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.
13* CrossoverRelatives: The BLU Spy and RED Pyro from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' are hit by Cupid's arrow and have a baby named [[spoiler:[[VideoGameSpyroTheDragon Spyro]]]]
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.
16* MemeticMutation: [[invoked]] [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Chell]] [[{{IWasToldThereWouldBeCake}} finally getting her cake]] at the wedding, BLU Spy's GENTLEMEN face.
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.]]

20* PieEyed: See page image.
21* PunnyName: St. [[VideoGame/GarrysMod Garry's Med]]ical Hospital.
22* PortmanteauCoupleName: [[invoked]] [[spoiler: Provides the source for the {{Pun}}ny ending: BLU Spy + RED Pyro = Purple ''Franchise/{{Spyro|The Dragon}}''.]]
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''.]]
