History Series / PixelFace

* BadBadActing: Athelwynne plays up his LargeHam tendencies in his cut scenes, even adding extra syllables to words to stretch out his screen time. Clairparker, on the other hand, says everything in a bored monotone and [[ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud reads the stage directions out loud]].

* BizarroUniverse: In one episode, Riley exits the game from the wrong port and finds himself in a different console where Alexia is an ExtremeDoormat, Aethelwynne is a JerkJock, Rex is an InsufferableGenius, Claireparker is ThePigpen and Kiki is... a large, hairy man.

** Rex Dynamo is based off platforming characters like [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] or [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]].

** And Kiki Nova is based off any character in a dancing game such as ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution''.

* FlatCharacter: Kiki's ''entire'' backstory book amounts to a tiny pamphlet that reads "[[ExcusePlot Kiki loves to dance]]". This actually works in her favor when Tetris blocks start filling up the Console's memory and she starts to offload the cast based on how complicated their backstories are, which leaves her last. This gives her enough time to find out how to play Tetris and remove the blocks. After that, her backstory book was updated with a much larger and nicer description.

* RobotBuddy: Romford

Set in the imagined world inside a games console, ''Pixelface'' is a CBBC sitcom spin-off from the sketch show ''Series/SorryIveGotNoHead''. The show follows the on-and-off-screen lives of a group of computer game characters, each from a different genre. There's Aethelwynne, a questing elf; Claireparker, a zombie battling waitress; Rex Dynamo, a marsupial hybrid who collects apples; Sgt. Riley, a space marine; Lady Alexia Alderton, a glamorous legend hunter; and Kiki Nova, an incredibly upbeat and enthusiastic dance star. ''Pixelface'' shows the characters waiting to play their game and reacting when their console is invaded by the likes of an evil bug or a Premiership football team.

* WrongWire: In "Saving Private Romford", Romford's self-destruct protocol has been activated and is counting down to an electronic pulse that will wipe out all the data in the console. Clairparker comes up with a plan that amounts to 'pull out a random cog and hope that it stops things'. She pulls out a cog and the countdown speeds up. The other characters scream at her to put it back.

* BalefulPolymorph: Alexia is transformed into a yeti by a magical beauty cream in "The Ugly Truth".

* SuddenDownerEnding: The series as a whole ends with [[spoiler:Rex Dynamo finally finishing loading after the console's reboot... which took place 14 weeks ago. Everybody else is gone, leaving only Rex]].

* CrashCourseLanding: Kiki gets trapped in a flight simulator game and has to be talked through the landing procedure by Rex. However, being the CloudCuckoolander, Rex is only able to do after first constructing a mock-up of the flight controls made entirely of fruit.

* LethalChef: Aethelwynne.

* FictionalVideoGame: The show is set inside a game console known as The Console, with video game characters from the dancing game ''Groove Academy 2'', the action-adventure game ''Legend Hunter'', the zombie battling game ''Return to Zombie City'', the animal-themed apple collecting game ''Rex Dynamo'', the alien shooting game ''Sentient Force'', and the questing game ''Sword of the Ancients''. Several other fictional video games appear in individual episodes. According to the now-defunct online playbable versions, the console's platform is a "Gaming Station".

* MirrorUniverse: In one episode, Riley exits the game from the wrong port and finds himself in a different console where Alexia is an ExtremeDoormat, Aethelwynne is a JerkJock, Rex is an InsufferableGenius, Claireparker is ThePigpen and Kiki is... a large, hairy man.
