History WebAnimation / AwesomeSeries

%%* MushroomSamba: [[SuperMarioBros Super Awesome Bros.]]

** TheLancer - [[{{Vexx}} Vex]] (or Vector)

** MetalGearSolid4: Guns of the Awesome was pretty good too.

* AscendedMeme: Creator/DavidHayter saying "OHMYGODHOTNESSIWANNABANGYOU!"
** Even better when ''Egoraptor himself'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4NJ4KhWQNo says it BACK to him]].

* TheDitz: [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash]] is flanderized]]s this from his usual IdiotHero personality.

** That scene was meant to illustrate intense gaming of two Halo fanboys.

** That scene was meant to illustrate intense gaming of two Halo fanboys, but I guess FreudWasRight.

Nonsensical, almost WebAnimation/{{YouTubePoop}}-ish animated shorts parodies, created by Creator/{{Egoraptor}}. Usually affectionate, mostly hosted on Website/{{Newgrounds}}, starting with the Metal Gear Awesome series and, like TheAbridgedSeries, spawning Awesome clones. Titles often go as such: [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto Grand Theft Awesome]], [[Film/{{Cloverfield}} Awesomefield]], and so on.

* AffectionateParody: Usually.

* EyeTake: Happens numerous times when the characters are shocked by some revelation. Lampshaded in Metal Gear Awesome.

* FridgeLogic: {{Lampshaded}} In-Universe, as depicted players and game characters often have their moments mid-scene.
* GagPenis
** Awesome Man
** Awesome Reach

* GeniusLoci: The Earth in Legend of Awesome, giving a [[FlatJoy flat "woo-hoo"]] upon being saved.

* {{Gorn}}: [[VideoGame/GearsofWar Gears of Awesome]]

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming

* JiveTurkey: [[SonicTheHedgehog Awesome the Hedgehog]]:

* LiteralMetaphor: Mr. Literal.

* MoodWhiplash: Awesome Chaotix.
* MushroomSamba: [[SuperMarioBros Super Awesome Bros.]]

* RuleOfCool: [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Awesome May Cry]]
* RuleOfFunny: {{Flanderization}} occurs to abide by this rule.

* SurrealHumor: the parodies of the subjects are so extreme that they become this, as well as the expressions. Dear God, the expressions.

* TropeName: CRYPTIC METAPHOR

* TrialAndErrorGameplay: Metal Gear Awesome again.

* VolumetricMouth: Often.

Nonsensical, almost [[WebAnimation/YouTubePoop YouTubePoop-ish]] animated shorts parodies, created by Creator/{{Egoraptor}}. [[AffectionateParody Usually affectionate]], mostly hosted on Website/{{Newgrounds}}, starting with the Metal Gear Awesome series and, like TheAbridgedSeries, [[FollowTheLeader spawning Awesome clones]]. Titles often go as such: [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto Grand Theft Awesome]], [[Film/{{Cloverfield}} Awesomefield]], and so on.

* ArtEvolution: The animation quality has noticeably improved since the first few installments.
** This was deliberate. While Metal Gear Awesome was animated with limited knowledge of flash animation, subsequent awesome cartoons were purposefully done sloppily at the request of MTV, who originally hosted them. Once Egoraptor was no longer animating for them, he was free to do them with as much production value as he cared to, compare Awesome Crossing and Awesome Center with their Reduxes and Awesome the Hedgehog to Awesome Chaotix (the 'sequel').

** [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Even]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome better]] when ''Egoraptor himself'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4NJ4KhWQNo says it BACK to him]].

* BerserkButton: In ''[[VideoGame/LANoire Awesome Noire]]'', mentioning to the police chief that he has a "double-chin thing".
** The release of [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} PokeAwesome]] happened to coincide with ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'''s release and [[DeadHorseTrope the arrow to the knee meme]], so the inevitable 'I took a solar beam to the knee' comments really pissed Arin off, especially since it was not intended to be a Skyrim reference.

* CharacterExaggeration: Ranging from the [[VideoGame/GearsOfWar Gears]] being raging jocks in ''Gears of Awesome'' to Mei Ling being annoying.

* DerangedAnimation: All of them, but [[{{Pun}} reaches]] its zenith in the completely insane Awesome Reach.
* TheDitz: [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash]] is [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] as this from his usual IdiotHero personality.

* {{Fanservice}} - Mocked in [[VideoGame/DeadorAlive Dead or Awesome]]: EXTREEEEME

--> '''Ryu:''' ''HEY!'' There's a ninja with huge boobs over there.
--> '''Ayane:''' Hi.
--> '''[=EgoRaptor=]:''' A-ah cool?
--> '''Ryu:''' ''[[CurbStompBattle IT WOULD BE IF YOU WEREN'T GETTING YOUR ASS KICKED SO HARD!]]''
* FastForwardGag: Used as a quick joke in ''Franchise/MetalGear Awesome'', skipping over the scene where Otacon narrates his backstory... and pausing halfway to find Snake and Otacon about to make out.

'''[[GeniusLoci The World]]:''' Whoo-hoo.
* FollowTheBouncingBall: [[GearsOfWar Gears of Awesome]]. "''WHERE'S MY WIIIIIIIIIFE?!''"

* GuideDangIt: [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Awesome]]

* RecycledINSPACE: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73vVm3pwD4w Metal Gill Jawesome]]: It's Metal Gear Awesome [-[[UnderTheSea WITH MARINE ANIMALS!]]-]

* SurrealHumor: the parodies of the subjects are so extreme that they become this, as well as the expressions. [[UpToEleven Dear God, the expressions.]]

*** Which [[Series/TheTester Sony]] probably didn't take too well...

* ViewersAreGeniuses: The "Hungry for Worms?"/"Hungry for Words" exchange in Metal Gear Awesome, at first glance, seems like a case of the Awesome Series' usual utter nonsense, but it is actually an obscure reference to a set of 1980's [[PublicServiceAnnouncement PSA's]] from the "Reading is Fundamental" educational campaign. According to one interview with Egoraptor, "It’s one of those things that when you are a kid, sticks in your head and for some reason known only to you, it remains funny."

* StopHelpingMe: [[invoked]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Legend of Awesome]] has Link doing this to Navi.
** [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Gear Awesome]]
-->"SHUT UP, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, I KNOW HOW TO CLIMB A LADDERJESUSOWMYEAR."
-->"STOP FUCKIN' CALLING!"
** [[VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus Shadow of the Awesome]]: "Hey asshole, if I wanted your help, I'd buy a fucking strategy guide!"

* GenreSavvy: Mega Man in Awesome Man.
-->'''Wily:''' OOHOOHOOHOO! I have created-
-->'''Mega Man:''' Eight Robot Masters and you plan on taking over the world. *sigh* Look, can we just get this over with? My balls hurt.

** Pretty much 90% of the dialogue in [[KnucklesChaotix Awesome Chaotix]]

Their main weapons are [[{{Flanderization}} exaggerating characters and flaws]] as well as random humor.

'-->'''Player Character:''' Well then, you'll just have to '''actually play the game! Ha haha!'''

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In Awesome Kong, Pauline refers to Mario as a 'plumber' despite the fact that, in that game, he was a carpenter. Also Donkey Kong calls Pauline 'Princess', when Pauline was just Mario's girlfriend.
** He could be snarking about the princess comment.
* CreatorBacklash: Egoraptor claimed that, of all his Awesome cartoons, his least favourites were Awesome Cracks Down and Awesome Rising.

* DevelopmentHell: Egoraptor has hinted many times before of the rumored Metal Gear Awesome 3 and if he really has been working on it, It's taking an awfully long time.
** He recently stated he only has one joke for the proposed Metal Gear Awesome 3, so it might be a mild case of writer's block.
** A recent Q&A at {{Reddit}} reveals that he's working on it.

* {{Gorn}}: [[GearsofWar Gears of Awesome]]

* {{Jossed}}: In a sense. Some of Egoraptor's fans asked if he would do an awesome cartoon based on an animated series, which Egoraptor stated he didn't want to do as the Awesome series is very video game based.

* ScheduleSlip: ''Metal Gear Awesome'' Part Two... postponed for ''one year''... on account of hiccups.
