** "[[AllJustADream Ruby]] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Slippers]]": It's revealed that the entire series was a dream being had by Church back during Season 1, having only been knocked unconscious by Sheila's cannon fire. He describes his dream to a genuinely concerned Tucker, a remarkably lucid and sane-sounding Caboose, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and Jenkins]], who he apparently forgot about, before Simmons and Grif show up. Church tries to speak to them about the events of his dream, but they just hose the Blues down with [[MoreDakka machine gun fire]], killing them all. The Reds (complete with Sarge's original, nasally voice) then prepare to move on to the next zone.

--->'''Sarge''': ''(pointing at the front of the Warthog)'' Look, see these two two hooks? They look like tusks, and what kind of animal has tusks?\\

* StealthPun: Once Simmons discusses his shyness, there is an implication that he hasn't gone to the bathroom in ''three years.'' ToiletHumor, sure, but then you realize that it's the show telling us that Simmons is indeed full of shit.

* LoveTriangle: [[invoked]] A [[TriangRelations Type 4]] case with Sheila towards both Lopez and Caboose. And for Caboose, this is also a case of RoboShip.

* FirstLawOfTragicomedies

* FourManBand: Both sides have an OnlySaneMan (Grif and Church), TheSmartGuy (Simmons and Tex) a CasanovaWannabe (of the violent kind in Sarge, and the sexual one in Tucker) and a ButtMonkey (Donut and Caboose).

* KillEmAll: The first alternate ending results in every single character dead.

** "[[KillEmAll Fight! Fight!]]": A poorly timed comment from Sarge prompts a free-for-all that ends with everyone dead.

The first five seasons of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'', with the official collection's name coming from the fact that they take place in the Blood Gulch level of the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' series. The collection contains 100 episodes, as well as one MiniSeries, "Out of Mind".

* TheQuest: Tucker goes on one with the "Great Weapon" (his LaserBlade) at the behest of the Alien, with various "Great" things in parody of [[Franchise/{{Halo}} "The Great Journey"]]. [[spoiler:Subverted in that the only actual quest was to get him pregnant.]]

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Tex is the only girl in the show for quite some time, though in a case of PositiveDiscrimination, she's definitely the best fighter on either team. Sister then shows up in Season 5, leading to TwoGirlsToATeam for the Blues [[spoiler:until Tex seems to "die" in "Why Were We Here?", leaving Sister the only woman left in the entire canyon]].

The first five seasons of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', with the official collection's name coming from the fact that they take place in the Blood Gulch level of the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' series. The collection contains 100 episodes, as well as one MiniSeries, "Out of Mind".

* IntroductoryOpeningCredits: The first five seasons, at least on their film-like presentation on Netflix, have an extended introduction to start each series off, complete with name-presenting freezecams and camera sweeps. Both Seasons 1 and 5 on both [=YouTube=] and Rooster Teeth.com also feature them, though they're not seen with Seasons 2-4.

->''Roses are red, and violets are blue. One day we'll cruise down Blood Gulch Avenue.''

[[folder:Out of Mind (Miniseries between Seasons 4 & 5)]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: The tone is far more serious than the rest of the Blood Gulch Chronicles, barring a few jokes by York.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: We discover through York and Delta that Wyoming's name is Reginald, and that he enjoyed stupid knock-knock jokes. Astute viewers will take this [[spoiler:and the fact that "O'Malley" is a portmanteau of Tex's real name (Allison) and Omega, in order to realize that the time bending, knock-knock joke spouting A.I. Gary is actually Wyoming's partner]].
* MiniSeries: Five episodes.
* POVSequel: This miniseries explains what Tex was doing after Crunchbite died.
* VitriolicBestBuds: York and Delta spend almost all their mutual screentime snarking at each other, but it's clear they're fond of each other [[spoiler:especially since Delta is willing to potentially sacrifice his own existence to ensure York dies comfortably]].

-->'''Church:''' Dude, I can't! Your sword only works for- [[EurekaMoment Wait a minute.]] ({{Beat}}). There's no ''possible'' way he understands that. Fuck it, give me the sword!

-->'''Church''': Well what about after? You think Omega's just gonna stop after he [[spoiler:gets a whole species for an army? He's gonna take over everything Tex, and you're not gonna be able to stop him!]]

** Most notably, the series constantly parodies the ExcusePlot, with the series' ArcWords literally being "You ever wonder why we're here?". The first episode has [[HollywoodNerd Simmons]] pointing out to [[LazyBum Grif]] that the ForeverWar between the Red and Blue Teams is completely pointless, since if one side were to win (or the other side were to pull out), the "victor" would just have ''two'' bases in the middle of a box canyon.

* ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud: Caboose engages in this in Donut's play about how they ended up in the future.
-->'''Donut:''' Caboose, stop reading your stage directions.
-->'''Caboose:''' You told me I was supposed to read anything with my name in front of it.
-->'''Donut:''' Just the lines, not the blocking. You're ruining my big debut!
-->'''Caboose:''' I do not think we are meshing, artistically. I think you should talk to my agent.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Pretty standard for Caboose.

* BlatantLies: Tucker lies to hide the fact that they let Tex help after Church explicitly told them not to.

'''Tucker''': I'm talking about Matrix ''[[{{Sequelitis}} One]]''.
