* FantasticRacism: A plot device that was supposed to be in ''Hard Justice'' but was carried over to this series when it was dropped.

Nerd is now a redirect for an index per TRS


-> '''Anthony''': I don't really have any friends, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial though it's not that I'm socially awkward]], it's just that [[TeensAreMonsters everyone at school is such a butthole]]. Or a {{nerd}}. Well, I'm a nerd too, sort of, but I mean like [[NoTrueScotsman a lame-super nerd, like a guy who thinks "Numa Numa" is funny]].

''[[https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=26E062679E79F42A&sort_field=added One Life Remaining]]'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'' comedy-drama {{machinima}} series by Jon CJ Graham, of ''WebVideo/ArbyNTheChief'' fame. The series follows Anthony Heitzmann, a lonely, self-admitted video game {{Nerd}} trying to [[PunBasedTitle get a life]] - with little success. It's notable for its significantly improved writing over Graham's previous attempts, but is now suffering from the same problems with CerebusSyndrome his older shows have been infamous for, which has caused it to be less popular than it once was, as the first season rivaled ''WebVideo/ArbyNTheChief'' in popularity.

* {{Nerd}}: Deconstructed for Anthony. Arguably it is his own attitude that is the source of his problems.
** PlayedForLaughs for Chad.

!! This series provides examples of:

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Kathryn. Of course, she did escape from the loony bin.]]
* BilingualDialogue: most of the time, Chad and Pete.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Kathryn.
* [[spoiler:BrokenBird: Kathryn, with a mix natural mental health issues turned her into a complete psycho.]]
* BlackAndGrayMorality: All the characters are either evil or {{Jerk Ass}}es. At best {{Deadpan Snarker}}s. And that includes protagonists. The only truly [[RousseauWasRight exceptional character]] [[spoiler: dies in the same episode when he is introduced.]]
* BlackHumor: [[spoiler: Drunken Anthony telling Sarah "[[{{Irony}} I've got WAY bigger problems than you]]" while she is being held at gunpoint. She doesn't take it well.]]
* BookDumb: Chad comes off as a [[TheDitz lazy idiot]], but he's got more common sense than Anthony and Peter despite them having a higher education.
* CerebusSyndrome: Again, as usual Jon's more intricate plots tend to go hard into this. Unfortunately, also as usual for his work it hasn't been handled as well as it could have, and it's been going on for far too long to where the show just isn't the same anymore. Most fans were hoping it blows over and they can get back to the more grounded in life style the machinima was known for in season 1. To put into perspective, the series ended with a [[spoiler:high speed police chase involving a bomb threat at a college]].
* ContinuityNod: The plot takes place in Esoteria, the same city as ''Hard Justice'' (Jon's previous series)
** Bernard Brown appears in a few episodes in the second season.
* CoolOldLady: Apparently Chad's grandma was crazy cool, but [[spoiler: but we only know this by how she died. She skydived into a volcano.]]
* ClusterFBomb: Chad likes to throw these.
* DeadpanSnarker: Almost EVERYONE. It's one of Jon's trademarks.
* FantasticRacism: A plot device that was supposed to be in ''Hard Justice'' but was carried over to this series when it was dropped. Elites due to the Covenant war are not accepted by most humans, and it was the reason Pete was bullied in college. It's also probably the reason he [[spoiler: gets beat up by the jerk cop that Kathryn tried to use to arrest Anthony and Chad on the way to their apartment.]]
* HumansAreBastards
** To the point of exaggeration. Seriously, what woman would try to throw you in jail just because your date with her was, well, unsuccessful?
*** [[spoiler: [[FridgeBrilliance She's a deranged psychopath]].]]
** Chad is probably the only exception.
*** Who is sometimes an ass anyway.
-->'''Chad''': So, uh... why are you afraid of toilets?
-->'''Pete''': { For God's sake, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm not afraid of toilets.]] The flushing sound [[{{Understatement}} just makes me kind of nervous]]. }
-->'''Chad''': Why?
-->'''Pete''': { I was given swirlies on a daily basis for four years at university by a closet homosexual. }
-->'''Chad''': What the hell? Your guts bullied in university! People don't get bullied in university...
-->'''Pete''': { [[FantasticRacism Yeah, people don't.]] }
** [[AntiHero Anthony skirts the line]], but his female friend from collage averts it completely. [[spoiler: Until Katryn kills Ted and Anthony acts like a prick to her.]]
** [[spoiler: And the asylum guard that Kathryn killed [[RousseauWasRight averts it hard]].]]
* JerkJock: Ted.
* LetsGetDangerous [[spoiler: Peter. On the SWAT team.]] SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
* {{Nerd}}: Deconstructed for Anthony. Arguably it is his own attitude that is the source of his problems.
** PlayedForLaughs for Chad.
* [[OddCouple Odd Triple]]: with the SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness being: Pete > Chad > Anthony.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Pete against Ted, and MUCH more seriously, [[spoiler: Kathryn against Anthony.]]
* SilentCredits: [=S2E9=], after [[spoiler: Ted dies]]. Also [=S2E3=], if the rain doesn't count.
* SliceOfLife: Whenever the series doesn't suddenly turn into a crime thriller, it's about Anthony trying to live a post-graduation life.
* StraightGay: Ted, at least according to Pete, but considering Ted's [[LargeHam voice is so exaggerated to be manly]] it's probably true and a parody.
* StylisticSuck: Fixedsys as the title card (and credits) font. Though this (along with square-wave sound effects accompanying them) is more likely a [[ShoutOut nostalgic allusion]] to fixed-width character displays of early computers.
* TakeThat: "[[Creator/FoxNewsChannel The O'Brian Factor]]" in [=S1E4=]
* TalkingToHimself: the first series by Graham to fully subvert this trope.
* TeamPet: Parodied by Pete.
* TookALevelInBadass [[spoiler: Post-timeskip Peter is a cop! He also seems to be a member of SWAT.]] DramaticGunCock
* TheyDontMakeThemLikeTheyUsedTo: video games, according to Anthony. [[AuthorAppeal Probably Jon, too...]]
* ThisLoserIsYou: after Graham released the first few episodes, there were tons of comments on Website/YouTube telling "[[GoshDangItToHeck holy crap]], this guy is so like me".
