!!''TF2 Analysis'' provides examples of:
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Invoked by Dr. Wolf to get Firebrand out on the battlefield against [[spoiler:Dustykatt]] despite what's already happened to Firebrand today: because Ink Rose is out there.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Silver Quill's "Meet the Video" has him outrunning Eliyora, Phantom Horn, and Firebrand.
* ArtifactOfDoom: [[spoiler:The [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel Alicorn Amulet]], obtained by Antony C and given to Dustykatt.]]
* AxCrazy:
** The reason Keyframe wants Thespio to be hired; she doesn't want anyone to feel his wrath.
** Eliyora sometimes falls here. Firebrand had to explain to her what useing her flamethrower safely meant...in that she did not understand the word "safely."
* BattleCouple:
** Keyframe and Golden Fox, both on the BLU team.
** Toon Kritic and Eliyora are a {{subverted|Trope}} example; they are on separate teams.
* BerserkButton:
** Lightning Bliss has not being taken seriously because she is either a) cute, b) tiny or c) and alicorn OC. This leads to her threatening Silver with his own minigun.
** Keyframe has jokes about how tall she is.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:In "Seven Nation Army", [=AntonyC=], the counterpart to the Administrator and the one who gave the Alicorn Amulet to Dustykatt.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:"Seven Nation Army Epilogue" has Antony forming an alliance with Lily Peet, Grey Mann's counterpart.]]
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext "AUSTRALIAN!" "CHEST HAIR!" "MUSTACHE!"]] [[ArtifactOfDoom "ALICORN AMULET!"]]]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Lightning Bliss goes to talk to Dr. Wolf about the editing for the project in her episode. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the doctor.
-->'''Dr. Wolf:''' Ah-- no breaking the fourth wall, please.
* BrickJoke: Voice of Reason uses his [[ItMakesSenseInContext rainbow-colored Jarate]] from "The Cuter They Are" on KP in "Stop Helping Me".
* BulletCatch: [[spoiler:Dustykatt]] catches a bullet ''[[NowThatsUsingYourTeeth with his teeth]]'' when Voice of Reason tries to snipe him.
* ButtMonkey:
** Silver Quill. Lampshaded by the time of "Seven Nation Army".
** Firebrand has second place.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs when [=AntonyC=] and Lily Peet both plan to betray the other -- to their faces.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pretty much everyone, as lampshaded in Lightning Bliss' recruitment video. But the no longer present Phantom Horn took the cake by far.
* ColdSniper: Voice of Reason. Golden Fox is more personable.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:The first encounter with an Alicorn-Amulet-powered-up Dustykatt is basically one of these.]]
* CutenessOverload: Invoked. [[spoiler:Silver destroys a bunch of robots by overloading them with Lightning Blitz's cuteness.]]
* DarkestHour: [[spoiler: "Seven Nation Army" Part 2, as the respawn is broken and there's a whole force bearing down on them.]]
* DeadpanSnarker:
** Gibbontake, as the RED Spy, is nothing but deadpan.
** Golden Fox after his introduction video gets some good snark as well.
* DisasterDominoes: [[spoiler:Golden Fox manages to destroy the entire robot army and their spawnpoint with one shot via this.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: What happens when you accidentally knock Mad Munchkin's hat off? She ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIj5sQwMqSI savagely attacks the luckless perpetrators and completely wrecks the place]]''.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Each character's personality is based more on their original personality than the class they play. Taken farther when BLU is introduced, as each member of BLU acts differently than their RED counterpart.
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Lightning Bliss, whose magic is rainbow-colored. She also somehow makes Voice of Reason's jarate rainbow-colored too.
* GreenEyedMonster:
** [=AnY=] of Firebrand, since he feels that as a German he should have been cast as the medic. He's also not happy about Keyframe getting it for the BLU team.
** In "Seven Nation Army" Part 1, this is brought up again, and Mad Munchkin feels the same about [=AnY=] being Demo. Firebrand retorts by saying that he won't treat them differently due to their race.
** Hinted to be the reason why [[spoiler:[=AntonyC=] turned against the mercs -- he's jealous that he wasn't allowed on either RED or BLU.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Mad Munchkin watches an enraged Toon Kritic and wonders who gets so angry at the drop of a hat. Silver Quill and Lightning Bliss force themselves not to comment.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Ellie and Toon Kritic both gleefully swap how much they enjoy taking out the other team and comment on how attractive the other is when angry.
* KillItWithFire:
** Toon Kritic's instant response to an alicorn OC, until he realizes it is Bliss.
** As the RED team's Pyro, this is pretty much Eliyora's Modus Operandi.
* KilledOffForReal:
** Phantom Horn, the first RED Soldier, is killed offscreen at the end of "Analysis Anarchy" and replaced by the Mad Munchkin.
** [[spoiler: Threatens to happen to ''everyone'' on RED and BLU when Dustykatt destroys the [[BackFromTheDead respawn generator]]. Ultimately [[Main/SubvertedTrope subverted]] when everyone makes it to the end of "Seven Nation Army" alive.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Dustykatt, who not only curbstomps both teams but destroys the respawn generator, putting everyone in danger of dying during his attack with his robot army.]]
* MindOverMatter: How Lightning Bliss becomes the BLU Heavy: her magic lets her swing around the minigun with ease.
* NiceGuy: [=FinnThePony=], who just wants to help everyone. Even when [[spoiler:Dustykatt is curbstomping both teams]], his main concern is [[spoiler:cheering up Lightning Bliss]] and getting everyone refreshments.
* {{Noob}}: Some of the newcomers are initially this. Toon Kritic and Golden Fox are both the "overconfident newcomer" versions before being set straight by Ellie and Keyframe, KP is the "doesn't listen to more experienced players" version until they find a way to play to her strengths, and Sweetie Bloom was initially limited because she wasn't sure how to use any of the weaponry until the sword was revealed as an option.
* NoSell: [[spoiler:Toon Kritic launches a rocket at Dustykatt, but Dusty catches it and ''crumples it up like a soda can.'']]
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Some ponies don't even try to fake the accent of their character, possibly to avert OohMeAccentsSlipping, including both Medics and Heavies. Ellie doesn't even try to muffle herself as the Pyro either.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping:
** Often, when someone is playing a character with an accent different from their own.
** Inverted with Ink Rose, who only rarely slips ''into'' the Scout's accent.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Firebrand gets launched ''clean across the map'' after taking a punch to the face from [[spoiler: Dustykatt]].
* RageBreakingPoint:
** Lightning Bliss puts up with not being taken seriously by anyone her entire visit. Silver Quill finally makes one wrong comment towards her, causing her to finally snap and hold him at minigun point.
** Firebrand hits his during the second part of "Seven Nation Army" due to one to many people second-guessing him. The guy goes ''Super Saiyan'' when enraged.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The finale of "Seven Nation Army" Part 4 has Dusty reveal that the robots were not his, and he had no idea how they got there. Cue [[WhamEpisode "Seven Nation Army" Epilogue]]...]]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Gibbontake, who resigned with the note "Left to become a pirate."
* SequelHook: "Seven Nation Army" Part 4 ends with [[spoiler: Dusty revealing that the robots were not his, and they were only there by happy coincidence. Adding to this is Seven Nation Army Epilogue showing [=AntonyC=] forming an alliance with Lily Peet, the robots' creator.]]
* ShipTease:
** "Analysis Anarchy" has a subplot focusing on [[FanPreferredCouple Firebrand falling for Ink.]] [[WordOfGod According to the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcjDYNvncnY "Making Of" podcast]], "Analysis Anarchy" was supposed to tie into Dr. Wolf's new "couples therapy" videos, [[JustifiedTrope justifying it]].
** Keyframe references her "other ships" when talking to Golden Fox, and flirts with [=AnY=] later in the video.
* ShoutOut: Several, unsurprising given how many of the analysts love that kind of humor.
** When Firebrand panics, the inside of his head is based on ''Disney/InsideOut''.
** When Firebrand is enraged, he briefly goes [[Manga/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan.]]
* StockScream: The Wilhelm scream has been heard on more than one occasion, even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Golden Fox in Mad Munchkin's video.
* StopHelpingMe: InUniverse, Finn is hired as the BLU team's manservant, but his eagerness to help gets him in the way. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF5uHxvXo_g His introductory episode]] even uses "Stop Helping Me!!!" as the title.
* StuffBlowingUp: Constantly. KP's video is probably the best example for offscreen explosions, while [=AnY=] and Golden Fox's have onscreen use of weapons.
* TakeThat: In-universe, Ink Rose declares KP only got the Scout job "because everyone else wanted to shoot you!"
* {{Troll}}: [=AnY=] acts as a bit of a troll in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeRMgZY0St4 "A New Challenge???"]], pretending to forget Keyframe's name. He claims it's because he's German.
* WeNeedADistraction: What gets KP hired. She's good at drawing the other team's attention by being a bit obnoxious without dying from it.
* WhamEpisode:
** "A New Challenger Approaches..." features the reveal of [[spoiler:[=AntonyC=] as [[BigBad the Administrator]] and Dustykatt as [[TheHeavy Saxton Hale]]]].
** "Seven Nation Army" Epilogue has [[spoiler:Lily Peet being revealed as Grey Mann (creator of the robot army), and her forming an (intentional) [[BigBadDuumvirate alliance with Antony.]]]]
* WhamShot:
** Pretty much all of [[WhamEpisode "A New Challenger Approaches..."]], but particular mention goes to [[spoiler:Dustykatt putting on the [[ArtifactOfDoom Alicorn Amulet]]]].
** The reveal of [[spoiler: Grey Mann / Lily Peet]] in "Seven Nation Army" Epilogue, with an accompanying WhamLine.
--->[[spoiler:'''Lily:''' ''A glass of water, if you please.'']]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: [=AnY=], who has a natural German accent, whenever trying to force a Scottish accent as the Demoman. Lampshaded by the Mad Munchkin in "Seven Nation Army."
* WhiteKnighting: Golden Fox initially has an issue with this regarding Keyframe, with the fact that he's not so good at the game initially getting in the way as well. He eventually becomes the BLU Sniper so he can protect her without it being too obtrusive.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:The reason why Dustykatt chooses to spare the team in "Seven Nation Army" Part 4.]]
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe:
** Golden Fox's reaction to Lightning Bliss, a tiny cute alicorn, cheerfully walking by carrying a minigun with no effort.
** Voice of Reason has this reaction when [[spoiler: Dustykatt]] catches a bullet from his sniper rifle ''in his teeth''.
* ZergRush: Both teams try this against [[spoiler:Dustykatt]] after engaging him separately fails. However, they are in turn met with a [[spoiler:robot pony army seemingly called in by Dustykatt]]. Part two of "Seven Nation Army" ends with a more coordinated version underway.

!!''TF2 Analysis'' provides examples of:
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Invoked by Dr. Wolf to get Firebrand out on the battlefield against [[spoiler:Dustykatt]] despite what's already happened to Firebrand today: because Ink Rose is out there.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Silver Quill's "Meet the Video" has him outrunning Eliyora, Phantom Horn, and Firebrand.
* ArtifactOfDoom: [[spoiler:The [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E5MagicDuel Alicorn Amulet]], obtained by Antony C and given to Dustykatt.]]
* AxCrazy:
** The reason Keyframe wants Thespio to be hired; she doesn't want anyone to feel his wrath.
** Eliyora sometimes falls here. Firebrand had to explain to her what useing her flamethrower safely meant...in that she did not understand the word "safely."
* BattleCouple:
** Keyframe and Golden Fox, both on the BLU team.
** Toon Kritic and Eliyora are a {{subverted|Trope}} example; they are on separate teams.
* BerserkButton:
** Lightning Bliss has not being taken seriously because she is either a) cute, b) tiny or c) and alicorn OC. This leads to her threatening Silver with his own minigun.
** Keyframe has jokes about how tall she is.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:In "Seven Nation Army", [=AntonyC=], the counterpart to the Administrator and the one who gave the Alicorn Amulet to Dustykatt.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:"Seven Nation Army Epilogue" has Antony forming an alliance with Lily Peet, Grey Mann's counterpart.]]
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext "AUSTRALIAN!" "CHEST HAIR!" "MUSTACHE!"]] [[ArtifactOfDoom "ALICORN AMULET!"]]]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Lightning Bliss goes to talk to Dr. Wolf about the editing for the project in her episode. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the doctor.
-->'''Dr. Wolf:''' Ah-- no breaking the fourth wall, please.
* BrickJoke: Voice of Reason uses his [[ItMakesSenseInContext rainbow-colored Jarate]] from "The Cuter They Are" on KP in "Stop Helping Me".
* BulletCatch: [[spoiler:Dustykatt]] catches a bullet ''[[NowThatsUsingYourTeeth with his teeth]]'' when Voice of Reason tries to snipe him.
* ButtMonkey:
** Silver Quill. Lampshaded by the time of "Seven Nation Army".
** Firebrand has second place.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs when [=AntonyC=] and Lily Peet both plan to betray the other -- to their faces.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pretty much everyone, as lampshaded in Lightning Bliss' recruitment video. But the no longer present Phantom Horn took the cake by far.
* ColdSniper: Voice of Reason. Golden Fox is more personable.
* CurbstompBattle: [[spoiler:The first encounter with an Alicorn-Amulet-powered-up Dustykatt is basically one of these.]]
* CutenessOverload: Invoked. [[spoiler:Silver destroys a bunch of robots by overloading them with Lightning Blitz's cuteness.]]
* DarkestHour: [[spoiler: "Seven Nation Army" Part 2, as the respawn is broken and there's a whole force bearing down on them.]]
* DeadpanSnarker:
** Gibbontake, as the RED Spy, is nothing but deadpan.
** Golden Fox after his introduction video gets some good snark as well.
* DisasterDominoes: [[spoiler:Golden Fox manages to destroy the entire robot army and their spawnpoint with one shot via this.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: What happens when you accidentally knock Mad Munchkin's hat off? She ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIj5sQwMqSI savagely attacks the luckless perpetrators and completely wrecks the place]]''.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Each character's personality is based more on their original personality than the class they play. Taken farther when BLU is introduced, as each member of BLU acts differently than their RED counterpart.
* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Lightning Bliss, whose magic is rainbow-colored. She also somehow makes Voice of Reason's jarate rainbow-colored too.
* GreenEyedMonster:
** [=AnY=] of Firebrand, since he feels that as a German he should have been cast as the medic. He's also not happy about Keyframe getting it for the BLU team.
** In "Seven Nation Army" Part 1, this is brought up again, and Mad Munchkin feels the same about [=AnY=] being Demo. Firebrand retorts by saying that he won't treat them differently due to their race.
** Hinted to be the reason why [[spoiler:[=AntonyC=] turned against the mercs -- he's jealous that he wasn't allowed on either RED or BLU.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Mad Munchkin watches an enraged Toon Kritic and wonders who gets so angry at the drop of a hat. Silver Quill and Lightning Bliss force themselves not to comment.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Ellie and Toon Kritic both gleefully swap how much they enjoy taking out the other team and comment on how attractive the other is when angry.
* KillItWithFire:
** Toon Kritic's instant response to an alicorn OC, until he realizes it is Bliss.
** As the RED team's Pyro, this is pretty much Eliyora's Modus Operandi.
* KilledOffForReal:
** Phantom Horn, the first RED Soldier, is killed offscreen at the end of "Analysis Anarchy" and replaced by the Mad Munchkin.
** [[spoiler: Threatens to happen to ''everyone'' on RED and BLU when Dustykatt destroys the [[BackFromTheDead respawn generator]]. Ultimately [[Main/SubvertedTrope subverted]] when everyone makes it to the end of "Seven Nation Army" alive.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Dustykatt, who not only curbstomps both teams but destroys the respawn generator, putting everyone in danger of dying during his attack with his robot army.]]
* MindOverMatter: How Lightning Bliss becomes the BLU Heavy: her magic lets her swing around the minigun with ease.
* NiceGuy: [=FinnThePony=], who just wants to help everyone. Even when [[spoiler:Dustykatt is curbstomping both teams]], his main concern is [[spoiler:cheering up Lightning Bliss]] and getting everyone refreshments.
* {{Noob}}: Some of the newcomers are initially this. Toon Kritic and Golden Fox are both the "overconfident newcomer" versions before being set straight by Ellie and Keyframe, KP is the "doesn't listen to more experienced players" version until they find a way to play to her strengths, and Sweetie Bloom was initially limited because she wasn't sure how to use any of the weaponry until the sword was revealed as an option.
* NoSell: [[spoiler:Toon Kritic launches a rocket at Dustykatt, but Dusty catches it and ''crumples it up like a soda can.'']]
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Some ponies don't even try to fake the accent of their character, possibly to avert OohMeAccentsSlipping, including both Medics and Heavies. Ellie doesn't even try to muffle herself as the Pyro either.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping:
** Often, when someone is playing a character with an accent different from their own.
** Inverted with Ink Rose, who only rarely slips ''into'' the Scout's accent.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Firebrand gets launched ''clean across the map'' after taking a punch to the face from [[spoiler: Dustykatt]].
* RageBreakingPoint:
** Lightning Bliss puts up with not being taken seriously by anyone her entire visit. Silver Quill finally makes one wrong comment towards her, causing her to finally snap and hold him at minigun point.
** Firebrand hits his during the second part of "Seven Nation Army" due to one to many people second-guessing him. The guy goes ''Super Saiyan'' when enraged.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The finale of "Seven Nation Army" Part 4 has Dusty reveal that the robots were not his, and he had no idea how they got there. Cue [[WhamEpisode "Seven Nation Army" Epilogue]]...]]
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Gibbontake, who resigned with the note "Left to become a pirate."
* SequelHook: "Seven Nation Army" Part 4 ends with [[spoiler: Dusty revealing that the robots were not his, and they were only there by happy coincidence. Adding to this is Seven Nation Army Epilogue showing [=AntonyC=] forming an alliance with Lily Peet, the robots' creator.]]
* ShipTease:
** "Analysis Anarchy" has a subplot focusing on [[FanPreferredCouple Firebrand falling for Ink.]] [[WordOfGod According to the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcjDYNvncnY "Making Of" podcast]], "Analysis Anarchy" was supposed to tie into Dr. Wolf's new "couples therapy" videos, [[JustifiedTrope justifying it]].
** Keyframe references her "other ships" when talking to Golden Fox, and flirts with [=AnY=] later in the video.
* ShoutOut: Several, unsurprising given how many of the analysts love that kind of humor.
** When Firebrand panics, the inside of his head is based on ''Disney/InsideOut''.
** When Firebrand is enraged, he briefly goes [[Manga/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan.]]
* StockScream: The Wilhelm scream has been heard on more than one occasion, even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Golden Fox in Mad Munchkin's video.
* StopHelpingMe: InUniverse, Finn is hired as the BLU team's manservant, but his eagerness to help gets him in the way. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF5uHxvXo_g His introductory episode]] even uses "Stop Helping Me!!!" as the title.
* StuffBlowingUp: Constantly. KP's video is probably the best example for offscreen explosions, while [=AnY=] and Golden Fox's have onscreen use of weapons.
* TakeThat: In-universe, Ink Rose declares KP only got the Scout job "because everyone else wanted to shoot you!"
* {{Troll}}: [=AnY=] acts as a bit of a troll in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeRMgZY0St4 "A New Challenge???"]], pretending to forget Keyframe's name. He claims it's because he's German.
* WeNeedADistraction: What gets KP hired. She's good at drawing the other team's attention by being a bit obnoxious without dying from it.
* WhamEpisode:
** "A New Challenger Approaches..." features the reveal of [[spoiler:[=AntonyC=] as [[BigBad the Administrator]] and Dustykatt as [[TheHeavy Saxton Hale]]]].
** "Seven Nation Army" Epilogue has [[spoiler:Lily Peet being revealed as Grey Mann (creator of the robot army), and her forming an (intentional) [[BigBadDuumvirate alliance with Antony.]]]]
* WhamShot:
** Pretty much all of [[WhamEpisode "A New Challenger Approaches..."]], but particular mention goes to [[spoiler:Dustykatt putting on the [[ArtifactOfDoom Alicorn Amulet]]]].
** The reveal of [[spoiler: Grey Mann / Lily Peet]] in "Seven Nation Army" Epilogue, with an accompanying WhamLine.
--->[[spoiler:'''Lily:''' ''A glass of water, if you please.'']]
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: [=AnY=], who has a natural German accent, whenever trying to force a Scottish accent as the Demoman. Lampshaded by the Mad Munchkin in "Seven Nation Army."
* WhiteKnighting: Golden Fox initially has an issue with this regarding Keyframe, with the fact that he's not so good at the game initially getting in the way as well. He eventually becomes the BLU Sniper so he can protect her without it being too obtrusive.
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:The reason why Dustykatt chooses to spare the team in "Seven Nation Army" Part 4.]]
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe:
** Golden Fox's reaction to Lightning Bliss, a tiny cute alicorn, cheerfully walking by carrying a minigun with no effort.
** Voice of Reason has this reaction when [[spoiler: Dustykatt]] catches a bullet from his sniper rifle ''in his teeth''.
* ZergRush: Both teams try this against [[spoiler:Dustykatt]] after engaging him separately fails. However, they are in turn met with a [[spoiler:robot pony army seemingly called in by Dustykatt]]. Part two of "Seven Nation Army" ends with a more coordinated version underway.
