History WebVideo / DanganronpaParody

** Yoko's stutter.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Possibly the series' biggest RunningGag besides ContractualGenreBlindness, though it can be hard to tell at times whether it's being done [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally]] or [[MaliciousMisnaming maliciously]]. By the last episode, Kyoko is by-far the most frequent victim due to Makoto [[TakingTheHeat still being angry about her nearly killing him]] and giving her names that get further and further from her actual name [[note]]Counting Byakuya's contributions, these include Kyoto Peri Peri, Music/KatyPerry, [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Yukiko]], Bobo, Tokyo, {{Pinocchio}}, Sebco, LightNovel/{{Baccano}} and Coco[[/note]]. Not even the BigBad is immune, and as Makoto is roll-calling everyone to break them out of their DespairEventHorizon, Hina is the only one he calls by her correct name.

* AnswerCut: Episode 3

* BatDeduction: Makoto corners the second trial's killer this way.
-->'''Kyoko''': So Makoto, do you finally see the significance of what I just showed you?
-->'''Makoto''': Yeah. The image of Chihiro's torpedo has been burned into my mind. [[DelinquentHair Wait, that's it!]] Mondo! I choose you!
** Kyoko actually did the same before in the chapter.
-->'''Kyoko''': Sorry, I'm late. What did I miss? ''(takes a look at Chihiro's corpse)'' Gotcha. Already know who did it. See ya.

* BerserkButton: Makoto can't stand the Narrator constantly forcing him to learn new gameplay mechanics, and in turn Makoto's status as an IdiotHero pisses the Narrator off to no end.

* BlackComedy

** Celestia gives several during the third case.

-->'''Kyoko''': Hina. Thank you! You've taught me what it means to be a true friend. Unlike... SOMEONE I KNOW!

** It should be noted that [[JustAMachine she didn't actually care about Alter Ego]] [[{{Jerkass}} and just wanted an excuse to be mean to Makoto]].

* TheCameo: Herbert from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' makes an appearance in episode 2 when Makoto tries to accuse him as the culprit.

* ColorMotif: One of Kyoko's [[RunningGag Running Gags]].
-->'''Narrator''': ''Totally freaked out by the {{Goth}} chick, Makoto turned to the weird girl with purple hair, purple skin, purple eyes and wearing nothing but purple''.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint

* CloudCuckooLander: Yasuhiro, as expected. Everyone else has their moments too.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Asahina's small vocabulary is a running gag of episode 4.
-->'''Asahina''': OMG MAKOTO! You're like the beast president: 'Beast-Beast' of Beast-Beastia!
-->'''Byakuya''': [[DeadpanSnarker Could you maybe say that again without the seizure?]]

-->[half-asleep] "Huh? Who's there? Oh, it's you. Just an ordinary scary killer who's gonna kill me.
* TheDitz: Many.
* DoubleEntendre: Kyoko doesn't seem to notice them.
-->'''Kyoko''': Now that we're friends again, I thought we'd give the boy's bathroom another try.
-->'''Makoto''': You ''really'' need to think more about what you're saying before you say it.
-->'''Kyoko''': Makoto! Stop being so immature! [[AccidentalInnuendo Now stuff Chihiro down your pants and take her in the shitter]].
-->'''Makoto''': I seriously don't know why I hang out with you.

* TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay

* EmotionlessGirl: While this trait of Kyoko's is brought up frequently, her capacity for sarcasm, goofy behavior, and occasional outbursts make this one of the more emotive incarnations of her.

-->'''Junko''': Now I'm back to being a nonchalant robot. I have many forms.
-->'''Narrator''': Hey Kyoko. Looks like we've found someone who's even more emotionless than you are!
-->'''Kyoko''': [{{Beat}}] I don't like her! [[note]][[TalkingToHimself it should be pointed out that both girls have the same voice actress here.]][[/note]]

* FigureItOutYourself: Kyoko's shtick.
-->[''After the Narrator explains the rules''] Makoto, did you get all of that? Because despite having solved this case myself, you're going to have to do all the work on your own, because I'm mysterious like that."

-->'''Kyoko''': Hmm, this is going to be a really challenging one, so I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to help you out this time.
-->'''Makoto''': This time? When did you even help me out the first time?
** He gets his revenge in the final case.

* FreakOut: Celestia requires far less provocation to reach this point during her trial than in the original game.

-->"Huh? [[ThisCannotBe But.. but that's impossible!]] [[PoorCommunicationKills I'm supposed to be the one who knows everything and keeps everyone else in the dark!]] [[BigNo Nooooooooooo!]]"

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The game over condition is brought up by Monokuma in this fashion.
-->"Nuahahaha! Time's up! Time for you all to vote! Ooooo! And you all voted for Makoto. Adding in there that the only reason you voted for him is because he's a COMPLETE IDIOT! That's amazing considering that two other students knew who the killer was, and ''still'' voted for Makoto!"

* GenreBlindness: Sometimes when Makoto [[CaptainObviousReveal takes too long to reach an obvious conclusion]], the screen will flash some variation of "[[SarcasmMode MAKOTO'S A GENIUS]]" when he finally gets it.

-->'''Narrator''': ''At Hope's Peak...''
-->'''Makoto''': Wow, this is cool. I sure hope I don't pass out from all the excitement. [''after passing out and ending up in an empty classroom''] Wow, this is lame.
** Later on there's this:
-->'''Byakuya''': Whatever. Go away. I never want to speak to you, nor will I ever need your help with anything!
-->'''Narrator''': ''The Next Day''
-->'''Hina''': A dead body's been found! Chihiro's dead!
-->'''Byakuya''': Makoto, come here! I want to speak to you and I need your help with something.\\

-->'''Asahina''': [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cool! Can I dunk my doughnuts in there?]]

* InsaneTrollLogic: Celestia engages in this, just like the games. It's much worse here.
-->'''Makoto''': [on Hifumi] Should we check his vital signs to see if he's still alive?
-->'''Celeste''': *''[[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting munching on a bag of chips]]''* Nah it's OK. He's dead, I can tell. [[TrustMeImAnX Trust me. I'm a gambler.]]

* KickTheDog: Celestia saying that Yasuhiro is a loser's name ends up making Yasuhiro cry.

** And in turn, Makoto's callousness towards Kyoko [[FingerInTheMail finding what's left of her father in a box]].

* {{Malaproper}}: Byakuya of all people, after he just berated Jill for misspelling "body."
-->"Hmm, it's quite possible that this door is also rigged to blow. So all we need is someone who's fire retarded. Ah Makoto! Glad you showed up.

* MediumAwareness: The characters are very aware of their being in a video game, but there's still an awkward silence when Makoto says he's shooting down a statement, implying he's the only one who can see the game's actual interface. On the other hand, he also seems to think firing a Truth Bullet involves throwing a crumpled piece of paper at Leon, and engaging in a Bullet Time Battle requires him to make laser noises.

* NeverMyFault: Asahina blames Makoto for not checking underneath the hatch in the data center despite all the times he tried to with her stopping him.

* NoFourthWall

* OhCrap: Makoto tends to yell "Oh shit!" whenever a corpse shows up.

* OnlySaneMan: While he has his moments indulging the series' wackiness, Byakuya's personality receives the least CharacterExaggeration of anyone, thus turning him into this (which may have something to do with his voice being the closest to True Review's normal speaking voice).
** Makoto would probably count too if not for his IdiotHero status. In the last chapter, [[SmartBall after he grows a brain and unravels the mystery with ease]], The Narrator contemplates bestowing him the title.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: The level of [[IdiotHero Makoto's stupidity]] ([[{{Jerkass}} or just spitefulness]]) reaches a new low in Headmaster Kirigiri's hidden room.

* OverlyLongGag: Read above.

* PerkyGoth: Celestia. She's an avid fan of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', and plans on living in a castle being served by Creator/RobertPattinson lookalikes.
** Monokuma's decision to refer to culprits as "the blackened" is entirely based in it sounding "totally goth"

* PingPongNaivete: Yasuhiro is considered the dumbest character in the series, but also [[LampshadeHanging hangs enough lampshades]] to qualify for this.

* RunningGag: Many.

-->"Sorry I’m late. What did I miss? [Looking at Chihiro for less than a second] *''finger snap''* Got it. Know who did it. See ya."

* ShipSinking: Makoto and Kyoko's ShipTease is pretty huge in the original games. Here, the two come off as downright antagonistic toward each other most of the time, and Makoto seems far more interested in Hina.
** That said, [[AllMenArePerverts he takes the opportunity during the fifth investigation to sniff her bed sheets]], and seemingly hits on her before the final investigation after determining that Hina is a horrible person for trying to kill him twice. She warns him off that he "wouldn't be able to handle this much [[ColorMotif purple]]."
* ShoutOut: The series sometimes uses sound clips from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and at one point includes the "nice beaver" line from ''Film/TheNakedGun''.

* SkewedPriorities: Asahina thinks the worst thing about the night she saw Chihiro's "ghost" was that she didn't get any donuts.

--->'''Kyoko''': You go first. I don't want you looking up my skirt.

* TheEndOrIsIt: The series ends with Monokuma waking up while the Narrator mentions there being a sequel before he dismisses the idea because it took way too much effort to make the first time around, and [[NoBudget the budget ran out a long time ago]].
** And utimately, a sequel still ended up getting announced in spite of all The Narrator's complaints.

* WaxingLyrical: Byakuya quotes "[[Music/MCHammer Stop! Hammer Time!]]" at one point.

* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: In the BadEnding

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Just about everybody doles out their share of mistreatment to one another despite claiming to be friends, besides a few standouts like Sakura and Hina.
* YouFailLogicForever: Asahina's introduction of the third episode.
-->"But then like, out of nowhere, this green image of Chihiro started coming out of this laptop! And I instantly knew that lights + laptops = ghosts!
** Yasuhiro thinks his experience with burger-abducting aliens somehow works towards proving he's a real psychic.
** Byakuya thinks Makoto is the fifth culprit despite listing off all the evidence against Kyoko a single sentence earlier.

Four months after the conclusion of the first series, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmBxXHNL8w0 True Review announced a sequel]], ''[[NumberedSequels Danganronpa 2 Parody 2]]''. There are no plans to follow up with an Ultra Despair Girls Parody or Danganronpa 3 Parody 3 due to burnout.\\

-->'''Kyoko''': What did I miss? ''(takes a look at Chihiro's corpse)'' Oh, already know who did it.

** It should noted that [[JustAMachine she didn't actually care about Alter Ego]] [[{{Jerkass}} and just wanted an excuse to be mean to Makoto]].

-->'''Byakuya''': Makoto, come here! I want to speak to you and I need your help with something.

* SkirtsAndLadders: Kyoko mentions this before her and Makoto climb out of the trash dump.

* WaxingLyrical: Byakuya quotes "[[Music/MCHammer Stop! Hammer Time!]] at one point.

* WaxingLyrical: Byakuya quotes "[[MCHammer Stop! Hammer Time!]] at one point.

** Same as the original, Kyoko with anything regarding her father. [[{{Jerkass}} Makoto keeps pushing it]].

* AbsenteeActor: Kyoko's only line in Episode 3 is "I have to go" and she isn't seen till the next.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: [[ContractualGenreBlindness It flipflops]]. Byakuya, for instance, promptly brings up the question of how Hifumi's body could've possibly gone missing within such a limited time-frame whereas his canon counterpart never considered how that happened. In spite of being ignored by the more [[GenreBlindness Genre Blind]] students for this, he still has an entry under Genre Blindness...

-->'''Makoto''': Yeah. The image of Chihiro's torpedo is has been burned into my mind. [[DelinquentHair Wait, that's it!]] Mondo! I choose you!

* BerserkButton: Makoto can't stand the Narrator constantly forcing him to learn new gameplay mechanics, and in turn Makoto's status as an IdiotHero pisses the Narrator off to new end.

* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Makoto and Kyoko's story follows this arc like in the original. Her passive-aggressiveness may have reached the level of full-on aggressiveness.
-->'''Asahina''': Aww, don't worry Alter Ego. We're all here for you. After all, we're your friends!

-->'''Makoto''': [[ImStandingRightHere Oh come on!]]

-->'''Makoto''': Why do have an ass instead of a top lip? Seriously, [[BreakingTheFourthWall go play the game. He has an ass instead of a top lip]].

* CoughSnarkCough: Celestia sends everyone to library to go look for Hifumi this way. Makoto does exactly what she wants.

* DeadpanSnarker: Almost everybody at one point or another, which funnily enough manages to elevate Yasuhiro up to being slightly smarter than his canon counterpart as a result of his pointing out so many [[PlotHole plot holes]].

** In the last trial while everyone else is in the midst of a DespairEventHorizon, Makoto declares "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything I've just got to grab them in the right place and spray my hope all over them!]] [{{Beat}}] [[CallBack It's the boy's bathroom all over again]]."

* EmotionlessGirl: While this trait of Kyoko's is brought up frequently, her capacity for sarcasm, goofy behavior and occasional outbursts make this one of the more emotive incarnations of her.

-->'''Kyoko''': [{{Beat}}] I don't like her! [[note]][[TalkingToHimself it should be pointed out that both girls have the same voice actress here]][[/note]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Quite often, mostly from characters outright declaring ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial or denying]]) something they're going to do later. At one point the Narrator gets in on it, when Kyoko's standing in the dojo ignoring Makoto (thus being too silent to do it herself).
-->"Wow! It's almost like she doesn't give a single fuck! Well at least she's not accusing you of murder or anything.

-->"Huh? [[ThisCannotBe But.. but that's impossible!]] [[PoorCommunicationKills I'm supposed to be the one who knows everything and keeps everyone else in the dark!]] [[BigNo Nooooooooooo!]]

* IncomingHam: Junko's introduction as The Ultimate Despair [[MemeticMutation is followed by a clip]] of the [[BigYes Big Yeah]] from "[[Music/TheWho Won't Get Fooled Again]]"

-->'''Celeste''': *''[[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting munching on a bag of chips]]''* Nah it's OK. He's dead, I can tell. [[TrustMeImAnX Trust me. I'm a gambler]].

* InteractiveNarrator: At one point he gets high with Yasuhiro while Makoto is off fevering.

-->'''Makoto''': *''sigh''* Seriously? Going to pile it all on me again huh?

* ItsUpToYou: Kyoko [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade on this one]]

'''''Danganronpa Parody''''' is an AffectionateParody of the VisualNovel ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa}}'' created by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd_PfnHI81V6soVgEIAQxTA True Review]]. Although paced {{in the style of}} an [[TheAbridgedSeries Abridged Series]], unlike other [[GagDub Gag Dubs]], it chooses to parody the game itself instead of the anime with the use of sprite-editing, often remarking upon its mechanics and [[LampshadeHanging hanging many a lampshade]] on the oddness of its plot. [[AdaptationDistillation It condenses the game's 6 chapters]], following a group of 15 students that [[ClosedCircle are trapped in a school]] and [[DeadlyGame forced to kill each other]] by a sadistic KillerTeddyBear. All in all, the series clocks in at just over an hour and 10 minutes: not a bad way to have some fun with the game upon finishing its story.

->'''Monokuma''': I'm Monokuma! Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy. The school where you'll all spend the rest of your lives. Cause I'll kill you if you leave!
->'''Narrator''': Sounds like someone has some attachment issues!

All in all, the series clocks in at just over an hour and 10 minutes: not a bad way to have some fun with the game upon beating it.

-->'''Toko''': D-Don't t-touch me! [[[EverybodyLaughsEnding Everybody laughs]]]

* ButThouMust: Makoto upon receiving the BadEnding.

* ComedicSociopathy

* DelinquentHair: Mondo. In Makoto's own words...
-->"Why is there a beaver glued to your forehead?"

-->[After the Narrator explains the rules] Makoto, did you get all of that? Because despite having solved this case myself, you're going to have to do all the work on your own, because I'm mysterious like that."

* ForgetfulJones: Makoto, if you assume he's just forgetting everyone else's names (meaning his new names aren't explicitly [[MaliciousMisnaming malicious]]). Supporting this is the unfortunate mistake of accusing Byakuya as the culprit twice in the second trial, with both accusations being a little over a minute apart.

* GenreBlindness : Sometimes when Makoto [[CaptainObviousReveal takes too long to reach an obvious conclusion]], the screen will flash some variation of "[[SarcasmMode MAKOTO'S A GENIUS]]" when he finally gets it.
** Despite the below trope, Byakuya prematurely declares victory just based on Monokuma going inactive. In further representation of the series' regular use of ContractualGenreBlindness, [[IdiotHero Makoto]] is the one that has to point the problem with this out to him.

* HeyThatsMyLine: The Narrator complains at Kyoko like this word-for-word during the second trial after she does announces aloud that they should head back to the trial room. Possibly {{foreshadowing}} her taking his job later.

* InappropriateHunger: Celestia can be seen eating some Walkers Sensations after Yamada was just 'murdered'. Even if she knew he wasn't actually dead, the room was still covered in blood.

* JustAMachine: Kyoko of all people, following Alter Ego's execution...

* OnlySaneMan: While he has his moments indulging the series' wackiness, Byakuya's personality receives the least CharacterExaggeration of anyone, thus turning him into this. Makoto would probably count too if not for his IdiotHero status, but The Narrator eventually bestows him the title after he [[SmartBall grows a brain]].

-->Makoto: Toko? Are you in there? OH GOD! What smells like onions and vinegar?
-->Toko: I-I-I h-h-haven't washed since we got here.

* PlotHole: The series goes to great lengths to point them out, and ironically enough creates a few of its own thanks to the limits of its condensed pacing (Ishimaru being seen in the dining hall during the third case, which originally hinged on his going missing from said hall in the first place).

* RageBreakingPoint: After [[DownInTheDumps sitting in a trash dump]] between episodes, Makoto [[WhatTheHellHero finally chews out Kyouko]] at the start of the last episode for making him [[TakingTheHeat Take the Heat]] [[FallGuy to save her own skin]] [[NeverMyFault without the slightest remorse]].

-->'''Kyoko''': Look, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

-->'''Kyoko''': Makoto, you're letting yourself get worked up over nothing. [[MediumAwareness You know too well that you could have just loaded your last saved game had things gone badly]].

** At one point Junko refers to herself as a [[Manga/SuperGals Super Gal]].

* SkewedPriorities: Despite starving between episodes, Makoto would rather have something gluten free instead of eat the bread Kyoko brought him.

* UnsettlingGenderReveal:

* TheVoiceless: Kyoko and Byakuya as a consequence of their refusal to introduce themselves early on.

-->"But then like, out of nowhere, this green image of Chihiro started coming out of this laptop! And I instantly knew that lights + laptops = ghosts!

* GenreSavvy: Byakuya promptly brings up the question of how Hifumi's body could've possibly gone missing within such a limited time-frame. He gets ignored.

* BadEnding: Just like in the original game. Makoto calls it a horrible way of telling him that he got it wrong, but has trouble seeing how the "good" ending is any better.

-->'''Makoto''': Yeah. The image of Chihiro's torpedo is has been burned into my mind. Wait, that's it! Mondo! I choose you!

** Kyoko's awkward conversation skills.

* ForgetfulJones: Makoto, if you assume he's just forgetting everyone else's names (making his new names neither [[AccidentalMisnaming accidental]] nor [[MaliciousMisnaming malicious]]). Supporting this is the unfortunate mistake of accusing Byakuya as the culprit twice in the second, with both accusations being a little over a minute apart.

* IronicEcho: Kyoko's FigureItOutYourself attitude comes back to bite her later.

** Kyoko asking for a rematch against Monokuma in the sixth chapter [[DeadlyGame because it'll make for good TV]], offering up Makoto's life as a bargaining chip after he essentially saved hers.

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Possibly the series' biggest RunningGag besides ContractualGenreBlindness, though it can be hard to tell at times whether it's being done [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally]] or [[MaliciousMisnaming maliciously]]. By the last episode, Kyoko is by-far the most frequent victim of it [[MaliciousMisnaming due to Makoto still being angry about her trying to kill him]] [[note]]the names she receives include Kyoto Peri Peri, Music/KatyPerry, [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Yukiko]], Bobo, Tokyo, {{Pinocchio}}, Sebco, LightNovel/{{Baccano}} and Coco[[/note]]. Not even the BigBad is immune, and as Makoto is roll-calling everyone to break them out of their DespairEventHorizon, Hina is the only one he calls by her correct name.

* UngratefulBastard: Kyoko doesn't see much wrong with continuing to mistreat Makoto despite his not calling out her lie in the fifth trial.
-->'''Kyoko''': Makoto, you're letting yourself get worked up over nothing. [[MediumAwareness You know too well that you could have just loaded your last saved game had things gone badly]].
-->'''Makoto''': Shut up! You just didn't want the [[BadEnding crappy alternative ending!]] That's what this is about really.

-->'''Makoto''': Oh come on!

* NoSocialSkills: Kyoko can be incredibly rude and has no idea how to hold a normal conversation. It speaks volumes that her first line in the series was "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Hey Makoto, are you hairy?]]" It says even more that her last line is "Hey, wanna see something gross?"

** Same as the original, Kyoko with regarding her father. [[{{Jerkass}} Makoto keeps pushing it]].

* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Makoto and Kyoko's story follows this arc like in the original. Her passive-aggressiveness might actually be worse here.

-->'''Narrator''': Sorry, Makoto, I forgot to mention that running away isn't an option... even though I put it there! I just thought we'd get some laughs and I can tell by your face that you're still pissed off about the whole got the wrong ending thing so I'm just gonna stop talking now...

* NeverSayDie: Makoto tries to explain Chihiro's death to Alter Ego by saying he's "gone to live on that farm" (along with everyone else that's died). [[SubvertedTrope He messes up a second later]] by including "[[ForgottenFallenFriend the other one who died right at the start whose name I forget!]]"

* NoSocialSkills: Kyoko can be incredibly rude and has no idea how to hold a normal conversation. Her first line in the series is her asking "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Hey Makoto, are you hairy?]]"

* OnlySaneMan: While he has his moments indulging the series' wackiness, Byakuya's personality receives the least CharacterExaggeration of anyone, thus turning him into this. Makoto would probably count too if not for his IdiotHero status.

* ShoutOut: The series sometimes uses sound clips from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.

* TooDumbToLive: [[AdaptationDistillation Since the trials can't go very long]], the culprits either walk right into their sentence (Leon) or [[GaveUpTooSoon give up way too quickly]] (Mondo). Celestia jumping straight to her VillainousBreakdown probably takes the cake though.
-->'''Celestia''': Listen you! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis My... name... is...]] [[SuddenlyShouting Celestia Ludeberg GODDAMMIT!!!]]

** Junko explains herself to Byakuya with a clip of the [[BigYes Big Yeah]] from "[[Music/TheWho Won't Get Fooled Again]]" and the TitleDrop of "[[Music/{{Nickelback}} Feelin' Way Too Damn Good]]." He tells her she's not making any sense.

** Kyoko asking for a rematch against Monokuma in the sixth chapter, offering up Makoto's life as a bargaining chip after he essentially saved hers.

* SequelHook: The series ends with Monokuma waking up before the Narrator dismisses the idea because it took way too much effort to make the first time around, and [[NoBudget the budget ran out a long time ago]].

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The game’s failure state is acknowledged when Makto runs out of influence in the second trial.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Quite often. At one point the Narrator gets in on it, when Kyoko's standing in the dojo ignoring Makoto.

* KickTheDog: Kyoko asking for a rematch against Monokuma in the sixth chapter, offering up Makoto's life as a bargaining chip after he essentially saved hers.

* ShoutOut: Celestia claims she got her name from ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Pony]]''.

* VitriolicBestFriends: Just about everybody has their share of problems with each other despite claiming to be friends, besides a few standouts like Sakura and Hina.
** By the last episode, Makoto and Kyoko pretty clearly aren't too fond of each other.

-->"Dear diary. Today I learnt that friendship can blossom in many places. My new life at this school has just started and it's looking good. I've made some new friends and I've also met a girl who really likes me and... ['''RecordScratch'''] OhCrap! That's right! [[SomethingWeForgot She's dead and still in my bathroom!]] Oh shit! *''Running back to find Sayaka's corpse still there''* Oh shit!

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Possibly the series' biggest RunningGag besides ContractualGenreBlindness , though it can be hard to tell at times whether it's being done [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally]] or [[MaliciousMisnaming maliciously]]. By the last episode, Kyoko is by-far the most frequent victim of it [[MaliciousMisnaming due to Makoto still being angry about her trying to kill him]] [[note]]the names she receives include Kyoto Peri Peri, Music/KatyPerry, [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Yukiko]], Bobo, Tokyo, {{Pinocchio}}, Sebco, LightNovel/{{Baccano}} and Coco[[/note]].

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Makoto's capacity for being an IdiotHero reaches a new low in Headmaster Kirigiri's hidden room.

-->'''Kyoko''': Trust me. It's awesome. Check what's in her underwear.

Although paced {{in the style of}} an [[TheAbridgedSeries Abridged Series]], unlike other [[GagDub Gag Dubs]], it chooses to parody the game itself instead of the anime, often remarking upon its mechanics and [[LampshadeHanging hanging many a lampshade]] on the oddness of its plot. [[AdaptationDistillation It condenses the game's 6 chapters]], following a group of 15 students that [[ClosedCircle are trapped in a school]] and [[DeadlyGame forced to kill each other]] by a sadistic KillerTeddyBear.

-->'''Makoto''': Wow, this is cool. I sure hope I don't pass out from all the excitement. [After Passing Out and ending up in an empty classroom] Wow, this is lame.

* HeyThatsMyLine: The Narrator complains at Kyoko word-for-word after she does this in the second trial. Possibly {{foreshadowing}} her taking his job later.

* AngstWhatAngst: Rarely do the character acknowledge the level of tragedy within the story.

** Makoto's naivete.

* KickTheDog: Kyoko asking for a rematch against Monokuma in the sixth chapter, offering up Makoto's life as a bargaining chip.

* NeverSayDie: Makoto tries to explain Chihiro's death to Alter Ego by saying he's "gone to live on that farm" (along with everyone else that's died). [[SubvertedTrope He messes up a second later]] by including "[[ForgottenFallenFriend the other one who died right at the start whose name I forget!]]" among the farm's occupants.

** Junko/Mukuro's death gets punctuated by the K.O! sound in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' and is followed by the [[GameOver Critical Mission Failure]] screen from ''Franchise/MassEffect''.

* TooMuchInformation: Makoto says this after finding out from Genocide Jill that [[{{Crossdresser}} Byakuya wears black panties]].

* EasilyForgiven: Averted. Unlike his canon counterpart, here Makoto refuses to forgive everyone for voting wrongly against him in the fifth trial (Asahina especially since she already tried to kill him and everyone else in the fourth trial).

* EntertaininglyWrong: Makoto thinks the Robo Justice costume could function as PowerArmor, allowing them to move Hifumi's body. The Narrator tells him "There's no hope for you at all!"

-->'''Hiro''': Oh, I can see why that would be an issue. I mean, if the place was clear then sure but, if there happened to be a dead... Say ''what''?

* HeyThatsMyLine: The Narrator complains at Kyoko for doing this word-for-word in the second trial.

* InappropriateHunger: Celestia can be seen eating some Walkers Sensations after Yamada was just 'murdered', and even if she knew he wasn't actually dead, the room was still covered in blood.

-->'''[Before the second trial]'''

-->'''[Before the last trial]'''

** Makoto quickly notices [[INeverSaidItWasPoison Celestia's slip-up about two people being dead when she couldn't have possibly known that]], only to ignore it a second later after she tells him it's not important.

* BerserkButton: Makoto can't stand the narrator constantly forcing him to learn new gameplay mechanics, and in turn Makoto's status as an IdiotHero pisses the narrator off to new end.

* ConfettiDrop: The narrator gives Makoto some balloons for making it half-way through the game.

-->[After the narrator explains the rules] Makoto, did you get all of that? Because despite having solved this case myself, you're going to have to do all the work on your own, because I'm mysterious like that."

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Quite often. At one point the narrator gets in on it, when Kyoko's standing in the dojo ignoring Makoto.

* HeyThatsMyLine: The narrator complains at Kyoko for doing this word-for-word in the second trial.

* MediumAwareness: The characters are very aware of their being in a video game, but there's still an awkward silence when Makoto says he's shooting down a statement, implying he's the only one who can see the game's actual interface. On the other hand, he also seems to think firing a truth bullet involves throwing a crumpled piece of paper at Leon, and engaging in a bullet time battle requires him to make laser noises.

* NoSocialSkills: Kyoko has no idea how to hold a normal conversation. Her first line in the series is her asking "[[ItMakesSenseInContext Hey Makoto, are you hairy?]]"

* SarcasmMode: Sometimes when Makoto [[GenreBlindness takes too long to reach an obvious conclusion]], the screen will flash some variation of "MAKOTO'S A GENIUS" when he finally gets it.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The narrator vacates the series briefly after getting fed up with Makoto's stupidity, leaving Kyoko to fill in his role. [[TenMinuteRetirement He comes back later in the video]] after Makoto catches the SmartBall, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and totally not because he missed his train]].

* SequelHook: The series ends with Monokuma waking up before the narrator dismisses the idea because it took way too much effort to make the first time around, and [[NoBudget the budget ran out a long time ago]].

** Junko/Mukuro's death is followed by the [[GameOver Critical Mission Failure]] screen from ''Franchise/MassEffect''.

** The narrator compares the game's ending to leaving the vault in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' combined with the original ending to ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' ("so we're just gonna show you that!").

* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: The narrator gives this honor to Asahina recounting her ghost sightings in the change room. Yasuhiro tops it the next episode with his [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment burger story]], to the point where the narrator asks permission from the other characters to kill him off because of it.

-->'''Narrator''': Oh welcome to the plot, whatever your face is! Glad to see you've got a voice.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Junko's video display depicting {{the end of the world as we know it}}. [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/big-bill-hells Fuck you Baltimore!]]

-->"Dear diary. Today I learnt that friendship can blossom in many places. My new life at this school has just started and it's looking good. I've made some new friends and I've also met a girl who really likes me and... ['''RecordScratch'''] OhCrap! That's right! [[SomethingWeForgot She's dead and still in my bathroom!]] Oh shit! [Running back to find Sayaka's corpse still there] Oh shit!"

-->'''Narrator''': ''Totally freaked out by the Goth chick, Makoto turned to the weird girl with purple hair, purple skin, purple eyes and wearing nothing but purple''.

* FastForwardGag: What Asahina's entire TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards everyone over Sakura's death amounts to.

* FridgeLogic: Many characters love to muse on these questions.

-->"Aww, well isn't that rich! [[PoorCommunicationKills I've been lovingly keeping you in the dark about absolutely everything so far throughout this game]] and you can't even tell me something that'll probably balls everything up! [Storming out] I thought we were friends Makoto but I guess I was wrong! GOD!

-->'''Makoto''': I don't know. I'll have to think about it. [she blushes at him] Thanks babe.

-->'''Hina''': *holding a pair of exercise weights* Oh thanks! I like to work out whenever I get a free moment between eating doughnuts.

-->'''Celeste''': [[[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting munching on a bag of chips]]] Nah it's OK. He's dead, I can tell. [[TrustMeImAnX Trust me. I'm a gambler]].

-->'''Makoto''': It's obvious who done it and we know who you are! So here to explain everything is Kyoko, who's clearly in the dark about this.
-->'''Kyoko''': Huh?
-->'''Makoto''': Yeah! Payback's a bitch ain't it?

-->"Now, if you'll all line up and pay attention to the television so that I can show you something confusing that's probably important to the story, but we're not going to explain it [[HandWave for some reason]]. Almost like we don't even know why we're drawing your attention to it ourselves."

* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Possibly the series' biggest RunningGag, though it can be hard to tell at times whether it's being done [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally]] or [[MaliciousMisnaming maliciously]]. By the last episode, Kyoko is by-far the most frequent victim of it [[MaliciousMisnaming due to Makoto still being angry about her trying to kill him]] [[note]]the names she receives include Kyoto Peri Peri, Music/KatyPerry, [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Yukiko]], Bobo, Tokyo, {{Pinocchio}}, Sebco, LightNovel/{{Baccano}}, Coco[[/note]]. By the final episode, not even the BigBad is immune, and as Makoto is roll-calling everyone to break them out of their DespairEventHorizon, Hina is the only one he calls by her correct name.

* NeverSayDie: Makoto tries to explain Chihiro's death to Alter Ego by saying he's "gone to live on that farm" (along with everyone else that's died). [[SubvertedTrope He messes up a second later]] by including "[[ForgottenFallenFriend the other one who died right at the start whose name I forget!]]" among the farm's residents.
* NightmareFetishist: Junko [[{{Squick}} squicks]] out Byakuya after yelling "Oh my God! I lost. This is making me so horny!"

* NoIndoorVoice: Kiyotaka. After his death, the other students just start calling him "the loud one."

* NoYou: Mondo and Kiyotaka's argument amounts to them shouting variations of "fuck you" at each other. It gets reversed the next day where they're shouting variants of "I love you" instead.

-->"Sorry I’m late. What did I miss? [Looks at Chihiro for less than a second] *finger snap* Got it. Know who did it. See ya."

** By the last episode, Makoto and Kyoko practically hate each other.

** Junko explains herself to Byakuya with a clip of "[[Music/{{Nickelback}} Feelin' Way Too Damn Good]]"
