On your left is the Main/FantasyKitchenSink, on your right is the Main/SciFiKitchenSink, add that to the Main/LawOfConservationOfNormality and Main/WorldOfWeirdness that's already there and you have the Main/GenreSavvy and Main/ScienceFantasy mess of a show we like to call Matt 'n' Dusty.

The series currently has two seasons, which comprise of 11 episodes released total as of November 30th 2013.

[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL692D5129FE3CA8DE Season 1]], With 3 Episodes, opening with "[[http://youtu.be/Z5EdvHH1MbM WTF]]" and closing with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aAPNmLccQs I, Trollbot]]"

[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4BEEF70DAF630D94 Season 2]] currently had 8 episodes, its opener was "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZtOAL4TVYw We Are Legend]]" and its last episode was "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsiwRPpeEMM Failure at Launch]]". Originally there were 21 episodes planned for Season 2, but due to [[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties Technical Difficultes]] has been reduced to 8 episodes total for Season 2.

[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFnhjnNykEIKq-I_5MbpNKpznM0w4-tOb Season 3]] started on May 17, 2014 with "Somewhere in Timespace". It is expected to have a story arc that lasts the length of the season, with a two-part season finale concluding said arc. It is unknown how long Season 3 will last, but series creator Creator/ThatAmericanSlacker has stated that "it's going to be a long season". Trollbots have been confirmed to return, and will have their own sub-series of Filler-Sodes "Moments With Trollbots" starting in June.

In addition to official episodes, Season 2 introduced "Filler-Sodes" that often contain one or two quick jokes and are mostly topical. Starting in Season 3, these will have a more prominent role, extending to jokes that either don't fit into a regular episode or work stronger on their own.

* Main/ArtificialStupidity: The Trollbots are a prime example, as seen in "I, Trollbot" and "50 Shades of Trollbot".
* Main/BetterThanABareBulb
* Main/ButtMonkey: Matt. If even if something goes right for him, it doesn't last very long.
** Starting with "Flipper's Revenge", there is now a counter for every time something bad has happened to Matt. It's currently at 16. On Twitter, Creator/ThatAmericanSlacker stated that he wants to put this number "into the hundreds" by the end of Season 3.
* Main/CluelessHero: Matt Carnegie is the definitive example of this. Even in the "normal" situations he manages to prove this.
* Main/CrapsackWorld
* Main/FantasticComedy
* Main/FormFittingWardrobe
* Main/LoserHero: Matt Carnegie is a loser even among losers.
* Main/NonHumanSidekick: Dusty is a fox.
* Main/NoFourthWall: Except for "WTF" and the "5SecondFilms" tribute, every episode so far contains a cold opening where Matt and Dusty speak directly to the audience.
** The quote above is a great example!
* Main/NoIndoorVoice: Dusty is prone to this.
** In "WTF", There is a "Loudness" counter.
* Main/OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Matt, [[spoiler: Parker Bradley, and Trey]]
* Main/PrecisionFStrike: Dusty is a master of this.
** The only time a censor bleep has been used straight was in the first episode. Since Season 2, all episodes are uncensored.
* Main/RaygunGothic
* Main/RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Matt.
* Main/ScienceFantasy
* Main/SirSwearsALot: Dusty.
* Main/TakeThat: Given the show's style of humor, this is to be expected.
** "Xbox Zero" is this to the Xbox One. Even the name of the episode is one.
* Main/UrbanFantasy
* Main/VitriolicBestBuds: Matt and Dusty.
* Main/WeirdnessMagnet: The whole show revolves around Matt and Dusty dealing with this trope in one way or another.

* Main/CallBack: In "We Are Legend", Matt and Dusty survive the asteroid collision by hiding in the same box the Trollbots came from in "I Trollbot".

* Main/FurryDenial: PlayedForLaughs in [[http://youtu.be/2yUxsfaIOL4?t=2m32s this]] memorable bit from "Flipper's Revenge".
* Main/IdiotBall: "I, Trollbot" involves Matt and Dusty dealing with the Trollbots.
* Main/HeroicBSOD: Happens literally in "WTF". Matt and Dusty spend the rest of the episode attempting to confront some guy down the street.

* Main/RobotWar: In "Failure at Launch", there apparently was one between the Playstation consoles and Xbox consoles.
* Main/WaxingLyrical: In "We Are Legend", Dusty asks how an airport restroom ended up in the Pentagon. Matt responds by saying "The same way the [[Music/BrentalFloss Taj Mahal ended up in Cleavland]]."

->''Well... That happened.''

** The biggest gap between episodes so far is a whopping SIX months. To be fair though, it was a transition between Seasons 1 and 2.

** Starting with "Flipper's Revenge", there is now a counter for every time something bad has happened to Matt. It's currently at 2, but then again it's brand new.

* Main/ScheduleSlip: Early in the series, episodes would come out around 3 months after the last one. While the gap between episodes has been shortened, it still has yet to find a regular schedule.

On your left is the Main/FantasyKitchenSink, on your right is the Main/SciFiKitchenSink, add that to the Main/LawOfConservationOfNormality and Main/WorldOfWeirdness that's already there and you have the Main/GenreSavvy and Main/PostModernism mess of a show we like to call Matt 'n' Dusty.

There are two sides of the internet: The normal adorable kitty side, and the dark "what the hell" side. Somewhere in between is Matt 'n' Dusty. In every episode, teenage loser Matthew Carnegie and his perverted pet fox Dusty are thrown into a number of unusual situations that can only be explained as "What the Hell?"

Season 3 has started development, and is expected mid 2014. It is expected to have a story arc that lasts the length of the season, and parodies of CallOfDuty, OneDirection, JonTron, PewDiePie, TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool, and Homestuck have been confirmed through series creator Creator/ThatAmericanSlacker's twitter account. SkywardSword was also mentioned in the tweet, but Slacker said that he wasn't ready to tackle it yet.

In addition to official episodes, there are also shorter videos (called filler-sodes) that often contain one or two quick jokes and are mostly topical.
