[[/folder]]


* AccidentalSuicide:
** Clown 7 in Fortnite the Movie 5: Vengeance.
* AerithAndBob:
** Many of the characters have insane and borderline ridiculous names.
* AllThereInTheManual: Since the films feature barely any dialogue, a lot of backstory and lore is found on the official wiki.
** The full names of certain characters:
*** Norm's full name is Norman Bladder.
*** Joker Knockoff/Jokester's full name is Jokeman Ranch.
*** Mime Hahahhwhehhe is the full name of Mime.
*** The main character in Cop Movie is Officer Cheesesmith.
* AnyoneCanDie:
** No character in this series survives. Best shown in Fortnite the Movie 9: Day of the Clown where almost every one of the main characters die.
* ArcVillain:
** Jokeman Ranch in Fortnite the Movie 3-9.
** The Demon during seasons two to four of The Norm Show.
** [[spoiler:White Skull]] in the Reboot quadrilogy and the fourth season of The Norm Show.
* ArchEnemy:
** The Cowboy to Bigmouth.
* AssholeVictim: Yep, there's a lot of them.
* AxeCrazy: Dear lord, the entire cast.
* BackForTheDead:
** [[spoiler:Jesus]] in Jesus vs Rampage: Yawn of Justice. His last appearance was roughly 20 films prior.
* TheBadGuyWins
** The Demon in The Wreckage
** [[spoiler:White Skull in Crash and Burn.]]
** [[spoiler:Jokeman Ranch]] in Fortnite the Movie 7: The Rise of the Clown.
** [[spoiler:The Cowboy]] in The Cowboy Contract. His victory is extremely short lived though.
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad:
** Dirt may not be the main antagonist, but he isn't a good man.
* BittersweetEnding:
** Fortnite the Movie 6. Many characters have been killed and [[spoiler:The Clown]] has returned, however Dirt is able to go into hiding and live free from gunfights and danger.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst:
** Completely and utterly averted. Mime survives the first two films despite apparently being shot in both. [[spoiler:Mime even survives Fortnite the Movie 9: Day of the Clown, the movie where majority of the main cast is killed off, only to finally be killed in Fortnite the Movie: The Reign of White Skull, the third last film in the whole series]].
* BookEnds:
** Ab-Norm-Al ends where Fortnite the Movie takes place, as it was the three year anniversary of the series when released.
* BoomHeadshot: Yeah, quite a lot of them.
* BottleEpisode:
** Almost all of Knives Out 2 takes place in the house.
* BreatherEpisode:
** Fortnite the Movie 4 can certainly apply. While the tone or ending of Fortnite the Movie 3 isn't exactly tragic or negative, the chaos and hijinks ensuing in the film is not present in the proceeding film, making Fortnite the Movie 4 a much calmer film.
* BurialAtSea:
** Beach Girl in Fortnite the Movie 5: Vengeance.
* TheCameo:
** Samboy in Cop Movie.
** The Clown in Mime Time.
** Norm in Jesus!
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** The Clown's infamous "Crap!".
** Jesus' "Not cool!". [[spoiler:Doubles for LastWords]]
* CerebusSyndrome:
** Fortnite the Movie 8: Enemy of the Clown immediately begins with the death of the protagonist. This along with the lack of music and heavier death count set the tone for this film quite quickly.
** Ab-Norm-Al immediately opens with what looks like [[spoiler:Norm's death]]. This as well as The Demon stalking Norm for the remainder of the season add tension and a darker element to the series.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Norm goes from psychotic mass murderer to highly skilled assassin over the course of the series.
* ChaseFight: No brainer.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:White Skull]]. Everything up until A New Legacy has been planned and moulded by him.
* ChristmasEpisode: The Fortnite the Movie Holiday Special.
* CloneArmy: The clowns.
* ContinuityNod:
** The Demon's car that is seen throughout the second, third and fourth seasons of The Norm Show was created from the scraps of Norm's original car, which was destroyed in Granny Business.
* CopKiller: Most characters are. Makes sense. Fuck all cops.
* DarkerAndEdgier:
** Fortnite the Movie 8: Enemy of the Clown definitely fits this trope, as well as seasons 2 to 4 of The Norm Show.
* DeadlyRoadTrip: Basically the plot of The Roadtrip.
* DeathAsComedy: The thing about comedy is that it's meant to be funny.
* DeathByFallingOver
* DeathMountain:
** Mt Slippery. Many characters have fallen off this mountain. They've somehow survived too.
** Camp Lakebottom. Originally, this was The Cowboy's turf, but after Norm slaughtered most of The Cowboy's gang in The Cowboy Contract, it was left abandoned. In Fortnite the Movie 8: Enemy of the Clown, Jokeman Ranch would eventually find Camp Lakebottom and turn it into his own base, was well as command the remnants of The Cowboy's gang. Fortnite the Movie 9: Day of the Clown features Jokeman Ranch battling Dirt in said base.
* DenserAndWackier:
** Knives Out 2. It's a fun mystery movie with only three characters. It's also the shortest, barring the Holiday Special and the canonical teasers.
** Mime Time. The plot is as clear as a brick.
** Fortnite the Movie 3 Part Two. What on earth is going on?
* DiscOneFinalBoss:
** Jokeman Ranch is nothing compared to [[spoiler:White Skull]]. Nothing.
* DownerEnding: Majority of the films, since they all feature many deaths.
* DisneyDeath: So many fucking examples.
** [[spoiler:The Clown]] in Fortnite the Movie 2. [[spoiler:Jokeman Ranch]][[note]]The Clown was originally meant to be killed off in Fortnite the Movie 2 and later replaced with The Clown in Fortnite the Movie 6, however it was retconned as the two clowns are one in the same.[[/note]]
** [[spoiler:Norm]] in The Cowboy Contract and The Wreckage
** [[spoiler:Jokeman Ranch]] and [[spoiler:The Spyman]] in Fortnite the Movie 6.
** [[spoiler:Mime]] in pretty much every appearance.
** [[spoiler:Big Norm]] in Goliath.
* DisneyVillainDeath:
** [[spoiler:Beach Girl]] in Fortnite the Movie 5: Vengeance and Ab-Norm-Al, since both films take place at the same time.
* DyingToBeReplaced: Basically any non main character, especially the clowns.
* EarlyBirdCameo:
** [[spoiler:White Skull]] in The Wreckage.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** The first two films end with "Number #1 Victory Royale", referencing the game Fortnite.
** The first film features more talking compared to the rest of the series.
** The cinematography of the first (and sometimes second) film is noticeably different and much less static.
** Granny Business lacks a real plot and features Norm mercilessly gunning down a number of civilians. The rest of the series has many different arcs and storylines, whereas Granny Business was created at a time where the future of The Norm Show was still in development.
* EnsembleCast: The series holds many protagonists and antagonists. If you want to get technical, they're called main characters.
** Dirt is essentially the main protagonist from Fortnite the Movie until Fortnite the Movie 9: Day of the Clown which features [[spoiler:his death]].
** Jokeman Ranch is the main antagonist in the main series of films, although is introduced slightly later in the series during Fortnite the Movie 3. [[spoiler:Like Dirt, he is killed in Fortnite the Movie 9: Day of the Clown]].
** Bigmouth, beginning as a one off character has become a protagonist as well, featuring in the final two films in the main saga, two films of her own and in many other films as a cameo.
** Norm Bladder. Possibly the protagonist of the whole series. Other than his appearances in his own spinoff show, Norm has made several appearances in the main saga and in a number of spinoff films. [[spoiler:Ironically, Norm is not present in the final episode of his own show, as his death was featured an episode prior, in Crash and Burn]].
** Mime, first appearing in the first film has made countless appearances throughout the series, including his own spinoff film. [[spoiler:Mime even miraculously survives past Fortnite the Movie 9: Day of the Clown, which is notorious for killing essentially all previous main characters and well into the Reboot quadrilogy and Season 4 of The Norm Show.]]
** The Clown. Appearing throughout the series, first seen in the original Fortnite the Movie, and last seen in [[spoiler:Fortnite the Movie 9: Day of the Clown]], as well as a number of spinoffs, including two of his own.
** [[spoiler:White Skull, the main antagonist of the Reboot quadrilogy and Season 4 of The Norm Show.]]
** Samboy and Slappy, the duo from the Reboot series who constantly fight against [[spoiler:White Skull]] alongside each other, as well as many other reoccurring characters, such as [[spoiler:Norm]].
* EveryCarIsAPinto:
** Seen in most of the films, cars explode constantly.
* EvilDoppelganger: Big Norm. He's basically Norm, but bigger. And more skilled. He's Norm if Norm wasn't a wimp. [[spoiler:Just kidding, they're both wimps]]. The two aren't exactly related in any way, Big Norm is simply someone that just looks like Norm.
* Fanservice:
** The many foot shots in Fortnite the Movie 5: Vengeance.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing:
** As Norm drives off after fighting [[spoiler:Big Norm]] at the end of Goliath, he passes [[spoiler:The Demon's car]], who briefly stalks Norm as he drives away.
* {{Foil}}:
** Norm has two foils-
*** Gustavo is a more skilled assassin and quickly replaces Norm after his encounter with The Demon [[spoiler:and eventually replaces Norm as the protagonist after his death in Crash and Burn]].
*** Big Norm is a much more ruthless and determined character than Norm. Norm barely survives his encounter with Big Norm and barely gets the jump on him. [[spoiler:Unfortunatly, this doesn't stop Big Norm at all]].
** Dirt and Jokeman Ranch are each other's foil. On each side is a determined and highly skilled character, but Dirt is slightly more heroic than Jokeman, as Jokeman held a very large criminal empire during his reign.
* HighSpeedMissileDodge: Done a few times:
** Most notably done by Dirt in Fortnite the Movie 6 during his battle with Jokeman Ranch.
* HowWeGotHere:
** Parts One of Fortnite the Movie 3 shows the series of events that leads to Dirt being shot at. [[spoiler:It's revealed in Part Two that in reality, Dirt was not getting shot at. Cop was just attempting to put down a clown running nearby]].
** The second season of The Norm Show begins with [[spoiler:The Demon destroying Norm's second car and seemingly killing Norm afterwards]]. The rest of the season follows Norm on his adventures whilst being hunted by The Demon.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo:
** Jokeman Ranch did the things he did and killed who he killed in order to [[spoiler:stop White Skull]] from rising to power.
* JokerImmunity:
** Pretty much everyone in the series is immortal. Until they're not.
* KilledOffForReal: Oh boy, here we go. Nearly every character in the series ends up dying eventually, so we'll go through the most important deaths.
** [[spoiler:Dirt, Jokeman Ranch, The Clown and Bigmouth]] all die in Fortnite the Movie 9: The Day of the Clown.
** [[spoiler:The Demon]] in Dance with the Devil.
** Shockingly, [[spoiler:Norm himself]] is killed off in the second last episode of The Norm Show during his battle with [[spoiler:White Skull]].
** [[spoiler:Jesus]] in Jesus vs Rampage: Yawn of Justice.
** Fortnite the Movie 8: Enemy of the Clown features two. [[spoiler:Jeane]], the supposed protagonist of the Supremacy trilogy ends up dying before the opening titles. [[spoiler:The Cowboy]] is also killed off in this film by [[spoiler:Bigmouth]].
** [[spoiler:The Spyman]] in Spyman Unleashed: Devil May Spy.
* MirrorMatch: Goliath.
* MissingEpisode:
** The first four films and The Spyman.
** The original pilot episode of The Norm Show
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Heavily implied in relation to [[spoiler:Jokeman Ranch]]'s death in Fortnite the Movie 9: The Day of the Clown

** Dirt's name isn't revealed until his own two part series, despite appearing in almost all of the main nine films and the prequel prior to this.

** The Demon to Norm.
* NoEnding: So many films apply. So fucking many.
** Mime Time ends with Mime going on a rampage and destroying every car he sees, and then wandering off.
** The Clown, although it has no plot to begin with.
** Jesus. After somehow finding a plane, Jesus crashes it, wanders off and gets hit by a train.
** Fortnite the Movie 3 Part 2 ends abruptly while Dirt is driving around.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Heavily implied during The Reign of White Skull. [[spoiler:Norm is dead. Mime is dead. Samboy is dead.]] Three major players have all been killed and White Skull remains in power.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: [[spoiler:Jokeman Ranch]]. As dastardly as they were, they were the only thing holding back White Skull.
* PoliceBrutality:
** Cop in Fortnite the Movie and Fortnite the Movie 3 is extremely happy shooting whoever he sees
** Officer Cheesesmith in Cop Movie. It's baffling how she hasn't been fired.
* PostReleaseRetitle: The first seven films were retitled due to legal reasons, however keep the same original title in the films themselves.
* PostScriptSeason: The Reboot quadrilogy could possibly apply. It originally was meant to be a trilogy of films unconnected to the main saga, however during development of The Norm Show, it was decided to carry on the storyline being told right into the quadrilogy. Essentially, ExecutiveMeddling led to the storylines directly leading into each other.
** Fortnite the Movie X. It's a one off film serving as the official epilogue to the universe, and will release after everything else has been released. Nothing is known about this film, as pre-production shall commence after everything prior to it has been released to the public.
* ProfessionalKiller:
** Gustavo Pepperoni. His first appearance in The Gustavo Show! shows you how skilled he is, especially compared to Norm.
** Norm Bladder by the time of In the Pale Moonlight.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated:
** Mime. Twice. Mime survived after seemingly being killed during Fortnite the Movie, and is seen again in the sequel. Mime again seemingly dies immediately, but is revealed to have survived in the climax of Fortnite the Movie 8: Enemy of the Clown.
** [[spoiler:The Spyman]]. It's revealed in Spyman Unleashed that [[spoiler:Spyman]] actually survived his encounter with [[spoiler:Meater]].
* RidingIntoTheSunset: Well, walking. Granny Business features one.
* RunningGag:
** People being set on fire.
** In Jesus vs Rampage: Yawn of Justice, Rampage is constantly stealing peoples cars after killing the driver.
* SeriesHiatus: Dear lord. Almost no other trope applies as much as this one.
** Fortnite the Movie, Fortnite the Movie 2 and Fortnite the Movie 3 Part 1 all were released in the span of a week. Fortnite the Movie 3 Part 2 would be released roughly two and a half weeks later.
** Fortnite the Movie 4 would release mid December of 2019. In the next two and a half weeks, we would see the release of The Spyman, Fortnite the Movie 5: Vengeance, Fortnite the Movie 6 and Prequel.

Dirt wears a grimy hoodie and jeans in Fortnite the Movie 3, while Jokeman Ranch wears a dapper suit and top hat, and wears the same suit in Fortnite the Movie 5: Vengeance and Fortnite the Movie 6. In Fortnite the Movie 5: Vengeance and Fortnite the Movie 6, Dirt gets a little fancier with a grey suit jacket, however underneath is a hideous Santa t-shirt.
