History Podcast / TheFPlus

''The F Plus'' is an {{MST}} [[http://www.thefpl.us podcast]] that focuses on the more horrible aspects of internet culture. Every week, hosts [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Lemon]] and [[PungeonMaster John]], accompanied by a rotating crew of Ridiculists and guest readers, read the weirdest or dumbest posts from a different website, forum, or blog, and make (mostly) good-natured jokes.

* TheAlcoholic: STOG.

* BreakTheCutie: The entire Pokegirls episode was designed to break Portaxx.

* CallBack: With over a hundred episodes, readers will regularly refer to older podcast subjects when making jokes.

** "Readers Assemble!"

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: STOG

* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Exhibited in a handful of episodes and joked about in a lot more.

* JerkJock: Bunnybread

* LargeHam: STOG and Bunnybread especially

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "I've certainly never pissed in a jar." "Nope. And I have never peed in a Splurpee cup from 7-11." "I've never pissed in a Mountain Dew bottle-- I don't even think it's possible."

* YouAreFat: Fat jokes are fairly stock ammunition in the Ridiculists' arsenal of snark.

* {{Adorkable}}: Portaxx.

* SadisticChoice: At east once an episode, Lemon offers the readers a choice between two readings. Sometimes this leads to a ButThouMust situation, where the reading selection is already decided before the offer is made.
--> '''Lemon:''' "First choice: Don't pick this Jimmy Franks. Second: The onomatopoeia for fart."

* ButThouMust: Lemon will sometimes give choices with only one correct answer, or a choice of A or A.

* {{Crossover}}: The HansVonHozel fanfic ''Internet Computer'', which received a dramatic reading on the show, featured Music/TheBeatles facing off against the antagonistic {{Music/ABBA}}.

* {{DeadPan Snarker}}: Pretty much all of the Ridiculists.
* EnsembleCast

** "My waifu is Tim Tebow because I don't have a reference point for this shit."

* SadisticChoice: At east once an episode, Lemon offers the readers a choice between two readings. Sometimes this leads to a ButThouMust situation, where the reading selection is already decided before the offer is made. Example: '''Lemon:''' "First choice: Don't pick this Jimmy Franks. Second: The onomatopoeia for fart."

* OneOfUs: Pop culture references abound in nearly every episode, and at least a few, if not all of the hosts have been gamers.

* FetishFuel: Fetish forums make up a significant amount of F Plus episodes.
* FetishRetardant: For many of the Ridiculists, the same episodes that make up FetishFuel.

* {{Crowning Moment of Funny}}: The fact that this podcast made fun of TV Tropes for having dumb nonsensical tropes such as "crowning moment of funny" and yet some tropers still decided to add it to the podcast's TV Tropes page.

* BileFascination: This is basically the entire premise of the show. Terrible things read with enthusiasm.

* SadisticChoice: At east once an episode, Lemon offers the readers a choice between two readings. Sometimes this leads to a ButThouMust situation, where the reading selection is already decided before the offer is made.

* FoodPorn: Subverted in the All Recipes and raw food episodes.
