''The Slow Mo Guys'' is a web series featuring Creator/GavinFree and Daniel Gruchy showing various scenes occuring in [[{{Overcrank}} slow motion]], filmed using a Phantom Flex camera that can shoot up to 10,000 FPS, the same one used for the slow motion scenes in ''Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows''.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Considering that Dan is in the British Army and has proper firearms training, this gets applied to Gavin when he successfully puts out a candle by shooting an airsoft pellet through the wick. This crosses over with ATeamFiring afterwards, as Dan points out the close grouping of holes in the fence from his shots, and Gavin's shots which are all over the place.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Dan first shoots Gavin in the shoulder, saying he shoots like a woman before being shot directly in the bridge of the nose.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Framerates that once seemed impressive such as 10,000 FPS become significant overtime as faster cameras become frequent and less expensive. 10,000 FPS seemed impressive at the time until more cameras gave them faster frames. Culminating in 343,000 FPS, five seconds produces ''nine-and-a-half hours''

** Gav isn't immune to this, he was shot more times by the Maverick, particularly in the bridge of the nose. And also cracked his back doing the ''Film/HappyGilmore'' swing. Although given how badly he's treated within Creator/AchievementHunter and on ''Rage Quit'', Dan needed to share the pain.

* EyeScream: A very minor example when the Cuboid claimed he could [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} taste tomato through his eye]].

** The series title comes from [[TopGear Richard Hammond]]'s nickname for Gavin.

* DontTryThisAtHome: Commonly said on anything very dangerous such as smashing fluorescent lights, fire tennis and anything else that fits the deal of said disclaimer.
** Notably [[AvertedTrope averted]] in other cases, however, as Gavin claims he dislikes these disclaimers. So when he ''does'' say it, then that day's activity is probably stupid levels of dangerous.

* ButtMonkey: Dan is usually on the receiving end of very painful shots from: Getting slapped in the face, recieving a football to the side of the head, getting hit with a champagne cork, finger in a mouse trap, punched in the stomach, burnt by boiling oil, burnt by hot popcorn butter, almost drowned with a [[ItMakesSenseInContext water-filled condom on his head]], choked on cinnamon, shot by a paintball gun in ''both'' legs, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking shot with a]] [[NERFBrand Maverick]].

* YearInsideHourOutside: Their anniversary video showed every slow motion shot in real time which took around a couple of minutes even though all those videos were pretty much posted within a year and it takes quite awhile to watch each of them.

* AmusingInjuries: Filmed in slow motion of course!
** Not so funny when Dan got his hand cut up by a glass paint bottle exploding. Don't worry, he got better.

* ProductPlacement: By Lenevo, both for their thinkpads that withstand impact and water to be used on the I.S.S. and their tablets that also withstand impact and have a very durable, "gorilla" glass screen that was shot by paint balls. Best of all, you can play ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' on it.

* FanDisservice: Invoked, they wanted to remove the female attention by filming flappy faces in slow-mo.
