwearOfPower - in ''Sockb4by'', the mooks all wear black wetsuits with white briefs on the outside.
* {{Uncancelled}}: The Website/{{Channel101}} audience didn't vote it back, but Tennapel was encouraged to continue.
* VariableLengthChain - Ronnie can use his leisure suit neck chain as a(n apparently electrified) weapon. Lord Opticord turns it against him [[spoiler:after it's used on him - and they both apparently die...]]
* WilhelmScream

* ArtMajorBiology - Ronnie's mom was white and his dad was black; this, according to Doug [=TenNapel=], is why Ronnie was born a black child but grew up to be a white man.

** The grey Ronnie launches into the sky in Sockbaby 2 finally plummets back down to rejoin his comrades in Sockbaby 3.

* ArtShift - Ronnie's [[SuperSerum plasma pill]]-enduced [[KamehameHadoken energy blast]] that explodes one of the greys is shown in an animated sequence.

* CatchPhrase - The head Grey: "Sham Bam Bamina!"

* EvilSorceror: Lord Optichord apparently uses dark magic to warp reality and summon adversaries for Ronny to battle from the dark place he resides. He also has an arsenal of magical artifacts at his disposal, including a "magic doorknob" that he uses to travel to earth.

* HeyItsThatGuy - The ComicBook/SilverSurfer and Film/NapoleonDynamite take on AgamemnonTiberiusVacuum!
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]]. "But you're Doug Jones! How would an A-lister like you know little old me?"

The fourth film in the series (''Sockb4by'') [[HeyItsThatGuy guest stars]] [[PansLabyrinth Doug Jones]] (with a [[HeyItsThatGuy cameo]] by Film/NapoleonDynamite in a wetsuit), gives us some more details of Ronnie's origin, and shatters the law that the fourth movie in a series is always horrible.

* TrashTalk - "Go forth and tell your alien brothers... THAT RONNIE CORDOVA SAYS THEY'RE GAY!"
