History WebVideo / CaptainSouthbird

* GameBreakingBug: Well, more like "game breaking mod," but the game crashes a couple times in the first episode, and softlocks on occasion later on.

* AntiClimax: Towards the end of the second episode, a relative of the gang from the first episode shows up seeking revenge...and is not only promptly ignored, but is instantly eradicated by Karkinos, part of the Protectorate hiring The Varmints.

* DramatisPersonae: Whenever a character is introduced in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0mCbWbVA_Q Meet the Varmints]]", there's a subtitle displaying their name and profession. This continues into later introductions in the series, such as important Protectorate members.

* {{Polyamory}}: Santa makes multiple references to an [[TheGhost unseen]] boyfriend, even after getting together with and dating Pink Shark. It's unclear whether this is an example of polyamory or YourCheatingHeart, though the fact that Santa is so open about it implies the former.

* ContinuityNod: There are references made to Phédria and Itzam of the two-person series, with Sharpie referring to Ph&e as her honorary cousin. WordOfGod states that "The Varmints" exist in the same continuity as them.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Southbird's character in "The Varmints" is miss Esta Rho of the Kirhos, a race of intelligent rodents, rather than a bird/Pokemon Trainer/robot.
* DramatisPersonae: Whenever a character is introduced in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0mCbWbVA_Q Meet the Varmints]]", there's a subtitle displaying their name and profession.
* ExcusePlot: Rather than follow the plotline of a set game or mod, such as in the ''Starbound'' videos with just Teckworks, this series focus more on the interactions between the players with the game as just the backdrop.

* RobotSoldier: Custos-CXI is a sentient combat droid Sharpie rented to keep the ship safe.

** There are also references made to Phédria and Itzam of the two-person series, with WordOfGod stating that "The Varmints" exist in the same continuity as them.

* ArtifactTitle: The ''Beast Intersection'' title, which was first used in the wholly text-obfuscation-based Part 2 ("Bella Aqueous"), then later used for other ''Animal Crossing'' videos and retroactively given to the "Animal Crashing" video, originally referred to the text obfuscation used in the video and not the video itself. The name is an intentional mistranslation of ''Animal Crossing''[='=]s title, akin to how ''Kronos Trigger'' does the same thing to the script and title of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', and would later influence the titles of Southbird's other text-hacking series. Southbird refers to his mistranslated-sounding titles as "the Tsarist names" in the commentary he and Teckworks did for the first ten ''Beast Intersection'' videos' compilation.

* ProductionThrowback: When the initial tour of their ship reaches the Armory, there's a mannekin dressed just like Venus from the ''Terraria: Calamity'' series, as well as one that looks like Southbird's usual robotic bird persona. [[SelfDeprecation They state the latter looks "pretty hideous"]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: "The Varmints" has the most characters of any gaming series on Southbird's channel such far. The list of just the players consists of Esta Rho (Southbird), Sharpie (Teckworks), Hotspot, Shade Hatmann, Alec Renard, Grey, Kujo, Custos-CXI, and Jello (Jello Fox). There are also two NPC members of the crew: an unnamed bartender and Mint the Nurse/Silent Gunman.

* TheLancer: Sharpie is introduced as Esta's Business Partner, and the Talent Manager responsible for hiring the current crew.

* LivingHat: Shade Hatmann, as the name implies, is a sentient hat in control of a shadowy humanoid body.

* RunningGag: The words "(annoyed kirhos noises)" pop up repeatedly in the "Meet the Varmints" episode, as ship captain Esta Rho the Kirhos deals with little frustrations like a door repeatedly closing in their face, or chairs and speakers that don't actually function as more than decoration.

** Whitney refers to bird as "cheeky beaky" in ''Canislupus''.

* AccidentalPun: In "Squirrelly Jealousy", Chief rants that car alarms have cried wolf too many times to be taken seriously, and how nobody cared when his dad's car alarm went off in a parking lot when his dad was locked out of his car. Since Chief is a wolf, Southbird can't help but chuckle at his use of the phrase "cry wolf".

* AccidentalPun: In "Squirrelly Jealousy", Chief comments that car alarms have cried wolf too many times to be taken seriously. Since Chief is a wolf, Southbird can't help but chuckle at his use of the phrase "cry wolf".

** ''Canislupus'' doesn't feature models edited to the same extent as the previous season, ''Birdston'', but Bella, Chief, and Coco have had the same edits made to their models as in the latter half of the ''Kaostown'' season, Audie's sunglasses have been removed to make her more closely resemble Freya, and Raymond, or Ray as he's known as in this series, has a scar under his left eye due to this series giving him the status of a [[HardboiledDetective hardboiled police detective]] who works on cases involving violent crime.

* HardboiledDetective: In "Canislupus", Raymond (or just Ray here). It's not totally clear if he's here to protect Bird or investigate him for his role in the Freya incident (and the [[spoiler:murder of Phoebe]]), but he's very serious about his job, he's keeping an eye on Audie, and Bob becomes visibly disturbed when asked if he knows Ray before admitting that he does. To add to his hardboiled nature, particularly the fact that his line of work features cases involving violent crime, Southbird edited his model to add a scar under his left eye.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMFv2HcEaYn2aWZHsFSSAm5k1vRCPCgGZ Beast Intersection]]:'' ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' with various forms of obfuscation and replacement applied, focusing on the misadventures of Mayor Bird and his townsfolk. Contains a lot of cartoon animals saying dirty things. Currently has four "seasons": ''Beast Intersection: Kaostown'' uses ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewLeaf New Leaf]]'' as a base and concluded with ten episodes, ''Beast Intersection: Wolfburg'' uses ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossingCityFolk City Folk]]'' as a base and concluded with ten episodes, ''Beast Intersection: Birdston'' uses a more modified ''New Leaf'' as a base and concluded with ten episodes, plus a 30-minute special uploaded in late December 2019, and ''Beast Intersection: Canislupus'' uses ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons New Horizons]]'' as a base and is currently ongoing.

* WordSaladTitle: In the [[TheStinger post-episode]] gag reels for the ''Canislupus'' season, Southbird often has Marshal say he's watching fictional anime with titles pulled from a random title generator. Said titles are intended to sound nonsensical, as noted in a caption shown onscreen the first time this joke is used.

** Raihan rambles incoherently before his match with Birdette in ''Damascus Blade'' Part 5, first saying she has a nice tuxedo despite her wearing a Pokémon League jersey (which baffles Southbird), then saying other random things.

* InherentlyFunnyWords: In ''Damascus Blade'' Part 2, Southbird finds himself saying the name of "Blax" (Timburr) repeatedly after finding its name amusing. After "Blax" evolves and Gurdurr's name turns out to be "Maw", he continues to joke about its name.

** In Part 3 of ''Damascus Blade'', Southbird refers to "Jumerp" (Inteleon) as "the skinny boy" during the battle with Opal.

For Southbird's work on Vinesauce-related projects, see the pages for ''WebVideo/VinesauceTomodachiLife'', ''WebVideo/VinesauceMiitopia'', and ''WebVideo/MayorVine''. Southbird also made the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' ROM hack ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3Mix'' and made highlight videos for Vinny's streams of it. Southbird's pre-2020 original ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' videos are covered on the Vinesauce ''Tomodachi Life'' pages; everything after "Metadachi Life", such as the GPT-2 vidoes, are covered here.

** In the "Birthday Minisode!" of ''Canislupus'', one of Bird's birthday wishes is signed by someone named Mandelbaum, who never appears at any point in the series.

* EruditeStoner: Southbird edits Chief's eyes to look like he's under the influence and villagers call him high in-game, though he occasionally has intelligent things to say in addition to rambling nonsensically. After he starts dating Coco, he claims the two have the ultimate goal of eliminating sobriety from the world, and Southbird believes him. Southbird and Teckworks don't elaborate on what he's on in the commentary for the ''[=KaosTown=]'' Part 1-10 compilation (though it's implied to be marijuana in ''Canislupus''), but Teckworks jokes about him being high on life after Southbird comments on his occasional words of wisdom. He's introduced as "the rambling, derailed-thought-train wolf" in the description for his ''[=KaosTown=]'' debut episode ("Peer Pressure"), but Southbird changes his text to make him ''over''think things instead in the ''Wolfburg'' episodes.
