3
4	''The Nekci Menij Show'', a Website/YouTube animated comedy series created by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GingerTheHorse Ginger The Horse]] (the entire first season is linked on his page), goes behind the scenes to show you what a good chunk of the world's most popular diva/idol singers do in their spare time.
5
6	The show's comedic style is rooted in how [[AutoTune all the characters speak in various text-to-speech voices]] and their ridiculously over-the-top antics. Every character [[SmallNameBigEgo shamelessly promotes all of their musical output as the greatest thing ever produced]], competes for the title of music business AlphaBitch, and [[ButtMonkey abuses]] [[Music/KatyPerry Kety Perr]]. It could also be described as GeniusBonus: Female Pop Edition - fifty percent of any given episode's humor revolves around obscure pop facts and minutae about Billboard chart performances, personal issues of famous pop singers, and single releases. The other fifty percent? [[SadistShow Lots of catty remarks and attempted murders.]]
7
8	Has its own [[http://nekcimenij.tumblr.com/ Tumblr page]] and [[https://twitter.com/NEKCIMENIJ Twitter]] (or, in the parlance of the show, Twattir). And yes, [[https://twitter.com/NEKCIMENIJ/status/242245371861028865 Nekci is aware of this page.]]
9
10	----
11	!!''The Nekci Menij Show'' provides examples of:
12	* AbortedArc: [[spoiler: In Episode 29, Kety accidentally revives Lol Kem, and the episode ends with Lol Kem in a car arriving at the [=FMAs=] (hitting Share and shooting her away in the process). However, there is an almost 3-year hiatus between episodes 29 and 30, and the latter does not resume the interrupted storyline. So far we still don't know what happened at the [=FMAs=], and Lol Kem is probably still alive somewhere.]]
13	* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Medoner pronounces her name "Meh-DOE-ner", whilst many other characters pronounce it "MEH-dun-er".
14	* AccidentalMisnaming:
15	** Almost no one gets Kety's name right, especially Bayonse and Medoner.
16	** In Episode 18, Medoner calls Ke@$h£r "Tri$ha" and "Sa$ha".
17	* AffectionateParody: Believe it or not, [=GingerTheHorse=] has stated that the show is this of pop music fans on TheInternet, and how they can get a little ''too'' carried away when defending their favorite singers. He claims to be a fan of everybody depicted on the show, too.
18	* AlphabetArchitecture: Rhenna's house is shaped like her logo, which is a stylized letter R.
19	* AlphaBitch: [[{{Music/Beyonce}} Bayonse]] believes she's this.
20	-->'''Bayonse:''' Clap 4 da Quen B!
21	* AnalogyBackfire: In episode 27.
22	-->'''[[Music/KylieMinogue Kily]]''': The last washed up songer dat got in my wey ended up quite litrely washed up.
23	-->'''Medoner''': ...That refrense went completly ovar my hed.
24	* {{Animesque}}: [[Music/NoDoubt Gren Stefony]] is modeled this way, particularly in her eyes.
25	* AntiClimax: [[spoiler: [[Music/LilKim Lol Kem's]] rap battle with Nekci ends with Nekci [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just shooting her before she even starts.]]]]
26	* AntiHero: Nekci is easily the most chaotic and unpredictable of the main characters, and yet she names the show.
27	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Adole manages to "give birth" to Kety after eating her.
28	* AutoTune: All of the girls' voices. Most notable is [[{{Music/Kesha}} Ke@$h£r]], who sounds exactly like a robot.
29	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: Kety accidentally revives Lol Kem in Episode 29.]]
30	* BaitAndSwitch: In episode 27, it looks as though Bayonse is frantically searching for her lost daughter Blo Ive, when it's revealed she was looking for... a missing small gold statue of herself.
31	* BallroomBlitz: Episode Five, Haus Perty, turns into this once [[Music/ChristinaAguilera Xtine]] insults Britain and Nekci eggs everyone into fighting each other.
32	* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler:[[Music/KatyPerry Kety Perr]]]]
33	** [[Music/LilyAllen Loly Alan]] who in episodes 27-28 takes [[Music/MariahCarey Merier Care]] and Kily to a deserted island in her air balloon and strands them there.
34	* BigEater: ''Adole.''
35	* BlackComedy
36	* BoastfulRap: Medoner's "I Don't Give A".
37	* BrutalHonesty: ''Everyone''.
38	* ButtMonkey: [[Music/KatyPerry Kety Perr]] can't get anyone to see her new film [[Film/KatyPerryPartOfMe Pert of Me]]. [[spoiler: It eventually [[AxeCrazy makes her snap]] and try to first murder, then kidnap, Nekci.]] In terms of music sales, Xtine is easily the show's biggest ButtMonkey as well - she's doing poorly enough to offer her album Bionec, her latest film {{Film/Burlesque}}, and a bucket of KFC Popcorn Chicken in a value pack for two dollars and her house itself is built out of unsold copies of the album.
39	** Whenever Krely Roolind is mentioned, you can be sure someone will be insulting her or telling her to get them a coffee.
40	* CharacterCelebrityEndorsement: Parodied with [[{{Music/Rihanna}} Rhenna]] and HTC electronics (Episode 14).
41	-->'''Rhenna''': "My HCT is ringing. Who could be ringing my ''HCT''?"
42	* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
43	-->'''[[Music/JessieJ Jasy J:]]''' Xtine u shud thenk me. Wen i seng ferget abut teh prace teg i wus askin ppl not to judg ur ablum for costin 99p.
44	-->'''Xtine:''' Gled my mesterpize is stil mekin a culterul impect 2 yrs on.
45	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: In Episode Ten, Kety threatens to kill Nekci if not everyone watches her film. Bayonse's response to that?
46	-->'''Bayonse:''' Free promo!
47	* DeadpanSnarker: The humor is mostly built on sarcastic remarks the characters make on each other.
48	* TheDitz: [[Music/BritneySpears Brinty Spreas]].
49	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Kety Perr in the Christmas special.]]
50	* DudeLooksLikeALady: {{Invoked}} with [[Music/LadyGaga Ladey Gags]], who sounds exactly like a man and looks... like a robot, probably in reference to the famous urban legend that Lady Gaga is a transvestite.
51	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In the first episode, Brinty has a different voice, which is later given to Kety. Also, the influence from ''[[WebAnimation/TheUncleDolanShow The Uncle Dolan Show]]'' is much clearer in the early episodes: they are much shorter, they mostly feature the characters' sharp interactions on a white background, with little sign of a clear plot, and even the background music is similar. As the series progressed, it developed its own plot and humor, with longer episodes, more detailed scenery (though still with StylisticSuck), and replacing the generic background music with samples from actual pop songs.
52	* EpicFail: [[{{Music/Madonna}} Medoner's]] latest album, MDNE, and its sales. It was certified 2x tissue paper - for selling ten copies!
53	** Medoner's understanding of modern technology isn't great either - she believes her rotary telephone is "Facebook".
54	* TheEponymousShow: The show is named after the main character, Nekci Menij.
55	* EveryDeviceIsASwissArmyKnife: Parodied in Episode 31. "General Product by [=LJo=]" is a perfume, a make-up, a hair dye, a hair remover, and a DVD for her new romcom.
56	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Kety changes her hair from pink to purple in "Rhenna Holidey", to reflect her darker turn in personality.
57	* FakeBrit: In-universe. Xtine pointedly reminds Medoner and Merna during Episode Five that they aren't English.
58	* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: Even thought she has apparently killed herself in the Christmas special, it turns out that Kety is actually alive and well in Episode 19, when it's revealed that Merier was keeping her as a slave to do her bidding, namely stealing the only copy of Gags' new album Artpip.]]
59	* FelonyMisdemeanor: Kety's plan to force everyone to see Pert of Me in 3D is treated as such by Adole, Lady Gags, and Xtine.
60	* {{Flanderization}}: The series, in a way. Individual traits whether real or speculative of the real people the characters are based on are blown up to absurd degrees.
61	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Xtine.
62	* TheFunInFuneral: [[spoiler:Lol Kem's]].
63	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Most of what happens during "Blow" in Episode Five.
64	* GilliganCut: In Episode 12; Lol Kem and Nekci are about to have a rap battle, when Nekci suddenly pulls out a gun and shoots her. The next shot after insisting that Lol Kem will be fine? [[spoiler:The cast at Lol Kem's funeral.]]
65	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Many of the jokes surrounding Rhenna concern her frequent intoxication including forgetting recording her own songs and even where she is.
66	* HenpeckedHusband: Zey-J.
67	* HeterosexualLifePartners / VitriolicBestBuds: Rhenna and Adole.
68	* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Poor Blo Ive. Not only is she constantly being sold or stolen, but she is also a victim of parental neglect (for example, after Kily Manoge steals her, Bayonse feels like something is missing, except it's not Blo Ive but her "Quen B" crown, and Bayonse also finds it more fun to hang out in Merier's hospital looking for opportunities to hurt people's feelings than to look after Blo Ive).
69	* IgnoredEpiphany: Nekci has a slight one in episode 27: "Rivelry betwen femeles is dum and gey", and then forgets it immediately by adding "like [[Music/AzealiaBanks Azel Bank]]".
70	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Kety as seen most in episode 14.
71	* TheIlluminati: Bayonse and Medoner are both members. [[BreadMilkEggsSquick They have BBQs, bingo nights, and turn other pop stars into robots so that Bayonse can be the new queen of pop]].
72	* ImAHumanitarian: Played with three times with Kety:
73	** In Episode 4, Kety tries to sell Adole her album "Tenge Dream". Since the album has a candy smell, Adole ends up eating both the album and Kety herself. Adole somehow [[ArtisticLicenseBiology "gives birth" to Kety]] in the following episode.
74	** [[spoiler: The Christmas episode ends in everyone feasting on Kety, who has apparently killed herself by putting herself inside an oven, so Merier later brings her body as a "turkey". Later on this is subverted, as Kety is revealed to still be alive, since she was saved by Merier who wanted to keep her a slave. (No explanation is given about the body from the Christmas special, though.)]]
75	** Finally, in episode 32, spoofing Katy Perry's music video for "Bon Appetit", Krely serves Bayonse a "salad", which is actually Kety, redesigned to parody Katy's looks during the Witness era. She is not eaten, though, and Bayonse makes a complaint about the "salad", which, according to her, "is clerly in realty an unstable women".
76	* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Stemming from ''Dolan'', the characters speak extremely broken English, the captions are deliberately misspelled, and the names of the characters, songs and albums are broken versions of the respective artists and works they parody. Recurring examples of corrupted words are "ablum" for "album", "songer" for "singer", "boby" for "baby", and "lesbon" for "lesbian".
77	* JerkassHasAPoint: At first, it might've seemed rude on Ke@$h£r's part not to want Xtine in her house party, but she actually had a point, given how Xtine ruined the party by picking a fight with Jasy J, which culminated in a brawl.
78	* KangarooCourt: After ARTPOP is stolen, Gags arbitrarily decides that [=LJo=] was the one who did it, so she sends her backing dancers to arrest her and holds a "trial" with Gags herself serving as both the judge and the prosecuter, and she sentences [=LJo=] to 5 thousand years in prison, despite not having any evidence. However, she immediately believes Ke@$h£r when she says [=LJo=] is innocent, and after Merier confesses she was the one who stole it, Gags gives her a two-month sentence, so she can get out in time to buy the album.
79	* LadyDrunk: Medoner, though drunkenness is not as integral to her character as Rhenna's.
80	* OhCrap: Adole and Ke@$h£r's reaction to [[spoiler: Kety being hit by a bus [[ItMakesSenseInContext while in a baby pram]].]]
81	-->'''Adole and Ke@$h£r:''' Oh shit.
82	* OnlySixFaces: Kety Perr, Nekci Menij, Bayonse, Medoner, and Azel Bank all have the same character design with different coloration. The face is derived from ''Webcomic/{{Dolan}}'' comics.
83	** Played especially for laughs from when episode 26 onwards, Blo Ive has the same facial features as father [[Music/JayZ Zey-J]].
84	* OrphanedSeries: The series themselves experienced this after episode 32, as the last proper episode was uploaded in 2018, and since then only a trailer to Medoner's "Mrs. X" album and reuploads of the entire ''Nekci & Friends All-Star Studio'' season (after the original host channel myISH shut down) were uploaded on the show's channel, all in 2019.
85	** The ''Nekci Menij Show Advent Calendar'' series of videos suffered from this way more - it was a series of videos uploaded during each day of December made to act out as an actual Advent Calendar, where different character from the show's cast would come out of each opening of the calendar, and reward viewers with the gifts that could be found in the descriptions of each video. It only managed to last 5 days of December 2014 and since then has been abandoned entirely.
86	* PaletteSwap: Kety, Nekci, Bayonse and Medoner's standard designs are just palette swaps of each other, since all are designed after Dolan and have the exact same hair (though Medoner also has wrinkles and Nekci has eyelashes, and the characters are occasionally given different hairstyles). Azel Bank is also designed after Dolan, but her standard hair looks slighly different from the other four's.
87	* ThePigPen: Ke@$h£r. She has a slice of pizza and a toothbrush in her hair!
88	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy:
89	** Gren Stefony believes she is really Japanese.
90	** Kety briefly adopts a 'black' image in Episode 28 to try and look cool to the other girls.
91	* RaceLift: For some reason, Rhenna is shown as being white here, while the other black characters aren't.
92	** Gren Stefony makes her debut appearance in episode 30, and shamelessly admits to Gags that she, unlike Gren herself, is not Japanese.
93	* RobotMe: Bayonse's plan for dominating the charts includes replacing all the other pop stars with robot clones who delay their albums, make terrible collaborations, and re-release their flops, so that Bayonse will be the only pop star of note.
94	* RoseHairedSweetie: Kety has pink hair, and is noticeably nicer than the other characters.[[spoiler: Until episode 9, that is.]]
95	* RunningGag: Kety Perr's shameless promotion of Pert of Me, Medoner's shameless promotion of MDNE, [[RuleOfThree Xtine's shameless promotion of Bionic]], P£nk working all the minimum wage service jobs...
96	** The latter is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Medoner when she encounters her at the P£nk Arelines:
97	--->'''Medoner''': O were stil doing the joak wiv the lesbon werking everwher? Ok
98	* SadistShow: No one in the show is anything less than an egomaniac.
99	* SassyBlackWoman: Nekci, Bayonse and Rhenna.
100	* SavedToEnslave: [[spoiler: Kety tries to commit suicide by locking herself inside an oven, but Merier saves her to keep her a slave.]]
101	* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Though she has stiff competition, Medoner is the oldest main character and has perhaps the most acerbic humor and forthrightness in her dialogues with the other women.
102	* ShamelessSelfPromotion: Most of the women.
103	* ShoutOut: So, so many to the music industry.
104	** The show branched out from its heavy ''Dolan'' influence pretty quickly, but some references to ''Dolan'' still abound such as UsefulNotes/McDonalds being called [=McDolans=] and Nekci's recurring catchphrase of "[Name] pls".
105	* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Most lines of dialogue in the show involve the pop girls throwing shade at each other, bragging about their own success and trying to prove the other one is a "flop".
106	* SmallNameBigEgo: Xtine is the second biggest ButtMonkey in the show after Kety and she's unanimously considered a "flop", but that doesn't stop her from thinking of herself a hugely successful and talented artist, and she's prone to [[ComicallyMissingThePoint twisting insults into compliments]].
107	* {{Spinoff}}: Bayonse's Quens of Flop and Medoner's Behind the Scones.
108	* SplitScreenPhoneCall: Utilized most notably in episode 3.
109	* SpoilerTitle: [[spoiler: The title of episode 19, "Kety's Revenge", spoils Kety Perr's return.]]
110	* SpotlightStealingTitle: [[IAmTheBand "Bayonse Presants Beyonse's Destins Child Sterin Bayonse nd Faturin Bayonse"]].
111	* StylisticSuck: Much like in the ''Dolan'' comics and web videos, this trope is very prevalent here, including the goofy character designs which are caricatures of pop stars, the poorly-drawn (yet surprisingly detailed, especially in later episodes) scenery, and the intentionally misspelled and mispronounced lines of dialogue. Like in ''Dolan'', it's all part of the humor.
112	* TakeThat: TheSeries. None of the singers gets a free pass. Medoner, Xtine Agailure, and Kety Perr are thrown under the bus (literally in Katy's case) for their ShamelessSelfPromotion; [[Music/JessieJ Jasy J]] is repeatedly insinuated to have broken her leg to boost album sales; Nekci Menij is turned into an insane agent of chaos/rapper-for-hire; and Bayonse's ego is implied to be through the roof. Even relatively unknown acts are taken to task; Merna and The Dermonds has this to say about her music:
113	-->'''Merna''': Holywode and amaricon cultur is bad for us and menstram pop lyk Xtine is faek. [[HypocriticalHumor Esept if its ironec lyk min.]]
114	** Nicole Scherzinger's stand-in's name is Nicel Shitsinger.
115	** Medoner holds an adoption agency loyalty card and repeatedly tries to steal black children.
116	** When Brinty is replaced by a robot with no personality and terrible career choices, Medoner comments that she's not much different from her human self.
117	** Gren Stefony's admiration for all things Japanese applies when she admits that she herself, is actually Japanese. Her 2016 album is also mocked, being called "This Is What A 10 Year Break Sells Like".
118	* TerribleTrio: Bayonse, Krely and Mashelle in episode 30. Bayonse has finally reunited with her former Destin's Child bandmates, who are now Bayonse's "top agents" who are trying to track down "Bekcy"... though Krely only procrastinates by googling "mashelle weliums memes", and Mashelle's "investigation" consists of calling random people and asking "helo, r u bekcy".
119	* TrappedTheWrongTarget: In Episode 27, Zey-J ends up accidentally capturing Eggy instead of Kily when Bayonse asks him to bring her "the ostralian".
120	* TheUnintelligible: [[Music/ArianaGrande Arana Grondy]] when she sings. According to Rhenna, she sounds like Merier "forgot how to English".
121	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: While most of the show's disses are done in witty one or two-liners at most, Adole greatly extended against both Bayonse and [[Music/LanaDelRey Lona Delery]] in episode 7.
122	* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: [[BoastfulRap "Ders only 1 quen, n dats Medoner..."]]
123	* UnusualEuphemism: "If I hav to flash my sponge puding then so be it" by Medoner in episode 27.
124	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: The characters' real-life music releases, sales, public images and tabloid rumors provide most of the plot points.
125	* TheVoiceless: Krely Roolind. [[spoiler: Until Episode 17.]]
126	* VolleyingInsults: Quite often throughout the show, but episode 28 in particular sees it done by multiple divas around a table.
127	* WaxingLyrical: The characters often drop lines from their songs into normal conversation.
128	* WhatAreYouInFor: Gags keeps [=LJo=] and Lona as prisoners in Episode 19. [=LJo=] tries to convince Gags that they're not guilty, but then asks Lona what she's in for, and when Lona says that she "singed abowt how gags is a twat", [=LJo=] concludes that Lona is actually guilty.
129	* WithFriendsLikeThese: The main characters are supposedly "friends", even though they spend most time throwing jabs at each other and sabotaging each other's careers, if not trying to harm or kill each other.
