Ready? Sego!

• Adaptational Villainy: Jeremy Scott is the main villain in this video.
• All for Nothing: Death 31, when jayRiott realizes that the Create mod allows for customizable trains to built in-game after he just spent a week stop-motion animating one in vanilla.
• Asshole Victim: Jeremy Scott. While his death really was horrific, the sheer amount of innocent people he's killed with his cackling makes it hard to feel sympathy towards him.
• A Taste Of His Own Medicine: This is how Jeremy Scott meets his end.
• Autobots, Rock Out!: All of Death 49 is scored by none other than "It Has To Be This Way".
• Big Bad: The titular Cinemadversary.
• Brown Note: Anyone who hears the Cackle of The Cinemadversary crumbles to dust. Inverted when it reaches a Wither Skeleton, who quickly regains his skin instead of it crumbling off.
• Call-Back:
  • Death 27: The Construction Guy from Part 8 returns, building an entire shelter out of Obsidian not forgetting what happened last time. But since he spent it all while not stopping for a quick nap...
    Construction Guy: There, ceiling's done. Ain't no skeletons gonna shoot in here. (immediately swarmed and killed by Phantoms)
  • Death 29: The Death Star from the previous episode makes an appearance, as it attempts to blow up the Earth, but the planet is saved thanks to the Life Star, allowing Earth to go full Heavy on the Death Star.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Death 49, "Meeting Your Match" makes Jeremy Scott a victim of this. Thanks to Rich Evan's even more irritating cackle, Jeremy doesn't just get disintegrated by the laughter, but it's excruciatingly drawn out as he's torn layer-by-layer until there's nothing left. The worst (or best) part? The laughter-waves are transparent, meaning we see the entire thing in action.
• Curse Cut Short: In death 32, BlondWolfGirl almost calls Rover a "son of a bitch" after he throws a Splash Potion of Poison on her and FinnTheWinn, but she dies before she can finish it.
• Facepalm Of Doom: A Running Gag involves content creators, whether it be Jake himself or Mojang developers, giving themselves one upon realizing a missed opportunity for, say, the name of an item/mob in-game.
• Fake Shemp: Both Jeremy and Rich use chopped up soundclips from their videos to make dialogue, something that is lampshaded in Death 50.
• Heroic R Ro D: Shortly after his victory over Jeremy below, Rich collapses onto the ground after overexterting his funny bone. He didn't die, however, but he is in critical condition.
• Heroic Second Wind: Rich Evans gets one during his showdown with Jeremy Scott. When it seems he's about to get dusted by Jeremy's laughs, the ghost of fellow RLM actor Mike Stoklasa shows up, giving Rich the power to pull through with a horribly aged article on Jar Jar Binks.
• Karmic Death:
  • Death 9; SnaikTheJaik tries to pull his Dinnerbone prank on Stu riding a pig, but the pig moves out of the way, causing Snaik to miss and accidentally name the whole world Dinnerbone, flipping everything upside down and causing him to fall into the sky.
  • Jeremy Scott got a taste of his own medicine at the hands of Rich Evans in death 49.
• More Dakka: Death 26: When the Heavy challenges Sgt. Grunt with his minigun, Grunt responds by pulling out his maxigun and blasts the Heavy away.
• No OSHA Compliance: Deaths 41 through 43 are a result of this. See Too Dumb to Live below. Deconstructed in Death 44, which has the owner of the factories get in legal trouble for this.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Death 20: Stu walks up to some pillagers in a poorly-crafted pillager disguise. The pillagers see through it easily and kill him. The next death inverts this; a player walks up with a very well-made disguise, fooling the pillagers… and an Iron Golem, who walks up and kills him.
• Precision F-Strike: In death 32, BlondWolfGirl almost cursed out her pet dog Rover when he bring the Splash Potion of Poison instead of the Splash Potion of Strength to her and FinnTheWinn. (Nevermind that dogs are colorblind.)
  BlondWolfGirl: Rover, you stupid son of a bi- (dies)
• Racing the Train: Death 30 has Brandon walking up to a train crossing with a slow-moving train coming from one side. Thinking he can make it across before the train could reach him, Brandon proceeds to walk down the crossing, only to get run over by a fast-moving train coming from the other side.
• Reality-Breaking Paradox: Death 47 shows what happens when two Uno reverse cards clash. A criminal tries to block Gambit's card with his own, but this causes a reverse effect on the entire world. Chickens explode instead of creepers, water has the burning effects of lava, and health potions become poison potions. The world is returned to normal when the reverse of the first scene plays out and two Uno reverse cards clash again.
• Reduced to Dust: The fate of almost everyone who hears the Cackle of the Cinemadversary.
• Running Gag:
  • The Cackle of the Cinemadversary.
  • People realizing a missed opportunity and subsequently facepalming themselves, exploding immediately.
  • Characters using an Uno Reverse card to No-Sell enemy attacks.
• Shout-Out:
  • Young Link is among the casualties of Snaik's accidental prank in Death 10.
  • Death 18 seems to be recreating the climatic scene in Avengers: Infinity War… but Jeremy shows up, and things go south from there on.
  • Death 26 features the Heavy.
  • Death 35 involves a robber trying to steal blueprints from Iron Man, who shows up trying to stop him, only to get Uno reversed.
  • Death 37 involves coming across frogs while wearing a goat-themed skin, like Toriel. This is because frogs eat goats in the game.
  • Death 47 is similar to Death 35, but this time with the XMen and Gambit in place of Iron Man.
  • The person who wrote the Snopes article at the end is Lem Sportsinterview.
• Spit Take: Brandon shows a man who is drinking McDonalds coffee an article revealing Blizzard's suggestive work management. The man spits out his coffee at Brandon in reaction, causing Brandon to die from having unnaturally hot coffee sprayed on his face. Said man later weaponized this trope against a dragon a few deaths later.
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
  • Death 3: Drinking too much water, say, 292 liters of it, can be fatal for you.
  • Deaths 41 through 43 have Stu die due to No OSHA Compliance. This gets the owner of the factories in legal trouble, as shown in death 44.
  • Rich Evans' Post-Victory Collapse after death 49: Laughing too much can be harmful since you aren't given enough time to breathe. However, this isn't counted as a death since it's revealed that he survived.
• Take That!:
  • The overarching plot of this one is an entire one to Cinemasins host Jeremy Scott, more so his (forced) laughter.
  • Death 7 is one to MC-2025's enormously long wait to get to the bottom of the page.
  • Death 19 is a small jab at people who say "they've abandoned their childhood", like the unfortunate politician. Sure, he survived the Cackle of The Cinemadversary, but it was generous enough to instead crumble away his suit, leaving him in Power Rangers themed undies.
  • Death 34 is one to Blizzard's very suggestive work management. And on the other spectrum (alongside Deaths 39 and 46) it's one to McDonalds coffee, which is unnaturally hot.
• Tele-Frag: Death 36: FinnTheWinn's and CinnTheSinn's thrown ender pearls collide in the air and fuse, causing the two players' bodies to be morphed together upon the pearl landing.
• Too Dumb to Live: Stu. You'd think he'd learn by now, but he's too dumb for that either.
  • Death 1 has him follow an ocelot off a tree.
  • Death 38 has him make an armor set out of hay.
  • Deaths 41 through 43 have him romping around in an ore refinery, a slab factory, and an oak planks factory respectively. Naturally, he gets killed by blades in the former two, and is turned into blocks in the latter.
• Who Writes This Crap?!: When Rich Evans introduces himself to Jeremy Scott, the latter turns to the camera and comments on the conflict being "as manufactured as it gets".
