->''[[TitleDrop Dinosaur Office!]] Rawr!''

''Dinosaur Office'' is a series of stop-motion cartoons on Website/CollegeHumor that focuses on the daily lives of the dinosaur office workers. The series is notable for being a common fixture on Nintendo Video for the Nintendo3DS.

----
!! This web original provides examples of:
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Terry is prone to eating his employees and becoming incredibly destructive and violent when upset, but he is regarded as a genuinely competent boss, and he will take responsibility if anything bad happens to the company (such as a volcanic eruption).
-->'''Craig''': Terry! You are an asset to our company!
* ButtMonkey: The other workers constantly make fun of Craig or laugh at him stumble, though not maliciously. Craig feels hurt [[{{Determinator}} but bounces right back the next day]].
** Todd has his moments, such as when he is eaten by Terry in the first episode, and later doesn't get to the car in time when they're running away from the angry carnivorous waiter when they visit a restaurant. 
** In every episode the Intern appears in, he gets killed.
* CarnivoreConfusion: Although generally a BenevolentBoss, Terry is still a TyrannosaurusRex and shows it. Also, the Spinosaurus frequently tries to eat the herbivores, but only when he's angry at them.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Craig finds various female coworkers to try to date but gets turned down, each time resulting in violence somehow. In a gender-flipped example, Sheila is never able to get Craig's attention with her advances.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: Averted. "Just like that volcano last week. It was supposed to scorch the earth! ({{Beat}}) It only scorched ''half'' of the earth!"
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's dinosaurs in an office.
* ImAHumanitarian: Terry. Then again he is a T. Rex.
* NoIndoorVoice: A number of the office workers, mostly the male ones (though a female stegosaurus speaks in a similar tone). 
* RocksFallEveryoneDies: In "Asteroid", the weather forecast predicts that an asteroid heading for Earth will destroy everything. [[spoiler: Subverted when it turns out to be smaller than expected. Then double subverted when it heads straight for the offices of Dino Corp Incorporated...but triple subverted, because that's not actually the office where the main cast works.]]
--> '''Todd''': [[BigNo Oh nooooooooooo!]]...[[spoiler: I had stock in that company!]]
* SanitySlippage: Craig suffers this in "Halloween Spooktacurawr".
* SkewedPriorities: In "Volcano Drill," Craig and Todd are determined to have their conversation in the midst of an erupting volcano.
* SnapBack: Nearly every episode has either the office building gravely damaged or someone killed off, but by the next episode, everything is back to normal.
* StockDinosaurs
* ThereWasADoor: At the end of "Coffee Run".
** Terry does this a lot.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Terry eats the Intern, a young parasaurolophus, in each episode the Intern appears in.
** Todd got eaten by Terry in the first episode, scorched in lava in "Volcano Drill", and mauled by the spinosaurus waiter in "Guy's Night Out".
* TyrannosaurusRex: Terry
* WouldHurtAChild: Played for laughs. Terry hosts Bring Your Child To Work day to [[AdultFear eat them]], apparently.
