** In post-hiatus episodes, the plans get even more climactic when HTT [[spoiler:sends a dog army of his own via the cloning machine, leading to two of Stampy's dogs dying,]] and [[spoiler:blows up Stampy's first bedroom so he can replace it with his own design]]. This is compared to pre-hiatus episodes, where the worst HTT ''reasonably'' gets is killing Barnaby in "Memories" and siccing a robot replica of Polly on Stampy, which were more easily rectified, caused less collateral damage, and weren't ''completely'' direct attacks on Stampy himself.

--->'''Stampy:''' [[WhatTheHellHero Lee! Come on!]] I know he hurt the pig, but that was a bit harsh.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first thing we learn about Fizzy is that he's an eccentric elephant who loves bright wool, cookies, fireworks, parties, and playing games. [[CloudCuckoolander He also guesses that a random day is Stampy's birthday for no reason, and gives himself as a present.]]

* ForegoneConclusion: Tying in with the SpoilerTitle, Episode 541 was titled "I Lost". [[TheBadGuyWins You do the math from there.]]

** In Episode 342, "Optician", When Amy hears that Stampy is naming the optician they were building in the episode 'iC', which involves three puns in its name, she immediately digs into the ground and jumps in the hole. Stampy first interprets her as needing water to stop herself from drying up, since she ultimately dug into [[CityOnTheWater some water that had been covered up]].

'''Stampy:''' Well, it's a goo- no, it's a good pun, Amy! It's a ''good'' pun!
** Then when Stampy ''explains'' the pun[[note]]"I see" (i.e. I look at), [[VisualPun windows made of ice]], and opticians going "I see, I see" during appointments[[/note]], Amy jumps into the hole ''[[DoubleSubversion again]]''.

-->'''Stampy:''' I think I broke it! I tried [[spoiler:closing it when it was closed and it– it kind of... opened it? I guess two negatives do make a positive, and look at my [now bright and sunny] world now!]]

** It's so old that Stampy repeatedly stated that he couldn't fight the Ender Dragon in his Lovely World because the world was first generated ''when the Ender Dragon wasn't even added to the Console version yet'', and had to rely on Christmas presents delivered by Santa to get new materials for building like jungle wood. This is finally overturned once he switches versions and can receive regular updates, and proceeds to [[spoiler:defeat the Ender Dragon ''at last in the World'' in Episode 679, "Enderman Horde".]]

* LostPetGrievance: This happens a lot in older episodes, especially since Stampy's dogs had a tendency to [[ChronicPetKiller die from a variety of reasons]]. It happens again briefly in Episode 500, "Memories", after Hit The Target kills Barnaby, and [[spoiler:at the end of Episode 700, "Tragic Day". Episode 701, "Remembering", is made for this purpose.]]

** Both Episodes 184, "Clone Calamity" and [[spoiler:700, "Tragic Day" make use of the You Again Cloning Contraption in Stampy's Secret Base, and the battles that occurred in the episodes as a result of using [[CloneArmy armies of clones]] end up getting someone KilledOffForReal.]]
** Both Episodes 261, "Christmas Rescue" and 575, "Polly-Bot" rely on kidnapping a trusted Helper (the latter coupled with a [[RottenRoboticReplacement robotic imposter]] to lower suspicion).

--->'''Stampy:''' I was actually uh- speaking to Lee before we started the video, and he was saying about, ah- he was quite scared about [[ItMakesSenseInContext growing the melon]], so I told him that he should grow a pear.

-->'''Stampy:''' They ''do'' actually have things similar to that in real life, like, [[InvokedTrope all of these markings are based on real markings]], ''including'' -- believe it or not -- the arrows. So I kinda couldn't believe this, it was al- it was almost a little bit scary […] the fact that runways actually have arrows to say which way to fly the plane, and I think that if the pilot doesn't know which way to go down the runway, they shouldn't be a pilot at all, but real runways do have arrows to tell you which way to go, and so mine is- is the same; next time you go [on] a plane, look out for them and see if you can spot them.

* SimpleYetAwesome: Stampy's bedroom has a fairly simple design, even for something first built in 2012, but has since become one of the most iconic and easily recognizable builds in the Minecraft community. [[spoiler:Its destruction by [=HitTheTarget=] in Episode 733, "Christmas Invasion", [[TearJerker/StampysLovelyWorld sparked a lot of outrage]].]]
** This further extends to the rest of Stampy's house -- while only made of oak wood and sandstone on the outside (before [[spoiler:the bedroom expansion]], at least), it has long been one of the most iconic builds in the Minecraft community as well. In Episode 734, "My New Bedroom", Stampy thinks that it looks a bit basic in terms of materials and chalks it up to him being a noob when he built the house, but in his defense at the time, oak wood ''was'' the only plank variety in the Console edition back in 2012.

** Episode 700, "Tragic Day", where [[spoiler:three ([[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated actually two]]) of Stampy's dogs die in battle, the first time any pet deaths have happened in ''years''.]]
** Episode 719, "I Won", has Stampy [[spoiler:successfully trap and defeat Hit the Target. Sadly, the victory ends up being temporary, which ultimately undercuts the happy ending of the episode.]]

--->'''Polly (secretly either Polly-Bot, Hit The Target, or Veeva Dash):''' [[BlatantLies Everything is as it's supposed to be.]]

--->'''Stampy:''' [[spoiler:We're missing [[KilledOffForReal Bengy, Fluffy, and Corey.]]]]

--->'''[[spoiler:Hit The Target (via a sign placed by him)]]:''' [[spoiler:One final thing...I killed Gregory!]]

** For case you want another testament to the series' length and stable presence, it ending was considered notable enough for [[https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-67187916 the BBC to make an article about it.]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In the finale, Stampy makes multiple comments that (although making sense in-universe) are clearly Stampy discussing his own life and audience. The most notable one being when Stampy is [[spoiler:leaving Lovely World]] and reflects that "in a way, we've both grown up in this place" -- technically, in-universe, the "we" is himself and Hit the Target, but it's sweetly made clear that the "we" is actually Stampy and his audience.

** An extreme case of this is the FaceHeelTurn of Hit The Target, which happened in Episode 42 of ''over 700''.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In the finale, Stampy makes multiple comments that (although making sense in-universe) are clearly Stampy discussing his own life and audience. The most notable one being when Stampy is [[spoiler:leaving Lovely World]] and reflects that "in a way, we've both grown up in this place" - technically, in-universe, the "we" is himself and Hit the Target, but it's sweetly made clear that the "we" is actually Stampy and his audience.

* DenserAndWackier: From 2016 onward, the premise of Stampy's builds reach increasingly absurd concepts that are decreasingly possible in the universe of ''Minecraft'' the series is set in.
* DeusExMachina: Episode 100, "Cat to the Future", has Stampy lock Hit the Target in a metal cage, but then the second he turns his back, he straight up just disappears. Stampy even dug the area around him and didn't find anything. No explanation is ever given as to how this happened.

* DarkerAndEdgier[=/=]UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode: While by no means dark, the [=HitTheTarget=] episodes are far more intense and action-packed than the usual relaxing episodes of ''Lovely World''. In addition, some of [=HitTheTarget=]'s plans, such as [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals attacking Stampy's dogs]], are darker than the [[SugarBowl usual tone]] of the series. Even among the HTT attack episodes, Episode 541, "I Lost" is one of the darkest, as it is the only episode where the attack ends [[TheBadGuyWins with a bad ending]]. In post-hiatus episodes, the plans get even more climactic when HTT [[spoiler:sends a dog army of his own via the cloning machine, leading to two of Stampy's dogs dying,]] and [[spoiler:blows up Stampy's first bedroom so he can replace it with his own design]]. This is compared to pre-hiatus episodes, where the worst HTT ''reasonably'' gets is killing Barnaby in "Memories" and siccing a robot replica of Polly on Stampy, which were more easily rectified, caused less collateral damage, and weren't ''completely'' direct attacks on Stampy himself, at the least.

** Episode 700, "Tragic Day", as the SpoilerTitle suggests, is [[TearJerker/StampysLovelyWorld bitter]] in that [[spoiler:Fluffy, Bengy and Corey all get KilledOffForReal in [[HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday battle]] (Fluffy was presumed dead but it was later revealed to be a DisneyDeath, but still)]] during the episode, but is also [[Heartwarming/StampysLovelyWorld sweet]] in that [[spoiler:Stampy adopts a new dog, Secret, at the end of the episode and celebrates his 700th episode of the series with his Helpers]].

** Episode 701, "Remembering", ends with a montage of [[spoiler:Stampy's memories of Fluffy, Bengy, and Corey, his then-recently deceased (or [[DisneyDeath presumed deceased]], in one case) dogs]].

* MemorialStatue: In Episode 701, "Remembering", Stampy builds three memorial statues [[spoiler:for Fluffy, Bengy, and Corey, who died (or in Fluffy's case, was [[DisneyDeath presumed dead]]) in the previous video. Unlike most examples of this trope, the statues are based off of their collars rather than the dogs themselves.]]

* ReallyDeadMontage: One plays for [[spoiler:Bengy, Corey, and Fluffy]] at the end of Episode 701, "Remembering". [[spoiler:Except Fluffy [[DisneyDeath wasn't actually dead]], as it turns out.]]

** Episode 700, "Tragic Day", where [[spoiler:three ([[DisneyDeath actually two]]) of Stampy's dogs die in battle, the first time any pet deaths have happened in ''years''.]]

--->'''Stampy:''' [[spoiler:Fluffy [[DisneyDeath didn't die in the battle!]] You're still alive!]]

** The You Again Cloning Contraption is a ''major'' example. It was first used in Episode 179, "Cloning Contraption", to clone another Stampy Cat to [[MundaneUtility help with the building]] of the 'Soggy Sandwich' restaurant. Then it's used again in Episode 184, "Clone Calamity", where [[MesACrowd HitTheTarget]] makes a CloneArmy and [[CloningGambit attacks]] Stampy and Lee using it, and Lee also clones himself to help with the fighting. All the known clones at the time died in the episode, and Stampy breaks the button which would enable the machine to work, though it's replaced at a later point in time. Later in Episode 356, "William Beaver", William got curious and decided to clone himself with the machine, once again to help with construction. Finally, [[spoiler:in Episode 700, "Tragic Day", [=HitTheTarget=] and Veeva Dash recycle the past plan and decide to clone an army of dogs large enough to ZergRush Stampy and his own wolf pack, which proved to be disastrous on both sides, considering that the villainous duo ''still lost the battle'' and two of Stampy's own dogs ([[DisneyDeath thought to be three at the time]]) died in the crossfire, which prompted Stampy to destroy the machine once and for all.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Downplayed. In "Thanks for Watching", the final episode of the series, HitTheTarget finally succeeds in forcing Stampy to give up his Lovely World, and leaving it forever. Hit the Target gets what he's always wanted, but since Stampy is content with leaving and brings every friend he's made with him (including ''Veeva Dash'', who abandons Hit the Target), it's made clear that ruling a barren world full of structures that other people built is a rather miserable win.]]

* AllMythsAreTrue: If you ask about childhood story elements, they seem to be around every corner in the Lovely World. SantaClaus? He stops by every Christmas and one of his reindeer is one of Stampy's close friends. The EasterBunny? He drops by every year or so to hold an Easter egg hunt. The ToothFairy? She operates a dentist's office downtown. Extraterrestrial life? Stampy befriended them once and now they show up every once in a while. {{Hell}} [[BreadEggsMilkSquick itself]]? Yep, that exists too.[[note]]It's is more implied than anything, but the point stands since a then-dead [=HitTheTarget=] respawned in the Nether, i.e. in Minecraft's equivalent of H-E-double-bent-straws, after dying in "Unexpected Drama".[[/note]]

* AfterTheEnd[=/=]ZombieApocalypse: One of the scary movies watched in the 2017 HalloweenEpisode, ''Block of the Dead'', takes place in such a setting.

* TheCasino: The 'Fortune Fountain' casino is this.

** In Episode 14, "Googlies Trap", the [[Franchise/HarryPotter 'Room of No Requirement']] is constructed above Stampy's bedroom. He even [[LampshadeHanging acknowledges in the video]] that it is a nod to the franchise.

* TimeTravelEpisode: Episode 100, "Cat to the Future", is precisely this, complete with a ShoutOut title to a film series with time travel as its main premise.

** Aside from the above: the lava room under his house is ''directly'' under the entrance path, his false land is completely open underneath, his former mob trap design was absolutely hazardous, his boat dodgems game only has one layer of glass to contain the water, the underground of his Tree Train is a wood tunnel that can collapse in on itself at any moment, the Creeper Coaster has a room filled with ''real'' lava (resulting in Tikka's AccidentalSuicide via teleportation when Stampy tested it the first time), the helter skelter has ''no barriers'' for the track wrapping around it (additionally the immense height with little to hold onto during construction resulted in Cedric's death), his Raindrops ride has absolutely no actual guide from the highest point in his world to the rainbow (something that has resulted in death multiple times), the Soggy Sandwich has nothing to hold it up over the water, his hotel has a giant gaping hole for rain to pour into, the peak of his clock tower has no railings, the Fall For It mini-game (based on the Dropper trend) kills any player that fails to land into the water (which is an ''unintended'' part of the game as it's not a PVP game where death is part of the players' goal), his Sky High restaurant is entirely glass, the Nice Cream Ice Cream Parlor is ''literally a hollow artificial iceberg with an entrance'', the entrance to his theme park (Stampy's Funland) is a magnificent drop from a great height into only a small pool of water, his builds are mostly wool/wood, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he performs unethical experiments in his secret base]]. Some of these designs are, at the very least, justifiable with the Minecraft setting, but still…
** [[BigBad [=HitTheTarget=]]] is not any better regarding his second fortress onward considering he has it surrounded with a lava moat that is ''quite'' easy to fall into. Of course, it's not ''meant'' to be safe considering he's trying to stop Stampy from entering it, but he isn't that considerate for the safety of those living in it.

** Conversely, [=HitTheTarget=] and Veeva Dash serve as the opposing BattleCouple, although their relationship is never explicitly stated in the series and only confirmed on [[AllThereInTheManual Veeva Dash's Twitter page]].

* SimonSaysMiniGame: PlayedStraight with "Stampy Says", which is just a Simon Says mini-game made to work in default ''Minecraft''. The consequences are much more lethal than simply being eliminated from the round, however, in that a player gets dropped into a magma pool and is forced to walk across the magma to get out and restart.

* TheCaligula: In a case of VileVillainSaccharineShow, [[BigBad [=HitTheTarget=]]] is the {{Determinator}} variety of tyrant, who is willing to plot elaborate schemes and occasionally brute force his way through Stampy's efforts to make a SugarBowl by imposing his lust for power on others, only caring for his own ends and thinking the means justify them.

* TheColoredCross: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. The Caring Cat Clinic, the hospital in his world, uses the signature red cross design on the front entrance, rather than an alternate color.
%%* CompanyCrossReferences: Back in ''My Story Mode House'', a collaboration with [=StacyPlays=] in 2017, the two did an experiment to see whether hay bales really could break one's fall. Three years later, in Episode 686, "Santa's Surprise", Stampy and Polly use hay bales to get down from [[ItMakesSenseInContext the North Pole]].

* RecapEpisode: The non-canonical episode "Stampy Vs Hit The Target - The Story So Far" gives a brief recap on every Hit The Target attack up to Episode 658, "Mirror World", utilizing a ClipShow format.

** The water room, wheat room, dirt room, and cobblestone room, arguably. Stampy never uses those rooms, effectively making them abandoned.
