''Eddie at The LMV'' is a British [=YouTube=] channel that was launched in May 2016, hosted by fictional character Eddie. It is based on an animated seven-piece musical band called The LMV that cover songs and create music videos to them that take the lyrics as literally as possible. You could describe it as the LiteralMusicVideo trope inverted, but mixed with the typical song covers that are found on [=YouTube=].
You can find the Website/YouTube page [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCluWnbtMasnapL-TiSy9DzA here]].

!!Tropes
* ACappella: "It's in Her Kiss", "Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "I Make Believe It's You", "Good Vibrations", "Big Man", and "Someday, We're Gonna Love Again".
* AerithAndBob: Eddie, Alan, Frankie, Lucy, Robbie, Sam ... and Wigan.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]]
** Eddie calls Creator/{{BBC}} News the StandardFiftiesFather of British news in ''Please Stop, TV''.
** The residents of Cleaner Close in the Daz commercials either have SuperOCD or are "[[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D-like neat freaks]]", as Eddie puts it.
** Rocky the Raccoon is a wannabe drug dealer and acts as if Coco Pops is drugs.
** The character dynamic of ''Series/{{Rainbow}}'' is a dad (Geffrey) and his three sons (Zippy, Bungle, and George).
** [[Film/HomeAlone Kevin]]'s family is so neglectful and uninterested in his wellbeing that they don't seem to care when he does the right thing in a life-and-death situation.
** [[Film/WalkingOnSunshine Taylor's friends]] are intentionally making her and Raf interact so that they'll admit their feelings to Maddie.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Averted with Alan and Lucy, who are very quiet.
* AllStarCast: [[invoked]]
** ''The'' one thing that Eddie didn't like about watching the Film/HarryPotter films, finding the recognizable adults too distracting to the point of being taken out of the films completely.
--->'''Eddie:''' Because I ''[[SarcasmMode definitely]]'' went to a high school where Creator/MaggieSmith taught me science, and Creator/AlanRickman taught me English, and Creator/HelenMirren was the chief janitor, and Creator/WarwickDavis was IT expert, and Creator/LaurenceOlivier served me chips in the canteen. ...And Creator/ChristianBale was my head teacher.
** Double subvertion with ''Film/WalkingOnSunshine'' in which only Music/LeonaLewis is the only famous one. As much as Eddie likes that she's in the background, she is the only character that is more informed about Taylor's love life than the other characters, yet she barely interacts with her old friend.
* AllThereInTheManual: The only person we get to know is Eddie. We learn everyone else's names in the opening credits of miscellaneous videos.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Alan the drummer. Frankie, Eddie, and Lucy have darker skin than him but Alan himself is too dark to be associated with the Caucasian members Robbie and Wigan. Perhaps he is half-black/half-white...
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Eddie says that the music he used to listen to was Music/TheBeatles, Music/{{ABBA}} and ''Series/LazyTown''.
* ArtShift: Every single character in the animated band has three different art styles: Bitstrips comic panel, Muvizu 3D animation, and the 2D [=Go!Animate=] animation. During the changes, some characters' hairstyles go from curly to straight, messy to neat, and Wigan's hair goes from one ponytail to GirlishPigtails.
* BerserkButton: Eddie hates EDM music, especially anything Music/{{Avicii}} made ("I'd rather listen to an Avicii album!"), and also makes snide comments about his hatred of Music/CalvinHarris and Music/JayZ. He also hates when television presenters pronounce "{{troll}}ing" as if they're trying to rhyme the word with "trolley", and the tropes LyricsVideoMismatch, ThePowerOfFriendship, and SurrealMusicVideo.
* BigOlEyebrows: Alan, in his Muvizu form.
* BlackBeadEyes: Sam, in his [=GoAnimate=] form.
* BreathlessNonSequitur: Eddie serves plenty of these whenever he talks about the topic of miscellaneous videos.
** When reviewing ''Series/{{Rainbow}}'', an episode features the main characters forming a band with the lead singer Zippy throwing a tantrum that drives the rest of the group away, and then dreams of becoming a world-famous solo artist. Eddie’s thoughts on this?
--->'''Eddie:''' [Zippy] became the lead singer to sabotage the band to go solo for being a tosspot. ...Is this a [[Music/{{Beyonce}} biopic]] [[TakeThat about]] Music/DestinysChild?
* BrickJoke: The Perky Puppy advert for the ''Perky Puppy, the Cutest Pets'' video, a clear reference to the performance at the end of ''They're Lelli Kelly, the Most Irritating Adverts''.
* CallBack: ''Top 9 Animated Opening Titles'' features a few during the ''ComicStrip/{{Dennis the Menace|UK}}'' entry, including Eddie stating that the 1996 one reminds him of joining Rocky and the Coco Pops monkey at the skateboarding park (one of the entries of his Favourite Adverts list), and then compares the 2009 opening titles to a poor man's ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'' opening titles mixed with a Music/FallOutBoy song, stating that it's as funny as the Light 'Em Up video he made a few months before ([[DontExplainTheJoke because it was based on a Fall Out Boy song]]).
* TheCameo: There’s a couple of these in the Literal Music Videos.
** Lucy has cameoed in videos more than any other band member, usually playing the drums in the background in group shots. There is also Robbie, to an extent.
** Alan cameos briefly in The LMV cover of "Don't Throw Your Love Away". When he hears a boy singing along to the track through his headphones, Alan hands him his love. His voice can be heard on "Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother".
** Eddie appears in "I Make Believe It's You" as Frankie sings. Alan also makes a cameo as the boy that Eddie's girlfriend is in love with.
** Sam appears in "Someday, We're Gonna Love Again", despite not having any input in the song.
** [[invoked]] A possible RetroactiveRecognition here, with Wigan making a cameo in "Drive My Car" as the woman that wants Eddie to be her driver, long before her appearance in "I’m Into Something Good" and her singing debut in "She's Kinda Hot".
** Sam acts in "No Milk Today", but Frankie is the lead singer (in fact, The LMV don't make any appearance in the track at all). This is similar in "This Empty Place", but with Robbie, Lucy, and Sam playing the music mutely in the background.
** The flash mob at the end of "Twistin' The Night Away" features Sam and Lucy in different parts of the crowd.
* CasualSportsJersey: Eddie wears a #9 O'Reilly jersey (the sports jersey that female soccer player Heather O'Reilly wore on the US women's soccer team).
* CharacterBlog: Eddie, Wigan and Robbie's Twitter pages. Robbie also has a Website/YouTube channel and makes frequent comments on Eddie's channel's videos, often complaining about not singing lead.
* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: The name of the channel slightly follows the pattern of this trope.
* ColdOpen: ''From Eddie's Bookshelf'' episodes always begins with one, usually a space for Eddie to make a joke or discusses something before the actual episode starts.
* CreatorCameo: Eddie will make appearances in music videos, even though he doesn’t sing at all.
* DeadpanSnarker: Eddie, when he's doing his solo videos, as well as his tweets.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Eddie invokes this in his review of the Coco Pops Crunchers commercial by claiming that the raccoon is using them as drugs, mostly because children are only allowed to be sharing the staking park if they can withstand the power of the crunch.
* DrugsAreBad: Parodied with "Say no to cereal from raccoons, kids."
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The early videos have a Fair Use disclaimer at the beginning of them.
* EchoingAcoustics: Most common on the acapella covers.
* EitherOrTitle: The titles of the Literal Music Videos have been changed over three times. Eddie just can’t seem to find a title that fits his videos.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: Eddie, after drinking the Love Potion Number Nine. He kisses a policeman, a woman, a man, and [[AnythingThatMoves chases after a dog.]]
* FanVid: The point of the Literal Music Videos.
* FlashMob: The end to "Twistin' the Night Away", with Frankie leading the formation.
* FieryRedhead: Robbie actually isn't one and is much more a DeadpanSnarker.
* FreezeFrameBonus: In "Need You Now", Eddie sings about having "another shot of whiskey" and a freeze frame of Eddie pointing a pistol at a surrendering man (presumably called Whiskey) is shown.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Eddie accuses adverts of trying to sexualise food in their commercials, and proves this by playing "[[Music/MarvinGaye Sexual Healing]]" over the commercial in slow-motion, including a man ''licking mayonnaise off his fingers''.
* GrayRainOfDepression: A snowy version in "This Empty Place".
* GutturalGrowler: Eddie himself. And to a lesser extent, Robbie.
* HarshVocals: Eddie and Robbie, whenever they get a solo.
* HongKongDub: Sort of. Eddie points out that many British detergent commercials have actors saying one thing, but their dubbed voice is saying another.
* HotMenAtWork: A trope that Eddie appears to hate. When talking about the Diamond Car Insurance commercials in his countdown, he praises the commercial for using realistic-looking people in the background instead of HollywoodHomely models. He comments on Music/FifthHarmony's "Work From Home" and Music/BritneySpears' "Womanizer" music videos glamorizing builders and office workers, respectively, when in real life, builders look like "your dad", as he put it, and office workers look like characters on the [[Series/TheOfficeUS US]] and [[Series/TheOfficeUK UK]] versions of ''The Office''.[[invoked]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Eddie moans about British news trying to be relatable to the youth by promoting their social media, but then immediately flashes up his Twitter username, begging viewers to follow him.
* IAmTheBand: Subverted in Eddie's case. Although he is the main character with his name in the channel, he didn't get a solo song until the 10th video.
* InMemoriam: [[invoked]] At the end of Eddie's second review of British Caledonian, a card in memoriam for Monarch Airlines is shown.
* IncrediblyLamePun:
** Many of the videos have this.
** Eddie's Twitter page is full of this, too: "[[https://twitter.com/LMV_Eddie/status/846067917972230144 So does]] UsefulNotes/ThePentagon have five sides, or...?" [[note]]Ironically, he was right.[[/note]]
* ItsPopularNowItSucks:[[invoked]] One would think that Eddie is attempting to discuss this on ''Please Stop, TV'', but it turns out to be averted. Eddie states that he's lost respect for television news because it promotes its social media all over the place, misses out stories so that the rest of it can be found on their website or social media, and scours the internet for the latest memes, even though parents and the elderly that don't understand the internet wouldn't know what they were talking about, or care.
* JumpingTheShark: [[invoked]] What Eddie accuses the creators of ''Series/DoctorWho'' of doing when they made the 13th Doctor female, comparing it to ''Film/Ghostbusters2016''. He argues that Jodie Whittaker being made the Doctor was because Creator/PeterCapaldi failed to maintain the younger audience that young and MrFanservice actors Creator/DavidTennant and Creator/MattSmith created, and if the Creator/{{BBC}} was actually progressive, they should've made the character female after the 10th of 11th, when the audience was still watching. Despite his opinion, Eddie writes at the end of the video that he wishes the new Doctor's actress good luck.
%%* LeadBassist: Eddie is a Type B and a Type C.
%%* LeadDrummer: Alan.
%%* LiteralMinded: A RuleOfFunny with the music videos.
* MediumBlending: The {{art shift}}s from the 2D style of [=Go!Animate=] to the 3D world of Muvizu. Not to mention, the original art style of the still frames of Bitstrips comic panels.
* MessyHair: Robbie's hair on the channel's header page.
* MulticulturalTeam: The LMV itself. There are black (Frankie, Eddie, Lucy), Caucasian (Wigan, Robbie), Eastern-Asian (Sam), and ambiguously brown (Alan) members.
* NewMediaAreEvil: Averted. In his "Please Stop, TV" video, Eddie accuses television and film of [[WereStillRelevantDammit trying to be relatable to its audience]] by including said new media clumsily into their work.[[invoked]]
* NoRespectGuy: Eddie accuses the [=MacCallister=] family of treating Kevin like this in the conclusion of ''Film/HomeAlone''. When the family discover that the youngest child is fine (despite being in the traumatising situation of being left in a house by himself for about a week, especially after being punished the night before it happened), Eddie points out that their nonchalant attitude could be easily interpreted as even more abusive than the film intended. He says that it really pushes his buttons when the father teases Kevin about going shopping, yet a typical child in a similar situation wouldn't have the skills or awareness to not do something about food and more likely end up starving to death.
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Robbie barely gets any solos. He is very vocal about this.
* NostalgiaFilter: Most of the time, Eddie's interests and memories are based around The2000s, and he rarely has anything good to say about TheNewTens.
* OffModel: It’s to be expected in low-budgeted animation. Expect characters' body parts or objects they're holding to merge disturbingly with others.
* OnlyOneName: Eddie doesn't have a surname.
* PermaStubble: Robbie has a five o’clock shadow in all of his appearances.
* POVCam: In "Do You Want To Know A Secret", the camera acts as the person Robbie is singing to.
* RefrainFromAssuming: The band isn't called "Eddie at The LMV". The band is called "The LMV", whereas Eddie is one of the members, that also hosts the channel.
* SatelliteCharacter: The only band member that is seen outside of the group is Eddie. Despite having a wider internet presence than the rest of the neglected group, Robbie mostly hangs around with Eddie.
* {{Scatting}}: Frankie scats the instrumental and introduction lines of "It's In Her Kiss".
* ShoutOut:
** The drop from Neon Jungle's "Braveheart" makes Eddie say that it would be better suited to torture people, followed by distorted clips from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' and ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' of disturbed characters reacting to it.
** When Eddie looks up the band The Way Out on Google, the results say "Did you mean Music/TheWho?"
** The channel's theme song is a SongParody of "Signs" by Music/SnoopDogg.
** The transition title cards have the riff from "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" by Music/ShaniaTwain.
** When talking about an episode of the Daz Cleaner Close commercials, Eddie talks about {{soap opera}} tropes, as well as an episode in which a man crashes a wedding. Eddie says that after the man runs out the church with the bride, he assumes that it will be like the end of ''Film/TheGraduate'' with the two runaways jumping on a bus to go to the nearest supermarket to buy Daz detergent.
** When discussing double entendre, Eddie often plays a clip from a ''Film/CarryOnSeries'' movie. It's usually famous jokes from ''Film/CarryOnCabby''.
*** "[[Creator/LesliePhillips Ding dong! Carry on!]]" from ''Film/CarryOnNurse''.
** Eddie's {{Parallel Porn Title|s}}: ''[[Film/ThorRagnarok Phwoar: Raging Cock]]''.
** "What a twist!" from ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' makes an appearance in Eddie's summary video on 2016.
** "I imagine the residents of Cleaner Close are [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D]]-like neat freaks."
** "Sweet dreams and [[Series/BarneyAndFriends lemon drops and gumdrops]] ... [[WaxingLyrical Oh, what a dream that would be!]]"
** Eddie points out that [[Film/WalkingOnSunshine one of the security guard/strippers]] look like WebVideo/{{The Dom|Reviews}}. When they first appear, [[Film/TheFullMonty "You Can Leave Your Hat On" plays]].
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Many of Eddie and Robbie's fights on social media.
* SoapOpera: Eddie has a hatred for them, mostly for it being a CrapsackWorld with KarmaHoudini villains and likable characters TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth, as well as [[TheCasanova serial]] [[YourCheatingHeart cheaters]] that date everyone in their neighbourhood.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Any video on the channel that isn’t a literal music video is advertised on the channel as this.
* SopranoAndGravel:
** Wigan (although she's alto) and Eddie (gravel) in their cover of "Need You Now".
** Whenever Frankie (baritone) and Sam (tenor and/or falsetto) duet.
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Quite a few occasions.
** As of early March 2017, Alan has had one leading song: "I’m Into Something Good".
** Robbie has sung lead on "Needles and Pins" and "Do You Want to Know a Secret". He's been the most vocal about this.
** Eddie doesn't get a vocal appearance until the tenth music video. Since then, he occasionally makes appearances.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Frankie and Sam are more likely to duet with each other.
* TinySchoolboy: Robbie is the shortest member of the seven-piece band.
* Administrivia/TropesAreTools: MusicVideoTropes are still used, even though the videos focus on following the story of the song they're promoting, unlike official music videos.
* UnfortunateNames: Robbie Dobbs (rhymes), Frankie Frank (his forename is a variation of his surname), and Wigan is a place in the UK.
* ValuesDissonance: [[invoked]] Discussed whenever Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime" is mentioned, especially with the controversial "Have a drink, have a drive/Go out and see what you can find".
* VisualPun: Several of the music videos base their comedic value around this.
* VocalTagTeam: "Live While We're Young", possibly to imitate One Direction's performance.
* WorldOfSnark: Any of Eddie and Robbie's interactions on Twitter, usually when they're complaining or commenting on something that confuses them.
** A variety of Eddie's tweets, in general. For example:[[invoked]] "[[https://twitter.com/LMV_Eddie/status/840575121572167680 The possible reason why]] Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia is because it's [[CaliforniaDoubling probably filmed]] in Hollywood."

''Eddie at The LMV'' is a British [=YouTube=] channel that was launched in May 2016, hosted by fictional character Eddie. It is based on an animated seven-piece musical band called The LMV that cover songs and create music videos to them that take the lyrics as literally as possible. You could describe it as the LiteralMusicVideo trope inverted, but mixed with the typical song covers that are found on [=YouTube=].
You can find the Website/YouTube page [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCluWnbtMasnapL-TiSy9DzA here]].

!!Tropes
* ACappella: "It's in Her Kiss", "Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "I Make Believe It's You", "Good Vibrations", "Big Man", and "Someday, We're Gonna Love Again".
* AerithAndBob: Eddie, Alan, Frankie, Lucy, Robbie, Sam ... and Wigan.
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]]
** Eddie calls Creator/{{BBC}} News the StandardFiftiesFather of British news in ''Please Stop, TV''.
** The residents of Cleaner Close in the Daz commercials either have SuperOCD or are "[[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D-like neat freaks]]", as Eddie puts it.
** Rocky the Raccoon is a wannabe drug dealer and acts as if Coco Pops is drugs.
** The character dynamic of ''Series/{{Rainbow}}'' is a dad (Geffrey) and his three sons (Zippy, Bungle, and George).
** [[Film/HomeAlone Kevin]]'s family is so neglectful and uninterested in his wellbeing that they don't seem to care when he does the right thing in a life-and-death situation.
** [[Film/WalkingOnSunshine Taylor's friends]] are intentionally making her and Raf interact so that they'll admit their feelings to Maddie.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Averted with Alan and Lucy, who are very quiet.
* AllStarCast: [[invoked]]
** ''The'' one thing that Eddie didn't like about watching the Film/HarryPotter films, finding the recognizable adults too distracting to the point of being taken out of the films completely.
--->'''Eddie:''' Because I ''[[SarcasmMode definitely]]'' went to a high school where Creator/MaggieSmith taught me science, and Creator/AlanRickman taught me English, and Creator/HelenMirren was the chief janitor, and Creator/WarwickDavis was IT expert, and Creator/LaurenceOlivier served me chips in the canteen. ...And Creator/ChristianBale was my head teacher.
** Double subvertion with ''Film/WalkingOnSunshine'' in which only Music/LeonaLewis is the only famous one. As much as Eddie likes that she's in the background, she is the only character that is more informed about Taylor's love life than the other characters, yet she barely interacts with her old friend.
* AllThereInTheManual: The only person we get to know is Eddie. We learn everyone else's names in the opening credits of miscellaneous videos.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Alan the drummer. Frankie, Eddie, and Lucy have darker skin than him but Alan himself is too dark to be associated with the Caucasian members Robbie and Wigan. Perhaps he is half-black/half-white...
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Eddie says that the music he used to listen to was Music/TheBeatles, Music/{{ABBA}} and ''Series/LazyTown''.
* ArtShift: Every single character in the animated band has three different art styles: Bitstrips comic panel, Muvizu 3D animation, and the 2D [=Go!Animate=] animation. During the changes, some characters' hairstyles go from curly to straight, messy to neat, and Wigan's hair goes from one ponytail to GirlishPigtails.
* BerserkButton: Eddie hates EDM music, especially anything Music/{{Avicii}} made ("I'd rather listen to an Avicii album!"), and also makes snide comments about his hatred of Music/CalvinHarris and Music/JayZ. He also hates when television presenters pronounce "{{troll}}ing" as if they're trying to rhyme the word with "trolley", and the tropes LyricsVideoMismatch, ThePowerOfFriendship, and SurrealMusicVideo.
* BigOlEyebrows: Alan, in his Muvizu form.
* BlackBeadEyes: Sam, in his [=GoAnimate=] form.
* BreathlessNonSequitur: Eddie serves plenty of these whenever he talks about the topic of miscellaneous videos.
** When reviewing ''Series/{{Rainbow}}'', an episode features the main characters forming a band with the lead singer Zippy throwing a tantrum that drives the rest of the group away, and then dreams of becoming a world-famous solo artist. Eddie’s thoughts on this?
--->'''Eddie:''' [Zippy] became the lead singer to sabotage the band to go solo for being a tosspot. ...Is this a [[Music/{{Beyonce}} biopic]] [[TakeThat about]] Music/DestinysChild?
* BrickJoke: The Perky Puppy advert for the ''Perky Puppy, the Cutest Pets'' video, a clear reference to the performance at the end of ''They're Lelli Kelly, the Most Irritating Adverts''.
* CallBack: ''Top 9 Animated Opening Titles'' features a few during the ''ComicStrip/{{Dennis the Menace|UK}}'' entry, including Eddie stating that the 1996 one reminds him of joining Rocky and the Coco Pops monkey at the skateboarding park (one of the entries of his Favourite Adverts list), and then compares the 2009 opening titles to a poor man's ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'' opening titles mixed with a Music/FallOutBoy song, stating that it's as funny as the Light 'Em Up video he made a few months before ([[DontExplainTheJoke because it was based on a Fall Out Boy song]]).
* TheCameo: There’s a couple of these in the Literal Music Videos.
** Lucy has cameoed in videos more than any other band member, usually playing the drums in the background in group shots. There is also Robbie, to an extent.
** Alan cameos briefly in The LMV cover of "Don't Throw Your Love Away". When he hears a boy singing along to the track through his headphones, Alan hands him his love. His voice can be heard on "Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother".
** Eddie appears in "I Make Believe It's You" as Frankie sings. Alan also makes a cameo as the boy that Eddie's girlfriend is in love with.
** Sam appears in "Someday, We're Gonna Love Again", despite not having any input in the song.
** [[invoked]] A possible RetroactiveRecognition here, with Wigan making a cameo in "Drive My Car" as the woman that wants Eddie to be her driver, long before her appearance in "I’m Into Something Good" and her singing debut in "She's Kinda Hot".
** Sam acts in "No Milk Today", but Frankie is the lead singer (in fact, The LMV don't make any appearance in the track at all). This is similar in "This Empty Place", but with Robbie, Lucy, and Sam playing the music mutely in the background.
** The flash mob at the end of "Twistin' The Night Away" features Sam and Lucy in different parts of the crowd.
* CasualSportsJersey: Eddie wears a #9 O'Reilly jersey (the sports jersey that female soccer player Heather O'Reilly wore on the US women's soccer team).
* CharacterBlog: Eddie, Wigan and Robbie's Twitter pages. Robbie also has a Website/YouTube channel and makes frequent comments on Eddie's channel's videos, often complaining about not singing lead.
* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: The name of the channel slightly follows the pattern of this trope.
* ColdOpen: ''From Eddie's Bookshelf'' episodes always begins with one, usually a space for Eddie to make a joke or discusses something before the actual episode starts.
* CreatorCameo: Eddie will make appearances in music videos, even though he doesn’t sing at all.
* DeadpanSnarker: Eddie, when he's doing his solo videos, as well as his tweets.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Eddie invokes this in his review of the Coco Pops Crunchers commercial by claiming that the raccoon is using them as drugs, mostly because children are only allowed to be sharing the staking park if they can withstand the power of the crunch.
* DrugsAreBad: Parodied with "Say no to cereal from raccoons, kids."
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The early videos have a Fair Use disclaimer at the beginning of them.
* EchoingAcoustics: Most common on the acapella covers.
* EitherOrTitle: The titles of the Literal Music Videos have been changed over three times. Eddie just can’t seem to find a title that fits his videos.
* ExtremeOmnisexual: Eddie, after drinking the Love Potion Number Nine. He kisses a policeman, a woman, a man, and [[AnythingThatMoves chases after a dog.]]
* FanVid: The point of the Literal Music Videos.
* FlashMob: The end to "Twistin' the Night Away", with Frankie leading the formation.
* FieryRedhead: Robbie actually isn't one and is much more a DeadpanSnarker.
* FreezeFrameBonus: In "Need You Now", Eddie sings about having "another shot of whiskey" and a freeze frame of Eddie pointing a pistol at a surrendering man (presumably called Whiskey) is shown.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Eddie accuses adverts of trying to sexualise food in their commercials, and proves this by playing "[[Music/MarvinGaye Sexual Healing]]" over the commercial in slow-motion, including a man ''licking mayonnaise off his fingers''.
* GrayRainOfDepression: A snowy version in "This Empty Place".
* GutturalGrowler: Eddie himself. And to a lesser extent, Robbie.
* HarshVocals: Eddie and Robbie, whenever they get a solo.
* HongKongDub: Sort of. Eddie points out that many British detergent commercials have actors saying one thing, but their dubbed voice is saying another.
* HotMenAtWork: A trope that Eddie appears to hate. When talking about the Diamond Car Insurance commercials in his countdown, he praises the commercial for using realistic-looking people in the background instead of HollywoodHomely models. He comments on Music/FifthHarmony's "Work From Home" and Music/BritneySpears' "Womanizer" music videos glamorizing builders and office workers, respectively, when in real life, builders look like "your dad", as he put it, and office workers look like characters on the [[Series/TheOfficeUS US]] and [[Series/TheOfficeUK UK]] versions of ''The Office''.[[invoked]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Eddie moans about British news trying to be relatable to the youth by promoting their social media, but then immediately flashes up his Twitter username, begging viewers to follow him.
* IAmTheBand: Subverted in Eddie's case. Although he is the main character with his name in the channel, he didn't get a solo song until the 10th video.
* InMemoriam: [[invoked]] At the end of Eddie's second review of British Caledonian, a card in memoriam for Monarch Airlines is shown.
* IncrediblyLamePun:
** Many of the videos have this.
** Eddie's Twitter page is full of this, too: "[[https://twitter.com/LMV_Eddie/status/846067917972230144 So does]] UsefulNotes/ThePentagon have five sides, or...?" [[note]]Ironically, he was right.[[/note]]
* ItsPopularNowItSucks:[[invoked]] One would think that Eddie is attempting to discuss this on ''Please Stop, TV'', but it turns out to be averted. Eddie states that he's lost respect for television news because it promotes its social media all over the place, misses out stories so that the rest of it can be found on their website or social media, and scours the internet for the latest memes, even though parents and the elderly that don't understand the internet wouldn't know what they were talking about, or care.
* JumpingTheShark: [[invoked]] What Eddie accuses the creators of ''Series/DoctorWho'' of doing when they made the 13th Doctor female, comparing it to ''Film/Ghostbusters2016''. He argues that Jodie Whittaker being made the Doctor was because Creator/PeterCapaldi failed to maintain the younger audience that young and MrFanservice actors Creator/DavidTennant and Creator/MattSmith created, and if the Creator/{{BBC}} was actually progressive, they should've made the character female after the 10th of 11th, when the audience was still watching. Despite his opinion, Eddie writes at the end of the video that he wishes the new Doctor's actress good luck.
%%* LeadBassist: Eddie is a Type B and a Type C.
%%* LeadDrummer: Alan.
%%* LiteralMinded: A RuleOfFunny with the music videos.
* MediumBlending: The {{art shift}}s from the 2D style of [=Go!Animate=] to the 3D world of Muvizu. Not to mention, the original art style of the still frames of Bitstrips comic panels.
* MessyHair: Robbie's hair on the channel's header page.
* MulticulturalTeam: The LMV itself. There are black (Frankie, Eddie, Lucy), Caucasian (Wigan, Robbie), Eastern-Asian (Sam), and ambiguously brown (Alan) members.
* NewMediaAreEvil: Averted. In his "Please Stop, TV" video, Eddie accuses television and film of [[WereStillRelevantDammit trying to be relatable to its audience]] by including said new media clumsily into their work.[[invoked]]
* NoRespectGuy: Eddie accuses the [=MacCallister=] family of treating Kevin like this in the conclusion of ''Film/HomeAlone''. When the family discover that the youngest child is fine (despite being in the traumatising situation of being left in a house by himself for about a week, especially after being punished the night before it happened), Eddie points out that their nonchalant attitude could be easily interpreted as even more abusive than the film intended. He says that it really pushes his buttons when the father teases Kevin about going shopping, yet a typical child in a similar situation wouldn't have the skills or awareness to not do something about food and more likely end up starving to death.
* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Robbie barely gets any solos. He is very vocal about this.
* NostalgiaFilter: Most of the time, Eddie's interests and memories are based around The2000s, and he rarely has anything good to say about TheNewTens.
* OffModel: It’s to be expected in low-budgeted animation. Expect characters' body parts or objects they're holding to merge disturbingly with others.
* OnlyOneName: Eddie doesn't have a surname.
* PermaStubble: Robbie has a five o’clock shadow in all of his appearances.
* POVCam: In "Do You Want To Know A Secret", the camera acts as the person Robbie is singing to.
* RefrainFromAssuming: The band isn't called "Eddie at The LMV". The band is called "The LMV", whereas Eddie is one of the members, that also hosts the channel.
* SatelliteCharacter: The only band member that is seen outside of the group is Eddie. Despite having a wider internet presence than the rest of the neglected group, Robbie mostly hangs around with Eddie.
* {{Scatting}}: Frankie scats the instrumental and introduction lines of "It's In Her Kiss".
* ShoutOut:
** The drop from Neon Jungle's "Braveheart" makes Eddie say that it would be better suited to torture people, followed by distorted clips from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' and ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' of disturbed characters reacting to it.
** When Eddie looks up the band The Way Out on Google, the results say "Did you mean Music/TheWho?"
** The channel's theme song is a SongParody of "Signs" by Music/SnoopDogg.
** The transition title cards have the riff from "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" by Music/ShaniaTwain.
** When talking about an episode of the Daz Cleaner Close commercials, Eddie talks about {{soap opera}} tropes, as well as an episode in which a man crashes a wedding. Eddie says that after the man runs out the church with the bride, he assumes that it will be like the end of ''Film/TheGraduate'' with the two runaways jumping on a bus to go to the nearest supermarket to buy Daz detergent.
** When discussing double entendre, Eddie often plays a clip from a ''Film/CarryOnSeries'' movie. It's usually famous jokes from ''Film/CarryOnCabby''.
*** "[[Creator/LesliePhillips Ding dong! Carry on!]]" from ''Film/CarryOnNurse''.
** Eddie's {{Parallel Porn Title|s}}: ''[[Film/ThorRagnarok Phwoar: Raging Cock]]''.
** "What a twist!" from ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' makes an appearance in Eddie's summary video on 2016.
** "I imagine the residents of Cleaner Close are [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D]]-like neat freaks."
** "Sweet dreams and [[Series/BarneyAndFriends lemon drops and gumdrops]] ... [[WaxingLyrical Oh, what a dream that would be!]]"
** Eddie points out that [[Film/WalkingOnSunshine one of the security guard/strippers]] look like WebVideo/{{The Dom|Reviews}}. When they first appear, [[Film/TheFullMonty "You Can Leave Your Hat On" plays]].
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Many of Eddie and Robbie's fights on social media.
* SoapOpera: Eddie has a hatred for them, mostly for it being a CrapsackWorld with KarmaHoudini villains and likable characters TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth, as well as [[TheCasanova serial]] [[YourCheatingHeart cheaters]] that date everyone in their neighbourhood.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Any video on the channel that isn’t a literal music video is advertised on the channel as this.
* SopranoAndGravel:
** Wigan (although she's alto) and Eddie (gravel) in their cover of "Need You Now".
** Whenever Frankie (baritone) and Sam (tenor and/or falsetto) duet.
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Quite a few occasions.
** As of early March 2017, Alan has had one leading song: "I’m Into Something Good".
** Robbie has sung lead on "Needles and Pins" and "Do You Want to Know a Secret". He's been the most vocal about this.
** Eddie doesn't get a vocal appearance until the tenth music video. Since then, he occasionally makes appearances.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Frankie and Sam are more likely to duet with each other.
* TinySchoolboy: Robbie is the shortest member of the seven-piece band.
* Administrivia/TropesAreTools: MusicVideoTropes are still used, even though the videos focus on following the story of the song they're promoting, unlike official music videos.
* UnfortunateNames: Robbie Dobbs (rhymes), Frankie Frank (his forename is a variation of his surname), and Wigan is a place in the UK.
* ValuesDissonance: [[invoked]] Discussed whenever Mungo Jerry's "In the Summertime" is mentioned, especially with the controversial "Have a drink, have a drive/Go out and see what you can find".
* VisualPun: Several of the music videos base their comedic value around this.
* VocalTagTeam: "Live While We're Young", possibly to imitate One Direction's performance.
* WorldOfSnark: Any of Eddie and Robbie's interactions on Twitter, usually when they're complaining or commenting on something that confuses them.
** A variety of Eddie's tweets, in general. For example:[[invoked]] "[[https://twitter.com/LMV_Eddie/status/840575121572167680 The possible reason why]] Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia is because it's [[CaliforniaDoubling probably filmed]] in Hollywood."
