'''Basic Trope''': Usage of several (and in some cases, ''too many'') [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's Guns]], not all of which are painfully obvious.
* '''Straight''': Alice has a hairpin from her late grandmother. Bob has a set of leather armor crafted by his blacksmith friend Charlie. [[SpoonyBard Dave, being a comedian]], has a book full of obscure jokes, many of which are non-understandable by modern readers. And finally, Felicia loves her [[TrademarkFavoriteFood weird-tasting Troperian Chocolate bars]]. All of those are necessary to defeat [[TheUndead Lich]] [[EvilOverlord Emperor]] [[BigBad Evulz]]. Alice's hairpin opens the pyramid where Evulz bids his time; that pyramid was an elven fortress, and Alice's grandma was an elf. Bob's leather armor nullifies Evulz' world-renowned DeathRay, because [[HoYay Charlie's brotherly love for Bob]] is woven into it. Dave reads his book of obscure jokes, which makes Evulz laughs uncontrollably-- those are the ''best'' jokes from his living days. And while Evulz laugh, Felicia (with great hesitation) throws her Troperian Chocolate into Evulz' open mouth and he actually gulps it down... [[WhatAnIdiot which is his undoing]], [[RefugeInAudacity those chocolates are so weird that they cancel Evulz' undeath]]. The world is saved from Evulz' undead menace!
* '''Exaggerated''': Every single darn thing that Bob and co carry belongs to Chekhov's Armory.
* '''Justified''': [[BigGood Goddess Sophia]] tells Bob and co keep the hairpin, the leather armor, the joke book, and the chocolate, saying that they will be necessary in the FinalBattle. While that didn't make a lick of sense at all, Bob and co did it anyway because Sophia is IncorruptiblePurePureness deified.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': Those items are all mentioned once every a while, leading the viewers to speculate about their importance... but they are not used at all during the final battle versus Evulz.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...because they are meant to be used against Evulz' CosmicHorror boss, [[BiggerBad Progenitor of Dark Ages]]. (Yes, the local equivalent of God of Evil is defeated with mundane items such as ''chocolate''.)
* '''Parodied''': This trope greatly stretches the WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief, it can stand as its own parody.
* '''Deconstructed''': ???
* '''Reconstructed''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Evulz is defeated with things made to defeat him, of which collecting them is the focus of much of the story.
* '''Enforced''': Forcing the audience to buy the [=DVDs=] where those items were first appearing.
** Showing off the writer's skill.
* '''Lampshaded''': "What else we have that we can throw at him?!"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
