7!!''Cartoon Hooligans'' provides examples of the following tropes:
8
9* AdaptationalVillainy: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcrM6myhYxs Which Avenger killed Hawkeye?]] [[spoiler: Tony Stark, that's who!]]
10* BaitAndSwitch: In "[[https://youtu.be/m0s85XVrQSE What if Hulk Ripped His Pants #4]]", after ComicBook/IronMan gives [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] a pair of "pants" from his spare armor parts, it appears that Hulk is about to go on another rampage, but it turns out that he likes Iron Man now for giving him "pants", and they become friends again.
11* BreakThemByTalking: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsayIPwKWyk Batman vs Avengers]]" Batman somehow defeats most of the Avengers using this method.
12* ChirpingCrickets: This is sometimes used in the gags that involve StunnedSilence.
13* ChocolateBaby: The parody "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Y2mcIHOr4 What If Avengers Endgame Ended Like This?]]" finishes with [[spoiler: Tony Stark suddenly noticing Nebula with a blue-skinned little boy, who had an arc reactor in his chest...]]
14* ComedicUnderwearExposure: In "What if Superman Got Sick?!", Supes does this to J'onn when deliriously attempting to expose him as the Hulk. J'onn [[InelegantBlubbering isn't happy about it]].
15* CovertPervert: At the [[https://youtu.be/m0s85XVrQSE?t=38s indicated section]] of "What if Hulk Ripped His Pants #4", a little boy's mum starts [[CrushBlush blushing]] and [[LaughOfLove giggling]] when she sees Hulk [[FemaleGaze naked]], complete with heart symbols around her.
16* CurbStompBattle: [[ButtMonkey Superman]] is subjected to three of these in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41yz7FhyKvs What If Superman Got Sick?!]]", the first with ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} and the next two with the rest of the Justice League (bonus points for all of them involving actual stomping on Superman).
17* DisproportionateRetribution: PlayedForLaughs in "What if Superman Got Sick?!", when the Justice League beat up Superman twice, first for [[PowerPerversionPotential using his X-ray vision to spy on women in the JLA female locker room]] and then for [[ComedicUnderwearExposure stripping J'onn naked except for his underwear]] while he's ill from the flu.
18* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In "[[https://youtu.be/Bc5MtIwIj_A The Rumors About Spider-Man and Deadpool]]", when ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} attempts to help Spider-Man free his arm from his own webbing (which has it stuck to his crotch), both of them are grunting and groaning... rather suggestively, which is then followed up by the two being MistakenForGay.
19* ExpressiveMask: Iron Man's helmet in later animations can change expressions at will.
20* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In "What If Superman Got Sick?!", while Batman is comforting [[ComicBook/MartianManhunter J'onn J'onnz]], the rest of the Justice League are visible beating up Superman in the background.
21* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Spider-Man is revealed to be wearing​ underwear with polka dots in "The Rumors About Spider-Man and Deadpool".
22* GoneHorriblyWrong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8zhjlMp1xI Spidey's attempts to clone himself]] with the DNA of other Marvel superheroes. [[{{Understatement}} It didn't end well, to say the least]]...
23* GoshDangItToHeck: In "What If Superman Got Sick?!", when the Justice League starts beating Superman up for peeking into the women's locker room of the JLA headquarters, ComicBook/GreenLantern says "What the frog, Superman!"
24* LaughOfLove:
25** In "What if Hulk Ripped His Pants #3", Black Widow giggles as she hangs out with Thor, complete with WingdingEyes at one point.
26** In "What if Hulk Ripped His Pants #4", the little boy's mum does this (as mentioned under Covert Pervert).
27* MakeOutKids: ComicBook/BlackWidow and Hulk are portrayed as this in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4idcRcK8_E Ages of Ultron]]", as are [[spoiler:Ultron and [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 Baymax]].]]
28* MaleGaze: {{Invoked|Trope}} with the thumbnails for "What If Superman Got Sick?!" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFDeroyOB9k Not So Fantastic Four]]", where ComicBook/WonderWoman and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Sue Storm's]] butts are prominently displayed (the latter even has an arrow pointing to it!). This doubles as a case of [[CoversAlwaysLie Thumbnails Always Lie]], as their asses are not prominently displayed in the videos themselves.
29* MistakenForGay: In "The Rumors About Spider-Man and Deadpool", when ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} inadvertently pulls off Spider-Man's suit leggings, ComicBook/SpiderGwen happens upon them before running off crying. Immediately afterwards, ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and Iron Man also happen upon them, and Iron Man decides to post a picture of the "couple" on Instagram with the tags "[=#SpideyPool=]", "[=#HahGay=]" and "#Bromance", over their vehement denials.
30* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Quite a few of the gags rely on this. This is even {{invoked|Trope}} with the titles of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkg39S36ixY What If Doctor Strange Ripped His Clothes]]" and the "What If Hulk Ripped His Pants" series of videos.
31* NoSell: This happens when Superman tries to fight Darkseid in "What If Superman Got Sick?!". This is {{justified|Trope}} due to Superman being sick.
32* NotWhatItLooksLike: When Captain America and Iron Man happen upon Spider-Man and Deadpool as described under MistakenForGay, Spidey frantically says "[[RapidFireNo No, no, no!]] It's not what it looks like!".
33* OverlyLongGag: Spiderman's attempts to flirt with Black Widow, in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4bcgh0iADk two-part]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8YwtlDlI2Q episode]] that is just Spidey throwing out one pick-up lines after another, failing, getting beaten up, rinse and repeat for 10 minutes...
34* {{Parody}}:
35** As noted above, a lot of the channel's content consists of parodies involving superheroes.
36** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpN93lYH9pg Santa Claus: Civil War]]" is one of the second trailer for ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''.
37* PowerPerversionPotential: In "What If Superman Got Sick?!", Superman uses his X-ray vision to peek into the Justice League headquarters' female locker room, with ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} and Wonder Woman inside. The three are understandably pissed at him when they find out, along with the rest of the Justice League.
38* RecordNeedleScratch: This is frequently used, particularly in the gags involving MoodWhiplash.
39* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Three instances in "What if Superman Got Sick?!":
40** Superman screams like this twice, first when Darkseid blasts him with his Omega Beams, and then when Green Lantern's energy fist knocks him down while he's peeking into the women's locker room of the JLA headquarters.
41** J'onn also screams like this when Superman strips him naked (except for his underwear).
42* ShoutOut:
43** In "What If Doctor Strange Ripped His Clothes", when Doctor Strange apparently shrinks Hulk's penis in retaliation for his mocking him, it is [[VisualPun represented]] as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} a Mega Blaziken devolving into a Torchic]].
44** In "What If Superman Got Sick?!", Superman says to Batman, "Everyone knows your name is Bruce. [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice And your mom's name was Martha. Just like mine.]]"
45* SickEpisode: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "What If Superman Got Sick?!"]]
46** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1d4tCLbT04 There's a sequel.]] [[spoiler: It ends with the entire Justice League catching Superman's flu]]
47* StunnedSilence: This is a frequent part of the parodies' gags, particularly those involving [[NakedPeopleAreFunny nudity]].
48* TheTalk: In "Not So Fantastic Four", when the kid reveals that he made a figure of Mr Fantastic out of [[BuffySpeak the little rubber tube bag thingies]] from his dad's room's trash can, the dad [[OhCrap quickly]] says that they need to have a talk.
49* TakeThat: In "Not So Fantastic Four", the kid's dad says about a turd meant to represent the Thing, "No, this is just a piece of crap! A piece of CRAP! Just [[Film/TheFantasticFour like]] [[Film/FantasticFour2005 the]] [[Film/FantasticFour2015 movies]]!".
50* TeenyWeenie:
51** {{Implied|Trope}} in the following exchange in "What If Doctor Strange Ripped His Clothes", after ComicBook/DoctorStrange and Hulk both lose all their clothes:
52-->'''Hulk:''' ''[grins]'' You no Doctor Strange, heh, you Doctor Small! Hahahaha!\
53'''Doctor Strange:''' ''[glances down and blushes]'' Today is pretty cold, okay?! Gimme a break!
54** The above is then followed up by Doctor Strange shrinking Hulk's penis, which is represented as a reverse-evolution process (see ShoutOut above). Hulk gets teary-eyed and says that he doesn't like Doctor Strange.
55* UnreadablyFastText: The credits of "What if Hulk Ripped His Pants #4".
56* WhatIf: The premise of the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "What If"]] series of videos.
