4	FanFic/BHF5 (abbreviation of Bounty Hunter Force 5) is a mashup fanfiction that combines characters from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''Franchise/StarWars'', and the authors' own twisted minds. Written in transcript/stage direction format, it is full of absurd meta humor [[NoFourthWall and so much fourth wall breaking that its repair costs are higher than the GDP of some countries.]]

7	----
8	!!The fanfiction series contains examples of:
9	* AlliterativeName: Daivahn Dü.
10	* BizarroFiction: Characters levitate, use [[InsaneTrollLogic crazy thought processes]], authors frequently hop in to give long speeches about rock and roll, and most of the absurder episodes are [[AllJustADream erased from canon with the wave of a hand]], among many, many other things.
11	* CanonDefilement: Even to its own canon: Dead characters brought back to life with [[HandWave the wave of a hand]], characters frequently act different than the original content (usually [[PlayedForLaughs played for laughs]]), things are [[RetCon retconned]] in madly, with backstories intersecting, leapfrogging, and doubling back on themselves. Note: Please do not move this to YMMV, as this is fully acknowledged and intentional.
12	* CharacterizationMarchesOn[=/=]{{Flanderization}}: Jango Fett started as a bland, sane commander, Z-Man as a cool guy, and TR as a somewhat random and foolish comic relief. Over time, Jango became more crazy and bipolar, Z-Man became the [[OnlySaneMan most sane guy there]], and TR became the protege of Ralph Wiggum.
13	* CloudCuckooLander: TR.
14	* {{Crossover}}: ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''Franchise/StarWars'', and whatever characters from whatever games/movies/music the authors have been enjoying that week.
15	* TheDitz, TooDumbToLive, ChaoticStupid, and basically all the other stupid tropes are TR, to the max.
16	* EarnYourHappyEnding: PlayedForLaughs at the end of ''Chow Mein''.
17	--> '''TR:''' Well, it's Independence Day. A time of fireworks and county fairs. Even though like 99% of the Earth was destroyed in that meteor.
18	* GagSeries: Most plot segments originate as a setup for a funny "bit" the authors want to do, and are [[PlotHoles weakly chained together in order to be at least somewhat comprehensible]].
19	* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: At the end of ''Chow Mein'', the big bad guy turns out to be Jason Voorhees, holding the thing that's been causing all the horror movie energy right after a fake out. Neither him nor the MacGuffin were ever mentioned previously and both are destroyed immediately.
20	* GirlOfTheWeek: For the first few episodes, Bart would have a new girlfriend each week. Some of them ended up as recurring characters. Namely Sarah, Gena and Rose, respectively.
21	* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Occasionally [[PlayedForLaughs played with,]] for Dengar, either unconvincingly or giving a view of his thought process.
22	--> '''Z-Man:''' No psycho killer?\
23	'''Dengar:''' Well, there’s Dennis and TR, but no Bart. TR said something about him and someone breaking up for lying, a flying Krayt Dragon abduction, and Bart jacking Dennis’s motorcycle. But no psycho killer.\
24	'''Jango Fett:''' I thought you were supposed to have a good memory.\
25	'''Dengar:''' Well, yeah, but it’s… occupied by something at the moment.\
26	'''Jango Fett:''' What '''kind''' of “something”?\
27	'''Dengar:''' You know… bounty hunting… gun… manly… stuff… [In his head.] They call me Hell! They call me Stacy! They call me Her! They call me Jane! That’s Not My Name! That’s Not My Name!...
28	* HypocriticalHumor: Used sometimes
29	* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Averted, both the creator and secondary author are male.
30	* MacGuffin: ''The Dorky ----- Of Destiny'' revolves around this. We the reader never actually learn what the Dorky ------ is.
31	* MetaFic[=/=]NoFourthWall: The fourth wall being BROKEN is frequently averted to.
32	* MundaneSolution: In the beginning of ''The Dorky ----- Of Destiny'', The CIS trio have to retrieve the MacGuffin rigged by security beams. Rose simply sets off the alarm and shoots all the oncoming guards. Which is fair, since their break-in wasn't exactly stealthy.
33	* NoodleIncident[=/=]NoodleImplements: Used frequently for comic relief, such as in this example:
34	-->'''TR:''' Going up!\
35	'''Bart:''' This better be fast. I've had a phobia of elevators ever since-\
36	'''Dengar:''' Yeah, yeah, we know. When Maggie got hold of non-safety scissors while you were transporting a crate of live mongooses up the Empire State Building.
37	* OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs: Sometimes alluded to, including one scene where Jango asks the guy who writes down all their adventures if he's getting all this.
38	* OriginalCharacter: Z-Man, TR, Terk, Harvey and Rose, Gena, Sarah, most minor bit parts.
39	* ScriptFic One of the most defining characteristics
40	* SelfInsertFic: Both the authors (somewhat caricatured) frequently appear as themselves and talk directly to the characters, sometimes even bearing on the plot.
41	* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: Dengar suffers this when he eats at a five star restaurant in Bart Simpson Vs. The World. Luckily, it turns out to be a trap so he doesn't end up having to pay.
42	--> '''Dengar:''' YEAH, THERE'S A PROBLEM! THERE ARE MORE ZEROES HERE THAN AT A STAR TREK CONVENTION!
43	* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVsSeriousness: A lot of episodes try to follow a cohesive or at least actual drama-driven plot, but more often than not it ends up feeling the same old shenanigans. The characters sometimes lampshade this.
44	--> '''TR:''' Finally, the Bounty Hunter Force Five is living up to its name! No more cheesy romance subplots or car-wash fundraisers! We finally get to do some BOUNTY HUNTIN'!
45	%%* SurrealHumor: From TR, mostly.
46	* TakeThat:
47	--> '''Jango Fett:''' Ah, you're full of it. Ghosts are as real as [[PoesLaw creationism is logical!]]
48	%%* ThatsWhatSheSaid: Many times.
49	%%* VampireEpisode: ''Bartie The Vampire Slayer''.
50	* WhoWritesThisCrap: Add in the [[SelfInsertFic self-insertion]] and you have characters insulting the authors to their face.
51	%%* ZombieApocalypse: A subplot in ''Chow Mein''. In ''Mañana De Los Muertos'' it becomes the center focus.
