* LovableNerd: Xavior 3.10. His name should say enough. When he's bored he pulls out his [[UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh MacBook]] (which he stole from Best Buy around Christmas as his original Macbook were destroyed by Francis) or his iPhone, and sometimes no-clips out of the area by means of travel.

* {{Delinquents}}: You better believe it.Dan and Chris were your typical highschool delinquent and a bully, to little effectiveness.



* EmoTeen: There was a kid who perfectly fulfilled the emo stereotype, stabbing himself with a needle and such. Unfortunately, he suffered ChuckCunninghamSyndrome and has not been in many episodes.

* NoFourthWall: At one point, when Xavier needs to look up where a destination is, he has to close Sony Vegas...''which is in the middle of editing the very video we are watching''.

* NoFourthWall: NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
** Apart of using Mossman's model, Ms. Person is suspiciously similar to Creator/StephenHawkins, down to being crippled from waist down and being wheelchair-bound, slumped posturing, and using a text-to-speech program to speak.
** The Gym Teacher looks like Creator/BruceWillis and speaks like Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.

** When trying to leave the chemistry class, Postal Dude tries to break into a car parked outside, only to change his mind because the cars in the town is only a prop anyway.


Added DiffLines:

** Though not part of the main character and his "heroic" status is ambiguous at best, [[VideoGame/Postal2 Postal Dude]] thinks it's more [[InsaneTrollLogic politically correct to kill the women and the minorities first]], before shooting Ms. Person [[BoomHeadshot in the head]]. She survives the whole thing.


Added DiffLines:

** To an extent, [[DrillSergeantNasty the Gym Teacher]] loves to badmouth his students and put them in sadistic military drills.


Added DiffLines:

* YouAllLookFamiliar: Plenty of named characters were edits of several VideoGame/HalfLife2 citizens, with male_09 being the most common. Case in point; Elliot, Wesley, Chris, and both Emo and Crabcore Kid were using male_09 as a base.

* BaldnessMockery: In one episode, Mr. Higglesworth insults Brandon by calling him bald, but Brandon points out Mr. Higglesworth is also bald. Mr. Higglesworth angrily points out that he does have hair, but Elliot says he's technically balding. Parodied when Elmer, [[HypocriticalHumor who is actually bald,]] insults Elliot for being bald when he's clearly not.


''Elliot Goes To School'' was a [[SturgeonsLaw surprisingly well-done]] series created by WebAnimation/Kitty0706, made with VideoGame/GarrysMod, and includes voice actors. It involves [[StuffBlowingUp random explosions]], [[SadistTeacher horrible teachers]], [[GagPenis penis jokes]], and overall total chaos.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* SadistTeacher: Mr. Tittles- I mean, Mr. Higglesworth. He throws desks, chairs, and boots at his students [[UpToEleven on a regular basis]], frequently calls them "[[ArcWords fagola]]," and his very first line was, "Sit your fat asses down, you pack of used condoms!"

[[caption-width-right:250:L to R: [[CloudCuckooLander Elmer]] [[BreakoutCharacter Fapp]], [[OnlySaneMan Ell]][[AuthorAvatar iot]], [[{{Jerkass}} Brandon]], [[TheDitz Jimbo]], [[ExtravertedNerd Xavior 3.10]], and F O L D I N G C H A I R.]]

''Elliot Goes To School'' was a [[SturgeonsLaw surprisingly well-done]] series created by WebAnimation/Kitty0706, made with VideoGame/GarrysMod, and includes voice actors. It involves [[StuffBlowingUp random explosions]], [[SadistTeacher horrible teachers]], [[GagPenis penis jokes]], and overall total chaos.

The plot consists of the overly random antics that occur at the new high school that Elliot (the main character) attends, along with his band of misfits that constitute his friends, and each episodes plot goes from [=Kitty0706=]'s unique take on the everyday rituals of the American education system, from field trips to Mondays. Although there have been episodes that haven't been based entirely within the school or not called "Elliot Goes to School" (namely 'Elliot Goes Camping'), they are still canon to the overall plot.

The series ran for five episodes from 2009 to 2012 with fair distance between their release dates. After the fifth episode, "Elliot Goes Camping", was released, the series saw a 3-year hiatus. Unfortunately, this episode turned out to be the last one that [=Kitty0706=] would ever produce, since in January 2015 he would die after a long battle with leukemia.

The series can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkc5Exg6lwQ here]] and was made by the late [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kitty0706 kitty0706]].

----
!! This show provides examples of:
* AndTheAdventureContinues: Which lapses into BittersweetEnding as ''Camping'' ends with Elliot getting back on his bike and riding off for more wacky adventures. Of course, this would end up being the final episode due to [=Kitty0706=]'s untimely passing.
* ArtEvolution: The slapstick animation gets more and more elaborate when compared to earlier episodes' simple ragdoll shenanigans.
* ButtMonkey: Almost half of the cast got tricked, shamed, and smashed a lot. Examples like Elliot, Jimbo, Dan and Chris, Emo Kid, you name a few. Whether it's from Brandon's own machinations or Mr. Higglesworth abuse, no one escapes the slapstick.
* TheCameo: Many.
** UsefulNotes/BillClinton, who is addicted to smoking "doobies", he later pops up in "Elliot Goes Camping", now homeless and wearing clown make-up due to his addiction.
** The [[VideoGame/{{Postal}} Postal Dude]] in his Chemistry Class.
** The ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' Sniper, for a split second.
** Lock from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' is found sitting next to a Combine Elite (from the ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' series) who he may or may not be friends with, those two are the only recurring characters in Elliot's Italian Class that haven't been used in a joke, or anything for that matter.
** Francis from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' is the driver of the school bus.
** The G-Man from ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' is an often recurring character, and is often shouting at teachers.
*** He's actually a representation of kitty0706's good friend F O L D I N G C H A I R and is accordingly voiced by him.
* CaptainObvious: Brandon's attempts at dramatic narration during ''Elliot Goes Camping'' come off as this. Often times he'll be interrupted or drowned out.
* CharacterActionTitle
* CharacterizationMarchesOn:
** Lampshaded and zigzagged. "Elliot Goes Camping" shows that Brandon has moved on from being an annoying high-pitched prick to an annoying narrator of events. He still lapses into his original persona at times, but he clarified that this was due to playing a bit too much of VideoGame/AlanWake.
--->'''Brandon''': Yeah, I played Alan Wake too much, that's why I talk like this.
** Elliot flip flops between OnlySaneMan and TheQuietOne but soon gets more dialogue that shows off that, while he is still the only one who seems to have a good head on his shoulders, is not free from the G-Mod insanity he's animated in.
* ClassClown: Brandon is a great example of this. However, if someone makes a joke toward him, he'll just sit back in his seat and mumble, "Oh. Ok."
* CloudCuckooLander: Elmer is fairly grounded in reality for one of these, but never for one whole sentence at a time. Case in point, when he interrupts Elliot and Xavier's argument about their GPS map...
--->Elmer: Stop arguing and divorce already! My nails are sensitive.
--->''(Creepy high-contrast close-up of his freshly-painted fingernails)''
* ContinuityNod:
** In "Field Trip", Elliot points out that he already answered Mr. Cool's question in the previous episode.
** In "Mondays", Xavier steals a Macbook to replace the laptop Francis destroyed in the last episode.
** In "Elliot Goes Camping", Elliot points out that Xavier's Macbook is stolen.
*** In the same episode, Elliot also makes note of the fact that the last time he [[PrecisionFStrike cursed]] was back in the very first episode.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Turns out that the campsite the characters had been looking for in "Elliot Goes Camping" for about 12 minutes had been in Elliot's backyard all along.
* {{Delinquents}}: You better believe it.
* DerangedAnimation: Yes.
* EmoTeen: There was a kid who perfectly fulfilled the emo stereotype, stabbing himself with a needle and such. Unfortunately, he suffered ChuckCunninghamSyndrome and has not been in many episodes.
* {{Facepalm}}: Elliot performs one of these in the camping episode.
* GroinAttack: "Oh, my jewels!"
* HaHaHaNo: "Ha! [[ADateWithRosiePalms Fapp]]! You're so funny! Ha ha ha ha ha ''no''.".
* HighSchool: It's in the title.
* HilarityEnsues: Essentially the norm in Elliot's high school mishaps.
* InsaneTrollLogic: "I told you he got tackled by a squirrel! That's his clone!"
* LateForSchool: Elliot is late for school [[RunningGag every single day]]. [[OnceAnEpisode Each episode]], in fact, includes a montage usually set to intense music of him rushing to school.
* LovableNerd: Xavior 3.10. His name should say enough. When he's bored he pulls out his [[UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh MacBook]] (which he stole from Best Buy around Christmas as his original Macbook were destroyed by Francis) or his iPhone, and sometimes no-clips out of the area by means of travel.
* MediumAwareness: Everyone is aware that they are in a [=GMod=] series, especially Xavier, who often [[RealityWarper messes around with the coding]].
* NoFourthWall: At one point, when Xavier needs to look up where a destination is, he has to close Sony Vegas...''which is in the middle of editing the very video we are watching''.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Played with. The first time Brandon reverted to his normal voice was in a DudeNotFunny reaction to one of Mr. Higglesworth's insults. Later episodes portray this as him wanting to [[SincerityMode clarify things, being serious for a moment]], or [[RuleOfFunny just for shits and giggles]].
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Elliot. ... [[NotSoAboveItAll To an extent.]]
* OrphanedSeries: Unfortunately fell victim to this after series creator kitty0706 died from leukemia.
* OnlySaneMan: Elliot often plays this role, though it's clear he's just as nuts as the rest of them.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Especially in earlier episodes, Elliot and friends enjoy throwing around homophobic slurs like there's no tomorrow. That said, it's a bit justified by everyone being really immature and juvenile sophomore high schoolers trying to be edgy.
* RealityWarper: Xavier often messes around with the environment's coding to get himself and the others out of a jam.
* RewatchBonus: The fifth episode becomes a bit more hilarious when you find out where the group's camping ground is located. [[spoiler:It's right in Elliot's backyard.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Mr. Higglesworth throws these out ''at least'' once per episode.
* RousingSpeech: Elliot gives one at the end of the first episode. You'd never expect that from a guy like him.
* RuleOfFunny
* RunningGag: Lots of them.
** Elliot is always LateForSchool.
** Brandon saying, "H-hold on a second." and [[ShutUpHannibal punching Ms. Person]] [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom across the room]].
** The cinder block that keeps hitting Elliot, normally when he is about to ride his bike.
** ELLIOT IS A FURRY (albeit a damn good one).
** Mr. Higglesworth failing ''everyone on everything.''
** Their Gym Teacher is [[RatedMForManly an ex-army General]] and speaks like Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.
** Brandon switches between [[CloudCuckooLander CloudCuckooLander]]/[[JerkAss Jerkass]] and [[OnlySaneMan suprisingly calm]], usually in response to characters who just aren't being funny or to a well placed retort, he quickly switches back though.
** Fagolas.
** "Shut your face!"
* SadistTeacher: Mr. Tittles- I mean, Mr. Higglesworth. He throws desks, chairs, and boots at his students [[UpToEleven on a regular basis]], frequently calls them "[[ArcWords fagola]]," and his very first line was, "Sit your fat asses down, you pack of used condoms!"
** It's implied though, that the reason why he hates his students is because of their unwillingness to actually be educated.
* SelfDeprecation: The series pokes fun at the fact that kitty0706 likes to draw furry art many times.
* SincerityMode: Whenever Brandon slips back into his normal voice as opposed to his usual high-pitched one.
* TakeThat: "Field Trip" takes some time to rip into ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}''.
-->'''Brandon''' (normal voice): Hey, Mr. Postal dude. You're not funny. And you look like a gay version of [[Film/TheMatrix Neo]] that's voice actor fails at being cool.
* WhyAreYouNotMySon: Elliot's grandmama thinks of Jimbo as the grandson she never had when he calls her out for parking her monster truck so far away from the curb. [[SubvertedTrope Then she rescinds the compliment and tells him and the others to go die before dumping them out.]]
