* CallBack: In Episode 47, [[spoiler:Vinny takes a look at HOTDOG's face, and wonders if he's practicing his funny faces]]. This is a clear reference back to [[spoiler:the failure that got HOTDOG evicted in the first place]].

* DysfunctionJunction: Vineland Island has quite a large amount of troubled islanders. We've got a cocaine addict who constantly fails at staying in long-term relationships, [[spoiler:a divorced couple]], a guy who's been forced to take on sports by his parent, someone who's constantly abused for being with someone he loves [[spoiler:and eventually having said person cheat on him]], a few hopeless romantics, possibly the most depressed man in the world, a hobo, and a child who has to deal with [[spoiler:lacking his dad]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: Several Vinelanders are briefly seen or mentioned before they move in.
** Since Vinny uses him own Mii collection to pick most of the early islanders, you can see some of them in the selection menu minutes or even episodes before they're actually added. Of these, Bonzi Buddy gets a special mention for hiding in the corner of the Mii Maker screen in the background before Episode 2 starts (the condensed version explicitly zooms in on him).
** Early in Episode 2, Vinny comments on the possibility of a Balegdah islander. She gets added a few episodes later.
** Satan was mentioned plenty of times before he actually arrived, including Donkey Kong being proclaimed a Satanist by Vinny and Jesus choosing the guy over himself during a round of Judgement Bay.
** The ''Tomodachi Collection'' corruptions feature [[spoiler:Vineschnoz]]. Guess who Vinny adds in [[spoiler:Episode 50]]?
* EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion: [[spoiler:While the Jahns don't have any weaknesses of note, they fall under this for being stopped by only two people (that we know of; whether other islanders helped Mulder and Scully or not is unconfirmed). Sure, those two people are very effective paranormal investigators, but according to Mulder, all it took was an offering of ''chicken cutlets'' to get them to pack their bags.]]



* TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler:[[SeriesFauxnale Episode 50]] of Vinny's ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' streams reveals that the Jahns really just wanted chicken cutlets all along, and they leave when Mulder and Scully force them to. Except one stays behind, attempting to become a human... but he's still morally ambiguous on the whole assimilation front. Not only that, but ''another'' Jehn (and maybe a Jahn) assimilate Jack&Jill, casting doubt on whether all of them are truly as benevolent as the ending would suggest. Also, Vinny's attempts to reassure the viewers come off as SuspiciouslySpecificDenial...]]

Nothing comes of this by the next episode, so it's most likely that [[spoiler:the two were either under the Jahn's mind control or lying so they wouldn't be assimilated]].

* SeriesFauxnale: Episode 50 was speculated to be the end, partially because of Vinny admitting that the series had grown a bit stale and partially due to the [[spoiler:Jahn invasion plotline seemingly climaxing at the perfect point]]. Vinny stated (slightly ambiguously) that it wouldn't be the end, but the episode certainly fits the bill somewhat (with [[spoiler:the Jahns [[AntiClimax anticlimatically leaving]] and everything returning to normal, not to mention [[TheyDo Vinesauce and Cling On getting together]]). At the very end, Vinny states that the series would likely end later, and implied that they wouldn't be as frequent.

Vinny has uploaded the full streams of the series to his "Fullsauce" channel [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlc94szfcNDG8-JeCakJui3wihbJ2vbCN here]]. Note that these streams go on for an hour each, and aren't always content-packed. For those looking for a quicker watch, Captain Southbird (a fan of the series) has created condensed versions of each stream, which can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMFv2HcEaYn2C9DdEvKSGd3qIw-QvB8if here]]. Said playlist also includes the highlights of a corruption stream of ''Tomodachi Collection'' (which is treated as canon to a degree), as well as several "best of" videos for the most prominent characters and the series as a whole.

The series has also gained a massive amount of fanart, which Vinny shows off after he streams. Most of it can be found on Vinesauce's ImageBooru [[http://vinesauce.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=tomodachi_life here]] or [[http://vinesauce.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=tomodachi_life_%28game%29 here]]. Beware of spoilers, though.



* AnyoneCanDie: While Vinny has made his eviction/killing powers known, he doesn't use it except to get rid of the most useless islanders. That being said, he has gotten rid of some of the more prominent ones, mainly [[spoiler:Bonzi Buddy (although it's been said that he was merely evicted)]].
** [[spoiler:Played straight with the Jahn Army's assimilation plotline, which several well-known islanders succumbed to. While it was partially averted in that the most prominent of the assimilated (Wario) was saved, it still caused Levi, Balegdah, and Jack & Jill, all of average notability, to be lost.]]



* BreakoutCharacter: It's actually decided by the game, for the most part. If a character has something interesting or weird happen to them (for better or for worse), they will be remembered, gain lots of fanart, and Vinny will focus on them in the future. Conversely, a character that lives an average life will probably be ignored for streams upon end.
* CastOfSnowflakes: No Vineland Island member is alike. You've got original characters made from Vinesauce in-jokes or just for the game, original characters based off of existing franchises, characters taken from all kinds of media (mainly video games and TV), real-life celebrities, generic characters from Mii-making instruction sites that are given much more character, a few anthropomorphic foods and animals, and, of course, Vinny himself.

** The ''Tomodachi Collection'' island is worse. Nothing like a place where your head could ''fall off onto the floor'' and it would only be a minor inconvenience.



* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: In total, the series has had around '''70''' islanders. Note that not all of them were on the island at once, a few didn't last long, and many of them aren't focused on much, but that's still a hefty amount. It's even higher if you count the ''Tomodachi Collection'' characters or [[spoiler: the 12 or so members of the Jahn Army that arrived in episodes 48 and 49]].
* MilestoneCelebration: Episode 50 was this in an "episode number" way. It was also held on in-game Vinny's birthday, where he turned 30.
* OutOfFocus: A common occurrence to certain islanders, as it's either Vinny's or the game's decision on what islanders are going to have interesting things happen to them. Many others are tossed to the wayside and may not make useful contributions until many streams later.
* TimeSkip: There's always a time lapse between episodes due to the varying times Vinny streams the game. However, nothing happens in those time periods, and the only way the skips are referenced is by the islanders mentioning the last time they saw Vinny. [[spoiler: However, meaningful things have happened offscreen in the time lapses starting around episode 47, including Hotdog's return, the Jahn's assimilation of various islanders, and Mulder and Scully stopping said assimilation]].

-->-- '''The first line of text Vinny encounters'''

This page concerns a subseries of WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} that have since taken on a life of their own - namely, Vinny's '''''VideoGame/TomodachiLife''''' streams. They began on June 7, 2014 (when the game itself was released) and has continued for 50 episodes (with some ambiguity on the series' continuation).

Vinny manages "Vineland Island", an unknown territory inhabited solely by mostly freaks and rejects (often from other series). Their exploits in love, friendship, and other such subjects are the basis of the series; the game's natural [[WidgetSeries bizarreness]] meshing well with his sense of humor. Most of the streams' charm comes from Vinny's reactions to the game (which are often [[LargeHam loud]] and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]]).

!!This series contains examples of:
* BigYes: Vinny lets one out in episode 35 when [[spoiler: Alpaca reveals that she and [=BonziBuddy=] want to have a baby.]]
* CerebusSyndrome: Begins to set in after [[GameBreakingBug the]] [[TheCorruption Isaac]] [[ResetButton incident]]. Vinny is now convinced there's a conspiracy on the island to keep his Mii single, and everyone is in on it. Ever since, he hasn't trusted any of them, especially not Isaac or Jesus. In his rage, he now seeks to purge all memes from the game.
