14	----
15	!!This series contains examples of the following tropes:
16
17	* TheSeventies: When the events of the first film take place.
18	* AfterTheEnd: The setting of the fourth film is this, plus TheApunkalypse.
19	* {{Angrish}}: "Fucking dammit shit! Shit! What am I doing here, anyway? Shit! This bullshitting job is fucking me to shits!"
20	* AnArmAndALeg: Many members are cut off in the cruel rampages.
21	* AxCrazy: The Karls don't need any detailing other than "anyone who appears, they will kill".

23	%%* BeardOfEvil: Karl Jr. in ''Infantry of Doom''.
24	* {{BFS}}: Big Fucking Cleaver.
25	* BodyHorror: The Karls' rotting skin.
26	* BullyingADragon: ''Mother Hold My Hand'':
27	-->'''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob:''' Why do people keep confronting him?! [[ObviouslyEvil He looks like the word murderer]], and he has a weapon! For God's sake Germans, walk away!
28	* TheButcher: The nickname of the VillainProtagonist.
29	* ClusterFBomb: Appropriately enough, given the title. ''Infantry of Doom'' is especially rife with these.
30	* CoolMask: Karl Jr.'s face plate, which his followers have replicas of in ''Infantry of Doom''.
31	%%* DecoyProtagonist: Everyone.
32	* DolledUpInstallment: ''Nikos the Impaler'', another Andrea Schnass project, is sometimes known as ''Violent Shit 4''.
33	* DontGoInTheWoods: The first two movies are primarily about a guy ambushing whoever comes in the forest to gruesomely murder them. The other two have more varied settings.

38	* GainaxEnding: The first movie, that has Karl entering a church and after looking at Jesus fatally giving birth.
39	* {{Gorn}}: And ''HOW''. The movie is basically described as a stag reel of over-the-top death scenes with some ExcusePlot in-between.
40	* GratuitousEnglish: The title. For the record, the words "Violent Shit" would translate into German as "''Gewalttätige Scheiße''".
41	* GroinAttack: A series trademark.
42	* GunsAkimbo: Karl Jr. shooting up a theater in ''Mother Hold My Hand''.
43	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Bisections are also a common death method.
44	* HooksAndCrooks: A fishing hook, to the balls, in ''Mother Hold My Hand''. Ugh. And tons of mutilations via hooked chains in ''Infantry of Doom''.
45	* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: ''Mother Hold My Hand'':
46	-->''"My boy, the time has come for you to hunt humans instead of animals."''
47	* ImAHumanitarian: In the first movie, Karl Sr. eats some of his victims.

54	%%* MadScientist: Doctor Senius in ''Infantry of Doom''.

56	* MisterSeahorse: Karl Sr. gets pregnant... somehow.
57	* {{Mooks}}: The Karls' followers in ''Infantry of Doom''.
58	%%* MurdererPOV
59	* NailEm: After being sliced across the face in ''Mother Hold My Hand'', Karl Jr. just seals the wound with a staple gun.
60	* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: ''II: Mother Hold My Hand'' and ''III: Infantry of Doom''.
61	* OffWithHisHead: Many of them, including with a guillotine built for several people at once in the third movie.
62	* ParentalIncest: ''Mother Hold My Hand'' has strong vibes of this in Karl Jr.'s adoptive mother.
63	* PsychopathicManchild: Karl Jr. in ''Mother Hold My Hand'', as highlighted by his dialogue is very childish.
64	* RandomEventsPlot: There is no rhyme or reason for whatever happens in between the deaths.
65	* SelfMadeOrphan: Karl Sr. killed his mother at the behest of a demon, possibly {{Satan}} himself.
66	* SerialKiller: Of the masked AxCrazy slasher variant.
67	* SequelEscalation: After two films with a killer slicing up random people, the third film introduces an army of MalevolentMaskedMen, zombies created by a MadScientist and ninjas.
68	* ShovelStrike: A victim is partially decapitated with a shovel in ''Mother Hold My Hand''.
69	* SoundtrackDissonance: During the forest ninja fight in ''Infantry of Doom'' this [[https://youtu.be/7tvV5h4A4II?feature=shared calming, whimsy music plays]] while the characters fight and kill the ninjas in very gory ways, including sticking a knife through the head of one and [[OffWithHisHead kicking his head off]] sending it flying spinning and stab another ninja to death, and the [[DiagonalCut Vertical Cut]] kill.
70	* SpitefulSpit: Leads to character getting run through with spears in ''Infantry of Doom''.
71	* StockWushuWeapons: In ''Infantry of Doom'' of all places, where the group of inexplicable ninja use martial arts and a set of traditional weapons such as dao, butterfly knives and hook swords.
72	* TraumaticCSection: A pregnant Karl Sr. lets his son out by ripping himself open.
73	* TrilogyCreep: End credits for the third film tells that it's the end of the trilogy. Cue the fourth film in 2010.
74	* VersusTitle: The fourth movie, whose subtitle is ''Karl the Butcher vs Axe''.
75	* VillainProtagonist: In a way, it's a VillainBasedFranchise, although there is more than one Karl the Butcher.
76	* YouDontLookLikeYou: Karl the Butcher Sr was a fairly normal looking person with normal attire (though granted, his face started to decay as the film progressed), but in the third film, his appearance is so radically different (an undead looking guy clad in armor and a cape) that you have to read the film's synopsis to know that it's him. Same goes to Karl the Butcher Jr who looks like a barbarian (and surprisingly also like Sandor Clegane from ''Series/GameOfThrones'').
