| 11 | !Main episodes |
| 12 | [[folder:''Animator vs. Animation (I)'']] |
| 13 | * At one point the Animator draws a knife to attack victim with, but then scribbles it out and uses a shuriken instead. |
| 14 | * How does the Animator end the fight? [[BoringButPractical By simply closing the document without saving.]] |
| 15 | [[/folder]] |
| 16 | |
| 17 | [[folder:''Animator vs. Animation II'']] |
| 18 | * The Chosen One killing AIM by throwing the open AIM window at him, [[HisNameIs right before the Animator is about to be told how to defeat his creation]], can be seen as darkly hilarious. |
| 19 | * How is the Chosen One, an unstoppable OneManArmy who curb-stomped his way throughout the computer, defeated? Avast! Antivirus. |
| 20 | [[/folder]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | [[folder:''Animator vs. Animation III'']] |
| 23 | * The Animator smacking the Chosen One aside in Microsoft Word with a over-sized "POW!" |
| 24 | * The Dark Lord getting thrown into a Minesweeper game and, instead of walking/flying to the top of the screen so he could get out, ''actually tries to beat the game''. The Chosen One blew the whole thing up by throwing Firefox into it. |
| 25 | * The Animator trying to finish his game of Solitaire while the other characters fight to the death. It goes so far he doesn't notice ''[[StuffBlowingUp the gigantic Minesweeper explosion on the right]]'' that almost killed the Dark Lord, thus giving the two stick figures a perfect opportunity to team up. |
| 26 | ** Earlier, he tries to continue the game while the Chosen One and Dark Lord are fighting within it. As they start blowing up his cards, he simply starts a new game right as the Chosen One is about to hit the Dark Lord with a card, causing the card to vanish and prompting The Dark Lord to just punch him. Then he drags them outside the game window--just dropping the Chosen One and carefully placing down the Dark Lord--like a parent telling his children to take their fight outside while clearly playing favorites. |
| 27 | * When Clippy asks to help against the animation, [[TakeThatScrappy the mouse hovers over no for a brief second]]. |
| 28 | ** Hell, the very fact '''''Clippy''''', a widely-hated MemeticLoser across the Internet, is capable of kicking ass and giving ''the Chosen One'' a good fight. By all means, he is ''the'' strongest program on the computer, besides maybe the Antivirus. |
| 29 | * In a FreezeFrameBonus, the Animator's Windows username is shown to be [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep "Animator"]]. |
| 30 | [[/folder]] |
| 31 | |
| 32 | [[folder:''Animator vs. Animation IV'']] |
| 33 | * In a way, it's kind of funny how the Animator revives the Second Coming's friends: ''he refreshes the page'', and there they all are, casually playing cards. |
| 34 | -->'''The Second Coming:''' when do we start? |
| 35 | * When faced with the prospect of leaving their window for the first time after the Second Coming broke in, all the fighting stick figures attempt to shove each other out as if they're saying "You first!" "No, you first!" until they all end up falling over. The Second Coming looks exasperated as he approaches the hole and just casually jumps out of it. He had to be the OnlySaneMan since day one. |
| 36 | * What is the first thing the Second Coming does after his friends are erased by Alan? He goes on his Facebook page and leaves insulting comments on various posts, as Alan desperately scrambles to undo the damage where possible. |
| 37 | ** Hell, the very fact TheHero of the series likes a post about giving up on life and tells someone to "go die" is hilarious in the darkest way possible. |
| 38 | [[/folder]] |
| 39 | |
| 40 | [[folder:''Animator vs. Animation V ([=AvA=] Shorts - Season 1)'']] |
| 41 | !!Ep 1: ''The Virus'' |
| 42 | * The animation that the Second Coming helps Alan with is of a flower with legs. It just looks and sounds so silly out of context. |
| 43 | * Between [[NoKillLikeOverkill a swarm of missiles and a rocket launcher]], one of the weapons that Alan and the Second Coming draw to fight [=ViraBot=] is... [[BoringButPractical a fly swatter]]. [=ViraBot=] even pauses its attack when it sees this as if it's wondering, "[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe What the hell...?]]" |
| 44 | * Alan's reaction to his cursor being destroyed is to start frantically tapping the [=ViraBot=] with his pen. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | !!Ep 3: ''The Chosen One's Return'' |
| 47 | * What does the Stick Gang do once the Chosen One kills the [=ViraBot=]? Start bowing before him and worshipping him like a human god. The Chosen One just walks away without a care in the world. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | !!Ep 3: ''The Flashback'' |
| 50 | * The Animator's HeadDesk in the start as he sees the bluescreen on his PC after the Chosen One and the Dard Lord wrecks it. Although you can't help but [[SympathyForTheDevil feel a little pity for him,]] you are at least guaranteed to scoff, as his [[StunnedSilence slow, wordless]] [[VillainousBSOD body language completely captures how doomed he feels,]] especially since you know that this was before his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | !!Ep 4: ''The Showdown'' |
| 53 | * The first shot of the short is the hole that the Chosen One blew in the server to get at Alan's computer. The Chosen One comes out of it with his hands on fire and soars towards the Dark Lord's base on the ocean cliff. The Second Coming and his friends soon follow him out... and promptly plummet into the water, as they all lack flight powers (at present). |
| 54 | * The fight across the internet has a whole bunch of gags. |
| 55 | ** Stop 1: [=YouTube=], which is playing... [[RecursiveCanon AvA Shorts Ep 4: The Showdown]]. The Chosen One slides up against the playbar, rewinding the video, then uses the clip of him firing his EyeBeams to hit the Dark Lord. |
| 56 | ** Stop 2: Twitter. The Dark Lord sends the Chosen One flying down the timeline, one of the posts on which seems to be [[OverlyLongScream Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]] |
| 57 | ** Stop 3: Reddit. The Chosen One manages to throw the Dark Lord into the top of the browser window by ''upvoting a thread a few thousand times''. |
| 58 | ** Stop 4: Google Search. The Dark Lord types in "do a barrel roll", invoking an EasterEgg to whack the Chosen One with the search results. |
| 59 | ** Stop 5: Twitch. The livestream they land on is broken. The chat is full of full of Fs as in "Press F to pay respect". |
| 60 | ** Stop 6: Wikipedia. The Dark Lord lands in the puzzle globe logo, the Chosen One drop-kicks in after him, and it ''shatters''. |
| 61 | ** Stop 7: Discord. The Chosen One throws the Dark Lord to the left side of the chat and then scrolls up to batter him with avatars. |
| 62 | * While the stick figures are busy stopping the Dark Lord, Alan is still back at his computer cleaning up the mess [=ViraBot=] left by dragging the wreckage piece by piece to the Recycle Bin. |
| 63 | * How does Yellow enlist Alan's help? By writing a program to let him go full ''[=AVA=]''. But to make sure Alan knows this is a friendly request, he names the program "[=HesInTrouble.exe=]" with the listed publisher "[=ItsMeYellow=]". |
| 64 | * Although it's awesome to see Alan contribute to the fight against the Dark Lord, the animation constantly jumps back and forth between the Animations' perspective - a giant mouse-pointer wreaking havoc on the landscape - and the Animator's perspective - clicking, dragging, and flinging. And unlike other ''[=AvA=]'' scenes, it doesn't zoom in on the screen during the perspective; it just stays at the normal visual level (and the box for [=HesInTrouble.exe=] isn't even a full-view window, either), making it come across as more humorous. |
| 65 | * Remember the oversized "POW" from ''III''? Alan one-ups that here by smacking the Dark Lord with the desktop's right-click menu. |
| 66 | * In a combination of CrossesTheLineTwice, MoodWhiplash and FreezeFrameBonus, the DarkestHour has arrived as the Fighting Stick Figures are dead, the Second Coming and the Chosen One are badly injured, the Animator has been locked out of the fight and the Dark Lord prepares to invade the Internet and begin destroying computers. He opens the doors leading to the Internet... [[BrickJoke and the Twitch chat still spams Fs]]. |
| 67 | * Straight after destroying some of the [=ViraBots=], the superpowered Second Coming teleports behind the Dark Lord, and gives him one second to turn around and realise what's about to happen. If the Dark Lord had a face, it would certainly switch from confusion to OhCrap. |
| 68 | ** Shortly after, the Dark Lord manages to punch the Second Coming into a cliff; but instead of continuing the attack, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he tries to fly away]]. As expected, it doesn't last long. |
| 69 | [[/folder]] |
| 70 | |
| 71 | [[folder:''Animator vs. Animation VI ([=AvA=] Shorts - Season 2)'']] |
| 72 | !!Ep 1: ''Wanted'' |
| 73 | * When the Stick Gang decides to have a sparring match on Alan's animation software, Alan decides to join them by drawing and tossing a rock at the Second Coming, followed by typing a couple of laughing emoticons. When the Second Coming responds by drawing everyone some weapons, Alan types an evil smile emoticon before the fight begins in true ''AVA'' fashion. When Alan clutches the win by clicking and dragging the timeline part upward to launch the Stick Gang into the ceiling, he shakes his cursor around in a VictoryDance. |
| 74 | * When the Stick Gang is recovering from that finishing move, Yellow tries to help Red up, only for Red to just punch him. |
| 75 | * After several seconds of the Chosen One trying to re-teach the Second Coming how to shoot laser beams by demonstrating his own (with the Second Coming clearly having no idea what the Chosen One is on about), the Chosen One eventually just grabs the Second Coming and drags him through the portal. After the Fighting Stick Figures follow them, the camera zooms out to show that the Chosen One's demonstration burned a massive hole in the animation window. |
| 76 | * The Mercenaries have aim so shitty it's hard not to laugh. The Second Coming manages to dodge their bullets by ''running left and right''. |
| 77 | * Once Ballista manages to [[ItMakesSenseInContext punch a shark into the air]], he briefly stops in one place to defeat another one... only for the first shark to fall down and crush him, leaving him knocked out for several minutes. |
| 78 | * "Hazard"'s Main/LimitedAnimation is quite humorous. At one point, when he deals an amount of punches to the Second Coming, his final attack leads him to ''slant his whole body sideways at him before getting up''. |
| 79 | * Even the series' newest BigBadDuumvirate is not immune to awkward elevator silence, as shown when "Hazard" and Ballista awkwardly stare at each other in an elevator. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | !!Ep 2: ''The Box'' |
| 82 | * When the Fighting Stick Figures sneak into one of the organization's trucks, Red [[TooDumbToLive raises his head to look at the driver]]. Green quickly pushes him down to remain hidden. |
| 83 | * The scientists at the organization that captured the Chosen One and the Second Coming are trying to figure out how the latter's pencil was able to create living creatures. Each time, the one using the pencil just creates inanimate lines floating in the air. Even when he tries to copy the Second Coming's movements, he still just gets lines. |
| 84 | * When victim shoves his hand into the Chosen One's chest in the box, the latter just calmly moves his arm out of the way. Then victim starts punching the Chosen One in the face repeatedly, but he barely reacts to his attacks. |
| 85 | * As the Mercenaries watch victim fight the Chosen One, they turn out to be incredibly bored. "Hazard" apparently ''fell asleep'' judging by [[CatchingSomeZs the Z's]] he's emitting. |
| 86 | * The worker testing the pencil draws [[TerribleArtist a hilariously bad]]... ''[[CartoonCreature something]]'' before posing as if saying, "Check this out!" Another worker {{facepalm}}s at this. |
| 87 | * While everyone is watching the Chosen One's memories after a device is attached to his head, the footage suddenly turns into static. It turns out that the Chosen One tried to stop the video by banging his head on the ground. |
| 88 | * When victim discovers that Yellow once summoned the Animator, he has his workers print a ton of wanted posters of Yellow. This effort ''immediately'' goes to waste when one worker sees surveillance footage of Yellow exiting a truck on company grounds. |
| 89 | ** Not to mention the idea of the driver (who didn't know that he was transporting the others) getting a raise for something he wasn't aware of doing is hilarious. |
| 90 | ** Additionally, Red does funny kung fu poses after exiting the truck, apparently way too proud of himself. |
| 91 | [[/folder]] |
| 92 | |
| 93 | !Special episodes |
| 94 | [[folder:''Animation vs. Minecraft'']] |
| 95 | * The Second Coming headbutting the wooden block. |
| 96 | * The way the ''Minecraft'' block passes from figure to figure: |
| 97 | ** The Second Coming willingly gives it to Green so he can try it, only for Green to run off with it. |
| 98 | ** Blue sneaks up from behind Green and grabs it while the Second Coming is shaking Green's hand. |
| 99 | ** Yellow ''leaps over Blue's head from offscreen'' and grabs the block while Blue was holding it up. |
| 100 | * When the stick figures are essentially playing Creative Mode at the beginning, Blue tries growing plants with bonemeal, and ends up getting launched into the air by a rapidly growing jungle tree. |
| 101 | * A Creeper [[StealthHiBye sneaks up on the stick figures]]. [[DelayedOhCrap They take a few seconds to react and only do so when the Creeper is about to blow up.]] |
| 102 | ** Made better by the fact that the Creeper ends up standing right in front of Yellow, [[FailedASpotCheck yet he doesn't notice it any sooner than the others]]. |
| 103 | * In Storage, pay attention to the file names -many of them correspond to what is happening at the current moment. |
| 104 | * During Herobrine's beatdown on the Second Coming, a flashback plays which goes over the scenes which showed Red being a caring person who hung out with his friends. The only problem is that, at the same time, he had barely any appearances in the series, meaning that Alan had very few scenes to work with. Alan and DJ end up lampshading this in [[DVDCommentary the reaction video]]. |
| 105 | * The fact the entire animation happened from around 6:30 AM to 6:45 AM, which just makes you wonder why the stick figures were awake so early in the morning while also gives some insight on why the Second Coming builds a house to sleep in. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | [[folder:''Animation vs. [=YouTube=]'']] |
| 109 | * A bit of Fridge Humor with the fact that the original ''Animator vs. Animation'' being played by the Website/YouTube face means that it was tagged as one of the best videos on [=YouTube=]. Consider that the playlist being used was compiled by ''[[ItsAllAboutMe Alan himself]]''. |
| 110 | * When the "Drag Vac" ad appears - right in the middle of the fight - ''everyone'' gets annoyed; [=YouTube=] {{Facepalm}}s, Green [[{{Headdesk}} bangs his head against the ground]], and the Second Coming's gestures just scream [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe "Are you kidding me?!"]]. [[ATruceWhileWeGawk None of them use this interruption to their advantage in the battle.]] |
| 111 | ** Bonus points for Green and the Second Coming heading towards the "Skip Ad" button once they're done reacting, only for a very disgruntled [=YouTube=] to zoom in front of them and hold up a hand as if to say "Nope, ''I'' got this". |
| 112 | ** The vacuum ads themselves, with their [[{{Pun}} sucky]] [[OurSloganIsTerrible slogans]]. |
| 113 | --->'''[=WeSuck=] Vacuums ad voice''': Try [=WeSuck=] Vacuum today, because we suck more than any of our competitors! |
| 114 | --->'''Drag Vac ad voice''': Introducing 'Drag Vacs.' Because life... is a drag. |
| 115 | ** The banner ads for the same companies have different slogans, and they're no better: |
| 116 | --->'''[=WeSuck=] Vacuums banner ad''': Our vacuums suck. Real hard. 30 day money back guarantee. |
| 117 | --->'''Drag Vac banner ad''': As life drags on, so can your vacuums. |
| 118 | * One of the videos [=YouTube=] attacks with is the [[MemeticMutation famous clip]] of a giant panda and her cub. After some momentary bemusement at a seemingly peaceful video of a sleeping panda, the stick figures proceed with caution... then the baby panda sneezes, causing the mother to flinch and trip up the stick figures once again. |
| 119 | * [=YouTube=] screaming in sync with the "David After Dentist" video after their hand is hit with a Drag Vacs ad. |
| 120 | ** Also, one could say that the stick figures ''[[PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel smashed that like button]]''. |
| 121 | * At one point [=YouTube=] starts up a ''VideoGame/StepMania'' video. There is a slight beat before the arrows come up, dragging the sticks to the top of the screen and then pummelling them while they're up there, [=YouTube=] laughing smugly at it. |
| 122 | * Heck, the video attacks in general. It's pretty hard to not laugh at the stick figures getting beaten up by famous [=YouTube=] celebrities such as {{WebVideo/Smosh}}, Keyboard Cat, and even WebAnimation/TheAnnoyingOrange! The fact that the celebrities don't notice the sticks, as these ''are'' pre-recorded videos and all, makes things even more hilarious. |
| 123 | * After the other stick figures enter following [=YouTube=]'s defeat, once they confirm Green and the Second Coming are OK, Blue refreshes the page and Red begins scrolling through the playlist. Cue Green and the Second Coming [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere getting up and bolting out of the room]], to everyone else's confusion. |
| 124 | * Even if Green and the Second Coming seem pretty distressed, it's hard not to at least chuckle at [=YouTube=] literally celebrating refreshing its webpage by playing several videos of people cheering, including the MemeticMutation "Numa Numa" song. |
| 125 | * At one point, the Second Coming [[RussianReversal hits YouTube with the subscribe button]]. |
| 126 | * If you type in the URL that appears at the top when Green uploads himself as a video, you'll see that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z9qOlZFn8Y said video]] [[DevelopersForesight actually exists,]] but it's unlisted and significantly longer. It consists of Green struggling around in the [=YouTube=] player for several minutes, and at one point pulling out a phone and [[BeyondTheImpossible watching the very video he's in at that moment.]] (It's likely that Alan had to make and upload this video so he could use it in the full animation, and that he had originally planned that segment to be longer than it was in the final cut.) |

| 129 | [[folder:''Animation vs Pokรฉmon'']] |
| 130 | * Falkner's defeat text. |
| 131 | -->"[[ARareSentence I lost to a stick figure]]." |
| 132 | * Upon seeing a couple of jerks trying to push a Slugma into a lake, Heracross tosses ''them'' into the lake. |
| 133 | * After conceding defeat and trying to return to the game, Ethan stops in his tracks in shock upon seeing the Fighting Stick Figures [[BrickJoke still sitting on the couch.]] Green even waves at him. Reaches CrossesTheLineTwice when you consider that they saw the entire preceding battle, including the Second Coming ''almost being incinerated'', and none of them lifted a finger to help. |
| 134 | * At the very end, the Animator finally returns with his lunch. He goes to take a bite, only to drop his fork in surprise when he sees the "League Champion! Congratulations!" screen with the Second Coming. |
| 135 | ** During this, the Second Coming notices the Animator arriving, [[OhCrap attempts to hide behind his Feraligatr]], until slowly coming back out and [[OhCrapSmile waving his hand at him sheepishly upon getting spotted]]. |
| 136 | [[/folder]] |
| 137 | |
| 138 | [[folder:''Animation vs Super Mario Bros.'']] |
| 139 | * The first Mario's increased annoyance with the Second Coming interrupting his game is hilarious to see, especially when the game registers the Second Coming as an enemy, who accidentally damages Mario when trying to shake his hand, and later on accidentally stealing his power-up mushroom. |
| 140 | [[/folder]] |
| 141 | |
| 142 | [[folder:''Animation vs. Arcade Games'']] |
| 143 | * When Red plays ''Breakout'', he misses the ball [[EpicFail on the very first bounce]]. |
| 144 | * You'd expect Green, with his history of being an InstantExpert, to do better; but it takes him five seconds to die in ''Space Invaders''. |
| 145 | * Yellow does incredible in ''Tetris'' as he quickly stacks the blocks when all of a sudden, the next block is replaced by a log from ''Frogger''. By the way Yellow is frantically mashing the buttons while looking up in confusion, you can tell that this ''isn't'' supposed to happen. |
| 146 | * When Yellow plays ''Pong'', his paddle is replaced by the line block from ''Tetris''. Yellow is unable to play ''Pong'' at all as the block falls and just sits at the bottom. For extra irony, Yellow really needed that block earlier in ''Tetris''. |
| 147 | * After clearing a level in ''Pac-Man'', The Second Coming rushes to catch Yellow while completely ignoring Red falling in front of him. |
| 148 | * The Stick Figures have to squat when they arrive in ''Frogger'' to avoid the cars, causing all of them look like frogs. |
| 149 | * Q*bert does ThatRussianSquatDance when he's about to leave ''Tetris'', which is followed by a character from ''Tetris'' doing the same dance. |
| 150 | * Donkey Kong is shocked when Q*bert eats Lady. When Q*bert glares at Donkey Kong, DK grins nervously as he rolls a barrel. |
| 151 | * ''Donkey Kong'' is infested with enemies from ''Mario Bros.'', so you'd think the Stick Figures will have a real fight in their hands. Then Yellow manages to instantly win by just throwing the hammer at Donkey Kong. |
| 152 | * Beating ''Donkey Kong'' causes everyone to end up in ''Pong'', where Q*bert falls and lands on the ball as it's moving around. The line block from ''Tetris'' [[BrickJoke is still there too]]. |
| 153 | * When everyone arrives at Q*bert's game, Q*bert spits out Lady, who's shivering while either sweating profusely or covered in drool. All of the arcade game protagonists are visibly concerned. |
| 154 | * The frog from ''Frogger'' gets crushed by a ''Tetris'' block before it can even do anything. Even Lady proves to be more of a threat, and she was just a DamselInDistress in her home game. |
| 155 | * Yellow knocking Q*bert off his platform with a Pong paddle, then proceeding to shoot the hell out of the orange sucker ball. |
| 156 | * When Q*bert spits out the Stick Figures he swallowed earlier, he has a little trouble spitting out Red. |
| 157 | * Since Pac-Man doesn't have hands, he applauds by clapping his mouth to make the "wakka wakka" sound. |
| 158 | * Red can be seen half-heartedly clapping at the very end after not moving at all. |
| 159 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj8ER1m3llY DJ cannot handle Q*Bert's]] [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph potty mouth]]. |

| 162 | [[folder:''Animation vs. Math'']] |
| 163 | * As Euler's identity dons his makeshift mecha suit, made out of ''his own clones'', he lets out a battle cry that is so funny. |
| 164 | [[/folder]] |
| 165 | |
| 166 | [[folder:''Animation vs. Physics'']] |
| 167 | * After getting onto the rocket, TSC is suddenly given a ''[[Film/DrStrangelove cowboy hat]]'' with little explanation other than a clear RidingTheBomb setup later and which actually comes in handy when he's about to crash into a sun. It's later revealed that his future self was creating the objects he needed to reach the end, including the hat. |
| 168 | * TSC gets pranked by... [[MyFutureSelfandMe himself]] and [[ItMakesSenseinContext himself]]. |
| 169 | * A moment of realisation that TSC only has basic knowledge to operate the Einstein-Rosen Bridge by observing his future self operating it, who learned how to use it by the one before him. Which means they'll not likely to use Type III and above since they lack the knowledge to use it and aren't willing to find out what'll happen since it's not part of the loop |

| 172 | !''AVM Shorts'' |
| 173 | !!Season 1 |
| 174 | [[folder:Ep 1: ''The Rediscovery'']] |
| 175 | * After the other stick figures have set up [[{{Understatement}} some]] failsafes so they can quickly neutralize Red should Herobrine return, they give him the Minecraft icon and run for cover. He spazzes out for a few seconds, scrolls through the inventory in the same posture he did when he was brainwashed (this almost gets him shot by Yellow), lands on a spawn egg, holds it up while everyone braces themselves...[[AntiClimax and spawns harmless rabbits.]] Cue everyone standing there stunned and Blue [[DopeSlap whacking a way too proud Red upside the head with his diamond helmet.]] |
| 176 | [[/folder]] |
| 177 | |
| 178 | [[folder:Ep 2: ''The Building Contest'']] |
| 179 | * Red's {{Pun}} with his entry. The excavator that they're challenged to build is labeled "CAT", so he spawns a cat on the arm. |
| 180 | * After Green wins and everyone's applauding him, [[SoreLoser Blue pulls out some TNT and lets Yellow light it so he can throw it at Green's structure.]] Green notices [[OhCrap and dives for it]] seconds before it explodes, which it does just as the episode ends. |
| 181 | ** Not only that, but [[FreezeFrameBonus if you look closely]], Green tosses away his trophy in a panic, and it's about to land right on the Second Coming's head as the episode ends. |
| 182 | [[/folder]] |

| 184 | [[folder:Ep 3: ''The Roller Coaster'']] |
| 185 | * At the very start, when Yellow is playing around with a pressure plate, he breaks a trapdoor and accidentally breaks a block below it, damaging the interface. He promptly panics and tries to cover it up with black wool before [[ActingUnnatural innocently walking away.]] |
| 186 | * The fact that Yellow discovers the minecart by doing something no ''Minecraft'' player should ever do, [[SeriousBusiness digging straight down.]] |
| 187 | * The Second Coming trying to chicken out of riding the titular roller coaster. |
| 188 | * After a series of impressive roller coaster tricks, We pan over to the end of the course where a jump (complete with the closest you can get to rings of fire in a 2D environment) is designed to launch everyone to the final platform. When Yellow finally hears the minecarts, he becomes giddy with excitement as his friend's speed to the jump... [[AntiClimax only to instantly lose their momentum once their minecarts leave the rails and fall into the pit]]. The black outro card even says "[[HashtagForLaughs #minecraftphysics]]" |
| 189 | [[/folder]] |
| 190 | |
| 191 | [[folder:Ep 4: ''Potions'']] |
| 192 | * After setting up the Brewing Stand for the first time, Blue then begins rapidly placing in several different items in order to see if they will have any effects on the Awkward Potion he made, and before he reaches the Magma Cream, among the various items that he tries to use, he initially tries various foods (a beet, a carrot, and an entire cake) before then trying, in a FreezeFrameBonus, a minecart and a boat! |
| 193 | * After making a Potion of Fire Resistance, Blue has fun experimenting with potions. By the time Red arrives, [[DrunkOnMilk he's passed out on the floor]], surrounded by piles of empty bottles and a few full bottles. |
| 194 | * The entire "Superpig" segment. It's basically two and a half minutes of the stick figures getting their assess handed to them by a pig under the influence of almost every positive potion effect ever.[[note]]Specifically: [[TheJuggernaut Strength, Speed, Absorption, Resistance, Health Boost, Jump Boost, Regeneration, Fire Resistance, Night Vision, and Luck. All at level II.]][[/note]] |
| 195 | ** For bonus points, the Second Coming was facing in the direction that Superpig was coming from, but [[FailedASpotCheck either didn't see it coming]] or didn't think to warn Green and Yellow. He also tries to swing at it with a diamond sword and [[NoSell it does absolutely jack squat]]. |
| 196 | [[/folder]] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | [[folder:Ep 5: ''Note Blocks'']] |
| 199 | * The RevealShot that while all the other stick figures were having a Note Block jam session, the Second Coming was just trying to get some sleep. |
| 200 | ** Bonus points: If you look in the lower right corner when the Volume window is open, you can see that it's just past 3:30 AM. Makes you wonder why the Second Coming was the only one sleeping. |
| 201 | ** When the Second Coming silences the session by turning the computer's volume down to zero, once he heads back inside, Blue turns it back up to ''100'' (it started at 50). Green then gives a couple seconds for the Second Coming to let his guard down before [[SensoryAbuse signalling for the others to resume playing, which actually knocks the Second Coming off of his bed and into the ceiling.]] All the Second Coming can do in response is pull the bed on top of him. |

| 204 | [[folder:Ep 6: ''Command Blocks'']] |
| 205 | * Yellow teases Red with a hard-to-get cake, repeatedly teleporting it away from him and vice-versa. Red finally gets a whole pile of cakes from a dispenser, and Yellow is about to [[YankTheDogsChain turn them all into rotten flesh]] when Red catches on. |
| 206 | * In the midst of that, Red sees an armor stand waving at him and it doesn't even phase him. He even waves back! |
| 207 | * The way [[WorldOfChaos everything goes to crap]] after a lightning bolt hits a command block, eventually causing the entire pile of blocks to malfunction. Among the highlights are a giant zombie, a TNT block exploding into baby sheep, [[MythologyGag an upside down rainbow sheep]], chickens pouring out of Green's head, and a creeper riding a bat. |
| 208 | * Yellow and Red desperately whacking the command blocks with their pickaxes. |
| 209 | ** Even better: the [=YouTube=] [[FunWithSubtitles captions]] dub the noise that the pickaxes make when both Sticks are whacking the blocks as a "Takatakatakatakataka". |

| 212 | [[folder:Ep 7: ''[=PvP=]'']] |
| 213 | * The way Green and the Second Coming's feud over building space escalates to a full-on war in under a minute. |
| 214 | * The ending. After being killed, Green respawns back in the browser window he came from way back in ''[=AvA 4=]''. He climbs out and closes the window, revealing that the other stick figures are holding a funeral for him. He climbs up and surprises them... [[CrossesTheLineTwice and they freak out and kill him again]]. |
| 215 | ** The other stick figures have a slime ball in an item frame as a portrait of Green. |
| 216 | [[/folder]] |
| 217 | |
| 218 | [[folder:Ep 9: ''Villagers'']] |
| 219 | * Blue and Green trading with the villagers. It gets to a point where it happens so fast that not only do they draw a crowd of the whole village but they literally start tossing everything back and forth. |
| 220 | [[/folder]] |
| 221 | |
| 222 | [[folder:Ep 12: ''The Killer Bunny'']] |
| 223 | * The rabbit's attempts at killing the Second Coming are ''so bad'' it loops back to being hilarious. |
| 224 | * The final chase towards the Nether portal: The Second Coming and the Killer Bunny run and fight, ending with the rabbit killing himself by jumping into TNT while the Second Coming escapes at the very last second. It wouldn't be funny at all if not for the dramatic opera music that make the scene impossible to be taken seriously. |
| 225 | [[/folder]] |
| 226 | |
| 227 | [[folder:Ep 13: ''The Dolphin Kingdom'']] |
| 228 | * Blink-and-you-miss-it, but once the Fighting Stick Figures flee the Ocean Monument with the Dolphin Queen, the Elder Guardian, left high and dry after the stick figures dried out the room with sponges, actually narrows its eye as if in annoyance. |
| 229 | [[/folder]] |
| 230 | |
| 231 | [[folder:Ep 14: ''Cave Spider Roller Coaster'']] |
| 232 | * When the sticks are escaping the spiders, they wind up using rockets to give their Minecart a boost. They wind up going so fast that they plow through a skeleton who happened to be standing on the track. For a bonus this happens with race at sound effects. |
| 233 | * After fighting Nether mobs, a dragon, normal mobs, a cannibal rabbit, guardians, an entire kingdom of spiders, and them more Nether mobs, the stick figures finally make it back home. They all breathe a sigh of relief...and then immediately destroy the Nether portal with absurd speed, breathing heavily afterwards. |

| 236 | !!Season 2 |
| 237 | [[folder:Ep 16: ''Note Block Battle'']] |
| 238 | * Green's increasingly forceful methods of getting the others to leave, culminating in him ''roundhouse kicking'' Yellow off the platform. |
| 239 | * Just the fact that the other stick figures had a ''chicken'' compete against Green in musical talent. Even after the others joined in, the chicken still held the lead. |
| 240 | ** One might even wonder HOW did they come to the conclusion that they needed a chicken with musical talents due to the randomness of the idea, yet it worked. |
| 241 | ** If you look closely, you'll notice that the chicken bops its head after being given the "Potion of Musicality". |
| 242 | ** After first seeing the chicken in action, Green rubs his eyes like he's thinking "Am I really seeing this?" |
| 243 | *** FridgeBrilliance: "Note Blocks" kicked off with Blue trying to build a statue of Red's chicken ([[FunnyBackgroundEvent which wandered off-screen and didn't come back after the two stick figures discovered the note blocks]]). |
| 244 | * Familiar viewers probably noted the Second Coming's absence and anticipated that the punchline would be similar to the previous Note Blocks episode: the Second Coming would be trying to sleep but the others' music would be keeping him awake. They'd be right, but how he chooses to deal with it this time is as hilarious as it is awesome: he lands between Green and the chicken with ''his own electric guitar'' and plays a riff so powerful that it causes a shockwave that destroys a lot of the blocks and calls down lightning to set a lot of what's left on fire. He then goes back to sleep like nothing happened while everyone else stares at him in StunnedSilence. |
| 245 | [[/folder]] |
| 246 | |
| 247 | [[folder:Ep 17: ''Build Battle'']] |
| 248 | * The Second Coming is visibly having trouble staying awake during the building contests, implying that the Note Block episodes were ''not'' isolated incidents. |
| 249 | * Green's overall shenanigans throughout the episode. He's clearly showing off as his builds are leagues above everyone else's. He does the Fortnite dance when he wins the first round, the others try and blow up his build just like last time leading to him batting away the [=TNT=] with the trophy! You can even see him visually panting as if to say "Not this time!" For the second round, the challenge is a toy robot. Guess what Green does... Well when it comes to his turn, at first it looks like he didn't build anything, Yellow and Blue seem pretty confident only for Green to whistle and in walks a fully functional, fully automated robot that dances! [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, seriously!]] Doubles as a moment of awesome. Yellow is too shocked to stand as Green wins round 2. Red and Blue attempt to blow up Green's work yet again but they didn't count on the robot batting away the [=TNT=], drawing a sword and chasing them! |
| 250 | ** Special Mention goes to the fact that Yellow rigged this round in his favor (being the Redstone Engineer and all), and STILL lost. |
| 251 | * For the robot build, Red just makes an Iron Golem. [[CheatersNeverProsper The others don't even give it a clap]]. |
| 252 | * The other stick figures being completely oblivious to Green and the Wither he accidentally summoned. Either that or they're ''ignoring him on purpose'', which is just as funny. Even when the Wither ''destroys part of Blue's build'', he just casually replaces it and pretends that nothing happened. |
| 253 | * The fact that Red and Yellow are so happy that someone other than Green won that they don't even try to blow up Blue's build, only for it to get destroyed by the Wither Green accidentally summoned. |
| 254 | [[/folder]] |
| 255 | |
| 256 | [[folder:Ep 18: ''Texture Pack'']] |
| 257 | * Yellow and Red swap several textures for the fun, only for them to realize that they swapped so much that they don't know what's what anymore. |
| 258 | * In order to hide their screw-up Yellow and Red actually rebuild the entire appartment while the others were still asleep. This results in Blue getting caught in leaf blocks (cobwebs), Green trying to eat a cake only for it to flip (trap door), and the Second Coming falling on his butt after stretching on his bed (minecart). |
| 259 | * Yellow made the mistake of drawing himself on the furnace UI, which is how the Second Coming catches him. When he, Blue, and Green go to confront him, Red is holding the door shut with a bunch of chests while Yellow is trying to think of how to fix everything. |
| 260 | * Naturally, a fight occurs once Yellow and Red's mischief is revealed. However, the swords have been replaced by eggs and the bow by a bucket which now shoots fish. |
| 261 | * In the end the stick figures acclimated to their current chaotic texture lifestyle by having a dinner textured with swords and TNT. |
| 262 | [[/folder]] |
| 263 | |
| 264 | [[folder:Ep 19: ''Lucky Blocks'']] |
| 265 | * When they see the first Lucky Block, Blue initially thinks it's like those Coin Blocks from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and has Green hold it up so he can smack it with his head. All it accomplishes is [[AmusingInjuries giving him a headache.]] |
| 266 | * Once Green and the Second Coming figure out how to craft more, they learn the hard way that the results aren't always positive. Of the ones they craft, the second Lucky Block spawns a bunch of TNT dropped on a Redstone Block, prompting a MassOhCrap as everyone ducks for cover. After it explodes, it fades from black to them putting out the resulting fires and fixing the interface. |
| 267 | ** On a minor note, they finally found the block for the desktop interface following "Roller Coaster". |
| 268 | * In order to stall the Orb-haunted Yellow, Blue uses his scepter to grow Nether Wart on his head. |
| 269 | * After everyone has been taken over by the Orbs, who's the one who saves the day? A pig Red spawns who is then enhanced with armor, a shield, a sword, a splash potion, and wings. To make it even more hilarious, it actually succeeds! |
| 270 | ** The best part is ''how'' they get it to fight: They feed it a carrot, then drop another carrot on Possessed Yellow's head. And every time the Orb tries to get rid of it, they just drop another one. |
| 271 | * Once everything is back to normal, [[AesopAmnesia the Second Coming shows up with a green Lucky Block]]. Naturally everyone else just runs away after barely overcoming the previous ordeal. |
| 272 | [[/folder]] |

| 274 | !!Season 3 |
| 275 | [[folder:Ep 20: ''The Piglin War'']] |
| 276 | * Blue stylishly makes lunch for himself including sliced watermelon, a cooked chicken, steak and to top it off a cake, while playing music. Only to throw everything aside to eat more Nether Wart, however it turns out he already ate his entire stock. |
| 277 | * The post-1.16 Nether has a whole assortment of different food-like items... and Blue is willing to try ''all'' of them in his hunt for Nether Wart, but ends up finding all of them disgusting. |
| 278 | * The "red-light-green-light" moment when Blue takes his gold helmet on and off and watches the Piglins flip from aggro to docile. |
| 279 | * After the Striders give the Piglins and Blue a ride across the lava, the baby Piglin thanks them by tossing them the entire chest of warped fungi, all while another Piglin notices too late and hopelessly reaches out, as if they wanted to save the warped fungi for later. The way they let their arms hang just screams "Seriously kid?" |
| 280 | * As the others follow Red's sniffer pig into the Nether Portal, the Second Coming's body language makes it clear that [[ThisIsGonnaSuck he is]] ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck not]]'' [[OhNoNotAgain looking forward to this]]. During the journey through all the Nether biomes, he spends at least half the trip with a sword out watching their 6 o'clock. |
| 281 | * Just the fact that, in hindsight, the events of the season were kicked off by Blue running out of his TrademarkFavoriteFood and sneaking away to get more. |
| 282 | [[/folder]] |
| 283 | |
| 284 | [[folder:Ep 21: ''The Witch'']] |
| 285 | * The Witch turned Green, Blue, Yellow and Red into a sugar cane, piston, llama and fish respectively... but they can still fight. Yes, ''a fish, piston, llama and '''sugar cane''' can fight a Witch''. |
| 286 | * While also doubles as awesome, the Pig at the end drinks all of the Witch's potions, and gains superpowers. It's hilariously absurd. Bonus when you realize two powers were made up by Alan, those two being [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Gotta Go Fast]] and [[WebVideo/{{Technoblade}} Techno Power]]. |
| 287 | [[/folder]] |
| 288 | |
| 289 | [[folder:Ep 22: ''Parkour'']] |
| 290 | * The first scene of the episode: on the other end of Purple's nether portal, there's a gap with [[StylisticSuck a half-assed bridging job]]. Purple invites Alan's sticks to follow him to the other end, Red follows through with a less-than-stellar landing at the end... Yellow falls short, plummeting into the void. All the sticks panic and run to the edge... before Yellow lands back at the entrance, and Purple falls over laughing at their presumption. Welcome to [[WebVideo/MinecraftChampionship Parkour Warriors]]. |
| 291 | * The subsequent "First to Three Wins" race has a number of moments with the stick figures all messing with each other. |
| 292 | ** Second map: Everyone's parkouring along a wall using trapdoors. Yellow wins by just running along the top of the wall. Green (who, [[TheAce of course]], won the first map) falls to his knees in despair. |
| 293 | ** Third map: Everyone's jumping on slime blocks. Yellow falls into the void because he didn't realize there was another slime block below the one he was aiming for. He's seen headdesking the ground as the Second Coming celebrates this win. |
| 294 | ** Fourth map: Iron bars. Yellow leaps over the Second Coming, prompting the Second Coming to push him over. Green jumps over them both and wins the round; Second Coming can be seen beating up Yellow as Green celebrates. |
| 295 | ** Fifth map: Green presses a button, and some stone blocks are pushed out of the wall. He, Yellow, and Second coming end up falling because they climbed them too slowly. Purple and the pig have climbed on top of the scoreboard. |
| 296 | ** Sixth map: Piston parkour. Yellow ends up getting pushed into the void by a piston. This time, Purple and the pig are ''behind'' the scoreboard. |
| 297 | ** Seventh map: Ice blocks. The stick figures can't help but push each other off as they slide around. |
| 298 | ** Eighth map: End Rods. While everyone else jumps over them, Blue is underneath treating them like monkey bars. Yellow sees this and pushes Green off in his haste. |
| 299 | ** Ninth map: Boats. Second Coming pushes one boat back causing Green to fall into the water. |
| 300 | ** Tenth map: Chiseled Stone Bricks. This ends up being nothing but everyone grabbing and jumping over each other. After seeing this, Purple decides to stagger everyone for the final tie-breaker challenge to keep them from interfering with one another. (Turns out he had other reasons to separate them, but without that twist this would have been a perfectly reasonable course of action.) |
| 301 | [[/folder]] |
| 302 | |
| 303 | [[folder:Ep 23: ''Titan Ravager'']] |
| 304 | * There's something funny about the fact that the Titan Ravagers, despite being several times the size of a normal Ravager, only drop a single raw beef when they die. |
| 305 | * Even though DJ designed the Titan Ravagers, he was shocked by their size when they appeared in the reaction video. Apparently, his concept art wasn't to scale like Alan and his team thought. |
| 306 | ** Same reaction video had both animators having a laugh about how the ''Minecraft'' characters can immediately transition from having detailed animations to simply [[StylisticSuck gliding across the floor as they walked]], just like in the game itself. |
| 307 | [[/folder]] |
| 308 | |
| 309 | [[folder:Ep 24: ''Lush Caves'']] |
| 310 | * Red and the Second Coming have an argument with each other in the form of pictures, which has quite a number of them. |
| 311 | ** When Red starts shivering from hunger while the Second Coming is just as hungry without issue, the Second Coming shows a picture of him holding a mini-Red crying like a baby. |
| 312 | ** After the Second Coming points out it's Red's fault that they're in this mess to begin with while the Second Coming wanted everyone to just return to Alan's PC, Red says they at least had fun on the parkour course while the Second Coming's idea would lead to everyone ''dying of boredom''. |
| 313 | ** When the Second Coming reminds Red that going to the parkour course led to them about to starve to death in the desert without knowing where everyone else is, Red swats the pictures away and points out that the three-beacon teleport glitch was the Second Coming's idea. |
| 314 | * Red and the Second Coming's argument eventually leads to them fighting each other while they're getting attacked by mobs, but they barely acknowledge the mobs' existence during their fight, regarding them as a minor inconvenience at most. The mobs don't even manage to hurt them even once. |
| 315 | * One of the Husks can be seen approaching the Second Coming from behind, only to stop as if wondering whether it's a good idea to attack him, before deliberately moving more slowly than the Husk behind it. |
| 316 | * The Lush Cave biome featured in this episode hadn't been formally released as of the episode upload--when alexcrafter28 pauses the game, you can see he's in a snapshot. So when he comes across the Second Coming and Red deep within that cave, there's a long beat before he draws an enchanted bow. The easiest conclusion is that alexcrafter28 just assumed they were a new Minecraft mob that comes with the new biome. |
| 317 | ** There is also the response. alexcrafter28 tries to attack them with the enchanted bow and arrow, using it like a normal ''Minecraft'' player would do. [[NoSell Red just effortlessly and casually]] performs an ArrowCatch, and looks to the Second Coming who just shrugs in response, all the while Red catches a second arrow without looking with the same hand that's still holding the first arrow. An amusing showing that the [[PowerCreepPowerSeep average Minecraft player is barely a footnote compared to what the Stick Gang goes through in Minecraft.]] You can almost imagine Red asking the Second Coming "Is he for real?" in response to firing only one, comparatively slow arrow at a time. |
| 318 | * How do they get back to Alan's PC? They invade alexcrafter28's PC and ''email themselves'' to him. |
| 319 | ** The mouse cursor doesn't move for the few seconds between when the email is sent and when the episode cuts back to Alan's PC, making it easy to imagine alexcrafter28 is just sitting there thinking "What just happened?" |

| 322 | [[folder:Ep 25: ''The Ultimate Weapon'']] |
| 323 | * Sobering as it is, what convinces Blue to join King Orange in his kingship? [[ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin Nether Wart]] surrounding his throne. It's the ''[=AvM=]'' version of "come to the [[Franchise/StarWars Dark Side]], we have cookies". |
| 324 | * When Green reveals King Orange's plan to Blue and Yellow, King Orange replaces the relaxing music on his jukebox with a Pigstep (remix) disc before fighting them, apparently deciding he needs to have badass boss fight. After all, [[WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}} a SUPER villain cares about presentation]]. |
| 325 | ** Additionally, this means that either the Beckerverse ''Minecraft'' has an orchestral remix of Pigstep, [[NotSoAboveItAll or King Orange made it himself]]. |
| 326 | * It turns out alexcrafter28 has been looking up "orange and red stick figure in minecraft" on Google since Red and the Second Coming left his computer. For bonus points, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent his other two tabs]] are "stick figures escaped from my game" and "are there stick figures in minecraft". The fact that the former search comes first adds to the hilarity of him at first thinking that those stick-figures were just a new mob. |
| 327 | * At the end, King Orange lands on his jukebox just as the song ends, the impact causing the record to be ejected |
| 328 | ** The fact that not only does King Orange ''have'' a jukebox, but that he finds it necessary to swap the music on it to a more fitting fight song before engaging the trio. |
| 329 | [[/folder]] |
| 330 | |
| 331 | [[folder:Ep 26: ''The Warden'']] |
| 332 | * Why does the Second Coming end up fighting the most powerful mob in vanilla ''Minecraft''? He gets fed up with the skulk sensors going off every time he makes a vibration, [[ATragedyOfImpulsiveness and smashes one]]. Let us repeat: he ''got into an {{Superboss}} fight'' because he was ''annoyed by a skulk sensor''. |
| 333 | * When he communicates with the Warden via music, [[PaintingTheMedium the notes from the flute form miniature forms of himself and the Warden punching King Orange]]. He was basically singing "we need to beat this jerk up" and the Warden agreed. |
| 334 | ** Said music is actually a segment from "Pigstep". |
| 335 | * The fact alone that King Orange, who initially doesn't have any weapons on him, is getting his ass kicked by a Warden. Keep in mind that he almost destroyed the Nether in the previous episode. It would've been NoKillLikeOverkill if he hadn't found the Game Icon, although he lost his staff in the process. |
| 336 | ** During the fight, King Orange slid away from the Warden by kicking off a wall. The Warden detected the kick and started performing martial arts on the wall, only for the Second Coming to turn its head as if to say, "No, he's over there!." You can see the brief confusion that King Orange has from the sight of it. |
| 337 | [[/folder]] |
| 338 | |
| 339 | [[folder:Ep 27: ''Monster School'']] |
| 340 | * When all the monsters noticed Red, you might expect an uproar of some sort to occur... but no, they look away and continue their day as if nothing interesting happened. |
| 341 | * Herobrine [[HaveWeMet seems to suspect that he and Red met sometime before]], only to shrug it off and forces Red to go to his class. |
| 342 | * Parts of the animation [[StylisticSuck features the original animation's cheesy animation]]. For instance, Creep the Creeper's body parts fly all over the place when exploding and he simply puts himself back together, and one of Herobrine's "teleport" animations is just him shrinking out of existence. |
| 343 | * Some of the monsters absolutely ''suck'' at being sneaky. [[ADogNamedDog Spider the... Spider]] keeps on jumping and screeching while sneaking, and Ghist the Ghast tries to hide behind a tree. In the latter, the Steve does a DoubleTake before staring at the camera like he's thinking, "really?" |
| 344 | ** When Steve deflects Ghist's fireball, he isn't even looking her way, and instead of dying from the fireball instantly, Ghist is lit on fire (along with the tree she was hiding behind) and flies all around the place for a few seconds before burning to death. |
| 345 | ** Right after Ghist, [[{{Superboss}} Multus the Wither]] takes his turn and just... [[CuttingTheKnot blasts Steve without any preamble]]. |
| 346 | * After Skellington the Skeleton proves to have awful aim, Blaise the Blaze proves her dominance by killing Steve with fireballs from a distance, then tauntingly nods at Skellington as she heads back to her spot, making Skellington frown. Yes, for the first time in the series since the Facebook emojis from ''[=AvA=] IV'', ''a character's expression changes''. |
| 347 | * The final exam segment has some good points. |
| 348 | ** Red improves Skellington's aim by secretly turning his bow backwards, which somehow ''works''. Turns out that the skeleton was "backwards handed." |
| 349 | ** Red teaches Endie the Enderman to actually fight by tickling him with a feather and causing Endie to hit the Steves on accident. |
| 350 | ** Red prompts Spider to use his silk for mobility by ''[[SinkOrSwimMentor chucking him off a ledge]]''. Easy to imagine that Red did that and the other two not just as motivation but as a bit of petty revenge. |
| 351 | ** While most of the students try - [[CurbStompBattle and fail]] - to battle the Yellow Team, Ghist simply watches the fight [[DirtyCoward and hides in the corner]]. The whole Blue Team, excluding Silvester the Silverfish (who tried to attack Endie and got clocked for it), decides to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere haul ass to the finish line]]. |
| 352 | ** While the monsters on Red's team are pulling Red to safety, Blaise tries to attack them, only for Skellington to reflect ''all'' the fireballs at Creep, who is riding her. As he's passing him, Skellington [[IronicEcho tauntingly nods to Blaise the same way she tauntingly nodded to him earlier]]. |
| 353 | * As Herobrine is clapping for the Yellow Team winning, he turns around to find that they vanished. Considering that Herobrine's usually the one to teleport runaway students back to class, it's pretty ironic for him to be caught off guard because they teleported ''away'' from class. |
| 354 | * The little bit from the DVDCommentary where DJ points out that Endie is doing exactly what he said he could've done earlier on (rapidly teleporting across the area instead of having Spider web across the flying students). It's then [[HandWave hand waved]] by Alan and DJ as ThePowerOfFriendship causing him to learn to do that. |
| 355 | * While fighting King Orange, Endie frees the Second Coming and the Warden from their Netherite prison. The Warden raises his hand to do a high five... then Second Coming has to turn his head because he was looking the wrong way. |
| 356 | ** Also, the very fact the centuries-old monster who has amnesia due to loneliness ''still'' remembers the high-five. |
| 357 | * Mixed with awesome, the fact that Red brought an Enderman, Skeleton and Spider - one [[EliteMook slightly above average]] and two ''incredibly common and weak'' {{mooks}} - to fight King Orange, ''and they're giving him trouble''. One can imagine the frustration of having the powers of Creative Mode yet being unable to defeat three lowly mobs. |
| 358 | ** A "possible explanation" given by Alan and DJ is that King Orange is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who can't bring himself to instantly kill the mobs, something that clearly contradicts [[DeaderThanDead what he did]] to one of his Piglin Brutes earlier on, even if the season finale did confirm his HiddenHeartOfGold. |
| 359 | *** A more reasonable explanation may be that killing mobs at will is one of the few benefits of command blocks that aren't granted by Creative Mode. Additionally, he was rather angry at the time. |

| 361 | |
| 362 | [[folder:Ep 28: ''The Raid'']] |
| 363 | * In the opening advertisement, the stick figures appear one by one each slowly waving a flag representing a country that gets lower shipping rates. Then [[LeeroyJenkins Red]] appears rapidly waving his Philippines flag. |
| 364 | * On seeing Yellow's Command Block, a few of the villagers take him to a secluded forge while Blue starts crafting. The blacksmith makes a staff, Yellow reaches out his hand... and he gives it to the other villagers instead. (Yes, it still needed to be enchanted, but still.) |
| 365 | * Blue makes some swords, offers them to the villagers... and most of the villagers run away. Only three of them volunteer to be warriors. |
| 366 | * During the fight after the prison break, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it detail of a Villager defeating an Illager by shearing his eyebrows off, after which the Illager lies defeated on the ground as if [[TraumaticHaircut the very act of the shaving shamed him into submission]]. |
| 367 | * Yellow shields himself from the illagers' hail of arrows with a barrier that doesn't look like ''anything'' in ''Minecraft''. [[FreezeFrameBonus If you pay attention]], the command that pops up around his block refers to it as "generic shield". |
| 368 | * Yellow increases the height of the Nether Portal so that the [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Titan Ravager]] can go in... but he doesn't increase the width any, so it's still only 2 blocks wide. That's definitely a CheatedAngle. Even better, [[ShownTheirWork the portal on the other end remains a 2x3]], but is hidden just far enough into the ruins of the castle to obscure the Ravager's emergence. |
| 369 | * When the Titan Ravager, Yellow and Blue make their DynamicEntry, the Second Coming and Red are hyped to see their friends come back with a powerful ally... but [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]], Red's teammates look at eachother like "what the fuck?" before shrugging it off and continuing to fight King Orange. They clearly have no idea that Titan Ravagers exist, much less how a stick figure domesticated ''a gigantic beast''. Meanwhile, [[TheStoic the Warden has zero reaction at all]]. |
| 370 | ** Also, until Herobrine joined in two episodes later, the Yellow Team are the guys with the ''least'' context on what the hell is going on - All the stick figures know who King Orange is and what he's planning, the Titan Ravager knows of King Orange and his power, and the Warden was at least warned that he's gonna fight someone. To our knowledge, Red didn't tell the Yellow Team anything, meaning these guys decided to skip school with their friend and ''immediately'' had to fight a PhysicalGod with zero explanation or knowledge on anything. |
| 371 | * Despite the potential FridgeHorror that can kick in from this detail, the fact that Red [[{{Blooper}} just disappears from the episode]] after Yellow tosses him aside can be a little funny. Additionally, "The King" reveals that Red was thrown somewhere close to Green and thus next to the Titan Ravager Village portal - something that ''clearly'' doesn't hold up to what we see in this episode, which would make Red closer to Spider than anything. |

| 374 | [[folder:Ep 29: ''Note Block Universe'']] |
| 375 | * The very idea of the Note Block Universe . Everything, and we mean every single mob, creature, and every other living thing sings and dances (and also flies for some reason). This includes a group of zombies acting like a boy band and a group of villagers acting like they came straight out of a Broadway musical. |
| 376 | * In a world where stick figures don't vocalize at all, hearing Green suddenly being able to speak in note blocks is so abrupt, it's hilarious. |
| 377 | * The Wandering Trader pestering Green. Up to this point, all the mobs and creatures were just performing to their own ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' segment, with Green asking if they'd seen Purple and moving on peacefully once he'd gotten an answer. The Wandering Trader? With his llamas providing a beatbox backing, he is aggressively offering his various wares to Green, who doesn't even bother to give him one note in response and physically shoves him aside when he gets in the way. Bonus points for the fact that as the Wandering Trader gets more desperate to make a sale, his notes get more discordant. |
| 378 | * At one point the Wandering Trader tries to offer Green red sand, which is hilarious given that they're in a mesa biome and are therefore surrounded by the stuff. |

| 381 | [[folder:Ep 30: ''The King'']] |
| 382 | * When King Orange realises the Stick Gang has the ''Minecraft'' Game Icon through a [=YouTube=] videos, he excitedly tells nearby citizens he found the Game Icon... who clearly have no idea and don't care what he's talking about. |
| 383 | * Purple's attempts to impress King Orange when they first meet are... a few fighting moves, acrobatics, and showing off his elytra skills. It's cute, funny and weirdly pathetic all at once, especially combined with King Orange's complete lack of a reaction. You can tell he only agreed to let Purple join him because he took pity on the kid and had no other option. |
| 384 | * Just like his previous appearance, Herobrine can be rather comedic due to [[StylisticSuck his goofy movement]]. He first dodges King Orange's attacks by dancing, then by gliding without even changing his idle stance, and when he's resurrected, he lands onto the ground like a piece of wood, with the sound and all. |
| 385 | * While it's a rather serious and terrifying moment, there's something darky hilarious about how the episode confirmed the Witch is still alive... just so we could see her get sucked into the black hole. |
| 386 | ** Additonally, you can hear the [[StockScream Wilhelm Scream]] once the black hole starts sucking in the Titan Ravager Village. |
| 387 | * Even after ''finally'' getting the nether wart he wanted, Blue's gift is ruined by the Piglin Leader putting some warped fungi on top of it. Thankfully, the gang's pet pig eats it for him. |
| 388 | * After the world of ''Minecraft'' is saved, Red decides to allow the Warden to take his place as a student at Monster School. The montage that plays during the credits shows the Warden absolutely ''destroying'' the sneaking lesson both figuratively ''and'' literally, even knocking ''Herobrine'' backwards with the force of his sonic boom. |
| 389 | ** Also in the credits montage shows that the villagers and the Titan Ravagers have made peace... and are attacking the Witch. |

| 392 | [[folder:''Season 3 In Real Time'']] |
| 393 | New scenes were added to time all the events properly, leading to some {{Funny Background Event}}s with out-of-focus stick figures during each episode. |
| 394 | ---- |
| 395 | * While the Second Coming, Yellow, and Green are chilling on the couch during "The Piglin War", Red does some offscreen experiments with a dispenser and some spawn eggs, accidentally spawning a hoard of zombies. They're quickly dispatched with a pair of Iron Golems, with the two constructs trading a chest bump before wandering off. |
| 396 | * While Blue-turned-piston is still in the Witch's inventory, he keeps getting knocked around and startled by the ambient noise every time the Witch does something before finally putting him in place. |
| 397 | ** Additonally, when the Witch goes through the portal spawned by one of her potions, you can see Blue ''[[GroinAttack land on his crotch]]'' and react how you'd expect him to. |
| 398 | * Green-turned-sugarcane struggled to uproot himself to get anywhere, only ever growing taller and using the grown segments like darts and spinning the extra cane like a staff. |
| 399 | * When two Piglin Brutes are watching the cameras of the Parkour trap, one of them sneezes and the other [[EveryoneHasStandards reams him out for not covering his mouth]]. |
| 400 | * While their reluctance to be the bearer of bad news [[YouHaveFailedMe is certainly]] [[ShootTheMessenger justified]], it's amusing to watch the two Piglin Brutes that noticed Green escaped push each other towards the staircase like "You tell him!" "No you!" |
| 401 | * Purple apparently has NoSenseOfDirection, as he's shown flying around one of the fortress towers looking confused for a while before finally asking the Piglins for directions. The commentary confirms that him getting lost was the HandWave they came up with to justify why Purple took so long in real time to get to Alan's computer. |
| 402 | * Some of the overlapping scenes can make for some amusing moments of {{Bathos}}. For example, the moment when the Warden starts chasing the Second Coming happens to be juxtaposed with Green vibing with the musical zombies. |
| 403 | * It's confirmed that Herobrine walked through the Nether portal and ''immediately'' had to rescue Skellington and fight King Orange. By all means, this means that he has ''even less context'' then his own students, which is funny by itself. |
| 404 | [[/folder]] |
| 405 | |
| 406 | !!Season 4 |
| 407 | [[folder:Ep 31: ''Ultimate Minecart Race'']] |
| 408 | * The sheer SerialEscalation when it comes to minecart scenes is funny in itself. First there was a minecart roller coaster, next there was a chase scene, then an all-out race. Yellow constructed the course, unsurprisingly, using his Command Block Staff as a hoverboard to navigate. |
| 409 | * In the first area of the course, the Second Coming places extra carts and gets chased after Red and Green. Blue sits back and throws a live TNT Block to slow them down, all while doing a showy pose. Too bad he lets his guard down too soon for the underwater segment. |
| 410 | * In the Ice Cave part of the split, Red has the bright idea of using a boat to row on the ice instead of the minecart. It's ''faster'' (and accurate to the game!). |
| 411 | * Having been deprived of a cart, Red pulls out a Horse Spawn Egg to ride on to catch up. While Blue is armed with a Crossbow loaded with a Firework, Red sends the rocket back and blows up Blue's cart. That didn't stop him from downing several Potions of Swiftness to run like the wind. |
| 412 | * When everyone meets back up and is falling to the next part, Red ties leads to Chicken Spawn Eggs and throws them at the others, resulting in everyone else falling slowly to the ground from being tied to chickens while he waits until the last second to do the same with his horse. |
| 413 | * The race comes so close that the photo finish makes it indistinguishable to tell who crossed first, and everyone is arguing on who's taking the gold. Yellow, having no idea, decides everyone wins. The others angrily throw their trophies in response, as they want a definitive winner. |
| 414 | [[/folder]] |
| 415 | |
| 416 | [[folder:Ep 32: ''The Chef'']] |
| 417 | * The short starts with the Stick Gang bored with all the food they're eating until they notice Blue is eating a bowl of ramen. Blue is in a white background eating in slow motion in a style that can only be described as FoodPorn. |
| 418 | * While Blue is making the ramen, one of the eggs he cracks lets out a baby chicken, which he gently moves out of the way without missing a beat. Guess he didn't want to make the same mistake like in the "Omelette" ''Actual Short''. |
| 419 | * When the Stick Gang meet the chef who created the ramen recipe, he reveals he'll trade the Master Cookbook to them as a third-tier trade, but all the food he's requesting isn't available in ''Minecraft''. The Stick Gang offers the Chef lots of emeralds, [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules but the latter refuses]]. |
| 420 | * The stick figures' initial attempt to swipe the Master Cookbook from the Chef for themselves. Turns out [[ChefOfIron the Chef is a better fighter than the five of them combined]], as seen when he wipes the floor with everyone and finishes the fight by whacking Blue with a {{frying pan|OfDoom}}. If not for the [[DVDCommentary reaction video]] clarifying he was trained by Blue's Villager Team between Seasons 3 and 4, you'd be wondering why didn't he do anything in the Illager Raid. |
| 421 | * During the above scene, Green tries to abscond with the feast that was laid out on the Chef's table. The Chef not only stops him, but manages to put the food back the way it was while still fighting. |
| 422 | * After they make their pancakes, Green tries to eat some, but Blue swats his hand away since they need them for the trade. Green's body slumps forward in disappointment. |
| 423 | * Blue, of course, puts [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Nether Wart]] as [[BizarreTasteInFood the toppings of one of the pizzas]] required to win the cookbook. While the Chef doesn't count this as a fail, he's... taken aback by Blue's odd taste when he tries it. |
| 424 | * Green accidentally drops one of his doughnuts into the fire and inadvertently sets all the oil vats on fire. Yellow and Green are desperately running back and forth as they hold their food in the air while the others extinguish the oil fires by covering them with dirt. |
| 425 | * As the Stick Gang checks the food they made, Green pulls out a doughnut that's been burnt to a crisp out of the oil vat. The interface doesn't count it as a proper doughnut, so Blue tries to hide it behind the other doughnuts. |
| 426 | * The Chef initially accepts the Stick Gang's food until he notices that one of the doughnuts is charred black. When he directs them to leave his house, the Stick Gang gets on their knees and clings to him as they beg. The Chef stares blankly into the distance for several seconds before he tosses all of them out of his house and closes the door. |
| 427 | * The stick figures are so disappointed that they spend all night moping outside the Chef's house [[GrayRainOfDepression in the rain]]. Red nonchalantly slashes a Zombie without even getting up while Blue casually shoots an arrow at a Zombie coming from behind. |
| 428 | * The ending ends up being in the category of "ItWasWithYouAllAlong", as the Master Cookbook Blue is finally handed is devoid of pages. The Chef then points to Blue's own book, which he'd been taking notes in the entire episode, revealing that Blue basically made the Cookbook himself. As thanks for the Chef putting them through that whole journey of discovery, Green [[OneHitKO clocks him in the face]] and everyone, minus Blue, eats the food they made. And the episode just ends right there. No ending theme, doesnโt even cut to black, it just ends on the shot of the crew gorging themselves next to an unconscious chef while Blue just stands there processing it all. |
| 429 | ** Additionally, the Chef does the [[MemeticMutation infamous]] ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' death pose as he's knocked out. |
| 430 | * Blue's notetaking flashbacks details all the hard work he put into analyzing each dish, but he takes the process so seriously, he writes down exactly what Red was doing while putting together the taco. |
| 431 | --> 5. Throw the chopped ingredients into the air.\ |
| 432 | 6. Simultaneously pour the grilled beef onto the tortilla, before the chopped ingredients land... |

| 434 | |
| 435 | [[folder:Ep. 33: ''Lucky Block Staff'']] |
| 436 | * The Stick Gang is testing out various blocks on Yellow's MagicStaff. |
| 437 | ** Red uses a Diamond Block and demolishes most of a brick wall. Green uses a Netherite Block and completely obliterates the wall along with some of the ground. Blue uses an Obsidian Block which pushes parts of the brick wall out of place. The Second Coming uses Bedrock, which launches a row of bricks away and stretches out the top part of the wall. Red tries to smash the wall with a White Wool block, but all it does is spawn white wool that bounces him back. |
| 438 | ** Yellow uses an Enchanting Table to grant ''dozens'' of enchantments to Blue's diamond sword, including some that wouldn't work on a sword. |
| 439 | ** The Second Coming is about to attach a Lucky Block to the staff until everyone remembers all the trouble that happened the last time they messed with one of those. [[ImNotDoingThatAgain They all agree not to do it and toss the block away]], except for Red, who sneaks away toward the block. |
| 440 | ** The Second Coming uses an End Portal Frame to make a, well, portal... resulting in him being shocked once the portal exit spawns behind him, resulting in him looking at himself. |
| 441 | ** Red attaches a Monster Spawner and proceeds to create all sorts of MixAndMatchCritters, just like in the "Spawn Eggs" ''Actual Short''. One of them is a Bee [[ActionBomb Creeper]], which is about to blow up until Red gives it a flower. |
| 442 | ** Blue uses a Bone Block to rapidly grow plants, [[CallBack but he accidentally launches himself into the air when he grows a tree beneath him]]. |
| 443 | ** Yellow uses a Piston to create a makeshift pogo stick, which works properly until it extends so far that he's pushed off screen. |
| 444 | ** Blue tries to use a Campfire to cook Green's marshmallow, only for it to unleash a massive blast of fire that reduces the marshmallow and the stick holding it into ashes. |
| 445 | ** The Second Coming attaches an Anvil, but the staff becomes so heavy that he can't even move it. |
| 446 | ** Green uses TNT so the staff can launch more TNT, but this grabs the attention of the Beeper, who almost blows up again until Red pacifies it with a flower. |
| 447 | ** Yellow attaches a Block of Redstone which fires a beam that causes a contraption to move rapidly. However, the staff eventually fires a laser beam that inflicts a DiagonalCut on the machine. |
| 448 | * Since Yellow sleeps while holding onto his staff, Red steals it by switching it with a stalk of bamboo in a flower pot. Additionally, he seemingly ''kisses'' the bamboo, mistaking it for his staff. |
| 449 | * While playing around with the Lucky Block Staff, Red turns a Cobweb into a Chicken, which then gets launched into the air like a rocket, complete with an explosion and the Chicken making a death squawk, followed by some feathers floating down. |
| 450 | * The Stick Gang rides on top of a gigantic Ghast to reach the top of a tower while the Orb-haunted Lucky Block Staff creates a variety of mobs to serve as its minions, with some of them being pretty ridiculous. |
| 451 | ** The first ones the stick figures encounter include a flying clownfish, which harmlessly bounces off the Second Coming's head and gets killed when caught by Yellow's fishing rod, and a chicken, which attacks the Second Coming to no avail before he kills it with a half-hearted kick. |
| 452 | ** One enemy they encounter is a Villager child. Green picks up the Villager by their legs and has Yellow enchant them with Knockback 99. When Green hits a Blaze [[GrievousHarmWithABody with the child]], the Blaze is sent flying out of the tower and vanishes over the horizon. |
| 453 | ** The Second Coming uses his electric boots on a Creeper, [[OhCrap only to realize]] that he just turned it into a '''[[OutOfTheFryingPan Charged Creeper]]''', forcing him to throw it away before it blows up. |
| 454 | ** Yellow ejects a bucket from his Dispenser staff like an empty gun cartridge. |
| 455 | ** When a staff with a Steve head suddenly rises, the others look down to realize it was Red pranking them. The Steve head then becomes a Herobrine head when it gets struck by lightning summoned by an axolotl, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain which gives Red the same powers as Herobrine]]. |
| 456 | ** [[VideoGame/GettingOverItWithBennettFoddy A Villager in a cauldron]] tries to attack, only to helplessly tip over when their staff gets an anvil in it. Blue simply zaps the Villager with lightning while the Villager is struggling to lift their staff. |
| 457 | ** A cow uses an End Portal staff to constantly summon portals and warp around. When Green throws a web string through a portal onto one of the Second Coming's staves, the latter lets go of his staff, causing it to crash into the cow and make it drop its End Portal staff. Green uses the End Portal staff to trap the Cow between two portals before making the portals collide with each other and vanish, leaving the cow trapped in space. |
| 458 | *** Also, a guy who possesses spider powers fights a spotted enemy that makes portals. [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse Sound familiar?]] |
| 459 | ** The one enemy that gives them the most trouble is ''[[AnimateInanimateObject a living rowboat]],'' which puts up an intense fight despite all the staves everyone has. When they finally have it pinned down, everyone smashes it with their staves repeatedly until it turns back into an item. |
| 460 | ** After defeating the rowboat, everyone raises their hands in victory, only to get smooshed when they reach the ceiling. Fortunately, no one was hurt. |
| 461 | * With the Lucky Block Staff defeated thanks to the Beeper sacrificing itself, Red holds a funeral for the latter before willingly surrendering himself to his punishment: getting sealed in a cage of Barriers with nothing but a chair in it. |

| 463 | |
| 464 | [[folder:Ep 34: ''The Prank'']] |
| 465 | The whole episode can be called hilarious, as it's literally about Red's pranks at the other stick figures - more specifically, the [[PieInTheFace Cake in the Face]] - whether they suceed or not. |
| 466 | ---- |
| 467 | * Red's ''successful'' pranks at the Second Coming, Blue and Yellow. |
| 468 | ** When TSC is trying to eat a piece of cake, Red pulls a lever which throws the cake at his face. He then makes a goofy dance with MLG music in the background while TSC [[AngryFistShake shakes his hand]] in a way that more or less means "Curse you, Red!". |
| 469 | ** While making cake, Red tells Blue to look into the chest for an egg... and a cake comes out of the chest. Red does the exact same dance with the exact same music. |
| 470 | *** Before the above happened, if one looks closely, one can see Blue attempting to insert Nether Wart into the cake, before Red moves it out of the way. |
| 471 | ** He then shows Yellow ''an entire redstone contraption'', with a cake in a minecart ready to fly into his face... except it doesn't. Cue Red pulling a cake out of his pocket and throwing it into Yellow's face, [[RuleOfThree and doing the same dance with the same music]]. |
| 472 | * However, [[EpicFail he has more trouble]] with [[TheAce Green]]... |
| 473 | ** His first idea is to trip Green simply so his face could land in the cake and does [[OverlyLongGag the same stupid dance when he thinks he has succeeded]]... only for the music to abruptly stop. Cue Green, who has saved himself by plunging a sword into the cake, looking extremely smug (well, as much as you can with no face and pure body language). To top it off, a ''Minecraft'' cave sound plays when the screen cuts to Green. |
| 474 | ** He then tries to jump Green by throwing the cake at his face when talking to Blue, but Green dodges with the cake landing in Blue's face. Blue just sighs in disappointment while Green claps Red's back in a way that screams "You'll do better next time, buddy". |
| 475 | ** He then tries to prank Green the same way he did Blue, but Green picks up the chest and shoots out the cake into Red's face. |
| 476 | ** While Green is fishing, Red sinks underwater and puts a cake on his fishing hook. Green ''almost'' falls for it, but at the last second sends the cake back into Red's face. |
| 477 | ** Red then tries the CaughtInASnare trick on Green, hoping to throw a cake into his face when he's caught and defenceless... but Green, [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome somehow]], frees and replaces himself with a mannequin. He then surprised Red from behind, causing him to jump back and get some cake on his ass. |
| 478 | *** Becomes even funnier when you realise Red [[LaserGuidedKarma pulled the exact same mannequin trick on Yellow]] in the "Nether Nap" ''Actual Short''. |
| 479 | ** Red then tries to drop a cake from the sky when Green is running by, but Green ''somehow'' pauses mid-run so the cake will barely miss him, before resuming like nothing happened. Red starts punching the couch he's on in anger. |
| 480 | ** He then tries to throw the cake at Green's face when he's sleeping, but Green [[CrazyPrepared trapped himself and his bed in barrier blocks]]. Fittingly, they were also invisible when the cake first hit one of them and only revealed themselves later to explain how Green protected himself.[[note]]It ''is'' true that barrier blocks are invisible in vanilla ''Minecraft'' until you come close to them.[[/note]] |
| 481 | ** Red then puts a cake on Yellow's MagicStaff, which shoots out cakes and fires them like a machine gun at Green. Green, while listening to music on his headphones, blocks them all effortlessly with his shield. |
| 482 | ** Red then tries to jumpscare Green while he's mining by popping out of one of the blocks he breaks. Green quickly patches up the hole he made before the cake can hit him. |
| 483 | ** Cut to Green standing confidently, doing exactly nothing, before a cake comes flying from behind. Green dodges, catches it and throws it back at the off-screen Red. |
| 484 | ** Red then tries to prank Green the exact same way he did the Second Coming, but the cake flies backwards and hits ''Red''. |
| 485 | ** We then cut to Red ''after'' one of his pranks failed, punching the ground in anger next to a cake-faced mannequin stuck in cobweb. |
| 486 | ** Another cut to Red just having a cake thrown at his face. |
| 487 | ** ''Another'' cut to Red lying on the ground with a cake in his face while Green claps his back yet again. |
| 488 | ** The fact Red is obsessed in using a cake just to prank Green, not using anything else like a jumpscare or whoopee cushion to do the job. |
| 489 | * Red's penultimate attempt: A smug Green and angry Red then confront eachother in a forest. They begin a funny and awesome semi-fight where it's just Red throwing cakes at Green while he effortlessly dodges. Once Red lures Green to a good spot, he pulls a lever and sends them both underground, where Green uses his fishing rod to save himself from flying into a pool of cakes. Cue a cave with ''dozens'' of cake-throwing dispensers, Green easily dodging all of them and Red's second onslaught. At the end of the cave lies a throne with a redstone contraption that would set off several cakes at whoever sits on it. Green, [[LetsGetDangerous via actually doing something more than dodging]], traps Red on the throne, with all the cakes flying at his face. |
| 490 | * When Red explains his problems to Purple, he does it via pictures that show off his failed attempts, similar to his and the Second Coming's argument in "Lush Caves". Apparently they're ''physical'' and ''alive'', as when Purple grabs a cake drawing and tries to push it into the face of a Green drawing, even the drawing manages to dodge it effortlessly. And he tries to pull it off so many times he gets tired at the end of it. |
| 491 | * Once Purple explains his idea on how to prank Green to Red, ([[FunnyBackGroundEvent while the Green drawing is freaking out]]) he's excited and quickly leaves the house. So quickly, that he ''jumps out of a window''. Additionally, Purple is living in a gigantic treehouse in the middle of some forest and we never get to hear Red hit the ground, so that was clearly a very big fall that Red took [[ThereWasADoor when he could just leave through the door and climb down the ladder]]. |
| 492 | * And then the final prank itself: Red pretends to invite Green (who is paranoid and constantly makes sure Red won't try to throw a cake at his face) over for a picnic. Except when he's not looking, Red throws life-giving potions (likely the same or at least similar to the Potions of Awakening from the "It's Alive!" ''Actual Short'') to various creatures - whether it be a cow, a chicken, a sugar cane, or some wheat. When he gives them a signal, the four living mobs start shooting out the ingredients necessary for a ''Minecraft'' cake, creating a '''gigantic''' cake that's ready to fall onto Green and Red. Green ''barely'' dodges, and as he prepares to run away, [[ThrowTheDogABone Red shoves a cake into his face]] like he wanted for so long, and [[IronicEcho sarcastically claps Green on the back]]. |
| 493 | ** It's worth to note that the living cow, chicken, sugar cane and wheat aren't one-to-one recreations of what went down in "The Witch"; no, they are turned into ''humanoids'', with human-sized legs and arms (or, in the sugar cane and wheat's case, ''grow out'' arms and legs out of their bodies). Suffice to say, seeing a chicken with extremely long legs and wings is certainly something. |
| 494 | *** Also, the sequence of the four mobs making the gigantic cake is framed like an awesome anime sequence, and the chicken shoots out the eggs by... shitting them out as you'd expect. |

| 498 | [[folder:Animator vs. Animation IV - Kickstarter Video!!]] |
| 499 | * Just the sheer fact that the start of the video starts with Alan trying to animate a stick figure... Only for it to suddenly attack his cursor and ''immediately'' start wrecking his windows, before turning itself into a PC-nuking singularity. All in less than half a minute since the video began, with barely any provocation this time unlike the stick figures of the first three installments. |

| 502 | [[folder:''Blue's New Superpower'']] |
| 503 | * Upon seeing Blue grow a tree out of a dollar, The Second Coming tries to do the same, only for nothing to happen. He then gives his and later on the other Stick Figures' money till they are broke. |
| 504 | * They then decide to sell hotdogs in a van to other stick figures and start driving through various locations with Blue planting trees everywhere, which includes: |
| 505 | ** The middle of a highway, which causes several car crashes. |
| 506 | ** Minecraft with one tree smacking a cow into the air. Also, if you look closely, you'll notice the dollar bills are replaced with Emeralds for this bit. |
| 507 | ** To top everything off, the ''ocean'', with them still driving the truck as if they are still on solid ground with the trees even bobbing with the waves! |
| 508 | * It turns out everything was AllJustADream by The Second Coming, except for the [=#TeamTrees=] movement being real. Then Alan is shown pondering how much money he should donate to the movement. He eventually decides to donate 5 dollars, the lowest amount, only for The Second Coming to change it to '''5100''' dollars. Even better: [[https://teamtrees.org/search?q=Alan%20Becker Alan did actually donate $5100.]] |

| 513 | * This time, Second Coming doesn't just snatch someone's wallet and shove a treat into their hand. When he absconds with Blue's ice cream cart, we cut to Green and Red checking out Yellow's sandcastle. Yellow notices Second Coming approaching and waves... [[MoodWhiplash and a popsicle gets flung into his mouth]], hard enough to knock him down. Second Coming rolls in and continues throwing popsicles at the others before starting to grab their money, and when Yellow tries to stand up, he gets hit with another one. |

| 517 | * In contrast to Yellow frantically trying to retrieve the dollar the Second Coming took from him in ''Blues New Superpower'', everyone is surprisingly chill about the Second Coming throwing popsicles at them and taking their money, almost as if they're thinking "OK, where is he going with this this time?" |
| 518 | * Once again, the Second Coming wakes up to find it was AllJustADream and is not OK with Alan only wanting to donate $5. This time, however, Alan is a bit more prepared for the Second Coming's interference, but less so for the Fighting Stick Figures pushing back, resulting in a brief ''[=AvA=]'' moment. The final amount before Red manages to hit the Next button is over 18 ''million''. Alan's actual donation is $10,200, with the comment "My stick figures almost made me donate way more than this", indicating that they came to a compromise offscreen. |

| 525 | |
| 526 | [[AC:Bob]] |
| 527 | * The Second Coming draws a character named Bob. The problem is, this Bob has an insuppressible urge to slap Green, culminating in him stretching his arms so far that it completely crushes the guy. And ''then'' he moves on to the Second Coming once Green is gone. |

| 540 | * Red is racing against Green and the Second Coming, on a pig via [[TitleDrop a carrot on a stick]], and the latter two riding a cow with wheat on a stick and a dog with bone on a stick, respectively. What's faster than all of those? Yellow piggybacking Blue with [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Netherwart]] on a stick! |
| 541 | * The cow eventually grabs Green's wheat, causing him to crash into a tree. |
| 542 | * One person comments about what happened in an earlier short |
| 543 | -->'''Commenter:''' Dang, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Yellow really punished Blue for killing his Ghast by turning him into a horse]]. |
| 544 | |
| 545 | [[AC:Water Bucket Clutch]] |
| 546 | * Red finds out [[AmusingInjuries the hard way]] that a milk bucket doesn't work the same way as a water bucket. |
| 547 | |
| 548 | [[AC:Color Confusion]] |
| 549 | * Yellow discovers the eyedropper and paint bucket tool in Adobe Animate. He copies Blue's color and makes himself the same color. The Fighting Stick Figures then turn all of themselves blue, much to the Second Coming's confusion. |
| 550 | ** Yellow(?) then proceeds to turn TSC blue, realizes that he still looks different, and then fills his whole head. Problem is, the Second Coming is only used to having a hollow head, and a filled-in head is so heavy that he can't stand. |
| 551 | * Before the coloring shenanigans, we can see Blue (the real one) drawing something. What is he drawing? ''[[TrademarkFavoriteFood Nether Wart.]]'' |
| 552 | |
| 553 | [[AC:Beef]] |
| 554 | * The Second Coming whips up some burgers for his friends, but he can't bring himself to eat his because a cow is watching him. The moment he puts his burger down, the cow steals the Second Coming's lunch and ''[[MonstrousCannibalism eats it]]''. |
| 555 | |
| 556 | [[AC:Autocorrect]] |
| 557 | * While Alan is writing a message to DJ, the stick figures serve as an autocorrect by physically altering the message. At first they do their job properly by fixing spelling errors, capitalization, and punctuation. However, once Green and Yellow chime in, the crew ends up getting carried away and start rewriting the message entirely, leading to Alan typing in all-caps telling them to stop and just let him type. Yellow proceeds to add a period to the end of Alan's sentence. |
| 558 | |
| 559 | [[AC:Hangman]] |
| 560 | * The group is playing Hangman with Alan, raising letters to make their guesses. They aren't successful however, running out of wrong guesses. With Alan's track record with stick figures though, the hangman stick figure comes to life, freaking them out. |
| 561 | * The puzzle they were trying to figure out? It's "MY PAPER CRANE FLEW AWAY", a reference to one of Alan's old, non-''[=AvA=]'' projects. |
| 562 | |
| 563 | [[AC:Power Outage]] |
| 564 | * When the display initially goes dark, Blue turns on the flashlight on his phone, Yellow turns on an actual flashlight, and Red just grabs a ''Minecraft'' torch. |
| 565 | * Turns out Green was messing with the display settings. After a few more seconds, the display starts flashing different colors and Green pulls a DJ Booth out of nowhere and starts playing. Blue, Yellow, and Red start dancing and having a party...and the camera cuts to the Second Coming sitting on the edge of his bed looking defeated as the music booms outside of his little house. For bonus points, the computer time is 11:04 PM. |
| 566 | |
| 567 | [[AC:Fireworks]] |
| 568 | * Among the various call backs to Season 3 of the ''[=AvM=] Shorts'', Blue is seen munching on several Nether Warts. Annoyed, Green smacks one out of his hand... only for Blue to pick it back up and eat it in one bite out of defiance. |
| 569 | [[/folder]] |
| 570 | |
| 571 | [[folder:''An Actual Short'' - 2023]] |
| 572 | |
| 573 | [[AC:The Floor is Lava]] |
| 574 | * After the titular game destroyed some of Alan's important folders, [[PapaWolf including the family photos]], the cursor [[TranquilFury slowly approaches]] Red and Green as they do the body language version of an OhCrapSmile. The cursor then changes from the normal arrow to a hand and chases after them. |
| 575 | |
| 576 | [[AC:Fishing Trouble]] |
| 577 | * Yellow is having a rough time trying to catch a fish while Red, Green, and Blue are excelling at it. He eventually ends up catching one... as in, ''an Elder Guardian''. As everyone began to celebrate Yellow's accomplishment, the Elder Guardian suddenly starts charging up an attack as his lesser Guardians show up to attack as well. Cut to the Second Coming, relaxing on a beach, who gets up to check what the explosion was about. The video ends when his friends were just about to crash down onto him. |
| 578 | |
| 579 | [[AC:Bottle Flip]] |
| 580 | * The Fighting Stick Figures attempt to one up each other at a game of bottle flip using containers from ''Minecraft''. It starts relatively simple with Red flipping a potion bottle, then Green flips a water bucket, then Yellow flips a brewing stand, then Blue attempts to flip a ''cauldron'' and ends up crushing Green with it on accident instead. |
| 581 | |
| 582 | [[AC: Slime Trampoline]] |
| 583 | * Blue and The Second Coming see Yellow using slime blocks as a trampoline, and they want to join in. Later on, all three of them are having fun jumping on the giant block. TSC decides to jump high enough to reach the computer icons to grab, and when they do that, only TSC and Yellow manage to grab onto an Adobe Animate and Discord icons respectively, leaving Blue the only one with nothing to grab, much to his annoyance. TSC and Yellow go after Blue, only for the three to end up [[GelatinousEncasement trapped in the slime blocks as if it was a giant gelatin]]. Green and Red watch on in shock for the former and in disapproval for the latter. |
| 584 | |
| 585 | [[AC: Music Lesson]] |
| 586 | * Green attempts to teach The Second Coming how to sing in Note Block (a ContinuityNod to "Note Block Universe"). However, The Second Coming is only able to manage to "sing" the word "la" in text. After a few attempts, Green tries to get TSC to try a trick to force the sound out of his body, only to result in him knocking Green over with a huge line of text reading "LAAAAAAAAAAA". |
| 587 | |
| 588 | [[AC: Pop-ups]] |
| 589 | * A bunch of pop-up ads start to appear on Alan's monitor, which annoys the Second Coming. As more ads appear on the screen, TSC resorts to using a ''hammer'' to smash any and all ads that appear. Blue and Yellow see what TSC is doing and go up to him to ask what he's doing or to ask him to calm down. They get smashed by TSC as a result, and TSC doesn't even realize. |
| 590 | * TSC snarling like a rabid dog. |
| 591 | * The pop-ups themselves are full of [[FreezeFrameBonus Freeze Frame Bonuses]]. In order, they are... |
| 592 | ** The generic "You won a new [=iPhone=]!" scam. |
| 593 | ** [=USuck=] Vaccums from ''vs. [=YouTube=]''. |
| 594 | ** [[KnockingTheKnockoff a mobile game ad falsely using clips from the series in their advertisements]], which pisses off the Second Coming enough to pull out the hammer. |
| 595 | ** A link to a quiz saying "Are you DEPRESSED? (spoiler: [[TakeThatAudience u probably r]])". |
| 596 | ** A banking phishing pop-up titled "a very bery trusted investment". |
| 597 | ** A scam for a free "roblex", the same watch advertisement the not-yet-King Orange saw in "The King" before Gold's death. |
| 598 | ** A newsletter asking the viewer to sign up for it. |
| 599 | ** A spinning wheel with "rewards" such as "ZONK", "SPLOINK" and "[X number of] dabloons". |
| 600 | ** A "losing weight in 90 days" scam. |
| 601 | ** A "Single Animators in your area" ad, which just has a mouse cursor [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics with a pink bow and a visible blush]]. |
| 602 | ** An ad for an anti-virus software [[FridgeHorror which features ViraBot on it]]. |
| 603 | ** The "Freedom At Last!" pop-up that set the Chosen One free in ''Animator vs. Animation III''. |
| 604 | ** A "Don't go just yet!" offer. |
| 605 | ** The "shocked guy staring at a banana" meme. |
| 606 | |
| 607 | [[AC: King Orange vs. The Dark Lord]] |
| 608 | * Just as the title suggests, it's King Orange with his Combined Game Icon Staff vs. the Dark Lord with his Wristband of Power. In the climax of the fight however, a pig in the form of a biblically accurate angel appears and vaporizes them both. It's then revealed that the whole thing was Yellow, Green, and Red roleplaying using a King Orange plushie, a Dark Lord plushie, and their pet pig respectively, and Green throws down his Dark Lord plushie in rage over Red ruining the story. |
| 609 | ** It's also worth pointing out that they are playing plush versions of their biggest adversaries, [[AngstWhatAngst both of whom killed Green, Yellow, and Red]]. |
| 610 | |
| 611 | [[AC: Snowball War]] |
| 612 | * The Stick Gang are having a snowball fight; Green and the Second Coming vs. Red, Yellow and Blue. Yellow's team is getting clobbered by Green and TSC so Red, being himself, decides to pull a LeeroyJenkins, until he gets knocked out by the oncoming assault. Blue tries to help Red only to get shot with a few snowballs before cowering in terror. Green and TSC think they've won but then are suddenly hit with a giant snowball. It's revealed that Yellow constructed a catapult to end the snowball war. |
| 613 | |
| 614 | [[AC: Omelette]] |
| 615 | * Blue is seen searching Google on how to make the titular dish. When he cracks the egg open, [[BlackComedyBurst a chick comes out...and immediately gets cooked]]. |
| 616 | |
| 617 | [[AC: Frost Walker]] |
| 618 | * While the Second Coming goes into a makeshift pool for a quick swim, Yellow crafts leather boots and enchants them (presumably trying to get Depth Strider). However, he ends up getting the Frost Walker enchantment and uses the boots as if he were ice skating. Unfortunately, this leads to Yellow accidentally freezing TSC. With his one unfrozen hand, TSC grabs one of Yellow's boots and throws it at him hard enough to knock him offscreen. |
| 619 | |
| 620 | [[AC: Wipeout]] |
| 621 | * The short is an {{Homage}} to ''Series/Wipeout2008'', the Stick Gang making a parkour course akin to the gameshow. Green is crushing it until he gets to the [[ItMakesSenseInContext trapdoor chicken dodging area]]. When the Second Coming is about to reach the finish point, Yellow, who earlier got flung into the air by a spinning contraption, lands on the Second Coming, bouncing off of him to land on the finish point while the Second Coming falls to the ground. Given the [[LeeroyJenkins lack of hesitation]] when Yellow ran into the contraption, it's easy to imagine that Yellow actually ''planned'' that. |
| 622 | -->'''Commenter:''' Yellow's calculations are never off |
| 623 | |
| 624 | [[AC: Gunslinger]] |
| 625 | * Blue wields crossbows GunsAkimbo, with Yellow tossing potatoes as flying targets. Green intervenes with his own pair of crossbows, with a cowboy hat and boots to challenge Blue (who eventually gets his own hat) in an old western showdown. Green wins, but then Yellow comes in to avenge Blue. Yellow wins...by shooting a crossbow with a crossbow, which shoots an arrow to hit Green. Blue and Yellow trade a high-five, as if the former wasn't dying from an arrowshot to the chest. Guess Blue wanted to get some roleplay going. |
| 626 | |
| 627 | [[AC: Clicks per Second]] |
| 628 | * The Second Coming sees Alan playing a clicker speed test. After trying it for himself, TSC wants to help him beat his score, so he coerces Red, Blue, Green and Yellow to help. Yellow uses his staff to give himself, Red, Blue and Green the Speed 2 and Haste 2 effects while TSC draws woodpeckers and a jackhammer to help Alan speed up the clicking process. The result? They manage to get over ''1000 clicks'' and '''blow up the entire screen.''' |
| 629 | --> '''Commenter:''' That's why Alan always gets a new computer once a week. |
| 630 | * When the Second Coming finds the FSF, they're seen with a Herobrine-summoning shrine [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment for whatever reason]]. |
| 631 | |
| 632 | [[AC: Plantenstein]] |
| 633 | * After doing a little gardening on ''Minecraft'' crops, Blue sees the Second Coming draw a huge apple tree. After taking a bite out of one of the apples, he spits out a seed and proceeds to plant it. The seed grows into a BotanicalAbomination combination of TSC's tree drawing and a typical ''Minecraft'' oak tree. |
| 634 | |
| 635 | [[AC: New Wallpaper]] |
| 636 | * Alan makes the mistake of leaving his phone plugged into the computer and unattended, so Green and Yellow sneak onto the phone and set Green as the phone wallpaper. When Alan returns and goes to unlock his phone, Green pops up and startles Alan so badly, he tosses the phone back on the table. When he picks it up again, both Green and Yellow are laughing hysterically. |
| 637 | -->'''Alan:''' [[SarcasmMode Real funny, guys...]] |
| 638 | * A FreezeFrameBonus shows that Alan was Googling about bribing children, implying he's either planning to do it in the future, or wants to stop the habit. |
| 639 | |
| 640 | [[AC: Workout]] |
| 641 | * Red and Green are doing a TrainingMontage. It goes great...until Red tries to break an obsidian block with his bare fists. Blue comes along and decides to break it himself. Red doubts that Blue could crush it, but then he drinks a strength potion and effortlessly breaks it, stunning both Red and Green. The short ends with Blue nonchalantly skipping away and Red [[RageQuit Rage Quitting]]. |
| 642 | |
| 643 | [[AC: Ragdoll]] |
| 644 | * Red watches a Ragdoll Compilation on [=YouTube=] and tries to copy the movements. Then he shows this to Green, Blue and Yellow. When the Second Coming sees his friends flopping about, he goes back into his ''Minecraft'' house, clearly thinking "[[SeenItAll I'm not even going to ask"]]. |
| 645 | |
| 646 | [[AC: A New Witch]] |
| 647 | * Blue goes experimenting with potions and discovers a recipe for a Haunted Splash Potion. With it, he uses the nearby Carved Pumpkin (after taking the torch out) as an ingredient to make a Splash Potion of Awakening (the same potion that [[Recap/AnimatorVsAnimationAVMShortsEpisode21TheWitch the Witch]] used), which is then thrown at the Brewing Stands to animate them. Blue then commands the stands to move out, distracting the others to steal Red's black cat, Green's witch hat, and Yellow's Command Block staff to ride like a broomstick. |
| 648 | |
| 649 | [[AC: Turtle Eggs]] |
| 650 | * Red is trying to protect some turtle eggs from the mayhem of his friends (The Second Coming and Blue sparring, Yellow riding a llama, and Green accidentally and narrowingly [[AnvilOnHead dropping an anvil]] when trying to replace the flooring of a structure). He then builds a barrier made of obsidian blocks and he...[[AllForNothing sits on the eggs he was trying to protect]]. |
| 651 | * The short ends with a closeup of Red making it look like heโs about to completely snap. |
| 652 | |
| 653 | [[AC: Kirby]] |
| 654 | * As Yellow and the Second Coming examine the titular character, Kirby inhales the Second Coming and gains the appearance of an orange circle with a transparent head. As if that wasn't confusing enough to the stick figures, Kirby proceeds to fire the Second Coming's laser eyes off screen, before falling asleep, leaving Yellow and the Second Coming completely baffled as to where that came from. |
| 655 | * There's the fact that Kirby has a better handle on TSC's EleventhHourSuperpower than even TSC himself. Fans of the {{Franchise/Kirby}} series will tell you that this lines up surprisingly well with that series' canon. |
| 656 | |
| 657 | [[AC: Pork]] |
| 658 | * Red and his pet Pig make it very clear that they do not appreciate the Second Coming cooking porkchops on a campfire. The Pig eventually resorts to ''tying up Green on a spit over a fire'', with Red giving zero objection to this, before the Second Coming backs down and breaks the campfire. The short ends with Green falling into the fire pit and Red and the Pig don't even notice. |
| 659 | |
| 660 | [[AC: It's Alive!]] |
| 661 | * Blue makes "Splash Potions of Awakening" for his friends to use. The Second Coming uses one on a chest and a crafting table, Red uses one on three zombie heads and Green uses one on a note block (which plays Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee"). However, Yellow decides to animate a command block and everyone has a MassOhCrap moment when they remember what happened the last time [[Recap/AnimatorVsAnimationAVMShortsEpisode6CommandBlocks Yellow messed with a command block]]. [[WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain Not wanting the incident to happen again, the other stick figures tackle and knock out Yellow]]. |
| 662 | --> '''Commenter:''' They weren't letting the command incident happen again lmao- |
| 663 | ** And once that's done, [[BrickJoke the chest that TSC animated earlier]] gobbles up Green. |
| 664 | --> '''Commenter:''' [[ButtMonkey Green always manages to get brutally beaten in every short]] ๐ |
| 665 | |
| 666 | [[AC: Fruit Ninja]] |
| 667 | * The Second Coming, Yellow, and Green are recreating [[VideoGame/FruitNinja the titular mobile game]], with Yellow and Green throwing the fruits for Second Coming to slice up. Later, they decide to mix things up by blindfolding Second Coming to try and slice the watermelons blind. He's managed to sense and slash them all...as well as Green's head. Second Coming freaks out at what he's done, only for it to actually be a cardboard cutout. |
| 668 | * Considering Green's been the ButtMonkey of the Shorts, he manages to get the last laugh at the viewers. |
| 669 | -->'''Commenter:''' Green was so used to Alan killing him in the shorts, that he started making realistic decoys to trick Alan. |
| 670 | |
| 671 | [[AC: Bob is Always There]] |
| 672 | * [[{{Sequel}} Bob returns.]] And proceeds to make Green's life hell. When Green has absolutely enough of his bullcrap, what does he do? He digs a bottomless pit, throws him down there and covers up the hole. Sometime later, the Second Coming hears a thud noise and Green shrugs it off. |
| 673 | * During the montage of Bob messing with Green, Green is shown building a house of cards. We're led to believe that Bob will knock it over. Nope, he bends his arm around it to punch Green. |
| 674 | * When Green grabs Bob, the latter does a SpitefulSpit to the former's face. |
| 675 | * Hell, the very fact the Second Coming let Bob stay on the computer despite the guy brutally beating him up. We don't know how much time it has passed "Bob" and "Bob Is Always There", but the very fact Bob wasn't killed for that is surprising given the Stick Gang's track record when it comes to antagonists that refuse to redeem. |
| 676 | * The TimePassesMontage that happens after Bob has been buried, showcasing that he's been around for numerous events in the series, even if underground. Scenes include: |
| 677 | ** Yellow and Red sparring. |
| 678 | ** The stick figures having a hangover party. Mind you, they're supposed to be on the younger side. Clearly Alan isn't doing a good enough job parenting them. |
| 679 | ** The stick figures celebrating Christmas. |
| 680 | ** Dance party music and flashing lights in the backgroun, from ''Power Outage''. |
| 681 | ** The pig sniffing around. |
| 682 | ** A lava pit, from ''The Floor is Lava''. |
| 683 | ** Green and Red on an arcade machine. |
| 684 | ** The Adobe Animate app in ruins, from ''Wanted''. |
| 685 | ** Alan's cursor in the background idle. |
| 686 | ** A horde of tamed wolves following the Second Coming, who has a pizza in his hands, foreshadowing "The Chef". |
| 687 | ** A family of pigs, foreshadowing "Piggie Love". |
| 688 | ** Blue chasing a loose ''Google Chrome'' icon. |
| 689 | ** Purple visiting the "Stick Figures Fight" website. |
| 690 | ** Alan placing some files in his "Retirement" folder alongside his "IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS" folder. |
| 691 | |
| 692 | [[AC: Faces]] |
| 693 | * In acknowledgement of a popular fan edit trend, Alan presents his take by giving the Second Coming a face and lets him do the rest. The Second Coming tests out his newfound expressions before taking out his pencil to give the others faces. |
| 694 | ** [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses Yellow gets a face with glasses]], and does a thinking expression. |
| 695 | ** [[FriendToAllLivingThings Red]] gets a cat face, complete with ear wiggles and meows. |
| 696 | ** Green gets an incredibly handsome anime face, accompanied with some BishieSparkle and the ''VideoGame/{{Parodius}}'' "Wow!" sound when striking a pose. You can even see the Second Coming getting weirded out. |
| 697 | ** Blue gets the :P face. Exactly as it is seen here. He's not too pleased at this and makes a >:P face as everyone else laughs at him. |
| 698 | * The thumbnails for all of the videos relating to the "EVERY SINGLE ACTUAL SHORT (So Far)" Compilation gives the stick figures the same faces on the thumbnails, which, yes, includes Blue's sideways face and Green's pretty face. |
| 699 | |
| 700 | [[AC: Cup Song]] |
| 701 | * Green performs the titular Cup Song with a bucket, which then gets swapped out with a Bell without skipping a beat. Red then jumps in and gives him a Parrot, which then gets swapped out with a Cobweb from Blue, inevitably grinding things to a halt. Green didn't like that in the slightest and gives the off-screen Blue the CrossPoppingVeins. |
| 702 | |
| 703 | [[AC: Ricochet]] |
| 704 | * After finding out that arrows can bounce off of shields, the Second Coming and Red use this to their advantage on a skeleton. They let the arrow bounce off their shields to build up momentum so it can shoot it. It works...[[GoneHorriblyRight a little]] ''[[GoneHorriblyRight too]]'' [[GoneHorriblyRight well.]] The arrow travels at lightning speed and hits the skeleton so hard that it sends him flying past a village, past Green who's excavating near a desert temple, past Yellow and Blue who were building a Snow Golem, over a lake and back to the forest where it crashes into TSC and Red. |
| 705 | * During its trip around the ''Minecraft'' world, the skeleton flies into a chicken, a zombie and a snow block Yellow and Blue were using. When it crashes into Red and TSC, it leaves behind a feather, rotten flesh, a cactus (from the desert Green was in), a few snowballs (from a snowy region Blue and Yellow were in) and a salmon (from a lake). |
| 706 | * After the skeleton flies over a lake, a squid is seen [[BringMyBrownPants inking itself]] before swimming away. |
| 707 | * [[ATruceWhileWeGawk TSC, Red, a zombie and a creeper looked stunned when the former two basically sent the skeleton flying to]] [[OhMyGods Herobrine knows where.]] The zombie even shrugs at what happened before they start to attack TSC and Red. |
| 708 | * Multiple commenters pointed out that TSC and Red's method of letting the arrow bounce off their shields before letting it hit the skeleton is similar to [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Gumball and Darwin's]] [[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS2E7ThePhone combo breaker against Ocho]]. |
| 709 | |
| 710 | [[AC: Corn Dog Guy]] |
| 711 | * A reddish-brown stick figure is shown selling corn dogs in the Outernet. Suddenly, the area he's in [[Recap/AnimatorVsAnimationAVAShortsEpisode5Wanted is attacked by the mercenaries]]. One of the projectiles shot hits his corn dog cart and glitches it out. Unfazed by the transformation of his corn dogs, the stick figure scribbles over his sign to read "PIXEL CORN DOGS $10", which is ''double'' the price. Truly an opportunist. |
| 712 | |
| 713 | [[AC: Sticktron]] |
| 714 | * The Stick Gang tries to recreate the [[WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender Voltron]] TransformationSequence, which looks awesome at first glance. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Cut back to reality where the Second Coming has trouble holding Red and Green, who are holding his arms, and Blue and Yellow are struggling to support the three]]. TSC eventually loses his balance which causes everyone to fall over. |
| 715 | |
| 716 | [[AC: Piggie Love]] |
| 717 | * Red's pig and another pig fall in love with each other. On the day that they're married, all the stick figures (including [[SixthRanger Purple]]) are happy for them, but then the pigs [[MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces start making out and have a child right on the spot]]. |
| 718 | ** While all the other stick figures look away or cover their eyes at the sight of the pigs making out, the Second Coming only [[ThousandYardStare stares in utter shock]]. Bonus points also have to be given to Purple, who holds his head in his hands like he's having a breakdown, and Green, who raises his hands and looks into the sky like "Why?!" |
| 719 | |
| 720 | [[AC: TNT Jump]] |
| 721 | * The Second Coming shows a blackboard with instructions on how to TNT Jump to his four friends. All of them end up failing, dying, and respawning on a bed nearby. |
| 722 | ** Red's attempt has him blasted away from the wall and falls in front of the group. |
| 723 | ** Learning from Red's attempt, Yellow leaned his shield forward which launched him in the right direction, but a random gust of wind blew his shield which ruined his trial run. Takes on an extra layer of hilarity when you remember that this is taking place inside of a computer; [[RuleOfFunny where did that wind even come from]]? |
| 724 | ** Green lights the TNT and backs away to build up momentum, only for him to get blasted into the wall with his lower half hanging. |
| 725 | ** Blue literally [[EpicFail forgot to equip his shield right from the start]]. |
| 726 | |
| 727 | [[AC: Fox]] |
| 728 | * Red is seen playing with a ''Minecraft'' fox. Nearby, the Firefox icon comes to life, which Red gestures to come down. Both foxes are now competing for Red's attention, to the point where the Firefox incinerates the ''Minecraft'' fox to a crisp. |
| 729 | ** Also, the fact Firefox has the old design from the original trilogy. You know, the one that took place in ''the late 2000s-early 2010s?'' One wonders why Alan doesn't have the modern design. |
| 730 | |
| 731 | [[AC: Rainstorm]] |
| 732 | * On a rainy day at Monster School, Endie is unable to go outside due to his elemental weakness to water. Red offers him an umbrella which works just fine for him. Unfortunately, when he, Red, Skellington and Spider are celebrating, Endie raises the umbrella into the air, causing thunder to strike, destroy the umbrella and leave Endie vulnerable to the rain. |
| 733 | ** Additionally, only Red is shown jumping in fear when the thunder strikes. Whatever the hell is happening on Herobrine's lessons, [[SeenItAll the Karate Guild is apparently used to lightning nearly hitting them]]. |
| 734 | ** On the reaction video, Alan and DJ joke that Endie has actually been KilledOffscreen due to the rain. Even if Herobrine could just revive him assuming this happened, it's still darkly hilarious. |
| 735 | |
| 736 | [[AC: Matador]] |
| 737 | * Green is seen playing matador... with a [[BaitAndSwitch goat]], there being no bulls in ''Minecraft'' and all. He dodges it a few times before the goat finally tackled him and pries him off his red flag. He soon grabs Red who's watching by the sidelines and uses him as a replacement. The Goat promptly takes Red away from him and continues to chase after Green. |
| 738 | |
| 739 | [[AC: Nether Nap]] |
| 740 | * Red and Yellow are traversing the Nether, with the former being exhausted from the trip. The two of them just so happen to pass by [[RuleOfFunny a bed that for whatever reason it's just so happened to be placed there]]. Red tries to take a nap, only for Yellow to prevent him and [[StuffBlowingUp explain why]]. As Yellow drags Red away from the bed, he escapes and land on the bed, causing it to blow up and kill him. Red respawns at their base, excited about his newfound energy, and drags the unconscious Yellow with him to continue the journey. |
| 741 | |
| 742 | [[AC: A Special Song]] |
| 743 | * The stick figures perform a JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}, with Green as Rick Astley. And he's wearing sunglasses. |
| 744 | |
| 745 | [[AC: Blu-ing Stand]] |
| 746 | * Yellow throws a bunch of random stuff into a brewing stand, then lifts the entire stand to shake it to create potions that release a cloud of colorful particles. When Blue decides to copy him, he can't bring himself to part with his precious [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Nether Wart]], so he eats it ''and'' all the other stuff Yellow used before shaking himself. Blue's stomach inflates and travels up his body until it suddenly cuts to Blue [[VomitDiscretionShot puking rainbow particles into a cauldron]] while Yellow pats him on the back. |
| 747 | ** Some of the stuff Blue swallowed included Blaze Powder, a Spider Eye, a ''turtle shell'', and a '''pufferfish''', which is really poisonous in ''Minecraft''. |

| 749 | [[AC: Speedrun]] |
| 750 | * The Second Coming's choices of action while speedrunning. |
| 751 | ** He starts off by entering a villager's house normally, "borrows" their pickaxe, then enters another house... through the window. |
| 752 | ** He carves a pumpkin and proceeds to put it on an Enderman, who panicks and teleports to where 4 other Endermen are enjoying music from a Note Block, kills them for their ender pearls, then leaves as the sole Enderman unequips the pumpkin. |
| 753 | *** Additionally, the Enderman was playing with a fox before the Second Coming interrupted them. |
| 754 | ** TSC [[BrickJoke TNT jumps]] as he enters the End Portal. |
| 755 | ** How does TSC defeat the Ender Dragon? By dropping an [[AnvilonHead anvil on her hea- well, neck actually]], clearly thinking he's not gonna waste time killing her. |
| 756 | |
| 757 | [[AC: You Shall Not Pass]] |
| 758 | * The Stick Gang is chased by [[TheBusCameBack the Cave Spider Queen from Season 1]], and the now-king Wither that she apparently befriended. Yellow stays back to hold the line, pulls a Gandalf and uses his staff to destroy the bridge in epic fashion, sending the royalty duo to their doom. The Queen, however, gets the jump on Yellow and attempts to [[TakingYouWithMe drag him down with her]] with a web shot. The others look down in horror, only to see Yellow float back up with his staff, sheepishly waving at them and assuring he's fine. |
| 759 | * At one point, the Queen fires her web at Yellow, who deflects it with slime blocks, sending it back to one of the Wither King's heads in what is essentially the SpaghettiKiss. The remaining two heads stare at the one who got smooched, who shakes his head in an attempt to explain the situation. |

| 764 | [[AC: Lightsaber Duel]] |
| 765 | * Blue, Red and Green all engage in a lightsaber fight. However, as they continue, their lightsabers leave behind heat marks and (what looks like) melted plastic. Blue and Red end up getting their lightsabers stuck in the taskbar, causing a small explosion on Alan's PC and it to Blue Screen. |
| 766 | ** At one point, Red points towards Green and Blue, clearly using the Force. They get the hint and dramatically run away. |
| 767 | |
| 768 | [[AC: Arm Wrestling]] |
| 769 | * The Stick Gang are having an arm wrestling match, with Blue winning because he drank a strength potion. The Second Coming goes to Alan and asks him to make him alter his size to gain an advantage to win. Blue and TSC start arm wrestling, but then the effects of the strength potion wears off and TSC not only wins, but he also knocks Blue over and breaks the table, to the shock of everyone else while he celebrates. |
| 770 | |
| 771 | [[AC: Do Not Disturb]] |
| 772 | * Alan is trying to calculate his traveling expenses, but the sticks keep interrupting him. |
| 773 | ** Yellow causes a change in quantity in his list that caused his original total expenses to go from $3,652.80 to $15,259.92. |
| 774 | ** Green decided to ignite a TNT behind the process and quickly hands over the evidence[[note]]TNT & Flint and Steel[[/note]] to Blue. Needless to say, Alan flung them both off screen. |
| 775 | ** TSC takes his dog out for a walk and stops to greet Alan, which his dog takes the opportunity to [[UrineTrouble pee on the circle chart]]. Alan loses his patience and gathers the gang into one spot, then shoves them all with their sofa to the side. |
| 776 | ** TSC's dog proceeds to continue where it left off after being shoved. |
| 777 | |
| 778 | [[AC: Hydraulic Press]] |
| 779 | * Blue, Green and Red are seeing what items can be crushed by the hydraulic press. Among the items is a pufferfish. When it gets squashed, Red, worried to see if it's alive or not, checks on it, only for it to blow up in size, poisoning Red in the process. |
| 780 | |
| 781 | [[AC: Smoke]] |
| 782 | * Blue tasks the Second Coming with watching a chicken cook while he gets some spices, but TSC is so tired that he quickly falls asleep. When the chicken catches fire and rapidly fills the whole area with smoke, TSC gets rid of the smoke by changing the background into an open field that blows the smoke away. Blue offers a piece of the burnt chicken to TSC, but the wind causes the chicken to scatter into ashes. |
| 783 | ** When TSC goes to change the desktop background, you can see various pictures of the gang: one of them is Green taking a selfie while Red is seconds away from falling into lava, with the picture being titled "uh oh". |
| 784 | |
| 785 | [[AC: Tetris]] |
| 786 | * While Blue and Red are cheering on Yellow in playing the titular game, Green is just...jamming to the music of said game. |
| 787 | |
| 788 | [[AC: Sea Shanty]] |
| 789 | * While the Stick Gang is playing "Wellerman's Sea Shanty" out at sea, a [[FunnyBackgroundEvent squid is seen poking its head out of the water]] behind Green. |
