1[[http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/arfenhouse Arfenhouse]] is a collection of flash movies by Disaster Labs, based loosely upon their [[VideoGame/{{Arfenhouse}} RPGs]], with the first movie appearing in 2002 at Newgrounds. After the movie series "Arfenhouse: The Movie 1-4" was released piece by piece on Website/{{Newgrounds}}, it became popular enough to get its own IRC channel, #arfenhouse.
2----
3!!'''The Flash series has examples of these tropes...'''
4
5* AnimationBump: The sixth and final film as a whole has more fluid animation than the others.
6* ArtShift: A couple scenes from the sixth movie stand out.
7* BattleCry: Teh BUHHS/BUHAAZZ (Pringles cans) always do their signature cry whenever they appear. And it's hilarious.
8%%* BondGunBarrel
9* BilingualBonus: Arfenhouse 6 has a scene with katakana that reads "ゴトヘルアナダイ '''ファキュ'''". [[labelnote:Explanation]]It reads "Gotoheruanadai '''Fakyu'''", which roughly transliterates into "Go to hell and die. ''Fuck you!'''"[[/labelnote]]
10* BrickJoke: One that takes a few movies: in Arfenhouse 2, Housemaster made plans to go to Hawaii. The heroes eventually make it to Hawaii at the end of Arfenhouse 6.
11* ButtMonkey: [[OnlySaneMan Joe]], in spades.
12--> '''Housemaster:''' "OHH FUK!!! TEH COMMUNITY CHEZZT FORCLOZD ON MA BEEEEEEF JEERRRKKEEE!!! j0 GOZ 2 JAYL!!!" \
13'''Joe:''' Hey!! Let me see that! ... '...Beef jerky... Joe goes to... jail'? 'Get $400, Joe goes to jail'... '[[GetOutOfJailFreeCard Get out of jail free]] except for Joe who goes to jail'... ''[='=]Everybody wins except for Joe who goes to jail[='=]?!'' ...Y'know what? [[RageQuit Forget it! Why did I even come here thinking I could play a decent game of Monopoly with you people?]]"
14* ChestMonster: PlayedForLaughs when Good Kitty bursts out of Joseph's stomach in ''Arfenhouse 6'', much to the latter's horror and pain.
15* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: "FOOL! All we do in Hell is play DDR!"
16* EyeScream: [[ItMakesSenseInContext L3MUNAA@@AIIIIYYYYDdd!!!!!1]]
17* {{Headdesk}}: ''Arfenhouse Teh Movie Too'' has a random interscene with someone saying "BREAK TIME" repeatedly while bashing his head against a desk. [[AmusingInjuries And bleeding]].
18* FridgeHorror: Invoked in-universe by Seppel.
19--> '''Seppel:''' Wait a minute! What was Professor Utonium doing making little girls in the first place?!
20--> [{{Beat}}]
21--> '''Misteroo:''' Ew.
22* FourthWallObserver: Joe is aware that there are scripts.
23* AGlitchInTheMatrix: Near-constant, except the "Matrix" in this case is reality itself, or whatever passes for reality here. Sometimes commented on: "Oh no, it's doing it again! I feel nauseous!"
24%%* InNameOnly: The third and fourth movies.
25%%* LargeHam
26%%* MindScrew: Oh boy, where do we start?
27* NonstandardCharacterDesign: The characters are depicted in so many different styles, it would probably be safe to say that ''Arfenhouse'' has no standard character design. Though Joe still stands out because he's the only character who isn't StylisticSuck.
28* NumberedSequels: Played with by the movie series, which goes straight from 4 to 6.
29* OnlySaneMan: Poor Joseph tries to keep things on track. He is always outnumbered and the universe hates him.
30* OverlyLongGag: ''Arfenhouse 3'', which, after a very brief fight between Housemaster and Billy, does a [[CreditsGag credit roll that just lists off names from a phonebook]].
31%%* RandomEventsPlot
32* RealTrailerFakeMovie: [[Film/KillBill Kill Billy]] recreates the entire Kill Bill trailer.
33* RocksFallEveryoneDies: [[spoiler:Except, as an EasterEgg reveals, for Joseph. Who ends up back in his own RPG.]]
34* RunningGag: "JO'Z HEER"
35* ShoutOut:
36** "h0lD THIZ. TY!!!!! [[VideoGame/MetalSlug h3v33 M@SH33NGNU!!!!!!]]"
37** [[Film/OverdrawnAtTheMemoryBank "I AM INTERFACE!"]]
38** The beginning of Arfenhouse 2 has a recreation of [[Anime/ExcelSaga the intro to ''Excel Saga''.]]
39** [[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} Housecraft.]]
40** More obscurely, [[WesternAnimation/BalloonLand the Pincushion Man]].
41* StylisticSuck: The backgrounds and objects are drawn as this. only [[OnlySaneMan Joseph]] is drawn normally.
42* TakeThat: Done to the many crappy [[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8BT]] ripoffs flooding Newgrounds at the time[[note]]a FreezeFrameBonus rant in ''8-Bitch Fyve'' elaborates on this.[[/note]] twice: once in the beginning for Arfenhouse 2, the other as a standalone move entitled [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/214733 8-Bitch Fyve]]
43** From ''Arfenhouse 6'': "[[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren @dV||7 (|-|1|_|_|)|2||]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext $uUuuUU|_||<DD!!!!1!]]"
44* UnInstallment: There never was an ''Arfenhouse 5''
