History Series / FlandersCompany

* CaffeineBulletTime: Caleb's powers -- [[spoiler:short-range time and space warping]] -- awakened as a side effect of coffee abuse.

* BalefulPolymorph: In "PWNED!", Hippolyte gets turned into a potted plant by one of Caleb's experiments. Mr. Trueman is not amused.

* HighPressureEmotion: In "PWNED!", Hippolyte has steam shooting from his ears just before suffering a BalefulPolymorph.

* NuclearNasty: The Murlok in the Japan Expo episode -- at least, that is Hippolyte's theory. [[spoiler:It doesn't stop Cindy from turning it into sushi, however.]]

* {{Fainting}}:
** Hippolyte, in the [[spoiler:alternate universe, after being overwhelmed by all the differences]].
** Kevin at the sight of [[spoiler:Gladys' severed arm]].

** Caleb is often seen using a tool looking suspiciously like a [[Series/DoctorWho sonic screwdriver]], and his Nuclear Rifle looks very much like [[VideoGame/JakIIRenegade Jak's Morphgun's Blaster Mod]] (later modified a bit to look less similar). Possibly justified since Caleb (played by the writer/director) is also a huge nerd and may very well have built many of his gadgets as real, functioning Movie Shout-Outs.

* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Carla in the series finale. Armand doesn't seem to take it well...]]

** Carla vs. Alternate Hippolyte in the series finale.

** Armand Trueman makes one in the series finale [[spoiler:a ''second'' before the SuperSerum stops acting]].

* FunnyBruceLeeNoises: [[spoiler:Superpowered Armand]] in the series finale, undoubtedly a ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' parody.

* AGlassInTheHand: Parodied with Caleb crushing his coffee cup in the series finale. Though considering how much Caleb loves coffee, it shows well how upset he his.

* SeriesContinuityError: In the series finale, there's view of [[spoiler:the energy blast that destroyed Damien rising above the atmosphere. Cool shot, except the stream is clearly coming from France, while the last battle is supposed to happen in Pennsylvania, at Reed Richards' manor, as with the beginning of season 4]].

* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:Damien-in-Gladys'-body in the series finale, about to be obliterated by Über-Caleb]].

* TraumaticHaircut: Hippolyte inflicts this on [[spoiler:his half-sister Hitomi]] in season 2 episode "German Ubber Fantasy".

* ATwinkleInTheSky: [[spoiler:Done to Damien-in-Gladys'-Body by Superpowered Armand]] in the series finale.

* MistakenForJunkie: In season 3 episode 3, "Tongs Rapsody", when Hippolyte and Armand goes full LargeHam before the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' parodies, Caleb wonders out loud if they're both on LSD.

* PinballProjectile: Used by Hippolyte with [[spoiler:his HandBlast to take Alternate Cindy by surprise and disarm her]].

* DeflectorShield: There's one around the machine perturbing superpowers in "Unlimited", to Hippolyte's frustration.

** In Season 5, Henri Potier and Caleb cannot help themselves giving repeated dope slaps to [[spoiler:Jean Kevin Solo, a.k.a. Kylo Ren]], because he looks so much like Snape (Henri even ponders if he isn't Severus Snape's hidden son).

* TheEponymousShow: Season 5's intro episode is presented as a part of ''The Fataloose Show'', presented by none other than Dr. Fataloose.

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Nadège]], at the end of season 3, where she is caught by a [[spoiler:black hole created by Mello]]. WordOfGod mentions that she's on a trip to Japan, hence her nonavailability as an actress for the next season, scheduled in late 2010. [[spoiler:TheBusCameBack in season 4.]]

* FacepalmOfDoom: Carla to Gladys, on her return to Flander's in season 4.

** In Season 5, Henri Potier and Caleb cannot help themselves giving repeated dope slaps to [[spoiler:Kylo Ren]], because he looks so much like Snape (Henri even ponders if he isn't Severus Snape's hidden son).

** In Season 5, [[spoiler:Kylo Ren]], unsurprisingly.

* DopeSlap: Cindy gives one to Caleb in season 3 for being one-upped by Nadège.

* {{Emo}}: Emo-Man, duh.

[[caption-width-right:300:[-[[RagtagBunchOfMisfits Let's see:]] a [[CrazyAwesome psychopath]], a MadScientist, a DarkActionGirl... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a therapist]].-] ]]

* FunnyAfro:
** Déborah during Hitomi's clip in season 2.
** Gladys, after Carla shocks her point-blank in season 4.

* FacePalm: A few...

* FacePalmOfDoom: Carla to Gladys, on her return to Flander's in season 4.

* VillainEpisode: Well, technically the protagonists ''are'' villains already, but their EvilVsEvil rivals of the C.C Corporation have 3 episodes focused on them in Season 3. Those even have their own SpecialEditionTitle, with "C.C Corporation" instead of "Flander's Company" as title, and its cast replacing the latter's in the opening credits.

->''Nous servons le mal, et nous le servons bien.''

** Carla's speech [[spoiler:when taken over by Damien's mind]] is straight out of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' movies, when Galadriel is tempted by the power of the One Ring.

** Alternate Armand, while moving a fishbowl by magic, sings the same song as Merlin in ''Disney/TheSwordInTheStone''.

* DeadGuyPuppet: Okay, Hippolyte wasn't dead, but he was suffering from a serious breakdown in episode "Cas de conscience". So, what do Caleb and Cindy do? Use him as a puppet to keep engaging lame candidates.

!!''Flander's Company'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* AddictionPowered: Caleb got himself some short-range teleportation capabilities after drinking an average of 8-liters of coffee ''a day''. Eventually he drank enough to [[spoiler:teleport a whole building]].

** Similarly, Kevin was first seen as this then ascended to a member of the C.C Corp. [[spoiler:He is one of the only three survivors of the C.C by now.]]

** In the season 2 finale, Hippolyte's BondOneLiner [[spoiler:after he killed Kevin is addressing the latter.]] However, he then gets back to add "Just kiddin'..." straight at the camera.

-->'''Dr. Fataloose:''' ''Of course,'' we must not play with the space-time continuum! Everybody know that, it always monstrously mess up things...

* HeliumSpeech: Mr. Trueman in the musical episode.

* TearsOfBlood: In the season 3 finale, [[spoiler:Hippolyte at the sight of Kevin's latest costume]].

* FiveBadBand: Beyond the fact that they are the protagonists, the main Flander's characters fit rather well.
** Armand Trueman -- TheBigBad
** Hippolyte Kurtzmann -- TheDragon
** Caleb -- TheEvilGenius
** Gladys Trueman -- TheBrute
** Cindy Trueman -- TheDarkChick
** Dr. Parker -- TokenGoodTeammate [[spoiler:AND TokenEvilTeammate as Damien]]
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Aegis heroes group:
** Sanguine -- Isis Pyro
** Choleric -- Liam Campbell
** Melancholic -- Mello
** Phlegmatic -- Dana Campbell a.k.a. Silverfox

** A big one by [[spoiler:Silver]] when [[spoiler:Hitomi "milked" her]] in the season 3 finale. The character, who until then was shown to be TheStoic, proceeds to literally [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown obliterate her]].

** Caleb is often seen using a tool looking suspiciously like a [[Series/DoctorWho sonic screwdriver]], and his Nuclear Rifle looks very much like [[VideoGame/JakIIRenegade Jak's Morphgun's Blaster Mod]] (later modified a bit to look less similar). Possibly justified since Caleb (played by the writer/director) is also a huge nerd and may very well have built many of his gadgets as real, functioning Movie Shout-outs.

--->'''Batman:''' They hack me off, all of them, by thinking I'm the IMF boss! (''pause'') Do I look like I'd go to a Sofitel?

* TemptingFate: Lost in the North Pole, Carla can't help but state that the situation can't get any worse. [[spoiler:Cue polar bear.]]
