History WebAnimation / TF2Analysis

* ExtendableArms: At the end of "Inglorious Jasper", Jasper cartoonishly extends his front limbs to gather the whole of BLU team in a GroupHug, willing or not (except for KP and [=GoldenFox=], who had the presence of mind to get out Dodge soon enough).

For the BLU Team, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpRLi63Nu9KZuEFvHvdGprQ Keyframe]] is the Medic, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/barkbitstaketwo Sweetie Bloom]] is the Demopony, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GoldenFox17 GoldenFox]] is the Sniper, WebAnimation/ILoveKimPossibleAlot is the Scout, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/e1d2k Lightning Bliss]] is the Heavy, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqAZvOTXWHACXIi2k6n5p9w FinnThePony]] is the Engineer, and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DaWillstanator Thespio]] is the Spy. [=ToonKriticY2K=] was originally the Soldier, but later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBduYySYyu0 switched classes to Pyro]]. However, as of late January 2018, he has been banned from the project and the MLP analysis community at large in the wake of [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment certain real-life events]], and his character was written out. Tyandaga later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM_FNvkknKE took up the role]] in July 2019, finally giving both teams a full roster.

* BigShutUp: In "Power Up", Dr. Wolf manages to get everybody to calm down, despite them being already in TorchesAndPitchforks mode, with a loud "SILENCE!"

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: After their rampage in "Size Matters Not" breaks the respawn generator (again), Dr. Wolf is forced to punish Keyframe and Lightning Bliss by sending them on vacation... ''without their drawing tablets''.
** At then end of "Green Inferno", Eli gets back at Silver for [[spoiler: forcing the Pyro goggles on her]] by forcing him to watch a marathon of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales''.

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Lightning Bliss, whose magic is rainbow-colored. She also somehow makes Voice of Reason's jarate rainbow-colored too.

* FacePalm:

* LetMeAtHim: Played with in "A Helping Hoof". Lightning Bliss asks Finn to hold her back from laying it on Toon Critic for making constant short jokes. However, Finn doesn't quite understand the concept and is so serviable that anytime she yells "LET ME AT HIM!", he actually let goes of her, to Bliss's annoyance.

* MassOhCrap: Absolutely ''everyone'' in Coal Town has this reaction upon discovering that [[spoiler: Eliyora is wearing the Pyro mask. Which has the side effect of driving her even crazier than usual.]]

* 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.

** At then end of "Green Inferno", Eli gets back at Sliver for [[spoiler: forcing the Pyro goggles on her]] by forcing him to watch a marathon of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales''.

** Out of frustration at not having an effective secondary weapon, Lightning Bliss unleashes her pet rainbow monster Twink who proceeds to rampage across the map and shrug off everything both teams can throw at him until Doctor Wolf shows up and literally stares him into submission.

** Finn: A cookie version of himself

As for the villains, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Williamsfan AntonyC]] takes the role of the Administrator, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/dustykatt Dustykatt]] plays Saxton Hale, and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYvXA-XML0WMytlRLd_cNRw SEGASister]] plays Miss Pauling. Creator/LilyOrchard originally played Grey Mann, until she was fired from the role due to conflicts between her and Josh. [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AzV3oYVVwc The Nightmare]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkghPLAyoRs Night 2015 panel]] confirmed that they have actors set for Redmond and Blutarch Mann.]]

* RedHerring: Several comments by Vector Brony implied that [[spoiler: the robots were his.]] As it turned out, [[spoiler: Lily Peet was actually the master of the robots.]] Strangely, Vector kept making comments like this even after TheReveal.
** Averted now, with the release of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So06SxSlfww ''Asking For The Moon'']] it turns out that Vector really was behind the robots!

** KP and Sweetie Bloom get the better of Dr. Wolf by taking advantage of [[Disney/{{Zootopia}} his species' instinct to howl]].

** Ink Rose: the "Princess of Discord", which involves changing into an ''Equestria Girls'' form and wearing armor, with glowing eyes

** Sweetie Bloom reveals that she has her own super form as well, wherein she dons a ''Anime/SailorMoon''-inspired outfit and her Eyelander broadsword becomes an ornate jeweled cutlass. The extended transformation sequence was abbreviated however, which Lightning Bliss blames on budget restriction.

** One episode in particular has Ink Rose falling victim to one pratfall after another while trying to protect a visually-impaired Sweetie Bloom from various hazards, ultimately resulting in Ink falling through a portal to Tartarus.
* StaringDownCthulhu: Doc stares down the rampaging Twink, who goes from full-on berserker rage to sitting on its haunches and whimpering like a puppy.

** If the contents of the Episode "The Rescuers: Six Feet Under" is to be believed, Jasper Pie once managed to somehow create a Mozzarella-Powered Hamster Wheel using, and we quote, "Two car batteries, a gallon of Ginger Ale and a Dream!"
*** And immediately after the above occurs, its revealed that there was also, supposedly, a night in Las Pegasus that Jasper and Thespio were involved in that included Ginger Ale, some expired Nachos and an unspecified number of tigers (we don't get to learn much else due to Lightning Bliss unintentionally making Thespio snap at her).
** In the Episode Witch Fairy W.I.T.C.H., Jasper appears with a band-aid on his horn. The incident that resulted in such treatment apparently had something to do with 3 rubber chickens, an Eskimo and a rump roast. And three layers of spandex.

*** Just before the above, its revealed that there was also, supposedly, a night in Las Pegasus that Jasper and Thespio were involved in that included Ginger Ale, some expired Nachos and an unspecified number of tigers (we don't get to learn much else due to Lightning Bliss unintentionally making Thespio snap at her).

* ClockworkPrediction: During the Rise of Phoenix arc, Voice of Reason tries to get the teams to raid a robot factory to get the plans on the robot army that attacked them earlier, but things don't go as planned. When GoldenFox hears that his girlfriend, Keyframe, is in trouble, he rushes off to help her (even though he's a sniper) despite Voice telling him to come back. Voice sighs and counts down before an explosion is heard in the background and Golden is seen flying through the air.

As of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCeOgE4fvvM "Pratically Perfect"]], Mary Sue, a [[ParodySue parody of alicorn OCs]] and Mad Munchkin's roommate, joined the crew as the Announcer. In November 2018, The Abbey Roadie (or simply Abbie) became the crew's Spray-maker (an actual game mechanic where players can "spray" a custom image on a flat surface). In December 2017, Dr. Wolf announced that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlbHTQpXt5w actors had been chosen for the RED Spy and BLU soldier]].
