Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassMustache: Master Ken, naturally. Anthony grows one throughout the series but its seem more like a sign of sanity slippage than being a badass.

* OnlySaneMan: Anthony seems to be the only one in the dojo (bar the documentary crew) who realizes just how ridiculous Ameri-Do-Te is. He's only attending because it gives him the chance to snark at everything, though in season four his best one hit kill against someone is too befriend them and wait until they die of old age, even Ken is seemingly impressed.

* TheAce: Master Ken, of course. This is played with in the "showdown at the dojo" video where he is confronted by people he has pissed off and he proceeds to beat them up with ease, skills he hasn't really displayed in the seasons. Then it turns out the showdown was a movie within a movie and not real.

* TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight: Master Ken has a technique he refers to as You-Jitsu, which involves the fighter trying to outsmart their own reflections in a mirror. When Anthony points out that physics dictate that it requires them to be faster than the speed of light for You-Jitsu to work, Master Ken proceeds to show that it is indeed possible to do so[[note]]Ken's reflection even gives the real one a DopeSlap[[/note]].

Anthony most is the primary target of all.Ken's disdain during the show's actual episodes. Billy also suffers, but it's more due to his own stupidity and Ken's lack of concern for his well-being.
** Todd is on the receiving end of Ken's demonstrations in supplementary videos.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Kayfabe}}: Internet commenters happily maintain the illusion that Master Ken is an inspiring teacher and that Ameri-Do-Te is the most lethal martial art known to man. The cast, on the other hand, will promote the show out of character.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: The Hurticane's intended effect: you should launch so many simultaneous attacks on your opponent that they can't adequately defend against them all.


Added DiffLines:

* RealityIsUnrealistic: The Groin Grab and Hurticane are techniques that were actually taught to Matt Page while he was looking for a dojo to train at by instructors who seemed to be sure of said techniques' usefulness.
** In fact, many Ameri-Do-Te techniques seen on the show are merely slightly[[note]]and only very slightly[[/note]] exaggerated versions of real self-defense techniques taught by self-proclaimed masters of dubious qualifications.
