33 | !!Tropes associated with Extra Credit Studios include: |
34 | * BlackAndGrayMorality: At their darkest. |
35 | * CallBack: Their shows expect you to have excellent memory of a lot of the gags from the previous episodes, lest you suffer from a strong case of ContinuityLockOut. |
36 | * ContinuityNod: Even in their more "sketchy" type of shows will there be references to past events. |
37 | * DeconstructiveParody: To quote founder Mark Cope: |
38 | -->'''Mark:''' We come from a place where there’s nothing we like more than making fun of things — people’s choices, or the ridiculous things they get into — and [[{{Deconstruction}} pointing out the ridiculousness of it]]... That’s what these shows are. Let's take something everyone takes for granted and treat it very real. |
39 | * {{Dramedy}}: A majority of their shows. |
40 | * GreyAndGrayMorality: Surprisingly. |
41 | * RapidFireComedy: Just when you think you've got one joke, it's onto the next one already. |
42 | * ReferenceOverdosed: {{Shout Out}}s can easily be missed. |
43 | * SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: In the middle, dipping into the cynical side more often that into the ideal side. |
44 | * VillainProtagonist: Yeah, their main characters are ''not'' nice people. |
