23----
24'''This series includes examples of:'''
25* AffectionateParody: The mini-episode "Heinous Anus Zone" pokes fun at sidescroller design in video games.
26* AmusingInjuries: In the mini-episode "Pop-a-Cap!", Rob (after he watches a show about reflex testing) uses a broom to hit Johny in the back of the legs and makes him fall over...while forgetting that he's supposed to test someone's reflexes in the ''front'' of the knees.
27* AnimalTalk: Spike, the family dog, in "Dog Daze of Boredom".
28* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Johny.
29* AprilFoolsDay: The "Untitled" cartoons.
30* ArchEnemy: Rival, an EvilSorcerer wannabe who is Rob's [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin rival]]. He appears only in "Half Beard".
31* ArtEvolution: The drawings are very crude in "Day of the Devil", a pilot episode, because it was ''only made in one day''. But for the rest of the series, they started to get much better.
32** Oh yeah, [[http://www.bobert-rob.com/animation/Char/Siblings_EvolutionChar.htm this page]] details the evolution of the character designs.
33* ArtShift: The flashback scene in "Runesuck" is the only scene in the series to be drawn using lines instead of the brush tool.
34* AsHimself: The real Rob as Rob, his little brother Johny as Johny, and some of the others. But the real Rob claims that [[WordOfGod the characters aren't real people; they're heavily based on real people]], so the characters are:
35** TheDanza
36** InkSuitActor
37** And of course, Rob himself is an AuthorAvatar.
38* AttackHello: Spike does it to Johny in "Dog Daze of Boredom", when he sees him arriving home from school.
39-->'''Johny:''' [[OwMyBodyPart Ow, my spine!]] (''to Spike'') Damn, dog, you stink.
40* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Mason.
41* BeardOfEvil: Rival.
42* BerserkButton: Don't ''ever'' play country music near a sleeping Rob, or else he'll shoot your stereo.
43* BlandNameProduct: ''Heinous Anus Zone'' features a can of "Dr. Soda" (a parody of Dr. Pepper) sitting on Johny's desk.
44* BodyDouble: PlayedForLaughs in "Half Beard", when someone who resembles Rob gives Johny a car ride and waves goodbye to him -- only for Rob himself to show up behind Johny.
45--> '''Johny:''' Ah, what the hell?! I thought you left!
46--> '''Rob:''' That was the ''decoy'' Rob!
47--> '''Johny:''' I'm not gonna even ''try'' to understand that one.
48* BonusMaterial: Found in the "Extras" sections in each episode. This includes audio clips that never made it in the final product, as well as animated extra scenes.
49* BreakingTheFourthWall: Johny does it twice when he sets up his {{Rube Goldberg Device}}s (see quotes below) in "Don't Wake Robby!" and "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
50* BrickJoke: The plot point of "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
51* ButtMonkey: Johny. His life is always abused by Rob.
52* CallingYourAttacks: "HALF BEARD, GO! FORM OF...HALF OF MY BEARD!"
53* TheCameo: Creator/MrT in "Runesuck" and "Heinous Anus Zone".
54* CanonDiscontinuity: "Day of the Devil", due to the fact it's a pilot for the series and that it features very poor drawings that were done quickly. That's why it was marked as episode zero.
55* CatchPhrase: "For the hell of it."
56* ChekhovsGag: In the scene in "Half Beard" where Johny gets a phone call from his friend CJ, the latter can clearly be heard shouting "[=RuneScaaaaaaaaaaape=]!" on the phone several times, a nod to the earlier episode "Runesuck".
57* ChewingTheScenery: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLF BEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRD!!!!"
58** "HOLY SHIT, STOP THE WORLD!! IT'S ONE GIL!!"
59* ClusterFBomb: Basch in "Not-the-FFXII Extras" does this when he and the team confront [[BigBad Vayne]].
60--> '''Basch:''' Fuck you!...Fuck you!...FUCK YOU!
61--> '''Balthier:''' I think he's referring to me.
62--> '''Basch:''' Oh, well, still, fuck him.
63--> '''Vayne:''' No, Basch, (''transformation'') FUCK ''YOU''!
64* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Johny at times, because he tried not to listen to Rob's ranting.
65* ComicBookAdaptation: The series was adapted into a very short-lived webcomic in winter 2010 that lasted for only ''two'' strips. These two strips are called [[http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/bobert-rob/sib1-skipping "Skipping"]] and [[http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/bobert-rob/sib2-crotch-shot "Crotch Shot"]].
66* ContentWarnings: Parodied at the beginning of [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/489365 "Siblings Untitled 01"]].
67--> "'''WARNING!''' The clip you are about to see is FAKE. All the places, characters, and events are more or less fictitious in their presentation and you are expected to know it never happened.

68* ContinuityNod: In later episodes such as "Not-the-Final Fantasy XII" and "Don't Sleep, Robby!", Rob's ball of duct tape from "Runesuck" and his paper-mâché hand from "Dog Daze of Boredom" were seen sitting on his shelf in his room. Also, foam Buddha from "Not-the-Final Fantasy XII" shows up again in "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
69* CutawayGag: "Count Robulaaaaaa!"
70* DeadpanSnarker: Rob, at times. Also, Johny towards him.
71* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
72--> '''Johny:''' Haha! I finally came up with the perfect way to get Rob up! More perfect than the last plan which was also perfect! ...Sort of.
73* DerangedAnimation: The dream sequence in "Don't Sleep, Robby!", as well as all the MindScrew stuff.
74* DisneyAcidSequence: The dream sequence in "Don't Sleep, Robby!", again, but without any lyrics.
75* DoubleTake: At the beginning of "tWHYlight":
76--> '''Rob:''' If it doesn't turn into a teenybopper movie with vampires in it for the hell of it...IT'S A TEENYBOPPER MOVIE WITH VAMPIRES IN IT FOR THE HELL OF IT!!
77* TheDragon: Lackey, Rival's silent [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin lackey]], who acts snake-like but is human.
78* DreamSequence: Rob has several in "Don't Wake Robby!" and one in "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
79* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: A variation in "Don't Sleep, Robby!":
80--> '''Rob:''' Up to your old John-foolery, eh?
81--> '''Johny:''' You were sleeping!
82--> '''Rob:''' Nah, I was zoning out again.
83--> '''Johny:''' Sleeping!
84--> '''Rob:''' Zoning!
85--> '''Max:''' Meditating!
86--> '''Rob:''' Mediating!
87--> '''Max:''' Meteor!
88--> '''Johny:''' Sleeping, I said!
89--> '''Rob:''' Yes, yes, we're all aware of you saying "sleeping", it's not a big deal.
90** Taken to the extreme when this scene was parodied in "Siblings Untitled 04".
91* DuctTapeForEverything: In "Runesuck", Rob had a ball of duct tape. He told a story to Johny that back at school, he used duct tape to create a drawing of a grey alien on the hallway wall under pressure from his teacher, who then told him to take it down, so Rob takes the tape down and rolls it up into a ball.
92* EasterEgg: Pops up throughout most of the series.
93* EveryEpisodeEnding: An animated outline drawing appearing on a white background after the ending credits. It's colored blue, red, green, purple or pink.
94* EverythingTalks: In the beginning of "Half Beard", Rob has a conversation with his beard when he faces the necessity of shaving again. When he tells it to stop screaming in pain, it obliges.
95* FacePalm: Johny does it at the end of "Don't Wake Robby!", when Rob goes back to sleep in the tub.
96** Rob in "Don't Sleep, Robby!", upon learning from Max about the music band Music/BillyTalent only having one person named Beck.
97* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Johny tries several elaborate plans to make Rob wake up in "Don't Wake Robby!", but they didn't work out at all.
98** This is repeated in "Don't Sleep, Robby!", but this time, he's trying to make Rob go to sleep.
99* FastForwardGag: Happens twice at the end of "Not-the-FFXII Extras", complete with a MotorMouth {{Narrator}}.
100--> [[FightScene "ONEPATHETICALLYSHORTBATTLELATER!"]][[note]]The heroes fight Vayne in a ridiculously short battle.[[/note]]
101--> [[OneWingedAngel "ONEFIERYTRANSFORMATIONLATER!"]][[note]]Vayne transforms into a giant with wings.[[/note]]
102* FirstNameUltimatum: "JOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!" in "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
103** Johny has "ROOOOOOOOB!" in the same episode.
104* {{Flashback}}: Rob's duct tape story in "Runesuck".
105** A montage of Rob {{Squee}}ing at Johny in past times in one scene of "Dog Daze of Boredom".
106* TheFool: Rob.
107* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Rob and Johny.
108* FreezeFrameBonus: Near the end of "[=tWHYlight=]", the menu at the movie theater's concession stand is selling "Fat", "More Fat", "Heart Attack", "Sugar Drink", "Liquid Poison", and "Hidden Messages".
109* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Oh boy.
110* FunWithSubtitles: In the Newgrounds version of "[=tWHYlight=]", when Edward says, "I'm dangerous, stay away," for the third time, the subtitles say, "I AM NOT WRITING HIS CATCHPHRASE AGAIN."
111* GagSeries: Of course. The real Rob really loves randomness, so he throws it in the series.
112* TheGhost: In "Half Beard", Johny's girlfriend is mentioned to be at the football game, but once we get to the scene with the football field, she isn't seen sitting in the bleachers at all.
113* HairTriggerTemper: Rob in "[=tWHYlight=]".
114* HarmlessFreezing: Happens to Rob while he's sleeping after Johny turns the fan up near him. After that, he was taken to the bathtub by Johny to have him thawed out. Fortunately, we didn't see him frozen like ice.
115* HeavySleeper: Rob in "Don't Wake Robby!".
116* HeliCritter: In "Dog Daze of Boredom", Spike is reacting with joy to Johny telling him that he's going to pet him, causing his own tail to wag so fast that it turns into a helicopter propeller.
117--> '''Rob:''' {{Gasp}}! My theory was true! Spike ''can'' fly! FLY DOG! FLY!
118** But unfortunately, Spike flew so high that his tail hits the ceiling fan making him spin around, and he falls down.
119* HilariousOuttakes: Audio-only version. There are several voiceover outtakes in the post-"Runesuck" episodes that are taken from the recording session and added as bonus extras. You can click on any button in the "extras" menu on each episode and they will lead you to another menu that has a "play" button.
120* HotBloodedSideburns: Rob.
121* {{ILLKILLYOU}}: At one point in "tWHYlight", Rob states, "I hope this doesn't turn into a musical, but I swear, if Series/HannahMontana makes a guest appearance, I'm gonna go on a murderous rampage. AND YOU STUPID LITTLE GIRLS ARE GONNA BE FIRST!!"
122* IncrediblyLamePun:
123** An early joke involving this happens at one point in "Dog Daze of Boredom". Rob shows Johny a paper-mâché hand he made at school countless times making comments like [[HurricaneOfPuns "Sure comes in HANDY!", "Hands down!" and "Gotta HAND this to you!"]]. Johny then asks "Where's your list of puns for this?" and Rob pulls it out. He takes the list and tears it up, much to Rob's glumness.
124** Rob uses another one in "Not-the-FFXII Extras":
125---> '''Rob:''' [[PreemptiveShutUp Shut up]], I can't have awesome one-liners all the time. No wait, I got it! This game's got more deserts than...a bakery! ...Eh? Deserts? Desserts? Heh heh heh. Right?
126---> '''Johny:''' No.
127---> '''Rob:''' DAMN!
128*** Reused by him in the same cartoon:
129----> '''Rob:''' Gee, this game's got more deserts than a...fucking bakery.
130----> '''Johny:''' [[LampshadeHanging It still isn't funny.]]
131----> '''Rob:''' DAMN IT!
132----> (''Johny smiles'')
133* InSeriesNickname: Rob's friend Adrian is nicknamed "ACE".
134* InsistentTerminology: This is a cartoon about fictional people, ''not'' a biography.
135* TheInsomniac: Rob in "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
136* InsomniaEpisode: The episode "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
137* JerkAss: Rob. Besides making his brother's life hell, he always babbles obnoxiously.
138* KangarooCourt: Invoked in "Runesuck":
139--> '''Rob:''' That's horse slaughter! You'll get life in horse court!
140--> '''Johny:''' [[InsistentTerminology Uh,]] ''[[InsistentTerminology unicorn]]'' [[InsistentTerminology court.]] [[BerserkButton They get pissed off when you call them horses.]]
141* {{Kneecapping}}: Parodied in "Pop-a-Cap!".
142* LargeHam: Rob himself.
143* LongList: Happens in "Not-the-Final Fantasy XII".
144--> '''Rob:''' Well, let's see, we have red wolf, orange wolf, brown wolf, blue glowing wolf, wolf on fire, wolf with a top hat, Film/TeenWolf, wolf with a funny mustache, wolf that turns into [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], inside-out wolf--and that's not even counting wolfmen.
145* ManChild: Rob. Very much so.
146* MindScrew: [[http://www.bobert-rob.com/animation/Siblings/Sib05_NTFFXIIExcess.htm "Not-the-FFXII Excess"]].
147** The "Untitled" cartoons as well.
148* MythologyGag: The major plot device of "Don't Sleep, Robby!", with Johny [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] this trope.
149** Not to mention, in the football field scene in "Half Beard", various characters from Rob Winchester's other works show up sitting in the bleachers.
150* NervesOfSteel: Johny.
151* NicheNetwork: ''The Pointless Channel'' in "Dog Daze of Boredom".
152* TheNicknamer[=/=]VerbalTic: Dan, the oldest son of the family, adds "Jew" before Rob's and Johny's names most of the time. So he calls them "[=JewBob=]" and "[=JewJohn=]". Not only that, but Dan also called other people Jews, except for his baby son Mason.
153* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Chew, the chihuahua who confronts Spike in "Dog Daze of Boredom", sounds a lot like Wrestling/HulkHogan. [[WordOfGod The real Rob said]] this is because it annoys him that chihuahuas in general were portrayed as being Mexican in media.
154* NoTitle: The AprilFoolsDay cartoons, simply called "Siblings Untitled".
155* OddlyVisibleEyebrows: In the early episodes.
156* OhCrap: Johny in "Half Beard", when he sees Rob running off to the football field laughing.
157** He also has one at the end of the episode.
158** Also, Johny and Max in "Don't Sleep, Robby!", once Rob [[UnstoppableRage starts going extremely crazy]].
159* OneSteveLimit: Lampshaded by both [[BigBad Vayne]] and [[TheScrappy Vaan]] in "Not-the-FFXII Extras".
160--> '''Vayne:''' Where's Vaan? He's my favorite fag.\
161'''Penelo:''' He's hiding in the corner.
162--> '''Vaan:''' STOP HAVING THE SAME NAME AS ME, VAYNE!
163--> '''Vayne:''' We don't have the same name, Vaan. "Vayne" and "Vaan" are completely different, totally.
164--> '''Vaan:''' Well, at least I'll always be a lot more ''fabulous''!
165* OnlySaneMan: Johny.
166* OutOfCharacterMoment: At one point in "Half Beard", when Johny calls his friend on the phone, he calls ''[=RuneScape=]'', his favorite game, "[=RuneGay=]".
167* OverlyLongGag: Occurs a lot in the "Untitled" cartoons.
168* OverlyLongScream: Used a lot in [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/489365 "Siblings Untitled 01"]], such as the part where Rob and Johny ride a mine cart to a tropical forest screaming. Also at the end, Rob does this before Johny smacks him in the head with a chair.
169* PreemptiveShutUp: Rob has one to Johny in "Not-the-Final Fantasy XII".
170--> '''Rob:''' This game's got more deserts than a, uh...sandbox.
171--> (''Johny stares at Rob'')
172--> '''Rob:''' Shut up, I can't have awesome one-liners all the time.
173* RantComedy
174* RockBottom: From the ending of "Half Beard":
175--> '''Johny:''' [[TemptingFate How could this not get any worse...]]
176--> '''CJ:''' (''offscreen'') Johny!
177--> (''Johny turns to see CJ holding up peacock feathers'')
178--> '''Johny:''' [[OhCrap Oh god, he has two of them!]]
179--> (''Johny runs away, with CJ chasing him with the feathers'')
180* {{Rotoscoping}}: Most of the cells in the series are based on photos that creator Rob Winchester has taken for reference.
181** This trope was most notably explained in [[http://bobert-rob.deviantart.com/art/MAKINGOF-PopaCap-01-88401397 this production picture]] of "Pop-a-Cap!".
182* RubeGoldbergDevice: Invoked by Johny in two episodes.
183** "Don't Wake Robby!":
184---> '''Johny:''' Rob will smell the biscuits and gravy on the plate and come to try and eat it, tugging on the rope which'll pull the needle and the bowling ball will roll down and hit UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln, who'll get pissed off and throw his top hat, pressing the button that'll set the mice loose that'll stampede on the gunpowder that'll ignite on the hot oven which will set the smoke alarm off and make Rob get up. [[TemptingFate My elaborate plan cannot fail!]]
185** "Don't Sleep, Robby!":
186---> '''Johny:''' Haha! Rob will smell this burrito on the plate and come to try and eat it, tugging on the rope that'll pull the thumb tack so the tennis rack will fall and hit UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington in the face, who'll get pissed off and throw an axe that'll release the gerbils that'll chew through the string that'll trigger the catapult that'll shoot the golfball at the button that'll turn on the...
187* RuleOfFunny: If you turn the subtitles on while watching an episode, you might recognize Winchester's snarky commentary in spades.
188* RunningGag: A skull (or occasionally a skeleton) popping up in the background.
189* SayMyName:
190** Ahem...PLAYING RUNESCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE???!!!!!!
191** From version B of "Heinous Anus Zone":
192--> '''Rob:''' CURSE YOU, T!! CURSE YOOOUUUU!!!
193--> '''Mr. T:''' ''Mister''!
194--> '''Rob:''' Right, sorry. MR. TEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
195** Earlier at the very end of "Dog Daze of Boredom": Rob shouts "SPIIIIIIIIIKE!" in a happy tone when he and Johny meet Spike again.
196** Overlapped with the FirstNameUltimatum on "Don't Sleep, Robby!": "JOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN!"
197* TheScream: "PLAYING RUNE'''''SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE?!'''''"
198** "[[UnstoppableRage EXCITE BIKE, BITCH!! WHAT?]] ''[[UnstoppableRage WHAT?!]]'' '''''[[UnstoppableRage WHAT?!! AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!]]'''''"
199* SelfParody: "Siblings Untitled 01" is a parody of "Runesuck" while "Siblings Untitled 04" spoofs "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
200* SequelEpisode: "Don't Sleep, Robby!" is this to "Don't Wake Robby!".
201** And there is one to "Dog Daze of Boredom" that is currently in the works, but unfortunately, [[ScheduleSlip it never happened]].
202* SequelHook: Parodied at the very end of "Half Beard". "Reverse Goatee, coming this ''never!''"
203* ShoutOut: All the songs that Johny plays to make Rob wake up and go to sleep in "Don't Wake Robby!" and "Don't Sleep, Robby!" respectively.
204** At one point in "Don't Sleep, Robby!":
205---> '''Johny:''' I'll be ''back''!
206---> '''Rob:''' [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture To the future]]. (''has {{Twitchy Eye}}s'')
207---> '''Johny:''' (''looks around'') God dammit.
208** "[[VideoGame/{{Excite}} EXCITEBIKE]], BITCH!"
209* SiblingRivalry: Rob and Johny. A bit.
210* SiblingYinYang: Rob and Johny.
211* SirSwearsalot: Rob.
212* SkywardScream: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW PRESENTIIIIIIING THE MAGNIFICENT SPLENDOR OF HALF BEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRD!!!"
213** "CURSE YOU, T!!! CURSE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!"
214*** "Mista!" "Right, sorry. MR. T!!!!!!"
215* {{Sleepyhead}}: Rob in "Don't Wake Robby!".
216* TheStinger: "Half Beard", "tWHYlight", and "Don't Sleep, Robby!".
217* StraightMan: Johny.
218* {{Squee}}: Done by Rob in "Dog Daze of Boredom" after Johny tells him, "I think that school's warping your mind."
219* TakeThat: "Runesuck" is this to ''[=RuneScape=]'' and other [=MMORPGs=] in general.
220** "Not-the-Final Fantasy XII", to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''.
221** And also, the mini-episode "tWHYlight", to ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''.
222* TakeThatAudience: Some of the real Rob's commentary in the episodes' behind-the-scenes scrapbooks.
223** The same goes for most of his voiceover commentary in some episodes.
224* TakeThatScrappy:[[invoked]] The plot device of "Not-the-Final Fantasy XII", itself being a TakeThat towards Vaan, the game's main hero and resident [[TheScrappy Scrappy]].
225* TalkingAnimal: Subverted with Spike, because he only talks in thoughts.
226* ThatPoorCat: Happens to Kyo, Max's cat, in "Don't Sleep, Robby!", when he runs into something that explodes offscreen. This comes after Rob [[UnstoppableRage shouting at Johny]].
227-->'''Max:''' Um, I'll be right back. ''Kyo! Kyo, that's a bad kitty!''
228* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: "Heinous Anus Zone" has this exchange between Rob and Mr. T:
229--> '''Rob:''' All right, well, see you later, T.
230--> '''Mr. T:''' That's ''Mister'' T to you.
231--> '''Rob:''' Yeah. Say hi to ''Mrs.'' T for me!
232* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Rob is very fond of using this trope. And so does the real Rob.
233* ThoseTwoGuys: Mike and Bjorn.
234* ThrowItIn: Mr. T in "Heinous Anus Zone" comes to Winchester's mind while writing the mini-episode, after the part where Johny says "Fool's gold" to Rob was written.
235* TitleConfusion: The Website/YouTube version of ''Siblings Untitled 01'''s second half, titled "Minecart Adventure", led ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' fans to mistake the title for "Mine''craft'' Adventure" and find the clip [[NeverTrustATitle misleading]].
236* ToiletHumor: In "Heinous Anus Zone", Rob comes up with a concept for a good ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' level in which Sonic is shrunk and races in someone's bowels. Johny refuses to hear about it because he thinks it's disgusting. Then at the end, Rob comes up with a revamped version of the level, this time with Sonic quickly running to a bathroom before he poops himself and dies of embarrassment. Johny still doesn't like it.
237* TryAndFollow: In the DreamSequence in "Don't Wake Robby!", Rob jumps off a tall building after being chased by forest rangers and robot guards, thus ending the whole sequence.
238* UnstoppableRage: In "tWHYlight", Rob is in this mode because of how bad ''Twilight'' is.
239** In one scene of "Don't Sleep, Robby!", Rob goes berserk at Johny by screaming at him so he can shoo him out his room (see the "Excite bike, bitch!" quote in TheScream above).
240* UnusualDysphemism: Depending on slang a couple of episodes use to refer to ''[=RuneScape=]''..."Runesuck", "Runegay", "Runeshit", you name it.
