* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Beluga sometimes uses an offending person's strategies against them:
** Beter constantly preaches and implores Beluga to use Discord's Light Mode, and Beluga [[spoiler:uses his tactic to get him to try the laptop-destroying Yellow Mode]].
** [=RoboKiller=] constantly puts Beluga through huge amounts of anti-Bot tests, and Beluga fails all of them. Beluga then gives [=RoboKiller=] his own anti-Bot test, which [[spoiler:turns out to be a hidden Rick Roll. This of course, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome immediately gets Beluga booted]]]].

'''[[https://www.youtube.com/c/Beluga1/featured Beluga]]''' is an American Website/YouTube channel primarily centred around Discord-themed video skits. It is the younger sister channel of '''Explore Lucid Dreaming''', ran by the same creator, which centres around [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exploration of lucid dreaming states, as the name indicates]]. With its rapid growth in popularity, Beluga has seemingly become a MorePopularSpinOff to Explore Lucid Dreaming.

Taking place almost entirely within the Discord app, most Beluga videos feature no audible dialogue as the characters only communicate through onscreen text. The main ongoing series stars the naïve, cat-avatar'd titular protagonist navigating his way through Discord servers, finding innovative ways to irritate and undermine the moderators as he goes. HilarityEnsues. The series has accumulated a memorable cast of recurring characters based on stereotypical Discord users who [[ADayInTheLimelight occasionally take centre stage in their own sketches]]. These include:

* Pablo: The tyrannical, double-bearded server owner of Pablo's Pub.
* Lester: The morbidly obese server owner of Lester's Minivan who refuses to ban people for any reason.
* Ralph: An officious, egotistical admin.
* Eugene: An egg-headed mod with no sense of humour.
* Beter: A mod who resembles [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] (or the famous Peter cosplayer, Robert Franzese) and preaches the unholy gospel of Discord Light Mode.
* Pablo Jr.: Pablo's neurotic son who gets promoted to mod position through nepotism.
* Hecker: A hacker with a meaner-looking cat avatar than Beluga who seems to have unlimited HollywoodHacking abilities.
* Skittle: Beluga's friend who [[DisguisedInDrag frequently disguises himself as a female alter-ego, Skittle-chan, to trick the mods into compliance.]]
* Becky: A stereotypical clueless Website/{{Facebook}} mom with a fondness for unfunny [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe Minion]] memes who somehow stumbles onto Discord, but quickly turns out to be more than she seems...
* Sbeve: An argumentative Flat-Earther.
* [=RoboKiller=]: A sentient bot in Despacito Fortnite Club who puts Beluga through a very rigorous Captcha test.
* Beluwuga: Beluga's own alternate female persona, usually unleashed as a last resort against the mods.

----
!!''Beluga'' contains examples of:
* BadassBeard: SubvertedTrope with Pablo, whose strange beard style is frequently mocked by Beluga. Pablo still acts like a tough guy, nevertheless.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite being a complete idiot, Hecker's mad HollywoodHacking skills are highly sought after.
** [[spoiler:Eugene pays the price for underestimating Becky, as it turns out she's an online VigilanteMan able to easily uncover his home address through a hidden IP tracker file in one of her Minion memes.]]
* CatchPhrase: Most characters have one.
** Beluga's calling card is spamming "E" in the general chat when things go south.
** Lester calls everyone "sweetie".
** Pablo calls everyone "sussy boy".
* TheComicallySerious: Most of the admins and moderators take their roles way, way too seriously. Pablo bans anyone foolish enough to post a meme in the General chat.
* DisguisedInDrag: The most effective ploy used by Beluga and Skittle is to simply change their names and avatars to feminine alter-egos, which is treated as a HolyHandGrenade as it immediately makes the mods powerless.
* {{Foil}}: In contrast to the ban-happy Pablo, Lester doesn't believe in banning anyone for any reason and instead traps everyone in his server indefinitely. Beluga, naturally, sees it as a challenge to annoy Lester enough into breaking that vow.

* ScareChord: The arrival of the mods in a discussion is usually accompanied by a low, ominous "dunnnn" sound effect.
* WildCard: Hecker can be a help or hindrance to Beluga at the flip of a coin. Although, even when he tries to do good, the results are usually less than desirable.
