->''"Hello, my name is Drew Pickles, and I am really really gay."''
-->-- '''A typical line from a Barney Bunch video'''

The Barney Bunch as a community are a sometimes-loosely-sometimes-closely affiliated group of people on Platform/YouTube and other sites who make [[SyntheticVoiceActor Speakonia-narrated]] videos about the exploits of [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Drew Pickles]], [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]], [[Music/TheWiggles The Wiggles]], [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Ronald McDonald]] (better known as the Penis Clown), and other fictional characters, food mascots, and even celebrities, completely changed into extremely promiscuous homosexual men who regularly do unspeakable things. Originally having started out as a trolling group on Platform/{{Newgrounds}} in 2005, by the time it migrated to [=YouTube=] in 2006, it evolved into an ever changing community of users, with several 'wars' within the community throughout the late 2000s to mid-2010s.

The basis is to get a childhood cartoon character, food mascot, or celebrity (for example: WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}, [[UsefulNotes/GeneralMills Lucky the Leprechaun]], or Music/TheJonasBrothers) and make them talk about their extreme homosexuality. No information whatsoever is needed on the character, and not even '''[[VideoGame/BackyardSports Pablo Sanchez]]''' is immune. As a result, Hilarity ensues. No matter what your opinion is on the Bunch, whether you think they're a good StealthParody of exploitation of common gay stereotypes or just tasteless, you've seen at least one of their videos in your lifetime.

A few years back, some members of the community also trolled Platform/FanFictionDotNet with [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6563767/1/Drew-Pickles-Likes-King-of-the-Hill fanfics]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6563764/1/Drew-Pickles-Likes-Yogi-Bear that were done in the same way]]. They disappeared after a few months, though some [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8731626/1/Drew-Pickles-Bicentennial-Lemon-Party higher]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8734458/1/Drew-Pickles-Goes-to-LEGO-Island quality]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9677803/1/Drew-Pickles-Goes-to-Nearburg fics]] have been written in the years since.

In its later years, the Barney Bunch community was split between [=VidLii=], a website designed to mimic the late 2000s [=YouTube=] layout, and [=YouTube=]. The Barney Bunch in the mid-late [=2010s=] is noticeably different than the Barney Bunch of years past, as users such as Blood, Skewt, and Life Or Death spearheaded an eschewal of the classic BB video styles (such as the "Drew Pickles Goes To" videos) in favor of more outrageous, raw, spammy videos, but by the [=2020s=] the old style has been returning, and new, story-driven videos have surfaced as well.

See also WebVideo/SecretMissingEpisodes, a spiritual SpinOff series of videos made by the bunch.
----
!!These videos provide examples of:
[[folder: General Tropes]]
* AllGaysArePedophiles:
** Several characters are depicted as gay and willing to molest young boys, including Drew Pickles, Barney, Ronald [=McDonald=], Dick the Clown, The Wiggles, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XiAnA2trzE The Quaker Queer]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zempj9hv2HI Dr Lipshitz]].
** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in some videos when Drew Pickles says "God, I am such a pedophile!"
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVQYuy2m4Ig Even Jared Fogle is thrown into the Barney Bunch's shenanigans]].
* AllGaysArePromiscuous: Every character depicted as gay is willing to have sex with everyone who's male.
* AnachronismStew:
** These videos probably take place in the present day, yet as a child, Drew (according to his profile) masturbated to Music/TheWiggles, ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', and ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales''. He also got a computer with the internet at age 11.
** During the time [[https://youtu.be/FoRABn39aZY Drew went to]] [[Franchise/MegaMan Skull Castle]], Drew meets [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Splash Woman]] and pukes all over her. Thing is, Drew used a NES to get to Skull Castle, and ''Mega Man 9'', the game Splash Woman appears in, released in 2008 on the Nintendo Wii.
* AnatomicallyImpossibleSex: A hallmark of these videos. Drew Pickles' penis, for example, is [[BiggerIsBetterInBed 300 miles long]], and Barney's testicles are said to be "hairy"; the latter is lampshaded in-universe with him saying "before you ask how a dinosaur has hairy testicles, remember to never question swell gay anatomy." In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p6KOQWiCcs one video]] Drew wraps his penis around two other characters "like a [[PurpleProse glittery homosexual anaconda]]" and "moves it around like an elephant trunk" while he carries them with it.
* ArtShift: Some people make animated videos in Flash rather than simple videos in Windows Movie Maker, but Windows Movie Maker is still the preferred tool for virtually every current BB video user.
* ArtifactTitle: Drew Pickles is more associated with the Barney Bunch than even its namesake. If the videos on [=VidLii=] are anything to go by, it seems as if The Wiggles have become even more popular to use than the aforementioned two.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: A common complaint on videos with real people (usually historical figures or criminals) is that "___ wasn't/weren't gay!". The people who complain about this often are unfamiliar with the genre.
* AssShove: Assorted characters, mostly Drew Pickles, will use ''anything'' as a dildo, and announcing they are doing so. One Wiggles video even has them "shoving dildis up our ass like dildis".
** Poor Chas Finster is on the receiving end on this, with various videos featuring Drew shoving a multitude of objects up his ass including a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjyRO7oTKXk go kart]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHipwYVZTmI a train]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMArZWIzG3Q a jet plane]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pPeYdnVEbo a rock]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f_1aXq1fFo an elevator]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md_6crR99q8 a snowmobile]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU1ZliN67Js his Christmas presents]], etc.
** Drew has shoved Howard "The Dildo" [=DeVille=] up his ass, explaining his absence from ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021''.
* AxCrazy: Drew Pickles will kill and/or rape anyone who angers him depending on their gender.
* BearsAreBadNews: WesternAnimation/YogiBear and VideoGame/FattyBear, who claim to be gayer than Drew Pickles.
* BerserkButton: Drew Pickles has a lot:
** He does ''not'' like waiting lines. He'll also rape anyone who calls him a sick fuck.
** [[https://youtu.be/uVEZ3pgrqG0 He breaks the fourth wall to express his displeasure over those who depict him as bisexual.]]
** If one claims to be gayer than Drew, he will rape them in the ass very hard or even banish them to Hell in Screw Pickles' case.
** The mere existence of women and heterosexuals is this to the BB but most in particular the Wiggles.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jdustS1krg This video]] shows that Drew goes into a ''massive'' rage when people produce misinformation about the Bunch.
* BlackComedyRape: One of the main drivers of Barney Bunch videos is this.
* ButtMonkey: Anybody that dares to screw with Barney Bunch members. The Manager is a major example of this to Drew Pickles, almost always getting raped at the end of a "Drew Pickles Goes To" video.
** Chas Finster is Drew & Barney's personal butt-monkey, as stated by Drew himself.
* CanonForeigner:
** Screw Pickles, Drew Pickles' son who was banished to the deepest level of Hell for being gayer than Drew.
** Dick Pickles, Drew's African-American son, in some of the universes.
** The most prominent one is Drew Pickles Jr., the son of Drew & Barney. He's basically just Drew Pickles' head with a longer nose on Barney's body.
** Swellmix, a creation of the Bunch using the mixed DNA of Drew, Barney, and Ronald [=McDonald=] who [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters rebelled]] and nearly caused an apocalypse.
* CastFullOfGay: There are virtually no BB characters who were homosexual in their original incarnation. Even the notoriously evangelical [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Ned Flanders]] got turned gay.
** Hell, even the AmbiguouslyGay character that is [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} James]] has been written into the Barney Bunch's shenanigans.
* CatchPhrase: "Bag, that was swell.", although this has declined in usage along with the usage of Drew himself.
** In the ''Rugrats'' {{Gag Dub}}s by Bigboyrats, the standard title card sequence would then end with the background patterns flashing continuously (looped from the Season 3 episode title cards), to which Drew in voice-over would comment "Bag, the patterns are swell" before introducing the episode.
** The "official" Drew Pickles Facebook page has gathered flak for being so bowdlerized that the only status updates it posts are G-rated jokes about the word "swell." Occasionally a Barney Bunch member will post a typically NSFW comment related to the Barney Bunch on that page, but it is swiftly removed.
** Ronald [=McDonald=] greets people with "Ran ran ru, and how do you do".
** Dick the Clown's is "Hallo hallo kiddies".
** Betty [=DeVille=] greets viewers with "Hello my [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal delightfully darling dykes]]".
** The Manager always says "what the fuck is going on here?" when Drew's shenanigans reaches its climax.
* CensorBox: Sometimes used when characters have sex.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome:
** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Joey the Autistic Retard]], a ForcedMeme character made out of a kid featured in a [=TLC=] show whose clip of him wrestling with a relative was featured in the controversial "Drew Pickles Autism Documentary" video by [=Prime8NStuff=]. He was then included in the list of "butt-buddies and sex slaves" in a couple videos and then was abandoned and barely used again, mainly after some users breathed fire over the video.
** [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Singing Barack Obama Doll]], depicted as a member of the Bunch often during the UsefulNotes/BarackObama presidency, is another character who fell victim to this trope.
** Maid Marian, another long-forgotten adversary of the Bunch. {{Justified}} in that one video had Drew [[BatmanGrabsAGun shoot her]].
** The M-San Bunch, an ally organization from an older iteration of the BB universe. They were common on a older [=ShoutWiki=] iteration of the Barney Bunch Wiki (one that heavily favored {{Grunge}} music to almost religious levels, for some reason), but disappeared soon after.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLgg67_Qn6U This video]] lampshades it with the "House of Forgotten Barney Bunch Members" led by [=BJ=].
* CorruptTheCutie: It doesn't matter who you are or how innocent you were in your source material. If you're added to the Barney Bunch, you'll become as depraved as everyone else included.
* CrossoverRelatives: UsefulNotes/McDonalds mascot Ronald [=McDonald=]'s brother is [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/evilbarneynet/images/3/3b/250px-Dick_the_Clown.png/revision/latest?cb=20150907122930 an illustration of a clown of unknown origin]] given the FanNickname "Dick the Clown".
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Drew Pickles and the Wiggles are notorious for causing this.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Compared to Platform/GoAnimate, there's been very few attempts at deconstructing the usual Barney Bunch video formats:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FxnB0qaKtg Drew Pickles Goes to Real Life]] attempts to deconstruct the usual tropes of these videos if Drew was living in our world.
** Then there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONb06W_4Oco Drew Pickles Tries to Be Civilized]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43Ki-yG2ET0 videos]].
** There's another pattern of videos in which Drew attempts to do something ambiguous ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cIi308SxFY like bringing the heat,]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2cmPgUNxko dropping the bass]]) and ends up dying a horrible death each time, and trying again, a different way. Each time ultimately ends in Barney trying to stop Drew, only to for Drew to ground Barney and prevent him from engaging in the Barney Bunch's shenanigans until some event that is likely to never happen.
** [[=SavageBarney=]] (or [[=SavageBoy69Alt=]], depending on when you might remember him) made a series of Drew Pickles videos in which he just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrhwdePAt1s simply walks there,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDThOT7JEvw pulls his usual gay shenanigans]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTru26xvCSc and just leaves]].
** Robin Threadbare made a video in which [[https://youtu.be/_kr0W3_891c Drew Pickles goes to Florida]], only to be [[EvenEvilHasStandards put off by the hijinks of the many versions of]] [[OnlyInFlorida Florida Man]], disincentivizing him from pulling his usual shenanigans until the very end.
* DependingOnTheWriter: The Barney Bunch video making community is really quite fractioned at the end of the day, and nobody has really figured, or bothered to figure out and settle upon a true lore, depiction or even ''sexuality'' for its characters. Here are some examples:
** For some reason, Drew Pickles tends to be a lot of users' AuthorAvatar, and will like or dislike things depending on the video's maker. This leads to inconsistencies, like him being a fan of or hating ''Franchise/{{Halo}}''. Some users like Blood have been known to figuratively play jump rope with this trope, for example the now-terminated (and for good reasons, [[EveryoneHasStandards even by BB standards]]) [=DrewPicklesisSwell1957=], whose Drew Pickles commentary videos had him against things like Platform/DeviantArt.
** This also goes for the video maker's attitude toward the topics - some Barney Bunch videos with characters from other media or real life will be {{affectionate parod|y}}ies, while others will be made due to the maker's hate for the character.
** How much the characters dislike women can vary, from them wanting to destroy [=TVs=] if a woman is on the screen to merely being indifferent (The videos by the creator Blood often are this) to even being bisexual! However, in the latter case, Barney Bunch members are usually depicted as willing to punish other members in various cruel ways if they do end up engaging in sexual activity with a woman, or even come into contact with a woman in any way, whether it be by accident or not.
** The Betty Bunch's relationship with the Barney Bunch is really inconsistent - sometimes they're enemies, sometimes they're neutral allies or VitriolicBestBuds (though in recent years it's more and more becoming the latter).
** Stu Pickles ranges from being a flaming homosexual to being a bisexual foot fetishist. This actually led to a semi-dispute between [=videomakers=] in the mid-2010s.
** Drew Pickles ranges from being openly hostile to social justice warriors, to being a self-aware StealthParody of social justice himself.
** He also ranges from [[EvenEvilHasStandards being openly hostile against pedophiles]], to committing pedophilia himself (Characters like the 14 year old [[Anime/{{Sailor Moon}} Gurio Umino/Melvin Butlers]], 8-year-old [[WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}} Arthur Read]], 4-year-old [[WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}} Caillou]], and the 3-year-old [[Series/{{Sesame Street}} Elmo]] are members of the Bunch, so there's that, too).
** Drew Pickles also ranges from being against fetishes commonly used by say, [=DeviantArt=] fetish artists, to being open to partaking in them.
** And it gets a lot more inconsistent with old technology - the Bunch range from encouraging trolling towards so-called [=nostalgiatards=] to using old technology such as [=VHS=] camcorders and record players in everyday life (one long-gone Drew Pickles goes to video wherein he visits the [=DiC=] logo had him note that he's "a 90's guy and only uses VHS").
** This even extends to the character's voices. While it is common to use Microsoft Sam for Drew's voice, many of the Barney Bunch's earlier works from around 2006-2008 leaned towards using Adult Male #1.
*** Barney in particular is infamous for this too. Some videos make it Microsoft Mike to accompany Drew's Microsoft Sam, while others feature Speakonia's Adult Male #4 or #5 on the lowest pitch to be more like the actual Barney's voice actors (mainly Bob West or Dean Wendt). Lately, Barney's voice has been Microsoft Sam's at the lowest pitch, and, in videos by [=IronYoshi1212=], slowed down.
*** Same with Stu's voice. Some users use Microsoft Mike for the same reason, but after Bigboyrats used Adult Male #7 in his dubs, that voice has been used a lot, too.
** The line Drew Pickles waits in front of consists of either ethnic stereotypes and slurs or the kind of people who would appear at the situation at hand. Or both.
** Drew's [[ToiletHumor bowel movements]] range from normal if excessive to ungodly extreme and loud, as in something [[https://youtu.be/-y1tH9snO0k?t=88 like]] [[https://youtu.be/W3UMnp5B_no?t=390 this]].
** If a restaurant employee ''does'' accept Drew's order, Drew will either be extremely grateful someone will give him his disgusting meal or [[UngratefulBastard upset that they aren't following the formula]]. In the case of the former reaction, he'll either not rape them or [[MortonsFork rape them anyway]].
** The [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Teletubbies]] are very infamous for the fact their roles are very inconsistent, as Po and Laa-Laa are females in the actual Teletubbies series, some people turn them into males so they can fit right in with the rest of the bunch, while others make them into lesbians.
** When it comes to the spelling of Stu Pickle’s group, some people spell it as “Ketchum Klan”, while others spell it like “Ketchum Clan”, the possible reason why some people spell the group as “clan” is because the spelling “klan” may lead people into mistaking it for a hate group known as the Ku Klux Klan.
** The Betty Bunch is either [[WomenAreWiser slightly more reasonable or at least more civilized]] than the Barney Bunch or [[PsychoLesbian just as depraved as them]].
** If Drew ever does anything heroic by going up against someone evil or someone infamous in real life, he's either [[EvenEvilHasStandards doing it for the right reasons]] or [[NominalHero doing it with no heroic motives]]. On the morality side of things, he's either [[BlackAndGrayMorality the "hero"]], [[ALighterShadeOfBlack the lesser of two evils]], or [[EvilVersusEvil just as bad as them]].
* DepravedBisexual: Stu Pickles is portrayed as bisexual by some users, [[BerserkButton but doing this will generally lead to the rest of the fandom calling for your head on a silver platter]].
* DepravedHomosexual: All gay characters are willing to rape men or molest children to satisfy their sexual desires.
* DisproportionateRetribution: A staple of Barney Bunch videos. One notable instance is Drew Pickles going to a Pizza Hut, slicing a employee’s penis off, having customers trample each other to death, raping the manager to death and eating his corpse, and then finally burning the place down simply because they wouldn’t make his super swell pizza.
* DomesticAbuser: Drew Pickles is often depicted as an abusive partner to Barney. The abuse ranges from treating him like a child and grounding him for minor offenses, or outright beating the crap out of him or laughing at him when he gets seriously hurt. This is played for laughs.
* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: There doesn't seem to be much concern over Drew and the others raping men.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The earliest incarnation of the group on Newgrounds really was just a troll group that produced shocking and/or spammy Flash videos meant to piss off viewers. It wasn't until the move to [=YouTube=] where the videos started to have something resembling lore.
* {{Egopolis}}: Drewland, which is either part of the United States or it's own nation. Drew Pickles, of course, is ruler for life.
** The Betty Bunch is revealed to reside in "Bettysburg".
* ExtremeOmnisexual: As long as it's male, the Barney Bunch will rape it.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Drew Pickles hates homophobes, for obvious reasons.
** As stated in DependingOnTheWriter, some videos have Drew Pickles being against pedophilia and [[WouldntHurtAChild sparing children]] [[YouWillBeSpared from his rapings.]] Of course, other videos has him [[ZigZaggingTrope openly partaking in it.]]
** Drew does not approve of how [[https://youtu.be/jZWJZBnCqGM [=NFTs=] are harmful to the environment, steal work from artists, and are mostly a massive scam.]] He even says [[PetTheDog cares for the environment]] and wants the world to be a better place for Drew Pickles Jr. when he continues Drew Sr's shenanigans.
* FantasticSlurs: Averted as in many Goes To videos all of the Barney Bunch members often list racial stereotypes (complete with often calling them slurs) as part of "long fucking lines".
* FictionalCurrency: Drew dollars, the currency of Drewland. Drew often tries to use this in places that don't accept it, causing him to [[BlackComedyRape react in the way you'd expect when it's inevitabely rejected]].
* ForTheEvulz: A lot of Barney Bunch characters' motivations can boil down to this.
* GambitRoulette: How Drew Pickles' plans of raping men and beating women to death with his penis typically work out.
* GagPenis: Drew's mastodonic 300 mile long cock is probably the most triumphant example. In fact, the actual size of his penis is infinite.
* GroinAttack: Inverted. Drew often kills women by beating them to death with his 300 mile long penis.
* GuideDangIt: The "How to Unlock Drew Pickles" videos, in which Drew gives you instructions on how to unlock him in a video game, have ridiculously specific steps for the process to actually unlocking him and playing as him.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Drew Pickles Jr., the son of Drew and Barney, is essentially Drew's head (with a longer nose) on Barney's body.
** Swellmix is a {{Cyborg}} using DNA from Drew Pickles, Barney, and Ronald [=McDonald=].
* HehHehYouSaidX: "Today I come, hahaha cum."
* HeroAntagonist:
** Tony Little and the [[Series/{{Wishbone}} Wishbone Resistance's]] (yes, the dog's) goal is to save the world from suffering through more of Drew Pickles' homosexual shenanigans.
** As well as Straight Drew and Nega Drew, who are known for much more moral behavior. Nega Drew in particular wants to destroy the Barney Bunch and stop their shenanigans.
** The Manager, who's just trying to do his job and kick Drew out of his establishment after he spreads his shenanigans all over the place, up to including murder. As expected, things never go right for said manager.
* InSeriesNickname: A number of members of the Bunch have these:
** Barney the "Triple-Testicle Dildosaur".
** Ronald [=McDonald=]'s nickname in these videos is "the Penis Clown".
** The Quaker Queer's is "Cum Oats".
** Chas Finster's is "The Fister".
** Howard [=DeVille=]'s is "The Dildo", causing Drew to shove him up his ass for a prolonged period of time, explaining his absence from ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021''.
** [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]]'s nickname is "the Testicle Tickler".
** Arthur "Loves Cocks" Read. Buster Baxter, when he appears, is known as "[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Ball-Busting Baxter]]".
** Cap'n Crunch, the "Sexy Swell Butt-Pirate".
** Grimace goes by "The Talking Testicle".
* InsistentTerminology: "Poopy," "bum bum," "dialdough/dildis," "toilet slave," "cummy," etc.
** Anthropomorphic characters like Literature/{{Arthur}} and Series/HipHopHarry are often referred to as "hamsters", even though Arthur is actually an aardvark and Harry is a bear.
* IWillShowYouX: If someone calls Drew a "sick fuck" during a video, he will show them the ''true definition'' of one.
* KarmaHoudini: All of the Barney Bunch members get away with killing or raping innocent people and causing lots of property damage, and never get any comeuppance for it.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Drew doesn't always get away with his raping sprees, with videos such as [[Drew Pickles r*** an entire police force]] ending with Drew getting arrested and sent to court, leading to the events of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBpGhjxLSoM&t=0s Drew Pickles Goes to a Female Prison]].
* LadiesAndGerms: Drew Pickles (and sometimes Angelica) usually addresses crowds as "Lesbians and germs."
* LampshadeHanging: Later videos have more self-aware humor. The ''Rugrats'' {{Gag Dub}}s by Bigboyrats do this a lot, including pointing out some of the usual cliches of the series (such as having Drew comment on how the ''Rugrats'' episodes always open with some kind of weird [[GrossUpCloseUp closeup]].)
--> "Why do we always start these ''Rugrats'' episodes with grotesque close-ups of something?"
* LovableSexManiac: Pretty much everyone, though the "lovable" part may vary.
* MegaCrossover: Alongside the loads of characters, they've been from loads of series.
* MindScrew: Several videos tend to dabble in this to varying degrees such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68QUoVWWIoI Drew raping his original (and Chaz's) voice actor]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euGypaBNhfg going into a different Drew Pickles video and raping it]].
* MisterSeahorse: It was Barney who gave birth to Drew Pickles Jr.
* NoFourthWall: To the point where it's frequently {{lampshade|Hanging}}d.
* OlderThanTheyLook: In some videos, Drew claims to be 60 years old, despite appearing to be in his mid to late 30's.
* OnlySaneMan:
** Drew [[SanityBall sometimes]] takes this role in certain videos.
** The manager, who is trying to do his job and has every right to kick Drew and/or the Barney Bunch members out of his establishment for causing widespread chaos. Drew, of course, never takes kindly to his demands.
* PapaWolf: Drew and Barney are ''very'' protective of Drew Pickles Jr. when he gets threatened.
* PersecutionFlip: The Barney Bunch is completely 100 per fucking cent opposed to heterosexuality at any cost.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The Barney Bunch, especially Drew himself, will kill women by beating them to death with their cocks simply for being women, as well as referring to minorities in long lines as various slurs and offensive stereotypes.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Before Drew rapes the manager after they call him a sick fuck, he will say “I’ll show you the true definition of a sick fuck!”
* PsychoLesbian: Any member of the Betty Bunch is a lesbian who's nuts (this depends on the videomaker though).
* RealityWarper: Since no logic exists in these videos, Drew Pickles can, more or less, do anything he wants even if it is logically impossible including using abstract concepts as dildis or traveling to places that are either not around anymore or don't technically exist.
* RunningGag:
** At some point in almost every "Drew Pickles Goes to..." video, the manager of the establishment steps out of his office and says something along the lines of "what the fuck is going on here?" Drew proceeds to rape the manager. Lampshaded in a few videos which take place at schools, churches or other places - a character will threaten to get the manager, after which Drew will rape said character and comment something along the lines of "There's no manager at a [school/church/hospital/library/etc.], you dumb little shit." Conversely, this is also such a standard part of the videos that sometimes places which don't normally have managers have them anyway, just to make the video match the normal pattern.
** No matter what kind of line it is, if it has people who would logically be there or various stereotypes, it will always contain at least some Mexicans.
** If Chas Finster appears in a video, it's always a guarantee that something will get shoved up his ass.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: A frequent trait of Barney Bunch videos. For instance, whenever the Barney Bunch drive anywhere, one of them will say "vroom vroom vroom vroom vroom", and the act of smacking someone will be accompanied by one of them saying "smack smack smack smack".
* StockFootage: Characters are simply represented by promotional images of themselves. Both images of the characters and locations tend to be found via Google Image Search.
* StockScream: Chas uses the stock scream used in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and other MGM cartoons whenever he gets violated.
* StrawMisogynist: If Drew's severe hatred of women doesn't make him one, then what does?
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Dick Pickles is essentially an African-American version of Drew.
** Drew Pickles Jr. is Drew's head on Barney's body.
* StylisticSuck: Most users (those in the Renaissance era onwards anyway) were well aware of the crude production of the videos and intentionally played into it, with a lot of their visuals poorly drawn in Microsoft Paint.
* SyntheticVoiceActor: Everyone. The general consensus is that Drew Pickles is voiced by Microsoft Sam, but other than that, it really depends on the video maker.
** With the launch of Uberduck.ai and its ability to make TTS voices out of already-existing characters, videos such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw-D5V7ZABY this one]] feature the actual voices of the Bunch. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69WX8BjfK2A This video]] is an Uberduck remake of the original Drew Pickles video with the signature drawn stillframe, ending with a clip of Drew from ''Rugrats'' with Microsoft Sam's voice telling the viewer they've been watching too many cartoons.
* TakeThat: Some videos have a unflattering take on a subject that goes beyond the simple "Drew rapes it and/or smacks it to death" and provides genuine criticisms, or at least as motivation for Drew's shenanigans for the video. Some topics including [[https://youtu.be/jZWJZBnCqGM NFTs]], [[https://youtu.be/7LvD-DOaAfk the Epic Games Store]], or [[https://youtu.be/rN-mvds_qN0 Butch Hartman]].
* ToBeAMaster: Drew Pickles gets angry when someone claims to be gayer than him. He later began competing with WesternAnimation/YogiBear to be the gayest thing ever. While Drew is gayer, Yogi is a sicker fuck. [[EnemyMine They'll have to team up]] to take down the even gayer [[Creator/HumongousEntertainment Humongous Bunch]], though.
* ToiletHumor: In addition to jokes about the characters' homosexuality, many Barney Bunch videos delve into this kind of humor.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Drew will shove ''anything,'' including explosives, whole human beings and other things which would be ridiculously painful, up his ass.
* UnitsNotToScale: Drew Pickles' penis is supposedly 300 miles long. However, in some videos [[RuleThirtyFour where it is visible]], it appears to be much smaller. Justified, as it has been stated that Drew can make it as big or small as he needs it to be.
* VillainProtagonist: Drew Pickles (after all, he does rape lots of men and kill lots of women with little or no provocation), to the point where even both [[VideoGame/{{Hatred}} The Antagonist]] ''and'' [[VideoGame/{{Postal}} The Postal Dude]] would be hiding their heads in shame.

[[folder: Tropes in specific videos]]
* [[AllYourPowersCombined All Your Gayness Combined]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-JuutQxR14 How Screw Pickles was defeated]].
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: A non-fatal example. In a now deleted video where Drew stops [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror 9/11]], the crowd continues to cheer as Drew rapes Osama bin Laden.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In addition to his regular crimes in "Drew Pickles Goes to WesternAnimation/BluesClues", Drew also eats the hidden pink snail for no reason whatsoever.
* {{Bowdleri|se}}zation: Inverted in old song parodies done by [=MrEXPERIMENTAL=] and others in which Drew or other characters will "sing" pop songs of the time with lyrics altered to be about extreme sexual behavior, masturbation, homosexuality and the like.
* CelebrityParadox: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68QUoVWWIoI Drew Pickles goes to meet his original voice actor]] has him try his usual brand of depravity on Michael Bell, the voice actor for his canonical self.
* ChildByRape: In one version of the universe, Dick Pickles, Drew's African-American son.
* FantasticRacism: The term "Unestablished", usually going to characters who are not part of the original canon. Blood is a notable detractor to this, stating in the comments of a (now lost video) that adding characters is okay as long as the user makes them count. By the time the BB hit [=VidLii=], the idea of established/unestablished characters appeared to be a thing of the past.
* ForcedMeme:
** [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973 Maid Marian]], who claimed she could rape anyone and in doing so turn them ''straight''. Drew eventually got fed up with this [[BatmanGrabsAGun and shot her]].
** Joey the Autistic Retard, as mentioned above.
** Music/TheWho were pushed in videos by [=SavageBoy69=] in mid-2016. However, unlike the above two examples, The Who actually did take off for a little while, and there wasn't really any backlash.
* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Some videos take a break from the usual Blood-style or Drew Pickles Goes To formulas to have other things occur:
** A series of videos made by various users on [=YouTube=] had Drew Pickles discuss [[VanityPlate logos]].
** The "How To Unlock Drew Pickles" videos teaches viewers the unorthodox and downright insane process on how to unlock Drew Pickles in a specific video game.
** "Drew Pickles Explains His Reasons For Not Starring In" has Drew explaining why he didn't star in a particular movie or TV show, mostly coming down to the director rejecting all of Drew's ideas and accusing him of wanting to make a gay porno.
** The "Drew Pickles Commentary" videos, wherein Drew Pickles talks about controversial [=YouTube=] users. Many Barney Bunch video makers [[EveryoneHasStandards refuse to acknowledge these as "true" Drew Pickles videos due to their trolling content]].
* GagDub: Even though most are unfinished, they include ''Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie'', ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'', ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'', and the most recent, ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers''. Former Platform/YouTube (now Google Drive) user [[https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15dTpZ2SbSRtygyDGTLRLq_Fhv8mv45m8 Bigboyrats]] specializes in these, making Barney Bunch-themed dubs of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episodes. WebAnimation/TomServo3 also made some ''Rugrats'' dubs with a darker tone and YouTubePoop elements thrown in.
* {{Gasshole}}: [[http://en.barneybunch.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Chaz_Finster Chas Finster]] holds the universe record for the loudest fart at 1,000,000,000,001 decibels. When he farted, it stank out every single universe in the entire multiverse, including the ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' universe!
** Barney has been characterized as having extremely powerful, if not outright lethal, farts. This idea was first introduced in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqI00tsLKC8 a video by BooNube]].
* GretzkyHasTheBall: From one Barney Bunch website: "Drew was sent to Barney's Penis World to play the worldwide Boner Baseball Superbowl! He did successful in this superbowl, and he even performed in the halftime show by doing magic tricks with his dick."
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: A video of [[https://youtu.be/HVrOeDuFE_4 Drew Pickles expressing disgust of the video maker's behalf]] over a video containing animal cruelty and death has Drew absolutely [[EvenEvilHasStandards disgusted]] over the LackOfEmpathy from the original video uploader, to the point he can't bring himself to have a orgy with the Barney Bunch due to how enraged he is by the fact that a video containing animal death is allowed on [=YouTube=].
* PetTheDog:
** Some videos will have Drew Pickles actually [[Main/ForGreatJustice do something heroic (albeit disgusting)]], such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xtn-IuK8Ps destroying]] ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' (though he quickly replaces it with the Swell Games which is only [[LesserOfTwoEvils marginally better]]), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNaoJwbwcYY stopping the activities of the Westboro Baptist Church]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGGGfvYPNKk twice]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5HYPWUWOKc defeating ISIS]], [[https://youtu.be/SJ11c2ZvGrE dealing with Vladimir Putin]], or, in one video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p6KOQWiCcs stopping the Columbine shootings]] [[NightmareFuel by having a swell gay threesome with the two shooters]].
** In a video where he goes to a ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' [[https://youtu.be/8eUDvsH4yUk tournament]], after Drew loses to Creator/MasahiroSakurai in a match to put the former in the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate second Fighter's Pass]], Drew actually lets him go due to the dedication Sakurai has put into the series and even stating he deserves a long break. [[MoodWhiplash And then Drew rapes the manager instead.]]
* PoliticalCorrectnessIsEvil: This was a theme of some Barney Bunch videos, as expected by media that originated from trolls.
* PutOnABus:
** As of the late 2010s, The Wiggles have been used so much that when the BB hit [=VidLii=] in mid-2019, one channel who did a reaction video essentially assumed it was all Wiggles videos.
** Screw Pickles, Yogi Bear, and the Humongous Bunch were once huge enemies of the Barney Bunch, but today they're rarely used anymore, and when they ''are'' used it's only Yogi Bear.
** The Betty Bunch, the lesbian counterpart to the Barney Bunch, rarely even show up in modern-day Barney Bunch videos, and when they do they are depicted as the VitriolicBestBuds of the Barney Bunch rather than enemies as they were originally depicted in older videos. Skewt and [=SavageBoy=] tried to HandWave this in their rendition of the [=BB=] universe by claiming they were completely wiped out by the Barney Bunch in war.
** Dick Pickles, Drew's African-American ChildByRape, has been phased out in favor of Drew Pickles Jr.
** TheBusCameBack: [=IronYoshi1212=]'s videos and ''The Great Speakonia War'' are more story and lore-driven, so these characters, especially Screw Pickles, Fatty Bear, and the Betty Bunch, are used more frequently (especially after Betty became canonically lesbian in ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021'').
* ScrewYourself: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJu-ir8vj78 Drew Pickles meets...Himself?!]] involves Drew Pickles (Speakonia) meeting an alternate version of himself (voiced by uberduck.ai) who is far closer to his canon counterpart. Drew of course forces himself on his alternate counterpart and turns him into a copy of himself, prompting Uberduck.ai Drew to become gay and decide that he'll divorce his wife.
* SealedEvilInACan: "Drew Pickles Meets Princess Molestia" reveals that the Wiggles were so depraved they had to be sealed away in a box; Drew even stating their [[SpotlightStealingSquad 2016 takeover]] as a result of their chaos.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Drew Pickles plays this role in WebVideo/PubeMuppet videos.
* SpinOff: The Ketchum Klan, a group of foot-fetishists founded by Stu Pickles and Delia Ketchum.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Between 2016 and 2020 (the revival era), The Wiggles overtook Drew Pickles to be the de facto mascot of the Barney Bunch, with their [[CrossesTheLineTwice downright horrifyingly depraved]] behavior far surpassing Drew or any other characters up until that point and making the olden days of Goes To videos tame and quaint in comparison. Skewt, one of the period's leading video makers, criticized this in his 2018 retirement video, although come the community's 2019 stint on VidLii, he came to embrace it like everyone else.
* TelevisionPortal: A large number of "Drew Pickles Goes to" videos where he travels into the worlds of TV shows and movies usually have him get there by popping in a VHS or DVD of the show or movie in question and then jumping into the TV screen.
* VillainHasAPoint: During the time [[https://youtu.be/1lLqicSZrfQ Drew went to]] [[Film/CoolCatSavesTheKids Cool Cat's house]], he calls out Derek Savage for using profanity and states he needs to be a role model for children. [[{{Hypocrite}} While Drew himself is far from being a role model himself]], given how Derek made a children's series meant to discourage bullying only to bully critics, Drew somewhat has a point.
* VoiceClipSong: A remix of [[VideoGame/GunstarHeroes Empire - The Final Assault]] called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FwLOKydWMc Swellstar Heroes - Drewpire: The Final Orgy]] was uploaded by XxGuardianKnightxX on September 2nd 2010.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: New Barney Bunch members are rarely seen outside their introductory videos. The Quaker Queer and The Painter avert this, however.
