''The Misadventures of R2 and Miku'' is a series of animated Website/YouTube videos posted by Desert Clockwork Films in TheNewTens. It started with a mushroom-influenced video of two R2 and Miku figures having an argument[[note]]sourced from the Music/{{Mushroomhead}} song "Episode 29", itself sampling the David Lynch series ''Hotel Room''[[/note]], followed by a few meme videos where the two characters act out [[MemeticMutation popular scenes]]. After this, though, the series solidified as a sort of surreal, [[BlackComedy darkly humorous]] sitcom.
R2 and Miku themselves are unsurprisingly the center of the series - the former is forced to put up with the latter's stupidity and tendency towards impulsive behavior, which often gets them involved in a number of surreal situations. Of course, the world around them is equally as chaotic and violence-prone, thus often leading both to get in way over their heads.
----
!!This series contains examples of:
* AmbiguousCloneEnding: "Clones" ends with R2 killing all but one of the Mikus, with the one that's left doubting whether she is in fact a clone or not.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's left ambiguous whether "[[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Miku Myers]]" in "MVP" is just Miku in a costume or actually empowered like Michael. She claims the former while facing a firing squad, but then ends up [[NighInvulnerable getting up after they cease fire nearly unharmed]].
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: A rather odd example, especially from such an irreverent series. "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" (an atypically serious - but still goofy - episode where Miku crosses a line with R2 and ends up having to face her own flaws to get back in his good graces) ends with a completely straight-laced PSA about suicide and donating to non-profits dedicated to helping suicidal people (set to [[Music/TheWall "Goodbye Cruel World"]], no less).
* AnimateInanimateObject: Miku's house's fridge inexplicably comes to life to aid with a bank robbery in "The Chimp".
* AsYouKnow: A variant - in "Appendix", R2 irritably delivers exposition about his parents' death because [[TheDitz Miku]] forgot.
* AuthorAppeal: Various covers from albums the creator likes can be seen framed in the background of Miku's house.
* BigWhat: R2's reaction to Miku describing the sickness that killed her cousin in "Disease".
* BlackComedy: The series runs on this. "R2 and Miku Stuck in a Treehouse" alone has Miku eating a squirrel after going without food for almost a week, followed by her threatening her mother:
--> "If you don't give us food, I'm gonna tell dad [[DomesticAbuse and he's going to hit you again]]!"
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Miku is the [[TheDitz ditzy]] boke to R2's irritated, wiser tsukkomi.
* BrickJoke: Early in "Appendix", Miku claims that if R2 ends up being hurt further at the hospital, they can sue for negligence and become rich. At the very end, when she ends up killing him by accident, her immediate reaction is to cry "We're rich!"
* BuriedAlive: When Miku thinks she's dying in "Disease", her testament includes a demand that anyone who has ever listened to her music (among many other people) be buried alongside her - alive.
* CallBack: After discovering that the titular monkey ruined his roast in "The Chimp", R2 cries "My roast is ruined!" ala "Steamed Hams". (It's made more obvious by a still from the latter video appearing right after he says this.)
* CerebusRollercoaster: "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" is a rare example of this trope applying to a single episode. It starts with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Miku hitting R2 with a chair]], but then quickly changes gears when R2 tells her off and admits he only became her friend out of pity. This leads into a scene where Miku (who is genuinely hurt by this) has a heart-to-heart with her mother that's tinged with BlackComedy (because her mother is [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]], and she's quite reticent to say she loves her daughter), followed by Miku tearfully attempting to make amends with R2 in a completely serious manner. After they reconcile, it switches back to comedy when Miku falls for a trap and ends up getting the two of them killed... before the episode concludes with a deadly-serious PSA about suicide prevention.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: From "R2 and Miku Stuck in a Treehouse", when Miku calls C-3PO for help:
--> '''C-3PO:''' I don't know what all this trouble is about but I'm sure it must be your fault.\\
''[hangs up]''\\
'''Miku:''' She'll be back soon.
* ComfortFood: Miku takes to KFC when she's upset.
* ContinuityNod: Surprisingly frequent for a series so prone to [[SnapBack snapping back]].
** Miku eating a squirrel in "R2 and Miku Stuck in a Treehouse" leads to her getting sick in "Disease".
** "Clones" ends with Miku realizing she's come back from death before, citing her death in the treehouse and murder by the cow from two prior episodes.
** "The Chimp" opens with Miku laying despondently in bed, leading R2 to assume she got sick like in "Disease".
** Upon seeing a depressed Miku in "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair", [=GLaDOS=] asks if she's still sad over Croatia's loss in UsefulNotes/TheWorldCup (as was the case in "The Chimp"). At the end, R2 hears about a "pizza delivery cow" and immediately makes the connection to the one that shot him dead in "Disease"; Miku's failure to connect the dots [[TooDumbToLive ends up proving fatal once more.]]
* CouchGag: Starting with "R2 and Miku Stuck in a Treehouse", every episode opens with a disclaimer accompanied by a random soundbite.
* CreditsGag: Beginning with "MVP", every episode ends with a single credit to a [[VulgarHumor vulgar gag name]] (for example, "Mike Rotch"). The exception is "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair", where the ending is serious enough that the credit is instead for [[DefiedTrope "don't insert gag name in here because suicide is not a joke"]].
* {{Crossover}}: Unsurprisingly, other Music/{{Vocaloid}} and ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters show up often. There are a few other series involved as well, most notably [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]] as Miku's parent.
* CurseCutShort: The psycho Wookie in "Appendix" yells "What the fu--?!" before being trampled by llamas.
* DeusExMachina: Often PlayedForLaughs.
** Rin is somehow able to destroy R2's ship in "MVP".
** Miku manages to stop the psychotic, flamethrower-wielding Wookie in "Appendix" by summoning a horde of llamas to trample him.
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: R2 tells Miku not to touch the cloning machine in their garage in "Clones". Miku does it anyone once he leaves because she never explicitly agreed.
* DropTheCow:
** "R2 and Miku Stuck in a Treehouse" ends with a rapid-fire series of explosions killing the pair - starting with a thermal detonator, followed by other ''Star Wars'' ships like an X-Wing crashing onto the treehouse, and finally concluding with ''[[UpToEleven the Death Star]]'' dropping.
** "Disease" similarly ends with the two being shot to death off-screen by [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a cow wielding a gun]].
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode is essentially a SurrealMusicVideo for Music/{{Mushroomhead}}'s "Episode 29" (with R2 and Miku re-enacting the conversation from the track's opening), unlike the more sitcom-like nature of the rest of the series.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: R2 (as the Predator) attempts this from orbit in "MVP", but Rin thwarts him before he can.
* EsotericHappyEnding: [[invoked]] Done intentionally in "Appendix". R2 ends up dying from Miku's incompetent effort to perform an appendectomy... but she reacts by gleefully stating "[[BrickJoke We're rich!]]".
* EspeciallyZoidberg: From "Disease":
--> '''Miku:''' I want every person, animal and robot that I have ever talked to in my life to be buried with me.\\
'''R2:''' Wait a minute... Does that include me?\\
'''Miku:''' Especially you.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The "Steamed Hams" video sets up the titular pair as a [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine straight man and idiot]], respectively, which carries over into every subsequent episode.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin:
** "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Steamed Hams]] but it's R2-D2 and Hatsune Miku". The script is indeed near-identical to the original episode, down to the two characters still referring to each other as Seymour and Chalmers.
** Subverted with "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair".[[note]]which, incidentally, is also based off of a then-popular ''Simpsons'' meme[[/note]] The first minute or so of the video is dedicated to setting up and showing the events in the title, but the rest of the video deals with the fallout.
* FreezeFrameBonus:
** The "Steamed Hams" episode ends with a split-second appearance of a [ship] (overlaying the fire truck from the original episode).
** "Appendix" only shows the name of the hospital it's set in ([[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace "Sudden Death Hospital"]]) near the end, and only for a fraction of a second before it's blown up.
* FriendshipMoment: "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" ends with R2 taking back Miku and the two making amends.
* GagSeries: Nothing makes much sense in this series, least of all the crossover aspect.
* GilliganCut:
** The treehouse episode has Miku proclaim that C-3PO will be back soon to help them get out of the treehouse they're stuck in, immediately followed by a TimeSkip of several days.
** "Appendix" has R2's lawyer remark that his surgery should be performed by a very competent doctor. Cue Zoidberg showing up, assuming he's to perform a womb transplant.
* GlobalIgnorance: When asked if she knows where Croatia is located, Miku immediately claims it's right next to Uruguay
* HalloweenEpisode: "MVP: Myers Vs Predator", which is themed around horror films and ends with a lampshade being hung on its lack of timeliness:
--> '''Miku:''' I guess we can finally celebrate summertime Halloween!
* IDoNotOwn: From the opening disclaimer:
--> "I don't earn money with this crap, I only do it {{for the lulz}}; that's why I use so much copyrighted content (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone's pockets, it's ok)."
* ImAHumanitarian: [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Zoidberg]] quickly goes to town on the dead Miku corpses in "Clones".
* InMemoriam: "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" ends its suicide PSA with a tribute to Donny Hathaway and [[Music/LinkinPark Chester Bennington]].
* LoopholeAbuse: "Clones" opens with two instances of this - Miku uses the fact that she never explicitly agreed to not touch the cloning machine in her garage to do so, then justifies it to R2 by saying that she only ''went'' in it.
* ManiacMonkeys: "The Chimp"'s titular character causes quite a bit of damage to Miku's house, before holding up a bank in an effort to fund a nebulous scheme.
* MediumAwareness:
** Rin complains that Miku gets more irritating in every video in "MVP".
** "Clones" ends with a RealityBreakingParadox destroying the video's background.
* MoreDakka: "MVP"'s climax ends with Miku getting shot for over ''10 continuous seconds''.
* OneWordTitle: "Disease", "Clones" and "Appendix".
* PaperThinDisguise: The cow from "Disease" is able to fool Miku simply by wearing a hat in its second appearance.
* PetTheDog: At the end of "Disease", when Miku prepares for vacation:
--> '''R2:''' Hat, you failed the eleventh grade!\\
'''Miku:''' ''[sadly]'' ...you mean there will be no vacation?\\
''[lengthy {{beat}}]''\\
'''R2:''' Screw it. Let's go to the beach!
* RayOfHopeEnding: "Clones" is an odd comedic example. Miku ends up destroying the universe through questioning her own existence, leaving her and R2 stuck floating through space; however, R2 resolves to see where they float to next, ending on a relatively positive note. (The music - Music/BobbyDarin's "Beyond the Sea" - helps this.)
* RealityBreakingParadox: "Clones" ends with Miku's contemplation destroying the universe, leaving her and R2 floating through space.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: R2 hits a breaking point in "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" and calls Miku out for her immaturity and stupidity, admitting that he was only her friend out of pity. Miku [[BreakTheCutie does not take it well]].
* ReleasedToElsewhere: From "Clones":
--> '''Miku:''' Where are my clones?\\
'''R2:''' They... they went to buy cigarettes.\\
''[beat]''\\
'''R2:''' [[SubvertedTrope Nah, I'm just kidding. They're dead.]]
* RupturedAppendix: "Appendix" centers around R2 suffering from one.
* SelfDeprecation:
** After Miku begins to question her [[TheyKilledKennyAgain unexplained recovery from death]] in "Clones", R2 tells her to quit thinking about it "because the creator's mind cannot keep up with all that philosophy!"
** "The Chimp" features a ContinuityNod to "Disease", leading R2 to question whether "[Miku] really want[s] to make a sequel for that crappy video?"
* ShoutOut:
** Two episodes involve recreations of scenes from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' that had become memes - [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2122ShortFilmsAboutSpringfield "Steamed Hams]] but it's R2-D2 and Hatsune Miku", and [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E6AMilhouseDivided "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair"]].
** Another instead recreates the equally-famous treehouse scene from ''Series/DrakeAndJosh''. Said episode also involves a time card ripped straight from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.
** Throughout the series, various characters' voices are represented by the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' trombone noise.
** "MVP: Myers Vs Predator" unsurprisingly references ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' heavily (with the title specifically alluding to ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator''). It also ends by playing "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E11HomersTripleBypass Bad Cops]]".
** "Clones" has two in the same scene - R2 manages to convince one Miku to leave the truck she's in by tossing a [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty plumbus]], leading her to hop out with a sound effect from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''.
** A [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]] cameos in the first few seconds of "Appendix".
** Miku's room, as seen in "The Chimp", has both a [[Series/DrakeAndJosh Gamesphere]] and a closet with [[Series/TheWalkingDead "DON'T OPEN DEAD INSIDE"]] written on it. Later in the episode, [[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers Bob Belcher]] cameos inside the bank. What's more, the punchline to the episode is Miku announcing that [[VideoGame/Payday2 she needs a medic bag]] (with that game's audio clips, no less).
** Miku's bathroom has a sign with text reading "RESERVED FOR CREATOR/{{BILLY MAYS}}' AUTOGRAPH".
* SickEpisode: "Disease" centers around Miku staying home with what she thinks is a lethal disease. It's implied she's PlayingSick, as when R2 brings up that school has already ended for the year, she immediately gets off the couch and prepares for vacation.
* SnapBack: Practically every episode ends with the titular pair either dead or left at a disadvantage, which will inevitably be ignored come the next.
* SpotTheImposter: R2 immediately resorts to bringing out a gun to deal with the Miku clones in this fashion in "Clones". (He doesn't end up getting to do it, though.)
* StuffBlowingUp: Occurs occasionally, most notably in the [[DropTheCow abrupt]] ending to the treehouse episode (where no less than ''5'' occur in the span of a few seconds).
* StylisticSuck: Many of the backgrounds are drawn poorly in MS Paint, the animation is generally quite [[LimitedAnimation limited]], and whenever there's actual voice acting it's usually flat and poorly recorded.
* SuperWindowJump: R2's lawyer makes her exit this way in "Appendix".
* SymbolSwearing: Used in the subtitles for "Clones", when R2 gets grievously injured:
--> "Mother %@#&! $#@ sucker! &#@$ face!"
* TakeThat: "MVP: Myers Vs Predator" was made in response to the announcement of ''Film/Halloween2018'' and ''Film/ThePredator'' - the description makes it clear that the author is not particularly keen on the latter. The video itself has several more of these, from R2 reacting to Miku referencing ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' with "Are you seriously quoting that horrible piece [[CurseCutShort of--?!]]" to a few other barbs at ''The Predator'':
--> '''Miku:''' Do you really think a bunch of "Marvel" jokes from [[Creator/ShaneBlack the guy]] who [[Film/IronMan3 ruined Iron Man]] are gonna save [[Franchise/{{Predator}} your franchise?!]]\\
''[later]''\\
'''R2:''' I'll be back, Miku Myers! With an overly expensive sequel that has nothing to do with the previous film!
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Both the titular characters die at some point in several episodes, only to recover in the next with no explanation. One episode ends with Miku [[LampshadeHanging realizing this]] and falling into anxious existentialism, resulting in a RealityBreakingParadox.
* ToiletHumor: "The Chimp" indulges in this, thanks to the title character's penchant for DungFu.
* WidgetSeries: The creator outright admits to using mind-altering substances while making the series, and it shows. (The exception being "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" - which, not coincidentally, is noticeably more serious than the other videos.)
* YouAreGrounded: Miku ineffectively attempts this on her monkey in "The Chimp".
* YouDoNotWantToKnow: Rin's response to Miku asking how she managed to blow up an intergalactic ship in "MVP".
* ZanyScheme: In "Appendix", Miku initially plans to harm R2 (who's in the hospital for a RupturedAppendix) in order to sue the hospital for negligence and get rich.

** "The Chimp" features a ContinuityNod to "Disease", leading R2 to question whether "[Miku] really want[s] to make a sequel for that crappy video?"
* ShoutOut:
** Two episodes involve recreations of scenes from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' that had become memes - [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2122ShortFilmsAboutSpringfield "Steamed Hams]] but it's R2-D2 and Hatsune Miku", and [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E6AMilhouseDivided "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair"]].
** Another instead recreates the equally-famous treehouse scene from ''Series/DrakeAndJosh''. Said episode also involves a time card ripped straight from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.
** Throughout the series, various characters' voices are represented by the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' trombone noise.
** "MVP: Myers Vs Predator" unsurprisingly references ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' heavily (with the title specifically alluding to ''Franchise/AlienVsPredator''). It also ends by playing "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E11HomersTripleBypass Bad Cops]]".
** "Clones" has two in the same scene - R2 manages to convince one Miku to leave the truck she's in by tossing a [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty plumbus]], leading her to hop out with a sound effect from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''.
** A [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]] cameos in the first few seconds of "Appendix".
** Miku's room, as seen in "The Chimp", has both a [[Series/DrakeAndJosh Gamesphere]] and a closet with [[Series/TheWalkingDead "DON'T OPEN DEAD INSIDE"]] written on it. Later in the episode, [[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers Bob Belcher]] cameos inside the bank. What's more, the punchline to the episode is Miku announcing that [[VideoGame/Payday2 she needs a medic bag]] (with that game's audio clips, no less).
** Miku's bathroom has a sign with text reading "RESERVED FOR CREATOR/{{BILLY MAYS}}' AUTOGRAPH".
* SickEpisode: "Disease" centers around Miku staying home with what she thinks is a lethal disease. It's implied she's PlayingSick, as when R2 brings up that school has already ended for the year, she immediately gets off the couch and prepares for vacation.
* SnapBack: Practically every episode ends with the titular pair either dead or left at a disadvantage, which will inevitably be ignored come the next.
* SpotTheImposter: R2 immediately resorts to bringing out a gun to deal with the Miku clones in this fashion in "Clones". (He doesn't end up getting to do it, though.)
* StuffBlowingUp: Occurs occasionally, most notably in the [[DropTheCow abrupt]] ending to the treehouse episode (where no less than ''5'' occur in the span of a few seconds).
* StylisticSuck: Many of the backgrounds are drawn poorly in MS Paint, the animation is generally quite [[LimitedAnimation limited]], and whenever there's actual voice acting it's usually flat and poorly recorded.
* SuperWindowJump: R2's lawyer makes her exit this way in "Appendix".
* SymbolSwearing: Used in the subtitles for "Clones", when R2 gets grievously injured:
--> "Mother %@#&! $#@ sucker! &#@$ face!"
* TakeThat: "MVP: Myers Vs Predator" was made in response to the announcement of ''Film/Halloween2018'' and ''Film/ThePredator'' - the description makes it clear that the author is not particularly keen on the latter. The video itself has several more of these, from R2 reacting to Miku referencing ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' with "Are you seriously quoting that horrible piece [[CurseCutShort of--?!]]" to a few other barbs at ''The Predator'':
--> '''Miku:''' Do you really think a bunch of "Marvel" jokes from [[Creator/ShaneBlack the guy]] who [[Film/IronMan3 ruined Iron Man]] are gonna save [[Franchise/{{Predator}} your franchise?!]]\\
''[later]''\\
'''R2:''' I'll be back, Miku Myers! With an overly expensive sequel that has nothing to do with the previous film!
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Both the titular characters die at some point in several episodes, only to recover in the next with no explanation. One episode ends with Miku [[LampshadeHanging realizing this]] and falling into anxious existentialism, resulting in a RealityBreakingParadox.
* ToiletHumor: "The Chimp" indulges in this, thanks to the title character's penchant for DungFu.
* WidgetSeries: The creator outright admits to using mind-altering substances while making the series, and it shows. (The exception being "Miku Hits R2 with a Chair" - which, not coincidentally, is noticeably more serious than the other videos.)
* YouAreGrounded: Miku ineffectively attempts this on her monkey in "The Chimp".
* YouDoNotWantToKnow: Rin's response to Miku asking how she managed to blow up an intergalactic ship in "MVP".
* ZanyScheme: In "Appendix", Miku initially plans to harm R2 (who's in the hospital for a RupturedAppendix) in order to sue the hospital for negligence and get rich.
