History PlayingWith / DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment

** The reason [[TheGadfly Ross]] torments Bob like this all the time is so that [[BatmanGambit he can hear him make an ass out of himself with weird elaboration in the same way every time, so that others will be prompted to turn their heads, and Bob will get a headstart]] by being able whisper to one of them that it's another "[[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Code]] [[StealthPun White]]."

** "[[LipLock ThisMotorMouthDubHasTheCharactersConstantlyRepeatWhatTheyAreSayingInOrderToFillAllTheMouthFlaps]]".

** Ross taunts Bob for the silliness of the phrase "A ticking time bomb that smells funny" and cites it as being some stupid MadnessMantra, before Ross says "[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne I'll have you know]] my MadnessMantra is actually 'I'm going to do fine, fly high in life, and use my flying high in life to inspire me to fly to find someone who can be the wind beneath my wings beneath me doing fine!'"

** Bob is just repeating what [[TalkativeLoon Ross]] told him.

** Ross [[EveryoneHasStandards is against picking on people with stutters or a tendency to be as imprecise as possible while still giving away tons of info]] since he feels that he's just exacerbating their problems and the stereotypical tendency that those traits lead to harrasment from their peers throughout their youths. Thus, said people grow enough confidence without Ross constantly being an interference that they overcome any and all redundancy.

** Bob avoids prepositions in his speech like the plague, to the point that when he says "I'm getting a wedgie for the billionth time today, which I don't know how I couldn't see coming again" instead of "I'm getting wedgies involving the unbearable stretching [[HypocriticalHumor in]] a new occurrence, one occurrence away [[TheDitz before being an occurrence I actually saw coming]]", he [[LethallyStupid jumps into Ross' mouth, suffocating him in the process, in order to be able to hide from the latter coming near him]] without risking him hearing something "normal" coming from him since he's convinced [[InsaneTrollLogic that'll just make him appear out of thin air]], Immediately after this exposition, [[KarmicOverkill Ross drops dead from the blockage to his throat]]. After confirming that Ross is truly dead, Bob goes back to using redundancy like nothing happened.

** [[SophisticatedAsHell Ross]] [[KickTheDog taunts Bob over the doctor that examined his]] [[DistinguishingMark visible intoeing]] as "the real crackpot whose reigning champ sons need museography as the fourth-emergency service, so it will be given to them by you, right when your myoclonus reaches an apex because of my fist raising your ''tighty-whities'' over your head, or, more ideally, on the Balm of Gilead that many a flagpole has tampered with in order to satisfy the most [[BlackComedyRape depraved]] motherfuckers out there."

** Bob is being endlessly pursued by Ross, who taunts him over the fact that he's going to give him "the mother of all pants-pulling, with a side order of underwear, [[DontExplainTheJoke not including the actual 'mother' since she doesn't exist but is just a figure of speech meant for dramatic effect]], stretched all the way from his butt to my hands, with heavy, heavy, heavy, very heavy clinging."

After confirming that Ross is truly dead, Bob goes back to using redundancy like nothing happened.

** The one place Bob won't engage in verbal redundancy is laser tag, which he feels too old to get back into, but he remembers that the reason for that was because of the inherent simplicity of the game and the need to hide from other opponents, leading to him hiding from Bob out of pragmatism, then approaching his friends when he feels ready, regardless of whether or not he stands up to Bob in the end.

** Bob avoids prepositions in his speech like the plague, to the point that when he says "I'm getting a wedgie for the billionth time today, which I don't know how I couldn't see coming again" instead of "I'm getting wedgies involving the unbearable stretching [[HypocriticalHumor in]] a new occurrence, one occurrence away [[TheDitz before being an occurrence I actually saw coming]]", he [[LethallyStupid jumps into Ross' mouth, suffocating him in the process, in order to be able to hide from the latter coming near him]] without risking him hearing something "normal" coming from him since he's convinced [[InsaneTrollLogic that'll just make him appear out of thin air]], [[KarmicOverkill ending in Ross dying]]. Once he ''does'' die for obvious reasons, Bob goes back to using redundancy like nothing happened.

Once he ''does'' die, he goes back to using redundancy like nothing happened.

** Bob hesitates like he's about to repeat himself, but he was just calling Ross "[[BigStupidDoodooHead A ticking time bob that smells funny.]]"

** Ross taunts Bob for the silliness of the phrase "A ticking time bob that smells funny" and cites it as being some stupid MadnessMantra, before Ross says "[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne I'll have you know]] my MadnessMantra is actually 'I'm going to do fine, fly high in life, and use my flying high in life to inspire me to fly to find someone who can be the wind beneath my wings beneath me doing fine!'"

** Ross remarks that "this particular wedgie is not like many wedgies, in that it's stretching, or 'pulling', if you will, is..." before pulling a [[NotHyperbole Kegel exerciser]] [[VisualPun that he stole from the Young Women's Christian Association]].

** Bob is being endlessly pursued by Ross, who taunts him over the fact that he's going to give him "the mother of all pants-pulling, with a side order of underwear, [[DontExplainTheJoke not including the actual 'mother' since she doesn't exist but is just a figure of speech meant for dramatic effect]], stretched all the way from his butt to Ross' hands, with heavy, heavy, heavy, very heavy clinging.

** Ross ''was'' playing a genuine trick on his parents, and the stuff about the kerosene-dunked clothes and being locked outside was something [[GuileHero Bob]] had taunted him about in the past by stating that it would, case in point, "[[MindScrew be a surefire way and a new method to lock you bullies into place and drench all of your remaining clothes in kerosene that they actually already put into the washing machine, so that they're actually locked into place under the threat, and can never escape unless the kerosene completely submerged the washing machine that submerged the clothes that submerges your dignity,]]" Genuinely scared by this, Ross never really let it go, but it didn't throw him off the pattern of being indiscriminately redundant, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs especially since he didn't pick up on the fact that Bob was playing a trick on him by making fun of said redundancy]].

** Ross [[EveryoneHasStandards is against picking on people with stutters or a tendency to be as imprecise as possible while still giving away tons of info]] since he feels that he's just exacerbating their problems and the stereotypical tendency that those traits lead to harrasment from their peers throughout their use. Thus, said people grow enough confidence without Ross constantly being an interference that they overcome any and all redundancy.

* '''Invoked''': "I'm going to make this as clear as I possibly can, to you guys, the ones who'll come to my aid, while I need the aid involving whatever is needed for aid-provisions: [[MotorMouth Ross-plans-to-give-me-a-pants-shadow-over-my-head-and-I-will-be-hung-with-my-head-partially-inside-the-shadow-hence-the-name-because-my-pants-are-overshadowing-me]]...[[DeadpanSnarker Raymond]] stop thinking about whatever's going to come out of your mouth next; wait your turn, and also stop walking away or else I'm going to devolve into {{Engrish}}...and [[SelfFulfillingProphecy itsastuffingforplumpfaceswhichIdon'thaveandawonhawisayiyorehafrussudondisssd'moi.]]"

** "Don't a lot of board games like {{TabletopGame}}/Monopoly involve some redundancy? If we can't use the game itself due to [[UsefulNotes/DigitalRightsManagement IP laws]], we might as well parody it."

** While unintentional redundancy slips by on occasion due to the overall show being NarmCharm and ThrowItIn based, especially for Bob and Ross, the two premier comic relief characters, certain word {{Hurricane|ofEuphemisms}}s are in the [[AllThereInTheManual script]], but never in the work itself, as it comes to close to being annoying repitition even if it doesn't entirely fit the bill.

* None of the titles for the work or any characters in-universe are repetitive.

** Bob has his own theme music, which functions as an IAmSong, which evolves into a ThemeMusicPowerUp every time he tries to outfight or outwit Ross that states "[[IAmTheNoun I am the Moon, hard as rock...]] [[MediumAwareness come on, guys, you're background singers]], you're supposed to make this an ExpositoryThemeTune [[GenreSavvy by singing in the background a la those Spaghetti-Western]] {{Pastiche}}s!" before they say "Oh yeah" and start "singing" "''He is the moon, ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis hard. as.]]'' '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis ROCK.]]'''''"

** [[SophisticatedAsHell Ross]] [[KickTheDog taunts Bob over thr doctor that examined his]] [[DistinguishingMark visible intoeing]] as "the real crackpot whose reigning champ sons need museography as the fourth-emergency service, so it will be given to them by you, right when your myoclonus reaches an apex because of my fist raising your ''tighty-whities'' over your head, or, more ideally, on the Balm of Gilead that many a flagpole has tampered with in order to satisfy the most [[BlackComedyRape depraved]] motherfuckers out there."

* '''[=PlayedForLaughs=]''': Bob goes to a grocery store telling people working there that he's looking specifically for "One tomato next to over a hundred other tomatoes in a large bin that looks like an empty bin except with tomatoes in it". Predictably, they look at him like he's nuts, but he eventually does [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike find a bin marked with that exact phrase by a fellow store patron]], who may or may not have written it with actual permission.

* '''Straight''': [[TheChewToy Bob]] is being endlessly pursued by [[TheBully Ross]], and describes to his TokenGoodTeammate friends, the only people who treat him well and are willing to listen, about how Bob [[{{Wedgie]] plans to "pull up his pants over his head, stuff his underwear with his ears, face, nose and hair, and [[TooMuchInformation wrap him up in a large piece of cloth that's meant for his shriveled, undersized nerd-butt]].

** [[VitriolicBestBuds Bob and Ross]] enjoy [[FinishingEachOthersSentences]].

** Bob says "[[OhWait Wait!]] [[HeyWait]]?", but [[SuspiciouslySpecificTense refuses to elaborate]].

** Ross accidentally calls Bob a "[[YouFightLikeACow]] girly manskirt-enthusiast", before just calling him a "girly...''[[PantsPullingPrank pantser]]'' [[LesserOfTwoEvils enthusiast]], that is. Sorry, I always mix the two up."

** Bob was saying "[[OhWait Wait!]] [[HeyWait]]?" over a walkie-talkie [[ComicallyMissingThePoint to check]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} if there were any batteries left]], and keeps doing that in reverse-order every other time he says it.

** Bob has his own theme music, which functions as an IAmSong, which evolves into a ThemeMusicPowerUp every time he tries to outfight or outwit Ross that states "[[IAmTheNoun I am the Moon, hard as rock...[[MediumAwareness come on, guys, you're background singers]], you're supposed to make this an ExpositoryThemeTune [[GenreSavvy by singing in the background a la those Spaghetti-Western {{Pastiche}}s!]]" before they say "Oh yeah" and start "singing" "''He is the moon, ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis hard. as.]]'' '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis ROCK."]]'''''

** '''Averted''':

** "We need something super offensive that can still [[RefugeInAudacity]] fly over the censor's heads."
** "Don't a lot of board games like TabletopGame/Monopoly involve some redundancy? If we can't use the game itself due to [[UsefulNotes/DigitalRightsManagement IP laws]], we might as well parody it."

** The reason [[TheGadfly Ross]] torments Bob like this all the time is so that [[BatmanGambit he can hear him make an ass out of himself with weird elaboration in the same way every time, so that others will be prompted to turn their heads, and Bob will get a headstart by being able whisper to one of them that it's another "[[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Code]] [[StealthPun White]]."
** Bob is the ClassClown, but also secretly [[HiddenDepths wants to be a journalist]], and is experimenting with ways to combine the two...but he hasn't found a way to stop Ross from his usual bullying shenanigans, leading him to avert [[HowWeGotHere]] in favor of using his charisma instead and hoping it pairs well with his rambling. Since he has enough skills to be a journalist anyway, he'll sometimes put newspaper articles that he had cut out in his free time in his undies to thwart Ross, but he isn't creative enough to find ways to keep implementing it enough to be ''all'' charisma and zero "ramble on."

** Bob, who has met many a DrillSergeantNasty that spent 99% of their time yelling and repeating different variations of derogatory nicknames and dressing downs, ends up adopting the same nasty traits, leading him getting treated like a leper and eventually getting sent [[{Irony} to a military school]], which is actually the only place he feels like he fits in ''at all''.

** Bob still encounters {{DrillSergeantNast|y}}ies in military school, but they don't use DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment unless they're giving one of their students a SecretTestOfCharacter, something that Bob is actually looking forward to as it'll help him find a relatable ground of sorts in regards to his manner of speech.
