!!These are tropes! Anyone can add them, but [[SquarePegRoundTrope not many people do it right.]]

** ''Tumblr'' mocks {{fandom}}, night bloggers who post FlameBait, people who [[WindmillCrusader reblog important causes without seeing if said causes are real or not]], and ''especially'' social justice warriors.

Jello has decided to end the series after ''Webcomics'', in order to focus on his other projects like ''WebAnimation/SoThisIsBasically'', though he has stated that he'd still do the occasional "Welcome to YouTube Comments!" compilation video.

** The main website for the comics is down but you can currently read it on facebook https://www.facebook.com/655403081242642/photos/?tab=album&album_id=665031626946454 {after you find page 1 you can hit the back arrow to scroll through them instead of opening each individually}

Jello has decided to end the series after ''Webcomics'', in order to focus on his other projects like ''So This Is Basically...'', though he has stated that he'd still do the occasional "Welcome to YouTube Comments!" compilation video.

* ''Welcome to Vine!'' (April Fools' Day 2014)

''[[SelfDemonstratingArticle Welcome to]] Wiki/TVTropes! Now that you're a troper, it's time to learn the ins and outs of the site!''

* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Mocked several times in ''Tumblr''. Most notable is an otherkin griping at the narrator when he says "every human" when she's so "clearly" a wolf in a human's body.[[note]] Note that this only used to show that stuck-up people will go out of their way to be offended by the smallest things rather than to insult people who identify as them.[[/note]]

** Ally's boss can't decide which of his four male secretaries is [[SdrawkcabName Mr. Noitcerid Eno]] because "all of them was [his] boyfriend." Later, the members of {{Music/OneDirection}} start kissing and touching each other's butts ([[SelfInsertFic but they still like Ally the best]]).

*** The narration, clearly supposed to be a guide written by a fanfic author, has ''tons'' of clearly intentional examples. One of the first things in the videos is this joke "Let's start with the basics. Because where else would we start, the acidics? AUTHOR'S NOTE: That was a chemistry joke!" [[note]] In case you missed it, it's supposed to be ''bases'' and acids, not basics.[[/note]] Mistakes Like that are peppered throughout the "guide".

** ''Webcomics'' has some noticeable ones.

*** And then there is the one in the AuthorFilibuster section.

* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Mocked several times in ''Tumblr''. Most notable is the "otherkin" portion, using it mostly as an example of people who are stuck up or offended about subject matters that mostly don't affect them in anyway, such as an otherkin griping at the narrator when he says "every human" when she's so "clearly" a wolf in a human's body.[[note]] Once again, mostly pointing out that people are stuck up and will go out of their way to be offended, the otherkin being an example appears to be simply out of convince rather than malice towards people who identify them.[[/note]]

* TakeThatAudience: The "Welcome To Youtube Comments" videos has various Youtubers read off the comments from his videos and just riff on how stupid many of them are. Some comments speak for themselves, but others have other commenters totally wreck them in response.

* WhoWritesThisCrap: A common reaction from the Youtubers who read the comments from his videos in his Welcome To Comments videos.

-->And if you're lucky, you'll catch up just in time to find the artist abandoned this project years ago and literally stopped drawing it in the hallway to the FINAL BOSS [[{{Angrish}} ARGGGHH]]! ... Eleven years later and I'm still still mad. Lets see what this guy's been up too, anyway. Whaaat? Oh look at that, he was the art director for ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. You know what? Good for him. I-It's really good seeing someone put in the time and making their way into the industry today and '''FINISH YOUR FUCKING WEBCOMIC'''!

-->'''Bard''': Hark! a save point. How funny it is that I point that out in-universe.

* FanService: Most of the [[Music/OneDirection One Direction]] story. Specifically, Niall is topless and Zayn is wearing a suit and has a rose in his teeth. Also, some of the thumbnails contain FanService in a way.

** In the ''Welcome to [=FanfictionDotNet=]'' video, the narrator gets outraged with some rude criticism of his fan-fiction, reading it shows it's actually pretty tactful.
* FunTShirt: Subverted in the ''Welcome to Fanfiction.net'' creepypasta: in a lazy attempt to depict cool college students, the art shows the two roommates in the story wearing shirts that say "COOL." In the twist ending [[spoiler:you are a skeleton also wearing the "COOL" t-shirt.]]

* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: Mocked several times in ''Tumblr''. Most notable is the "otherkin" portion, using it mostly as an example of people who are stuck up or offended about subject matters that mostly don't affect them in anyway, such as an otherkin griping at the narrator when he says "every human" when she is so "clearly" a wolf in a human's body.[[note]] Once again, mostly pointing out that people are stuck up and will go out of their way to be offended, the otherkin being an example appears to be simply out of convince rather than malice towards people who identify them.[[/note]]

*** [[{{Characters/Vocaloid}} Kaito]] makes his friends bento ''boxes'' for dinner. Marissa-chan comments that they are "watashi's favorite!"

* {{Hermaphrodite}}: A peg in ''Tumblr'' tries to claim to be this by [[PaperThinDisguise slapping a picture of a vagina over his crotch]]. The narrator tells him that the term is racist ([[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad somehow]]), telling him to call himself "vagin-abled" instead.

*** In the same video, the narrator mocks the idea of reminding people to like and subscribe in videos. As he says this, a scene with a "Like" and "Subscribe" button (the latter links to Jelloapocalypse's channel page) appears, and the buttons are emphasized while a peg representing the narrator attempts to casually drink water and drag the scene out.

* InherentlyFunnyWords: Duck Fayce's "QUACK!" in the Facebook video gets funnier every time. Especially because it's an adult man's voice attached to a 13-year-old girl.

** ''Twitter'' does not explain/mock the site or the users (apart from a comment near the end), mostly just being a slideshow of illustrations for the tweets Jello made around the time.

** The propeller peg whom the narrators try to guide in ''Welcome to Tumblr'' can also be seen in ''Welcome to Youtube'' in the section about comments, saying "I like your ghost costume" [[TheKlan to a KKK member]] and in ''Welcome to Twitter'' selling [[{{VideoGame/Portal2}} lemon grenades]] and later pointing to a sales graph. He's also in Mrs. Preecay's Pre-K class and finds naked pictures of George Costanza while hunting for Easter eggs.

** Several commenters interrupt the narrator in ''Youtube'' with the phrase "like if _____" before they are cussed out.

** Scary Ostrich Man cautions against using an AuthorAvatar name too similar to your own, lest Nathan from school figure out it's a self-insert.

*** The narration, clearly supposed to be a guide written by a fanfic author, has TONS of clearly intentional examples.

[[note]] In case you missed it, it's supposed to be ''bases'' and acids, not basics.[[/note]] Mistakes Like that are peppered throughout the "guide".

*** Her favorite books are the Bible and [[Music/TheJonasBrothers "Jonas Brothers."]] Activities she has liked include "breathing," and her workplace is listed as the [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Krusty Krab]].
*** She attributes a famous Marilyn Monroe quote to Marilyn Manson.

-->I'm not gay... but I might be gay.

** Through the whole series, many, MANY potshots are taken at the very concept of "micro-blogging".

** ''Tumblr'' mocks {{fandom}}, night bloggers who post {{flame bait}}, people who reblog important causes without seeing if said causes are real or not, and ''especially'' social justice warriors.

*** Specifically, a ''lot'' of mocking is directed at ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' and its infamously controversial Kickstarter campaign and development. There's also a minor jab at people shoehorning [[VideoGame/ShovelKnight Shovel Knight]] into their kickstarted games, and a more joking one at the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' video game Kickstarter.

* TwistEnding: Parodied at the end of the "Creepypasta" fic in ''Fanfiction.net''. The twist: [[spoiler: YOU were the main characters (both of them), so you became a skeleton. [[MindScrew Then you wrote the fanfic you just read]].]]

'''Boob-Have Gamer''': I AM HERE ALSO AND I HAVE '''BOOBS'''
* UnreliableNarrator: In the ''Fanfiction.net'' creepypasta the author claims to live alone at first but suddenly acquires a roommate halfway through, who then changes genders as the author forgets again. He also explains that Etsy is just "hipster eBay" and refers to his Gameboy Advance as a Playstation. The roommates are able to load up the game while seemingly forgetting the author just broke it in half.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The protagonist of the "Creepypasta" story in ''Fanfiction.net'' acts pretty casually to seeing several warning signs that his game is not right. Likely a mockery on the many creepypastas that could've been avoided had people stopped being ignorant earlier.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ally mentions her best friend Samanther is also in the office in the [[Music/OneDirection One Direction]] story, but after that she is never referred to again.

* FreezeFrameBonus: All the videos have this somewhere or other, but ''Twitter'' is filled with them.

* BaitAndSwitchComment: A common thing Jello does in his videos, though ''Webcomics'' has some noticeable ones.
-->If you refuse to wait for your art to evolve naturally, just keep remaking the first four pages for your comic over and over again until you finally realize your parents were right.\\
Hang on now, are you thinking of ''giving up?!'' That's GREAT!
** And then there is the one in the AuthorFilibuster section.

* SuddenlyShouting: Occasionally in the videos.
** ''Webcomics'' a few times.

* BetterThaABareBulb: ''Webcomics'' brings up the tendency of game-based comics to rely on this.

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: ''Tumblr'' recommends you upload videos to [=YouTube=], Dailymotion, or X-Videos instead of Tumblr itself.

* DontLikeDontRead: Used jokingly in ''Fanfiction.net'''s opening to deter "haters" in the comments, and again in the "Self-Insert Yaoi" fanfic example for a "Yaoi Warning".

'''Blonde Gamer''': I'm the straight-laced cynical one.\\

** One comment featured in ''[=YouTube=] Comments'' is simply "poop poop", and it's made by a "90sKid1998". The humor comes from William T. Sopp (the reader for that comment) completely collapsing with laughter at the absurdity of it.

** In the Kickstarter video, the narrator mocks users who use the site to ask viewers to fund their games and products. By the end of the video, the narrator asks fans to help fund [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/michaelalaws/seduce-me-2-the-demon-war Seduce Me 2: The Demon War]], a game he's staring in. Ironically, the game did get funded.

* NoYay: In the ''Youtube Comments'' video, one of the commenters suggests shipping Jello with pLasterbrain. Jello responds not to since they're siblings. [[invoked]]

* ''Welcome to [[WebComic Webcomics]]!''

* SeriesHiatus: The term "[[YouKeepUsingThatWord hiatus]]" is brought up in ''Webcomics'' as meaning "an extended period of laziness".

The videos include:

* BitingTheHandHumor: Welcome to Youtube takes the piss out of the website that hosts Jelloapocalypse's videos.

* FunWithAcronyms: ''Facebook'' has the titular program: '''W'''elcome '''T'''o '''F'''acebook.
* [[FunWithHomophones Fun With Hormones]]: "Theirs know too wheys a bout it."

* SdrawkcabName: The "Wattpad" story example in ''Fanfiction.net'' uses "Mr. Noitcerid Eno" as a "code-name" for ''Music/OneDirection''.
