* GameShowHost: P.A.B is the official host of ''Vortexes & Velvets'' while the unofficial ones would be their siblings who tried to usurp the role from them by hijacking the show, sending them away and forcing their contestants to whatever whims or demands for challenges. It doesn't last long since P.A.B would find a way to return before the voting and their siblings would [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere hightail to whatever dimension they came from]].

* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Blendy, Keytar, Kite and Rhomb were dragged into the game in the second episode as unwilling, last-minute replacements for the four contestants who [[WhateverHappenedToTheMouse mysteriously disappear]].

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: Bell, Gauze, Peach and Typewriter just straight-up vanished when the second episode came around and was replaced with Blendy, Keytar, Kite and Rhomb. When the contestants question the change as well as the newbies who were angry over being abducted to be replacements, P.A.B has no idea what happened and simply shrugs the incident off. It turns out the missing four were in a cavernous pit of god-knows-where as Nev wrote them out of the show this way.
* {{Yandere}}: In spite of the V&V crew insisting he's just "love-sick", Blendy is a prime example of the trope: being overly possessive for Kite (Despite IncompatibleOrientation and he ''knows'' it), his eyes becoming crosses whenever he becomes violent and threatened to harm her once he realised she tricked him.

* AnimateInanimateObject: No matter what dimension the cast is in, they and the world's population are walking, talking sentient objects.



* DimensionalTraveler: P.A.B can hop from one dimension to another with his abilities or use a special machine to transport the contestants for his interdimensional gameshow whether they like it or not. This also means he can leave eliminated contestants behind in the previous dimension as a penalty for losing but promises to pick them up and go back home once the competition is officially over.

Added DiffLines:

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Blendy has an unrequited and very much unwanted crush on Kite. [[ManipulativeBitch Manipulations]] from the latter and {{Yandere}} tendencies from the former aside, Kite is a [[IncompatibleOrientation lesbian]] according to WordOfGay meaning this Blendy's chance for a relationship with her was doomed from the start.


Added DiffLines:

* ALizardnamedLiz: Blendy and Yelley have the honor of their name being a mashup of their [[ADogNamedDog species]] (A blender and the cour yellow respectively) and the "-y" suffix.
* {{Cyclops}}: Gatsby has only one visible glowing eye so does Molokh whose face is on the one-sided die with the dot acting as the eye while the rest of the cast have peripheral vision.
* GameShowHost: P.A.B is the official host of ''Vortexes & Velvets'' while the unofficial ones would be their siblings who tried to usurp the role from them by hijacking the show, sending them away and forcing their contestants to whatever whims or demands for challenges. It doesn't last long since P.A.B would find a way to return before the voting and their siblings would [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere hightail to whatever dimension they came from]].


Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: Gatsby's name is after Francis Scott Fitzgerald's ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'' for his flamboyant and prideful character.
* MyNaymeIs: Molokh's name is spelled with a "k" instead of a "c" like how it's usually spelled in biblical mythology.


Added DiffLines:

* ThirdPersonPerson: Yelley refers to himself in the third person for no reason other than to highlight his off-putting and eccentric personality.

The {{Pilot}} was uploaded to Nev's [=YouTube=] channel on 28th January 2020 under the WorkingTitle ''Visual Void'' before the first episode was released exactly a year later.

Twenty [[AnimateInanimateObject objects]] unwillingly find themselves transcending through time and space as P.A.B abducted them as the contestants of their interdimensional gameshow ''Vortexes & Velvets''[[note]]The first part makes sense but [[WordSaladTitle what the show has to do with velvet is anyone's guess]][[/note]] whether they want to or not.

Due to Nev leaving for military service, they entrust writer Creator/AndyDuthie to take over as the showrunner from episode nine onwards.

All the episodes can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMvIkvym-d4lvh_TJ_vjUGKVodv2NPWcw here]].

!!Contains the following tropes:
* ADogNamedDog: Across all dimensions, what remains constant is naming conventions of objects being named after their species as seen for the contestants. P.A.B and his family advert this.
* AlliterativeName: '''V'''ortexes & '''V'''elvets
* HostileShowTakeover: Starting from "Latibule.", P.A.B's extended family constantly hijacks V&V for their own amusement and to annoy their sibling to no end.
** Gatsby turns P.A.B into a PeoplePuppet and makes some of the contestants perform a play to please the king and queen of the dimension using voodoo dolls of themselves while the others do meaningless errands.
** Molokh sends P.A.B back to earth right after the finale of ''WebAnimation/BattleForATrillionDollars'' and challenges the contestants to a real-life game of chutes and ladders.
* NonGameplayElimination: Fed-up with Kite's manipulative ploys and drama-stirring, P.A.B opts to eliminate her in "Knock Knock" alongside Blendy after her latest stunt tricked the latter into getting the most votes and the confrontation that followed. They then abandon them both in the latest dimension and Kite has to deal with a furiously aggravated {{Yandere}} Blendy (Though they both got turned into PeoplePuppets by Gatsby before anything ugly could happen).
* TokenMinority: Disco Ball is the only [[ArmlessBiped armless object]] of the entire cast.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Blendy, Keytar, Kite and Rhomb were dragged into the game in the second episode as unwilling, last-minute replacements for the four contestants who [[WhateverHappenedToTheMouse mysteriously disappear]].
* ShoutOut: All the episodes from the {{Pilot}} onwards are titled after a {{Vaporwave}} song.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: Bell, Gauze, Peach and Typewriter just straight-up vanished when the second episode came around and was replaced with Blendy, Keytar, Kite and Rhomb. When the contestants question the change as well as the newbies who were angry over being abducted to be replacements, P.A.B has no idea what happened and simply shrugs the incident off.
