5''[[http://www.gloveandboots.com Glove and Boots]]'' is a [[VlogSeries Video Blog]] focusing on two puppets, Mario and [[TalkingAnimal Fafa the Groundhog]]. They often discuss things that are going on, in both their lives and in the world, from the ZombieApocalypse to TimeTravel to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Twinkies.]]
6
7The show was created by Damien Eckhardt-Jacobi (Mario) and Vincent Bova (Fafa), two street performers who used puppets to entertain people on the New York City subway. Met with variable success, they began posting videos in 2004 with a style that was reminiscent of a pastiche of early edutainment shows like ''Series/SesameStreet'' and ''Series/TheElectricCompany1971'', complete with some music videos. The show was on hiatus until 2010, at which time the format received some changes in technology and switched to a slightly older demographic, with more references to pop culture and the like.
8
9In 2012, ''Glove and Boots'' won a Twitter Shorty Award for Best Videoblogger.
10
11Underwent a minor overhaul in 2017, introducing a gaming channel and 4 new recurring segments:
12* Paradoke (A karaoke parody series);
13* "Don't be a Dummy" with Johnny T. (In which Johnny teaches viewers not to be a dummy);
14* "Uncle Joe's Stories". In which CoolUncle Joe the Squirrel tells funny stories of his life ;
15* And a reboot of Mario's Word of the Week.
16
17In late 2017, the channel ran into money troubles due to changes in the [=YouTube=] algorithm (mainly the site cracking down on anything their advertisers deem inappropriate for children, and ''Glove and Boots'' unfortunately tends to fall into the AnimationAgeGhetto) and in video sharing on Facebook, and was forced to go on hiatus. After more than a year, they announced in December 2018 that they would start making new content focusing on appealing to a younger audience.
18
19Their Website/YouTube channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/gloveandboots here]], and their (sadly now inactive) gaming channel can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKTT20-NqBt2SNS_IoZMLw here]]. Their posts are often on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and occasionally make it onto Reddit. They also have separate Twitter accounts for [[https://twitter.com/marioglove Mario]] and for [[http://twitter.com/fafagroundhog Fafa]]. Videos up to Season 7 from both the main channel and gaming channel are also available on Platform/{{Vimeo}} [[https://vimeo.com/gloveandboots/albums here]], including some that were removed from [=YouTube=] to fit with the changes made in 2018 and 2019.
20
21As of December 2020, the channel along with all of its social media platforms are currently inactive, most likely because of [=YouTube=]'s policy enforced by COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), the global COVID-19 Pandemic, "The Ring-A-Tangs" [=YouTube=] Channel, and the departure of puppeteer, Vincent Bova who moved away from New York (where the show was filmed) to Pennsylvania in August 2020. Their most recent video was uploaded on December 30, 2019.
22----
23!!This work provides examples of:
24* AffectionateParody: Several of their videos are these, such as "[[Franchise/{{Saw}} Jigsaw Puzzle]]", "The [[Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse Pee-wee Herman]] Blog", "[[Creator/DrSeuss An Ode to Seuss]]", and the music videos featuring Gorilla, like "[[Music/VillagePeople Gorillage People]]" and "[[Music/CarlyRaeJepsen Call Me Maybe]].
25* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
26** Inverted in "Restaurant Etiquette" with how Mario describes the three main kinds of people at a restaurant:
27---> '''The Waiter''': Person that takes your order
28---> '''The Cook''': Person that makes your food
29---> '''Other Customers''': Annoying people at the other tables who talk too loud and order the last dish of the special you wanted.
30** This comment on "The Most Dangerous Sport":
31--->'''Megachamp''':The most is Fishing on a boat. You'll either die of drowning, consumption, rotor or boredom.
32** The number one item in their [[TopTenList Top Ten Lists]] is often less extreme than the rest of the list. Mario [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] this in "Ten Things You Shouldn't Do While Camping" when he tries to mix things up by making number one "Get lost, fall down, and break your leg".
33* AxCrazy: Jack Woods, full stop. Armed with a shotgun loaded with holy wafers and sunshine.
34* BeingEvilSucks: Zombie is a nice guy who adores puppies and singing, but by virtue of being a brain-eating zombie, is not really accepted by Fafa or Mario.
35* BreakingTheFourthWall: All the time. %%In an AMA Reddit answer video, when someone asked them to "show the fourth wall," they tilted the camera. [Someone help me with this part.]%%
36* BrickJoke:
37** [[RealLifeWritesThePlot While it may have not intended to be,]] Mario making Fafa a sandwich in "Photoshop Tutorial," only for Gorilla to eat it in an AMA Reddit answer video a few months later counts as one.
38** Near the beginning of ''Top 10 Reasons Time Travel is No Good'', a time-travelling Mario tries to stop Present!Mario and Present!Fafa from making the current blog, which Present!Mario ignores as he doesn't trust him, with Future!Fafa explaining that Time travel's frustrating and that they should make it number 1. Fast forward to number 1, where Mario tries to disprove it by stopping the blog before it starts, rewinding time back to near the start of the video, where the previously occurred events play out again.
39* BrooklynRage: Fafa's cousin, Johnny T, has all the qualities, from the accent to the attitude.
40* CallingYourAttacks: In Zombie University:
41--> '''Mario''': KNIFE TO THE EYYYE! ''(shink!)''
42* CantTakeAnythingWithYou: One of the downsides of time travel discussed is that you show up naked, an example demonstrated with how the Franchise/{{Terminator}} showed up in the nude after going back in time from the future.
43* CatchPhrase:
44** Johnny T.: "Boom. Done."
45** As shown on the Reddit question series, Stewart can only say, "I LOVE vertical videos!"
46*** Although, as of the 100,000 Subscribers special, he has said more than "I LOVE vertical videos!"
47* CelebCrush: Mario has one on Music/KatyPerry. He also mentions Mila Kunis (he often pronounces the name "Mina Kulis" though) a lot, even flirting with her in a (fake) interview.
48* ChristmasEpisode: "Carol of the Mehs," featuring Gorilla, along with "The Glove and Boots Christmas Spectacular."
49* ChromosomeCasting: To the chagrin of many a Website/YouTube commentator, there has never been a female character on the blog. {{Handwaved}} in one video where Mario says that he's holding out for Music/KatyPerry.
50--> '''Mario:''' You're damn right I'm holding out for Music/KatyPerry!
51* CloudCuckooLander:
52** Surprisingly, Fafa is more of a cloudcuckoolander than the hyperactive Mario. Mario does some illogical things, but usually in the Music Videos where he gets over-excited. Fafa is the one who comes up with most of the crazy ideas in the blog. And most of the ideas, period. Most of the ideas are crazy.
53** Fafa becomes a REALLY huge one in "The Pee-wee Herman Blog", which kind of comes as expected considering he's playing... well, Pee-wee Herman.
54** And there was that one time when he made a happy-go-lucky song about DOOMSDAY.
55%%** Stan Lee, and Thor too to an extent
56* ContinuityNod: In "Fun Health Care Alternatives," when Mario explains what one could do when king, there is a picture from the SPAM blog where the [=SPAMs=] were going to burn him at the stake.
57* {{Corpsing}}: Oftentimes the puppeteers won't hold their laughter during blogs, and they won't try to hide it in the final product. An InUniverse example occurs in [[https://youtu.be/Zt8NJ_7PsKY "Testing Four Things We Found At The Dollar Store"]], where they had to stop the video for a couple seconds (the screen displaying a "Laugh Break" card) because they were laughing too hard.
58* CurseCutShort: "Jigsaw Puzzle"
59--> '''Mario:''' Why you rotten, no good, son of a-!
60* DestinationDefenestration: Happens in the Word of the Week video for "Defenestrate". To demonstrate the word, Mario throws himself out of the window, thinking he'll be okay because Superman does it all the time, despite the fact he's wearing a Robin costume.
61* ADogNamedDog: Gorilla. No points for guessing his species.
62** Zombie is a, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you know...]]
63* DelayedReaction: In "Fix Your Grammar", Fafa notices Johnny T. is in his Nazi outfit a little bit after he comes in.
64* DisruptingTheTheater: The video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz5Qwd93VpE Movie Theater Etiquette]]" is all about this trope, detailing things on what not to do in a theater, including talking during the movie and having your phone go off.
65* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
66** The early videos from 2004-2006 have several differences from the video blogs that began in the 2010s, most notably with Mario's accent and design, as well as several characters that haven't appeared at all in the video blog series.
67** To a lesser extent, this also applies to the blogs from 2011. The blogs almost always stuck to the "house" backdrop, lines of dialogue were more frequently split up into different takes, and the lighting was different.
68* EdutainmentShow: Early videos tended to be similar to ''Sesame Street'' in that there would be a lesson about certain words like Mario's "Word of the Day" (cyanoacrylate). Now they've moved on to explaining pop culture, although "Word of the Day" (now "Word of the Week") has reappeared.
69* EpicFail: When playing ''VideoGame/RockBand'', Mario, Fafa, and Gorilla manage to lose both after the song was already over and ''before'' they even started playing!
70** Mario was so taken in by Hanzi's commercial in "Amazing Product Commercial" that he bought seven boxes of Amazing Product when he and Fafa were supposed to be selling it in the first place. What drives this into EpicFail territory is the fact that we never find out [[WhatWereTheySellingAgain what Product is]].
71* ExactWords: "Worst Game Show Ever!":
72--> '''Hanzi:''' Do you agree with Zombie Max Headroom?
73--> '''Mario:''' What? No, I do not agree! Answer is Denver Broncos!
74--> '''Hanzi:''' No, sorry, is correct! Zombie Headroom ''does'' love brains!
75** Later:
76---> '''Hanzi:''' But don't you want to try quick-fire round?
77---> '''Mario:''' Yes!
78---> '''Fafa:''' Mario, don't--
79---> '''Hanzi:''' Then hold still as you are quick-ly lit on fi- re!
80%%* FantasticComedy
81* GassyScare: In the ''Don't Be a Dummy (with Johnny T.)'' episode "Don't Google Your Illness":
82-->'''Johnny T.:''' The other day, my stomach was kinda upset. So I googled what I should do. In fifteen minutes, I was convinced that I had cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, fibromyalgia, and AIDS. I didn't have none of those! Turns out, I just had to take a sh-[[SoundEffectBleep *bleep*]].
83* TheGhost: Apparently Fafa has a sister, but she's never seen and mentioned only once.
84%%* GilliganCut
85* AGodAmI: Creator/StanLee claims to be this in "Movies, Thor, and Stan Lee."
86--> '''Stan:''' I remember when I created Earth, space, time, and matter!
87* GrammarNazi: Briefly played with in "Fix Your Grammar" when Johnny T. comes into the blog in his Nazi outfit [[note]]last seen in "The Hero's Journey" video[[/note]]. Although also played straight, as Johnny T. really doesn't like people using incorrect words and grammar.
88* GroinAttack: In "Mario's Word of the Week - Lalochezia", Fafa intends to convey the word's meaning[[note]]The use of vulgar language to relieve stress, or pain[[/note]] by kicking Mario in the nuts. [[spoiler:Instead, Mario tricks Fafa into getting kicked in the nuts.]]
89* HappyDance: The Apocalypse didn't happen! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnd5F-doyKo Dance Gorilla!]]
90* HeterosexualLifePartners: If "Time Machine" is to be believed, Mario and Fafa have been pals since the days of the dinosaurs.
91* HiddenDepths: Mario has moments of surprising competency, such as in "Do you know the way to San Jose?", when Mario can from memory cite the necessary route from Brooklyn, New York to San Jose, California.
92** He can also [[MotorMouth speedily]] name every actor who has played James Bond up until the year 2014 when his status as 'the biggest James Bond fan' is challenged.
93* HilariousOuttakes:
94** The upload of "Evolution of the Hipster" was followed by an outtake reel shortly after. There have been five outtake videos since, with the sixth being split into two parts.
95** Outtakes will also sometimes appear as TheStinger, such as in "Ten Terrible Lawn Decorations".
96* HostileShowTakeover: Gorilla in "Fafa's Photoshop Tutorial", after catching him red-handed messing with computer Gorilla.
97* HypocriticalHumor: See I Resemble That Remark below.
98** Also Invoked in "Fix Your Grammar."
99--->'''Fafa:''' Our vernacular ain't so great neither, so we're not tryin' to be preachy or anything.
100* InterfaceScrew: In the [[{{Irony}} now-removed]] Word of the Week video for "Indelible"[[note]]Cannot be forgotten, removed or erased[[/note]], the word "indelible" is still onscreen during the "Thanks for watching!" screen, the "See you next week!" screen, and even the Bento Box logo at the very end. The text under the Bento Box logo even reads "Get that word away from our logo."
101* IResembleThatRemark: Mario's take on about 80% of EVERY OPINION. He doesn't change. Ever. [[note]]but we love him anyway[[/note]]
102* {{Irony}}: "Everything Needs An Update" is full of this. Throughout the video, Fafa is in the process of updating ''everything'' in the house in order to optimize, improve or make things more convenient, from replacing their books with a Kindle, to updating various electronic objects like Mario's phone, the computer, the fridge, the toaster, and so forth. Sounds fine enough...except Mario cannot actually ''do'' any of the things he wants to do ''because'' everything is updating and taking extremely long to do so, thus making his situation so utterly inconvenient that it drives him up the wall. [[spoiler: He can't even go outside because ''[[MakesJustASMuchSenseInContext Bill Gates somehow managed to figure out how to stop global warming by a process that requires updating the outdoors for the next 72 hours.]]'']]
103* LargeHam:
104** [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], of course!
105** This is the main reason why [[SnakeOilSalesman Hanzi]] is so popular.
106* LetsPlay: A few episodes are this, with Mario and Fafa playing some [[NintendoHard classic NES games]] on their Wii, as well as a little bit of ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' and ''VideoGame/RockBand''.
107* LifeOrLimbDecision: In "Jigsaw Puzzle," in order to get out of the handcuffs, Mario cuts Fafa's arm off with a hacksaw.
108-->'''Fafa:''' Did you have to cut it off at the shoulder? I don't even got no nub!
109-->'''Mario:''' A difficult decision had to be made!
110* LighterAndSofter: The goal of the 2018-2019 season was to pivot the channel's content towards kids, ranging from an edutainment-like feel similar to their pre-2010 videos (such as "Naughty or Nice" and "Mario Interviews Number 1") to videos with a similar feel to the early-mid 2010s seasons without the vulgar or violent content (such as "The Terrible History of Photographs" and "There's No Bad Pizza").
111* MadeOfIron: Subverted in "Amazing Product Commercial" when Hanzi drives over the Amazing Product to demonstrate how tough it is.
112--> Hanzi: It broke. [{{beat}}] Don't do that!
113* {{Malaproper}}: Evidently, "heighth" is used [[RealLife pretty commonly on the internet,]] as shown in "Fix Your Grammar."
114* ManlyTears: "Nine Movies that Make Men Cry" is centered around movies that invoke this.
115* MergingMachine: In "The Teleporter", Mario and Gorilla end up fusing together after going through the teleporter together; the resulting fusion is quickly dubbed "Gorillario" by Johnny T. [[spoiler:The same happens to Fafa and Johnny T at the end of the video, with the fusion promptly dubbing itself "Fafa T".]]
116* MirrorMatch:
117** The ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' 2012 Debate, between Red Master Chief and Blue Master Chief.
118** [[http://youtu.be/qrSt5fTFxPk Fafa's Ping Pong match]] takes it to an extreme.
119* MockHeadroom: In "Worst Game Show Ever!", the first round of Hanzi's game show is based on ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'' and features Zombie Max Headroom in the center square, who's represented by a Zombie puppet dressed as Max Headroom, is inside a TV like him, and electronically stutters like him.
120-->'''Fafa:''' Why is he a zombie? Max Headroom's not dead.
121-->'''Hanzi:''' His career is!
122* MondegreenGag: In "[=#CancelGloveAndBoots=]", when Mario and Fafa are blogging about juice, Mario says he doesn't like juice. When a {{troll}} watches the blog, he thinks Mario said [[MistakenForRacist he doesn't like Jews]] and tries to get the blog cancelled.
123* {{Montages}}: The video blog makes liberal use of various kinds of montages, be it a {{sad|TimesMontage}} or [[GoodTimesMontage happy]].
124* NewMediaAreEvil:
125** In "Ten Reasons Why We Hate Website/{{Facebook}}"; but in this case, rather than the media itself, it's mostly the people that use said media.
126** "Candy Crush Saga is Evil" is a straighter example, with Fafa outright saying it wants your brains.
127* NoodleIncident: In "Restaurant Etiquette", Fafa mentions '''something''' happening in iHop that caused Mario and Fafa to get banned from it.
128* ObfuscatingStupidity: Santa lets himself be tied up and makes Mario and Fafa think that he's gone crazy in their ChristmasEpisode ''just'' so he can have some fun because Christmas Eve is boring.
129* ObsoleteOccupation: Discussed in the episode ''"Top 10 reasons why Time Travelling is no good"'' when Fafa points out how you can't get a job in the past or future with your current job skills. Then Mario goes on to provide an example.
130-->''PAST''
131-->'''Mario:''' Well, I write blogs for a living.
132-->'''Employer:''' Ha ha ha! You can't make a living doing that!
133-->''FUTURE''
134-->'''Mario:''' Well, I write blogs for a living.
135-->'''Employer:''' Ha ha ha! You still ''write''?!
136* OhCrap: Mario's reaction to a number of potential disasters, ranging from Temporal destruction to Doomsday.
137* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Often happens due to {{Corpsing}}, as mentioned above. Mario is the most likely candidate, and his [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent accent]] has slipped multiple times in the LetsPlay episodes, specifically the [[NintendoHard classic NES games]] on their Wii.
138* {{Puppet Show|s}}: Of course... right?
139* RedOniBlueOni: Mario, a loud guy very prone to being overly emotional, is the red oni to the calmer and more rational (most of the time) Fafa's blue.
140* RelaxOVision: Used liberally during "Jigsaw Puzzle".
141* RidiculousFutureInflation: In the future, a [=McRib=] costs sixty-four thousand dollars.
142* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Mario's Word of the Week has gone awry twice because of typos. The episode for "Degust" was supposed to be for "Disgusting", and the episode for "Riposte" was supposed to be for "Repost".
143* ShoutOut: There are tons of references to various bits of pop culture from over the years, ranging from ''Film/TopGun'' to ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead''.
144** Naturally, being puppets, Muppet references pop up sometimes. (Mario having his first initial on his bed is a reference to Ernie and Bert's beds).
145** Mario and Fafa's even worse Presidential Candidates are [[Film/TheForceAwakens Kylo Ren]], [[Film/Dracula1931 Dracula]], [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Gargamel]], [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Mojo Jojo]], [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} Bluto]], [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration one of the Borg]], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and]] [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]].
146** From the same video, Mojo Jojo had a plan to [[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlsS1E1MonkeySeeDoggieDoMommyFearest turn Congress into dogs]].
147* ShmuckBait: The Lollipop Hat in "Jigsaw Puzzle", which doesn't seem to have as much to do with lollipops as it does with blades slowly closing in on the head of whoever wears it.
148* SitcomArchNemesis: With [=DJTayJames=], the official DJ of Music/JustinBieber, during their competition for Twitter's 2012 Shorty awards.
149* SlipperySlopeFallacy: PlayedForLaughs in "vertical video syndrome", where they claim vertical smartphone video will lead to theaters having to be rebuilt to have vertical screens, that birds will hurt themselves flying into tall theaters, that people will get stiff necks from looking up so much, and finally implying that movies will be [[PanAndScan pan and scanned]] to vertical formats.
150* SnakeOilSalesman: In his introductory video, Mario found Hanzi on Craig's List specifically to sell their crappy product by making his [[LargeHam hammy]] commercial. It doesn't go as planned. See EpicFail.
151* SoundEffectBleep: Sassy, but not cheaply vulgar. Mario gets these often, as does Johnny T. in "The Hero's Journey".
152-->'''Johnny T:''' This guy's a real piece of sh[BLEEP]t.
153* SpaceWhaleAesop: The message of "This VIDEO will BLOW YOUR MIND and be the BEST PART OF YOUR DAY!" is "Don't fall for Clickbait and share them with everybody, because you'll be eaten by 'a horrible monster named Luis'".
154* StupidCrooks: Pirates robbed Mario and Fafa, buried the money somewhere in New York City, and then promptly forgot where they buried it.
155* TalkingAnimal: Fafa and Gorilla, although the latter speaks in "mehs."
156* TakeThat:
157** Hipsters get a whole video dedicated to how annoying they are.
158** "Hanzi's Video Review" is a parody of the review videos of Website/{{YouTube}}r Ray William Johnson.
159** Mario and Fafa make their distaste for Pepsi quite clear in "Your Ad Here".
160** In their parody of ''Blurred Lines'' by Robin Thicke and Pharrell, Mario keeps singing [[NonSequitur non-sequitur]] lines that he made up about random things, such as the letter A. When Fafa tells him that he's ruining the song, Mario answers that everyone's been sick of the original song for 18 months, so he's not really ruining anything. [[note]] The parody was uploaded 18 months after the original song was released. [[/note]]
161** In "Top Ten Reasons We Hate Facebook", Mario refers to Facebook games as cults.
162-->'''Mario:''' F*ck you, Mike! I will ''not'' join your cult!
163** ''Candy Crush Saga is Evil'' is a massive jab for the [[VideoGame/CandyCrushSaga afford mentioned game.]]
164* TeleportersAndTransporters: Mario brings a teleporter onto the blog.
165* ThisIsNoTimeToPanic: Fafa warns Mario about the dangers of panicking during a zombie apocalypse:
166-->'''Mario:''' Zombies! Zombies everywhere!
167-->'''Fafa:''' Mario, don't panic. That's when the zombies get you, when you start panicking.
168-->'''Mario:''' [[BlatantLies I'm not panicking! Do I look like I'm panicking to you?!]] I know you got to keep it together when the zombies come! Otherwise, they COME! They eat your BRAINS! They get on your COMPUTER! THEY GET ON YOUR TV! THEY GET IN YOUR COMICS! THEY GET EVERYWHERE! AAAAAAAHHHHH!
169* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Mario and Fafa's even worse presidential candidates are villains from various franchises... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]].
170* TimeTravelTropes: Played with in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75nBenOWul0 10 Reasons Why Time Travel is No Good]]
171* TimeMachine: In the TimeTravel blog, as expected.
172* ToiletHumor: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75nBenOWul0 10 Reasons Why Time Travel is No Good]]:
173-->'''Fafa:''' Number 6A: The past is gross.
174-->'''Mario:''' ''({{Beat}})'' Everything is covered in feces!
175-->'''Fafa:''' Number 6B: In the future, ''you'' are gross.
176-->'''Mario:''' ''({{Beat}})'' There's nowhere to take a feces!
177* TopTenList: Some of their blogs, like "10 Reasons Why We Hate Facebook", "Nine Movies that Make Men Cry", and "Top Ten Worst Top Ten Lists".
178* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Parodied in "Please Stop Giving Everything Away, Hollywood!" They literally tell you the whole story of Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack.
179* TheUnintelligible: Gorilla, who speaks exclusively in "Meh"s. [[RuleOfFunny Occasionally, a joke will hinge on the audience at least somewhat understanding what he's saying]], in which case his speech will sound more like he's just replacing every consonant with "m".
180* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Mario and Fafa's idea for condensing the UsefulNotes/OlympicGames to prevent it from getting too overwhelming.
181* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Bobo Rimple Killer in "Blog Crasher!" is dangerous, psychopathic, killer criminal who wants revenge on Mario for putting his life hell, especially for [[spoiler:killing his brother, Bobo [=RumpleCuddles=] in "Cute Character Blog.]] His appearance brings the series into it's darkest hour.
182* VisualPun: Their return in December 2018 is started by a hype train. That is to say, a ''literal'' train that drives through their house.
183-->'''Fafa:''' Oh! I always wondered what these train tracks were for!
184* VlogSeries: Of course, being a videos series posted on Website/YouTube.
185* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent:
186** Mario sounds kind of Eastern European, but it's never addressed.
187** Hanzi has some French or Italian accent going on, but that isn't addressed either.
188* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Subverted; the blog is set in Brooklyn, NYC.
189* WhichMe: Fafa uses a Time Machine to hang out with himself, to which Mario fears for the worst and so he uses the TimeMachine to get his own Time Clones and destroys the TimeMachine!
190* WithFriendsLikeThese: Mario's Facebook "friend" Mike; the embodiment of all things awful about Facebook.
