6 | !!''Spy and Pyro'' provides examples of the following tropes: |
7 | |
8 | * AmbiguousGender: Subverted. The Pyro [[spoiler:gives birth to a baby, meaning that biologically at least, she could ''only'' be a woman. But then again, look at the child of their relationship...]] |
9 | * BigBallOfViolence: It results in the death of a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Goomba.]] |
10 | * BinomiumRidiculus: As a nod to the WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner cartoons, both the Spy and the Pyro are given genus/species names (''Espionagius Sapiens Mysentrii'' and ''Incendio [[FlameWar Flamewaricus]]'' respectively) |
11 | * ChaseScene: A short, [[Series/TheBennyHillShow Benny Hill-esque]] one. |
12 | * CouldntFindALighter: While [[spoiler:waiting outside the hospital for the Pyro to give birth]], the Spy lit one of his cigarettes with the flamethrower. |

14 | * TheFaceless: Pyro remains this throughout the entire video. [[spoiler: You do see her torso and legs, though. Turns out she's a black BigBeautifulWoman - at least in Andrew's eyes.]] |
15 | * {{Feghoot}}: Spy. And Pyro. [[spoiler: Fall in love. And then they have a baby.]] See PortmanteauCoupleName below. |

17 | * MouthFullOfSmokes: See above. |
18 | * MustHaveNicotine: BLU Spy in the hospital scene. [[spoiler: He's even willing to consider killing [[VideoGame/HalfLife The G-Man]] to get his fix.]] |

23 | * ShapesOfDisappearance: The RED Pyro realizes an enemy Spy is nearby due to a bite-shaped piece of the sausage they were cooking being missing, with the eaten part of the sausage being outlined with a question mark at the center. |
24 | * ShipperOnDeck: At the wedding, [[VideoGame/HalfLife Gordon and Alyx]] are arm in arm as Alyx ends up catching the bouquet. Eli and Barney immediately nudge the couple and grin. |
25 | * SilenceIsGolden: Referenced in the CreditsGag which states that [[HeroicMime Gordon Freeman]] provided the voice acting. |
26 | * VisualInnuendo: [[spoiler:The entire "sex scene" between the Spy and Pyro consists of traffic cones being moved through rings on ''VideoGame/GarrysMod''.]] |
