Square Peg Round Trope. It's for minor characters becoming unexpectedly popular, not series.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The series as a whole is this in Ross Scott's works. He used to only create ''WebAnimation/CivilProtection'', but it took a long time to make new episodes mostly due to the investment of animating everything. So, he created Episode 1 of ''Freeman's Mind'' as essentially a comedy skit/experiment to give his fans some entertainment in between episodes. After he created the second episode during another lull between ''Civil Protection'' episodes, he planned to end it right there, but fans really loved it and demanded more, and now it's one of the most popular machinimas around.

* AmbiguousDisorder:
** Gordon, natch. Paranoid (even before it all went down), violently anti-social, completely lacking in empathy, narcissistic, borderline psychopathic, and suffers occasional hallucinations. Some of this can probably be put down to his drug use. Ross Scott describes him as suffering from "paranoia, egomania, mild schizophrenia", and the video descriptions for each episode call him "a neurotic individual".
** Similarly, Gordon puts down a lot of the strange behaviour of the guards and other scientists to them having Asperger's or similar disorders.

** Episode 47 gets hit hard with this. It's during this particular episode that Ross Scott allowed a friend of his to play around with sound effects from other games and such, and implement them into this episode. Such changes include the different gunfire sounds for Freeman's weapons, headcrab voices taken from Half-Life 2, and even much more realistic explosion sounds for tank fire. While some found these sound tweaks to be decent, others found it distracting, and out-of-place, after having watched the series through stock sounds for 46 episodes. Afterwards, Ross chose to just go back to stock sound completely, but episode 47 ends up leaving the new sound effects intact; now making it seem even more out-of-place if the viewer feels distracted by the one-off sound tweaks.
