3
4''DSBT [=InsaniT=]'' is a 2012 web series hosted on Website/YouTube by Vex created in Anime Studio/Moho.
5
6It's about a [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits quirky cast of characters]] in a weird and wacky world where even the most mundane of scenarios have unexpected outcomes. It's mostly comedy with NoFourthWall, but also delves in action/adventure.
7
8It can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfS91Dl4w90BCRUnekgA1JWqn2vEk59Ng here]], along with ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}''.
9
10As a [[MilestoneCelebration one-year anniversary]], a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ych0bHSMMYQ trailer]] for a [[TheMovie made-for-internet movie]] called ''The Quest for the Sacred Gem'' was released.
11
12----

14
15* AerithAndBob: Names range from Koden, Amber, and Portica to Bill, Andy, and Alex.
16* AllThereInTheManual: The Special Info Episode reveals a lot about the cast and the DSBT world that you would never know otherwise.
17* AmusingInjuries: Sometimes, but not nearly as often as you would think. Its usually just a character being smacked into a wall or floor.
18* AnotherDimension: Killer Monster resides in what is essentially Hell.
19** Psycho Man comes from some sort of evil dimension.
20* AntiClimax: There is never a fight with Psycho Man in [='VRcade'=]. Amber even lampshades this.
21* ArtEvolution: While it still keeps its simplistic style, there is a BIG jump in quality from episode 1 to episode 2.
22** Starting from Episode 4, the characters became more expressive and gained FourFingeredHands, both of which had been implemented from the start in ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}''.
23** Starting from Episode 6, the art style for the characters gets a complete overhaul by being designed in Adobe Illustrator.
24** Starting from Episode 7, the art makes the biggest jump yet with the character models being created in Anime Studio, allowing for much better movement and expressions.
25* AshFace: Happens to Cody when Robo-Wolf blasts him with his EyeBeams.
26* AttackItsWeakPoint: Monster Andy attempts to go after [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Tyrannomon's]] exposed underbelly while Monster Bill and Monster Martha restrain it, but Tyrannomon manages to grab him.
27* AuthorAppeal: Any DevelopmentGag about what DSBT actually used to be. Characters will sometimes even point out that none of the viewers will even get those jokes. The Special Info Episode was created for this reason to provide a little context for the viewers.
28* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Alex and Seth value each other as good friends, which is revealed in 'Beach Brawl'. Koden even jokingly teases them about it.
29* BadBadActing: Balloon when he can't squeeze through the bars to get into the [[BearsAreBadNews Windear]] exhibit with Snake, Bear, and Duck. Duck doesn't buy it, and just pulls him through.
30--> '''Balloon''': Oh no, I can't fit! I guess you guys will have to leave me behind!
31* BaitAndSwitchComment: In 'Store Story', after Killdra gets a hold of [[MindControlMusic Stephanie's mic]] to unbrainwash the people Stephanie had brainwashed, she prepares an offer to Lisa.
32--> '''Killdra''': Lisa, this is what I need you to do.
33--> '''Lisa''': Waaaay ahead of ya! You want me to sing a duet with you so we match the musical power you and Stephanie had?
34--> '''Killdra''': Actually, I was going to tell you to buy us some victory chocolate, but yeah, I suppose another duet would be just as good, I guess.
35--> '''Lisa''': [[SarcasmMode Oh you're so caring, Killdra!]]
36* BeachEpisode: The second episode, 'Beach Brawl'. Unlike most examples, stuff actually happens.
37* BehindTheBlack: When the camera focuses on Koden [[DontExplainTheJoke explaining a one-liner he just made to the viewer]] about [[ThreateningShark Sushi eating Bus in the past]], the camera cuts back and reveals that Sushi is gone. Amber points out that Sushi must've left when the camera was focusing on Koden.
38* BigDamnHeroes: Pulled off by [[spoiler:LISA]] of all people near the end of 'Beach Brawl'.
39** [[spoiler:Waterfall Girl]] has a great one in 'The Camping Webisode'.

41* BigNever: Boo shouts this and then vanishes the first two times Portica orders him to turn Bill visible.
42* BigNo: In 'The Camping Webisode': Koden when he discovers the campsite was trashed, and Duck when Martha accidently pops Balloon.

46** 'Beach Brawl': Said by Cell before Martha freezes him, and Kerry when Lisa makes a snide comment about Asia and Shawn.
47** 'The Camping Webisode': There are a lot of instances here, but the biggest one is said by Andy when Koden reveals that Killer Monster was his pet.
48* BirthdayEpisode: Averted with 'The Party', much to Bear's confusion.
49* BlobMonster: The cute little blobs in the game Koden and Weird Girl play in [='VRcade'=].
50* BluntYes: Done twice by Bear in 'The Camping Webisode' in response to Dave's snarkiness.
51* BodyHorror: Killer Monster's description of what he does in his realm.
52* BorrowedCatchphrase: In 'The Camping Webisode', Cody uses a variation of Andy's "Tee-hee, ice puns.", and Andy uses Martha's "Shut up and fight!" The second one is particularly amusing, since Martha usually says that in response to Andy's antics in a dire situation.
53* BreakingTheBonds: In 'Carneelval', Autmn, Dave, Asia, and Robo discover an elephant that is chained to a post and forced to give people rides. Dave shatters the chain, which ends up startling the elephant, but Asia and Autmn calm it down.

56* CallBack: Koden's party is referenced a few times, much to his dismay.
57** In 'Untamed and Uncut', Tide refers to Frog as "That guy who wiped out on a rock.", which happened in 'Beach Brawl'.
58*** When Robo tells Kayla that he is waterproof, she reminds him of when Cell shorted him out. Robo just dismisses that scene as a gag.

60** In 'Store Story', after Stephanie says WeWillMeetAgain, Alex brings up how Killer Monster said the same thing in 'The Camping Webisode'.

62*** The fact that Killdra sung with both Lisa and Stephanie in 'Store Story' is referenced.
63*** The encounter with ??? in 'Untamed and Uncut' is discussed by Amber and Killer, and Koden and Weird Girl.
64** In 'Carneelval' Frog makes reference to the fact he won his GrapplingHookPistol as a prize in the prior episode.
65* CallingYourAttacks: Sometimes, sometimes not.
66* CastFullOfCrazy: With Koden stuck right in the middle of all of the insanity.
67* CatchAFallingStar: In 'Beach Brawl', Bill 2 does this to Whitney after freeing her from Cell, and Shawn does this to Asia after Lisa and Sand Snake knock her out of the sand.
68** In 'Carneelval', Killer does this to Amber after he breaks her free of a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Spell Ball.]] He then immediately drops her and teleports away.
69* CatFight: Portica and Killdra nearly get into one a couple times in 'Beach Brawl'.
70** Asia and Julie get into it in [='VRcade'=].

72* ChekhovsGun: Portica's strange purple Jell-O in 'The Party'.
73* ClothingDamage: Discussed in 'Store Story'.
74--> '''Kayla''': But what if our clothes get damaged in the fight?
75--> '''Martha''': Come on, Kayla, unless your being knifed, everyone knows clothes are indestructible.
76--> '''Portica''': Or if its for fanservice...
77--> '''Martha''': Don't go there, Portica.
78* ClothingSwitch: All of which have been based off of outfits from ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'' so far.
79** Martha, Portica, and Kayla get new outfits in 'Store Story'.
80** Lisa has a new outfit by the start of [='VRcade'=], and Amber gets a new outfit as a prize at the end of the episode.
81** The rest of the cast ends up with new outfits as part of the ArtEvolution in 'Carneelval'.
82* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Duck, after seeing Fire Guy get captured by Cell in 'Beach Brawl' exclaims "Holy shitoki mushrooms!...That was awesome!"
83* ComicalOverreacting: Usually by Alex, who threatens to maim or kill his comrades for the most trivial of reasons.
84* ConvectionSchmonvection: 'The Camping Webisode' reveals as long as they aren't touching it (and even then, due to an animation oversight), the cast can be by lava with no side-effects.
85* CrappyCarnival: The premise of 'Carneelval'. The games are UnwinnableByDesign, stands are rusty and falling apart, and the rides are very unsafe.
86* CrazyEnoughToWork: Robo's reasoning for trying to pull off a GameBreakingBug in the game he and Balloon are playing in [='VRcade'=].
87* CurbStompBattle: When [[spoiler:Lisa and Sand Snake show up at the end of 'Beach Brawl', they kill Cell in one swift move.]]
88** Due to Boo being a HarmlessVillain, Portica makes quick work of him.
89** Just about any battle involving Balloon or Evil Balloon will be this towards them.
90** Dave quickly defeats his Darkness counterpart in a fit of rage by pushing him through a grate until he is cut up.
91** Killer fights a brainwashed Cody, Lisa, Sand Snake, Crystal Dragon, and Amber at the same time and easily wins.

94* DidntThinkThisThrough: Koden sending Killer to kick Balloon, Snake, Duck, and Bear out of his house.
95** Kerry impulsively throwing Shovel at Cell, who is frozen, thinking it'll shatter him.
96--> '''Bear''': Even ''I'' saw that one coming a mile away.
97** Dave smashing the chains to free an elephant, which startles it and causes it to rampage.
98-->'''Asia''': Why would you think smashing its harness with a boulder was a good idea?
99* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: After Killer Monster explains why they are no match for him, Alex makes a list of powerful beings he and the others have defeated.
100-->'''Alex''': We have taken out mismatched freaks of nature created by ancient serpents, mad scientists with powerful monsters under their command, and demons who can take over the planet! You don't think we can kill some fire-breathing beast?!
101* DodgeTheBullet: Whitney does this using her JetPack against ???'s MechaMooks.
102--> '''Killdra''': Did you SERIOUSLY dodge a volley of machine gun fire?
103* DopeSlap: Martha, and other characters on a rare occasion, does this to Andy a lot. This sometimes happens to Alex too.
104* DoubleTake: Koden does this in 'The Camping Webisode' when Alex tries to repeat their interaction at his party.
105* DramaBomb: Killer Monster's tale of what happened to him after Koden lost him.
106** Played for laughs in episode 7 where Perry and Snake have a very dramatic exchange when Perry gets knocked out of his bumper car, forcing Snake to drive it solo.
107-->'''Seth''': That was...dramatic.
108* EnemyMine: Not so much 'evil' as they just dislike Koden and the others, but Dave and Lisa will help out when the MonsterOfTheWeek rears its ugly head. CharacterizationMarchesOn by episode 5, where helping becomes less of an issue for them.
109* EvenEvilHasStandards: More like '{{Jerkass}}', but Dave does not like murderers like Killer Monster, although, as Portica points out, that doesn't really mean much.
110** He is also just as horrified as Asia and Autmn are upon discovering a chained-up elephant in 'Carneelval'. In fact, he is the one who suggests freeing it.
111** Eel, the BigBad, is quite disturbed by Killer's BloodKnight attitude.
112* EvilDetectingDog: In 'Store Story', Autmn brings this up after Chilly, Frog, Perry, and Snake suddenly up and leave the pet store [[spoiler:due to Stephanie's Siren-like brainwashing.]]
113-->'''Autmn''': Wait! Where are you guys going?! Is this an animal thing?! Do you sense an earthquake or something?!
114* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Cell does this, although Corla had already figured it out.
115* EyeScream: Corla attempts this on Cell, but he reveals that he doesn't even have eyes, and that what appear to be green eyes are just illusions.
116* FictionalCurrency: Kelex.
117* {{Fingore}}: PlayedForLaughs at the start of 'Carneelval' when Dave crushes Koden's hand, leaving it disfigured for the remainder of the scene.
118* FriendlyWar: In 'Store Story', Bear, Duck, and Balloon have a "toy store war", which they treat as a completely serious life-or-death situation.
119* FourFingeredHands: The cast actually started out with ''three''-fingered hands! They eventually get that fourth digit in the ArtEvolution from episode 4.
120* FromBadToWorse: In 'The Camping Webisode', the gangs campsite gets destroyed. Sucks, right? Then [[KnightOfCerebus Killer Monster]] shows up...
121* FunwithAcronyms: '''D'''yl'''S'''chool'''B'''lind'''T'''ure. It makes zero sense unless you watch the Special Info Episode.
122* FurryConfusion: In 'Store Story', Bear talks to a bunch of teddy bears in a toy store, but stops mid-sentence when he realizes none of them can talk.
123** In the same episode, Snake talks with an ordinary boa constrictor that can only hiss.
124** Balloon gets an ordinary "decoy" balloon as a prize at the end of [='VRcade'=].
125* GetOut: Koden kicks everyone out of his house after his disaster of a party in the first episode.
126* GilliganCut: In 'Untamed and Uncut', when Alex starts taunting Seth about presumably-being too scared to ride a [[HorseOfADifferentColor Power Ram]], Seth suddenly appears on one. Cody, who is watching, makes note of this.
127--> '''Cody''': How did you even DO THAT?! The camera wasn't shifted to me for even two seconds!
128* GoingDownWithTheShip: Duck does this with the toy pirate ship in 'Store Story', intending to [[TakingYouWithMe take Balloon down with him.]]
129* GoombaStomp: Frog and Andy do this to the monsters they encounter in the game they're playing in [='VRcade'=].
130* GravitySucks: Discussed by Andy in Frog in [='VRcade'=] about how black holes work.
131* GroundByGears: How Blake defeats Darkness Robo in [='VRcade'=].
132* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: A BrainwashedAndCrazy Amber horizontally bisects Killer with a gamma ray burst. He puts himself back together by [[TeleFrag Tele Fragging]] his two halves together!
133-->'''Killer''': Hmm, honestly I wasn't sure that was going to work
134* HarpoonGun: Lisa and Cody use them in the game they play in [='VRcade'=].
135* HilarityInZoos: Episode 4, 'Untamed and Uncut'.
136* HockeyFight: An AIR Hockey Fight to be more precise, between Alex, Seth, and their Darkness counterparts in [='VRcade'=].
137* HorribleCampingTrip: Episode 3, 'The Camping Webisode'.
138* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Seth gets impaled on the horns of a Power Ram in the fight with Robo-Wolf.
139** This happens many times in the HarpoonGun game Cody and Lisa play in [='VRcade'=].
140** This happens to a BrainwashedAndCrazy Crystal Dragon with ''a hunk of a roller coaster'' in 'Carneelval'.
141* ImprobableSportsSkills: The volleyball scene in 'Beach Brawl' contains a lot of artistic license on physics. This is even pointed out by the characters. The soccer match in 'Store Story' has some crazy physics too.
142* LimitedWardrobe: Pointed out in 'Beach Brawl'.
143-->'''Autmn''': Well that explains why we have our pedestrian clothes on instead of swimsuits...
144* MacGuffin: Spell Balls, which weren't introduced until episode 7. They are pink orbs that turn anyone they hit BrainwashedAndCrazy, but they'll be cured if they are knocked out. Spell Balls were scattered across the world and several villains are on the hunt for them. Eel, the BigBad, is the one who created a machine that produces them, and he is the only one who can outright control nearby ones.
145* TheMall: Episode 5, 'Store Story'.
146* MonsterOfTheWeek: Koden even points this out. See MyFriendsAndZoidberg below.
147* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: In 'The Camping Webisode':
148--> '''Koden''': I am not about to let the THIRD thing with my friends...and Dave and Lisa...be ruined because of the monster...or douchebag...of the week messed everything up!
149* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Frog in his TemptingFate moment in 'The Party', see said trope below.
150* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Lamphsaded in 'Untamed and Uncut' when Alex and Seth are fighting Robo-Wolf. They point out all of the all of the new abilities Robo-Wolf has, such as flying and supersonic howls.
151* NoodleIncident: In 'The Party', Portica mentions to Koden how he used to borrow money from her and never paid her back, and Alex mentions how he would order pizza and share some with Koden, even though he never chipped in.
152* NoFourthWall: Fourth-wall humor is the main source of comedy in this series, often combining it with SelfDeprecation.
153* NoOSHACompliance: Several of the exhibits in 'Untamed and Uncut' do not have the proper fencing to keep the guests and the animals separated. For example, the [[BearsAreBadNews Windear]] exhibit is only blocked off by bars.
154** The carnival in 'Carneelval' also qualifies, such as the bumper cars being way too fast and the roller coaster lacking in any sort of seats. Although in that case, its because the roller coaster is actually Eel.
155-->'''Amber''': This roller coaster seems a little...off, right?
156-->'''Lisa''': Why? Because its missing seats and bars? Most rides tend to lack safety precautions like those anyway, carnivals are quirky like that.
157-->'''Cody''': Lisa isn't wrong. Carnivals aren't really known for being safe havens.
158* NotMeThisTime: In 'The Camping Webisode', Koden tells Alex and Seth not to beat up Andy for Frets and Martha asks why, which he mistakes Alex for asking.
159** In 'Untamed and Uncut', [[TheyKilledKenny Evil Balloon is the one to die in an instant rather than Balloon.]] Balloon is, of course, delighted about surviving the episode.
160** In 'Carneelval', Bill is the one lamenting about craziness ruining a fun outing rather than Koden.
161-->'''Bill''': I thought we could just have a fun time without another bad guy showing up! Now I know how Koden feels.
162* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Happens with Cell when Bill 2 destroys his brain in 'Beach Brawl', and Killer Monster when Dave crushes him with a huge stone slab in 'The Camping Webisode'.]]
163* OffWithHisHead: Kerry does this to Sand Snake when he and Lisa go after him, Asia, and Shawn.
164** This happens rather frequently with the Darkness Clones in [='VRcade'=], but since they function like an AsteroidsMonster, they can keep going even without a head.
165* OfficialCouple: Koden and Amber.
166* OhCrap: Asia and Koden when they find out Lisa and Sand Snake are about to crash Koden's party.
167** Koden when he finds out Killer Monster's name.
168* OnceAnEpisode:
169** (Evil) Balloon dying.
170** Killdra suddenly appearing from behind Koden.
171** Andy saying "You're gonna give me X without the Y if you keep doing that." to Martha after she slaps him.
172** Alex complaining about the place they chose to go to at the start of the episode.
173* OnlySixFaces: The only facial features that change between human characters is their eye color. Clothing style and accessories are used to give DistinctiveAppearances.
174* OverlyLongGag: Perry eating cotton candy in 'Carneelval'.
175-->'''Perry''': Wow, that was NOT worth all the effort it took to eat it.
176* PantheraAwesome: Discussed in 'Untamed and Uncut'. Tiger's are Killera's favorite animal, but what she, Killer, and Whitney think is is a tiger exhibit, is actually a [[MixAndMatchCritters Liord]] exhibit.
177* PhlebotinumPills: Tide has Koden, Amber, and Frog take underwater-breathing pills designed by WG in 'Untamed and Uncut'.
178* ThePowerOfFriendship: One of the "messages" of this web series. Its not given a huge focus, but its definitely there.
179* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Bill shouts "Dont! You! Dare!" when Alex is about ready to reveal his beta name in 'The Camping Webisode'.
180* ProWrestlingIsReal: Discussed by Seth, Whitney, Dave, and Spoon in 'Store Story'.
181* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Oh so much. Just take a look at the character page of this crazy cast.
182* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Killer gives Portica one after she makes a snide remark about Killdra's song in 'The Camping Webisode'.
183-->'''Killer''': Who the HELL do you think you are?! My sister has a hidden talent that no one ever expected and you spout something like THAT?! Your trash, utter trash!
184* SarcasmMode: Mostly by [[OnlySaneMan Koden]] and [[TheStraightMan Martha]], but others have used it too.
185* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: When Portica and Kayla run into an Ice Beast in 'Untamed and Uncut', Kayla tries to make a break for it, but Portica stops her and tells her they have to defeat it.
186** K-Seal gives up and leaves after the Icers help Portica and Kayla escape.
187** In [='VRcade'=], right after she and [[{{Jerkass}} Julie]] finish the game, Asia is quick to exit...That is, if Psycho Man hadn't shown up.
188** After his VillainousBreakdown, Psycho Man does this at the end of [='VRcade'=].
189* SelfDeprecation: Its where most of the fourth wall-breaking comes in.
190* ShipTease: Done with Shawn and Asia a few times in 'Beach Brawl'.
191** 'Carneelval' heavily implies Beeps and Bus to be in a gay relationship.
192* SpinToDeflectStuff: Alex does this with a spear when Robo-Wolf shoots at him with bullets. Seth points out the impossibility of this.
193-->'''Seth''': There is no humanly-possible way you could twirl your spear fast enough to deflect gunfire.
194* SpringCoil: One of the power-ups in the game Frog and Andy play in [='VRcade'=].
195* ShoutOut: Lots. One of the biggest examples is Alex bringing Frets from ''Simtunes'' with him in 'The Camping Webisode'.
196* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Frequent with [[VitriolicBestBuds Alex and Seth.]]
197* StylisticSelfParody: Its what most of the SelfDeprecation humor references.
198* SuplexFinisher: Killer performs one on a BrainwashedAndCrazy Lisa in 'Carneelval', which actually ends up giving her a grevious head injury due to slamming her into metal.
199* SwallowedWhole: Happnes to those eaten by Sushi.
200** Snake does this to his cotton candy in 'Carneelval'. He is a snake after all.
201* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Lampshaded by Monster Andy when he, Monster Martha, and Monster Bill are fighting [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Tyrannomon.]]
202-->'''Monster Andy''': Oh, right, the dinosaur. It was being so polite not attacking us while we bantered that I nearly forgot about it.
203* TastesLikeFeet: After eating Darkness Snake's head, Perry says it "tastes like evil".
204* TeamShot: The logo, as seen above.
205* TemptingFate: Done a few times, but the best example is when Frog points this trope out...and promptly realizes he fell for it in 'The Party'.
206-->'''Martha''': Koden, this party is already a disaster, it can't get an--
207-->'''Frog''': Don't say it! Whenever you say 'It cant get any worse', IT ALWAYS GETS WOR-- Oh no! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
208* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Between Asia and Julie vs their Darkness counterparts in [='VRcade'=].
209* ThemeTuneRollCall: Their names aren't said, but are displayed as each character appears in it.
210* TheMovie: ''The Quest for the Sacred Gem''
211* ThePowerOfHate: Seth uses his anger towards Alex to give himself enough strength to beat the UnwinnableByDesign bell-ringing mallet game in 'Carneelval'.
212* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Cody defeats his (headless) Darkness counterpart by smashing a potion of HollywoodAcid into the hole in his neck, followed by a harpoon. Then he tricks a baby White Killer Eel to slither into the hole in Darkness Cody's neck, which causes him to dissolve.
213** Dave defeats his Darkness counterpart by pushing him through a grate until all of his body parts are severed.
214* ThisIsReality: Parodied by Julie in [='VRcade'=].
215-->'''Julie''': This isn't some lesson teaching little kids show, this is REAL! I'm REALLY beating you in a virtual reality game where you appear on goldfish, and I'm better than a person who uses plant magic!
216* TooDumbToLive: Discussed by Robo and Portica in 'Untamed and Uncut'.
217--> '''Robo''': Is there any individual in this series that has the sense to not enter the animal enclosures?
218--> '''Portica''': Watching animals would make a rather dull episode.
219* TransformationSequence: Starting with episode 6, this happens when a character changes form.
220* TraintopBattle: Happens with Bill and Kayla versus their Darkness counterparts in [='VRcade'=].
221* TrueCompanions: As seen in ThePowerOfFriendship entry, its not generally focused upon, but it's there.
222* TruthInTelevision: Lawn Darts, as seen at the end of [='VRcade'=], were a real thing.
223* UnexplainedRecovery: Not only with Balloon, but also with the groups ''campsite'' in 'The Camping Webisode', which is heavily pointed out by Bill!
224--> '''Bill''': Wow. Despite the fact that everything was burned and broken, we STILL managed to recover all the food to its natural state, fix the tents without stitches or anything, ''and'' repair the flashlights!
225* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: In 'The Camping Webisode', despite the fact that the viewers are not told about it, Frog's plan to capture the opposing teams flag in Capture The Flag only has a 50% chance of success, according to Robo. [[spoiler:Killdra's team ends up winning.]]
226* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Lizzie didn't think anything of the dripping acid and sudden influx of invasive venomous snakes in his exhibit, which were caused by [[PoisonousPerson Michael and Ashley]], because 'poison and snakes were a common sight'.
227* UnwinnableByDesign: [[DumbBlonde Kayla]], in a rare moment of brilliance, talks about the reasons arcade games are like this in [='VRcade'=].
228-->'''Kayla''': Thats because arcades, like all other businesses, need to make money. The longer you play, the less amount of money you are giving them, thus, to gain said money, as you progress through the game, the difficulty increases until it reaches such a spike that even the most reactive and perfectly-timed maneuvers are going to eventually end in your loss, thus requiring you to provide the machine additional funds in order to resume your enjoyment of the game.
229** This is pretty much half the premise of 'Carneelval' where its filled with rigged games. Examples include the rings in ring toss being too light, the balloon darts game having darts that are too dull, and the mallet in the bell-ringing game not being heavy enough.
230* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Killer Monster. His appearance is one of the most serious points of the series. He also lacks comedic quirks or snarkiness of other villains.
231* VocalEvolution: Compare some of the character voices (such as Lisa's and Andy's) from 'The Party' to future episodes...
232* VoicesAreMental: Lampshaded by Weird Girl in [='VRcade'=].
233--> '''Weird Girl''': Have you done the body-switching thing where the voices change too, even though our voices are formed by our vocal cords and not our minds, but its done so the viewers don't get [[{{Malaproper}} confoosed?]]
234* WallJump: Killer does zig-zag wall jumps off the support beams of a roller coaster in order to place what are essentially energy versions of remote bombs so he can destroy a hunk of the roller coaster in combat.
