Context YMMV / RubberFruit

Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: One can't deny that the person has excellent taste in classic video game music.
2** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Libic29tjbs Heavy's Pizza Song]]", an original song done in collaboration with Music/TheLivingTombstone. It's a shockingly epic song with incredible sentence mixing work for the lyrics, complete with a music video that utilizes [=RubberFruit's=] trademark silly charm.
3* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext All of his videos can be summed up with this trope]], but one notable example is in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlfpItt1cfg Dude Time]]. After RED Soldier sprays himself with Dude Time, he is approached by Scout's mom, who has BlankWhiteEyes. RED Soldier then has a seizure and four BLU Soldiers pop out of him, form a line, and explode. That in itself fills the "appears out of nowhere" and "strange in context" criteria, but then it takes "never mentioned again" to the extreme because, once the BLU Soldiers explode, the earlier clip of RED Soldier spraying himself with Dude Time is played again and, this time, he walks away with no reference to the earlier scene with Scout's mom and the BLU Soldiers, as if implying that what just happened ''[[ResetButton never happened]]''.
4** From "Sniper's Video Game Adventure", for a second, Sniper looks to his right to find a giant Orca. The orca then says [[VideoGame/MetalSlug "Fire bomb!"]] and explodes.
5* ColbertBump: Just about any music they use in their videos and references in their comments end up being raided by comments referencing the videos the music that have been used in on Website/YouTube. It is inevitable, and [=RubberFruit=] themself absolutely hates it.
6* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: It is common practice among some of [=RubberFruit=]'s fans to try to theorize hidden meanings in their videos, most likely intentionally invoking and even parodying this trope. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9ME5qMlWkU Wear a Helmet]] is [[TooSmartForStrangers a warning against the false promises of strangers]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNm0FyTBjIU Spy Gets His Driver's License]] is about [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids the death of innocence]] [[GrowingUpSucks as one grows up]].
7* MemeticMutation: He created the infamous [[ImAHumanitarian "cannibal"]] known as WebAnimation/PainisCupcake after all.
8** FountainOfMemes: Just about everything they create catches on one way or another.
9* NightmareFuel:
10** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BZRDJ5dGzM Scout shows his manface or something]] ends with Scout glaring at the camera with a PsychoticSmirk as an ominous DroneOfDread plays.
11** [[DownerEnding The ending]] to [[https://youtu.be/a01FnVVosx8 The Bad Trade]]. Heavy slaps the hat off of Soldier's head, causing him to scream and become low-resolution (Which, alongside other things, ''strips him of his facial features''), and Heavy laughs at his dismay... before ''something'' strikes him and inflicts the same effect on him, playing the harrowing "Unknown item" jingle from ''VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission''.
12** BLU Soldier's [[NightmareFace deranged facial expressions]] from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwr-uqkbeJc How To Destroy a Sentry,]] specifically with his SlasherSmile and bloodshot, wildly-rolling WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises. The [[NightmareFuel/SuperSmashBros music]] used for the ending doesn't help, either. '''GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVER'''.
13** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9ME5qMlWkU Wear a Helmet]], where Demoman turns into some [[HumanoidAbomination flying, violently-spasming...]] '''[[HumanoidAbomination THING]]''' and chases after a Heavy who took a helmet he offered him, with [[SongsInTheKeyOfPanic tense boss music]][[note]]Specifically, [[VideoGame/SuperMetroid Kraid and Crocomire's Theme]][[/note]] as he transforms.
14* OnceOriginalNowCommon: [=RubberFruit's=] content was incredibly novel back in 2011, being some of the most [[QuirkyWork absurd]] and comical fan-works for Team Fortress 2, and using Garry's Mod as an animation program was something not many thought to be possible. Nowadays, however, wacky [=TF2=] videos made with Garry's Mod became incredibly common. Granted, [=RubberFruit=] did pave the way for many to follow, but the amount of videos of this caliber has made his content less special, and viewers of more recent Garry's Mod animators like WebAnimation/Eltorro64rus might not find these videos to have stood the test of time.
15* QuirkyWork: Characters in the [=RubberFruit-verse=] speak completely nonsensical sentences, get into fights for the dumbest of reasons, can change proportions at will, die and kill each other in ways nobody in real life could ever perish to (Like, as Giant Engineers shows, ''miming holding a trigger''), devour one another frequently, and absolutely refuse to abide by the laws of physics.
