Highlights his KnightOfCerebus status about as well as the original.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: This battle features 5 rappers: Donald, Ebeneezer, J.P. Morgan (The Ghost of Rich Dudes Past), Kanye West (The Ghost of What's Right Now), and The Grim Reaper. However, Ebeneezer gets a whole verse in response to each of the other four. The episode was also different in that the rap itself tells a progressing story; even in the Vader vs Hitler trilogy, the story only happened before and after the battles. Also, only Trump gets the standard Boastful Rap, while the others' raps are just to fill their part in the story.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

!!TROPES
* AllLovingHero: At the end, Scrooge vows to be “a friend to all men.”
* AnachronismStew: J.P. Morgan’s the Ghost of "Rich Dudes Past" and he's haunting Ebenezer Scrooge... who aside from being fictional, would have been decades ''older'' then Morgan. Scrooge is more suited to the job than Morgan himself is. Of course, nobody Scrooge fits is contemporary to him anyway so...
* BadassMoustache: Morgan is “properly rocking the Monopoly mustache.”
* BrutalHonesty: Yet to Come doesn't mince words when telling Scrooge about what's to come.
-->'''''"You're gonna die!"'''''
-->'''''"With no one to love you and no one to cry!"'''''
* ButtMonkey: Scrooge first gets startled awake by Trump, then yelled at by three rappers - the last of whom absolutely horrifies him him - until he nearly starts crying before changing his ways, and then he gets InterruptedByTheEnd. This was bound to happen since the battle is an abridged version (with new characters) of ''A Christmas Carol''.
* CatchPhrase: Scrooge gets in his typical “Bah, humbug!”
* CompositeCharacter: Trump’s portrayal in this battle combines elements of his pre-2016 public image and Jacob Marley from the Dickens novel.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He has his name on the side of a building, man! (Trump Tower) and he isn't known for his heart.
* DeadAllAlong: It’s not until the end of Trump’s verse that we find out he was a ghost this entire time.
* DemBones: Yet to Come looks like a living skeleton.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Scrooge starts out being negative to the ghosts appearing to him and dismissing them with insults. After Kanye West, he begins to listen to their advice more.
--> "I do not believe in ghosts ''and I don't believe that hair!''"
--> "The only thing that scares me is your gross ghost proboscis!"
* DodgyToupee: Scrooge doesn't believe in ghosts or Trump’s hair.
* DontFearTheReaper: Downplayed. While Yet to Come looks scary and talks about Scrooge's imminent death, he comes across as more 'punisher of the wicked' than 'evil spirit'. If Scrooge weren't a selfish man, they wouldn't be having this conversation.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Trump dismisses Scrooge as heartless, despite his own professed reputation for being less than upstanding.
--> "I'm not known for my heart but you're ''still'' getting trumped!"
* FateWorseThanDeath: Implied when Trump walks off chained to a briefcase, which becomes much clearer when you realize he fills the role originally played by Jacob Marley, who was also subjected to such a thing and tried to warn Scrooge to keep him from enduring the same fate.
* GagNose: The only thing Scrooge is frightened of is Morgan's "gross ghost proboscis."
* GangUpOnTheHuman: A musical variation happens when Ebenezer Scrooge (Human) fights against Donald Trump, JP Morgan, Kanye West, and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (Ghosts).
* GoodIsNotNice: Yet to Come’s on the same mission as the other ghosts, to redeem Ebeneezer's soul, but is the least pleasant among them. Considering his allies include Donald Trump and Kanye West, that's saying something.
* GoodMorningCrono: Trump wakes up Scrooge to begin the rap battle.
* TheGrimReaper: The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is a BlackCloak-wearing ghoul that tells Scrooge of his impending death.
* GrumpyOldMan: Scrooge’s first words are how upset he is that his nap was disturbed.
* GutturalGrowler: The Ghost of Christmas Future actually speaks this time, and he does so with a booming, gravelly VoiceOfTheLegion.
* HeelFaceTurn: At the end of the battle, Scrooge gives up his greedy ways.
* HellBentForLeather: Kanye’s shown wearing the leather jacket [[ManInAKilt and matching leather kilt]] from his "Black Skinhead" video.
* HonestCorporateExecutive: In contrast to Trump, Morgan "owns the railroads" but he says that wealth in the heart is more important than wealth in the wallet.
* IncomingHam: Trump’s first line is belted out at the top of his lungs: '''[[LargeHam "WAKE UP, SCROOGE!"]]'''
* InterruptedByTheEnd: Scrooge's last verse gets cut off by the announcer.
-->'''Scrooge:''' It's Christmas! I haven't missed my chance to be different! God bless us, every-\\
'''Announcer:''' WHO WON? WHO'S NEXT? YOU DECIDE!
* JacobMarleyApparel: When Trump exits the battle, he wanders off bound in chains to a heavy briefcase.
* JacobMarleyWarning: Trump stands in for the trope namer; "you're gonna be rocked by three [=MCs=] from the ethereal plane!"
* {{Jerkass}}: Trump’s the only one who disses Scrooge rather than telling him to change his ways.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: If you are in the crowd who sees the ''real'' Kanye West as an InsufferableGenius, then he falls into this category in this battle, due to calling Scrooge out on his selfishness and suggesting he share his money with the homeless.
* JumpScare: Yet to Come gives one to Scrooge with a "boo!" from behind him.
* KnightOfCerebus: The final ghost has no humourous quirks and serves as the figure that ultimately puts Scrooge on the right path. He introduces himself by appearing behind Scrooge and saying "boo" but that's as funny as he got.
* LargeHam: Trump, Kanye, and Death/Yet to Come are all loud and dramatic.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Yet to Come is the only character in the battle besides Scrooge ''not'' to be a CompositeCharacter between a ghost from ''A Christmas Carol'' and real-life famous rich person, pretty much just a straight adaptation of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Highlights his KnightOfCerebus status about as well as the original.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: The clock in Scrooge's background sounds off the hour whenever a new ghost shows up.
* MoodWhiplash: Yet to Come immediately follows Kanye, even piggybacking off of his beat, but his rhymes couldn't be farther apart in tone.
* NiceGuy: Morgan talks about the importance of having a rich heart.
* NiceHat: Morgan sports a ''huge'' top hat that works.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is a robe-wearing wraith who appears shrouded in a sickly green fog and speaks in a rasping, guttural baritone. In particular, his threat that Scrooge will die alone and unmourned, regretting the miserable life he led, and responsible for Tiny Tim's death, is a terrifying enough prospect to cement Scrooge's HeelFaceTurn.
* NotUsingTheZWord: Claims he doesn't believe in ghosts, but refers to Trump as both a "phantom" and an "apparition".
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The ghosts of Trump, Morgan, and Kanye are indistinguishable from their human selves, while the Ghost of Christmas Future is a wraith that resembles TheGrimReaper.
* PerpetualFrowner: Peter's attempt at getting the Donald look down has not gone unnoticed.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Kanye states that there is more to life than money and that Scrooge should have asked for friends.
* PrecisionFStrike: The only use of profanity in the battle is both audibly muted and censored via SymbolSwearing in the subtitles.
* RedBaron: J.P. Morgan and Kanye West introduce themselves as “The Ghost of Rich Dudes Past” and “The Ghost of What’s Right Now.”
* RightOnTheTick: Trump tells Scrooge to expect the other ghosts “when the clock strikes.” Sure enough, Morgan and Yet to Come appear right when the clock in the background strikes One and Three, respectively, but Kanye (much like the Ghost of Christmas Present) takes his sweet time to make an entrance after the clock strikes Two.
* ScareEmStraight: The ultimate goal of the four ghosts is to scare some decency into Scrooge.
* ScaryBlackMan: Kanye is loud, forceful, and scary enough to finally make Scrooge take his hauntings seriously.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Trump and Scrooge are both quite old and quite rude.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After delivering his JacobMarleyWarning, Trump announces his departure from the battle because he has his own problems (read: eternal damnation) to deal with.
* TheScrooge: The man himself appears and goes through the usual schtick.
* ShoutOut: Trump warns Scrooge to prepare to "[[Film/TheBigLebowski enter a world of Christmas pain.]]"
* SicklyGreenGlow: Yet to Come’s background is a swirling green miasma.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: This battle features 5 rappers: Donald, Ebeneezer, J.P. Morgan (The Ghost of Rich Dudes Past), Kanye West (The Ghost of What's Right Now), and The Grim Reaper. However, Ebeneezer gets a whole verse in response to each of the other four. The episode was also different in that the rap itself tells a progressing story; even in the Vader vs Hitler trilogy, the story only happened before and after the battles. Also, only Trump gets the standard Boastful Rap, while the others' raps are just to fill their part in the story.
* SoundEffectBleep: Trump's F-bomb at the end of the verse is muted.
* SuddenlyVoiced: In contrast to his usual portrayal as TheVoiceless, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come’s a GutturalGrowler, which only makes him more horrifying.
* TerrifiedOfGerms: Trump’s mysophobia is brought up in his verse.
-->'''Donald Trump:''' Keep your TB from Tiny Timmy away from me! Don’t even touch me!
* TokenGoodTeammate: Morgan is the only ghost who doesn't insult Scrooge, and overall seems to be the most genial and cordial.
* UnclePennybags: Morgan, who was the basis for the TropeNamer as he points out, is considerably more friendly and cheery than Trump or Scrooge.
* WaxingLyrical: Trump ends his verse quoting "Fucking Problems" by Music/AsapRocky and Music/TwoChainz, even name-dropping the latter.
-->'''Donald Trump:''' I'm out! I got my own [[SymbolSwearing f**king]] problems; call me 2 Chainz!
* WhamLine: Trump’s verse has one line towards the end that reveals what seemed at first to be a typical rap battle is actually YetAnotherChristmasCarol.
-->'''Donald Trump:''' You’re about to get whooped by three emcees from the ethereal plane!
* WhamShot: Trump ends his verse by revealing that he’s bound in chains to a heavy briefcase, revealing that he was a ghost all along.
* AWildRapperAppears: A unique example to this series in that Kanye is the first ''character'' who is known for rapping to appear in the series.
* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: It’s a retelling of the classic Dickens tale in rap battle form.
